Chapter 178: Out of Power

The accident happened in an instant, and when everyone came back to their senses, Masuko and Sato were already rolling on the ground.

Masuko's arm was on the base of the home plate, and Sato's Mitt was on Masuko's body.

At that time, the referee and the audience did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and the referee made a decision based on what he had seen before.

"OUT!"

From his point of view just now, Sato's Mitt touched Masuko one step ahead. After the ball was hit by Shiratsu, Sato's body also moved after the ball. By the time he saw the third baseman catch the ball, he had left the home plate behind.

So when he caught the ball, Sato had his back to the plate, and Masuko rushed to the plate from behind him.

Sato, who was catching the ball, couldn't do it if he wanted to turn around and run to touch Masuko.

He could only act decisively and jump at Masuko to touch him Out.

Masuko's huge body was running fast!

In this way, Sato crashed into Masuko after his Mitt touched Masuko's body.

So the place was in chaos.

After the home plate referee pronounced the sentence, he signaled Masuko and Sato to get up.

But neither of them stood up.

The home plate umpire didn't know yet, and things were probably not as simple as he thought right now.

He reached out to stop the game and squatted down.

"How about it?"

Masuko indicated that he had no problem, but Sato on his body couldn't stand up and was gritting his teeth.

Immediately called a doctor, and the doctor quickly gave the results.

"He hurt a bone here, it doesn't look like a fracture but he will need to go to the hospital for treatment."

Sato was carried down under the gaze of tens of millions of people in front of the TV.

This scene made everyone's heart sink.

The members of the Komadai have a heavy heart, and the members of Seidou are not so much better.

No one wants such a thing to happen.

Sato was carried away, and Masuko returned to the rest area.

Sawamura stepped forward to comfort the senior of his dormitory.

"You are not to blame for the situation just now."

"I know!"

Masuko said in a loud voice.

Of course, he knew that Sato was injury was his own fault. But seeing someone being carried away beside him with his own eyes, Masuko's mood is still very complicated.

The guy almost disabled himself!

Is it really necessary to risk your definitely bright future for this game?

Masuko's confusion aside, the game continues.

Although Masuko was blocked and Out, Shiratsu got on base.

When the opponent chooses to solve Masuko, Shiratsu is already safe. If it wasn't for the accident and the stopping of the game, Shiratsu might have reached more bases.

Two Outs, a runner at first base.

It was the ninth batter Sakai's turn to attack.

Sakai's fighting spirit is still very high. Although his presence is not very strong now, as the main starter of Seidou, he still hopes to get hits and help the team gain a greater advantage.

After standing on the strike zone, Sakai felt an inexplicable chill in his back.

The Komadai lineup has been adjusted, as the main catcher is injured, Enjou Renji, a freshman outfielder, dons the catcher's gear and serves as Komadai's catcher, and of course, the outfielder was replaced.

After Sakai entered the strike zone, he suddenly found that the Komadai players looked like they were going to eat him alive.

They looked at him with fierce eyes, as if they were going to swallow him whole.

Sakai also understands that they must be crazy when they see teammates injured.

'But that's not our fault, right?'

'Do you think this will scare me? You got to be kidding!'

Sakai glanced at the menacing Komadai with as much challenge, as this was not to scare the brave young man.

'Come on, let's see who's afraid of who?'

Ping!

Nitta's Screwball was hit.

Unfortunately, being brave and being good at batting are two different things.

Sakai did not hit this ball well, landed in front of the pitcher, and was picked up by Nitta.

"OUT!"

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the stands, the members of Hoshiryu were also caught off guard by the accident just now.

It has to be said that this kind of thing happened in the game, it was quite exciting. Although the two involved in the accident are not the core figures of the teams, such a fierce collision will undoubtedly make the game way more hot.

"Originally, Seidou's win was set in stone, but now it's hard to say." Nanami Haruka said.

It's not unfounded for him to say this. Sawamura's terrifying 12 consecutive Strikeouts had actually defeated the mental defense of Komadai High School to a certain extent, and they were a bit stunned.

After that, if Seidou kept it up, it was only a matter of time before they scored points.

And the Ace pitcher of the Komadai is almost equal to being broken now.

When it comes to evidence, Nanami has them.

Now even Sakai can hit Nitta's ball!

Among all the players in Seidou, Sakai is definitely the last. Even he can hit the ball, let alone other people.

If the turn returns to the cleanup, they might be able to see home runs.

In this situation, the mentality of the Komadai players must have undergone a huge change. Even if the pitcher was changed and the situation was saved, no points were lost, and the players' spirits were also lost.

Losing their will to win, how could they possibly win?

But Sato's injury rewrote this.

Humans have blood, and Komadai players are naturally the same. After their companions were injured, they were either timid or desperate with Seidou.

The current result is clearly not the former.

"The desperate also have the means of the desperate, but the current Komadai pitcher here is out of power. If they don't have another pitcher of sufficient weight, the result of the game will not be overwritten." Matsumoto said.

"Before the Komadai were known for their follow-up pitchers, and there were several good Pitchers."

"But not enough weight!" Hosho's tone was the coldest.

Without the comparison of Sawamura, the pitchers on the Komadai's side are under less pressure, as long as they focus on the game. With a bit of luck for three or two innings, it is not impossible to seal the Seidou.

But with Sawamura as the opponent Ace, it is very dangerous to push anyone who can't follow his pace and unload the pressure he puts.

Everyone in Hoshiryu can see this point, not to mention the management of Komadai.

Nitta Kouzou glanced at Hongou, who was pouting behind him and said suddenly.

"Hongou, go to warm up now, the next inning will start with you."

"Um!"

The Hongou has long been impatient.

He stared at Coach Nitta, nodding hard.

This is very rare for Hongou Masamune.

Coach Nitta looked up at the electronic scoreboard.

'Five innings!'

Faster than he expected.

But there is no way, for this reason, he can only let Hongou play.
