"Oooh! Double Kill! Assault strike, rolling ball in front of the pitcher's mound, pitcher Sawamura-kun quickly intercepted the ball, smooth pinching from second base to first base, perfect infield defense linkage, one person out, one and second base have someone in crisis, Qingdao High School relied on its excellent defensive performance, won the double kill out, and ended the attack of Chengkong High School, in the first half of the fifth inning, Chengkong High School was once again suppressed by Qingdao's first-grade pitcher - Sawamura Eijun again clean sheet and ended!! ”

"Oooo

"Did you suppress it with zero points?"

"Tsk, and it's a double kill, this garrison is really great?"

"Awesome! Qingdao! ”

"I thought that I would be able to get at least one point, or even two more points in this game, and I could suppress it so wonderfully, this left thrower can do it."

"It's worthy of being selected for the first team in the summer and pitching in Koshien."

Endless exclamations, for the results of the offensive and defensive battles in the first half of the fifth game, the thousands of spectators in the stands more or less showed a look of surprise and even shock, you know, this is the third round of the upper line and clearance sequence, and it is also a situation where there are people in the scoring circle, referring to the previous four innings, Sawamura, who has been caught in the trajectory of the ball.

In the eyes of these viewers, in this fifth game, Cheng Kong can recover one or two points no matter how much he drops.

It is even possible to completely defeat this Qingdao left thrower.

Just one more hit.

It is properly possible to give the turn of the four batters - Shohei Nagata.

Not to mention the previous games.

Refers to the performance of the previous seat.

It's enough to prove that this four-stick has the strength to defeat Sawamura head-on!

However!

Don't even say it's Nagata-kun's turn.

Even the follow-up most critical order to score a hit, Sawamura Eijun, did not allow Chengkong to blast out!

This is again changed by the rhythm of the flow.

The audience in the stands raised their evaluation of Sawamura again.

On the third base, in the Qingdao bench, facing the trotting back Sawamura, the Qingdao people on the bench and the stands all broke out into an extremely enthusiastic cheer, and they did not skimp on their applause and praise.

As a first-year pitcher, he was able to withstand the five innings of Chengkong High School, which was known as the Hao fast line, and only lost one point because of the home run hit by the super four bats, and in the remaining four innings, he did not lose a single point, and in the dangerous situation just now, he was able to deal with it calmly, solve the opponent with a double kill, and suppress it again with a clean sheet.

That's it.

It was enough for everyone in Qingdao to recognize Sawamura.

The trump card battle of the future.

In the eyes of these Qingdao players and support teams.

It's really on the same starting line.

Whether it is Shizuya or Sawamura, at this time next year, whoever bears the trump card will not be surprised by the Qingdao people.

The happiness of having so many super pitchers.

At this juncture.

It is the most sincere thought of everyone in Qingdao High School.

"Nice pitching, today's pitching performance was very good, go down, rest well."

Facing the returning Sawamura, Superintendent Kataoka showed a rare gentle smile on his face, patted Rongjun's shoulder gently, and said softly.

"Yes, Overseer!"

Rong Chun also straightened his body, and said with blazing eyes.

Didn't continue to drop points.

Hold the line of your own team!

Do what you're supposed to do.

There is also the endorsement of the overseer.

This is what Sawamura thinks is the happiest moment for himself!

But that's not enough!

It's not enough for me now.

With such a little strength and such a little performance, it is not enough to catch up with the figure and pace of Shigerun's predecessors.

Need to get stronger!

Until you can be the same as Shigeno Senpai.

Become the core of the whole team and become the existence that everyone trusts!

That's Sawamura's supreme ideal!!

Shigerun, who trotted back from the outfield, also smiled at Miyuki who had just taken off the catcher armor, and the growth of his own juniors was amazing and even more gratifying.

Not only the valley falls, but the growth curve of Sawamura is also in a geometric pattern.

Now they have the style of Shigeru Ye last autumn.

Shigero, Miyuki, and even all the Qingdao people have reason to believe it.

Next year.

After the two of them are promoted to the second grade, they will grow further.

It is 100% powerful, qualified to become the successor of Shigerano Shin, and continue the glory of the king Qingdao!!

First base side, in front of the Chengkong High School bench.

"Sorry! It's all my fault, I didn't budget the trajectory of refraction, and I was taken down and killed. ”

Because of the blow just now, he was taken down and killed, thus ending the attack of his own team, returned to the bench moment, took off the brim of his hat, and said with a three-point unwilling, three-point apologetic, and three-point angry expression.

Originally, I thought it was a proper blow, but it was suppressed again, and nothing was done for three consecutive seats, which made Yamashita feel extremely ashamed.

I have the heavy responsibility of inheriting my own captain and connecting the clearance sequence!

Three times.

Not a single hit.

It also buried the attacking opportunity of his own team, which was most likely to tie the score.

If you can still keep your emotions calm, that's weird.

"Don't care, this is the opposite pitching skill, anyway, we have adapted to the pitcher's ball and seized it, how many opportunities should be in the back, the most important thing is to attack in the back, not to regret the things in front."

In the bench, the tree who was wearing the catcher armor raised his head and said with a very serious expression.

It's a shame that the opportunity was lost.

But!

You can't hold that emotion in a game.

A chance was lost.

Then create another opportunity.

The most important thing is not the before, but the next!

"What you said is right, although there are still three points in the difference, but the ceiling of the game has tilted towards us, equalizing the score, overtaking the score, it is a matter of a moment, don't relax!"

Oga Superintendent looked at his own players in front of him with a very grim expression and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Overseer!!"

Five rounds of confrontation.

Although Chengkong is still in a backward situation.

But this repeatedly caught the ball, every time it blasted out of the hit.

There is also the performance of Tsunematsu Ogawa to withstand the offensive of Qingdao.

Both proved that the two teams were back on the same page in attack and defense.

No one can overpower the other.

And this was verified again in the attack in the second half of the fifth game.

"Whew!"

"Huh"

"Pong!!"

"Damn! Are all outside corners so heavy!? ”

Miyuki's expression on the strike zone changed.

The bat that can't be controlled.

"Huh"

The shadow of the ball flying upside down.

It slammed into the ground in front of third base.

"Bang!"

The thud of the landing.

The shadow of the ball that was quickly intercepted by the shortstops.

"Whoosh"

"Smack!"

"Out"

Following the number of outs from the left field of Kominato Haru, Miyuki, who was the third base, was also directly taken to the first base to block the number of outs.

"Oooh! Fourth goal! Straight ball in the low position in the outside corner, extremely strong straight ball, the hitter Miyukijun was unable to resist the power of this ball, the ball shadow flew out upside down, the shortstop front, the first base was blocked out, and the second was out!! ”
