Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

"The runner on second base gets home and scores a run."

Just as Lin Xiao stepped onto second base, Missymen's left fielder had just picked up the baseball that was resting against the wall.

The left fielder quickly picked up the ball, turned around, and passed it out.

But Lin Xiao was already firmly standing on third base.

"Triple!"

"Missimmon's in trouble now!"

"This is a mistake in the defensive deployment!"

"In an attempt to prevent Yuki's long hit, they ended up making a mistake instead."

"Yeah! If it were a full-court defensive formation, the ball would only get to second base at most."

There was a lot of discussion in the audience.

Masuko enters the game to strike.

As a powerful hitter, once he gets his foot in the ball's path, he can blast it out of the outfield wall in one shot.

"Oh dear, this is going to be difficult."

"Stay calm, he's not good at changing the ball."

The catcher gave the pitcher a hint in an attempt to calm the team down.

The pitcher understood and nodded.

call out!

The ball flew towards home plate.

Masuko unexpectedly brought out his least frequently used short stick.

The catcher was startled: "Hit and run!"

But it was too late; Lin Xiao had already started, rushing towards home plate like an arrow released from a bow.

Masuko accurately hit the ball and began running towards first base at her fastest speed.

The pitcher was completely unprepared for Seido's hit-and-run tactics and hurriedly went down from the mound to retrieve the ball.

Lin Xiao, like a cheetah, rushed towards home plate with lightning speed and executed a stylish slide.

"Pass to first base."

Seeing Lin Xiao's speed, the catcher knew it was too late.

He had no choice but to throw to first base.

The ball has been thrown to home plate.

"Safe!"

"Safe!"

The ball was ultimately two steps slower than Lin Xiao and Zengzi.

"Ohhhh!!!"

"Another mistake?!"

"It shouldn't be considered a mistake. Lin Xiao was too fast, and his feint created an illusion for the pitcher."

Lin Xiao and Zeng Zi high-fived each other as they ran back to home plate.

"good."

Yuki really didn't expect that Lin Xiao and Masuko would actually cooperate to complete a hit-and-run maneuver.

"Good grief, now we have another reason to laugh at us."

"Lin Xiao did a great job! A single to the outfield and a hit-and-run combo—you've got guts!"

In the lounge, Miyuki Kazuya couldn't stop smiling.

"You and Masuko work together quite well."

"Damn it, if I don't get on base in the next inning, those kids will laugh me to death!"

"Isashiki Jun said with an annoyed look on his face."

Lin Xiao returned to the rest area and launched into a tirade against Mimenxi High School.

Kuramochi, Kominato Ryosuke, and Isashiki Jun, who hadn't reached base, glared at Lin Xiao through gritted teeth.

I don't know who it refers to.

Lin Xiao analyzed: "It's still because Chuan Shang's pitching is stronger than the other side's. I'm used to it, so it doesn't feel difficult to play against."

"..."

Speechless.

Kuramochi and the others were utterly speechless at Lin Xiao's Versailles.

Miyuki, the seventh batter, hit the opponent's slider on his first pitch, sending the ball flying.

Wow!

Watching the baseball fly out, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

"I didn't realize that Miyuki was quite reliable when he had someone on base."

"..."

"That damn Miyuki, he actually aimed at that ball to attack."

"I missed that ball." Kuramochi watched as Miyuki hit a home run.

"This team is indeed full of strong hitters and their skills are on point." - Catcher.

However, it was precisely because of the first three batters' at-bats that the subsequent core batting lineup was mentally prepared.

"Good luck, Kominato! Set a good example for your seniors. You too, Furuya," Lin Xiao said, offering his advice.

Kominato, blushing, lowered his head and took his bat to the batter's box.

Furuya nodded, seemingly unsure.

"Lin Xiao..." Izashiki glared at Lin Xiao menacingly.

Lin Xiao knew when to stop.

The audience saw that the eighth runner was still a freshman.

"Wow, this year is a bumper harvest in Seido!"

"He's still a first-grader who plays with wooden sticks."

"If he didn't have some ability, Coach Kataoka wouldn't have let him play."

Kominato did not disappoint, hitting a very high batting average and stunning the opposing team with a single.

"What?!"

"A wooden stick? Are you kidding me?" The opposing pitcher looked at Kominato with a surprised expression.

Kominato, the eighth batter, also reached base.

Now it's Furuya's turn, the ninth batter.

"Compared to his ball, your ball is too slow!"

"Bang!!!"

Furuya is also a powerful hitter; he swung on the very first pitch.

"Oh ho ho~ This is going to be fun!!!"

"It seems like if the opposing team doesn't bring out their ace soon, the situation is going to collapse!"

The offensive began with doubles and triples from Lin Xiao and Yuki, respectively. With the help of Seido's two aces, they crushed the opposing Mimonshi High School.

"Damn it, I'm going to get to base this time!" Kuramochi said fiercely, carrying his bat as he went out.

"Go Seido, the fastest speed ever!"

Although the rhythm wasn't great, he managed to get to base using his speed.

Ryosuke Kominato followed up with a double, and now runners are on second and third. It's the center line's turn again, putting pressure on Mimonshi High School.

The pitcher on the mound was sweating profusely: Damn it, we've already conceded six runs.

On the pitcher's mound, Mitchell's eyes were unfocused, his fingers trembled slightly as he gripped the ball, and sweat trickled down his forehead from under his hat.

The momentum from the first game was gone, and even their breathing rhythm had become disordered.

Jun Isashiki grinned, swinging his baseball bat arrogantly on his shoulder: "Come on, watch me send you flying."

The moment the white ball left his hand, Isashiki strode forward and swung his bat like a beast that had smelled blood.

With a deafening roar as the metal bat tore through the air, a powerful ground ball hurtled out from third base.

As the third baseman, Mimensey, retreated hastily, he tripped over his own cleats and fell backwards into the dusty sideline area.

Just as the entire audience held their breath, the white ball, about to cross the defense, seemed to be under a spell, landing precisely in the glove he was holding high above his head due to loss of balance.

"Out!"

"Hahaha, the ball just ran into the third baseman's glove." Lin Xiao pounded on the railing in the dugout, watching Isashiki frozen in place, maintaining his swinging posture.

Lin Xiao was laughing so hard he couldn't stand up straight.

"hateful!!"

Jun Isashiki roared and slammed his bat hard on the ground, as if to vent all his frustration.

His eyes widened as he stared intently at the pitcher on the mound, his chest heaving violently.

"Hey, Izashiki-senpai, get your act together!"

Kuramochi never imagined that when you're down on your luck, even drinking cold water can cause problems.

Ryosuke Kominato shook his head helplessly.

"Isashiki is really unlucky!"

"However, that's all for now."

"Yuki, it's your turn."

They walked steadily toward the strike zone.

"Tetsuya Yuuki, captain of Seido!"

"Can he lead Seido to further extend their lead in this game?"

murmurs rose and fell in the audience.

"Yuki's on the field, now Missymon's in trouble."

"Yes, Seido's batting lineup is terrifying."

"This game is likely to be a complete rout."

"The second round of the battle was almost over before they were eliminated."

"Sigh, Izashiki is really unlucky."
