Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 64 Ding Ding Ding! Sawamura Arrives
Although the start of the bottom of the third inning was exciting, after Zhou Hui hit a beautiful triple, Chris added a hit and sent Zhou Hui back to home plate, but Qingdao High School did not continue, making the "fairy start" created by Zhou Hui and Chris become a bubble.

In this inning, Qingdao High School's batting line seemed to suddenly go cold, and only Chris and Zhou Hui were able to maintain their normal level.

Even Yuki didn't get a chance to show off his skills.

Yang Shunchen is not yet physically exhausted.

Although the score is now 5:1, Yang Shunchen is not completely exhausted and should not underestimate the Mingchuan Academy team.

They still have great possibilities.

Before the start of the top of the fourth inning, Akira Fōtani had already put on his gloves and was stretching next to the rest area, ready to go on the court at any time.

"Fourth Valley, you can come down this round now."

Supervisor Kataoka said coldly.

These words were like the weather in western Tokyo in March, which immediately cooled down Akihiro Kouya's eager heart.

"Supervisor, I can continue. I still have the energy."

Said Akihiro Kouya, obviously he didn't want to go down so soon.

"I didn't say you don't have enough stamina or you're not fit for today's game."

Director Kataoka said firmly.

As soon as these words came out, Jōgō Aki was stunned and felt terrible.

Not suitable for today's game.

It’s not that I don’t trust myself, but that I don’t trust myself.

Xiao Jiangu understood everything at once.

"I will arrange for Sawamura to pitch for you in the next game, so you just need to rest down there."

After saying this, Director Kataoka's gaze no longer lingered on Fūya Akira.

"Notification of substitution of players for Qingdao High School. Notification of substitution of players for Qingdao High School."

"Replacement?"

Mingchuan Gakuen's ears pricked up.

Because they didn't know why Qingdao High School wanted to make a substitution, nor did they know who would be substituted, so they listened very carefully.

During the game, every substitution may have a great impact on the game.

Some can even directly change the course of the game.

"The pitcher, Furuya-san, will be taking a rest, and Sawamura-san will be taking his place."

"Changed vote?"

Supervisor Ogata is a bit confused.

It is obvious that Kouyou Xiao can suppress their batting line very well, so why make a substitution at this time?

Although Qingdao High School is now leading 5:1, everyone who has watched the game knows that apart from the first four points, the last point was not easy to come by.

Changing the starting lineup so easily is not a good thing for Qingdao High School.

Yang Shunchen's condition has improved, and it is impossible for Qingdao High School to underestimate the enemy.

Why replace such a good pitcher at such a critical moment?

Do not understand.

"That pitcher, is he still a freshman?"

Yang Shunchen pushed up his glasses and looked toward the pitcher's mound.

Another unfamiliar face.

Although Yang Shunchen and Shiratori and others had gone to watch Seidou High School's game before, their attention was on Fūya Akatsuki and no one paid attention to Sawamura.

That's why they speculated about Sawamura's grade.

"So, Qingdao has recruited a lot of good first-year pitchers this year?"

Supervisor Ogata also reacted at this time.

The reason why Seidou High School failed to make it to Koshien in the previous few years was because of their pitching.

So this year they used all of their first-year recruiting resources on pitchers.

The pitching staff of Seidou High School is not very strong now, but it is definitely sufficient.

At least they can try the follow-up pitching tactics that have never been used before.

From then on, there was one more tactic in Coach Kataoka's tactical manual.

"Ahahahahahahahaha, such an important occasion really requires me, Sawamura, to come to the rescue!"

When he was trying to pitch, Sawamura was standing on the pitcher's mound and laughing.

"Kid, can you please take a closer look at the score?"

Isajiki Jun couldn't help it and shouted at Sawamura.

It is true that they are leading in the score now, but Seidou High School definitely cannot say that they have reached the point where they can win stably.

Isajiki Jun's words were more to wake up Sawamura and tell him to stop talking big and dreaming. "What's wrong with the score? Do you look down on us so much?"

Isajiki Jun's voice was so loud that even Yang Shunchen in the lounge could hear it.

How can you say such disrespectful words so loudly?

Yang Shunchen pointed his finger at Kunimi who was preparing to go on stage.

"We have to get hits no matter what. We can't let them look down on us."

"No problem, just watch me!"

Kunimi was also very confident.

He had never seen the pitcher on the opposing team before, and considering his nickname, it was obvious that he was not someone who could call the shots.

Beating him up would be just a piece of cake.

"Top of the fourth inning, Mingchuan Academy is on offense, the seventh batter, first baseman, Kunimi-san."

Kunimi is a first baseman with a face that looks like the Chinese character “国” (national Chinese character). His name is just as his appearance suggests.

"Sawamura, take it easy, we still have a big advantage now."

"Yes!"

Sawamura tried his best to relax, his whole body felt light-hearted and his expression gradually became distorted.

"What's that guy's expression?"

Yuki felt a little uncomfortable sitting in the lounge.

"kick off!"

After hearing the command "kick off", Sawamura also became serious and his eyes changed quickly.

"What does this guy mean?"

After seeing Sawamura's expression, Kunimi also gradually became nervous.

He wasn't like this just now.

"Whoosh!"

A white light flashed, and the baseball disappeared.

It was as if what Sawamura threw out of his hand just now was a beam of light, not a baseball.

This kind of playing style will really make many people feel at a loss.

Although Sawamura does not have as explosive a pitching speed as Fōgiya Akira, he is definitely a pitcher who can play for Seidou High School.

"Where's the ball?!"

Kunimi couldn't see the ball and became very anxious.

"coming."

By the time he saw the baseball, it was too late!

The baseball is already at hand, and it is definitely too late to swing at it now.

But there was no way, the ball looked very sweet, right next to his hand, the kind that he could touch with a swing of the bat.

This temptation forced Kunimi to swing the bat.

"Qiang!"

"late!"

Although he hit the target, the first reaction of Kunihime when he felt the shock was that he swung the weapon too late.

"Snapped!"

Sawamura raised his hand and the baseball went into Sawamura's glove.

Sawamura lowered his head, looking very handsome.

The baseball was caught before it even hit the ground.

Catch the kill!

"Out!"

The referee didn't hesitate.

"So handsome!"

"Genius!"

"You have this trick up your sleeve!"

“The reaction has improved!”

When he heard everyone praising him, Sawamura couldn't help himself anymore and couldn't hide his excitement.

"Ahahahahahahaha! This is me, Lord Sawamura! Awesome!"
