Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

The person who was caught complained about the person who struck out.

The other members of Inashiro looked at each other, speechless at Narumiya Mei's rant.

But he was powerless to refute it; at least he could knock it out.

After two sets, the score is 4-0, with Seido leading.

The audience's eyes were fixed on the figure on the pitcher's mound.

"Lin Xiao!"

"Lin Xiao!"

The commentator's voice was full of passion.

"On this grand stage, and against championship contender Daocheng Industry!"

"Lin Xiaoqi's outstanding pitching makes it hard to believe he's only a freshman!"

"The final match of the West Tokyo Tournament, between Seido High School and Inashiro Industrial."

"As you can see, the outfield stands are also open."

"The crowd is still pouring into the stadium."

"How many years has it been since Jingu Stadium opened its outfield stands for a high school baseball game?!"

"This match is just that captivating!"

In the bottom of the third game, Seido's offensive efforts still failed to gain momentum.

"Ping!"

A crisp sound of the ball hitting the ground rang out.

Narumiya Mei shouted excitedly.

"Big brother, please help me!"

Baihe leaps and dives towards the baseball.

"good!"

"Snapped!"

The baseball landed steadily in Baihe's glove.

Referee: "Out!"

The commentator spoke at a rapid pace.

"Shortstop Shirakawa's brilliant pass catch! He prevented a potential hit!"

"Will Seido High School's attack in the third inning end in a three-in-three-out sequence?"

Discussions arose again from the audience.

"They couldn't even get past that ball; their defense was too tight."

"What, are you on Seido's side?"

No, that's not it.

"Is that rice grain?"

"No, not exactly."

"That shortstop is only in second grade, right?"

"Narimiya doesn't seem to have adjusted to his current form yet; his pitching is still a bit inconsistent."

"His pitching is still incredibly strong, like he's on steroids."

"People who are good at rice cultivation still can't see through that kind of straightforward approach."

"It's proceeding exactly according to Seido's pace right now."

"His pitching looks impressive, but Inami also uses his foul balls to keep the ball close and won't strike out easily."

"Is it okay for that first-year pitcher to be throwing so hard?"

"With a successor to the Seido team, they'll let Lin Xiao perform to the best of his ability."

"That's true, after all, there are still former ace players left behind."

"Six strikeouts in a row, this...this guy is really..."

"How many balls are there?"

"By the end of the third set, there were a total of 35 points."

"The number of balls is surprisingly low."

In the Seido rest area, Coach Fujio looked at the situation on the field with a furrowed brow.

"At the end of the third inning, Inashiro is still without a hit."

The reporter from Taiwada also looked surprised.

"I never expected things to develop this way."

"Seido will be playing a strong lineup this game."

"If I can score, I can finally..."

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Seido attacked.

Narumiya Mei stood on the pitcher's mound, his eyes gloomy.

"Watch the game!"

The third batter, Jun Isashiki, stepped into the batter's box and swung.

"Ping!"

The baseball was hit and flew high into the center field.

Izashiki Jun let out a low growl of frustration.

"hateful!"

The commentator's voice was filled with regret.

"What a pity! He was caught and killed by a mid-range player!"

"However, we're gradually able to anticipate the ball's trajectory, so there's great potential!"

The broadcast started.

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

"call out!"

The ball flew in like lightning.

"boom!"

Yuki swings the bat.

"Snapped!"

The baseball went into the glove with precision.

Narumi clenched his fist excitedly.

"Got it!"

Referee: "Good shot! The batter is out!"

Narumiya Mei roared again.

"Yay!"

Cheers erupted from the audience.

"Great shot!"

"Nirimiya, well done!"

The referee's voice rang out again.

"Three players eliminated, change of venue!"

The reporter looked at Coach Fujio.

"Yuki struck out twice in a row."

Coach Fujio looked serious.

"This time, they used a change-up shot as a cover... and ended up using a straight shot."

In the rest area of ​​Seido, Sawamura looked at Miyuki Kazuya with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong with the captain? Is he not feeling well?"

Miyuki shook his head.

"No, it shouldn't be."

Kuramochi frowned, his tone displeased.

"That...that bastard is clearly more..."

Lin Xiao stood aside, watching Yuki Tetsuya walk back, and finally couldn't help but complain.

"Are you guys missing a screw in your heads? Why do you always aim for change-up balls?"

"Why do you keep waiting for the change-of-speed ball when the signal is so obvious?"

"I just don't understand."

Lin Xiao's voice, filled with barely suppressed anger, echoed in the stuffy rest area.

He was already annoyed by the sticky weather, and his teammates' slow reaction to Narumiya Mei only added fuel to the fire.

The Seido team members all lowered their heads, their faces burning with embarrassment, speechless.

Chris watched Lin Xiao reprimand him without any politeness, but a smile of satisfaction appeared on his lips.

"It seems I don't need to say anything more."

Coach Kataoka crossed his arms and watched silently, without saying a word to stop it.

Some things, in the end, they need to understand and break through on their own.

The commentator's voice rang out at the right time.

"Seido's offensive, which started with a strong lineup, also ended in a three-up, three-down game."

"Inashiro Industrial's ace pitcher, Narumiya Mei, seems to be slowly regaining his pitching touch."

The roles of offense and defense were reversed, and it was Daocheng Industrial's turn to attack.

The announcement echoed throughout the stadium.

"Seventh batter, second baseman, Hirai Tsubasa."

Hirai Tsubasa walked into the batting area, catching his breath.

Lin Xiao stood on the pitcher's mound, his eyes calm, as if his previous agitation had been forcibly suppressed.

The first goal.

"call out!"

The ball's trajectory was tricky, and the batter's swing missed.

Scattered murmurs arose from the audience.

"Carlos..."

"Lin Xiao..."

The second goal.

"call out!"

The baseball veered off the strike zone again and hit the ground.

Bad ball.

The third goal.

"call out!"

Another bad ball, this one was way off target.

"Both shots were off target by a large margin."

"Was it too forceful?"

Miyuki immediately stood up and gestured for a timeout to the referee.

Seido's throwing and catching partner decisively chose to request a pause at this moment.

After a brief exchange, the competition continued.

Lin Xiao stood still again and took a deep breath.

"call out!"

Tsubasa Hirai swings.

"Ping!"

The baseball bounced high and flew towards second base.

The warehouse moved swiftly and caught the fish steadily.

"Out!"

That shot was so tricky; you could call it a good shot, or you could call it a bad shot.

Such subtle rulings can sometimes easily alter the flow of the game.

It's the next batter's turn.

"call out!"

"Ping!"

The baseball rolled toward the pitcher's mound.

"Lin Xiao, just throw to first base, make sure he's out!" Miyuki shouted.

Lin Xiao calmly picked up the ball, turned around, and accurately threw it to first base.

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

Inashi's ninth batter failed to pose a threat and was cleanly struck out by Lin Xiao.

In this round, Daocheng Industry still failed to score any points against Lin Xiao.
