Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 124 The decisive moment has come
This home run is enough to change the situation.

It can already be called a goodbye home run!

Although Daocheng Industry still had a chance to attack in the next inning, they were naturally under great pressure because Zhou Hui hit a home run at this point in time.

In the next at-bat, as long as no one gets on base in the first two at-bats, they can be sure to go home.

Even if the pitcher of Seidou High School is Sawamura, they are still very worried.

Not everyone is like Qingdao High School, who can withstand the pressure and seize the opportunity.

No one dares to deny Zhou Hui and Yuki's ability in key shots.

Even though Zhou Hui has never played in a "game against the wind", he can still overcome the unfamiliar environment and stand out at critical moments.

This is the best hitter at Qingdao High School and even in the whole country, Zhou Hui!

3: 2.

This score difference has made Cheng Gongming feel desperate.

Koshien is so close, but suddenly it seems so far away.

The dream of defending the title also vanished at this moment.

"A Ming, the game isn't over yet, cheer up!"

Even though Harada said this, there was still a sense of deadness on the pitcher's mound.

In Cheng Gongming's opinion, the game was over.

The proud prince also lowered his noble head at this time.

But Cheng Gongming was just feeling depressed; his pitching skills did not decrease at all.

After the home run was hit, he even hit three ups and three downs against the next three batters, ending the inning.

"In the top of the ninth inning, Qingdao High School's Zhou Hui hit a two-run home run to help Qingdao High School overtake the score! This home run was not only Zhou Hui's second home run in his high school career, but also the ultimate winner of the game!"

Supervisor Kunitomo looked embarrassed.

A home run disrupted all his plans.

He originally wanted to wait for the players to come back and talk about going to Koshien, but he didn't expect that they were getting further and further away from Koshien.

Cheng Gongming's changeup was too light, Zhou Hui only needed to touch the edge to swing it out, not to mention that he hit the center of the ball.

It would be unacceptable if we don’t fly out.

Cheng Gongming never thought that Zhou Hui could pull the ball back.

His swinging posture is clearly in such a mess.

"It's the ninth inning. We're going to Koshien. Sawamura, I'll leave the last inning to you. Is that ok?"

In the last inning, coach Kataoka still believed in Sawamura.

"Coach Kataoka is really taking a risk. This is already the last inning, and Sawamura-san must have very little energy left. To be on the safe side, I think I should go find Kawakami-san. He should be warmed up by now."

Minister Ota still doesn't quite believe Sawamura.

The impression Sawamura left on him has never been good.

"I'm asking Sawamura, Director Ota, can you please shut up first?"

"Of course I have no problem. Let alone the ninth inning, I will have no problem even in overtime!"

Sawamura vowed.

"Very good, so the lineup remains the same, the fielders remain highly focused, and we will win the last inning directly."

"Yes!"

"In the bottom of the ninth inning, Daocheng Industrial is on offense, the second batter is the shortstop, and it's Shirakawa-san."

The ninth inning, another exciting batting line!
Shirakawa, Yoshizawa, and Harada.

Harada had just hit a home run in his last at-bat.

The threat to Sawamura is the greatest.

But as long as Sawamura can deal with the first two batters and face Harada with two outs, the pressure will definitely be much less.

But these two batters are not easy to beat.

There is still some distance to enter Koshien.

It seems that there is only the last round, but the pressure behind it is infinitely huge.

"Come on, we'll be in Koshien after this inning, so let's hit him a straight inside ball."

Takashima Rei in the lounge looked nervous.

He has never been very optimistic about Sawamura's ability to play key balls.

The more crucial the game is, the greater the test it will be on his condition.

It may be very normal to lose your usual level.

Takashima Rei was very clear about one point.

He noticed this place when he first met Sawamura. If it weren't for his emotional fluctuations, Sawamura might not have thrown that "wild pitch" that was enough to ruin the game.

I wonder if he has changed this habit after coming to Qingdao High School.

Although Sawamura had rushed into battle in times of crisis several times before, none of them were as extreme as this time.

This time it will decide whether Seidou High School can enter Koshien.

Different from the others.

"Whoosh!"

Miyuki didn't dare to act rashly, and he only played the types of balls that Sawamura was familiar with.

When pitching, Sawamura's eyes seemed to be focused and he exuded the aura of someone who didn't want to lose.

“So powerful.”

Seeing the baseball at hand, Shirakawa felt that the difficulty of this ball was self-evident.

"Qiang!"

The metal bat swung and rubbed against the baseball, making an extremely harsh sound.

"It's still too late."

Baihe dropped the bat and ran. Even though he knew the final result of this ball, he still wanted to give it a try.

In other words, he no longer wanted to face Sawamura's next ball.

Sawamura's inside corner kick is extremely sharp.

Too scary!

"Out!"

Yuki at first base caught the baseball without moving and scored on first base.

That's why Yuuki hits so well.

Make a big thing small.

Don't move too much to receive the ball and waste your energy, so that you can face the next game with plenty of energy.

One out!

The increase in the number of eliminations also means that Seidou High School is getting closer and closer to Koshien.

The lounge was filled with excitement.

Sawamura's performance today is enough to make him a god!

Chun Shi was even more envious.

He had no record of playing in the summer tournament, but he entered Koshien in a daze.

To be honest, it's really a bit unacceptable.

Especially since he was the only one who didn't play in the entire first grade.

"Third batter, third baseman, Yoshizawa-san."

"Remember the feel of that inside corner shot just now, and take another one."

"Whoosh!"

Maybe it was the pride of entering Koshien, or maybe it was the ups and downs of his form. All in all, this goal was a bit "sweet" in Miyuki's eyes.

"Qiang!"

As expected, seeing such an easy-to-hit pitch, Yoshizawa swung directly.

Sawamura's movements were not open at all, and it was not a colorful changeup ball at all.

This ball was definitely the best opportunity for Yoshizawa to hit a hit.

If we don’t fight now, when will we fight?

However, Zhou Hui in the left outfield has been ready to go. He is the last barrier of Qingdao High School.

After jogging forward a few steps, determine the landing point and reach out your hand directly.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Two out!
Daocheng Industry still has not managed to tighten its accounts.

I have to say that Zhou Hui’s ability to predict where a baseball will land is really good.

"Fourth batter, catcher, Harada-san."

When they heard Harada's name, both Miyuki and Sawamura's eyes immediately became sharp.

They knew that the final decisive moment was coming!
