Chapter 119: Start the attack!

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

Two Outs, no one on base!

In such a situation, Oda Honjo stood on the strike zone.

'They are all monsters!'

He looked up at Tanpa on the pitcher's mound, and the fielders in various positions at Seidou High School.

Oda secretly sighed.

Originally, he was under a lot of pressure by entering Hoshiryu.

Okuchi's father, Ryuki, has the skill to swindle people.

Almost all the famous geniuses in Nagano Prefecture were scammed by him. Surrounded by such a group of little monsters, Oda Honjo felt a lot of pressure.

In order not to be eliminated from the main lineup, he had to train harder, and only barely kept up with the footsteps of the large string.

Simultaneously, Oda Honjo is aware that depending solely on his modest talent has reached its limits.

He originally thought that this would be the case with the top players in the country…

Nanami, Okuchi, Matsumoto, Tsuchihara, Keiba, Hirata, Hattori…

Look at these guys around, which one isn't a brilliant talent?

When considering their combined might, if they're not at the pinnacle of high school, it's beyond Oda's wildest dreams to conceive what the ultimate high school team would resemble.

Before, they had played against Inajitsu, which was known as the strongest Inajitsu in the past 20 years.

In that game, Hoshiryu High School lost, the score was 3:0.

But as far as Oda Honjo felt at the time, they were no weaker than the other, and there were two reasons for the loss.

On the one hand, they were led by the nose of Inajitsu at that time. On the other hand, they were not particularly familiar with high school baseball at that time and had no experience in playing against the top giants in the country.

Oda has always held the belief that in the event of another battle, it is uncertain who will emerge victorious and who will be defeated.…

This is what Oda has always thought.

But after today, he might have to change his mind.

The strength of the team in front of him is completely higher than that of Hoshiryu, there really is a team that is better!

The team's strength surpasses that of Hoshiryu in every aspect. Even with their top pitcher substituted, they still held the upper hand against Hoshiryu.

This is Seidou High School!

'Sawamura, you really joined an incredible team!'

With a sigh in his heart, Oda Honjo's expression became solemn.

Despite standing before a monstrous challenge, his efforts had been too great to simply accept defeat lying down.

Ping!

Relying on a tenacious swing, Oda smashed the ball abruptly.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

The ball was not particularly strong, and Kominato Ryosuke ran over ahead of time and caught the ball in his Mitt.

Although Oda worked very hard, guts alone could not make up the gap in strength.

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

In the rest area of ​​Hoshiryu, Before the players went to the field, Coach Ryuki glanced at the score on the electronic scoreboard.

2:1!

With Sawamura off the mound, they were one point behind.

The result was not good, it was horribly bad. Anyone who has really played against Sawamura knows that Sawamura is in a very stable state. It is very difficult to conquer him in a short time. Under the unfavorable situation, Seidou will definitely replace him.

The only good news now is that the score gap has not been enlarged.

"The upcoming inning is crucial to the outcome of this game. Scoring points is essential, and overtaking is the optimal strategy. If Sawamura steps back onto the pitcher's mound too late and can not change the course of the game, it would be ideal!"

In the next inning, it was Hoshiryu's cleanup turn to play.

Starting from Keiba, followed by Tsuchihara, Nanami, Matsumoto, and Okuchi…

After all, this is the third time they have fought against Tanpa Koichiro.

Hosho Ryuki believed that these students under him would definitely live up to his expectations.

Hosho Ryuki's offensive plan is perfect, but their clean-up has not had their turn yet.

The core line of Seidou High School has already begun.

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

"Second best, shortstop, Kominato-un!"

Before the attack, Coach Kataoka and Coach Ochiai had already discussed the countermeasures against Nanami Haruka.

"To be honest, a pitcher with his own characteristics like him is really not easy to deal with!" Ochiai was so emotional.

Kataoka knew this too. Pitchers with their own characteristics are quite nasty as an opponent.

For example, there are two guys like this in Seidou High School. One is Sawamura, and the other is Furuya.

Sawamura Eijun's Moving ball is itself a rather bizarre ball path. If the batter wants to hit Sawamura Eijun's Moving ball well, he can only rely on luck or power.

The same is true of Furuya's high-speed ball.

You don't have a good strategy other than relying on your strength to fight.

Of course, this means that Furuya Satoru himself has to pitch Strikes, if he doesn't, then he is Digging his own grave.

Now Nanami Haruka's ball is the same!

Why does Sawamura feel like Nanami made him eat his own words? It is because Nanami Haruka has found his own characteristics, and his future potential is beyond Sawamura's expectations.

"Nanami Haruka has already pitched over 60 balls! We're only in the sixth inning, and there's still a need to wear him out. So, don't hesitate to push him to his limits. A reverse cutter like that requires significant ball control and finger precision, and he won't be able to maintain it for much longer.

Kominato, Chris, and Shiratsu, when it's your turn at bat, remember to engage more. For the rest of you, don't feel compelled to do the same; swing the bat in the way that feels natural to you, face the opponent directly, and muster the strength to overcome his pitching!"

"Yes!"

The Players of Seidou High School shouted confidently.

Before Hoshiryu High School launched the attack, Seidou High School launched it first.

The first to stand on the strike zone was Kominato Ryosuke.

"Kominato!"

Coach Kataoka gave Kominato a deep look.

"I see!"

Kominato Ryosuke nodded with a smile.

He had entangled with Nanami Haruka once before. Nanami Haruka's pitching rhythm is so good. After five innings, why has he already pitched more than 60 balls?

Kominato Ryosuke contributed a lot here, and he himself accounted for more than 1/4.

Although it is very risky for Kominato Ryosuke to continue to entangle with Nanami Haruka.

But for the team, in order to completely defeat Nanami Haruka, Kominato Ryosuke has no hesitation.

'It's him again!'

When seeing Kominato Ryosuke, Nanami Haruka felt a pain in his liver.

The two points he lost were more or less related to Kominato Ryosuke, and this guy was very annoying.

"What an annoying opponent!"

Even Nanami Haruka, who likes to fight with people and seek excitement, doesn't like Kominato Ryosuke.

To put it more bluntly, he hates confrontation with Kominato Ryosuke.
