Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

When it was Lin Xiao's turn to strike, the atmosphere instantly became tense, and everyone's eyes were focused on this crucial moment.

Lin Xiao stood in the batting box, his eyes firm and sharp, as if they could pierce through all obstacles.

He gripped his bat tightly and pointed it at Haneda in the pitcher's box: "Let me try your sinker."

Yu Tian frowned slightly, looking at Lin Xiao, and thought to himself, "Lin Xiao, you are truly a very difficult opponent."

But he was not about to back down.

Quickly adjust your mindset and prepare to throw the first ball.

On the first pitch, Haneda hit an inside corner kick.

Lin Xiao was prepared; his eyes were fixed on the ball, as if there was an invisible bond between them.

The moment the ball sank, he unleashed all his strength and swung the bat with all his might.

Unfortunately, the ball grazed the edge of the bat and went out of bounds.

Haneda was startled, thinking to himself, "Lin Xiao's reaction is quick enough; he can actually keep up with the changes in the sinker ball. It seems I can't underestimate him."

But he quickly regained his composure and prepared to throw the next ball.

On the second pitch, Haneda threw a sinker, and this time the trajectory of the ball was even more difficult to catch, but Lin Xiao still managed to hit the ball out of bounds thanks to his excellent reaction ability.

Yu Tian breathed a sigh of relief: "This Lin Xiao is indeed troublesome; we cannot let our guard down."

On the third pitch, Haneda gritted his teeth and threw a sinker. Lin Xiao stared at the ball, and relying on his keen intuition, swung his bat with all his might just as the ball was about to sink.

"Bang!"

The ball flew out like a cannonball, resulting in a double.

Ryosuke Kominato seized the opportunity to run back to home plate and score a run, making the score 6-5.

Haneda was surprised that Lin Xiao had hit his sinker, which he had kept all this time, and his mentality was momentarily unstable.

A hint of panic and resentment flashed in his eyes, and his steps became somewhat unsteady.

Lin Xiao seized the opportunity to steal a base and advance to third base, which nearly broke Yuda's spirits.

He felt like a defeated warrior, having lost his former confidence and composure.

Seeing Haneda's condition, Coach Sakura silently prayed in her heart: "Haneda, you must hang in there."

Miyuki proved to be reliable at the crucial moment.

With a runner on base, he calmly adjusted his strategy and hit a single. Lin Xiao successfully returned to home plate, scoring another run.

The score is now 7-5, with Seido High School's advantage becoming more obvious. Two outs and a runner on first.

Haneda, as expected of Sakura's ace pitcher, quickly adjusted his mindset. He took a deep breath and regained his confidence and composure.

His throws were more accurate and powerful, and he successfully defeated Shirasu.

After three outs, the roles of attacker and defender were reversed again.

Seeing that Haneda hadn't completely collapsed, the Seido team members couldn't help but admire his strength.

In the top of the ninth inning, Sakura High School launched their final attack.

If they don't score in this half, they will lose the game. But Lin Xiao wouldn't give them that chance.

Fourth batter Osamu Miyama stood in the batter's box, thinking, "I have to score, I can't just lose like this." He gripped his bat tightly, a resolute look in his eyes.

But he seemed somewhat powerless when facing Lin Xiao's pitches.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strikeout!"

Miyama Osamu dejectedly put down his bat and walked back to the dugout with his head down. His heart was filled with resentment and helplessness.

Fifth batter Haneda was filled with resentment: "I can't let this end like this, there's still a chance." He went back to the pitcher's mound, trying to turn the tide.

But Lin Xiao's pitching was just too powerful; he simply couldn't defend against it.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strikeout!"

Haneda's eyes were filled with despair and pain. He lowered his arm helplessly and slowly walked back to the rest area. He felt that he had let the team down.

With the final leg, Lin Xiao channeled all his power into the ball and threw it.

His eyes revealed an unwavering belief in victory, as if he were releasing all the pressure.

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"Strikeout!"

With the elimination of the last six batters from Yinghua High School, Lin Xiao has now struck out eight batters in a row.

The Yinghua High School team watched in despair as Lin Xiao struck out their center batter, but they rallied and prepared to defend their position for the final inning.

They knew that even if they lost the game, they had to maintain their dignity and fighting spirit.

Despite his sadness, Haneda persevered with unwavering determination.

They secured the final three eliminations. Although they lost the match, their fighting spirit deserves respect.

"Kanto Tournament Finals, Seido High School VS Sakura High School, final score 7:5."

"Seido High School wins."

"Congratulations to Seido High School for winning the championship of this year's Kanto Tournament."

An exciting announcement came over the loudspeaker, and the entire stadium erupted in cheers.

【Ding】

[Winner of the Kanto Tournament]

[Awarded National Endurance Test]

Lin Xiao excitedly ran onto the field, where he was greeted by thunderous cheers.

He won his first championship at Seido High School.

The joy and sense of accomplishment made him feel that all his efforts had not been in vain.

Kuramochi, Kominato Ryosuke, Isashiki, and Yuki all ran towards Lin Xiao, lifted him up, and tossed him high into the air.

Celebrate this hard-won victory.

The audience's enthusiasm reached its peak, with the entire venue chanting Lin Xiao's name.

Reporter Fujio Mine pondered, "Lin Xiao's rise has further enhanced the strength of Seido and his group."

"With their current roster and morale, they will definitely be strong contenders for the championship at the Summer Conference."

Akiko Owada, standing beside her, offered a similar analysis: "But we also need to be careful about the opponent's research and countermeasures, after all, other strong teams won't just sit idly by."

"After all, West Tokyo is the most competitive region."

Daocheng Industrial's fourth batter and second-year ace pitcher, Narumiya Mei, were particularly impressed by Lin Xiao's performance.

Lin Xiao's fame and domineering presence inspired the entire audience to cheer for him.

Narumiya Mei thought with childlike pride, "I wasn't bad either when I was in first grade!"

Seeing this, Daocheng Industrial's fourth batter said, "Ming, you must carefully study and treat each of your opponents. Lin Xiao is indeed very strong, and we must take him seriously."

The smoke of the Kanto Tournament has cleared, and the news of Seido High School's victory is like a bombshell.

It's important to know that the Kanto Tournament isn't a very important competition.

However, the participating teams are all quite strong.

They are among the top baseball players in high schools across the country and even in various regions.

Lin Xiao, as a key figure in the team's championship victory, once again caused a sensation across the country with his outstanding performance on the court, especially his superb ability to both shoot and hit.

His amazing high-speed fastball and his ability to turn the tide in crucial moments.

It captivated countless viewers and instilled fear in many rivals.

At the same time, Furuya also came into everyone's view due to Seido High School's outstanding performance.

In the game against Tsukuba High School, Furuya displayed impressive pitching skills.

A high-speed straight shot also puts tremendous pressure on the opponent.

Most of the attention was focused on Lin Xiao.

Everyone is speculating about the limits of this young first-year student.

After all, there are very few players in high school baseball who are good at both pitching and hitting.

It is truly amazing that Lin Xiao can perform at such a high level in both pitching and hitting.

Lin Xiao's spectacular appearance at the Kanto Tournament not only attracted the attention of many fans.

This even attracted managers from some professional baseball teams to come and observe.

They keenly sensed that this young player possessed enormous potential.

Perhaps in the near future, he will be able to make a name for himself in the professional arena.
