By the time the second-year members returned from their school trip, it seemed that a long, long time had passed for Rong Chun and the others.

As the only one of the three grades to go on a school trip, they came back with souvenirs for their dorm mates or close friends.

It is not surprising that Rong Chun has become the one who has received the most gifts except for the third-year seniors.

Just when everyone was still immersed in tourism, Superintendent Kataoka dropped a bomb on everyone,

"Huh!? Red and white matches in the first and second grades? ”

"Why are you so surprised, seniors, I heard from the first grade, didn't the seniors suggest it?"

Hearing the news, Izaki and the others were actually shocked, after all, they were just joking, and they didn't expect that there would really be a red and white match.

"It's not who the seniors will propose.,Superintendent Kataoka rarely holds red and white at this time.,And it's also a first and second grade.。

"Maybe it's because the overseer wants to see if everyone's overall level has improved."

After a couple of conversations, the topic was put aside, after all, this kind of thing is too normal for them.

"Speaking of the Red and White Competition, the retirement competition of the seniors should also begin, right?"

Miyuki suddenly thought of such a thing,

"Also, usually the retirement tournament is until the fall tournament is over, at the end of October or when I am free in November."

"It's no problem to be so early this year."

Ryosuke Kominato said with a smile, but the meaning was poked at the second-year members like a knife.

But this is still a fact, and everyone has no room to refute, and then they bear a wave of anger from their predecessors.

The second-year members who had finally escaped from under their seniors glanced at each other and sighed helplessly.

'Sending off' the juniors, the third-year members also thought about the issue of retiring from the competition.

"Let's make it look like a fireworks display and hit a home run by one!"

"Or it's a small game, and the juniors only have the kind of infield guarding."

"Poof, what are you thinking, in that case, you won't let us score~~"

"Hahahaha....."

Yucheng pondered for a moment, raised his head to look at his companions beside him, and said slowly,

"Let's have an official match!"

The others didn't pay much attention to the retirement competition, after all, the closest thing to them right now was the first and second grade red and white tournaments.

The Red and White Tournament is scheduled for the weekend, and all players will still be on the field, including the members of the first team.

The second year has a relatively mature line, and the first year has a reliable pitcher, and this game will be unexpectedly very interesting.

I don't know where the news leaked from, but on the day of the Red and White Match, there were a lot of old OBs, and there were a few reporters mixed in with them.

During the period of Qingdao's off-season, Narumiya's Daocheng Industry entered the finals after defeating Qingdao.

The opponent was the Dark Horse Yakushi High School, and after a hard-fought battle, Inami finally managed to win the ticket to Koshien in the spring with a score of 5-3.

Therefore, many newspapers and reporters are very concerned about the early defeat of the former Koshien winning team in the autumn competition.

Hearing that Qingdao held a red and white match, they rushed to hear the news.

"Wow, that's too many."

"These old-timers are really idle on the weekend!"

Rong Chun even found the old OB who had quarreled before, and learned that they sent a lot of condolences during the game later, and Rong Chun was inevitably a little weak when he saw them.

Quietly hiding behind everyone, Rong Chun's posture as if covering his ears and stealing the bell naturally had no effect.

The sharp-eyed OB saw him at a glance,

"What are you hiding, Sawamura, I've been watching the game for so long, seeing me hiding, is it possible that you finally realized that you did something wrong in the last quarrel?"

Rong Chun, who was named, popped his head out of the team and said,

"I'm not wrong, it's obviously your problem, I can see you every weekend, don't you need to take care of the family? The boss doesn't call you to work overtime! ”

Although eating people is the shortest, Rong Chun, who insists that he is not wrong, still returns to his OB seniors.

Rong Chun's bluffing appearance amused the audience around him.

"Sawamura is still so interesting, he even quarreled with the old-timers, it's really okay."

"Hahahaha....."

Seeing that everyone around him was laughing at him, Rong Chun hid his popping head in the crowd again, pretending that nothing had happened.

Before the start of the match, Superintendent Kataoka announced the rules of the match, which were actually no different from the usual red and white matches, and there was still no supervision and guidance on both sides.

Unlike in the past, this game Kataoka supervisor will not give advice or substitutions to any team.

Everything is up to the players themselves, and the heads of both sides are appointed by Kataoka Superintendent, the second-year affair Miyuki, and the first-year Eijun.

After finishing speaking, he looked at Rong Chun and said,

"This is the red-and-white tournament you proposed, so let me see where you can go!"

That's when everyone realized where the game came from, which confused everyone.

"It turned out that you did a good thing in Sawamura!"

"Why don't you tell us!"

Looking at the angry appearance of his companions, Rong Chun was a little puzzled,

"Didn't the seniors in the third grade say that? I saw that you were very excited, so I went to the overseer, and I managed to win it with great difficulty. ”

said that Rong Chun still has some grievances, and everyone doesn't know what to say.

"We're really excited, but why don't you tell us in advance!"

Rong Chun smiled, touched his head and said innocently,

"I forgot!"

The tone is very cheerful, which makes people listen to the inexplicable fire.

"Okay, okay, now is not the time to talk about these things, the game is about to start, and our starters and basemen have not yet been decided!"

Kanemaru had to intervene to stop the increasingly hot scene.

At the mention of this, everyone fell silent and looked at Rong Chun.

In the eyes of everyone, Rong Chun thought about it for a while and decided the order.

The second-year team on the other side was quickly ready.

Rong Chun and Yu Xingchai decided to attack and defend the team, and in the end, Yu Xing won the first attack!

"It's surprising that you can win with a fight."

Everyone was a little shocked by Miyuki's victory this time.

Yu Yuki was not angry and said with a smile,

"Hahaha, because Sawamura's is too easy to guess."

Anyway, the game officially began, and as Miyuki thought, the first grade starter was Shibuya.

"It seems that the other side really wants to give us a dismount!"

The first-year team's starting pitcher is Shibuyani, first base is Nakamura, second baseman is Kominato Haruichi, shortstop is Takatsu, third baseman is Kanemaru, stalwart is Tojo, left field Teramoto, right field Yamanaka, catcher is Karimba!

Looking at the starting lineup that clearly didn't want the second-year team to control the game, the second-year players were ready for a long time.

The first time he played the table, Kuramachi did not choose the usual right seat, but stood on the left.

Generally, it will only be chosen when Kuramochi is seriously preparing to grab points and go to base.

This somewhat unexpected situation made the first-year team a little panicked.

'The seniors are serious! ’

This year was full of the players' minds, and at this time, Rong Chun's voice came from the rest area of the first grade,

"Downhill suppresses him with the power of the ball, you can do it! Others pay attention to short fights to prevent the seniors from stealing points. ”

The second half of the sentence is okay, it is what many overseers will say to Kurachi, but the first half of the sentence is very interesting.

As if it was certain that Kuramochi would lose to the ball power of the valley, such a frank and swaying appearance instantly aroused Kuramochi's anger.

But it's just angry.,Kuramochi on the court has always been very calm.。

Under the watchful eye of the Uchino garrison, Kuramochi did not use short strikes, but opted for normal strikes.

It's not that he can't succeed in the guard, but Kuramochi wants to see where he can go.

Inami's Carlros was just as immobile as him, but the two points that Eong-chun lost in that game were related to him.

This inevitably led to a competitive mentality, and he would probably lose slightly to the opponent physically, but he would never lose again in terms of support for the pitcher.

"Phew!"

Kuramochi sped out, but although he stepped on second base, he was still out, and stalwart Tojo caught the ball.

However, Kuramochi's speed really scared the first-year players.

"It's so fast, if Tojo doesn't catch it, let's hit second base properly, maybe I can go to third base with a rush!"

"Of course, Kuramochi's speed is very reliable in his own team, but as an opponent, there is nothing more worrying than him."

Rong Chun's tone was full of pride and guard, and to some extent, he was reluctant to hold on to Kamikura.

"It's a pity, Kurachi...."

"Continue next time!"

"Tsk, I really let that kid from Sawamura say it right, this time he really lost to the ball power of the valley."

Kuramochi was slightly upset, and the slightly reddened palm after removing the gloves showed the power of the ball.

Standing in the strike zone after Kuramochi was Kijima, the second-year player who admired Ryosuke Kominato.

He was also a member of the First Army, but he didn't start and rarely played.

But his strength is definitely not weak, and like Ryosuke Kominato, he belongs to the grappling type of fighter.

He constantly hits the baseball out of bounds and picks the ball carefully to turn the ball count in his favor.

However, the valley has also experienced a lot of growth over such a long period of time.

Coupled with the previous cooperation with the hunting field, seeing the secret signal made by the hunting field, Shizuya nodded and threw the ball violently.

Kijima didn't react and swung the bat, and the baseball dropped sharply at home plate, and it was a quick finger cross.

Although Kijima swung his stick, Kajiba didn't catch the ball and bounced out of his glove, but fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly picked it up and killed Kijima.

Kajiba passed the baseball back to Shibuya, and although he can catch Shitani's straight ball now, he still only has a nearly half success rate for Shitani's change ball.

"Descending valley-kun, the vote is very good! Let's go ahead and have another one! ”

After shouting in the hunting ground, he hammered the gloves hard and put them back in place.

'Don't worry, I'll stop it!' ’

Although he doesn't like to talk and doesn't communicate much, he unexpectedly makes the catcher worry, basically he doesn't shake his head at the code, and just sends every ball into the catcher's glove in the best condition.

The trio was Hakushu, and after entanglement with two balls, he was knocked out by a longitudinal slider from the valley.

Rong Chun, who was in the rest area, looked at the ball with bright eyes, obviously a little unwilling to admit defeat, but his expression was smiling,

"This kid is throwing a great shot!"

Because of the short nature of the autumn competition, Shigu did not throw this ball in the official competition, and Rong Chun never knew about it.

Later, when it was still a training camp, Rong Chun and Falling Valley were opponents, and when Rong Chun hit the straight ball of Falling Valley, the second hit after Falling Valley, Falling Valley threw this ball towards Rong Chun.

At that time, Rong Chun's expression was not to mention how shocked, and it was simply described as like,

My opponent was secretly learning a new game behind my back, and I didn't know it yet. ’

And this inexplicable anger erupted after learning that this new ball type of Shigu had been practicing for a long time, and unilaterally announced a cold war with Shigu.

said that it was a cold war, but Rong Chun didn't speak, but the other side was secretly paying attention to the pitching of the valley.

"It's a good shot, and the longitudinal slide is in good shape."

"I thought there would be more flaws in this pair of casting, but I didn't expect the cooperation to be good."

"Ah, although I don't catch the ball very well, but it's all controlled in front of me, and this catcher is very stable."

Miyuki and Ono exchanged the performance of Ichizuya and Hunting.

Then it's time to get ready to play, the starting lineup on the sophomore side is Pitcher Ohashi, First Baseman Maezono, Second Baseman Kijima, Shortstop Kurachi, Third Baseman Higasa, Left Field Aso, Right Field Hakushu, Stalwart Oishi, Catcher Ono!

Miyuki's arrangement made the first-year students a little confused.,Unlike the elite of the first-year side.,Miyuki's side is basically half.。

The garrisons in the inner and outer fields are basically members of the first army, but the catchers and pitchers are not the main force.

This arrangement made the others wonder what Miyuki was thinking.

But no matter who is on the field, it's not easy for a first-year team to play.

Even after training for so long, the first grade still feels a little lacking in confidence in front of the seniors.

However, everyone's morale is still very high, and that little problem can still be overcome.

The first grade side of the batter is Yamanaka, and in the first grade, the foot is relatively fast, and the batter has a relatively high hitting rate.

In addition, they are not ignorant when they first entered the school, and they have a certain understanding of the players on the field.

Unlike the highly talented Shibuyani, Eijun, and Kawakami, who has a special posture, the starting pitcher Ohashi is an orthodox Benge pitcher with a good straight ball and a change ball as a deciding shot.

What's more, Ohashi also often serves as a feeding pitcher.

So Yamanaka still has a certain understanding of him.

Similarly, the second-year students are very aware of the situation in the mountains.

With Ono's matching balls, each of Ohashi's balls is thrown in a position that Yamanaka is not good at.

After barely making a shot, he was intercepted by third baseman Hikasa, and the pass to first base was successfully stabbed.
