Seido vs Hokkaido Sakae won with a score of 7:0.

The Qingdao crowd cheered and ran to the center of the arena to celebrate their victory in the first round.

When Seido and Hokkaido Sakae players lined up, most of the Hokkaido Sakae players had red eyes and cried. Although many people in Qingdao are a little unbearable about this, Koshien is such a place, and they can't do much more than pat each other's shoulders when shaking hands.

After bowing to the Hokkaido Sakae players, the Seido people stood in front of home plate and sang the school song, and then ran to the stands on the Seido side to bow and thank the cheering group and the spectators who supported them.

After returning to the rest area, the Qingdao people quickly sorted out the items they had brought, and the next game will start soon, and players from other schools will also use it.

After packing up the belongings they had brought, the Seido people lined up again, bowed to the reporters, and followed Superintendent Kataoka into the exit passage.

Soon Supervisor Kataoka and captain Higashi Kiyokuni were left behind by the waiting host, and Minister Ota left with the others first.

In the next game between Yokohama and the Shoshosha, the Qingdao people should stay and watch, but because they can't find a good viewing position, and the winner between Yokohama and the Shoshosha needs them to reach the semi-finals, it is more appropriate to let the players who are tired after the game go back to the homestay to watch the TV broadcast.

After a two-kilometer journey, the school bus took only three or four minutes to take them back to their homestay.

After getting off the bus, regardless of the sweat and mud on their bodies, they went straight to the conference room on the first floor and turned on the TV to watch the ongoing Yokohama vs. Joshosha match.

Although they rushed back quickly, they were still delayed for a certain amount of time because of the post-match interview, and the game was already in the second half of the third game, and the score of the two sides was 0:0.

They watched the game broadcast on the TV so engrossed in that they didn't even notice that the service staff at the B&B had come.

In the room that was used as a conference room by the Seido people, Yokohama's match against the Shoshosha had already reached the bottom half of the sixth inning.

"Still haven't been able to score."

"Judging from these three games, the defense of both sides is very good, so it's no wonder that they can't score."

"I hit a lot of hits, but I didn't score."

There was a lot of discussion about this, and Kentaro Matsuda took out the scorebook and recorded the data of this game.

It wasn't until the top half of the eighth inning that their game turned around, when Yokohama hit a home run from the hand of Yoshashasha ace Uotani to take the lead and break the stalemate between the two sides.

After that, the two sides were entangled with a score of 1.0 until the end of the game, and the company lost to Yokohama by one point.

After watching the game, the Qingdao team members adjusted the TV to video mode, then got up and left the conference room, walked to the lobby on the first floor to find their backpacks and ball equipment, and brought them back to their rooms, and then took a change of clothes to the bathroom to take a bath.

The second battle between Seido and Kansai will take place five days later on March 29, during which time there will be plenty of time for them to recuperate and train.

Four days passed quickly. During this time, in addition to their daily training, Seido people also collected a lot of information about Kansai's competitions in previous regional competitions and research on them from other schools.

On the afternoon of March 28, Superintendent Kataoka began to announce the starting lineup for the second round:

"The following is the announcement of tomorrow's starting lineup, a bat, shortstops, Fukuda; second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka; Three, right fielder, Ota; Four, third baseman, East; Five bats, Nakamidfielder, Mumurasuke; Six, left fielder, Fujii; Sevens, First Baseman, Yuuki; Eight sticks, catcher, Matsuda; Nine, pitcher, Yagami. ”

"Yes!" The person who was named by Superintendent Kataoka nodded in response.

Superintendent Kataoka thought for a moment and felt that there was nothing to add, so he could only tell them to rest early today and then adjourn the meeting.

Qingdao people left the conference room one after another, chatted with each other and walked to the room where they lived.

……

The next day, 8:45 a.m.

On the field, the court staff were busy filling the line and leveling the ground, and on both sides of the field, the players of Qingdao and Kansai were doing their own warm-up exercises.

Yagami stood on the high ground of the cowshed and went back and forth with Matsuda-senpai doing pitching practice.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Kentaro Matsuda stretched out his ball sleeve to catch Yagami's aggressive pitch.

The time for practice always passed quickly, and before Yagami had even finished his game, the staff signaled to them that their second battle with Kansai was about to begin.

Seido and Kansai players lined up on the side of the field, and at the referee's order, they rushed onto the field at the same time, lined up in two teams in front of home plate, and after bowing, the Seichi players withdrew from the field, while the Kansai players stayed, and each dispersed to their own positions.

After Kansai's pitcher Nakamura and catcher Ohara made a few shots, Aomichi's batter Taro Fukuda walked to home plate and waved his bat a few times before entering the batting area and taking a stand.

The referee looked at his watch and saw that it was 9 a.m., almost the time, and signaled that the game had officially begun.

"Buzz-buzz!"

At 9:01 a.m., the sound of air raid sirens sounded over the stadium.

Nakamura followed the code given to him by catcher Ohara and threw the first ball of the game with a flick of his arm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

Ohara, the catcher of Kansai, firmly catches the baseball that is speeding from the pitcher's mound.

“Strike.“

Nakamura Shoki's first shot, Aomichi's bat, Taro Fukuda's swing, missed.

Ohara got up and threw the baseball back to pitcher Nakamura, squatted down again, and gave him a code, opening and setting up the case. Nakamura stood on the pitcher's mound and nodded, straightened his body, raised his left leg, raised his right hand, leaned his body center of gravity forward, and then flicked his arm with all his might, and the baseball flew out of his palm.

"Whew!"

After the baseball flew off the pitcher's mound and sprinted towards home plate, Taro Fukuda stepped out with his left foot to the side and swung the bat with both hands.

"Huh!"

Taro Fukuda swung the bat a step too late, and the baseball sprinted over the top of home plate and into the ball set set by catcher Ohara.

“Strike.“

Taro Fukuda frowned, waved the metal bat in his hand, and then raised the bat again and made a posture of waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

The baseball sped away from the pitcher's mound again, and Taro Fukuda swung his metal bat at a faster pace.

"Huh!"

However, this time it was the baseball that flew over a beat slower, and when Taro Fukuda's bat had swept across the entire home plate, it flew over the home plate and drilled into the open sleeve of catcher Ohara.

“Strike out.“

The referee signaled that the hitter of Qingdao was out, and Kansai successfully won the first number of exits in the first half of the first game.
