Chapter 115: The Final Showdown (Part 1)
In the first half of the ninth inning, Daocheng Industrial attacked. The score was 5:2, and Qingdao led by three points.
One person is out, one or three bases are available.
Seeing that the Qingdao High School baseball team was about to win the game, I didn't expect the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team to lose and come to a death-defying counterattack.
At this point, the game situation also became uncertain.
If the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team continues like this, it is really difficult to say the final direction of this game.
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
One by one, the substitutes stood up anxiously and cheered loudly for their teammates on the field.
Minister Ota's rubbing hands were numb, and he kept scratching his scalp, making his already high hairline more obvious.
Even Kataoka, who has always been calm, tapped his arm with his fingers uneasily.
It's the kind of performance that is watching off the field, not to mention the players on the pitch who are playing.
The players of the Qingdao High School baseball team, I feel that these guys in Inagi are like kraft candy, no matter how they pull it, they just keep pulling it.
"These guys are too tough to deal with..."
"It should be said, is it worthy of Daocheng Industry?"
Zhang Han's body also felt very tired.
He originally thought that he had gone through hellish training on the Qingdao High School baseball team, and although his physical strength did not dare to compare with his monster seniors, he should be qualified throughout the high school year.
But two high-level confrontations in a row have drained most of his body's physical strength.
He felt like his hands and feet were heavy.
On the contrary, there are many seniors around him, and many people are not even as good as him in terms of performance, but at this time, whether it is momentum or body, they are much stronger than him.
There is no more reliable partner than these seniors.
Zhang Han thinks that these seniors should definitely enter Jiaziyuan, so that all fans in the country can take a good look at their strength.
Qingdao's hell training, Zhang Han has only experienced three months. And those seniors around him, especially the third-year seniors.
It's been three years!
Even for their sweat and hard work, they should also be allowed to enter Koshien.
Since he has come to this team, even if he only has the last trace of strength left in his body, he must help the seniors fulfill this dream.
Come on!
No matter what kind of ball flies by, I'm going to stop it for you.
"Fifth stick, catcher, Masako Harada."
Inagi's beater at this time was Harada's turn to be the fifth batter.
I have to say that the supervision of Guoyou is really a scheming and calculating. His arrangement at the beginning of the game was considered useless by many people.
Can't Daocheng Industry win so many hits, in case they get too many hits, isn't this arrangement useless?
But the overseer of the country thought of it.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is really no harm in his arrangement.
Even if the Daocheng Industrial High School baseball team has won more hits, this hard work is useless, and in the end, hasn't Daocheng already won?
The more hits, the more points you score, and how simple it is.
Qingdao High School miscalculated, but they also learned a lot through this incident.
In particular, Superintendent Kataoka was nervous, but the arrangement of the troops by the superintendent of Guoyou also gave him a lot of inspiration.
That's a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now.
Let's talk about the duel on the pitch alone.
Harada Yako, a ruthless character who can be compared with Qingdao Yuki and the three major cities in the three giants.
It is impossible for such a hitter to stand on the court without causing a sensation on both sides.
Everyone's eyes were on the caster, waiting to see the outcome of the duel between the Qingdao ace and the strong beater.
A home run can tie the score completely.
This kind of matchup, which can affect the team's victory or defeat, is a huge psychological test for both sides of the game.
Even a star player like Masako Harada is very nervous when he encounters such a scene.
The sweat on his forehead never stopped, and it fell down for miles.
But Miyuki, a newcomer in the position of Qingdao catcher, didn't feel the slightest nervousness, he just had excitement.
He enjoyed it very much, the feeling of blood pumping.
Every match is enough to make people's hearts beat.
One carelessness may ruin the team's good future.
In the face of this kind of crisis, he can still be in danger, and such a player can only be lucky.
He played the code very calmly and asked Xiuzawa to pitch.
And Harada, who is in the hitting zone, has no interest in Miyuki's matching.
Xiuzawa is obviously at the end of the crossbow.
In this situation, it's hard to get him to be flexible on the ball. Qingdao doesn't actually have too many options, it can only be a head-to-head showdown.
The next thing he needs to think about is, how to get the ball out of the way with a good shot?
"Whew!"
Harada chose to let go of the first ball.
Xiuze's momentum is too strong, especially the first goal, and he can't bring all his strength.
Such a ball, Harada is not willing to provoke.
Qingdao is in danger, but that's just a danger, after all, they are still three points ahead.
And their Daocheng industry, now, has no way out.
They can only push forward, no matter what the final result is, they have to break through to the end.
"Good shot!"
The first good shot, Harada didn't swing the bat.
On the second ball, he swung his bat and sent it out of bounds.
After just two goals, Harada was chased.
According to the general pitching routine, the next Miyuki is bound to match a bad ball to seduce the batter who has been chased to swing the bat.
And the hitter, in this absolutely inferior duel, as long as it is a good ball with the surrounding ball, there is no way to let go.
Masako Harada's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
He thought well before the duel, but when it came to the actual duel, most of it didn't work.
Almost instantly, he was chased by two good balls from his opponent.
And in this case, if he wants to hit a backhand, it will be difficult to do it.
Harada, who had already been chased, watched the ball flying into a low angle and swung his bat head-on.
As a result, the baseball landed on the ground and bounced off before it could get close to the good ball belt.
"Smack!"
The ball that bounced up was smoothly received by Yukiichi in his glove.
Masako Harada, swinging the baton missed.
"Strikeouts, out!!"
After only three goals, Harada, the strong hitter, was knocked out by strikeouts.
In the stands, supporters of the Seido High School baseball team couldn't help but revel.
It's close, this time it's really close.
They are only one last game away from defeating the uncrowned king of Inagi Industrial.
And this is possible, it is their final showdown.
Two out, one on third base.
"Sixth baseman, pitcher, Narumiya."
Qingdao's possible final opponent is the Tokyo prince.
