"How can I rest, how can I rest, bastard bastard!!"

In the rest area of ​​Daocheng Industry, Cheng Gongming's furious scolding reached everyone's ears.

[I thought Naruto would be even more flustered, but he didn't show his emotions on the mound, it's already quite powerful. 】

Carlo grew to admire the man on the mound.

[It's a good thing that Naruto's will is not depressed, but the game with a 2-point difference still makes people sweat. There are still two more rounds left for us to attack, as long as....】

In the second half of the eighth inning, standing on the mound was Eijun Sawamura with the number 20 on his back.

"Bottom half of the eighth inning, Daocheng Industry's offense, sixth bat, first baseman Yamaoka"

[There are still two rounds... as long as we suppress these two rounds, we can go to that stage]

【Koshien...】

"Satou, pay attention to the long strike, back up a little bit." Senior Spitz shouted at Ryoma.

The first ball was hit out of bounds. Sure enough, with the pitching posture where the release point was completely invisible, even Daocheng Industry could not catch the ball in the first round.

【What kind of magic ball is that... I really want to play it】

"left field"

"Sato---"

[I didn't hit it well, it was a left field fly ball]

The white ball flew towards him, and Liang Zhen raised his feet to meet it.Seeing that the baseball was about to fly into the glove, Liang Zhen felt something hooked his left foot, lost his balance for a moment, fell to the ground, and the white baseball fell out of the glove.

"Ah! Here Seidou's first-year left fielder Sato made a mistake, the home plate could catch the runner's ball, and it landed—"

Isashiki Jun, who came running, quickly picked up the baseball that had fallen to the ground, and quickly passed it, barely stopping Yamaoka at first base.

"What's going on, you little brat, don't let me lose the chain at the critical moment!"

"Well, I tripped over my shoelaces just now." Liang Zhen pointed to his spiked shoes with some annoyance, the laces on them were completely loose.

"I said, you bastard..." Senior Spitz, who was still roaring, was dumbfounded for a while, as if he hadn't expected this to be the case at all.

Eijun's expression was unwilling, as if he didn't expect that a pitch that was out properly would put the batter on base.However, seeing Ryoma who took off his hat and nodded to him in apology, he smiled brightly.

"It's not out yet, it's not out, everyone on defense, please!"

[Oops, I'm holding Rong Chun back. 】

"This is also an unexpected situation, so don't worry about it, just keep on guard."

"Also, tie your shoelaces properly." Jun Isashiki looked back and saw Ryoma's face was stunned, and said with a displeased face, "What, what kind of expression is this?"

Liang Zhen was taken aback, and murmured, "Yeah, just now I thought senior would scold me more severely."

"What!" Senior Spitz roared, "If there is another time, I will kill you, understand?"

"Yes"

[On the big stage of the finals, there are actually three inexperienced first graders. We can take advantage of as many opportunities as we want. 】

Supervisor Guoyou with a serious expression stared coldly at Qingdao's players.

Then Inomi's 7th bat was going to use a strike to send the runner into the base, but was assassinated by Eijun's agile defensive action on the second base. Although he almost collided with Masuko-senpai, he really got a number of outs But fortunately.

The eighth bat hit a ground ball, double play on first and second base, and three outs exchanged. It seemed that even his teammates didn't expect that Eijun's guy took care of three hitters so quickly, and he was extraordinarily calm when there were people on the base.

【This sense of stability...】

"In the first half of the ninth inning, Seidou attacked, and the seventh bat was caught by Miyuki."

The players who had been struck out by Cheng Gongming in the first few innings seemed to have changed, and the second ball was hit out and flew along the right field boundary.

With no outs, the runners entered the scoring circle at second base.

【This guy seems to be aiming at Narimiya Naruto's straight ball... There is no one on the base...】

"Eighth Bat, Pitcher Sawamura"

"Hahaha, Miyuki-senpai, I will definitely send you back to home plate, hahaha" Touei put on his helmet and went on the field. At this time, Kataoka in the rest area gave him a signal.

【What, touch】

With a gloomy face, Sakae obediently complied, and with a perfectly rolling strike along the first base line, Miyuki reached third base.

[Why, don't let me swing the bat vigorously, ah! ! ! 】

With one out, there was a runner on third base, followed by the ninth, White State.

Miyuki was already at third base ready to start, and Hakushu, who was standing on the strike zone, looked towards the rest area.

Inoshi's infield is on the defensive front, and defense is based on the tactics of grabbing points.

Narimiya Naruto on the mound took a deep breath, and flashed many images in his mind, including the explosive pitch at Koshien last summer, the collapse of his pitching posture since then, and so on.

[Just one goal, just one goal, I let the summer of the seniors end early.How could we lose, there is still a debt to be settled in Jiaziyuan! 】

With a wave of his arm, he threw the small ball in his hand. Before the ball hit the bat, Miyuki on third base and Narimiya Naruto on the mound started running at the same time.

The white ball rebounded under the force, rolled towards the pitcher's mound, and bounced into Narimiya Ming's glove.

[Hold the ball with your left hand and then throw it, it will definitely be too late]

Narimiya raised his right hand calmly, and used the glove to throw the white ball directly into Harada's catcher's glove at the home plate. There is no way.

"Out---"

[Runners on third base can't score a single point. That guy Cheng Gongming is really good. 】

The supervisor gave a signal to Senior Hakushu who went to first base with two outs.

Harada caught a glimpse of Hakushu who was some distance away from first base, his expression darkened, and he signaled to Narimiya.

Like a white light, the white ball shot toward the first base quickly. Baizhou was startled and turned around quickly.

"Out--"

"Although Narimiya Naruto let the lead hitter Miyuki hit the base in this inning, he calmly dealt with rushing runs and stealing bases. Let us applaud the ace who pitched nine innings in such a hot summer, niceplay---"

Kuramochi standing on the strike zone, like everyone in Seido, had a dignified expression.

In the second half of the ninth inning, Daocheng Industry attacked,

"Sawamura, it's up to you to play the next game, and there's Kawakami behind you, so vote with peace of mind." Kataoka turned his head and looked around everyone, "Inomi's strength this year is stronger than last year, but today's you It has pushed that team to this level, so you go on stage with pride and confidence!"

"Yes---"

"In the final of the National Tokyo Baseball Tournament, Seidou entered the final half with a one-point lead. Sa-- will Seidou, who has not entered Koshien for five years, win, or will Inashi Seiya come back in the end?"

【As long as we suppress this round, we will win】

After the inside corner kick solved Dao Shi's lead hitter, it was Dao Shi's turn to hit the line.

"The first bat, the backbone Carl Ross"

The second ball after hitting out of bounds,

"Pong--"

The baseball was swept into the sky, flying high but also flying far.

"Left field--"

Gritting his teeth tightly, Ryoma ran towards the drop point of the baseball.

"Sato, catch me even if you die!!"

The baseball cap slipped to the ground, and the blond hair dazzled in the sun.The front of the body has reached the extreme, before the ball hits the ground, it is wrapped with gloves.But because of inertia, the body rolled forward a few times.

The umpire looked at the unharmed baseball lying in the glove and made a judgment.

"Out--"

"One more, one more, one more..."

The shouts that came from far away from the stands in the arena became more and more intense.

Everyone on Qingdao's defense began to get nervous, even Senior Spitz, who was always yelling, was exceptionally quiet, but his face was ferocious and stiff.

[Yeah, we are one more out, we will be able to get out of Koshien, although I don’t know what kind of place Koshien is, but I just want to go with this group of people now...]

"Second bat, shortstop Shirakawa"

Like the previous two hitters, he stuck to the white line of the strike zone as soon as he came up, as if to completely seal Eijun's inside corner.

[I want to invest in even more tricky places, even more tricky...]

The will of the pitcher and the batter collided, and Eijun on the mound swung his left arm.

A thrilling scene appeared, the flying white ball quickly hit Bai He's head.

"boom-"

Bai He, who was hit by the ball, fell to the ground.

At the moment when the last out can end the game, an unexpected touch ball appeared.

"deadball"

Bai He, who was smashed to the ground, quickly stood up, roaring loudly...

[Finally... let them succeed, with the danger of being hit at any time, but also going to base, this team has a terrifying belief in winning, and this belief will slowly eat away at the pitchers on the mound pitcher...】

Including fielding in the outfield, all the players gathered on the mound, and Seidou chose to timeout again.

Eijun's eyes were out of focus, and he didn't hear the words of comfort from his seniors at all, and kept saying sorry, sorry, it seemed that he had collapsed...

Miyuki shook her head towards Director Kataoka in the rest area...

[Who will the supervisor send to play at this time, Kawakami or that brat, to be honest, if he is the supervisor, it is difficult to judge, after all, that kid is only a first-year student, such an important scene, just in case...]

Miyuki looked serious.

"At this time, Qingdao High School chose to exchange pitchers, and the replacement for Sawamura was Kawakami with the number 10 on his back."

【Replacing Shirakawa's base runner is Karl Rose, who has already been out at the first bat. This guy is the runner who doesn't want him to get on base the most. Although he is already 2 out, but he is so far away from the base, there is no guarantee that he is not trying to steal a base. 】

In the case of one out, Kawakami's two strikes and no balls pitched, which slightly relieved everyone's tense nerves.

The third ball was a high lob, and the fourth ball was a low slider. Facing two sliders and three sticks, Yoshizawa didn't make a shot.

The fifth goal of the tiebreaker!

"The outside world--"

Next, Kawakami's balls continued to be thrown out of bounds, and Karl Ross on the first base continued to start.

"Four Balls--"

The entangled Yoshizawa finally hit base with four balls.

"Although he changed the pitcher once, he threw four balls in a row after two outs."

[Cut, it won't be that simple for us to win, right?Now there are people on the first and second bases, and the next hitter is Harada, the fourth batter. A long hit may bring the game back to the original point, and a home run may reverse....】

Liang Zhen frowned, feeling extremely anxious, but he couldn't do anything.

"Fourth Bat, Catcher Harada"

"Finally, Dao Shi Chengye, who was forced into a hurry, finally won a chance at the end. On the other hand, Qingdao High School is still short of the last number of eliminations. Seeing the victory is imminent, it is facing the biggest test."

"Ah Xian, come on, get rid of him!"

"Ah Senior Xian!"

"Ah Xian, get rid of him"

"Let him fight, let him fight, ah Xian, we will all defend!"

[In this case, the ones who feel the most pressure should be the pitchers on the mound and the hitters in the strike zone, ah, Senior Xian, the last out count, you have to die to get it! 】

"Pong-"

The white ball was swept out and rolled towards the second base. Haruichi Kominato barely caught the ball but had no time to pass it to the second base. Carl Rose, who was on the third base, took advantage of the momentum and ran towards the home plate.

"Pass to home plate!"

Kuramochi turned and swung his right hand, but before the ball bounced into the catcher's mitt, the runner on second base touched home plate!

"Second base runner Carl Ross ran back to home base in one breath. With two outs, Inashi added an extra point, and now there are runners on first and second bases, will it be reversed? Inaoshi"

"Pong---"

Narimiya, who played fifth, aimed at Kawakami's first ball and hit it.

[Are you kidding, two outs. 】

The ball flew to left field over Ryoma's glove.

"With the same score, Daocheng Industry finally tied the score at the last moment---"

The author has something to say:

This chapter is a little late, and I feel that it is not well written.
