(Continued)

[In the second half of the 9th inning, 2 people are out, and there are people on first and third base, this is Akashi Chaofeng's last chance to reverse, what will be the result? ] The beater is 2 bats and sixty grains...... The first ball swung the bat, and the ball was blocked by Dong Guo's body! The first baseman stepped on the base and received the ball, OUT! The game is over! 1 to 0! The first-grade pitcher Dong Guo finished the pitch and Chengfeng High School entered the finals for the first time! Last year's king Akashi Super Wind Drink Hate Semifinals! 】

INTERVIEWER Is this a plot written by a cartoonist? No, I'm afraid cartoonists wouldn't dare to make it up! The opponent is the Akashi Chaofeng School Park, which has dominated Hyogo Prefecture for many years, and last summer also dominated the country.,The normal script shouldn't be a defeat in the first grade.,Continue to work hard in the second grade? And such a strong opponent was also finished by a first-year Chinese pitcher! I'm afraid that the result of such a competition will be enough to cause a sensation in Japan, right? I'm afraid even the Chinese baseball world will fry the pot!

"Salute on both sides!"

"Thank you for the advice!"

Watching Akashi Chaofeng's contestants cry and salute, Shiiichi still can't believe that what is in front of him is true.

After the match, Shiiichi saw Daisuke wiping tears and saying something to the device somewhere in the stadium, and he guessed that Yasei would definitely take revenge next time. When Daisuke saw Shikichi, he also glared at him and quickly walked away.

- If it was us who lost, I'm afraid some people would cry, but they would never regret it like they did. Is this a psychological gap?

In the finals on the second day, the instrument was hidden, but the semi-finals that slashed the king off the horse Chengfeng High School was unstoppable.

【Contest over!】 5 to 2! Chengfeng High School defeated Kansai No. 2 High School and entered Koshien for the first time! 】

And it really did. Once upon a time, he said that he wanted to play baseball in the country of baseball, especially in Koshien Stadium, and now he has achieved it as fast as he can!

When you get to the national arena, you will compete with more strong opponents. This summer, Chengfeng High School finally finished in the national quarterfinals. Knocking out Seikaze High School in the playoff round was Meiji Kogyo from East Tokyo, who had won several national championships before. But even a traditional powerhouse like Meiji Kogyo lost in the final to the powerful Tateshisha from Osaka. Although it is a pity that it has not been able to go further, there are no regrets for the seniors of Chengfeng High School.

"It's a pity, but if we climb over the wall of Meiji Industrial, we might be the ones who will face off against Ritseisha, so I don't know who the final champion will be...... said.

"You're so greedy! At first, you just said that you wanted to compete in Koshien, and you wanted to dominate the whole country so quickly? Shiichi whispered, "But...... In the second half of the 11th inning, one person was out of the game and full base, if it weren't for the fact that I played a double kill......"

"You hit the ball very well, the moment you hit it, I even thought it was a goodbye long hit, but I didn't expect that the third baseman flew to catch it, it really deserved to be ironclad, and he could make such a beautiful ......" Qi sighed, "No, the defeat is still me after all, if it weren't for the 2 points I was beaten to win...... If I had been stronger......"

"You're really anxious, your name has become popular in China, do you know what your name is on the Internet in China now? Dongguo hero! Shi Yi shouted, "Dongguo Daxia, we are only in the first grade, and Koshien is not only in summer, but also in spring!" There's no need to be in such a hurry......"

"I'm ......" interrupted suddenly, "I'm afraid I don't have that much time......

Shi Yiden was stunned, and he felt that there was something in his words, but he didn't dare to think deeply. But after being silent for a while, he couldn't help but say, "That...... What's not so much time? ”

He thought for a moment, then the corners of his mouth went up, and he said, "Although we are in the first grade, we are the same age as Senior Nakano, which means that by the time we are in the third grade, we will already be past our 18th birthday, and we will not be able to participate in the official competition at that time......"

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "It seems that there is indeed such a rule...... After so many years of studying in Japan, I almost forgot that I still had a gap of half a year! ”

"But...... The nickname of Dongguo Daxia is quite domineering! "I don't hate it!" ”

Due to the active performance this summer, Chengfeng has also adjusted its future goal to dominate the country.

***

Due to the results of the top eight in the country, many third-year seniors such as Maekawa Mitsuni volunteered to stay in the team until the end of the National Sports Conference in October, and they helped to run in the new team in the team, and Nakano Heixing also took over as captain. Since there is no need to participate in the regional precedent selection for the fall prefectural competition, Chengfeng High School has accepted many applications for practice competitions from other schools during this time. At the beginning, the coach arranged Shikiichi to play in the center, but after a few practice games, Shikiichi didn't hit a single hit, and his batter was also put back in the following games. That deadly double kill seemed to cast a shadow on him.

- Maybe I'm suffering from yips......

In September, the Hyogo Prefecture Autumn Contest was held as scheduled. According to the results of the draw, Chengfeng High School and Akashi Chaofeng Gakuen fell into the same district, and they will face each other in the third round, and many people blame the new captain Nakano for his bad luck.

In the first round, Chengfeng had a bye in high school, and in the second round, he also successfully advanced, so he really faced Akashi Chaofeng again in the third round. This time, Daisuke has become the main catcher of the team through hard work, and he is already fierce for revenge.

In this game, Coach Kamibeppu arranged Senior Goto as the starting pitcher, also to reduce the burden on the device. Goto also played well and suppressed the opponent's first round of play. But in the fifth game......

[Home run! Akashi Chaofu's 5-stick Nikaido did not let go of Goto's straight ball! Akashi Chaofeng finally broke the deadlock, 1-0! 】

Under Daisuke's shot, the situation seemed to start to tip Akashi Chaofu's side, and then they hit base with hits and four bad balls, and Chengfeng High School fell into a full-base crisis.

At this moment, the device was replaced, and the whole team seemed to be watching him like a savior. Outcome......

[Akashi Chaofeng's eight generations are forced to score points without thinking! ] The pitcher flies to catch the ball! The ball bounced off the glove and was caught by the arrester! Third base runner OUT! The catcher passes first base...... It's also OUT! Double Kill! Relying on the beautiful defense of pitcher Dong Guo, Chengfeng High School survived this crisis by conceding only 1 point! 】

- It's only 1 point, but it's not very easy to chase.

However, in the second half of the next 5 innings, Shiichi knew that he was thinking too much.

[Home run! Yangchun home run! Chengfeng High School hit a deuce home run so quickly! The all-out blow of the North Road equalized the score for Chengfeng Academy! 1 to 1! 】

The score of 1-1 was maintained like this, and there was no winner after 9 rounds. However, in the second half of the 10th round of the play-off, something that Shikiichi couldn't even think of finally happened......

[Fly out!] Goodbye 2-point home run! Pitcher Dong Guo personally drew an end to this game! 3 to 1! No one thought that this year's biggest dark horse Chengfeng High School would slash the king Akashi Chaofeng twice in a row in Xia and Autumn! 】

- Sure enough, he is still good, he is the one who is favored by the god of baseball, and I can only watch the gap between myself and him getting bigger and bigger.

In this game, Shiichi didn't make it to the starting lineup, but only played as a substitute at the last moment, or relied on the base of the immortal strikeout, and then was sent back to home plate by his home run, and even the strength to run the base was saved......

He couldn't help but wonder how useless he would be if he didn't even have these scuds one day......
