In the first half of the fifth inning, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team attacked.

No one is out, there are people on first and third base.

In the strike zone, it was the turn of the top hitter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.

As the starter of the Cosmos team, and they are the top hitters, the strength and fame of these beaters are beyond doubt.

That is, in the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, they give people the feeling that their presence is not very strong.

But in fact, which of them is not the strength of the star player?

Whether it's before or after entering high school, the fame and strength of these guys are first-class.

Even if you look at the whole country, there are not many players who can compare with them.

But such a group of people, in the previous game, have been suppressed by the shooting partner of the Qingdao High School baseball team, and have not been able to get, even the slightest opportunity.

Now, it's their third round to play.

When they were on the pitch, the supervisor of their team didn't even give them a look.

"Have you been disappointed in us to the extreme?"

You know, there are people on first and third base, and their chances and possibilities for scoring are much greater than at any other time.

Even so, the superintendent of their team, the man who was known as the first superintendent in Osaka, Takahiro Matsumoto, did not give them any instructions.

On the surface, it seems to give them free rein in their game.

However, the Osaka players, who are familiar with their own supervisory character, know very well in their hearts.

What is the real purpose of their overseer's appearance?

That means that the overseer of their family has endured to the extreme.

If they are not able to put up a performance that will satisfy the supervisor and their peers, then this is likely to be their last play.

It's not just this game.

Even if this game is won by luck, it will not be their turn to play after Kiryu Osaka.

The Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team is known as the number one club in the country, and the rest area is full of talent. They're certainly the best team, but they're not necessarily the only option.

When they play in the third round and face the same opponent, they haven't shown anything yet.

The overseer's patience reached its limit.

The team's friends, including those die-hard supporters in the stands, have reached the limit of their patience.

Giants, no matter for any player on any team, are a shining golden signboard.

The players who can play the main role in this place are undoubtedly the elite of the high school baseball world.

But because of this, the competition here is so cruel that it is unimaginable in other places.

It is possible that a single mistake can completely destroy a player's chance.

They wouldn't want it to happen to them anyway.

In order to avoid this, this time the blow, even if they are desperate, they have to hit the ball out.

The hitter of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, after standing in the strike zone, put on a decisive appearance.

It looks like if you don't get a hit, you won't give up......

was originally an extremely good star player, but at this time, he put on a posture of breaking the kettle, which still looks very bluffing.

Miyuki was inevitably affected.

He felt a huge amount of pressure from the opponents in front of him.

But Miyuki's face did not become ugly, on the contrary, he smiled.

In his opinion, these guys from the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team are simply not too cute.

Except for their team's catcher and two outfielders, including their family's ace Hiromi, there are all guys with muscles in their heads.

What kind of plans and intentions they have are all on the bright side.

In this way, it is not difficult to deal with.

Even if the current state of Senior Tamba can't be considered good......

But as long as you are willing to pay some price, there is no problem in winning the number of outs.

"Let's take the first number of outs first, and play steadily."

Now Tamba, there is a problem with physical strength, and the mentality and state of the whole person are definitely not much better.

But Miyuki doesn't think it has much to do with it.

Since the pitchers are no longer good, then they rely on the strength of the team's defense.

As long as there are no problems with the team's defense, Mikoichi is also adamant that if they want to solve the difficulties in front of them, there will be no difficulty.

"Believe in the little friends of life, they will definitely stop the ball."

Tamba's physical condition is not good, and the mental pressure must not be small.

But the same ......

Sawamura Eisumi went to practice pitching at this time, and the pressure was just as great for the players of Osaka's Kiryu High School baseball team.

They fought against Koichiro Tanba for two rounds.

Although there are not a few hits scored, the real effective score is only two points.

For such a long time, with a pitcher who is not very strong, only two points were scored.

Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, how can it be willing?

After all, if the plot continues like this, even if they can hold the score in the end and not lose points again.

When the Qingdao High School baseball team changed to a new pitcher, they attacked the rookie pitcher, did they only score two points?

If they only score two points, even if the Qingdao High School baseball team really doesn't score a point, they will at most close the score......

It is impossible to catch up, or even overtake.

This point, the friends of the Osaka Kiryu baseball team, can't accept it no matter what.

Miyuki here wants to get his first out.

If they can take the opportunity to win a double kill, even if it is to put a runner on third base and run back to home plate, they are not unacceptable.

Nowadays, the Seido High School baseball team has a four-point lead, and losing one or two points is not a big problem when the game is halfway through.

————

As long as they can firmly grasp the initiative of the game in their own hands, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team will not be able to make any big waves.

It is also for this reason that although the current situation is not favorable, it can even be said to be very critical, and Miyuki is able to deal with it calmly without hurrying.

What they need to do is not that complicated, it can even be said to be very simple.

As long as you can win the number of outs and solve the hitters on the field one by one, you're good to go.

Miyuki, who had an idea in his heart, squatted down and prepared to catch the ball.

Regardless of whether he is really confident now? He had to put on a confident look.

Koichiro Tanba, who is now a pitcher, looks very bad.

In this case, he could not make a mess in any way......

He has to show a lot of confidence to strengthen Tamba's resolve.

Otherwise, if he is hesitant and looks unconfident.

Miyuki did an extremely good job, and his confident matchmaking really greatly influenced Tamba's judgment.

After seeing his match, Tanbo continued to do exactly as he was told, even though his strength was showing signs of exhaustion.

It's just that the power of baseball has dropped a little bit, and the angle is not very good.

It's so sweet!

The expression on Miyuki's face was a little heavy.

As the saying goes, if you miss a fraction of a millimeter, you will be able to make a thousand miles.

Although the position where the baseball flew was not very far from the position that Yukiichi also requested.

That is, a straight-line distance of less than ten centimeters.

But Yukiichi also asked for a corner position, and this ball was very centered.

A straight-line difference of less than 10 centimeters represents two very different extremes.

Just like Yukiichi also commented, the position of this ball is so sweet, maybe it will be knocked out at some point!

When this ball pops up.

The end of everything seems to be doomed.

The hitters of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team swung their bats, and the white baseball was knocked out and landed in the space of the garrison.

"Smack!"

The moment the baseball hit the ground and was about to bounce out, Miyuki's heart was cold.

If this ball bounces off, it will be too unbeautiful for them.

Not only will they lose points, but the situation will gradually turn to the side of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, someone stepped forward and pressed the baseball to the ground with a flying pounce.

But baseball has rebounded, and even if he makes up for it at this time, losses are inevitable.

The runner on third base, who started early, was back at home plate before the baseball could be passed.

"Whew!!!"

The eighth baseman on the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team returned to home plate and let out a wolf-like howl.

Although at this time, the first batter who gave him the assist has been eliminated.

The reaction of the Qingdao High School baseball team was still very fast, and it couldn't stop him, but it also stopped the hitter.

One is out, and there is someone on second base.

Qingdao High School's buddy who successfully won the first number of exits couldn't laugh at all.

Superintendent Kataoka's plan, although he didn't tell everyone directly, but these friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team are still clear in their hearts.

The family's supervisor did this in part to give Koichiro Tanba a chance to show himself so that he, a third-year pitcher, could prove himself on the court.

On the other hand, I don't want to carry this bad situation into the hands of the next pitcher.

After all, if the pitcher has a problem at the beginning, how will he play in the rest of the game?

It is precisely because of this in mind that the friends did not say anything.

But looking at the current situation, I'm afraid that Koichiro Tanba is really not good.

Although he had a few previous rounds, with the cooperation of his friends, he threw well.

successfully suppressed the line of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, without giving them much respite.

The score is now 6:3.

Of course, the credit for playing the line is undoubted, which also verifies their name as the first line in the country in disguise, and it is not a waste of fame.

But on the other hand, the credit for Koichiro Tanba's pitching cannot be ignored.

Only now, his pitches are being hit in a row.

Not only did there be problems with the ball, but the power of the ball was also far from what it was at the beginning of the game.

Even if he doesn't shoot a hundred balls now.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that in his current state, it is no longer realistic to want to deal with the players of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.

Insist that he vote, and the consequences will only get worse......

Even if the risk is very high, this time must be replaced.

Superintendent Kataoka is also a very decisive person, and when he realized this, he basically applied for a replacement without any hesitation.

Qingdao High School baseball team, request a replacement pitcher.

This made the Osaka Kiryu player, who was already familiar with Tanba's pitching, feel a wave of weakness.

It was like a punch to cotton.

Be more aggrieved, how aggrieved.

The sudden substitution decision of the Qingdao High School baseball team greatly affected the tactics they had previously discussed.

In this case, will they be able to score as many points as they would like? All of a sudden, it became an unknown.

The players were disappointed.

At the critical moment, it was their family's overseer, Takahiro Matsumoto, who stood up.

"Don't look listless, you're the main player of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, are you afraid of a first-year newcomer?"

The pitcher who has just been replaced by the Seido High School baseball team is a first-year rookie player named Eijun Sawamura.

Not only did he have a very good performance in the Tokyo regional competition, but even in the last match against Nakakyo University, his performance was also remarkable.

With a sophomore pitcher, the team was in such a crisis that they didn't put a sophomore pitcher on the court and didn't let their own real ace come on.

Instead, a first-year rookie pitcher was put on the field.

From this, it is not difficult to see how much the supervisors and players of the Qingdao High School baseball team have high expectations for this first-year rookie pitcher?

Even the fans in the stands seemed very excited at this time, and they were very desperate when they cheered.

"It's like the main character in a comic......"

The first-year players pitched on the Koshien court and in the collision of two of the country's top giants.

It's not in garbage time, it's a crucial moment for both sides.

Eijun Sawamura gets the treatment of the protagonist level

Naruto Cheng Gong in the original book, when he participated in Koshien for the first time, he was treated like this.

Any discerning person can see that the Qingdao High School baseball team has obviously cultivated this player named Sawamura Eijun as the team's future trump card!

It is likely that by the time the fall comes, he will wear the back of the trump card, or become the actual trump card.

The appearance of such a player is naturally eye-catching, and it is not surprising that the fans in the stands will be so excited.

However, according to Superintendent Matsumoto, this is not necessarily, and it is all a good thing.

Of course, it's good to be valued and treated at the ace level......

Especially a first-year rookie player, if he does well this time around, he may even make a splash.

The stage of Koshien is such an important competition.

Any figure that performs well will not be forgotten.

Thinking about it this way, from the perspective of the players, it is really a very thrilling scene.

It's just that because of this, the first-year rookie pitcher who has just come on the court is bound to bear tremendous pressure unimaginable by others.

Will he be able to give full play to all his abilities?

The answer is no.

With tens of thousands of fans at the scene, it was such a critical moment......

Even the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team think that there is nothing wrong with Sawamura Eijun's big heart.

But in fact, he was only a fifteen-year-old boy after all, and the scene was too big.

Even if he swore before he went on the pitch that he wouldn't have any problems.

When it came time to actually start pitching, he was still inevitably nervous, and he didn't hit the ball with two consecutive balls at first.

"Bad ball!"

"Bad ball!!"

When these two bad balls appeared, in the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, everyone's faces were ugly to death.

They lost the bet!

Even the previous performance of Sawamura Eijun has proved that he has a super big heart.

But when I really got to the stage of Koshien, in front of tens of thousands of fans at the scene, in front of millions or even tens of millions of fans in front of the TV.

In front of countless cameras......

The opponent is another team such as the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team.

The biggest difference from the previous game is that the base bag has been emptied by that time, and the Qingdao High School baseball team has an overwhelming advantage.

In that game, as long as Sawamura didn't make a big mistake and didn't collapse directly or something, there was no problem.

But in today's game, although the Qingdao High School baseball team was ahead of its opponents, it did not have as much of an advantage as in the previous game.

And the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team has not given up hope......

The offense in the fifth game is not over yet, which means that there are still five full rounds of counterattack opportunities.

With a three-point gap, how can it be possible for these proud sons of the universe team to give up?

They are ambitious and want to fight back.

These pressures were not there in the last game.

When all this pressure converges on Sawamura, this first-year rookie pitcher, this pitcher who tells himself that he will never be nervous.

Or inevitably something went wrong.

He pushed too hard, and as a result, the baseball he threw completely lost its former character.

Either they didn't get into the good ball belt, or they threw it directly into the middle of the good ball belt.

On the third ball, the baseball was unbiased and shot into the center of the good ball belt.

When he saw this ball, Yukiichi also closed his eyes in pain.

He didn't have to look at the next result, he had already guessed it......

These hitters on the top of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, don't look at the miserable targets he was before, but this doesn't mean that these guys are easy to mess with?

As a star player who rose from junior high school, he experienced the hellish workout of the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team......

The basic skills of these guys are more solid than the other.

Although they only took three points from Koichiro Tanba, the pressure they put on Koichiro Tanba was definitely more than just the score.

Otherwise, Koichiro Tanba, who was able to hold out until the 7th game, would not have left the game in a hurry before he finished the 5th game.

This is Team Cosmos!

With such a team, it is impossible to miss in the face of such a good ball.

"Ping!"

The result was exactly as Miyuki guessed, and the white baseball was forced to fly.

Several fielders of the Qingdao High School baseball team desperately rushed to the landing point of the baseball, but they didn't have time.

It's a super long fight that's clean and doesn't drag the mud in the slightest.

The runner, who had been on second base, crossed third base and returned to home plate, helping the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team score a fourth point.

Shortly after the Seido High School baseball team pulled the score, the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team chased the score back.

What was a desperate four-point gap is now just two points.

The four-point gap did not make the Osaka Kiryu High School baseball team, known as Team Cosmos, give up.

Now that the two sides are only two points apart, it is even more impossible for these guys to give up.

Their eyes all radiated the glow of a beast that preyed on its prey.

Facing the rookie pitchers of the first-year baseball team of Qingdao High School, these guys opened their mouths of blood and showed the fangs in their mouths.

There was no chance before, but now if there is the slightest chance, they also want to let these guys from the Qingdao High School baseball team have a good look, what is the protagonist?
