Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 302: Three Rounds of Attack and Defense

"Top of the second inning, Wanggu High School is on offense, fourth batter, first baseman, Kasuga-san."

The fourth batter from the second grade is Kasuga Takahiro.

He is in the same grade as Wakabayashi Go and is also a very threatening hitter for Seidou High School.

"The ball can't be swung toward first base anymore."

Kasuga glanced towards first base. Zhou Hui's look was really frightening.

Like him, both of them are first basemen, but he dares to say that his sense of pressure is definitely not as strong as the guy standing on first base now.

Zhou Hui is still his junior, so compared to him, Haruhi has wasted these years.

But there is nothing we can do about it.

Zhou Hui just has extremely strong talent, which he can't compare to.

The saying "don't compare talent, compare hard work" is problematic in itself.

People who are talented don’t need to work hard to reach the top, so they don’t need to work hard at all.

The achievements of these gifted people would be difficult for ordinary people to achieve.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

Although the ball seemed to float upwards, it was still a good ball.

Xiao Fōgaya, who no longer warms up to find his form, is indeed a difficult player to deal with on the baseball field.

"boom!"

"Qiang!"

"Foul ball!"

The bat hit the baseball, but it hit the protective netting behind it.

Wanggu High School's research on Jōgu Akatsuki is definitely not a little bit.

"Good ball! Batter out!"

But on the third pitch, Kasuga still couldn't catch the speed of the baseball and was struck out in the batter's box.

Although Fōgaya Akatsuki's rhythm is not as confusing as Sawamura's, he is definitely not easy to deal with.

Sawamura's pitches are incomprehensible because you don't know the logic behind them.

But Akira Fōgani's ball is, you know the logic of his ball.

It's just fast, nothing else.

But you just can't hit it.

This is the most worrying point.

"Fifth batter, right fielder, Yamazato-san."

Another strong hit from Wanggu High School.

Yamazato Yohei.

After the third-year students retired in the summer, Wanggu High School has been moving forward relying on these three pillars.

The three main players are: Wakabayashi Go, Kasuga Takahiro, and Yamasato Yohei.

None of them have unmatched strength.

"boom!"

"Snapped!"

A dull sound was heard, and the moment unique to Fūya Akira had arrived.

"nice shot!"

After striking out the fourth batter, Haruhi, it was clear that Fōgaya Akira had developed a fearless attitude.

With light in his eyes, he stretched his shoulders.

At this moment, he is like the big boss at the final ending of the game!
One good ball, no bad ball.

The referee also took the opportunity to compare the good balls and bad balls.

This speed is indeed amazing.

When Yamazato swung the bat, the baseball had already fallen into Miyuki's glove.

Can't hit it at all.

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

Another out!
Strikeout got it!

Akihiro Fōgaya has completed consecutive strikeouts!
With two outs and no one on base.

This situation is quite good for Qingdao High School.

But it is not difficult to see from Wakabayashi's suppression of Seidou High School's top batting line that this game is bound to be a pitchers' battle.

This will appear.

It all depends on which pitcher has the last laugh.

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

With three strikeouts, the fourth, fifth and sixth batters of Wanggu High School were eliminated in just five minutes.

One can imagine how terrifying Fōgiya Akatsuki is when he really gets going.

Director Araki sat in the lounge, his smile turning a little bitter. "I didn't expect that Furuya-san would be able to find his form faster. It's a little different from what we calculated."

Wanggu High School's tactics were obviously messed up, but there was nothing they could do at this point; the game had to go on as usual.

"Bottom of the second inning, Qingdao High School is on offense, the fourth batter, first baseman, is Zhou."

Right from the start, Zhou Hui struck.

Zhou Hui's face, as cold as ice water, made people feel scared as he walked into the batting box dragging the bat.

The outfielders of Wanggu High School, led by Yamazato, retreated a distance.

This guy's long hitting ability is so strong, it's worth being prepared.

But the development of the matter left everyone confused.

Because Lin Hao and the catcher never thought about a head-on confrontation.

The catcher stood up and walked aside.

"Bad ball."

"Bad ball."

"Bad ball."

"Ball. Ball. Walk."

If Lin Hao did not hesitate at all, he threw the balls one by one and walked Zhou Hui to the base.

It is definitely better to pass him on a walk than to face him head-on.

Averaging two home runs per game.

They dare not easily face players who can explode at any time and anywhere.

Sending the fourth batter to compete with the fifth batter is actually a good choice.

"Fifth batter, second baseman, Kominato-san."

"Whoosh!"

"Qiang!"

Haruichi swung the ball, but due to the flexibility of the wooden bat, the ball did not go far.

Instead, it hit the second baseman.

No matter how fast Zhou Hui was, there was nothing he could do.

The second baseman picked up the baseball, stepped on second base and passed it to first base.

"Out!"

"Out!"

Two strikeouts were achieved.

Higasa, who came on next, did not hit any more hits, but only hit a high fly ball to right field.

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

"Wakabayashi's fork ball is really hard to deal with."

Haruichi returned to the lounge and muttered to himself.

He really wanted a hit.

So the first ball was hit.

This also resulted in Lin Hao only throwing nine pitches in this inning.

In addition, he did not use his full strength when dealing with Zhou Hui.

This number may also be greatly discounted.

Seidou High School's plan was not to score at the beginning.

They couldn't find Ruo Lin Hao's weakness, so blindly attacking would be useless.

They need to score hard from behind.

This is also a tactic of Qingdao High School.

Top of third inning!

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

In the third inning, Akira Fōtani's power remained undiminished, and he eliminated three batters in the top half of the third inning.

Still a clean sheet.

Now Qingdao High School and Wanggu High School are the same, neither of them got a single point.

The good thing about Seidou High School is that they have a record of getting on base.

It's just the result that Lin Hao fears, and it has no value.

This game has become a pitcher's battle from beginning to end.

"Out!"

"Out!"

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

Wakabayashi Hao also blocked Qingdao High School's back line.

Just for these three outs, he used up a full twenty-five balls!

For Qingdao High School, the opportunity has come!
