Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 291 One Point Difference

After defeating the ninth batter of Ukumori High School, Seidou High School finally got three outs.

Compared with the previous round of Ugumori High School

"Bottom of the sixth inning, Ukusumori High School is on offense, first batter, center fielder, Kondo-san."

The batting line of Ukusumori High School took a turn, and it was the turn of the first batter, Daiki Kondo, again.

"The score is still 5:2. Sawamura should be in good shape. Even though he lost two points, his defense is still reliable, especially Zhou Hui's."

Now Miyuki has placed his hopes on the defensive fielders.

Since Sawamura is unreliable, we can only rely on others.

As for the previous blow, for some reason, Ukumori High School had unexpectedly good luck.

Perhaps it can be said that Qingdao High School's defense is too poor and full of loopholes.

All in all, Ugusumori High School scored.

But no matter what, those scores still cannot pose a threat to Qingdao High School.

The first reason was that the score lead was not that big, and the second reason was that Ujimusumi High School’s playing style made him really unsure of how to score.

All in all, Qingdao High School has the advantage.

Sawamura stood on the pitcher's mound, his left hand holding a holy sword and his right hand holding a shield standing in front.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew out like white lightning and went into Miyuki's glove at the inner corner.

But Kondo took a step ahead and swung the bat at the baseball.

"Qiang!"

The small white ball was hit away. It seemed that Sawamura's ball had been completely seen through by these guys.

The ball was hit and landed accurately in center field.

Kondo successfully reached first base.

No one out, first base occupied.

"Second batter, catcher, Kishine-san."

"I don't think he'll steal a base, so just face the batter in front of you."

Sweat kept coming out of Sawamura's forehead, and he wiped his face with his sleeves from time to time so that he could look straight ahead.

"Whoosh!"

This time, Miyuki did not choose any straight balls.

Sawamura's straight ball is already a known card in the eyes of Ukumori High School, and anyone can hit it.

What is needed now is an unexpected goal.

Sawamura's changeup has not been used in the autumn tournament.

It has always been a combination of inside and outside corners and weird balls, and Sawamura has never used a changeup.

Ukusumori High School would never have thought that Sawamura would use a pitch that he had never used against Teito High School.

The white ball flies along the red center position, and when it enters the strike zone, it starts to slow down and flies to the lower right corner.

"Qiang!"

"Good chance, only hit one point!"

Miyuki was secretly delighted and pointed his finger towards third base.

Third baseman Higasa immediately picked up the ball and threw it to second base.

At this time, it was Haruichi who filled in at second base.

After the baseball was passed, it hit the edge of Haruichi's glove and fell down instantly.

"not good."

Haruichi didn't know what happened, and his condition started to deteriorate.

Perhaps it was because the crowd was filled with cheers for Ukusumori High School that made Haruichi feel uncomfortable.

It's not just Haruichi, few people in Qingdao High School feel comfortable.

When Haruichi picked up the ball again, Kondo had already slid to second base.

No one out, one and two bases occupied.

This situation is quite bad for Qingdao High School.

Because the next one they will face is the center batting line of Ukusumori High School, the third batter!

There is nothing to be afraid of when Ukumori High School's center batting line is at Seidou High School.

But the timing of his appearance was really bad.

If it happened in the first game, no one in Seidou High School would be afraid.

The same goes for Sawamura.

How could he, who had just become the team's ace pitcher, be afraid of the center batting line of such a third-rate team?

But the current situation and the state of Ukumori High School made Sawamura afraid. Not only Sawamura, but even Miyuki began to sweat.

"You must stay calm, Sawamura!"

Miyuki also began to cheer for Sawamura in his heart.

But he couldn't say it all.

There is no way. If I say it now, the whole world will know that Sawamura is not in good shape.

In this way, Ukusumori High School's attack will only become more fierce.

And it's not just Sawamura who is in good shape now.

It can be said that except for Zhou Hui and Miyuki, all the Qingdao High School players at the scene were very panicked.

"That ball just now was a changeup. I really didn't expect it."

Kishine was at first base, taking off his glove while talking to the caddie who had come over.

"Change ball?"

"Yeah, there wasn't that kind of ball in his match against Teito High School. And now it just appeared out of nowhere."

"The last time he appeared was in Koshien."

When Kishine said this, he could no longer contain his excitement in his eyes.

The more their opponents regard them as strong, the more excited they are.

This is what Qingdao High School is doing now.

When you are strong, you are strong; when you are weak, you are weak.

This has always been the style of Ugusumori High School.

Facing the full strength of the players sent by Daocheng Industry, they put in a pretty good performance.

We shut out Daocheng Industrial and still got two points from them.

This is not something that ordinary teams can do.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

Miyuki still uses a changeup.

Because he didn't know what else could pose a threat to Ujimusi High School's batting line except this one ball.

But the ball was knocked out without hesitation.

Ugumori High School has no desire to watch the game at all.

Often, after just looking at a ball, I have an idea in my mind and will just hit the ball.

There was a dull sound, and this time the baseball flew very high and deep.

Looking at the place where the baseball flew, the deepest shadow in Sawamura's heart suddenly rushed out.

The position, depth and speed of this ball were the same as those in the welcome game.

If Sawamura remembered correctly, during the freshman welcome match, Toru Masuko also hit him like this.

“Will it fly out?”

Sawamura was also starting to get scared now.

Because that's how Toru Masuko hit the ball for a home run.

But fortunately, the tragedy did not happen this time.

The baseball just landed in center field, but it was close to home plate.

Because of this ball, it fell near the center field wall!

"Oops."

"Hahahahahaha, good opportunity!"

"It's okay, it's okay, go, go, go!"

The instructor at third base at Ukusumori High School also kept letting people go, not only Kondo, but even Kishine who had just run over was sent to first base by him.

The third batter stopped at second base.

Tojo also picked up the baseball and threw it to home plate.

And Kondo had already reached base.

"Snapped!"

It’s still a step too late!
After Kondo, Kishine also returned to home base.

"Safety on base!"

5: 4!
