Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 289 Counterattack
“I was struck out!”

"No way!"

"No matter what happens, there's no way Miyuki will get struck out!"

“So fake!”

In this game, the awakening of Ugusumori High School was visible to the naked eye.

First he pinned down Kuramochi, then he took down Hakushu, and finally he struck out Miyuki.

After this, not only the people from Qingdao High School, but also the audience of Ukumori High School felt incredible.

They know how strong their home team is.

On the contrary, I know it better than anyone else.

It is not easy to defeat Daocheng Industrial, and now they have blocked Qingdao High School's batting line.

Perhaps, the audience here will really see the underdog team’s comeback.

Strong teams keep getting stronger, and except for their fans, everyone will get a little aesthetically fatigued.

Especially neutral fans.

And this is the scenario that is happening now at Ujimusi High School.

"Ukumori!"

"Scatter them!"

"What is Qingdao High School?!"

"It's just a rubbish team, come on! Ukumori!"

Most of the audience at the scene became fans of Ukusumori High School.

The cheers for Ukusumori High School even drowned out the cheers for Seidou High School to a certain extent.

Qingdao High School seemed to have become the villain at this time.

No one wants Seidou High School to dominate the Tokyo area for too long; they would rather a new king ascend the throne.

"Really."

Looking at the sudden change in the atmosphere at the scene, Jinwan was also a little dissatisfied.

He had just returned to the lounge to replenish his water when he heard this sound and felt uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter. The more pressure we put on you, the more we have to turn it into motivation. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

"it is good!"

Director Kataoka, if we talk about other things, at least he is quite good at giving people chicken soup for the soul.

With just two simple sweet words, he boosted the confidence of the Qingdao High School players.

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

"Go ahead, Mei!"

"Let's have a big one!"

"Come on!"

The Ukusumori High School lounge was still so united that none of them was unhappy when the fourth batter came up to bat.

Even though they are five points behind now, in terms of atmosphere, Qingdao High School is far inferior to Ukumori High School.

Seidou High School is the new champion of Koshien, and they only have defending the title in their mind.

No matter what game you play, there will be pressure.

But Ugumori High School is different.

Defeating Daocheng Industry has made many people look at them with admiration.

In the match against Seidou High School, winning would bring honor to the family, and losing would be natural.

I don't feel any pressure at all.

"kick off!"

"come!"

"Whoosh!"

After Umemiya shouted, Sawamura did not slow down and the baseball flew directly over.

The white ball was full of power and drilled into Umemiya's chest at a sharp angle.

"What a tricky angle!"

"Qiang!"

Even so, the moment he saw the baseball, Umemiya still swung the bat and hit it out.

The hit baseball landed in front of the second baseman Haruichi.

What's even more terrifying is that the ball seemed to have fallen into a sand pit and did not bounce back when it hit the ground.

Chun Shi had already calculated the angle of the rebound and had his gloves ready, but the ball didn't bounce in at all.

No one knew how to explain the hit, but Haruichi immediately picked up the baseball and threw it to first base.

"Snapped!"

Even though Zhou Hui caught it, Mei Gong was still too fast and directly hugged the base.

"Safety on base!"

"It's just luck."

Zhou Hui muttered and passed the ball back to home base.

"Is it really that difficult to admit me?" Umemiya's voice came.

Zhou Hui said nothing, still with his right foot on first base and his left hand reaching towards the pitcher's mound.

"Fifth batter, first baseman, Fukuinu-san."

Fushigi is also a player who has gotten a hit from Sawamura, and he is someone who should not be underestimated.

What's more, it is the current Ukumori High School.

No one out, first base occupied.

In this situation, according to the tactical manual of Ukumori High School, short hits should not be used.

In the tactical manual of Ukusumori High School, there are very few short hits, and there is no such tactic as short hit at all.

Either steal a base or hit the ball.

Simple and crude, no tactics at all.

Sawamura held the baseball in his left hand and looked towards Umemiya from time to time.

But the lethality of Sawamura's eyes is far less than that of Umemiya.

"Whoosh!"

Sawamura's pitching posture this time was obviously faster and no longer the same as before.

There is someone on first base now, and if the pitching speed continues at that level, Umemiya may have a chance to take advantage.

Sawamura had not noticed this before.

It was Miyuki who corrected his bad habits.

"Qiang!"

"Sure enough, they still fight like this."

The ball hit the outside corner slowly and low, but Fuquan swung at it without any hesitation.

As long as it is a ball that they can hit, they will probably hit it out without thinking.

Aso Takashi in the left outfield saw the flying baseball and ran forward with both legs.

He had already determined where the baseball would land.

"I can take it."

Aso Takashi told himself so, but when he reached out his hand, the baseball passed by his glove.

The baseball landed on the grass in front of him.

A hit to left field.

Umemiya went to second base and Fukuin went to first base.

This goal was achieved thanks to a mistake made by Qingdao High School.

In addition to their fighting spirit, Ukumori High School also has extraordinary luck and timing.

No one out, one and two bases occupied.

"Hahahahahaha, good opportunity."

"Yamamoto, it's up to you!"

"come on!"

The atmosphere at Ukusumi High School has always been good except for that dull period.

Everyone enjoyed cheering for the players on the field.

"Sixth batter, third baseman, Yamamoto-san."

Miyuki noticed the change in Sawamura's expression, and it was obvious that something was wrong.

If this ball still hits, he might collapse.

So Yukichi has to do his best to prevent this from happening.

"Adjust your state and throw a high straight ball into the inside corner."

After getting into position, Sawamura also threw the ball over.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Umemiya also ran out from second base.

He is not a fast person, but he has this kind of courage!
"Are you crazy?"

Although Umemiya's long legs looked very impressive when he ran, no one thought he could successfully steal a base.

The distance between second base and third base is not very close.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Miyuki hurriedly got up and passed the ball to third base.

Umemiya's chest began to rise and fall, and his right hand rushed towards the third base.

You must encounter it, you must encounter it!

"Snapped!"

Higashi caught the ball and immediately pressed it forward.

It all depends on the judgement of the referee.

"Safety on base!"
