Chapter 72: Just Pitching

The ball hit by Raichi is kept flying far away!

"Home run!"

"Two-run Home run!"

In the fifth inning of the game, Yakushi High School fought back and cut the lead to five points.

They were almost certain to lose, but they finally saved their lives.

"Kehahahaha!"

At the strike zone, Todoroki Raichi didn't run the bases immediately, he looked up at the sky excitedly.

"Amazing! Really Amazing!!!"

"Before entering the strike zone, it suddenly fell sharply, as if it were about to fall to the ground."

Awesome, So awesome!

Raichi's heart is full of incomparable appreciation!

To be honest, before the real fight, he never thought that he was facing such an amazing ball.

The dugout of ​​Yakushi High School.

"Haha, although the former Ace of Seidou High School is not bad, my moron son is even better."

"Yakushi!"

"Yakushi!!"

"Todoroki!"

"Todoroki!!!"

Conquered by the swing of Raichi, many in the audience stood up and cheered for Raichi!

This game was so exciting to watch.

When the first inning just ended, they thought that Yakushi High School was finished.

The difference is as high as eight points!

The opponent was Seidou High School, which had just won the championship in the Kanto Tournament.

No matter how you look at the little-known Yakushi High School, it is difficult to have any hope.

Unexpectedly, after five innings, the current situation will become like this.

Maybe, really maybe, a shocking comeback of Yakushi High School may happen!

You don't even need to see such it, just thinking about it is exciting enough.

In an instant, a lot of Popcorn Enjoyers became fans of Yakushi High School.

If it was another team, they wouldn't be so excited, but now, the one fighting with Seidou High School is Yakushi High School, a team that once defeated Sankou High School and created a miracle.

In the stands, Manaka stared at Tanpa on the pitcher's mound.

It's a lot of pressure!

The ball was Smashed by such a destructive swing.

This kind of despair he has really experienced once.

***

Ping!

Following Raichi's Homerun, Yakushi High School scored again in the fifth inning.

The changes in the game made people feel very caught off guard.

Tanpa, who was hit with a Home run, was like in a trance, constantly allowing hits and losing points.

After the Home run of Raichi in this inning, Yakushi High School recovered two points one after another.

Two Outs, runner at second base!

The total score was 10:7.

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School.

A great unease enveloped everyone.

Kataoka's plan failed!

No one would have thought that the Home run of Raichi would hit Tanpa like this.

Seidou had undoubtedly lost the bet just now.

If Tanpa could have used his Forkballs perfectly at that time, he would have eliminated Raichi, and Yakushi High School would have been doomed!

However, in the same way, if Raichi hits Tanpa's most proud Forkball, then Seidou will also be very passive.

Unfortunately, Raichi Smashed Tanpa's Forkball away.

Then Tanpa was completely stunned, the power of his pitching dropped a lot, and he also Pitched two Four Balls.

As soon as Tanpa collapsed, Seidou's situation became passive.

Originally, Kataoka made up his mind not to let Sawamura return to the Pitcher's mound, but in this situation, what can he do if he doesn't have Sawamura come back on the mound?

Both Furuya and Kawakami have already played, and now there is no chance to play at all.

At such a time a voice came from behind Kataoka.

"If we lose this game, there will be no more chances. During that duel, Tanpa's pitching was not the problem, and we can only praise his opponent's strength when he hits such a Home run. But now we can't let Tanpa stay on the field with his current performance!"

Ochiai came behind Kataoka at some point, stared at him seriously, and said.

Kataoka closed his eyes in sadness.

After cultivating Tanpa for three years, is this all of what he can do?

"One point! One more point and I'll replace him."

Ochiai was unimpressed by Kataoka's declaration.

The variable of Yakushi High School is too high. Right now, even if Sawamura is on the mound, it may not guarantee victory. If Kataoka is indecisive, then Seidou is really on their way to hell.

'No, the situation can't continue like this!'

"Coach Kataoka!" Ochiai will say more.

"I believe in Tanpa, and I believe in Sawamura even more." Kataoka's voice was very firm.

Seeing Kataoka like this, Ochiai also can't do anything.

The game continues.

Ping!

The eighth batter of Yakushi High School hit the ball with precision.

"Okay, it's a hit!"

"Go back to home plate!"

The baseball fell between shortstop and second baseman, a fielding gap.

Suddenly a figure moved rabidly.

He stopped the ball with his Mitt and gave it to another player who came to pick it up.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

Kuramochi gave a weird laugh and returned the ball to first base.

"OUT!"

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the first half of the fifth inning, Yakushi High's strongest batter, Raichi, defeated the pitcher Tanpa on the Seidou pitcher's mound. Yakushi High School took advantage of the situation and recovered four points in one inning.

The score gap was narrowed to only three points left.

Originally, Seidou was a sure winner, but now it's hard to say!

Not only was the score caught up, but the current situation of the game was also tilted towards Yakushi.

On the contrary, Seidou, who was in the lead, appears to be very passive in the game.

In the second half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked.

Sanada successfully scored three Outs, giving Seidou High School three hits and three hits.

Masuko Toru hit a third base fly ball and was picked up by Raichi.

Shiratsu hits a hit and got on the base.

This was the first hit that Seidou High School took from Sanada.

At that time, Seidou's players were still very excited, thinking that they could rely on this to go to base and completely tear apart the defense of Yakushi High School.

However, unfortunately, Seidou was not able to do so.

The ninth Batter Tanpa failed with a double play!

Seidou High School's lineup has reached the end of the ninth batter.

In the first half of the sixth inning, Yakushi High School attacked.

Before going on the field, Coach Kataoka suddenly stopped Tanpa and Miyuki.

"The first three batters in this inning were the ninth, the first, and the second. Get all of them Out, and at the beginning of the next inning against Raichi, I will let Sawamura return to the mound. If someone of these three hits a base, I'll replace you immediately."

Coach!

Tanpa looked at Kataoka in surprise.

"If you are going to hate me for this do it, this is the will of the entire Seidou. If you are shaky and afraid to stand on the pitcher's mound, then we will not keep you there. Until when will you be in chaos and cause trouble for everyone once the momentum is taken away?"

"..Yes!"

The bald Tanpa had a light in his eyes.

He got this!

Yeah, it's just pitching, he has nothing to fear
