Chapter 177: Until the End

In the first half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked.

"Sixth Batter, third baseman, Masuko-kun."

Masuko, who was on the Batting Box, looked extremely focused.

He doesn't have a long grip on his bat, and it looks like he's trying to focus on steady hits.

In the face of this brute force guy, the Komadai players also had a big headache. Especially the catcher Sato, when he saw Masuko, he felt that his brain was about to explode.

'But there is no other way, we have to face it.'

He bit the bullet and gave Nitta a sign.

Nitta also threw the Screwball as he was ordered, and now Nitta has no better weapon to use for Seidou. All he can use is his Screwball.

Whoosh!

The spin of baseball is stronger than ever.

To deal with Masuko, Nitta subconsciously showed 100% of his strength.

Masuko on the strike zone is extremely calm.

He didn't swing the bat in a hurry but waited until the baseball entered his hand before swinging the bat in his hand.

"With your strength, there's no need to be fixated on long hits. With a normal contact and your power, it won't reduce your attacking strength. Didn't you verify it yourself?"

The instructions of Coach Kataoka always lingered in Masuko's ears, and his eyes were full of spirit.

'Hit it out!'

'There's no need for a flashy swing, just hit the ball!'

BUZZ!

The bat was swung with an unconquerable momentum.

Approaching the Screwball by Masuko's hand, he was forcibly smashed far.

After the baseball was hit, it landed behind the shortstop, and in the defensive gap.

"Well played!"

"Masuko-senpai!!"

Unlike before, Masuko has completely ascended in this game. When Seidou High School lineup couldn't do much against this pitcher, he won the hits cleanly.

Like a bull, Masuko rushed to the second base without a hitch.

No Out, runner at second base!

In the previous inning, Sawamura had just teamed up with Yuuki to create a scoring opportunity. In this game, Masuko relied on his own strength to give Seidou another chance to score.

Seidou's attack power is getting more and more unstoppable.

"Seidou!"

"Seidou!!!"

In the auditorium, countless audience stood up excitedly.

If the previous opportunity of Seidou was a combination of strength and luck, then the current opportunity is a real strength.

The Screwball pitcher Nitta was being cracked in real time!

Seidou's players were out for his head.

In the dugout at Komadai Fujimaki High School, everyone has a nervous expression on their faces, and they can almost see their momentum getting low.

When they watched Sawamura steal home plate before, their hearts were already in their throats! It was not until after Renji's wonderful performance that the Komadai won the double play, and their hearts settled down again.

As a result, their heart relaxed for a while, and now it is in their throats again.

The Komadai players had a very bumpy mental journey.

After seeing Masuko on second base, this feeling reached its peak.

In fact, if Seidou High School can really score points this time, then this inning will be the dividing point, and the game will be over.

Not only did the players from Komadai Fujimaki High School think so, but the players from Seidou High School also thought so.

They didn't think at all that Komadai people could get points from Sawamura.

"Seidou!"

"Seidou!!"

In the stands, the supporters of Seidou High School may not be able to see that far, but they also feel it. The situation of Seidou's repeated hits has already foreshadowed the outcome of the game.

Seidou High School should soon be able to determine the advantage.

The development of things seems to be evolving in this direction.

No Out, runner at second base.

"Seventh Batter, Catcher, Takigawa-kun."

When it was Chris's turn to hit the field, Kataoka gave him a sign in the rest area to walk Masuko to third base.

For Seidou, this kind of tactic is very handy when they play.

Chris has no opinion either, or it should be said that he knows better than anyone the importance of Seidou being able to score a point right now.

Ping!

In the face of the flying Screwball, he directly used a bunt.

The No. 1 catcher in Kanto, who became famous in middle school, has a solid foundation comparable to his handsome face. Even if it was a tactical bunt, he also hit the farthest corner.

After hitting the ball, he flew straight to first base.

But his speed was really inferior compared to Kuramochi, and he didn't even have an advantage over Sawamura in swiftness, in the end, he could only take the Out.

Although Chris was solved, his mission was accomplished.

Masuko went to third base safely with this bunt.

The situation became one Out, and there was a runner at third base!

"Eighth Batter, right fielder, Shiratsu-kun."

right now, it was Shiratsu's turn to attack. Unlike the previous partners of Isashiki and Sawamura, Shiratsu is the batter and Masuko is the runner. This combination is much stronger.

Without mentioning Masuko-senpai, who is relatively sturdy and looks bulky. But he really ran like a heavy tank, and most people really couldn't stop him.

And when it comes to tactical bunts, Shiratsu, who is not visible, can rank in the top three in the entire Seidou High School.

The top two are Sawamura and Ryosuke.

Therefore, Seidou High School has a great chance to score!

Even when the infielders of the Komadai all stepped forward, ready for the fight. Seidou High School still has great opportunities!

Press area.

Fujio looked at the situation on the field with emotion.

'Unexpectedly, Seidou High School's low-level belt line can also be connected to such an offensive.'

'Seidou, it is really strong and terrifying!'

In fact, the luck of Seidou High School in this tournament of Koshien was not good. Like Hoshiryu, Seihou, and Konan these schools also have the strength to enter the top four in the country. Seidou met them before the semi-finals.

'And defeated them in a crushing manner.'

This itself shows the strength of this Seidou High School now.

Besides Komadai, the strength of Komadai is actually very scary. This team from Hokkaido is not as incompetent as everyone thinks. On the contrary, their strength is terrifying.

The Ace is strong and even kept a card to the finals, as well as the strong defense is connected with a strong lineup.

But it is such a Komadai when facing Seidou High School, they are still pressed by Seidou like this.

Even bystanders have such feelings, not to mention the Komadai players who are currently playing on the field.

They also have a premonition of failure!

However, remembering their previous training, hard work and sweat, and the current game.

None of them will ever step back.

In the final of Koshien, they can't lose before the game ends, right?

On the pitcher's mound, Nitta's eyes were red.

He was already red-eyed, he didn't think about anything but pitching.

'Go!'

All the strength of the whole body was concentrated on the pitching hand, and Nitta threw the baseball in his hand.

While Nitta pitched, Masuko ran towards the plate like a giant tank.

On the strike zone, Shiratsu carefully controlled his bat, and then knocked out the flying ball.

Ping!

After White's ball was touched, it bounced toward third base.

Shiratsu's face was a little ugly.

The ball is heavier than expected!

However, it shouldn't matter. Although the third baseman from the Komadai can pick up the ball, there should be no chance of passing the ball to block Masuko.

Steady!

With Shiratsu's calmness, he couldn't help clenching his fists secretly right now, he was very excited.

This point is so important!

It can even directly establish the victory of the game.

The Komadai's third baseman also rushed out, and he knew it was too late to pick up the ball and pass the home plate.

No way, only bet!

With a steeled heartbeat, he directly picked up the ball with his Mitt and passed it to the catcher Sato using the Mitt like a racket.

SNAP!

Sato received the ball one step ahead!

But it didn't seem to be of any use. Masuko was close to home plate, and he didn't have time to block, when Masuko saw him catch the ball, he was already flying towards home plate.

He was like a huge tank, zooming in fiercely.

If Sato turns around, it's too late to touch Masuko Out!

right now, the blood in the young man's body was soaring, he turned over and threw himself with all his might to solve Masuko.

In this way, he touched Masuko with the Mitt holding the ball in advance, but Masuko's momentum was so powerful that his body continued forward involuntarily.

Pak!

There was a crash, and the scene was in chaos!
