Chapter 134: Swords Towards Championship

In the first half of the ninth inning, Hoshiryu attacked.

The score was 8:1, with a difference of seven points between the two sides.

In this round of offense, as long as Hoshiryu could not score seven points or more, there would be no such thing as the second half of the round. (Because it would have no meaning.)

Seidou High School did not continue their previous of changing pitchers to finish the game like usual.

Although Furuya's performance for Seidou was very eye-catching, in the end, Coach Kataoka was only cultivating him as a freshman.

After the third-year Tanpa Koichiro retired, he will take the position of Tanpa Koichiro as the main substitute for Sawamura Eijun.

With the cooperation of Sawamura Eijun and Furuya Satoru, even if the third-year players retire, the loss of Seidou High School on the pitching mound will not be large.

Of course, this is the original style of Seidou High School and the original plan of Coach Kataoka.

Opportunities are earned.

At the time of the original regional competition, he didn't think that as soon as I entered the competition in Koshien, Furuya's performance would be this impressive.

He is like the kind of player who is born for big scenes, the bigger the scene, the better his performance.

In Koshien, he played twice and his performance was perfect.

With such a near-perfect performance, he has won the trust of Coach Kataoka.

In the ninth inning, Kawakami, who was ready to play, failed to get his chance in the end.

Coach Kataoka chose to let Furuya, who was in excellent condition, Pitch the last inning.

"Eighth Batter, outfielder, Hirata-kun."

right now, the starter of Hoshiryu was their eighth bat.

Although he is only a low-ranking Batter in Hoshiryu, his batting strength is definitely not weak.

It's just a pity that his opponent is Furuya.

Not to mention that Hoshiryu has not seriously collected information on Furuya before, and has not done any special targeted training.

Even if they had collected information and had done training before, it was difficult for the batter to hit the ball for the first time facing Furuya's pitch.

That's the perk of a pitcher for having a special characteristic in his pitching.

It's hard to be a threat to a pitcher at this level for the first time without seeing their pitching in person.

Hirata is naturally the same.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

For three consecutive Strikes, Hirata, who had very good batting skills, did not touch a single ball.

One Out, no one hits base.

Seidou High School is still two outs away from the victory.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

Immediately afterwards, Hoshiryu's ninth batter completely copied Hirata's lead.

All three balls were swung at, and none of them were hit.

Two Outs, no one on base.

Seidou High School was only one Out away from the victory.

right now, the players in the rest area of ​​Seidou High School can no longer hold back. None of them were sitting on the bench chairs, and they were all crowded on the guardrail in front of the dugout.

They stared and cheered at Furuya, who was pitching the ball.

One, just another one!

As long as they get one more Out, Seidou High School wins.

Not only them but also those in the audience.

They all watched the final showdown eagerly, waiting for the result to be revealed.

In the first half of the ninth inning, no one hit the base with two Outs, and the opponent was Oda Honjo.

Oda Honjo's fighting spirit is still very high, and his eyes are looking at Furuya on the pitcher's mound.

He is more pragmatic. At this moment, he does not have the confidence to say that Hoshiryu can tie the score in this one breath, much less overtake Seidou.

With such a big gap in the score, the players of Seidou High School are not silent mannequins. How could Hoshiryu High School easily catch up?

Losing is a certainty, but this does not mean that the players of Hoshiryu should give up.

Even if it is a dying struggle, even if it is for pride, They always hope to get another point back.

Oda has this passion and determination.

He hopes to continue to connect the line, so his attention is unparalleled.

But the reality is often so cruel. Although Oda Honjo's determination is resilient and admirable, it does not mean that he has the ability to hit Furuya's pitch.

Roaar!

Boom!!

There was a loud sound like a shell burst, and the shocked people were stunned.

"STRIKE!"

The first ball, Oda Honjo, didn't even react.

Although he had done a strong psychological preparation before, he still couldn't help trembling in his heart when he really played against Furuya's pitch.

It was this extremely small time frame that he didn't even have time to swing the bat.

When it came to the second ball and the third ball, Oda finally got ready for Furuya's ball, at least he wouldn't be so frightened that he couldn't even swing a bat.

He swings the bat perfectly!

It's just that this swing seems a bit futile.

The bat and the white ball never touched.

"STRIKE!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

"GAME SET!!"

With the last elimination count, the quarterfinal between Seidou High School and Hoshiryu High School had a final result.

"The total score is 8:1, and the final winner is the Seidou High School baseball team!"

"Let's congratulate Seidou High School for advancing to the semi-finals with warm applause!"

"Seidou's sword points to the Championship!!"

At this moment, the whole scene was boiling.

The power of Seidou High School makes people speechless.

Before the game, everyone originally thought that this game would be a close game. Even if Seidou High School has a slight advantage, it will never reach the level of one-sided crushing.

Of course, about the result, everyone predicted that Seidou would definitely win in the end.

The presence of Sawamura Eijun is a primary reason for such a thought to exist.

In the eyes of most people, the biggest problem facing Hoshiryu is that there is still no batter they have who can conquer Sawamura Eijun.

In the previous match against Seihou High School, Sawamura suppressed Sano Shuzo, who was the country's No. 1 Batter back then.

Even such a super monster can't defeat the Maou Sawamura Eijun, let alone other ordinary batters.

Compared with Sawamura, the gap is too big!

This is the reason why everyone is not optimistic about Hoshiryu.

Unexpectedly, in the real game, even if Sawamura Eijun did not stand on the pitching mound, Seidou High School also crushed Hoshiryu High School.

On the Press Box.

"The difference is huge!"

Looking up at the score on the electronic board, Owada Akiko said thoughtfully.

Next to her Fujio said flatly.

"In terms of strength alone, the gap between the two sides should not be as big as the score. Especially when Sawamura-kun didn't get on the pitcher's mound, the gap between the two sides was even smaller. The reason why Hoshiryu High School lost so badly, Is just because of their mistakes in preparation for the game…"
