The white ball, which spanned a distance of nearly 100 meters, would have even flown out of the court if it were not for the barrier of the fence.

The baseball slammed into the fence and bounced back sharply. So much so that Osaka Kiryu's outfielder ran forward and pounced.

Knowing that Zhang Han had the power to hit a home run, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team was guarded very far behind, and their outfielders were no more than 20 meters away from the wall at the back of the court.

But even so, he didn't have time to catch up with the ball, and when he did, the baseball bounced back and avoided his gloves.

The supporters of Qingdao in the stands, as well as the friends in the rest area, were all excited.

Penetrated!

They took the second point.

The aggregate score became 13:10, and the gap between the two sides was shortened to three points. What was supposed to be an almost desperate situation turned out to be moved back like this.

The three-point gap, although still huge, is not enough to despair.

If there is a chance, there will be a chance.

They also had six outs and two full innings of offensive chances.

In the rest area of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, everyone's faces were unusually heavy.

Originally, they thought that they had won the game today. Now it seems that they are too optimistic.

Today's game is still a long way from the end.

"Forget about your previous achievements and play them at the beginning of the game!"

Takahiro Matsumoto muttered.

Of course, he didn't say this to these substitutes in the Kiryu rest area in Osaka. He's going to tell them when they come back.

Those who travel a hundred miles are half ninety.

The same is true of baseball games, even if it reaches the ninth inning, it is only halfway through the game.

As he spoke, his eyes were on Zhang Han, who had already run to second base.

It's amazing!

The three core hitters of the Qingdao High School baseball team impressed him in today's game.

Before the competition, the fame of the three Qingdao fighters was very loud. But Takahiro Matsumoto at that time did not put these three players on it.

No matter how strong the beater is, what can he do?

On the field of Koshien, the life-and-death confrontation between the two teams is a competition for their comprehensive strength. A few beaters can influence the course of the game to a certain extent, but it is difficult to really affect the outcome of the game.

Not to mention their previous fame, basically because they didn't meet too strong opponents.

To give the simplest example, during the competition in the Nishitokyo area, I met two wealthy families with similar reputations, Inagi Industry and Ichidai Sangao.

The overall score of Qingdao High School is not very high.

This shows that their overall offensive strength is not as terrible as the media reported.

Coupled with the offense of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, it is also very strong.

No matter how Matsumoto looked at it, he didn't think that his disciples would lose to Qingdao.

So for today's game, he's confident. He thinks they will be able to win and advance to the semi-finals.

But now it seems that he underestimated his opponents too much, especially the destructive power caused by the three core hitters of the Qingdao High School baseball team. The power of the three of them combined is really up to the attack power of most of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team. Those two second- and third-year players are just that, although they are tough, but Matsumoto Takahiro is not unseen, and they are on par with them, or even better.

The key is Zhang Han, who is the last of the three.

He's the sixth bat, and it doesn't look like it's very important. But placing him behind Dongqingguo and Yuuki, this position is wonderful.

If it weren't for a guaranteed hitter like him, how could the super high strike rate of Dongqingguo and Yuki be so effectively converted into scores?

You must know that so far, Zhang Han has not missed a move. It was his turn to come on the pitch and all the balls, he hit them.

What a horrible young man!

When he grows up, his future prospects will be limitless.

Takahiro Matsumoto, with feelings.

His sighs, that is, in a moment, the old fox quickly returned to his true colors.

Having already conceded two points, he doesn't want to lose any more points.

But when things got to this point, he couldn't help it.

It was Izagi's turn to blow Jun.

Jun Izaki didn't even put on a short hit, he was just a normal hit.

But the people on the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team didn't believe that he really intended to face it head-on.

There must be a conspiracy!

They had already suffered two losses in this matter before. Seido High School's ability to convert basebases into scoring is very strong.

I don't know how much practice they do on weekdays, but their players are very good at finding opportunities.

It doesn't matter if it's a runner on the base bag or a hitter in the strike zone.

This is something that even Matsumoto has to admire.

Their offensive strength is also strong, even stronger than Qingdao! But their offense relies more on the individual strength of the players, relying on constant shooting duels to advance the base pack and score points.

In private, Osaka Kiryu's players, although he complained that Qingdao relied on a few beaters to support the scene.

But that's just complaining, in fact, the overall cooperation of the Qingdao High School baseball team is very strong.

Their aggressive baseball strategy is not at all the same style as Kiryu's offense in Osaka. If the players of Kiryu High School in Osaka have that kind of enthusiasm and cooperation.

With the chances they created, the score is definitely more than thirteen.

On the other hand, Qingdao Dao has only scored a total of more than twenty hits. But they converted half of those hits, or even more, directly into points.

This is the best part of Qingdao!

"Ping!"

Jun Izaki didn't hesitate at all, and saw the baseball shoot directly.

Zhang Han, who was originally staying at second base, saw the moment the baseball was knocked out, he seemed to have a premonition that the baseball had landed.

With one foot heavily on the base bag, Zhang Han rushed to third base.

Hit and run? Right now?

The players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team were stunned for a moment.

If this ball is caught directly by them, wouldn't Zhang Han be looking for death by himself?

Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Zhang Han took the lead and rushed to third base, and the baseball rebounded smoothly.

After the fielder catches the ball, he passes to first base.

Seeing the moment of the pass, the base-running instructor at third base directly gave Zhang Han a code.

Make it!

This third-grade senior, with the same brain as a computer, although his strength is not very good, he can rank in the top 3 in the entire Qingdao when he judges the timing.

Zhang Han believed his judgment and stepped over third base non-stop and went straight to home base.

"Dreaming!"

After Osaka first baseman Masaoka received the ball, he gritted his teeth and passed the ball to catcher Araki.

It's just that although his passing is fast, he is a beat slower than Zhang Han in action.

Zhang Han took a step ahead and stepped on the base bag.

"Eleventh point!"

The aggregate score, 13:11, is only two points left.
