PS: I won't write much about the semi-finals, let's focus on the finals.

A clear day.

The 83rd Spring Selection of Colleges and Universities Competition, the last two rounds of competition.

A battle for supremacy this spring!

In Hyogo, Nishinomiya-shi, Hanshin Koshien!!

The first to fire the first shot was Seido High School and Haoyong High School!

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Pong!!"

"Oooh! Caught it! A tricky outside corner strike, a six-batter from Haoyong High School, Yamamoto-kun once again grabbed the outside corner straight ball of Seongchi starting pitcher Tanba-kun, in front of the right field! ”

"Bang!"

"Yo Si!!"

Uninhibited blow!

Thunderous words of urns!

Before the ball lands on the surface of the right field.

The heavy steps that took place and the figure that stepped firmly on the first base.

In this fourth game of the offensive.

The spearhead hitter at Haoyong High School once again managed to get to first base.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

Even if they are facing the lower line, but the pressure brought by the first three games makes Miyuki and Tanba have to deal with it more carefully.

In the second game, the "1" point that was scored first by the lower line is the best proof of this.

Even if, the current score of the game is 2-1, Seido High School is temporarily ahead.

However, it must be admitted that the deterrent effect brought by the powerful force of Haoyong High School really made the overall garrison of Qingdao High School quite difficult.

In particular, the requirements for the infield are too high.

If you are a little careless, it is easy to be attacked and succeeded, and the loss of points in the second game is that the senior of Kominato was suppressed by the strength of the ball at the moment of receiving the ball, and the ball that was not well received was also forced to bounce out.

Allowed the runner to successfully return to home plate from third base.

This also made Ryosuke Kominato's face very difficult to look at from the second game, which could be said to be Kominato's own mistake, which led to the team's loss of points.

So!

In the bottom half of this fourth inning, the attack of Koyong High School.

At the moment when the runner has just reached first base.

Ryosuke Kominato's senior look became more and more solemn.

"Seven, third baseman, Shiba-kun."

"Come on, Shiba!"

"It's a pity that the last one is a seat, this one has to be won!"

"Stinky boy! It's your turn, and if you can't knock one out this time, you won't come back. ”

"Shiba!!"

Thoroughly firm to fight the faith.

All of them are in a position at the very front of the strike zone.

Everyone will not hesitate to swing the baton vigorously.

Frankly.

This kind of situation really brought great pressure to Tambo on the pitcher's mound, and in just the fourth inning, a lot of sweat oozed from the forehead of Tambo's seniors.

On the side of the cowshed, Shigero, who warmed up on his own, frowned slightly when he glanced at the court.

"This group of guys from Haoyong High School is really hard to deal with...

Shigerno Shin tilted his head slightly, a look of awe bloomed in his pupils, and he whispered.

“playball！！”

"It doesn't matter, senior Tamba, the situation is still under our control, it is completely fine to carefully keep the ball down in the corner, and then use the curveball to open up the space for a decisive victory."

At home base, Miyuki cautiously gestured to the Tamba seniors on the pitcher's mound.

"Hmm!"

Senior Tanbo nodded emphatically, and a faint look of fierceness also flowed through his pupils.

Lose points in the second game.

Although said.

Not entirely Tamba's own responsibility.

But! A loss of points is a loss of points, and there is no room for quibbles.

Our team is only one point ahead!

I will never be able to let Haoyong High School act recklessly!!

"First goal!"

"Outside corner low side straight ball!!"

"Whoosh"

"Huh"

"Pong!!"

"Bang"

"Out of bounds!!"

"Second ball, bad ball from the outside corner."

"Huh"

"Huh"

"Oh no!!"

"Smack"

"Good shot!!"

All the power that can be mobilized, all the energy that can be poured out!

In the face of such a strong line as Haoyong High School.

At the moment of matching, Miyuki must not only maintain a certain high-pressure posture (not allowing the hitters of Haoyong High School to swing the baton easily, and not giving them the opportunity to add momentum out of thin air), but also pay attention to pulling the ball, appropriately avoiding the edge of Haoyong High School, and not giving Haoyong High School the opportunity to bring the game into their familiar rhythm.

"Very good, the next ball, the high lob in the inner corner, the height doesn't matter, the ball must be closer, a little tricky."

Yu Yuyuki's expression was very solemn, and he decisively placed the ball cover in the inner corner, and gently gestured out the code.

"Hmm!"

Pitcher mound above.

Tamba-senpai once again raised his arms decisively.

"Huh"

As the pace moves forward.

Swinging out of the right arm.

That glimmer of light flew down from the pitcher's mound.

"Inner corner! Straight ball!? ”

The shadow of the ball flying straight past was reflected in the eyes of the seven batters of Haoyong High School on the strike zone, Shiba Zhen.

In the next second!

The stride that suddenly stepped forward, pulling out a trace of the figure to the outside.

"Huh!"

A metal bat that shook violently.

There was a loud grinding sound in the air.

The next moment!

Overlapping shadows.

"Pong!"

High angle impact of the lob.

"Hmm!!"

A tangible collision texture that you can't feel.

"Damn!!"

Zhibo's face on the strike zone became more and more hideous, and the metal bat that was forcibly pressed down suddenly exploded.

"Huh"

But it still can't really suppress this blow.

Flying out, it was higher than the third base bag.

"Smack"

Fall vertically.

It was caught steadily by Masuko's predecessors.

"Out!!"

"Good ball, Tamba!"

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Hold it steady like that, Tanba-senpai!"

"Give those guys a little color and look at it!!"

There is an incomparably strong team that can also play in the lower line, not that there is not, in the original book, the lower line of Qingdao is a headache for His Royal Highness Ming, but there are really not many strong teams like Haoyong High School that can play.

It can only be said.

The light is just that body, that body.

It can bring a great sense of oppression to the pitchers on the pitcher's mound.

"Hehe, I didn't let the ace start, let the third-grade Tanba-kun take the lead, although it was a bit unexpected, but, it was also reasonable, against Yokogaku High School, the nine rounds were completed, and the number of balls reached nearly 130 goals, Kataoka-kun is planning to let the ace cultivate well, right? However, wouldn't this be too underestimate our family's line! ”

On the third base side, in the bench of Haoyong High School.

As the head coach of Haoyong High School, the deer supervisor narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light was revealed.

Gestures to their own players on the pitch again.

"Hmm!"

The players from Haoyong High School on the court immediately touched the brim of their hats to signal that they understood.

“playball！！”

When the referee's words fell, the pitcher was on the mound, and Tamba's senior had just raised his leg.

"Dada-da-da!"

First base pack.

Yamamoto's figure that started suddenly.

"Boots!!"

Team Zhe's face couldn't help but change, and he suddenly shouted loudly.
