Chapter 26: Getting Serious

On the pitcher's mound, the Ace of Yoshiyama High School was so moved by his Coach's expectation.

At the beginning of the match against Seidou, he felt that he was in good condition. Even if it wasn't in the best condition, but still good!

However, if you don't really stand on the mound and fight against the batters of Seidou High School, you can't experience the horror of Seidou High School's lineup.

As soon as they played against each other, the Ace pitcher of Yoshiyama High School realized that these guys in front of him were the most powerful opponents he had ever encountered since playing baseball!

Seidou's lineup is like a huge wave, and he is just a lonely boat in the ocean, he may be engulfed by the tsunami of Seidou High School at any time.

In the face of such a situation, the Ace pitcher of Yoshiyama High School, responded with unease like he was walking on a tightrope.

He dropped a total of three hits in the first three innings and no points.

His good state did not change until the fourth inning.

Kuramochi Yoichi relied on speed to get to the base, and Kominato Ryosuke also started using his devilish batting.

It is not difficult for the Ace pitcher of Yoshiyama to see the aim of Seidou from their attitude.

They are starting to get serious!

Then, it was Isashiki's hit.

The Coach of Yoshiyama High School thought that his Ace pitcher had been destroyed!

Actually, this is not the case.

The reason why the batters in Seidou can get hits one after another and hit the base is just because they are serious. And once they got serious, they just surpassed the Ace pitcher of Yoshiyama High School who was in excellent shape.

As far as the state of the Ace pitcher of Yoshiyama High School is concerned, there is no problem.

Now, he has received the trust and encouragement of his own Coach, and his condition has become even better!

On the strike zone, the captain Yuuki looked at his opponent on the pitching mound with a calm expression.

For the drama of ​​Coach and Ace of Yoshiyama High School, Tetsu-kun is not interested.

Standing on the strike zone, the only thing he has to do is to hit a hit and send his teammates on the base bag back to home plate.

Whoosh!

On the pitcher's mound, the Ace of Yoshiyama High School threw a very sharp pitch to the outside corner.

When the catcher saw this ball, his eyes were shining.

'The course, the speed, the break…'

Until now, this is the best ball Yoshiyama's Ace has thrown in the game so far!

'No, to be exact, it was his perfect Pitch.'

But before the catcher could admire the baseball flying toward him, a mighty bat like a raging thunder appeared between the ball and the catcher's Mitt.

Yuuki Tetsuya, who was standing on the strike zone swept the ball fiercely!

PING!

The baseball that was swept away, like a sudden laser, crossed most of the baseball field in an instant and landed in the gap in the outfield.

PAK!

The baseball landed, bounced, and smashed heavily on the back fence of the Koshien Stadium.

At this moment, the whole place was silent for a moment, and then a tsunami of applause and cheers erupted in the next moment.

While the ball was being hit, the outfielders of Yoshiyama High School seemed to be frozen in slow motion, not knowing what hit them.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

Seeing the captain hit the ball solidly, Kuramochi took the chance and returned to home plate first, helping Seidou High School to score the third point!

Kominato Ryosuke, even though he is not tall, his sense is very keen.

He started running before the ball hit the ground.

The outfielder of Yoshiyama High School was chasing the still-rolling ball like he was waiting for Ryosuke to pass third base and return to home plate before he touched the ball!

"Then I'm welcome!"

He went straight over third base all the way to home plate and helped Seidou High School score its fourth run.

"I don't know if it is good or bad luck to be on the same team with this guy!"

Isashiki, who was originally at first base, crossed second base and ran to third base. But in the back of my mind, he was still thinking about the swing Tetsu just now!

Although he did not sweep the ball out of the park, those who really understand baseball know that the swing of Yuuki Tetsuya is even more amazing.

Strength, speed, accuracy, and intuition…

There are many criteria for evaluating a person's swing, but there are very few cases where one's swing evolves into a personal style, such as Yuuki Tetsuya.

His swing already has its own set of moves and techniques!

Now, even if he is rolling and crawling in the mud, he probably won't be able to catch up with the progress speed the Tetsu has achieved.

The two Players are in the same grade, so of course there is a rivalry between the two.

When Isashiki reached third base, he saw the third base running instructor giving him a sign to keep going.

'Eh?'

Judging from the previous position of the outfielders, Isashiki thought that his running to third base was the limit, so how could he continue to move forward?

However, the tacit understanding between Seidou's team members still made him choose to trust his teammates.

Stepping on the third base bag with one foot, Isashiki stepped over, but did not stop, but ran non-stop to the home plate!

The outfielder of Yoshiyama made a mistake in receiving the ball coming to him from the player at the fence.

The baseball hits his Mitt and bounces to the front.

The outfielder from Yoshiyama High School hurried forward and picked up the ball again. But after such a delay, Isashiki had time to return to home plate.

Although the defense of Yoshiyama High School is also trying to prevent it. But when the ball returned to home plate, Isashiki was already at home plate with Kuramochi and Ryosuke, giving them high-fives!

At the same time, because they focused all their attention on Isashiki, Tetsuya, who ran to second base, took advantage of the gap and went directly to third base.

Triple hit!

Three points!

Seidou High School expanded its lead to five points.

5:0!

The outcome of this game, with the timely three-point hit of the captain, has already been determined in advance.

Next, look at the final score of the two sides. How far can it be?

"Yoshiyama High School, notice of changing players…"

No Out, runner at third base.

The Coach of Yoshiyama High School finally took back the trust from his own Ace pitcher, and he chose to change the pitcher.

The pitcher who just got on the field looks short, not at all like a high school student, let alone a player.

Regarding the information of Yoshiyama High School, Seidou High School did not have much information at all on this pitcher, who just came on the field and looked like a primary school student.

"What a challenge!"

While waiting for the ball, Sawamura pulled his stance open, holding the bat high and swaying it slightly.

In this way, his bat looks very flexible, ready to hit the flying ball at any time.
