Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

Looking at the situation on the field, Miyuki couldn't help but admire Yang Shunchen's prowess: "Even though there's a good chance with runners on first and third, the opponent's momentum remains undiminished."

"Third batter, pitcher, Lin Xiao..."

The announcer's voice came over the loudspeaker.

Lin Xiao slowly walked into the batter's box, a confident smile on his face:

It's my turn!

Taihetian, a reporter in the stands, frowned deeply.

With a strong lineup starting from the third batter... Seido must be planning a counterattack in this round.

"yes."

The reporter, Fujio, nodded in agreement.

"We can't let our guard down with this attacker, Ah Shun."

Mingchuan's catcher reminded Yang Shunchen again.

"What should we do?"

Yang Shunchen's eyes were firm.

"Let's settle this once and for all! Take down this hitter and we'll have complete control of the game!"

Lin Xiao looked at Yang Shunchen on the pitcher's mound and thought to himself:

"I never expected you to have such a strong will."

"That makes sense, this is your last competition."

Yang Shunchen observed the situation on the field.

"Second round strong lineup."

"Starting from this round, we'll use even more tricky shots to overwhelm you."

Lin Xiao smiled at Yang Shunchen: "But I won't let you have it!"

Yang Shunchen took a deep breath and threw with all his might.

"call out!"

"Whoosh!"

The white ball shot out like lightning.

"nice shot!"

The referee's voice rang out.

Lin Xiao was surprised: "Use outside corner kicks to accumulate enough good shots, then decide the winner with inside corner kicks!"

"Regarding this shot..."

"Ping!"

Lin Xiao swung the bat to hit the ball, but the timing was slightly off.

He concentrated all his strength into the bat without reservation.

"what!"

"call out!"

The ball felt like it was about to soar into the sky.

Yang Shun-chen: "Even though the timing of his swing was off, he still managed to bring the ball to the outfield..."

"Left fielder!"

Mingchuan's catcher shouted loudly.

Lin Xiao looked at the ball soaring high in the air: "Let's go through it!"

Mingchuan's left fielder ran back as fast as he could:

"What should we do now..."

"Anyway, pounce on him and catch him..."

Lin Xiao watched the ball still flying and prayed, "Please land soon!"

Just as Lin Xiao had expected, the ball fell faster than the outfielder could catch it.

The ball slammed into the left field and bounced up.

"Wuhu, yes!"

Lin Xiao excitedly waved his fist.

Kuramochi seized the opportunity and sprinted back to home plate, scoring a run for Seido.

Ryosuke Kominato also moved up to third base.

"Double!"

Yang Shunchen's heart sank.

"Lin Xiao kicked me out again..."

He's the most unpredictable type of player, the kind that's hardest to deal with. He throws fast, hits hard, and neither good nor bad pitches can hit him.

"Seido! Seido! Hayashi Sora!"

The cheers from the Seido cheerleaders grew even louder.

The reporter from Taiwada stood up excitedly:

"Wow...such enthusiastic cheering!"

Fujio said calmly, "The excellent situation created by Lin Xiao, a first-year team member."

"He single-handedly boosted the morale of the entire Seido."

"Can the outcome of the match be decided in one game?"

"Fourth batter, first baseman, Yuki-kun."

"We've already dropped one point."

"He's tough to deal with! Yang Shunchen, should we offer him a special pass or engage in a duel?"

"An aggressive pitch and a deliberate walk are not the same thing."

"call out!"

Yuki swung his bat without hesitation.

"Out of bounds!"

"They acted so quickly..."

Yuki exuded a compelling aura, putting immense pressure on Yang Shunchen.

"Damn it! Is it really going to fail?"

Yang Shunchen looked down at his hands, his heart filled with resentment.

"call out!"

"Whoosh!"

"Out of bounds!"

This is the fifth goal already, and we still haven't been able to overcome the formidable obstacle of Seido.

Lin Xiao, on second base, thought to himself, "They're scared of my and Yuuki-senpai's attacks, aren't they? Even precision machinery breaks down sometimes."

Yang Shunchen still couldn't face Yuki head-on; high school baseball doesn't allow for trial and error.

If you lose, you lose everything. Yang Shunchen is a rational person and cannot gamble with his pitching.

Yang Shunchen waved his arm again.

"call out!"

Even knowing they would be kicked out, they went without hesitation.

"Whoosh!"

"Ping!!"

Yuki accurately captured most of the sphere's surface area.

"call out!"

The ball bounces off home plate and flies like a cannonball toward right field.

A single!

Ryosuke Kominato immediately started running the moment he hit the ball, sprinting back to home plate!

Lin Xiao also started running at the same time. When he was about to reach third base, the runner instructed him to continue.

Without hesitation, Lin Xiao charged straight ahead.

"Pass to home plate!"

The catcher saw Lin Xiao rushing towards home plate and quickly shouted a call.

However, the ball was still a step too slow.

"Safe!"

"Snapped!"

Fujio commented, "We still can't suppress Yuuki!"

Taiwada excitedly added, "Yes! He has great ball control, but without the help of breaking balls, it's hard to deal with batters like Yuki."

"Seriously, Lin Xiao is so handsome! Long legs, and he's so fast."

The Seido cheerleading squad erupted in deafening cheers:

"They've scored on a scoring streak!"

"Captain, that's awesome!"

"Lin Xiao is too fast. He can even come back after hitting a single."

The score is now 6-0.

"Fifth batter, third baseman, Masuko."

The announcements continued over the loudspeaker.

"call out!"

"Ping!"

Masuko touched the ball.

He ran with all his might toward first base.

"Pass to first base!"

"Out!"

Taiwada was somewhat surprised: "The fifth batter is using a short bat?"

Fujio explained, "In situations like this, it's wise to be cautious and let your teammates get to base and score."

Take every point you can; don't miss any opportunity.

One out, runner on second!

Let's catch up in one go in this round!

Coach Mingchuan observed the situation on the field and thought to himself, "Are they finally starting to seriously try to score? You have to hold on here, Shunchen."

"Sixth batter, catcher, Miyuki-kun."

The announcement came on again.

"Miyuki!"

"Get a big one!"

"Let's take another point!"

In the stands, Seido's supporters shouted loudly.

Chris looked at Miyuki on the field, his heart filled with anticipation: "With one out and a runner on second, there is no more reliable hitter than him."

"It's up to you, Miyuki."

Miyuki stepped into the batter's box, silently analyzing the situation: "The wavering he showed when facing Yuki-senpai for the first time—now is the only time to defeat this pitcher."

"With the added pressure from Lin Xiao's attacks, you're about to reach your limit, aren't you?"

Lin Xiao stood at second base, observing Mingchuan's defense: "Mingchuan has chosen to play forward; it seems they don't intend to concede a single run."

Miyuki watched as the guards moved forward: "Damn it..."

"Are you planning to forcibly correct a precision machine that has already begun to malfunction?"

"Even if they give up a hit on the fourth batter, as long as they can keep the subsequent batters in check, it should be fine. It seems like that's their plan."

"This is so much fun!"

Yang Shunchen looked at Miyuki at home plate: "Superstar catcher."

"Seido High School is truly brimming with talent!"
