Chapter 57: Hell Mode

Two Out, and no one was on base.

It was Miyuki's turn at bat.

With the bat in his hand raised, Miyuki looked at the pitcher who was pitching the ball seriously.

Whoosh!

The white ball whistled.

On the first ball, Miyuki didn't swing.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

Miyuki fell behind with a strike.

"You can do it, Miyuki!!"

"Swing the bat, Swing!!!"

"Hit it out, Miyuki!"

In the rest area, the third-year senior cheered Miyuki on.

Miyuki wiped his nose in embarrassment. He also wanted to swing, but he had to choose the path to swing, right?

Looking back at Mino on the pitcher's mound, Miyuki's eyes showed some admiration.

Sawamura hit a home run just now, but the opponent was not affected at all.

130+ km/h, combined with Breaking balls that are not very sharp, normal ball control…

Mino's abilities are not weak, but not very strong.

If not careful, he may also be solved.

'I must be careful when swinging the bat.'

Even though he told himself this in his heart, Miyuki's eyes never stopped observing his opponent.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

After two Strikes in a row without swinging, Miyuki was chased.

Seidou's rest area.

Isashiki pouted in dissatisfaction: "This guy is too weak when there is no one on the base!"

"If this is not the case, the main catcher of Seidou may not be Chris, but him."

Compared to Chris, Miyuki's biggest weakness is when there is no one on the base, his batting is so out of tune.

In other respects, the two are similar.

Kataoka looked up at the scoreboard.

3:0!

Although it is regretful that the attack would end here when their momentum is this high, this score is also acceptable…

He is ready to start the next inning.

"The batter is chased!"

"Just deal with him like this."

In Yakushi's rest area, the players on the bench kept cheering on the pitcher.

On the strike zone, Miyuki looked helpless.

'Everyone really doesn't expect anything from me!'

He could clearly feel the silence in the Seidou rest area.

For fear of affecting his next swing, everyone dared not even cheer.

'But I'm not going to give up just like that!'

SNAP!

"BALL!"

On the third ball, Miyuki didn't swing, it was a Ball.

The count became two Strikes and one Ball.

Yakushi's rest area.

Todoroki Raizou's brows suddenly wrinkled.

"The other party seems to be guessing our calling!" Behind him, Sanada said suspiciously.

Todoroki Raizou nodded: "looks like this is really the case."

On the strike zone, Miyuki's brain is like a computer, doing data analysis.

The first ball is an offensive inside corner, the second is a low down-center, and the third is a Ball from the inside corner.

'This pitch calling is not that clever, and according to this pattern, the fourth ball is…'

Whoosh!

The white ball whistled.

Miyuki, who was on the strike zone, stepped out with one foot and then slammed the flying baseball hard.

PING!

'The last ball is a low outside corner!'

The small white ball was hit and took off into the sky, flying out of the field.

"It's Out! It is Out of the Park!!!"

A Home Run

Following Sawamura's Home Run, Miyuki hit a Home Run with no one on the base.

Not to mention Yakushi players, even the Players of Seidou High School are surprised!

"This little..!"

Isashiki just said that Miyuki couldn't do it, and as a result, he scored a Home Run and made him swallow his words.

He just has to embarrass himself, has he?

In the stands, Takashima Rei looked at Miyuki who was walking on base with a smile, and felt extremely pleased.

"This guy is finally evolving."

Total score 4:0!

The boiling atmosphere was not over yet.

"Seventh batter, third baseman, Masuko-kun."

BUZZ!!

PANG!!!

He swung the bat with incredible force, hitting the Breaking ball in the inner corner and Smashing it out of the field.

Another Home Run.

Starting from Sawamura, Miyuki and Masuko hit three consecutive home runs.

This is not the core lineup of Seidou, but the middle and lower lineup.

Seidou's rest area, Coach Kataoka's face became completely relaxed, and he was really pleased.

"Oh, he started to get a hang of this swing. Like this, Masuko can utilize his power better." Said Ochiai.

"Yes, and in this way, we got three consecutive Runs!" replied Kataoka very satisfied with the progress of the game and his student.

"And now we can have a lot of leeway for the rest of the game that we can use."

While the two leaders of Seidou were discussing the progress in the dugout, the second, third, and fourth batters of Seidou High School looked at the situation on the field and felt that they were reading the wrong script.

'We are still the cleanup on the team, right?'

Meanwhile, in Yakushi's rest area, those substitutes who were very spirited at the beginning did not speak at a time like this.

Todoroki Raizou pouted in dissatisfaction: "Looks like the 30% luck is not on our side either."

After two Outs, they lost three consecutive home runs and dropped four points.

Before they could be happy, the game turned on the hell mode.

"Coach, let me play." Sanada said softly.

His voice was not high, but he was very firm.

Todoroki Raizou shook his head without hesitation, rejecting Sanada's suggestion.

"If you play now, we'll lose."

Total score 5:0!

At that time, even the people of Seidou themselves thought that the scoring was over.

After all, it was the bottom lineup's turn to play, and the situation on the field was two Outs and no one hit the base.

As a result, they didn't expect that Seidou's lineup was on Hell Mode, and the Explosions couldn't stop at all.

First, Shiratsu got a Four Balls.

Then Sakai got a hit!

The situation became two Outs and runners at first and third base.

"First batter, shortstop, Kuramochi-kun."

After Kuramochi came on the field, he swung normally and ran directly.

The sudden attack caught Yakushi by surprise.

Shiratsu returned to home plate, extending the lead to six.

6:0!

Then Kominato Ryosuke hits a good hit to save his reputation as the Devil Brother.

Seidou scored another two points.

The total score became 8:0!

It wasn't until Isashiki hit a bad hit that Seidou's attack ended.

The first inning, 8:0!

This huge score, not to mention Yakushi, and Seidou themselves were feeling a bit weird.

Isn't this… a bit too smooth?

In the next inning, even if Sawamura didn't play, Seidou would still have the chance to win.

Is it possible that Yakushi can still catch up with so many points?

In the stands, even the experienced Fujio also believed that the outcome of this game was decided.

With eight innings left, could Seidou not score more?

Can Yakushi High School catch up? Also unlikely…

"In one inning, Yakushi was defeated."

Fujio said with emotion.

Fujio couldn't believe it unless he saw it with his own eyes. Yakushi, who defeated Sankou High School before was destroyed by Seidou in just one inning.

However, who could have expected what would happen in the next eight innings?
