Chapter 123: Burst Forth, EXPLOSION!

In the second half of the eighth inning, Seidou attacked.

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

After all, this is the fourth time Kominato Ryosuke has played against Miyano.

With a smile, he looked back in the direction of the Seidou rest area and saw Sawamura sitting on a chair, gasping for breath.

Around Sawamura, several seniors held water glasses and handed them to him.

Everyone has already recognized Sawamura's strength.

"Although I'm very happy to have such a reliable Kohai in the team. But I didn't plan to rely on the Kohai to bring me into Koshien."

'Bring it on!'

Ping!

After tangled up with a few balls, Ryosuke picked the right one, hit the ball into the outfield, and hit first base.

"Safe!"

No Outs, runner at first base.

Next, it was the turn of the third Batter, Isashiki Jun.

Isashiki, once again used an irregular swing to hit the ball out.

No one Out, there are runners at first and second base.

In the position of the catcher, Takehara's expression became strange.

He turned to look at his dugout.

In the previous ball, the power and speed of the ball dropped significantly. This result is obvious, Miyano's physical strength has reached the limit. Originally, with his rhythm and pitching style, it was no problem to Batter to a dozen or so innings.

It's just that Seidou's attack power is too powerful.

In this game, Miyano's pitches and physical exertion far exceeded their expectations.

The rest area of ​​the Hakuryu High School.

Coach Sasaki asked the bookkeeper next to him, "How many Pitches has Miyano thrown."

"114 balls!"

Sasaki frowned, then glanced at the substitute, and made a decisive substitution.

"The Hakuryu High School has requested a substitution, and the second-year pitcher Ouno-kun will play."

Miyano, who was replaced, collapsed directly on the bench.

So tired~

Miyano, who was sitting in the chair, felt that there was not a single cell in his body that did not wail.

The opponent is Seidou, and he must go all out on every ball and concentrate on it.

After throwing one hundred and fourteen balls, his stamina was completely exhausted.

On the other side, Seidou rest area.

"Tired and paralyzed?"

Chris frowned and looked at Miyano.

It's really time to be paralyzed. After four rounds of adaptation, Seidou's batters have fully adapted to Miyano's pitching rhythm, ball speed, and breaks. Well, players have changed!

'I just don't know, is the second-year pitcher you replaced has enough weight?'

It's hard to say what other pitchers started, but Ouno's start was a nightmare.

In the beginning, there will be a crisis in which there are runners at first and second base, and no one is Out.

Of course, this wasn't his worst luck, Ouno's worst was the two batters he was going to face next.

Seidou's fourth Batter, Yuuki Tetsuya.

Fifth Batter, Sawamura Eijun!

New pitcher, who just debuted. As long as he can stably exert his strength, he is still very hopeful and can win the number of eliminations. After all, if the batter wants to hit the pitcher's ball, he also needs to adapt to the pitcher's pitching.

It seems unfortunate that Seidou's fourth and fifth Batters are not the type that needs to be adapted to pitching.

Neither of them has a particular ball that they are not good at, in other words, they can hit any ball.

In the position of the catcher, Takehara watched Tetsuya as he remained motionless, with an astonishing aura, and his heart sank inexplicably.

To be honest, Ouno just came on the field, and he didn't want to put too much pressure on Ouno from the beginning.

But unfortunately, the current situation is very stressful!

'Ouno-kun, you must be steady. The next opponent is definitely the type you have never met before.'

After a brief exchange with Ouno, Takehara squatted down.

Bring it on!

On the pitcher's mound, Ouno had a paralyzed face, and it was difficult to see any expressions on his face.

Nervous, scared, excited, nothing at all.

Cold as a robot.

The bat in Tetsuya's hands was raised high, and his entire body remained motionless.

'Really annoying!'

Takehara felt this way every time he watched Tetsuya wait for the ball.

Whoosh!

The white ball is flying to the zone.

Sticking to the corner of the strike zone, it flew into Takehara's Mitt.

"STRIKE!"

The first pitch was a Strike, and it was a very good Pitch.

Yuuki Tetsuya was not able to swing the bat.

One Strikes, zero Ball.

At the position of the catcher, Takehara couldn't help but admire.

Unexpectedly, Ouno, who had a dead expression hanging on his face, behaved so calmly.

From behind and waiting on the on-deck for his turn. Sawamura's eyes narrowed.

Ouno!

After Miyano graduated, he began to serve as the Ace of Hakuryu. He didn't get into professional baseball in the future, but Sawamura knew a little bit about it.

His performance in Koshien was very good!

Cold-faced pitcher, Ouno.

In a way, this guy is more difficult than Miyano.

'You must be careful, Tetsu-san…'

Before Sawamura could finish his thoughts, Yuuki Tetsuya had already swung his bat.

PING!

After the white ball was hit, it passed behind the shortstop and landed in the outfield.

Neither outfielder reacted as the ball flew. Including Mima, there was not much time to respond.

Fast! Incredibly fast!

"It got through, a long hit!"

Kominato Ryosuke at second base went straight back to home plate and helped Seidou score a go-ahead point.

Total score: 4:5

Isashiki took the opportunity to advance to third base, and Tetsuya took the second base.

No Out, runner at second and third base!

Sawamura, who was worried about Tetsuya just now, had a bitter look on his face.

'As expected of Young General!'

After observing a ball, he hit Ouno's pitch.

Amazing!

"I can't be behind too!"

In this game, Sawamura's performance in attack was not very impressive. Three at-bats, one hit.

For others, hitting one hit in three rounds is not a lot, but for Sawamura, who has a hit rate of 70%, this hit rate is less than half of his normal level.

Shame~

Standing in the strike zone, Sawamura stared at Ouno with his eyes and posed a bunt with the bat in his hand.

'Walking?'

Seeing Sawamura's stance, Takehara's heart sank subconsciously.

But at the same time, he had to doubt. No one is Out now, there are people at second and third base. Sawamura could also bunt to secure two points.

Seidou, who was one point ahead, could not make Hakuryu feel hopeless.

But the two points are different. Once Seidou leads by two points, then Hakuryu High School will only have a theoretical possibility of winning.

'Use the Slider, close to the corner!'

No Out, runner at second and third base.

This also means that the first base bag is still empty, and it is not impossible to use some corner balls to decide the game.

'The same tactic, how many times do you use it?'

Seeing the ball, the corners of Sawamura's mouth twitched.

'Do you really think that there is no way for me to play the Slider in the outside corner?'

Sawamura retracted his bat, stepped out, opened his stance, and swung the bat decisively.

Ping!

After the white ball was hit, it flew out!

Outfield Long Play!!!

Isashiki Jun and Yuuki Tetsuya returned to home plate one after another.
