Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 151 Reluctant to give in to each other
"Qiang!"

Miyuki in the batter's box hit the ball out, but he hit it very straight, making it very comfortable for the second baseman to catch it and he put it directly into his glove.

"Out!"

"Out!"

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

The referee raised his right hand and announced the end of the round.

Three kills!

On the baseball field, a triple play requires the right time, place and people, all of which are essential.

But this time, Bingcheng High School did it!
It caught Qingdao High School off guard.

When the baseball flew into the second baseman's glove, he first passed it to third base and eliminated Jun Isashiki.

Then the third baseman threw back to second base, assisting the second baseman to hit Toru Masuko.

At the critical moment, the baseball was passed to first base, eliminating Miyuki who was very close to first base.

This cooperation is truly seamless and rare.

You can't make any mistake in these three steps.

Bingcheng High School has a very clear mindset.

They chose to get rid of Jun Isashiki first because his speed and chance of getting on base were the best among the three.

If we divide it by distance, it is definitely Masuko Toru who can solve the problem best.

But with Masuko Toru's speed, if he came over to tag out, Isashiki Jun at third base would definitely be too late.

So they chose to get rid of Isajiki Jun first, and then turn around to deal with Masuko Toru. It would not be too late at this time.

Finally, I chose Yuki.

Miyuki was running from home base to first base, the farthest distance among the three.

The other two runners can move closer to the next base when running bases.

Only Yukichi cannot.

Therefore, it was their tactic to finally get rid of Miyuki.

It's not really a solution, it's just a last try.

It would be best if they can be eliminated, but it doesn’t matter if they cannot be eliminated.

A guaranteed double kill is also very profitable for them.

But getting a triple kill was really a pleasant surprise for them.

Bingcheng High School took the attitude of giving it a try, but unexpectedly it really met their expectations.

Although Qingdao High School recovered one point in this game thanks to the performance of the "Big Three" Zhou Hui, Isashiki Jun, and Masuko Toru.

But Miyuki's final performance was really disappointing.

Several infielders seemed to take care of the runners without moving.

This left Toru Masuko and Jun Isashiki speechless.

All the efforts for so long were wasted by a single swing of the bat by Miyuki.

"What on earth did you do that last time?"

Isashiki Jun was going crazy and yelled at Miyuki.

They were aiming to overtake in this round, but Yukichi gave the opponent a triple kill, which made them very angry.

If it weren't for this triple kill, maybe they would have really scored.

Yukichi scratched his head, still smiling playfully.

"whee."

"What are you talking about? Someone on the bases is guessing the ball and you guessed it wrong?"

"Stop it, stop it."

Director Kataoka quickly spoke up to prevent the argument from escalating.

Although he knew that Isashiki Jun and Miyuki were just joking, he was afraid that they would get angry.

Yukichi is fine.

I have a heartless personality and will never get anxious.

But Jun Isajiki is different.

He has a bad temper and is a bit of a ruffian.

Let him get angry with anyone.

"It doesn't matter in this inning. At least we scored, which is a good thing and a good sign that proves we can beat Allen. By tying the score, we are on the same starting line again. We just need to keep working hard and treat this game as the first inning now."

"Yes!"

The students all nodded seriously. Just treat the game as the first round, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Go check on Danbo to see if he's warmed up. He should be put in the fourth inning."

Director Kataoka waved his hand and assigned the task to Minister Ohta.

Xiao Jōgōu didn't say much either, he was used to it.

Anyway, after Tamba retires, he will become the new ace pitcher of Seidou High School.

By that time, his playing time should increase infinitely!

"During this period, Furuya's playing time has increased."

"That's right. Compared to the summer competition, it's much stronger."

"I really don't know why Coach Kataoka didn't keep such a strong pitcher on the field and chose to keep changing pitchers."

"Who knows? Anyway, among all the pitchers at Seidou High School, he is the most entertaining one."

These spectators watch the game for the effect and the entertainment value.

And Akatsuki Jōgō could satisfy their appetite.

Furiya Akira's pitching is very entertaining to watch. Compared with Sawamura and Tamba, Furiya Akira is the most entertaining pitcher in Seidou High School.

In the top of the third inning, it was the eighth batter from Ice City High School's turn to bat.

The eighth batter for Ice City High School is their team's catcher.

After entering the batter's box, he looked relaxed, but in fact he was very afraid of Kouya Akira's strength.

Without further ado, Akihiro Kouya raised his hand and threw the ball.

"boom!"

Akihiro Jōgani's posture was like he was "carrying a cannon", and the powerful wrist strength pushed the baseball out.

"Snapped!"

With a deafening sound, the baseball went into the bag, and it was a good ball.

"nice shot!"

Supervisor Kitamura stood in the lounge with his hands in his pockets, and he was not in a hurry.

He did not demand much from these players and did not expect them to get hits or score against Akira Fōgaya.

These were things he dared not think about.

To deal with Fōgiya Xiao, the tactic coach Kitamura gave them was to swing the bat aggressively and hit any pitch.

Maybe they could catch one by chance, which would boost their self-confidence.

If I'm luckier, I might actually get a hit.

But the probability of that is pitifully small.

Apart from Allen and Michael, if anyone from Ice City High School can get a hit from Akira Fōgiya, then he or she might as well buy a lottery ticket and try his luck.

Maybe you'll win the jackpot directly.

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

Coach Kitamura was not in a hurry at all and just looked at the electronic scoreboard silently.

Qingdao High School will soon change its pitcher...

The game continues.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

Not surprisingly, this should have been the outcome of the match between Bingcheng High School and Fūya Akatsuki.

They had no way to deal with Kouya Akira at all. Kouya Akira struck out three batters in a row, so it was normal for him to go up and down three times.

The bottom of the second inning and the top of the third inning were purely performance time for the pitchers on both sides.

Neither of them gave in.

Whether it was Akira Fōgani or Allen, they both displayed amazing strength.

Allen used pitching to get a triple kill, and Xiao Jiangu killed three people in a row.

These two wonderful moments would be shocking no matter what the competition situation is, let alone when they appear at the same time!
There will be something exciting to watch in the second round of Koshien!
