Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 173 Confrontation
"Qiang!"

The baseball flew into the sky, and the fans in the right field stands had already stood up, opening their gloves to catch the baseball.

Although the baseballs in Koshien are no different from the high-end baseballs on the market, baseballs that have been through Koshien games are still very valuable for collection.

Especially the ball that flew into the audience as a home run.

Many collectors like this kind of ball. Even if an ordinary person picks it up, he can sell it for a high price even if he doesn’t collect it.

This goal came from Jun Isashiki.

After missing two consecutive forkballs, Takeda decided to change his approach and let Guan Lin throw a straight ball.

He originally wanted to catch Isajiki Jun off guard, but he didn't expect that it would be exactly what he wanted.

Takeda thought that Isashiki Jun must have thought that this ball was still a fork ball.

But unexpectedly, Isajiki Jun didn't guess at all. I will fight whatever you come up with.

Not following Takeda's idea gave him a headache.

Eventually, the baseball landed in the stands.

When the baseball fell to the ground, countless fans ran over just to see this meaningful baseball.

Isajiki Jun ignored it and ran back to home plate with Zhou Hui.

7: 2!

Although Seidou High School lost two outs in the second inning, they still scored.

Seidou High School also became the only team in this year's Koshien to score home runs in three consecutive games.

In the match against Baoming High School, Zhou Hui hit a home run. In the match against Bingcheng High School, Yu Xing hit a home run for the first time.

In the match against Yokohama Kohoku, Isashiki Jun also withstood the pressure, hit the ball out of the court, and scored a two-point shot.

Qingdao High School's batting line is so terrifying.

"Isashiki-senpai, that's a beautiful home run!"

"Home runs are not your privilege."

After high-fiving, the two returned to the lounge together.

After losing seven points in two innings, Yokohama Kohoku is ready to change pitchers.

"Guan Lin is in a bad state today, let the others get ready!"

Coach Yokohama Kohoku had just finished making arrangements when good news came from the field the next second.

Guan Lin used a high straight ball from the inside corner to pull out Zeng Zi Toru's attack, and relied on defense to get an out, thus stopping the downward trend.

At critical moments, this pitcher and catcher never disappoint.

"This score difference is not small!"

Although this round ended, the score difference was once again narrowed back to five points.

Although time seems to be on Yokohama Kohoku's side, in fact, Seidou High School still has an absolute advantage.

In the bottom of the second inning, Yokohama Kohoku's attack started with the seventh batter, and Seidou High School also made a substitution.

Fōgiya Akira left the court and Sawamura took over.

"Aim for the inside corner. There is no particularly good solution for the outside corner. Don't shoot rashly."

Yokohama Kohoku's supervisor arranges tactics.

"But……"

"Nothing to worry about. If he catches the center of the ball and hits it out, it may be soft. The reason why he looks so powerful is that he can't catch the center of the ball and his release point. He hasn't developed his power yet!"

"Then can we catch the center of his ball?"

"I never thought of it that way."

Coach Yokohama Kohoku spoke very directly, but he also didn't care about their face at all.

"All you have to do is swing as hard as you can! Swing as hard as you can! Swing as hard as you can! Got it?"

Since there is no way to solve the problem from the center of the ball, it is better to let the players swing with all their strength.

His ball is so soft that as long as you have enough strength, it can fly very far without hitting the center of the ball.

The reason why previous teams couldn't do anything to him was because they didn't know how to attack him from this aspect.

In addition, when Sawamura comes on the field, he is either a reliever or a reliever, so who has the energy to swing the bat with full force?

Even if you still have the strength to swing the bat with all your strength, can you say that your full strength at that time can really hit the ball very far?

Might as well swing hard now; this is their last chance.

After Sawamura came on the court, he did some stretching and then faced Miyuki.

"His body is really soft."

Seeing Sawamura stretching so freely and with such a large range of motion, it was hard for the Yokohama Kohoku players not to notice. "Tee off!"

"Let's go to the inside corner first and see what their style of play is."

"Still starting from the inside corner?"

"Whoosh!"

Hold a shield in your right hand and a sword in your left hand!
This sentence is really appropriate when applied to Sawamura's pitching.

The baseball was like a laser beam, heading straight for the batter's chest.

This was only the second inning, but Sawamura was already pitching with all his strength, completely disregarding the distribution of his physical strength.

Seidou High School's follow-up pitching tactics now seem so obvious.

“It’s the inside corner.”

"Qiang!"

Like many teams, the players of Yokohama Kohoku attacked directly without waiting, but unlike many teams, they used all their strength.

As long as you try your best, the ending will definitely be good!

It went along the sideline and passed first base! Yuuki didn't react in time!
"Good job, you made it through!"

"The supervisor is right!"

The force point of this ball was actually wrong at all.

The batter's force is to chop.

Unless there is a strategy, this is the wrong point of attack.

But the result was good. Yuki at first base couldn't catch the ball, and the baseball rolled to right field, turning into a hit.

Single hit!
After Sawamura got the hit, the coach of Yokohama Kohoku also clenched his fists.

Many coaches had no way to deal with Sawamura before, but he cracked the problem as soon as he came on the court.

Now he thinks that he is the strongest supervisor in the world!

Of course, this is just a fantasy.

There is still a big gap between him and the top supervisors.

The eighth batter also raised his bat to face Sawamura.

"Whoosh!"

It’s still an inside corner kick!
It was always an inside corner kick and Miyuki did not change the tactics.

Sawamura will just pitch whatever he likes best.

"Qiang!"

This time, it was a hit behind center field!

Double hit!

No one is out, runners on second and third base!

Zhou Huiguang was anxious watching from left field.

If a baseball came toward him, he would never let it land.

One of their tactics is to prevent the baseball from flying to left field.

If the baseball flew to left field, Zhou Hui would definitely catch it.

"Qiang!"

"Put it through!"

The lounge at Yokohama Kohoku is buzzing!
With three consecutive hits, their scores also increased!

Two runners back at home plate!
Score!

7: 4!

This time, it was another hit to double base!
Sawamura was naturally in a bad mood as Yokohama Kohoku's back-end batting line kept scoring.

At the same time, Yuki seemed to have discovered something.

"No, their hitters seem to be doing something deliberate."

Thinking back on his own shot, Miyuki did feel that something was wrong.

"First batter, right fielder, Auburn."

"Could it be..."
