Chapter 166

The hitters in the strike zone saw the baseball coming towards them, but they still couldn't dodge it.

I can only turn my head and want to protect myself by the protection of the helmet.

The baseball slammed into the batter's helmet with a heavy thud, and the hitter fell to the ground.

The sudden situation made everyone stunned all of a sudden, but the referee reacted suddenly.

Peeling off the protective gear, he squatted beside the beater and asked,

"Classmate, are you still conscious?"

The beater seemed to be a little difficult to say,

"Well, it's fine."

"Classmate, what's your name?"

"Hiroshi Haraguchi...."

"Where are you now?"

"Hanshin Koshien Stadium...."

After the referee asked a few simple questions, the stretcher was also brought, although it can be seen from the questions that Haraguchi's consciousness is still very clear.

But after all, it was hit in the head, and it is unknown what other adverse reactions there will be, so at this moment I can only ask for a big substitution.

Rong Chun looked at the giant player who was carried away, and was a little overwhelmed at the moment, and the hand that threw the ball was trembling slightly.

This happened, and Yuyuki naturally wouldn't let Rong Chun stay alone,

"Sawamura, are you okay?"

"Miyuki senior, that senior has fallen down...."

Miyuki looked at Rong Chun, whose face was pale, and considering that he had not experienced many things, comforted,

"Sawamura, that incident just now was just an accident, don't get too entangled."

"But...."

Rong Chun seemed to want to say something, but he couldn't say anything.

"Don't tell me you can't shoot because of this...."

Miyuki saw Rong Chun's body tremble, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly increased.

The hand on Rong Chun's shoulder was also constantly shrinking and clenching, and the raindrops crackled down, but no one paid attention to this at the moment.

Rong Chun thought of the senior who was carried down on a stretcher, and he kept saying to the referee and his supervisor,

"I'm fine, I'm okay..."

Struggling to get up from the stretcher, the senior was a third-grader, and this was his first and last time participating in Koshien, but it was all buried by him.

I couldn't stop trembling when I thought of this Rong Chun, seeing such Rong Chun, Yu Xing had only one thought in his heart,

'No, he's broken...'

"Smack!"

A slap sounded in Yu Yuyu's ears, and he looked at Rong Chun with some shock.

Rong Chun slapped himself, different from the previous sober style, this time he didn't spare his hand at all.

The strength of being a pitcher made his face swollen all of a sudden,

"Sawamura, you're okay...."

Yu Yuyuki's voice trembled a little at this moment, to be honest, he was frightened by Rong Chun.

"Yes, I'm fine, Miyuki-senpai."

Rong Chun's face was gone, and his eyes were cold.

"Don't worry, I'll do my best, it's not time for me to take over yet, is it?"

"Hmm... Well... Then let's move on. ”

Rong Chun returned to the pitcher mound and stood up, quietly tidying up the ground under his feet, the previous mistake, Rong Chun would not let him happen again.

Although Rong Chun himself said that it was okay, Yu Xing was still a little worried.

He placed his gloves low in the outside corner and called a straight ball to confirm Young-chun's status.

Without any hesitation, the ball was stuffed directly into Miyuki's gloves, I don't know if it was in the rain for too long, or Miyuki, who was scared by Rongchun's pitching, hit a spirit,

'Now, it really scares me....'

Not only did Miyuki have an idea, but the batters of the nine sticks were also a little surprised,

"Oh, the pitch is as powerful as before, nothing has changed, this first year is stronger than I expected, I thought it would be even more flawed." ’

Rong Chun didn't feel what other people were thinking, and for him, he just wanted to solve the beater in front of him now.

Now the situation on the field is that there are people on first and second base, and once they are out, they have to point to someone.

Yu Xing called a few outside corners in a row, and although Rong Chun could throw them accurately, he was constantly hit by the nine sticks of the giant motor.

Seeing that Yu Xing once again played the code of the outside corner, Rong Chun felt a warm heart, knowing that Yu Xing was afraid that he would not be able to throw an inside corner kick in his state.

However, Rong Chun still shook his head slightly,

'Miyuki senior, a simple outside corner kick can't solve the giant hitter, and the baseball he hits is getting closer and closer to the boundary. ’

Seeing Rong Chun's head, Yu Xing, who was still a little hesitant, became firm now, his juniors are so courageous, how can he drag his feet.

Then, Miyuki moved his body and placed the gloves in the inner corner.

Rong Chun nodded and put on a pitching pose.

Baseball, with the courage of Ei-chun, splits the rain curtain and smashes into Miyuki's glove. I don't know if it's because of the water vapor, but the sound of this ball is extraordinarily loud.

Looking at the baseball that accurately entered the glove, Rong Chun slowly exhaled, and Miyuki also relaxed.

The nine-batter, who was finally solved by a straight ball in the inside corner, could only silently leave the strike zone at the moment.

"Just focus on baseball, that pitcher won't leave the flaws for you."

The batter who heard this nodded, he understood what it meant, which meant that the previous accident had not had any effect on the pitcher.

Yes, if it's the kind of crying and repentance, I don't feel good. ’

Since there was nothing wrong with Eijun's inside corner, Miyuki naturally used it as well, and the first ball was a pitch with a high inside corner.

The aggressive baseball made the hitter can't help but dodge back.

'Wow, I just threw a touch ball, aren't you afraid of the second one?' ’

Although he thought so in his heart, the hitter's position still moved back slightly, and Miyuki, who noticed this small change, immediately called a carter ball in the inner corner.

The exaggerated change made the hitter unable to keep up for a while, and Miyuki earned a good number of balls, and then threw a knuckle ball in the middle, because the number of appearances was small, and the hitter did not react.

In the end, Miyuki finished with a straight ball from the outside corner, and just when Miyuki thought that the hitter couldn't hit the ball, the hitter took a big step forward, turned his waist, and hit the ball hard.

The baseball flew out of the crowd until it hit the scoreboard in Koshien.

The sudden loss of points made Qingdao not react, and the support on Ju Mo Da's side was also active, and in the seventh inning, Ju Mo Da successfully turned the tables by relying on a home run.

The Seongdo players did not pay attention to the changes in the Koshien scoreboard at the moment, but looked at the pitcher's calm shoulders on the mound, and he lowered his head to see the expression clearly.

After a while, Rong Chun slowly raised his head, and in everyone's eyes, he hooked a shallow smile and shouted,

“two out! two out! ”

Rong Chun used his fingers to make a two-out pose, turned his body, and looked at the guards around him, as if the ball just now had no effect on him.

Everyone else naturally responded loudly to Rong Chun, and Rong Chun turned around with satisfaction after shouting and playing, and posed in front of Yu Xing.

Calmly confirm the code of good luck.,Then take the last number of outs.,Surrounded back to the rest area.。

Standing in the rest area, he looked at Rong Chun who came back, and handed over the towel in his hand and his extra lining, Rong Chun looked at him and said softly,

"Thank you, Downvalley."

Rong Chun stood at the innermost part of the rest area, took off his wet baseball uniform, and put on the inner lining that Shizugu had lent him.

When the clothes were halfway through, the voice of Isashiki's senior came through the crowd,

"Sawamura, look at it, it's just a point over, I'll get it back for you at once."

Rong Chun, who was blocked by his clothes, burst into tears, Rong Chun grabbed his clothes and covered his face, but he couldn't stop his tears.

After a while, Rong Chun freed himself from his clothes and sat in the last row of the rest area wearing the lining of the valley.

Hands on laps, head down, towel covered.

Everyone knew that Rong Chun was very uncomfortable at the moment, but they couldn't think of anything to comfort him.

Tambo and Chris, who were practicing throwing in the cowshed, also returned to the rest area, and in the next game, Qingdao was about to change pitches.

And Izaki on the field did not deceive Rong Chun, he said that he would help Rong Chun regain a point.

Izzoshiki, who was standing on second base, raised his arms and roared.

Rong Chun's performance deeply stimulated the other players in Qingdao, and they couldn't imagine what Rong Chun's mentality was like in the last game.

The touch ball caused the opponent to go off the court and lose a three-point home run all at once, but why can you still be so strong.

'The juniors are so reliable, why should we not score!' Look, Sawamura, it's us who are the protagonists of this year's Hagar! ’

The formation that was scorched by Izasaki's eyes lived up to his expectations, and the home run was to be returned with a home run!

The score lost in the first half of the seventh inning, and Qingdao regained it again in the second half.

Ju Mo Da is also a pitcher who has just been replaced on the court, and the ace pitcher who came on the court was hit twice by the center of Qingdao.

Although he lost points as soon as he came up, Morita did not panic because of this, but took advantage of this to set a trap.

Two strikeouts in quick succession, and then Hakushu once again relied on a hit in front of the right field to reach first base.

After that, Seichi chose to play on behalf of him, and Kominato Haruichi stood on the stage of the finals.

His thin body makes it difficult to be wary of him, but he is also expected by everyone to hold a wooden bat.

Haruichi Kominato raised his left leg slightly, blocking the space in the inner corner with his body.

Looking at the curveball that flew towards the outer corner as he expected, Haruichi Kominato, who had no distractions, waved his bat without hesitation.

The bat clicked and the baseball was knocked out.

The small body contains great power, and the stalwart of the giant who originally thought that he would not be able to fight far and stood a little forward is desperately hind at the moment.

But the baseball still landed in front of his eyes, and with this second-base hit, Qingdao once again ushered in a good situation of having people on second and third base.

Sakai, who is facing someone in the circle again, is worried about whether he can seize this opportunity.

As usual, he swung his bat sharply, but Morita, who was rich in ball species, didn't give him more chances, and directly solved Sakai with three change balls in succession.

Ace vs. ace, Tanba, the ace pitcher of Seido in the eighth inning, also stood on the court.

Tamba, who was unable to play in the last match, left all his energy for the final.

The opening game is Tanba's signature --- longitudinal curveball. The completely different change ball from Rongchun made the players unable to adapt to it for a while.

Tanba is not as rich as Morita in terms of ball species, but Morita is not as powerful as Tanba when a single ball type is brought out.

Tamba, who was in good shape, relied on his longitudinal curved ball and finger fork ball to deceive one hitter after another and won the first half of the eighth game.

When he returned to the rest area, he saw Rong Chun, who was still sitting in the last row depressed, still wearing the coat that others had given him to keep warm.

Tambo glanced at Chris, who shook his head helplessly at him and sighed softly.

Tanba grabbed the towel in his hand, walked around the others, and came to Rong Chun.

Rong Chun looked at the sneakers that suddenly appeared in front of him, and there was no reaction.

Suddenly, as soon as his head sank, he heard the voice of Tamba's senior,

"I just threw a good shot, and I got three strikeouts."

Tambo's head moved slightly, and Tambo said with a smile,

"But, without Sawamura, your support always feels like something is missing.

Kuramochi glanced at you before he came on the court, are you sure you don't want to cheer him up? He seems to be having a tough time right now. ”

Rong Chun's head against Tanbo's hand slowly raised, and Tanbo withdrew his palm and looked at Rong Chun.

Rong Chun saw his red-eyed and embarrassed self from Tanba's eyes, and then the sound of cheering for Kuramochi in front of him came to his ears.

He unconsciously stood up and came to the rest area, looking at the constant playing of throw-ins pestering Kuramochi.

The Kuramochi in the game is completely different from the usual one.,The Kuramochi in private is always bad-hearted.,But when the game is unexpectedly pure.。

He always shouts that he is handsome, but in fact, he is not at all now.

Covered in muddy water, he couldn't be called handsome for a long time, but even so, Kuramochi didn't stop waving his bat.

He knows he's not good at striking, but he can open the way for the best players in the team.

Baseball is never a one-man sport, whether it's defending or batting, you always have teammates in front and behind to support you.

"Come on, Kuramochi Senpai!"

Mixed with the many cheers, a slightly hoarse voice, but Kurachi still heard it, it was the sound of their small crying bag in room four, and the originally serious Kuramochi suddenly laughed,

I'll cry when I lose playing games, I'll cry when I practice fighting with him, I'll cry when I watch a girl's comic, I'll cry because I've done well in exams, and I'll cry because I've eaten something delicious, but it's such a guy, but I've never cried because of baseball.

Today's match was probably the toughest game of his life so far, and it was the first time I had seen such a depressed appearance.

Kuramochi, who was standing on the left seat, looked in the direction of the Seido rest area, as if he wanted to see something through the crowd, and on the baseball bag placed against the wall over there, there were two different omamori, small, not at all noticeable.
