Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 286 Two people on base is fine

In the top of the second inning, Qingdao High School's back-end batting line was almost like cannon fodder.

Facing Umemiya's slow ball, Sawamura didn't even hit it.

It's a bit unlike the batter of Seidou High School.

When did Seidou High School have such a bad hitter? No one outside can understand it.

But he didn’t say much.

Although Sawamura is not very good at hitting, he is a good pitcher.

As the ace pitcher of Seidou High School, although his technical skills are not very advanced, this achievement is still not low.

The achievement that even the fast-ball monster Akatsuki Fōgaya couldn't achieve can be achieved by this kid Sawamura.

It is indeed a bit unusual.

Although there was no score in this inning, the players of Seidou High School had nothing to worry about.

Although we have not yet seen the strength of the fourth and fifth batting line-up of Ukusumori High School, they should not be that strong.

The two points they got against Daocheng Industrial were due to Cheng Gongming's wild shot.

Although the grown-up Sawamura still cannot catch up with Chengmiya Mei, he is getting closer and closer in that direction step by step.

It wasn't a big deal to suppress the batters of Ukusumori High School.

Even if it is their center batting line, there is no need to worry about it.

"Bottom of the second inning, Ugusumori High School is on offense, fourth batter, pitcher, Umemiya-san."

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

After yelling, Umemiya went up to the batter's box.

"Come on, Mei!"

"Shoot out! Hit out!"

Ukusumori High School did not show signs of decline, but instead became more and more courageous.

Maybe it was because Qingdao High School's three ups and downs just now aroused their confidence.

Especially the strikeout against Sawamura.

Umemiya's plan is also good.

To deal with Sawamura, he did not choose a straight ball, but instead threw curve balls one by one.

Anyway, Sawamura will swing the bat when he sees a baseball, and his batting posture is not fixed.

It is not easy to hit a slow curve ball.

Of course, it was impossible for Sawamura to let Umemiya get to base easily.

Previously, he used three balls to complete three ups and three downs against Ukusumori High School, and he was very confident.

"Whoosh!"

The shoulder blocked the baseball and the little white ball was thrown.

Ujimusen High School couldn't figure out the rhythm and the passing point at all.

Sawamura's pitching speed is very slow, almost to the point of being a turtle, which is very different from that of ordinary pitchers.

Adaptation is also a problem.

And because he uses his broad shoulders to block his left hand when he pitches, you can't see his ball release point at first.

The next time you see a baseball, it might be when it's in your hands.

It's probably too late to swing the bat at this time.

"Qiang!"

But Umemiya doesn't care about that.

With a loud shout, he hit the baseball bat in his hand from top to bottom.

But at that moment, the baseball was just cut off the ground, which was not difficult to deal with.

"it is good!"

After seeing the baseball coming, Higasa secretly said "good".

There is absolutely no problem with this ball.

But something that no one could have expected still happened.

After the baseball entered Higasa's glove, it began to bounce irregularly. Higasa did not put the baseball into his glove at the first time.

When he finished tidying up and threw the baseball to first base again, Umemiya had already started diving.

His whole body rushed towards the first base.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Hui also tried his best to lean forward to get a better position.

His arms are only this long, and he really wants to move closer to catch the ball if he can.

"Safety on base!"

The first base umpire hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his hands.

Luck and a desperate style of play really left Qingdao High School with no chance of success.

They have tried so hard, so it is only right for them to get the at-bat.

Then again, Ujimusi High School's desire to win is really strong. Zhou Hui has never seen such a team before.

In order to get on base, they will do anything to get there and don't care about their own bodies.

Winning, letting them see it is more important than anything else.

If you don't have talent, work hard.

This seems to be the soul of the Ugusumori High School baseball team.

"It doesn't matter, it's just one base hit."

"There will be no problem in dealing with the others as well."

"It's my fault this time. Sorry, just let him hit it on the next ball. They will never get on base!"

The players of Seidou High School were afraid that Sawamura's confidence would drop, so they immediately began to encourage him.

Sometimes, talking nonsense is really useful.

Higasa even took on the responsibility this time just to prevent Sawamura from having too much pressure.

But Zhou Hui said nothing.

If Sawamura really has the ability, then just don't let them get on base next time!
"Fifth batter, first baseman, Fukuinu-san."

Compared to Umemiya, this guy called Fuquan is not bad either.

One is the center hitter and the other is the bases clearing hitter.

The strength is not to be underestimated.

However, facing Fushigi, Miyuki's first ball was unexpectedly a low outside corner straight ball.

Although Sawamura has considerable accomplishments in both the inside and outside corners, to be honest, his inside corner ball is more lethal.

"Whoosh!"

At the same time, Umemiya on first base also started to move, almost at the same time as Sawamura's pitch.

"You dare to steal this?"

"Qiang!"

But to Yuki's surprise, Fukuin hit the ball.

Hit and run!
The baseball rolled to the third floor, and when Kuramochi tried to hit it, Umemiya had already reached base.

Helpless, he could only pass to first base.

"Puppy!"

Still a save!

"Safety on base!"

It's a little bit faster again.

It's just a little bit, but in a game, a little bit can really make a big difference.

No one out, one and two bases occupied.

Qingdao High School fell into a very disadvantageous situation.

If this continues, we may not be able to secure even two points.

They are really reckless.

It would be fine if he wasn't injured, but if he was really injured, wouldn't this affect his career?
"Sixth batter, third baseman, Yamamoto-san."

"Yamamoto, you must fight back!"

"At least send Umemiya back!"

Yamamoto, who has two big buck teeth, walked into the batter's box.

His goal was clear, which was to get a hit, send Umemiya back to second base, and score.

Getting one point back for the team is also a very important thing.

At the very least, he'd have to hit a hit and load the bases.

At this time, the opposing ace pitcher is running out of energy.

It is more suitable for his performance!
"Whoosh!"

But Sawamura didn't let him wait too long, and the white ball flew out instantly.

The moment he saw the baseball, Yamamoto panicked.

He had no idea how to get on base with this kind of ball.

He is different from Umemiya and Fukuin.

Even if he relied on diving, he had no chance of getting on base.

"Qiang!"

The baseball was hit right in front of Kuramochi, who was standing on the second base.

"Out!"

"Out!"
