The original intention of the diamond ace

The offense in the eighth inning started with the nine-stick Sawamura.

Although his batting was much better, it was still quite difficult to hit Naruto's pitch well, and he was soon out of the game.

Kuramochi looked at Sawamura who came back with a calm face, glanced at the sweat on his face, and tightened his grip on the bat.

'Now it's the fourth round of batting, and I probably won't be able to bat after that. My task now is to get on base!Then run back and score and make it easy for that guy. '

He stared at Ming closely, standing tensely on the strike zone. 'Definitely hit it out! '

…………

"Bang!"

'hateful! '

He dropped his bat and sprinted to first base.

"out!"

Two out.

Although Koharu, the next bat, tried hard to follow the ball, he still couldn't hit Naka Naru's changeup and finally struck out.

"Three outs! Swap offense and defense!"

It's the ninth inning, and although the end of the game is getting closer, it's getting farther and farther away from that point.Although everyone has not given up fighting, they also understand that it is very difficult to win this game.

Sawamura's pitching in the ninth inning was still very tenacious, and eventually passed without a loss.

After Sawamura-senpai came back from the mound, he sat on the chair behind him, picked up a towel and began to wipe his sweat.

I looked at Sawamura-senpai's drenched front and Furutani-senpai's pale mouth, and gritted my teeth.

What, what can I do now, I thought anxiously.

Turning his head, he looked at Hakushu and Miyuki-senpai who were about to strike.

Please, senior.

Be sure to make one!We're all here, just one last step away!

Senior Hakushu hit hard, and the ball quickly flew to the center field, there is a chance!

I stared at the ball tightly, and an unexpected figure jumped suddenly.

"Crack!" Karl Ross raised the glove high, with the ball in the middle.

"Out!" The high-pitched verdict of the referee made Senior Hakushu stop.

"One out!" Carlos shouted happily to the mound after getting up from the ground.

People around responded to his words, "One out!"

"Last two out! Hold on!"

"Let them call over!"

At this time, Miyuki walked up to the strike zone calmly and stared at the pitcher coldly.

"start!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"It seems that in the end, the shooting and arresting are very cautious!"

"It's only 2:1 now. If you're not careful, you might be kicked out by them. After all, the beaters in Qingdao are also very good!"

"Second ball!"

Miyuki's eyes narrowed suddenly, 'Changeball! '

He swung his stick vigorously, "Pong!"

"Hit! After the second half of the ninth inning, a runner appeared on the first base. Will there be a turning point in the game?"

Miyuki stood on the base bag and began to take off his protective gear. He looked at Naruto on the mound, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

'You've been so kind to show me so many times, it's going to suck if I don't hit. '

Then I looked at home plate, 'you must send me back! '

The former garden-senpai left the preparation area and went to the hitting area to try to swing.

Tojo-senpai gritted his teeth and went up with the bat.

I looked at Senior Tojo, who was visibly nervous, and frowned, Senior, are you okay......

At this time, "out!"

Maezono-senpai hit the outfield soaring, and Miyuki-senpai took the opportunity to go to second base.

Now it's second base manned, two outs, one out from the end of the game.

"Alas—Qing Dao is powerless now."

"It's too early for you to say that! A baseball game starts with two outs in the bottom half of the ninth inning. Maybe there will be a turning point later?"

"But next is the next hitter. The six bats haven't hit a single hit yet, and the result has come out."

I walked up to Supervisor Kataoka, "Supervisor, let me hit the next blow."

His sunglasses flashed, and I looked at him firmly.

At this time, everyone in the bench area looked at me in surprise.

Yuuki from behind stared at me closely.

"it is good!"

He walked up the steps and raised his hand to signal, "Change to fight! Oda."

"Oh! At this time, Qingdao chose to replace him with the first-year Kazuo Oda. This player performed very well in the previous competitions, but on such an important occasion, whether he can adjust his mentality as a first-year That's the point."

"One long hit, you can enter the overtime, one strikeout, you will end the game, it is really an eye-catching stand!"

People in the stands were also talking about it.

I put on the protective gear, picked up the bat, and passed by the supervisor.

"I leave it to you!" He looked ahead and said calmly.

I paused for a moment without looking back, and continued to walk towards the court, "Yeah."

Everyone looked at my back, Yuuki kept staring at my figure, thinking about something.

Senior Tojo came back, pursed his lips tightly, and when he came in front of me, he said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I left this situation to you."

I grinned and gave him a big smile.

"Senior! I don't plan to get knocked down in despair later!"

Without waiting for his answer, I walked straight to the strike zone and started to prepare.

I stood just outside the strike zone, put down my bat, and tightened my glove.

I know I still have a lot of shortcomings, but it's pointless to worry about this kind of thing now. All I can do now is to hit the ball hard in front of me!

Walked up to the strike zone and swung the bat with one hand.

Narimiya-senpai, your pitching is very good, but I am not totally out of luck, as long as I grasp the chance that may only be one time......

He stood still and looked at the pitcher lightly.

"start!"

"First goal!"

The catcher at home plate makes a quick call.

Ming nodded slightly.He looked at the calm hitter at the home plate, "Grade 100, I admit that you are really good, but you are [-] years too early to hit my ball!" 'Looked back at the runner, gritted his teeth, and threw the ball hard.

The ball came almost at my body, made a deft turn near home plate, and landed right in the catcher's open glove.

I looked forward almost indifferently, and didn't even look at the ball that flew in by me.

"Bad ball!"

I swung my bat on the spot, set up and stood still, still looking at the pitcher with no expression.

'No swing at all.Are you waiting for some ball or have you seen it clearly? Tadano gritted his lips behind home plate thinking.

' Don't worry about what he thinks, as long as he strikes out in the end, he doesn't care. Ming stood proudly on the mound, looking up at him slightly.

'yes!Ming sang!Then throw the next ball here. '

"Second ball!"

Take a quick step forward, stop just as the arm is about to swing, and watch it fly into home plate.

"Crack!" "Bad ball!"

'cut!Don't you swing the bat? Mingsang's ball was stuck on the sideline, so he couldn't trick him into hitting the bat. '

"At the last batting stand that attracted attention, the pitcher threw two bad balls first, but the batter was calm and didn't hit a bat!" Sato excitedly explained the current direction of the game.

"Now there are no strikes and two strikes!"

"There are already two bad balls. Facing this first-year substitute hitter, Dao Shi is also very careful with his shots."

"That first grader was also very calm, and he wasn't tricked out of the stick."

"Maybe I was stunned, after all, I was under the pressure of winning or losing the team in the first grade, this game is very uncomfortable—"

Matsuo in the stands looked at the batter with bright eyes.

"Oh!! This person is so handsome! He appeared in such a life-and-death situation, and then faced danger without fear, trying to change the direction of the game on his own. Hmm--I want to try such a handsome scene!"

At this time, in the arena.

I let go of the bat, swung the bat with one hand, and stood still. "Huh—" let out a soft breath, and stood still.

"Third goal!"

Naruto on the mound frowned, "Didn't you hit a bat?"There is no need to try again, it will be against us if we procrastinate like this. Tadano understood Naruto's thoughts and gave the signal.

Naruto nodded expressionlessly, and glanced at Miyuki on second base.Straighten your body, step forward and wave your arms.

Low inner corners!I swung decisively, aimed at the ball, and scooped it up hard.

"Pong!"

Yuki on the bench looked at my blow, and his eyes lit up.

At this moment, the two runners on the base line sprinted forward, and Daoshi's outfielder also sprinted back.

"Hit!! This ball is very high!"

I was running along the line of bases, watching the flight of the ball.

After watching for a while, I swung my arm vigorously, and the speed slowed down.

The outfielder paused against the rail, lowered his hat, and stopped watching the ball.

"Get out! Two home runs!!"

"One hit from a first-year pitcher, game over!"

Everyone in the Qingdao stand and bench area jumped up!Many people in the auditorium also started to cheer.

"The final of the summer qualifiers is over, the score is 2:3. Qingdao won the ticket to Koshien again!"

Yuuki has been staring at Oda as he ran slowly, and he has remembered this blow in his heart ever since. No one knows what changes this will bring to him...

The sound of horns, cheers, the voice of the commentator, crying, the discussion on the field... The chaotic sounds made me dizzy, and I looked at the pale face of the opponent who was still standing on the field. And in front of the rest area, laughing and shouting, the team members rushed up excitedly.

Suddenly my nose was sore, I didn't know what happened, and tears fell down.

I was embarrassed and wanted to wipe it off, but my teammates rushed up.

Kuramochi strangled my neck fiercely, and said happily: "Why are you crying when you hit such a big home run, I didn't even hit a single hit. No wonder you are so happy this morning, shouldn't it be early I just want to make this limelight!"

My face was flushed, "No, it's just that I haven't been this happy for a long time...Senior, let's go to Jiashiyuan together."

"Hahaha! The sweetness was taken away by you, you bastard!"

"Good job! Oda!!"

…………

All gathered together to happily celebrate this hard-won victory.
