Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 290: The gap is closing
No one is out and there are runners on first and third base.

Although Umemiya doesn't know how to sprint professionally, his movements look extremely clumsy to Kuramochi, an expert.

But there was nothing he could do, the other guy was able to steal the base successfully and reach third base.

Who can you go to for justice?
What they rely on is never the glamorous appearance or extremely professional technology, but their hard work.

It is this fighting spirit that brought them to this place.

Caution began to appear on Yuki's face, but there was more murderous intent.

But Sawamura, standing on the pitcher's mound, kept gritting his teeth.

"Don't worry about it, it will pass."

After that, an inside corner straight ball was played.

"Whoosh!"

Sawamura's pitching was getting faster and faster, his shoulder covering the entire baseball. The baseball, whose landing point was unclear, disappeared in a flash and landed in Yamamoto's hands.

Fuquan had no intention of stealing home base, and for Umemiya, stealing home base was something he dared to think about but did not dare to do.

Then just swing it out.

"Qiang!"

The bat swung quickly, and the baseball was hit and rolled toward second base.

Seeing this scene, the two people on the base started quickly, and Fu Quan also dropped the bat and ran to first base.

Kuramochi quickly moved sideways, picked up the baseball, and threw it towards home plate.

But Yukichi was already prepared.

"Snapped!"

The moment the baseball fell into the glove, Miyuki positioned himself firmly on the home run, like a mountain.

Next, no matter how powerful the impact was, Umemiya had to endure it.

"Come on! I'm not afraid of you in a head-on fight!"

While shouting, Umemiya used all his strength to rush towards Miyuki.

Seeing Umemiya's momentum, Miyuki was not afraid. He stood still as still as a mountain, watching Umemiya approaching step by step.

Just when Miyuki felt that the number of outs was secured, Umemiya slid in directly.

Yukichi also rushed forward.

But at this moment, Umemiya used his arms as a support point, began to restrain the movements of his body, and stopped abruptly at a position about 30 centimeters away from home plate.

"This is?"

Just when Yuki was at a loss, Umemiya suddenly stood up, using the advantage of his long legs to jump over Yuki.

It jumped from the front to the back, leaving Yuki stunned for a few seconds.

"Safety on base!"

The next second, Umemiya's hand appeared on the home plate.

Score!

5: 1!

Umemiya helped Ukumori High School to recover one point, and now they are getting closer and closer to Seidou High School.

"Great!"

“Good run!”

After Umemiya returned to home plate, Fushimichi and Yamamoto also reached their next base.

No one out, one and two bases occupied.

To be honest, the way Ukumori High School scores is really creative and hardworking.

This is something that many teams don't have.

Many star players often choose to play to protect their physical condition for the sake of their draft prospects.

This also makes people feel that they don't want to win. There is no fighting spirit.

Only a team like Ukusumori High School, which has no baggage, will give it their all.

"You kid, do you know how dangerous that move was? After the game, you have to go to the hospital with me for a checkup on your arms and legs."

After getting the first point, Coach Yoshimoto did not seem very happy. Instead, he was very dissatisfied with his choice this time.

If we lose the game, we can win it back next year.

But if you get seriously injured, it will be a lifelong problem.

"As long as I can win, nothing else matters."

Looking at Matsubara, Umemiya said this calmly.

The reason why he is willing to play baseball so hard is because of Songyuan.

After Matsubara was seriously injured, no one except Umemiya knew how he managed to survive.

It was because of Song Yuan that he was moved to give up on himself, not want to train, and keep fooling around.

"Amei..."

This first point is just the beginning for Ujimusi High School. What they want is to keep scoring.

"It's okay, Sawamura."

Miyuki said something to Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, and Sawamura nodded.

It's nothing. He's no longer the pitcher who gets easily defeated.

Facing the batter below, Sawamura looked to the right and swung his arm.

"Whoosh!"

An extremely sharp inside corner high straight ball passed through again.

This level of sharpness cannot be defeated by strength alone.

"Qiang!"

The bat was swung and the baseball flew out.

Unfortunately, the ball landed at first base where Zhou Hui was defending.

The batter also hit his knee to express his displeasure.

"Snapped!"

Zhou Hui grabbed the baseball, stepped on the first base and passed the ball to Kuramochi on second base.

"Out!"

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Kuramochi grabbed the baseball and got a double play.

Zhou Hui's reaction speed was extremely fast.

If Fu Quan hadn't run to third base before batting, Zhou Hui's pass would have resulted in a triple kill.

With two outs and a runner on third base, the situation was already very unfavorable for Ukusumori High School.

For them, the worse news may be that the next batter is the eighth batter from Ukumori High School.

It’s difficult to fix.

The eighth batter stepped into the batter's box following the announcement.

"Come on, Xiao Jia!"

"It's not over yet!"

"Give me a long one!"

It can be seen that even in the face of such a situation, Ukumori High School still remained calm and cheered on its players.

Not a bit dejected.

"You are obviously the ones who are lagging behind and at a disadvantage. Why…"

Sawamura couldn't understand.

Their situation is so disadvantageous, how come they still look like they are leading?

This... this is not scientific!

With this thought in mind, Sawamura began to become hesitant when pitching.

Even the inside corner kick, which is his best.

"Whoosh!"

"Too hesitant, not decisive enough when pitching!"

Yukichi secretly thought that something was wrong.

Looking at the position where the baseball is flying, it’s very precise!
"Qiang!"

The batter swung and hit the flying baseball.

The little white ball immediately rolled out and headed for third base.

The baseball rolled very resolutely at lightning speed, bumping all the way to left field.

When left fielder Aso Takashi picked up the baseball again, Fukuinu had already started heading towards home plate.

But Aso Takashi obviously didn't want to give up this opportunity and threw the ball to home base.

"Don't try to succeed!"

"Whoosh!"

He threw the baseball from left field, and the extremely fast speed of the ball went straight into Miyuki's glove.

"Snapped!"

After catching the ball, Yukichi pressed down quickly.

Unfortunately, Fu Quan had already reached home base.

He is faster than Umemiya, and he is smarter than Umemiya and doesn't just fight blindly.

"Safety on base!"

5: 2!

With two outs, first base was occupied.

Ugusumori High School continued to narrow the gap.

In this way, it seems that it is no longer a dream for them to tie the score.
