Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 199 Two Out
The score that Seidou High School was leading was tied in an instant, which to be honest made everyone in Seidou High School feel uncomfortable.

Although they knew that if they could get one point, they could get the second point, but they had not yet fully experienced the joy of being ahead because the score was tied in an instant!

Judging from the attacks that have already been carried out for more than half of this round, Yamamori Academy has no one else to rely on except the two Shenzu brothers.

It seems that the following games will be much easier to play.

Just focus on guarding against these two.

With targeted deployment, the next thing to do is to score points on the offensive end.

How to score more points on the offensive end will undoubtedly be the key to their victory.

"The current situation is actually good for us, but it's not the last inning yet. Otherwise, we might be able to win it safely."

Chris said as he looked at the score.

The draw at the beginning did not cause any damage to Kamisama Yuto.

There are still eight innings to go, the game is far from over.

"If we can keep this score until the ninth inning, we can win the game."

Chris nodded.

"That's true, but our department is Qingdao High School!"

"We...are Qingdao High School?"

Minister Ota obviously did not understand what this sentence meant.

"We at Qingdao High School won't just sit there and wait for death."

Chris smiled slightly and left the rest for Minister Ota to figure out on his own.

Minister Ota's head turned for a moment and he instantly understood what Chris meant.

Seidou High School has never been a team that sits back and waits for the game to end and then win!
What they need to do is to take the initiative in the game.

Next, they will have to pursue the opponent relentlessly on the offensive end and take the outcome of the game into their own hands.

"Qiang!"

The eighth batter of Yamamori Academy had no way to deal with the curve ball thrown by Kamidamba. The fact that he could touch it was already the best he could do.

However, before the ball could fly to the outfield, it was intercepted by infielder Haruichi.

If the baseball had been allowed to fly, it would have landed in front of Isashiki Jun, but Haruichi still challenged himself.

His agile figure, if you ignore his face, is exactly the same as his brother's.

If you put the video of Ryosuke saving the ball and the video of Haruichi saving the ball together, who can still tell which is which.

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

"That ball was nearly a hit."

Miyuki glanced at Tamba's face.

After conceding one point, his condition was indeed much worse than before.

Can Tamba really complete the task given to him by Director Kataoka?

Coach Kataoka gave him the task of defending for five innings, which was almost half of the innings.

We lost points in the second game, so there is still a long way to go to complete this task!

The defensive staff of Seidou High School returned to the locker room.

Zhou Hui took off his gloves and exhaled.

Although Danbo lost points, he still suppressed the opponent pretty well.

At least no baseball flew into his defensive range, which proved that it was still difficult for Yamamori Academy to hit the ball to the outfield.

In this game, Zhou Hui almost just stood there without moving, and had no experience at all.

It is very likely that he will not get a turn to hit in the next round.

"You two brothers played well. You finally managed to get a point back."

Supervisor Suda wiped a cold sweat.

He was shocked when Yuki and Zhou Hui scored at the speed of light in the first game.

Without any special research on their ace pitcher, he didn't think that Yamamori Academy could equalize the score in such a short time.

But the two brothers gave him a huge surprise.

"It's nothing. Let's wait for the two of us to overtake the score!"

Kamado Kazuto said confidently.

The two brothers who grew up together have a perfect understanding of each other. The cooperation they will show next will definitely catch Qingdao High School off guard.

"Don't be too confident."

Beishan suddenly said this at this time.

He still hasn't gotten over the humiliation he's received from Kamizuru and Dou.

Whatever he heard Kamado and Tou say, he wanted to step on it.

This person is very vindictive.

But in the eyes of Shenzu and Dou, he is actually the same as the clown.

Something beyond your capabilities.

After the quarrel with Shenzu and Dou, Kitayama's condition deteriorated visibly.

Defensively, he was a little slow.

Whenever I see a baseball coming, my reaction is not as quick or smooth as before.

On the contrary, Kamisama and Tou were like nothing happened. They hit a hit in their first at-bat and helped the team score.

The two of them are worlds apart.

Shenzu and Dou are truly good at both offense and defense.

He can help the team score on the offensive end, and on the defensive end his passing and the floating straight balls of Shenzu Yuto also blocked the offense of Qingdao High School's first line.

This is totally not the strength and steadiness a first-year catcher should have.

"Don't talk to me if you don't have a hit."

It is not very harmful and extremely insulting.

Kamizuru and Toto still didn't give their senior Kitayama any face at all.

Beishan's face turned red with anger, but he still couldn't say anything.

To be honest, he was the best performer in this game.

What could he use to refute it?
If he was beaten better by Shenzu and Dou, it can be refuted.

But the problem is that he is really not as good as others.

What can be done?
"Pay attention to the defense later, or the second baseman might have to be replaced."

After putting on his mask and saying this, Kamisama Kazuto ran to the catcher's box.

"I don't need you to take charge yet!"

"But I am the catcher of the team, and it is my responsibility to command you."

Shenzu and Doutou didn't turn back either.

Every time they come back, there is a quarrel. How did such a team get into Koshien?
"Except for this guy called Masuko and the seventh batter Miyuki, their batting line-up won't pose much of a threat to you."

Kamisama Yuto has an understanding of Seidou High School's batting line, and he also knows who can pose a threat to Kamisama Yuto.

"I know brother."

"Throw the ball well, we're going to dominate the country in our first year!"

"elder brother!"

"younger brother!"

After the two of them high-fived in tacit understanding, they went to their respective defensive areas.

Kamisama Kazuto crouched in the catcher's box, while Kamisama Yuto walked onto the pitcher's mound.

Looking at the confusing behavior of the two, everyone couldn't help but sigh at their IQ.

"Bottom of the second inning, Seidou High School is on offense, sixth batter, third baseman, Masuko-san."

The huge Masuko Toru walked up.

After entering the batter's box, Kamisama and Tou just stomped their feet and felt the ground around them shake.

This body shape doesn't seem to be fake.

For Toru Masuko, the meals he eats every day have been transformed into strength.

"This is obviously a power hitter. He definitely doesn't have any skills. Here's an inside corner ball."

The inside corner ball can be touched with just a stretch of the hand.

There is a reason for such a simple ball. If the batter doesn't have some skills, there is no way he can hit the ball out.

To deal with a batter like Toru Masuko, the inside corner ball is the most sufficient.

"Whoosh!"

Kamisama Yuto lifted his slender thighs, stretched out his arms and threw the ball.

Breaking through the obstacles, the baseball fell into the gloves of Shenzu and Dou.

"Bah!" "Good shot!"

Kamisama Yuto's ball control is pretty good and he can control the ball to where Kamisama Yuto wants.

"Not bad, not bad, keep it up."

After seeing the inside corner kick, Zengzi Toru subconsciously took a step back, creating enough time to exert force.

But Shenzu and Dou don't care about you so much.

You can retreat as you like, but if you shoot the ball from the outside corner, I lose.

"Whoosh!"

"Youdou's ability is more than just his power on the ball."

Seeing the white ball flying towards his chest again, Zeng Zi Toru did not let it go this time and raised the bat high to face it head-on.

This hit is enough to knock the ball far away.

"Qiang!"

During the hitting process, the baseball floated up for a distance, making Zengzi Toru extremely uncomfortable.

Even so, Masuko Toru still relied on his brute strength comparable to that of a monster to knock away the oncoming baseball.

A fly ball between third base and shortstop.

The bag must have flown over.

Toru Masuko threw away the bat, and the locker room of Seidou High School began to celebrate.

Everyone was very confident that the ball would fly to left field and become a hit.

Even Masuko Toru himself thought so. He ran very hard and never thought that the baseball would be intercepted.

This height, plus this speed.

Even if the fielder intends to intercept and makes a save, it is difficult to continue.

Seidou High School is very confident that Toru Masuko can get on base.

“Run, run!”

"accelerate!"

"Snapped!"

Just as Qingdao High School was dancing and celebrating, a crisp voice was heard.

At second base, an agile figure rushed out and stopped the flying baseball with his left glove.

"Out!"

The third base umpire sees the baseball and raises his right hand to call it an out.

Masuko Toru, who was running base just now, was very dissatisfied and shocked when he heard the referee's decision.

When everyone thought he would get a hit, he was stopped by the fielder.

Masuko Toru quickly looked back.

Kitayama, who was at second base just now, suddenly fell to the ground between second and third base, with a baseball in his glove, which shocked Masuko Toru.

Can he really jump that far to catch the ball?

If you are pushed into a corner, your potential may really be stimulated.

Beishan is such a person.

During the quarrel with Shenzu Hedou, he became angry and kept competing with Shenzu Hedou.

He wanted to use his powerful performance to slap Kamado and Tou in the face.

But who would have known that after such an extreme dive, Kamizuru Yuto didn't even look at it, but asked the referee behind him for a ball and threw it to Kamizuru Yuto on the pitcher's mound.

"The ball is covered in mud. If you continue to throw it, it will definitely affect the ball's trajectory. Just give it to Ah Hai next to you."

Kamado and Tou said to Kitayama.

As soon as he finished speaking, the caddy from Yamamori Academy named Ahai ran over.

Beishan looked angry.

Is this what he cares about?
What he cared about was that he got such a nice out and was not taken seriously.

This is what he cares about most.

Beishan angrily threw the ball to Ahai.

Ah Hai didn't even wear gloves, and he took it with his bare hands. His palms felt stinging instantly.

Supervisor Suda shook his head.

How can you still have such a bad temper in this situation?

Kitayama is really an unreasonable player.

He has the ability, otherwise he wouldn't be a starter in the Koshien team.

But given his temper, there's no way he'll be able to go too far or be too successful.

"The seventh batter, the catcher, Miyuki-san."

Miyuki, wearing goggles and carrying a baseball bat on his shoulder, walked up.

He showed his signature smile, as if he understood the playing style of Yamamori Academy.

"My judgment should not be wrong."

Looking at the empty base, Miyuki began to worry.

When there was no one on the base, his guesses were always wrong.

Yuto Kamisama stood on the pitcher's mound, enjoying the cheers from the audience, although most of the cheers were for Kitayama.

But standing on the pitcher's mound, it's really easy to feel like the protagonist.

The one who controls the rhythm of the game is always the most dazzling pitcher on the mound.

This is the iron rule of baseball.

"Whoosh!"

A white light flashed and the baseball flew out.

While drawing a beautiful arc, the sound of breaking through the air is faintly visible.

"It's just as I guessed."

A straight ball at a low angle, this was the path that Miyuki guessed.

Looking at the path of the baseball, Miyuki hit the bat on it as if he were playing golf.

"Qiang!"

It hit the center of the ball without any deviation, and the baseball was swept away like fallen leaves in the autumn wind.

"First base!"

Kamisama and Tou hurriedly took off their masks, but the first baseman was still a step too slow to react, causing the baseball to become a long hit.

Seizing this opportunity, Miyuki ran to first base.

One out, runner on first base!
"Haha, my judgment is starting to be correct."

Miyuki took off his batting gloves and said this with a hint of self-mockery.

After reaching first base, Miyuki moved towards second base, preparing to steal a base.

Although Miyuki's speed is good, it is not at the level where he can steal bases at will.

"The eighth bat, pitcher, Tanba-san."

Although Miyuki hit a hit, Seidou High School was still in a difficult situation.

Their next hitters were Tamba and Haruichi.

The batting averages of both of them are really hard to compliment.

It can be said that this hit appeared where he shouldn't have been.

"Whoosh!"

Even though Miyuki hit a hit, the pitcher Yuto Kamizaki didn't react at all.

It seemed like Miyuki's hit was intentional.

They might even want to face Tamba and Haruichi.

"Qiang!"

Even though it was hit, the baseball did not fly far and was caught steadily by the second baseman.

"Out!"

After a while, two people were out.

Although Miyuki is at first base, Seidou High School's chance of scoring is close to zero.

Because the next batter to come up is Haruichi!

"Ninth batter, second baseman, Haruichi Kominato."
