A ball of the heart.

A pitch infused with all the power.

It was already Ogawa Tsunematsu who fought to the last moment.

In the face of Shigerino's extremely ruthless blow, he was finally completely defeated.

Look at the little white ball that slammed into the wall of the outfield.

"Safe Landing !!"

"Dadada!"

"Safe base!"

There is no way to get there in the first place.

In particular, the high-pitched ruling words that sounded one after another at home plate were brutally destroying the inner defense line of this Chengkong left shot.

"Sixth point!"

"Seventh point!"

"Haha! Shigeruno-kun also stepped on third base! ”

"A perfect three-run hit!"

"Oh oh oh oh oh! See, this is the strength of our four-stick captain! ”

"Yo Si! Yo West! Yo West! ”

"Six-point gap! One more point! Let's just finish the game, Qingdao! ”

"Ahhh King!! ”

The unstoppable three-base hit, which was scored directly by the school, made Qingdao High School expand the difference to six points in one go.

Seven points away from reaching a valid game in the seventh inning.

It's just the last point.

And now, there is still a situation where no one is out and there is someone on third base.

And the figure of Ogawa Tsunematsu, who obviously became rickety on the pitcher's mound and lowered the brim of his hat, all means that the left throw of the Chengkong genius who insisted on the seventh inning was finally completely defeated by Qingdao High School at this moment.

This is an irreparable situation.

It shows that Qingdao High School is only half a step away from victory!!

The Qingdao players such as Kuramochi, Aso, and Tojo on the third base bench all jumped up excitedly, and Superintendent Kataoka's face also showed a faint look of excitement.

Hiromitsu Ochiai also gently twisted his little beard and nodded in satisfaction.

Necessary moments.

It's the core that can respond to the team's expectations repeatedly.

Four sticks!

Trump card!

Captain!

The only presence that leads the team forward.

Shigerino Shin!

This is what Gunso-sama thinks of as the future of Japan, not only in high school, but also as the number one baseball player in the professional arena!!

"Alas。。。。。。"

"Is this the end of it。。。。。。。

Disappointment, and even despair, spread deep in the hearts of the Seongkong High School players, looking at the cheering Seido bench, especially the figure of Shigerino Shin who was standing on the third base bag with his right fist held high.

The players of Chengkong High School couldn't help but twitch slightly in their hearts.

At this moment, even if they are as firm as Ao, Nagata and others, a layer of haze is irrepressibly floating in their hearts.

"Alas。。。。。。。"

The Oga overseer on the first bench clenched his hands tightly behind him, and his face showed a very complicated expression.

The middle-aged uncle who was on the high platform and had just grabbed the railing in front of him easily opened his hands at this moment, and his face showed a look of loss.

It's clear to anyone.

The moment when Shigerino blasted out this ultra-long-range hit.

The game can already be declared over.

No one can turn the tide of this game again.

"Notice 。。。。。。。。。。。。。 of Seongkong High School Player Change"

A helpless choice in desperation.

The replaced Ogawa, with his head down, walked back towards his bench with heavy and slow steps, and in the end, this genius Zuo To, who was pinned on by Chengkong High School, was not able to lead Qingdao High School like last year's Shigerno Shin, God blocked and killed God, and Buddha blocked and killed Buddha.

The end of the defeat.

It is the truest portrayal of this left pitcher at this moment.

"You're a little too tender, Ogawa-kun, but I'm looking forward to your future growth."

Shigero, who was standing on the third base, looked at the obviously shrunken figure of Ogawa Tsunematsu, a bright light flashed in his pupils, and his eyes were slightly raised, and he said in a low voice.

———— Dividing Line————

"Whew!"

"Huh"

"Pong !!"

"Oooo

"Dada

"Safe base!!"

"The end of the game !!"

Replaced Ogawa, re-ascended to the ace island of the pitcher's mound.

Although Chengkong High School has not completely lost its fighting spirit, Kojima Ryuhei, who is the ace, also wants to save the team's crisis.

Even with his recovered state, he forcibly won Kenjiro Hakushu's strikeouts.

However, after all, the situation is here.

Seido High School with minor tactical adjustments re-underway.

He didn't deliberately say that he was looking for a high fly ball to score.

Under the instructions of Hiromitsu Ochiai again.

The front garden of the sixth baton still caught Ryuhei Kojima's decisive change ball and hit it in front of the left fielder, even if the hit was not very far, but with a runner on third base, the distance and time of the shot were sufficient.

Take a steady step.

Shigeno stepped on home plate without a hitch.

Flip the scoreboard again.

“4”

The values shown by the bottom half of the seventh inning.

and what is revealed at the end.

"8 to 1"

That's a seven-point difference.

It also shows that the final curtain has come to an end on this game.

"Oooo

"Win!"

"Haha! Seven points apart, effective play, ended early! ”

"Sure enough, our ace is the strongest!"

"Throwing double energy, the trump card of the second knife stream, is our tyrant His Royal Highness!!"

"Qingdao, Qingdao, Qingdao!"

"The top four, we're here!"

"Jingu! Jingu!! ”

The unbridled cheers, the Qingdao players pouring out of the bench, and Shigeru in front of the home plate were surrounded by them.

Looking at the teammates in front of him with excited expressions.

The corners of Shigero's mouth also rose slightly, revealing a faint smile.

Just looking at the result, this is not a very difficult game, but the process is not very easy, whether it is offensive or defensive, it must be admitted that Chengkong High School has brought great pressure to their Qingdao.

However, fortunately, the result was smooth, not only avoiding the injury extension game in the original book, but also being able to achieve an effective score difference in seven games.

This is indeed beyond Shigerano's own psychological expectations in his heart.

And such a result.

Obviously, it is also beneficial to Qingdao.

How much physical strength and energy are preserved.

For next week's semi-finals.

Qingdao High School obviously has a better chance of winning.

The solemn and solemn expressions of the two members of the reconnaissance team of Daocheng Industrial High School in the stands are the best proof.

And compared to the cheers of Qingdao High School.

The other side.

The atmosphere at Chengkong High School was extremely gloomy and depressing.

Tsunematsu Ogawa, who was still uneventful after losing in the first round in the summer, couldn't help but cry on the bench at the end of this competition.

In the end, he had to be held by his teammates before he could walk in the direction of the pitch.

The rest of the players who are more determined.

The expressions of people such as Tsuki and Nagata are also quite unpleasant.

Lose.

This is difficult for players of all levels to accept.

"Queue !!"

"Dada

And the ultimate, the ultimate.

Even if it's not acceptable.

They also have to face this fact.

"Salute!"

"Thank you for the advice!"
