Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 287 The Strongest Line

"Snapped!"

The seventh batter of Ugusumori High School is quite capable compared to the previous players.

But more often than not, it was Sawamura's pitching mistakes.

Sawamura's pitch was originally a weird pitch that was sliding from the inside corner to the bad ball, but who would have thought that it would slide directly to the red center ball position.

Being hit to the center of the ball and swept out is not a small amount of strength, so it is natural that a hit may be made.

Unfortunately, he swept to first base.

Zhou Hui dived and caught the baseball.

Zhou Hui is definitely the most versatile player in Qingdao High School. There is nothing he can't play in the outfield, infield, or as a pitcher.

As a pitcher, Zhou Hui has not yet allowed a hit.

He had excellent defensive coverage in the outfield, and the baseball never landed in left field.

As an infielder, he has quick feet and is very agile, a model of the strongest infielder.

"handsome!"

On the way back to the locker room, Kuramochi also expressed his approval of Zhou Hui's goal.

But Zhou Hui just lifted his bangs up.

"Basic operation."

"Tsk, why are you trying so hard to be cool!"

Having said that, Zhou Hui has the capital to show off.

Although Kuramochi was not ugly, no young girl had ever written him a love letter.

On the contrary, Zhou Hui, whose bookcase was once filled with love letters, now has found his true love.

There is no doubt that Fujiwara-senpai's beauty is amazing, and when she joins forces with Zhou Hui, they are undoubtedly a perfect match.

This made Kuramochi even more envious.

As one of the few girls who is related to the baseball team, Fujiwara-senpai’s appearance can be said to be at the peak.

But unfortunately, Zhou Hui still took advantage of him.

"so close."

Back in the lounge, Yukichi also let out a breath of foul air.

Fortunately, no points were lost in this inning. Although the points can be made up, he didn't know whether the new ace pitcher could adjust after the points were conceded.

In short, according to his thinking, the less pressure the pitcher has, the better.

What's more, Sawamura is now an ace pitcher.

Speaking of ace pitchers, Miyuki thinks that the flower in the greenhouse is more suitable for Sawamura.

He does not deny Sawamura's current strength, but whether he can stand on his own is still another question.

Can't be destroyed by wind and rain, can only play when the wind is favorable.

If not a flower in a greenhouse, what else could Sawamura be?
But these are just Miyuki's own assumptions.

He also thought that he was worrying too much.

But no matter how he looked at it, the feeling Sawamura gave him remained the same, without any change.

"The game is still going on. Let's try to end it early. Next we have to study the information about Wanggu High School."

Coach Kataoka also thought that the game was a sure win.

Most importantly, when will it end?

The following competition became increasingly intense, and none of the teams that remained were pushovers.

Without a more thorough study of the opponent, victory might not be a sure thing at all.

Their mission is to defend the title!

Umemiya had already stepped onto the pitcher's mound, his feet rubbing against the dirt on the mound, and he seemed to have unlimited confidence in the upcoming game.

The attack just now has proved that Qingdao High School is not invincible!

Zhou Hui didn't dare to say it, but if they could suppress the other players, they would not have no chance of turning defeat into victory.

"Get ready!"

Coach Kataoka looked straight at the court and waved his hand.

Kuramochi obeyed the order, put on his equipment, and walked up with big strides.

"Top of the third inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the first batter, shortstop, is Kuramochi-san."

"It's this troublesome guy again."

After seeing Kuramochi's speed, Umemiya also felt a headache when he saw him.

If you are not careful or are a little slow, he will score.

This is a common occurrence.

The slow ball came flying.

Slow balls also have the characteristics of slow balls.

For example, rhythm is one of his biggest advantages.

Otherwise, Daocheng Industry would not have tried so hard to get one point.

But for Qingdao High School, this is not an advantage.

They only believe in their own absolute power.

In the face of absolute power, everything is just a trivial matter and there is no need to worry too much.

"Ping!"

Kuramochi unexpectedly hit the ball out with a short hit.

Yamamoto on third base obviously didn't react.

By the time he saw the baseball rolling over and quickly stepped forward to pick up the ball and throw it towards first base, it was too late.

Kuramochi ran to first base without any surprise.

His speed was too fast, leaving no room for distraction.

And when he got on base, the real test began.

Many teams don't want Kuramochi to get on base, as it is too troublesome to face him when he gets on base.

There is simply no way for ordinary people to deal with it.

"Second batter, right fielder, Hakushu-san."

Kuramochi approached second base step by step, while Hakusu stood in the batter's box and prepared the short bat.

This short stick directly blocked Umemiya's pitching route.

In this case, he has very few pitches left, and it is clear what kind of ball he will throw.

"Whoosh!"

Umemiya had no choice but to throw it.

And the moment Umemiya raised his leg and turned his hips, Kuramochi had already started running towards second base.

This speed doesn't seem like that of a normal person at all, but rather like a cheetah seeing its prey.

The title of cheetah is truly well-deserved.

However, Shirasu's short hit was also an illusion. As the baseball got closer, Shirasu straightened his back and hit the ball out.

"Qiang!"

Hakushu, who was not good at long hits, actually hit the ball to right outfield, which surprised no one.

The moment he landed, the whole audience erupted in thunderous cheers.

Kuramochi, who was at first base, quickly ran back to home plate by hitting and running and hitting a long hit.

After running back to home base, Kuramochi jumped up happily.

As a result, Qingdao High School's score reached a new level.

The total score of 3:0 allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"With four more points, we can end the game early."

With his fists clenched, Kuramochi revealed his row of white teeth.

"Since Koshien, it's rare to see you run back and score. Haha."

Miyuki looked at Kuramochi who had returned and teased.

"I'm in a good mood now, so I won't argue with you, but you must send Baizhou back to me."

“These are all minor issues.”

"Snapped!"

After high-fiving, Miyuki stepped into the batter's box.

Two pitches later, Miyuki locked onto Umemiya's curveball.

"Qiang!"

With a wave of his hand, the baseball flew into the sky and landed behind Kondo in left field.

With one hit, Hakushu was successfully sent back.

Seidou High School continues to score!
