Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 340 Tojo's Redemption

"So strong."

Zhou Hui couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Hong Lei Shi running the base.

There may really be very few hitters who can match me.

Honglei City can indeed be considered one of them.

His long hitting ability and home run ability are really no worse than mine.

Now Honglei City is just following Zhou Hui's rhythm. No matter what results he achieves, Honglei City will naturally follow suit.

The two are now evenly matched.

But if this continues, Qingdao High School will have a greater chance of winning.

As long as no one other than Hong Leishi can hit a hit in Pharmacist High School, no matter how many home runs Hong Leishi hits, the value of each run will only be one point.

At the current pace, Honglei City will only have two or three more chances to attack.

Even if he used all of his strengths, as long as the other players from Pharmacist High School did not perform outstandingly, they would still not be able to catch up or even surpass the team.

Faced with such a huge score gap, even Pharmacist High School would probably have no choice but to admit defeat.

There is no other way.

"Bottom of the fourth inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the eighth batter, center fielder, is Tojo-san."

Apart from Honglei City, Pharmacist High School would hardly pose a threat to Zhou Hui.

Even in the subsequent attacks, when Sanada joined in, it was still the same.

After Yakushi High School only scored one point in the top of the fourth inning, they were dragged into the next inning by Seidou High School.

This time, the attack on Seidou High School started with Tojo.

Although Tojo's striking ability has always been questioned, especially after he entered the starting lineup, the outside world's doubts about him have become louder and louder.

After all, Jin Wan, who has similar strength to him, is still on the bench, so why should he be in the starting lineup?

After entering the starting lineup, his weak performance may be closely related to these doubts.

Everyone thinks that the three outfield players of Seidou High School should be: Naomichi Seki, Hakusu and Takashi Aso.

It has nothing to do with him.

But Tojo's performance today was still good.

He contributed a hit in his first at-bat, which was considered a redemption for himself.

But I don’t know if I can continue against Sanada.

"Whoosh!"

The first ball came at a very tricky angle, which made Tojo very uncomfortable. He held his breath and looked at the ball.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball."

"what?"

After hearing the referee's decision, Sanada, who was just feeling proud of himself, suddenly lost his composure, slipped, and fell on the pitcher's mound.

This scene also caused laughter from the audience.

“Hahahahahaha, that’s hilarious.”

"Is this the ace pitcher of Yakushi High School?"

"It seems that the fourth baton of Pharmacist High School is not the only one who is funny."

"Hahaha, a training base for comedians."

Faced with the laughter of the whole audience, Sanada could no longer stand up.

He is also a man who cares about his reputation. How can he stand upright amid the ridicule?
He is an ace pitcher, doesn't he have any dignity?

But in the end, Sanada slowly stood up.

After all, the game has to go on.

But when he stood up, his dusty appearance caused bursts of laughter from everyone present.

Sanada instantly felt humiliated, his face turned red, and he felt ashamed.

In the catcher's box, Qiu Ye, who had already stood there, didn't know for a moment when he would throw the ball back.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."

Seeing that Sanada made no move to catch the ball, Akiba first apologized to Tojo and the referee, then looked over with an unhappy look on his face.

Tojo was also considerate and introverted, so he didn't say much and just smiled apologetically.

The referee is also neutral.

In any match, you can’t show a bias towards one team, otherwise the pressure from public opinion will be huge. This is true not only for the referees but also for the commentators.

Without professional training, it is impossible to be qualified for these two positions.

Those who serve as referees and commentators in such competitions are the best of the best.

The professionalism is definitely impressive.

Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, Qiu Ye did not express it.

There was nothing he could do. After all, the man on the pitcher's mound was his senior, so he couldn't say anything.

Besides, he himself was not a particularly good catcher and had no right to say anything to the ace pitcher of Pharmacist High School.

Akiba is a player who can play any position, and his main position is not just catcher.

He can play anything, and he is not a full-time catcher.

But even so, Pharmacist High School has been able to produce a competent catcher in him in the past few years.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have become the team’s main catcher in his first year.

Although the back numbers are not arranged like this, this is actually the case.

It cannot be said that there is no selfish motive on the part of Hong Lei Zang, but more importantly, Qiu Ye’s own strength accounts for a large part.

"Stop smiling, the next ball will be in the high outside corner."

Qiu Ye also started to change the balls.

Just the high position in the inside corner will not only make people aesthetically fatigued, but the players of Qingdao High School will naturally know what is going on after taking a few glances.

It's not difficult for them to fight back.

"Whoosh!"

Baseball's position suddenly changed.

It moves horizontally to a point that is difficult for batters to reach.

"Qiang!"

Tojo's bat hit the flying ball hard, and the force pushed the baseball out of bounds.

"Out of bounds."

Now, it's a good and a bad situation.

"So heavy and sharp."

Feeling the power of Tojo's ball, Tojo suddenly felt that he might not be his opponent.

His playing style is very similar to Sawamura's.

And the reason why Sawamura wanted to learn the cutter in the first place was because of this pitcher.
