Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 184 Fatal Mistake!

The game is not over yet. Although Yokohama Kohoku is still four points behind, seeing Sawamura's condition, they undoubtedly see an opportunity to win.

Their last chance to attack came in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Unless they can get four points in this inning, they won't even have the chance to play extra innings with Seidou High School.

After working so hard for so long, the result of reaching the quarterfinals in Koshien is not enough to satisfy them.

At least we have to beat Seidou High School.

Seidou High School is a rare guest in Koshien, and the three of them cannot be said to be the undefeated generals in Koshien, but they have a place in the last few years.

They were unwilling to lose to Qingdao High School.

What's more, Sawamura has reached this point. If Seidou High School does not consider making substitutions, they will definitely have the possibility of winning the game in one fell swoop.

In the top of the ninth inning, Qingdao High School did not play well and just went for the shot.

They didn't want to waste their energy in a game where they had a sure win.

In the entire top of the ninth inning, only Chun Shi had one hit.

There's no way, this kid wants to prove himself too much.

This was his first appearance in Koshien and most likely his last.

In order to have more opportunities, he must seize them.

Although it is difficult for Ryosuke to make a comeback in the semi-finals, Seidou High School has more than just this one second baseman.

There are many people who can replace Chunshi.

What's more, there is Zhou Hui, an all-round player.

In the next game, Qingdao High School is likely to line up a starting lineup with Itai as the left outfielder and Zhou Hui as the second baseman.

Haruichi's position in Qingdao High School is precarious.

"Hengxue! Hengxue! Hengxue!"

Another name of Yokohama Kohoku, or it can be said to be the abbreviation of Yokohama Kohoku, is Yokogaku.

"Look guys, the fans in the stands are cheering us on. If we lose this game, you won't be the only ones who will be disappointed!"

"We won't lose!"

"That's right, we won't let people down!"

"Let last year's regrets stay in last year!"

Everyone also saw the hope of winning, and they raised their heads, full of high spirits.

"Yes, that's it! Win the next game! Beat him! At least we can enter the extra innings!"

"As ordered!"

"Hengxue!"

"Must win!"

"Hengxue!"

"Must win!"

"Don't be intimidated by their momentum. We have everything they have. Just pitch at your own pace."

Although Sawamura was very tired, he still nodded and rolled his eyes at Miyuki.

"What do you mean by my rhythm? When was the ball I threw that wasn't matched by you?"

Sawamura has always believed in Miyuki's secret code and almost never shook his head.

Seeing him sweating profusely, Yukichi was also afraid that he wouldn't be able to make it through this round.

"Bottom of the ninth inning, Yokohama Kohoku is on offense, second batter, pitcher, Takagi-san."

The fans of Yokohama Kohoku were also nervous and stood up one after another from the audience seats.

At critical moments, their cheers may well become the X-factor of the game.

"Takagi probably doesn't have much hitting ability. So just use the outside corner low straight ball."

Miyuki gave a secret signal.

"Whoosh!"

Sawamura's pitching posture shocked the audience again.

This is a rare pitcher with such a soft body.

Although a flexible body is an advantage for a pitcher, many times the pitcher is judged by his body flexibility.

But there is only one person who can do what Sawamura does.

"So late?"

Seeing the baseball flying towards him slowly, Takagi was full of questions.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Swing, as long as you hit the ball it will definitely fly out! Takagi, swing!" "I want to swing, but seeing his speed, I don't have the courage to swing at all!"

Gao Mu wiped the sweat off his forehead and muttered.

"The second ball, a high straight ball from the inside corner."

"Whoosh!"

“I still can’t see where the ball will go!”

After seeing the flash of white light, Takagi was at a loss as to what to do.

It was also the first time he faced Sawamura's inside corner.

When facing him before, Sawamura used either the outside corner ball or the changeup.

"Appeared!"

As the baseball got closer, its original shape gradually emerged.

“It doesn’t look as sharp anymore.”

Arima, squatting in the batting cage, pinched his chin.

The further the game progresses, the more obvious Sawamura's physical exhaustion becomes, and Kyujiraiya becomes less sharp.

"Qiang!"

Sure enough, this time, even though he didn't see the ball's release point in advance, Takagi still felt a sense of smoothness when hitting it.

The shot was very accurate, hitting the center of the ball!
In addition, Takagi is very strong, so the baseball naturally flew to right field.

Haruichi, who was in charge of defending right field, watched the baseball fly towards him.

Thanks to his foresight, Chun Shi had already positioned the baseball in advance, so that he could easily catch it with just one hand.

But imagination is rich, but reality is not so good.

However, due to the lack of experience of the outfielder, Chunshi let the baseball fall to the ground, resulting in a hit.

"A hit!"

"Great! Great!"

"No one out, man on second base."

After the mistake, Chun Shi felt very guilty and kept his head down after passing the ball back.

"Haruichi, keep your head up! There might be more balls coming soon!"

Isajiki Jun reminded loudly, and although he had a grin on his face, it was obvious that he did not blame Haruichi.

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, especially a first-year junior.

It is remarkable that he dares and has the ability to stand on this stage.

"Haruichi, you still have a lot to learn."

Ryosuke said as he put ice on his chest and looked at his brother in right field.

"Third batter, first baseman, Arima-san."

Arima's batting average in this game was not worse than Takeda's, and he was even the batter with the highest batting average in the entire Yokohama Kohoku.

When he stood here, the fans of Yokohama Kohoku also saw hope.

"kick off!"

"His stamina should have reached its limit, plus Haruichi's mistake. Both his mental and physical state are a big disadvantage."

Miyuki gritted his teeth and continued to play the ball.

"Change ball!"

At this time, use a changeup!

I have to say, Miyuki is really brave!

Don't worry about the size of the ball's changes at that time, any change is a good thing.

"Whoosh!"

Without thinking twice, Sawamura raised his arm and swung it out.

The baseball flew through the air, but at a much higher angle, and even flew directly over Miyuki's head.

"Oh no, this isn't the right match!"

"Snapped!"

The baseball hit the guardrail behind Miyuki. Takagi at second base saw the opportunity and ran to third base as hard as he could.

There was just no chance to attack home plate.

No one is out and there's a man on third base!
At the critical moment, Sawamura and Haruichi each made a fatal mistake!
The outcome of the game began to become confusing.
