Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 295 Three Ups and Three Downs and Three Ups and Three Downs

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

"Hip!"

For Qingdao High School, the situation has been settled at this point.

In the next two games, if Ujimusi High School wants to score, it should not be so easy.

Even with their seventh, eighth and ninth sticks, they still had no effect on Akatsuki Fōgiya.

Although the first, second, third and fourth batsmen are not on the same level as the seventh, eighth and ninth batsmen, with a ball speed of 150 km per hour, Qingdao High School does not believe that Ukumori High School can hit it so easily.

As long as Fōgiya Akatsuki's condition remains, there will be no problem.

But the most important thing now is to provide insurance for this game at the next level.

So Kuramochi's purpose of coming up this time was nothing else but to continue scoring.

As for Qingdao High School, no matter how many points they get, they will never find too much.

The more the better, they are not picky.

Their batting line-up is enough to allow them to have such lofty ambitions.

"Come on, let me strike you out!"

"Whoosh!"

Umemiya's pitching remained unchanged, whether it was the speed, type of ball or rhythm.

Apart from the straight ball, the only ball Umemiya exposed in this game was the curve ball.

Although he suppressed Seidou High School for a period of time, after they caught his rhythm, his shortcomings were exposed and he was outscored by Seidou High School again and again.

But even so, he still chose his straight ball.

Nothing else, just because he is very confident in his ball.

Of course, this is from the perspective of Ukumori High School.

But the truth is, Umemiya only knows how to play these two types of balls.

It was difficult for him to make changes.

"Ping!"

The baseball was hit, but it didn't hit the ground for a while.

“It’s an opportunity.”

Kishine immediately rushed over and put his glove under the baseball.

"Snapped!"

It was just a short distance away, but Kishine caught the baseball.

The third baseman was already running in that direction, but Kishine's reaction was obviously faster.

If the ball were to land, it would only take a few tenths of a second at most.

At this time, Kishine could still catch the baseball.

This is completely beyond the level of normal people.

Kuramochi himself couldn't believe this was happening.

In all the days when he played baseball at Seidou High School and in all the games, no one had ever been able to do such a jaw-dropping thing.

Kishine brushed off the dust on his body and stood up again. Thanks to the mask, he was not covered in dust.

Although he is not particularly good-looking, if he is covered in dust, he will look sloppy.

As a boy, being ugly or handsome aside, the most important thing is being clean.

Being clean, neat and sunny is a plus for a boy.

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

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

"Foul ball!"

“They are anxious.”

Kishine smiled slightly, seeing through Hakushu.

Although his brain was not that sharp, seeing Baizhou shooting at such a bad ball, he still knew his current condition.

It's not good to be so anxious even though you are leading by a large margin.

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

The second ball was still not so obvious, but Shirasu still swung at it.

Anyway, you can touch it.

No one could have imagined that Hakushu, who was once known for his stability, would become like this.

It really caused an uproar.

"First baseman!"

Fuquan took the initiative to attack, blocked the baseball, and ran back to first base.

"Out!"

The first base was stepped on and the umpire immediately raised his right hand and announced the out.

Two outs and no one on base. This time, Seidou High School's batting line was not so smooth.

Umemiya's condition is getting better little by little.

Although his ball did not seem to pose any threat, it caused the batters of Seidou High School to suffer repeated setbacks.

"Snapped!"

With no one on base, Miyuki naturally didn't have a good performance.

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

The baseball was easily caught by the right fielder.

But these are not that important anymore, they are just small things.

Now they just need to drag the game to the end.

With the support of Akira Fōgaya, it is definitely not easy for Ukumori High School to score.

Qingdao High School has already secured victory in this game.

Next, Seidou High School only needs to continue to block their batting line for two innings to advance to the quarterfinals.

There is no need to completely block it.

As long as the score is kept below four points, it will be fine.

Four points should be a relatively easy task for Xiao Fōgō.

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

After entering the batter's box, Kondo looked at Fūya Akira and grabbed the bat.

"boom!"

Fōgaya Akira's pitching is still as powerful as ever.

Perhaps his playing style is more like that of Ugumori High School.

When he plays basketball, he is the kind of person who will risk his life for the sake of winning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had his fingers bleeding during the previous game.

Bleeding fingers is a small matter, but I am worried about breaking bones.

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Kondo's first pitch, but he swung and missed!

When facing Akira Fōgani's high-speed ball for the first time, except for those with extraordinary talent, basically few people can hit it.

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

For the next two balls, Kondo didn't even touch the baseball and was struck out.

There is absolutely no chance to take advantage of.

"Second batter, catcher, Kishine-san."

After being struck out, Kondo shook his head helplessly and walked back to the lounge with a helpless look on his face.

He didn't want to get struck out.

Who knew that Ujimusen's chances in High School were getting fewer and fewer, mainly because his strength really didn't allow it!
If he is strong enough, he also wants to hit a home run.

He also wanted to shine like Zhou Hui.

But there was no way around it, he really couldn't do it.

There is only one Zhou Hui in the whole world.

Zhou Hui's strength is not something he can easily challenge.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

While Kondo was still feeling helpless in the locker room about his lack of talent, Kishine on the court was also eliminated by Fōgiya Akira.

There was no surprise. This time, Akira Fōgaya defeated Kishine with three straight balls with an average speed of 150km/h.

In less than ten minutes, Ukumori High School had already received two outs.

If there is one more, their task will become even more difficult.

Scoring four points in one inning is no joke.

Because there's no joke.

This kind of ball is difficult for anyone to play.

Although it may happen, the chances are almost negligible.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strike! Batter is out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"
