Chapter 31: The Meiji Jingu Conference Ends and Retires
In the seventh game, Jinguji was affected by the sixth game, and lost two points in a row in the hands of Komatomaki Komaki's beater, and Superintendent Kataoka had no choice but to replace him and let Yagami play to follow-up; Under such pressure, Yagami could not guarantee that he would end the seventh game without conceding points.
β¦β¦
"Qingdao has been scored again, and it is already 3:5."
In the stands, the players of the Shoshosha are watching the match between Seido and Koma Otomaki in the footsteps.
In the previous game, after Aodo won three points in a row from Okada Masahiro, they thought that Komatoma Komaki would not be so easy to reverse Aomichi, and it would be difficult to tell the winner until the last two games; Unexpectedly, the game only went to the seventh game, and Koma Otomaki had already completely defeated Qingdao's ace Jingujiichi and overtook the score. After Seido's relay pitcher Yagami came on the court, he could only let go of the runner on third base, and lost one more point to end the seventh inning.
"Koma Otoma, Komaki Ace Tanaka's strength is really too strong!" A member of the team said.
"In the face of such a strong Qingdao line, it can be completely suppressed, and it is worthy of being the trump card of the team that has dominated the country for two consecutive years."
On the other side of the stands, the Kansai players were also discussing the two teams in the arena.
"Aomichi's line of play has been completely suppressed, and although their supervisors want to adjust their tactics and make changes, they have nothing to do in the face of Komatomaki's unrivaled strength."
"In the cloudy final, I'm afraid we will also encounter Aomichi's powerlessness in the face of Komato's ace and will not be able to score effectively from his hands."
"yes, we have to find a way to break the pitch of Komato's Komaki ace."
"It's eleven forty-five o'clock." The rest of the Kansai players stood up and left the stands to head to Jingu for the second goal, and then it was up to them to win another ticket to the final.
"Tanaka knocked out the beaters of Qingdao again! Komatomakomai won the semi-finals with a score of 3:5 and advanced to the finals first. β
In the face of the strong strength of Komatoma Komaki ace, the score of the game was still fixed at 3:5 until the end, and Seido High School stopped in the semi-finals of the Yinji Jingu Conference by two points.
(Note: One of the prototypes of Jumo Daifumaki is Koma Otomaki, but I think the author Terashima should only use the school name, school uniforms and locations and other more detail-oriented things, as for the strength of the team, it should use the new dark horse team that has risen in those years, after all, Komagama Komaki is a traditional old powerhouse as a regular visitor to Koshien, not a new dark horse.) )
On November 15th, in the final of the Kansai vs. Komama Otomaki Koma, he was directly defeated by Komaomai Otomaki's ace General Tanaka and lost the game with a score of 0:5.
Let everyone who knows the result of this game have a clearer understanding of the strength of Komachi and Komaki, and even Kansai, a team that is almost the same as Komichi in terms of strength, was beaten by Tanaka Shogun, which means that Komachi Komaki's ace Tanaka Shoda also has the strength to clean up the line of Qingdao, so that everyone in Qingdao is eager to improve their strength as soon as possible, so as to avoid the spring Koshien more than four months later to encounter yesterday and today, they and Kansai in the face of Komachi Komaki ace when the sense of powerlessness.

Wednesday, November 16.
Overseer Kataoka put his hands behind his back, looked at the army lined up in front of him, and said, "Yin Zhi Jingu Conference, although everyone stopped at the top four, it also made us whiten the gap between us and the top teams in the country. β
Superintendent Kataoka paused here before continuing, "Three days later, Saturday is the official retirement match for third-year students, and I will be the referee at that time, and I will not give any guidance to both of you!" β
"Although it's just an intramural practice match, it's also a game for you to report to the seniors who are about to leave, I hope you can show your best state to fight with the seniors, so that they can see your growth and leave the club with confidence."
"Yes!" The people of the army present responded loudly.
Superintendent Kataoka nodded and continued, "Of course, they will also respond to you in the best possible condition, showing you what they have learned here and on the field over the past two years, and it is up to you how much you can learn from it. β
Superintendent Kataoka looked at the eager group in front of him and said expectantly, "I hope you can bring me a good game." β
"Yes!"
"Disband, train as usual these days." After Inspector Kataoka finished speaking, he left with Minister Ota next to him.

Saturday, November 19th.
In the afternoon, the third-grade retirement tournament, which had been scheduled more than a month ago, began.
Superintendent Kataoka served as the referee, and the third-year students were commanded by retired third-year catcher Hirodai Kiryu (named after a third-year student from Kokushikan in 2005), and the First Army, which consisted of first- and second-year students, was commanded by Chris.
Before the start of the game, the teams on both sides stood outside the rest area and looked at each other, and everyone's eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"We'll teach you one last lesson." Shoji Maeda, a third-year student (named after a third-year student in Teikyo in 2005), smiled with a mouth full of white teeth.
"Let's cheer up and let the seniors feel our determination!" Dongqingguo shouted loudly to everyone in the first army.
"Yes!" The people of the first army shouted loudly.
Superintendent Kataoka blew the whistle to signal the official start of the retirement match.
Third-year pitcher Yuto Fukuda (named after a third-year student at Tokai Osuda) stood on the pitcher's mound and watched as Taro Fukuda walked into the batting area, took a position waiting for the strike, and shot the baseball in his hand according to the code given by catcher Hiroshi Kiryu.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Taro Fukuda, who was actively swinging the bat on the first ball, swung the bat and the baseball flying from the pitcher mound and then staggered, waving the metal bat in his hand, and Taro Fukuda once again put on a gesture waiting for the strike.
βNice pitch.ββ
Hiroshi Kiryu, a third-year catcher, got up and passed the baseball back to Yuta Fukuda, and after crouching down again, he made a code and opened the ball cover.
Yuto Fukuda nodded, waved his arm, and threw the baseball in his hand, Taro Fukuda looked at the baseball flying from the pitcher's hill and the ball path was a little low and did not wave the bat in his hand, but the longitudinal change of the baseball before entering the home plate area caused the baseball to float slightly enough to let it fly over the good ball area above the home plate, and then was caught by the catcher Kiryu Hiroshi into the ball sleeve.
"Bang!"
βStrike.β
