Chapter 155: The Players of Seidou

Kominato Ryosuke!

Sawamura Eijun!

And in the rest area, Yuuki Tetsuya, who had put on his batting glove and helmet and was ready to play.

Looking at these players, Ochiai had to be amazed!

Coach Kataoka's confidence is not completely blind.

In his hand, he is indeed holding a good card. Even Ochiai didn't think that the next three Batters would drop the chain at a critical moment.

"You really trust them!" Ochiai said softly, Watching Kominato Ryosuke prepare to deal with Narumiya Mei.

The voice wasn't loud, but Coach Kataoka heard it. He heard Ochiai's muttering and turned to look at Ochiai seriously.

"Let the players decide their own future. With these three guys on the field, even the others won't say anything."

Kominato Ryosuke, Sawamura Eijun, and Yuuki Tetsuya.

These three people can definitely represent the highest level of Seidou High School.

The hopes of more than 100 people in the baseball club of Seidou High School are completely pinned on them.

Coach Kataoka believes that there is no problem with this.

Ochiai's eyes widened, his hand touched the goatee on his chin, and stared at Kataoka in a daze.

'It turned out that Kataoka did know what to do now.'

'Rather, he believes in the abilities of the players more.'

Moreover, Kataoka should think that his students will never lose to Narumiya Mei.

'It's an enviable teacher and students relationship.'

Kataoka's resolute attitude made Ochiai involuntarily think of everything he had in Kanagawa!

When he was a coach originally, he believed that he was definitely doing his best for his players.

Although the relationship is mutually beneficial, Ochiai has no reservations as a mentor.

He gave his favorite players the best guidance.

The strange thing is that after these players graduated, almost no one came back to the school to visit him.

Colleagues said at the time that he was not sociable.

Ochiai also took it for granted that this was the reason for his own character.

Until he came to Seidou and saw Kataoka.

Ochiai has a different feeling.

In terms of personality, he should be much kinder than Kataoka, right? The guidance is also softer than Kataoka…

According to Ochiai's own standards, although Coach Kataoka is a good mentor, he should not be that much respected by the players.

But the reality is often very strange. Kataoka is not only deeply respected by his own players, but even players who have graduated and become famous often come back to visit him.

Just like, Azuma Kiyokuni, who came yesterday.

Before the final, he even brought a car full of gifts to visit his Coach and Kohai.

This is very incredible for Ochiai.

At that time, he thought, what kind of charm do Seidou High School and Superintendent Kataoka have?

Now, he can faintly feel a little bit.

His so-called dedication, in fact, is not dedication, just a job.

Teaching players to play baseball is just his job.

Come to think of it, the players playing baseball under him probably have similar thoughts.

Join a Famous High School, enter Koshien, and enter professional baseball.

High school, for them, is just a stepping stone.

When these players in the baseball club of Seidou first joined the team, few people would have a strong sense of identity with Seidou.

They were thinking about entering Koshien, and then becoming famous, taking the opportunity to enter professional baseball.

But later, these things gradually changed.

Under the guidance of Coach Kataoka, under the considerate care of Seidou, and under the care and encouragement of the seniors…

They are no longer the individuals they were before entering Seidou.

Instead, they became players of Seidou High School!

"This game should be won, right?"

He too felt like he became a member of Seidou High School.

Even Sawamura Eijun, this super genius!

His sense of identity with Seidou is very high.

'I'm really lucky to be able to teach at Seidou High School."

Ochiai thought while he stared at the strike zone, and Kominato Ryosuke, who was ready to strike.

One Out, runner at first and third base.

"Second Batter, second baseman, Kominato-kun."

Such a situation, for Seidou High School, is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to score. Not to mention, in this Pitching Duel, they themselves have a huge advantage. After all, they are now one point ahead, not Inajitsu.

Right now, if Seidou can get additional points, then Inajitsu has almost fallen into the abyss.

For this rival in the same district of West Tokyo, the players of Seidou High School will naturally not hold back.

"Ryosuke!"

"Smash it out!"

"Let the bastard of Inajitsu see the fighting spirit of the little man."

In the stands, the supporters of Seidou High School were unwilling to be lonely and cheered the batters on the field.

If Seidou is full of passion, then Inajitsu is definitely walking on thin ice.

The situation is very bad!

Why did Inajitsu give Seidou High School one point?

It is because the situation where there are runners on the first and third bases is too dangerous!

At that time, if they didn't give a point to Seidou High School, they would probably lose more points.

In that situation, the players of Inajitsu had to make a choice.

They used the lost point to successfully resolve their unfavorable situation!

The Inajitsu team is generally very pragmatic.

If conditions permit, they will not hesitate to give another point to Seidou High School.

But unfortunately, the current situation does not allow them to give any more points to Seidou High School.

In this game, without considering the extra innings, Inajitsu only has the opportunity to attack in the eighth and ninth innings.

The two innings against Sawamura Eijun,

And they need to score three points or more from the Demon King.

This is really a hard task.

At least compared to the unfavorable situation where runners at first and third base.

Letting Seidou continue to expand the score is even more of a no.

"This time, definitely stop them!"

In the rest area of ​​Inajitsu, Kunitomo Coach shook his neck, and then decisively signaled the players on the field.

Step forward to defend, forcing Seidou to face off!

They only believed in Narumiya Mei Right now.

Of course, it was different from the previous situation.

This time, he was facing Kominato Ryosuke, who had extremely flexible strike skills.

And, Sawamura Eijun!

'These two players are not good at strength, use Straight balls to crush them!'

In addition to letting the infielders move forward to guard, Kunitomo also gave such instructions to the battery of Inajitsu.

Let them go head-to-head with Kominato Ryosuke and Sawamura Eijun with Straight balls.

The sitting Catcher, Harada, clenched his teeth tightly and said nothing.

Although Kominato Ryosuke and Sawamura Eijun have given the feeling of lacking batting power, the real situation is not so.

Through the previous innings, he had a clearer understanding of the batting of Kominato and Sawamura.

To be honest, the batting power is indeed not the strong point of the two, but this does not mean that the batting power of the two is weak.

It's just that the striking power is not too obvious compared to the other aspects of the two.

But for them, it is still very dangerous to throw Straight balls in a row.

Once Mei's ball control deviates, or they guess the ball path, they are likely to hit Mei's ball directly for a long hit.

A long hit!

Not to mention Chris at third base, even Kuramochi at first base is likely to run straight back to home plate.

Harada believes that the opinions given by Coach Kunitomo are very risky.

He didn't want to do it if possible.

But what if he didn't do that?

It is not Seidou High School that is in a disadvantageous situation now, but Inajitsu.

If you follow the orders step by step, Inajitsu will lose this game!

To turn defeat into victory, you must take risks.

When he gave Narumiya the sign, he used a lot of force.

On the mound, There was no expression on Narumiya Mei's face!

Whoosh!!

The ball, like a missile, was thrown from Narumiya Mei's hand and then flew to the top of the plate.

On the strike zone, Ryosuke's face was a bit ugly.

'In the middle!'

The position where Narumiya pitched the ball was so strange.

With one Out and runners on the first and third bases, Narumiya still throws the ball in the middle.

Incredible!

This guy is simply daring.

Is he sure he won't swing the first ball?

Kominato Ryosuke couldn't figure it out, but that didn't stop him from swinging his bat at all.

It is absolutely impossible for Kominato Ryosuke to let go of the ball in the middle.

He aimed at the ball early and swung the bat.

Although Kominato Ryosuke is not tall and does not seem to have enough strength, his swing speed is very fast, completely catching up with Narumiya Mei's terrifying ball speed of 150 km/h.

In Ryosuke's eyes, the flight path of the white ball has been completely grasped by him.

He has absolute confidence that he can hit the white ball Out.

Kominato Ryosuke's mind flashed the memories after joining Seid-

He forcibly cut off these memory fragments in his brain.

'Unnecessary!'

Now he doesn't need that, he just needs to hit the baseball in front of him.

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School.

Kominato Haruichi stared blankly at the figure playing on the strike zone.

Aniki!

Ping!

The white ball was hit and flew high.

The ball flies high, high.

Time seemed to be on the rise and fall of baseball, paused.

It was a long, long time before the baseball fell.

The first baseman of Inajitsu didn't even move his position, he just raised his Mitt very plainly and took the ball into his Mitt.

"OUT!"

On the strike zone, Kominato Ryosuke's face was a little pale.

'When the baseball entered the plate, it floated up?'

'How can that be?'

...

T/N: This Out will not be in vain.
