Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 89 For Chris!
"Referee, hurry up, hurry up, stop the game."

Coach Kataoka was very anxious and immediately called for a timeout to the referee.

Chris's slide just now was indeed too big, and coupled with his previous injury, a relapse is not impossible.

“Pause…temporarily!”

The referee also called a timeout in a panic and called for medical staff to come up quickly.

The medical staff of the Summer Games ran up to second base and checked Chris's injuries.

"Master Chris."

"Chris, Senior."

"Chris, are you okay?"

All the students of Seidou High School also climbed out of the locker room and ran towards second base.

Seeing this, the referee did not stop it.

Since they are referees, they must be baseball fans as well, and naturally know the importance of Chris to Seidou High School.

Qingdao High School has had a really tough time this year!

In the training match with Kiryu High School, their ace pitcher Tamba was injured, which made Seidou High School worried for a while.

Now, their first catcher Chris is also likely to be injured and unable to play in the next game, even the game against Daocheng Industrial.

"How about it?"

Zhou Hui asked anxiously.

The emotion of not maintaining a 100% batting average just now also disappeared.

According to the rules of the competition, the coaches are not allowed to enter the venue. Coach Kataoka could only watch from the lounge and could not pray for Chris.

"Stretcher, take him out."

The medical staff did not answer Zhou Hui, but asked his companions to prepare a stretcher.

But looking at Chris's clenched teeth and his covered ankle, I knew it was not a good thing.

"Senior Chris..."

"You must hit a home run in this game."

Chris gave Zhou Hui a thumbs up, showing great confidence in his upcoming performance.

Chris has actually been very conflicted.

If I hadn't taught him to swing horizontally, would Zhou Hui have been able to hit more home runs?

Zhou Hui nodded and followed the medical staff back to the lounge.

"Supervisor, please switch to another runner immediately."

The referee ran over to remind Coach Kataoka.

"I see."

Then Director Kataoka looked at Miyuki. At this time, Miyuki was the only one who could replace Chris.

If Chris had not been selected into the first team, he would be the first catcher of Seidou High School.

"Listen everyone, Chris is out again due to injury. But the game is far from over. We must not let Chris down. We must show a higher spirit to face the next game. I won't say anything else. I just hope everyone will go all out."

"Yuuki, give the order!"

Director Kataoka said to Yuki.

"Everybody, let's keep scoring, for Chris!"

"For Chris!"

The atmosphere in the Qingdao High School lounge immediately became lively, which made coach Kataoka very pleased.

"Seidou High School substitution notice, second base runner Chris left the game due to injury, now replaced by Miyuki. Second base runner Chris left the game due to injury, now replaced by Miyuki."

After changing his equipment, Miyuki walked to second base.

At this moment, the genius with protective goggles is back!

"Kazuya, are you finally back?"

Cheng Gong Ming pinched his chin and looked at Yuki with a haughty look.

"Sixth batter, center fielder, Isashiki-san."

"For Chris, I'm going to hit you this time no matter what."

After Isashiki Jun stood up, he gritted his teeth and looked at Miyuki at second base. He swore that he would send the ball back to Miyuki no matter what and get this damn point.

"You look so scary, I just hope you're not a paper tiger." Sanada looked at Isashiki Jun and didn't feel very scared.

Isajiki Jun's fighting style has always been like beating a master to death with a random stick, with no rules at all.

For the batters from Pharmacist High School, it was nothing.

It's just like a small witch meeting a big witch.

Pharmacist High School has reached this position with their batting line. They have seen stronger batting lines and are not at all inferior to them.

"Whoosh!"

After seeing the baseball coming, Isajiki Jun used his mouth to exert force, as if he was hitting the ball with his teeth.

The body drives the arms to swing the bat.

"Qiang!"

The huge impact force hit the baseball, and Isajiki Jun's pupils dilated.

This ball is for Chris!
"Fly out! Fly out!"

As soon as Jun Isashiki hit the baseball, he began to "talk" to the baseball, as if the baseball could really hear him.

Miyuki started running, fearing that if he ran one step too far he would fail to live up to the blow from Isajiki Jun.

Unfortunately, the baseball stopped flying when it reached the edge of center field, allowing Abe to catch it.

"Snapped!"

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

"Ah! What a pity!"

Isajiki Jun clapped his hands, ran back helplessly, with an unhappy look on his face.

"Although we didn't score, I've seen everyone's fighting spirit. If you want to enter Koshien, you must maintain this momentum and take me to Koshien!"

Director Kataoka pushed up his sunglasses.

Upon hearing Coach Kataoka's request, several senior students stared at each other in bewilderment.

"Yes, the coach was the ace pitcher of Koshien when he was a player! We can't let the coach's coaching career become less exciting because of us!"

"That is to say, we must go to Koshien with our supervisor!"

"Come on!"

Everyone put their hands together and pointed to the sky in unison, in perfect unison.

"Top of the fourth inning, Yakushi High School is on offense, fifth batter, center fielder, Abe-san."

Seidou High School, which lost its top catcher, doesn't seem that depressed, and there's still some warmth in everyone's eyes.

Perhaps, they didn't want the game to end so soon.

What's more, they are still in the lead and the victory is in their own hands. This feeling is simply too good to be true.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

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

In just five minutes, Akira Fōtani struck out three batters in one go, helping the team switch between offense and defense and ending this inning of defense.

Fōgiya Xiao was very calm. He threw down the baseball and ran towards the locker room, leaving the field to Yakushi High School.

"Okay!"

"Four Valley, you really have some skills!"

"You are indeed a strong contender for the ace title!"

"That's it. Let's make sure those pharmacists can't hold their heads up high!"

"This year's Koshien, it's our turn to go to Seidou!"

The audience went wild.

With the cheerleading team of Maezono and Kanemaru, the cheers became even louder.

This time, they must go to Koshien!
