"Great work! ~”

"It's hard work~~"

"Ahh~~ What a pity just now, it's just a little bit! ~”

"That's it, it's just that the seniors have worked so hard, as long as a little more time comes out, we can successfully get on base and get the scoring point...... Alas~~"

At the entrance of the rest area on the other side, the last hitter in the first half of the 8th round of Aoba Dodai High School, Kudo, who had 7 sticks, walked in dejectedly. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"I'm sorry, guys, but I still can't get you a chance to continue the blow! ~" Kudo said apologetically bowing his head to the big guy.

"Heh, Kudo, the past is over, let's hurry up and prepare how to defend the next game and a half!"

"yes, let's get ready! ~”

"Hai~" Kudo was very moved and agreed.

You must know that the current game has reached the 8th game of the end stage, and they are still in a backward situation in terms of scores!

In such a situation, every opportunity to attack on the offensive end, every blow of the number of balls, that is not desperate and desperate to fight for victory!

But even so, sometimes the ending is not perfect, which is why regret is one of the main emotions that often happens in Koshien Stadium!

After the attack in the first half of the game returned without attack, Aoba Dotai High School had to think carefully about the defense of the next half of the game.

At this point, they are 1-0 behind, and if they are given another chance to get on base, the game will be even more difficult!

After all, the current opponent is the kind of 9 people in the new academy who don't move, and one move is definitely a one-hit kill!

But fortunately, the garrison strength of Aoba Dodai High School is not vegetarian.

In the second half of the game, the beaters at the head of the new academy were like chicken blood, and they took turns screaming on the field against the pitcher Kasuga Cloud of Aoba Dodai High School, and launched a desperate attack wave!

The first is their 4-stick strong hit Akagi, this guy has the experience of successfully hitting the Kasugayun ordinary Thousand Illusion Ball when he attacked last time.

So for him, Kasugamo is absolutely 200% serious.

The first pitch of Hasugamo did not spare his hand, and directly hit an ultra-high-speed outside corner phantom cut ball with a ball speed of more than 150, so that Akagi, who has to be the 4th baton of the new academy, can only be out of reach.

After the first good ball, the second ball Kasugamo did not pull a diagonal attack, but continued the route of the first ball, throwing the ball at almost the same speed, but using a thousand slides to hit the outside and lower corners.

Akagi on the side of the new academy naturally did not have any response, he had tried very hard to resist the route of the baseball with the bat in his hand, but after all, he was still unable to resist the kaleidoscopic sudden line-changing attack of the thousand phantom ball of the spring clouds, and let the latter get another 1 good ball with a swing of the bat.

After waiting for the two good balls, Aoba Dotai High School's catcher Yasuno did not consider the strategy of using the suppression of the 3rd ball, and directly configured a lore shot for Kasuga, the good ball with the red dot in the middle of the ball, and the thousand butterfly ball!

"Whew!! ~”

I saw that the baseball had just come out, and the strong momentum that pierced the air had begun to form its unique power base.

Coupled with the special finger pressure and pitching action when the spring cloud came out of the ball, the baseball drew a fluttering ball path in the air that was not a straight line, but a little straight, and struck towards the home plate.

"Bang!! ~”

Akagi in the strike zone couldn't help but curse a foul word, he didn't hit the ball at all, and in the end he could only watch the baseball enter the base and slam into the catcher Anno's body, and only after blocking it did he catch the ball.

"Whoop! ~”

This will even Anye can't help but curse: Damn, this kind of ball in the spring is complete nonsense! ~~Hiss~~ It really hurts to hit someone, bastard~~~

But on the surface, Anye endured the pain of being smashed and showed a happy and excited look, and shouted words of encouragement to the Kasuga cloud on the pitcher's mound: "Yo Xi, good throw, Kasuga-kun, come again, come again, kill him with one ball, and win 1 out!" ~”

One more ball, this will make Anno know how to let Kasuga clouds leisurely.

In the case of Kasuga's cloud receiving 1 point of force, the next goal Anno finally succeeded in relying on Akagi's empty bat as a basis for judgment, and put Kasuga's 10000 magic ball with a speed of 153.88 km/h into the glove.

"Yay!! ~”

"1 out, 1 out! ~”

"Come on, Kasuga-kun, do it again! ~”

"Come on, come on! ~”

"Roar, roar, roar~~ Aoba Dodai High School, win! ~”

After the first out, the rest of the guard positions on the field were excited, and they all greeted the pitcher on the hill with words of encouragement.

Taking advantage of the momentum of solving the attack of the opponent's strongest batter, Kasugamo used all his methods and abilities when facing the 5 and 6 batters of the new academy in the future, but fortunately, he finally blocked all the possibilities of the new academy to get the number of bases and even the score on their heads.

After returning to the rest area, all the main players of Aoba Dodai High School fell silent, completely lacking the radiant appearance of the past.

Akai stomped his feet on the side, Kobayashi was silently wiping his own wooden bat, Aihara held one end of the bat and propped it on the ground, Hayakawa played with the baseball in his hand, Yasuno hammered his gloves with his hand from time to time, and Hoshino, Kudo and Endo were also silent on their sides.

"It's not enough, it's not enough! ......" Kasugayun muttered to himself as he sat on the bench and said what was in his heart: "Our attack is not enough, far from enough!" ”

Yasuno said: "After all, the opponent's pitcher's ball is also a natural individual skill, although we can quickly find a relatively weak point of his current attack, but if we want to hit the ball well and with confidence, we still need time!" ”

Aihara said: "But it's obvious that we don't have enough time for the moment~~"

“~~~~”

Speaking of this, everyone fell silent again.

All the people can't help but think with some pessimism in their hearts: we ...... Is this going to lose!? ~~

…………………………

The pause for the exchange of offense and defense passed quickly, and then the 9th game began with a gloomy mood at Aoba Dodai High School and others!

The first hitter to take the field, the 8-batter Endo, carried the bat to the court with a look of swear, and went on the court to carry out his last strike.

But......

"Whew~~"

"Pong! ~”

"Good shot! ~”

"Whew~~"

"Pong! ~”

"2 good shots! ~”

2 consecutive attacks to the death, Endo has done the best attack within his ability, but unfortunately here, the people on the side of the new academy seem to know that there will be such a game on the side of Aoba Dotai High School, so that their pitcher Irie 3 balls are all pitched with the ball of deception.

And as a result, it is not surprising that they succeeded in preemptively chasing the beater Endo.

Just 1 more good shot!

One more good shot, Endo's attack, the last third offensive opportunity of Aoba Dodai High School in this game, was declared a failure!

Needless to say, what an exciting picture it will be in the stands at the end of the new academy and the new fans!

"1 out, 1 out, 1 out......"

In the stands, a large number of slogans sounded in unison with the announcement of the results of Aoba Dodai High School, and this wave of sound hit the hearts of everyone at Aoba Dodai High School like a heavy hammer.

Lose!

Or win!?

We want to win, we want to win!! ~

But what does it take to win!? How on earth can we capture that fleeting victory plane!?

Who can tell me, who can tell us!! ……

At this time, Endo, who was standing in the strike zone, almost let out a shouting roar in his heart, but on the surface he did not feel the slightest carelessness, and paid close attention to all the movements of the pitcher on the hill to make the new college pitcher into the river.

"Endo! ~”

A call suddenly caught the attention of Endo, who was already nervous to the point of collapse, and he looked for prestige to see the coach Kawano smiling faintly at him in front of the door of the rest area.

Coach Kawano said to him, "Do you remember what you said when you joined the baseball club!?" ”

"Ahh

In the strike zone, Endo was quickly guided by what coach Kawano said, recalling what he said loudly to a large group of seniors in the baseball club at the entrance ceremony when he first entered high school and joined the baseball club two years ago.

"Report to the senior, the reason why I joined the baseball club is: men, must endure loneliness, in order to keep the prosperity; I wanted to be such a man, so I chose baseball, which would give me energy in my loneliness! ”

I remember that this was how Endo seemed to say that at that time.

"Endure loneliness...... Can we keep the prosperity!? ~~”

For a moment, Endo seemed to remember something, and suddenly realized that he secretly exclaimed in his heart: Yes, that's it! …… When I was young, I was practicing baseball by myself, because my family lived in the middle of nowhere, but even so, I survived for a few years, and in the end, I didn't have a large group of such good friends, and I had such an opportunity to almost grasp the dream in my heart now!?

I've survived all the difficult days before, and I'm afraid that this difficulty won't work now!

No, no, I'm not going to be afraid!

Don't give up, Endo, you still have a chance to get it back, there's still a chance, as long as it's ......

Thinking of this, a cold light burst out in Endo's eyes, he got his confidence and state back, he wanted to kill with one blow, he had to ......

With this strong belief, Endo looked calmly at his opponent on the pitcher's mound in the strike zone.

Irie, the pitcher of the new academy, has already raised his legs and is about to pitch the ball.

Endo paid close attention to him, and secretly reminded himself in his heart: raise your legs high, and swing your hands very back...... Kindness!!! ~~ See, it's a finger type that catches the ball with two fingers together, a slippery ball!? Or a curveball!?

"Whew!! ~”

Soon, Irie, the pitcher of the new academy, threw the ball hard.

In the striking area, Endo immediately saw Irie's ball action: the ball above his head was a curveball!! ~Yo Xi, come on! ~

After making a judgment in an instant, Irie immediately moved backwards from his original position and stepped out, and then waited for the baseball to enter the base before he felt the angle of the baseball, and then quickly swung the short bat towards the baseball that also flashed into the good ball belt.

"Great! ~”

“~~~~”

"Oh~~hehe~~"

"Hit! ~”

"Oh, I really hit it!! ~Hit!! ~”

"Endo-kun, run, ahhhhh
