King's Green Road

Chapter 237 Part236 Won the Competition
[Qingdao High School applied for player replacement, the eighth bat, pitcher, Chuan went off and off, Kominato Haruichi went on the pitch! 】

"Little brother, come on!"

"On the spring market!"

"come on--"

Haruichi Kominato took a look at his brother before taking the bat to the field.

Finding that he was just as usual, looking forward with a smile, Kominato Haruichi subconsciously clenched the bat in his hand. I am very happy that my brother and you are standing in Koshien Stadium, so I hope this time can continue, and it must not end here .

After staring blankly at Ryosuke Kominato, he turned his head and strode towards the court without hesitation.

"It seems that Ryosuke, your brother is very aggressive this time... Why didn't you cheer for him just now?! I think he really wants to get encouragement from you."

Chris walked up to Kominato Ryosuke and said softly.

"No need, the younger brother who has been following me should also learn to grow up, otherwise he will keep learning from me and lose his own characteristics, and sooner or later he will stumble, and what I have to do is to curb this habit. "

Kominato Ryosuke didn't put on a smile for the first time, but looked at the figure similar to himself on the strike zone with deep eyes, and said calmly.

"I can't stay with him for long, he still has a long way to go in high school baseball!"

"Really……"

Chris smiled, Chunshi is lucky to have such an excellent brother.

……

"Please advise!"

The referee took a look at Haruichi Kominato, who played on behalf of Qingdao, and found that he was a very well-behaved and introverted child, very distinctive, and people could remember it at a glance.

"Start pitching!"

After taking a look, the referee focused his attention on the duel of this game, and then announced that the game had officially begun.

Jiang Yuan at home plate narrowed his eyes and glanced at the hitter.

According to the previous observation of the game video of Seidou High School, it is easy to find that this hitter's skills are comparable to that of the second-best Kominato Ryosuke, but he is holding a wooden bat.

If you can't catch the center of the ball, you can't hit far. Once you catch the center of the ball, you will definitely be bombarded very far.

Looking at the batter's record, you can basically understand it thoroughly.

Regarding Haneda-senpai's pitch, although the substitute hitter watched the whole game, he didn't play in person to hit. After all, he couldn't get a firm grip on the same bench, and with the wooden stick, that's why they chose this tactic.

I don't know why I feel a little uneasy when I look at the agent who is just as I guessed. I just hope that their choice is correct and not a stupid act, alas~.

Regardless of winning or losing, this game made me realize that I still have many shortcomings in controlling the overall situation and striking as a catcher. I need to go further, otherwise I won’t be forced to this step, but next time he will become more perfect of.

Haneda-senpai, this hitter has good hitting skills and the ability to catch the center of the ball and hit long shots, so in order to be able to win him smoothly, he must pay special attention to ball control.

Immediately, Jiang Yuan's right hand slid slightly a few times.

First pitch to the low post corner to test his breadth and reflexes.

Haneda nodded solemnly.

Then he turned his attention to the pink and thin figure on the strike zone. To be honest, he didn't look like he was hitting hard at all, but it gave people a very suppressed feeling.

After all, he entered the Qingdao First Army in the first grade, and he was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by his own supervisor in this situation. It is definitely impossible to be weak, and his own catcher and supervisor affirmed his strike ability, so even he cannot underestimate him.

Choosing to get the third out from him is just because he is playing for the first time and is not familiar with his game.

"call out"

Although there were many thoughts in my mind, it only took a short second or two to think about these things.

So after thinking about it, he threw the ball towards the home plate within the specified time, shining with a sharp light.

No matter the angle and sharpness of this ball, it can be clearly captured by the naked eye.

Facing the first ball, Haruichi Kominato swung his bat rather unceremoniously.

"clatter"

The unique sound of the wooden bat hitting the baseball sounded at this moment.

Although he won this ball with his excellent ball selection ability and striking skills, it is a pity that if it is a metal bat, it can definitely be hit very far, and it is very possible to fly into the bounds, but Kominato Haruichi uses a A wooden stick, if it doesn't hit the center of the ball, is useless.

"Crash-"

In the end, the white ball rubbed against the wooden bat and flew towards the back of the home plate, without even taking it in front of it, and finally hit the protective net.

Then he fell powerlessly to the ground.

"Fouls!"

"Ah, I can't even beat the front!"

"The first-year players actually use wooden bats, is that okay?!"

"It's really frightening to watch. I don't know why there is always a feeling that Mingde Yishu will completely suppress this beater."

"Not to mention, I'm also worried."

Many spectators in the stands watched this strike duel, and they were not very optimistic about Xiaominato Harushi, the substitute fighter entrusted by Qingdao High School.

At first glance, because of his thin body and holding a wooden bat, the audience and supporters on the Seido side were a little worried about his hitting ability.

As a result, the blow did not exceed their expectations.

Eijun on the first base stared at the pink figure on the strike zone with flickering eyes, Haruichi... With your strength, you can definitely hit it, right? !

Like when the red and white fight, it will send me back to home plate.

Come on, let the people present see your excellent strike ability!

Through this first ball, Jiang Yuan also roughly grasped the breadth and reaction speed of Chunshi.

There are also general plans and arrangements for the next match.

The second ball, a slider from the high inside corner to the low inside corner!Angles and changes must be well controlled to create a large enough space for changes.

"call out"

"clatter"

Chunshi pursed his lips slightly, and swept the ball again, but he still didn't hit it well, and this ball was even more dangerous, almost being caught by the first baseman and a quick-response out-of-bounds lunge. killed.

Fortunately, it was still a little short after all, and landed on the surface outside the bounds of first base.

"boom"

"Throw-in"

[The tacit cooperation of Mingde Yishu's shooting and catching, two consecutive balls passing through the inner and outer corners, and the high and low balls interlaced, easily chased the Xiaomina player who played on the field! 】

Could it be that he really couldn't get out? !
Chunshi was obviously full of confidence and determination before going on the field, but after hitting two goals, he suddenly had a little doubt about his own hitting.

In particular, various voices of doubt from the audience came from time to time.

"Come on, Haruichi—!"

"I believe you can do it."

At this moment, Eijun from first base shouted cheers to Haruichi in the strike zone.

This is the second one to receive exclusive support from Eijun after Hakushu.

Rong Chunjun...

Chunshi raised his eyes and glanced at the shouting voice, and the determination that wavered in his heart became firm again at this moment. The supervisor trusted himself and gave him a chance, so he could not live up to the trust of the supervisor. This is a great opportunity for their team to overtake Chance.

Eijun again in the second half, as long as they lead this round, they will win.

At this moment, Chunshi's eyes hidden under his bangs were particularly sharp and energetic.

At this moment, even Jiang Yuan on the home plate and Haneda on the mound noticed that the batter's momentum on the strike zone was even stronger. They had already noticed that the batter had been shaken by them, but they were able to regain their confidence again, tsk~
Both of them couldn't help but click their tongues.

However, their desire to solve Kominato Haruichi became stronger.

Jiang Yuan made a slight move, and the infielders on the infield defense moved forward a little bit, showing how strong their determination to get this number of outs was.

The third ball is a straight ball with a high change in the inner corner.

The angle of the hitter's chest is directly inserted, and the shot is made so that the hitter has no way to shoot.

Haneda nodded.

Immediately, he made a smooth throwing movement, and between raising his legs and swinging his arms, the ball came out.

"call out"

Looking at the incoming ball, Haruichi Kominato on the strike zone only had eyes for the ball that was galloping towards him at this moment, and his eyes covered by bangs radiated a scarlet light.

Hit the ball as it comes, and that's it!
Isn't this the belief in fighting that I insisted on before! !
At the moment when the white ball flew to the home plate, he swung his bat hard.

"clatter"

The sound of the impact this time was more crisp and solid than the previous two. This time the ball really hit the center of the ball.

"call out"

Immediately the white ball was taken and flew out.

"Right fielder—"

At this moment, Jiang Yuan's urgent voice calling for his teammates became much sharper.

It's a pity that this ball Kominato Haruichi saw the gap in the defense and hit it. The white ball passed over the head of first baseman Nawa and landed one step behind the first baseman. There was a huge Defensive neutral.

"boom"

[At the moment of the third ball against Mingde Yiju's ace, Xiao Minato, who played in place, finally showed his power at this moment, accurately caught the ball, and swept the first baseman and right fielder to the defensive gap. Scored a double in one fell swoop! 】

"Good job, little brother!"

"It's great! Spring City!"

"well played!"

"Qingdao! Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Come on, Qingdao High School!"

At this moment, Haruichi Kominato, the hero of this blow, stood stiffly on the bag of second base and raised his fist to express his excitement amidst the loud shouts of surprise.

"Don't be shy—"

"Let go, hahaha!!"

"Well done, little brother!"

At this moment, Haruichi, who was the hero of the attack, clearly displayed his blushing face on the huge display screen in Jiashiyuan.

Because of that shy little appearance, he scored a hit for the first time he played in substitute, which made the audience couldn't help but make fun of him at this moment.

And because Seidou also has an older brother Ryosuke Kominato who is the starting second baseman, the audience subconsciously chose to call Haruichi Kominato affectionately as Kominato's younger brother.

Qingdao Rest Area.

"Liangsang, little brother Minato did a good job this time!"

Kuramochi turned his head and said to Ryosuke Kominato beside him.

"It's done pretty well, but it's still a little bit worse."

Kominato Ryosuke first affirmed the blow to Kominato Haruichi just now, but then he was inexplicably emotional.

Although Kuramochi usually looks careless, his thoughts are actually extraordinarily delicate.

He probably understood the meaning of Kominato Ryosuke's words, but Kuramochi didn't continue the conversation, after all, Ryosuke just sighed.

He just needs to understand what it means.

Some things don't need to be said too clearly.

……

At this moment, Jiang Yuan at the home plate on the field looked particularly ugly. Looking at the pink figure on second base, he knew that he had miscalculated. At this moment, the outcome of the game can be said to be completely determined by Qingdao High established.

[Xiao Minato, who was playing in place, hit a double, scored two RBIs in one fell swoop, and got two outs, and is about to usher in the ninth bat, right fielder, Hakushu! 】

[At this moment, there are still runners on the second and third bases. Can the Mingde Yishu team recover after losing two points? !Please wait and see! 】

"Start pitching!"

Although Jiang Yuan, who was squatting on the home plate again, knew that the situation was over, but he had never lost the arrogance he should have as a powerful family, so even if he had predicted the result of the game, they would never give up.

Haneda-senpai, although the big thing has been decided, but we don't expect anything to be possible until the end of the last sentence, so let's do our best to take down the last hitter!

Jiang Yuan stared fixedly at Yuichiro Haneda on the mound.

Let's throw the first ball to this position!
Looking at the position of Jiang Yuan's gloves, Haneda nodded. Today's game is definitely the most frustrating game he has ever compared, but Haneda is definitely first-class in terms of mental adjustment, even if he was thrown out like this for a while. After losing two points, he lost his mind for a moment before returning to his normal expression.

He squeezed the non-slip powder bag, and then threw it near his feet.

Taking a deep breath, he immediately made a throwing motion like a cloud and flowing water.

"call out"

The next moment, a white light magnified little by little from the position on the pitcher's mound, galloping towards the home plate, with an incomparably sharp aura.

"Swish"

Baizhou, who was on the strike zone, stared at him, and then swung his stick.

"Snapped"

"1 strike"

What a sharp forward, I didn't expect that after such a fatal blow just now, he can recover so quickly, and his pitching level is not lower than usual.

Qingdao Rest Area.

"Danba, you have seen the performance of Mingde Yiju's ace, I only hope that you can continue to throw the ball calmly when you are in adversity, instead of completely panicking, understand?"

Director Kataoka stared at the court in front of him, and said calmly to Tanba who was watching the game beside him.

Danbo glanced at his supervisor in astonishment, and then replied loudly:
"I understand, Supervisor!"

Looking at the ace in adversity on the court at the moment, the light in Danbo's eyes was particularly shining. Compared with the opponent's ace, his performance in this game today was particularly unsatisfactory.

He still has a lot to learn.

……

"Snapped"

"out"

After finding the right opportunity, the ninth batman Baizhou still picked a good ball and successfully reached the first base, but he failed to score.

With the bases loaded again, he faced Kuramochi who was the first bat.

After entangled with two balls, a lob won Kuramochi and did not lose any more points.

[A lob from the inside corner, the first hit Kuramochi hit a high fly, and was caught and killed by the left fielder of Mingde Yijuku.So far, the number of three outs in the first half of the ten innings has been obtained, and the game of this inning has ended. 】

[The current score is 5:7]

"Qingdao! Qingdao!"

"Come on! Qingdao!"

"Come on! Hit it, Mingde Private School!"

"Let's make a comeback! Mingde Private School!"

The cheerleaders and supporters of both sides are at the top of their voices at this time.

Especially the Mingde Yishu side who fell behind by two points in the first half of the tenth inning.

【…】

At this time, just as Qingdao High School was about to go on defense, the announcement sounded again to change the pitcher.

[Seidou High School replacement player, No. 7 left fielder, Sawamura player turned pitcher, seventh bat, pitcher, Sawamura!

Sakai player No. 13 enters the field, eighth bat, left fielder, Sakai! ! 】

"Come on, three outs, I think it shouldn't be difficult for you to win, right? Sawamura!" Miyuki said while standing on the mound and looking at Eijun with raised eyebrows.

"As long as you, Senior Yuxing, have no problem with the ball, then I must have no problem with pitching. Isn't this too much to ask!" Rong Dangdang was always online.

Miyuki: "..."

Seems like an extravagant wish for a caring and warm primary school boy.

"Okay, then let's make a quick decision. After all, we have been competing for so long. Wouldn't it be better for everyone to rest earlier? Haha——"

Miyuki then changed the subject.

"no problem!"

In this respect, Eijun and Miyuki can be said to be very compatible, and they both like to be angry to death, so they understand the deep meaning of this sentence, and the corners of their mouths slightly hooked.

[Seventh bat, left fielder, Southfield! 】

"Start pitching!"

For the Carter ball in the inner corner of the first ball, the angle change must be sharp enough.

Miyuki moved his right hand slightly, and unceremoniously asked for a change ball that was not very friendly to right-handed hitters on the first ball.

Eijun looked at the batterer indifferently, and nodded.

"call out"

"Snapped"

"1 strike"

At this moment, Nanye on the strike zone couldn't help thinking secretly: the arc of change was not big, but it was so fast, he didn't keep up at all, and it was a bit difficult to adapt.

"Chong"

With the light straight ball from the outer corner of the second ball, Nanye caught the opportunity to strike. Unfortunately, this ball was deliberately thrown for him by Miyuki, so the ending was predictable.

"Snapped"

"Yah ha"

Cang Chi jumped forward with a bend, and the straightened ball sleeve directly caught the ball.

"Out!"

So far, the first number of outs in the second half of the ten innings has been successfully obtained.

The next eighth and ninth bats of Mingde Yishu were easily won, and the eighth bat was struck out, and then the ninth bat was hit by an infield grounder, and the first base blocked him.

"out"

"competition is over!!!"

So far, three outs have been obtained, and the game has come to an end at this moment.

Qingdao High School won the place to advance to the quarterfinals with a score of 5:7.
