Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 24 Our Score

After Zhou Hui cooperated beautifully with Haruichi to get a double kill, Sawamura was also very powerful.

Once again, he used his unpredictable pitching posture to force the batter to hit a high fly ball, which was caught steadily by the right fielder.

In this inning, the second team not only failed to continue scoring, but was also beaten three up and three down by the first grade.

The face has been lost long ago.

The protagonist always appears last.

After Sawamura, Haruichi and Zhou Hui came on the court, they seemed to be trying to equalize the score.

It seems that their appearance is just for this purpose.

Although the reality is no longer possible, as long as they can get the points, they have already succeeded!
But unfortunately, the game did not go as they expected.

Although Sawamura was still suppressing the seniors in the eighth inning, his roommate Masuko Toru hit a home run in the ninth inning, and the score was widened again.

29: 0!

The terrifying score difference!

The other students in the first grade did not have Zhou Hui's ability and could not get any points.

Next, it was the first graders' turn to bat at bats eight, nine, and one.

The corresponding ones are the three little ones who were substituted in the seventh inning.

The task of scoring is still left to them!
The first one to come on stage was Sawamura.

"Do we have to finish the orientation match this time?"

Ono Hong had no idea what Director Kataoka was thinking.

In previous years, the welcome match would end when there was a big score difference, but this time it will be played all nine innings.

"Sawamura, don't be nervous, just get on base."

Zhou Hui said to Sawamura.

"No problem, I'll cover it!"

Sawamura patted his chest confidently.

When two positive people come together, there is a wonderful chemical reaction.

"Please give me some advice!"

Sawamura shouted loudly, scaring Ono Hong.

"It's so energetic!"

Ono Hiroshi praised Sawamura's energy and then started to play the ball.

"Whoosh!"

"what!"

When Sawamura saw the baseball, he immediately swung the bat.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"So fast?"

Sawamura was also shocked when he saw the speed of the ball.

Compared to these people, Sawamura is just a country boy.

He was from the countryside of Nagano, where there were no pitchers with such a fast pitching speed.

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Another good ball!

Two strikes, Sawamura was forced into a desperate situation.

“Are you going to get struck out again?”

Haruichi gritted his teeth.

"I feel like this kid might not be that simple."

Zhou Hui smiled slightly.

"What do you mean?"

Haruichi didn't know why Zhou Hui was still so confident in Sawamura.

"Look, this kid is an uncertain factor."

When defending just now, Zhou Hui had already observed Sawamura and found that this kid was an uncertain factor.

It's sometimes good and sometimes bad, very interesting.

"Whoosh!"

The next ball comes, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will be a strikeout!

"I must hit it!"

Having said that, Sawamura immediately swung the bat.

But unfortunately, there was no recoil feeling on the bat.

"Failed?"

"Run, the catcher didn't catch the ball!"

Zhou Hui shouted loudly after seeing that there was no baseball in Ono Hong's glove.

Sawamura only realized it later and threw away the bat and ran towards first base.

Ono Hong had almost the same reaction and ran towards the back.

But unfortunately, the ball missed too far, and the baseball hit the fence without any resistance. Sawamura also ran to first base effortlessly.

"Yeah! Another one's on base!"

The confidence of the first graders is already soaring!
Following Zhou Hui, another person came to base!

Ono Hong's expression was very complicated, as if he felt sorry for Kawakami.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I won't let them get on base next time."

Kawakami comforted her in time.

"Xiao Minato." Zhou Hui called out from behind him, "You won't let their big talk come true, right?"

Chun Shi turned around, looked at Zhou Hui's expectant eyes, and gave him a thumbs up.

"I will do my best to get Sawamura-san back to home base. As for me, I'll have to trouble you as well."

"no problem."

With that, Haruichi walked up to the batter's box and faced Kawakami.

"Just run, I'll get you back to home base!"

Haruichi pointed the bat at Sawamura.

"What a loud tone."

Kawakami said dissatisfiedly.

Even a person with such a good personality had a murderous expression on his face.

"So short a grip?"

When Ono Hong saw the position where Haruichi held the baton, he immediately came up with a countermeasure.

Outside corner kick!
If he holds the bat like this, he won't be able to reach the outside corner!
"Whoosh!"

"Let me guess."

Haruichi immediately switched back to his normal grip after seeing the outside corner kick.

"He fooled me."

Ono Hong realized it later.

"Qiang!"

But it was too late, the baseball was hit and went through left field!
Sawamura also started running, without caring about anything at all, his only goal was home base!

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

Sawamura yelled like crazy, his feet moving fast.

It seems that his running with the tire these days was not in vain.

"Come on!"

Haruichi yelled when he saw Sawamura running past third base with no intention of stopping.

Many students were shocked.

At this time, the outfielder had already passed the ball back to second base, and it was difficult for Sawamura to run back.

If he continued to run, he would undoubtedly be out.

But Zemura was already running like crazy, heading towards home base.

"Do you dare to continue?"

Although Ono Hiroshi was shocked by Sawamura, he would not show mercy.

This was a face-saving match, and he absolutely could not let the first-year player score.

"Snapped!"

The baseball went into Ono Hong's glove, and Sawamura also slipped over.

"too late."

Ono Hong pressed towards Sawamura.

But there was no panic on Sawamura's face. He supported himself with his right hand, then made a big turn with his whole body, avoided Ono Hong's glove, and successfully touched the home plate.

!!!

Ono Hong was shocked!

"Safety on base!"

"it is good!!"

Sawamura stood up and raised his hands in celebration.

This is the first point in the first grade!
"awesome!"

“We scored!”

"It won't be a shutout!"

"Okay!"

The first graders celebrated and some even started hugging each other.

Haruichi hit a double and successfully sent Sawamura back to home base, scoring the first point for the first grade!
A good start!
"Is he really not afraid of getting hurt?"

If Sawamura wasn't a person with particularly good flexibility, he would probably have sprained his ankle because of what he did.

But seeing Sawamura jumping around, it seemed nothing was wrong.

Maybe this kid has extraordinary potential.

"Sawamura-kun, this is a point we scored together."
