At the end of the nine-game game, the score of Qingdao and the Shoshosha was finally fixed at 7:6, and Aodo lost to the Shoshosha by one point.

Although Aodo lost the practice match, Superintendent Kataoka was not dissatisfied, and he even sent the Superintendent and the team members away with a smile on his face.

"It was a good game indeed." Superintendent Okada, who was sent to the bus by Superintendent Kataoka, smiled and shook Superintendent Kataoka's hand and said, "The current Yagami is enough to be an excellent trump card, which is really enviable!" Not to mention that you have recruited two excellent first-year catchers this year, and I think your school will become a regular visitor to Koshien in the next 2 or 3 years...... I look forward to seeing each other in Koshien and having a good match at that time. ”

"I hope to meet ...... again in Koshien"

As the captain, Dong Kiyokuni still followed the superintendent Kataoka to bid farewell to the people of the Shoshosha, and he stood next to the superintendent of Kataoka, listening to his conversation with the superintendent of the Shoshosha, while looking at Yagami who was talking to the ace of the Shoshosha not far away.

The two chatted happily, Yagami Ye didn't know what he was saying to each other with a smile on his face, and the boy with dark blue hair also listened to Yagami Yagami with a smile.

"Brother Yugu, I was looking forward to you playing and being able to have a long-lost showdown."

"If you want to face off, as long as both of our teams make it to Koshien!" Yugu smiled and replied.

"If that's the case, we will be the ones who win the victory in Koshien and dominate the country."

The two of them chatted like this for five or six minutes, and Yagami said goodbye to each other before turning around and walking towards Kataoka to supervise them.

……

Superintendent Kataoka is very satisfied with today's practice match, it is true that the other party did not show all his strength to fight against Qingdao, but Qingdao people can play such results in a tired state, especially in the last few games, the strength they showed and refused to give up is what he values the most! This is also the reason why he is sad about Kurosaki Ichigao's transfer, but he will not regret it, because a player who does not have a strong will and the drive to give up will cannot achieve excellent results in the cruel world of high school football.

Superintendent Kataoka, who was in a good mood, just let the first army run ten laps around the stadium and let them disband on their own.

It is rare that the army of people who can move freely before it gets dark will meet in twos and threes to continue practicing or seize the time to review their homework.

When Yagami came to the reference room, he happened to see Chris coming out of it with a disc in his hand.

"The video of the practice session just now?" Yagami asked.

"Well, do you want to watch it together?" Chris nodded.

"Okay," Yagami Ye originally came to borrow the video, and after gladly accepting it, he remembered Chris's borrowing record he had seen before, and said to him casually: "You, you have watched so many game materials during this time, you should pay attention to your eyes, if you are short-sighted, it will be troublesome." ”

Yagami didn't want Chris...... No, it's my partner who didn't pay attention and became short-sighted.

"Of course."

……

"Here we are." Yagami opened the door to his bedroom, walked in first, found the remote control for the TV and DVD, and turned on the TV.

Chris walked over and put the borrowed disc into the DVD, turned around and sat down next to Yagami and began to watch the video.

The two of them just watched the video and discussed it, and before they knew it, it was time for dinner, so they could only pause the video first, and then go to the cafeteria for dinner.

After dinner, they went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Yagami and Chris returned to the dormitory to finish watching the rest of the unfinished video, and then went to the reference room to return the disc.

The next day's two games started as scheduled, and in the morning match with Teto, neither side sent the best lineup on the field, Seido changed three substitutes (including Miyuki Kazuya) on the field, and Teto also changed four substitutes on the field.

After Didong stood in the batting area, he looked at the Qingdao catchers who were squatting behind the home plate, and felt that they were underestimated by Qingdao, and dared to let a first-year freshman take the lead in squatting, even if this first-year freshman was a famous catcher in the middle school period! Wait a moment to cry out when you are scared by their blows, but don't blame them for being too ruthless.

For the first ball, Yukiichi also asked the senior of Jinguji for a curved ball in the inner corner; Jinguji on the pitcher's mound nodded and threw the baseball in his hand.

"Whew!"

……

In the end, Qingdao and Teto won this practice match with a score of 5:4, and neither Kataoka nor Teto's Okamoto supervisor made any comments on the result of this practice match when they said goodbye after the game.

They just shook hands politely and said to each other, "See you in Koshien." And they separated.

After a brief lunch break, the First Army ushered in a practice match with Urawa Academy.

Although the strength of Urawa Gakuin is not as strong as that of the Tokyo metropolitan area, such as schools such as Teto, Nizo and Inagi Industry, they are also strong schools in Saitama Prefecture that can enter Koshien from time to time, plus the strength of Koichiro Tanba and Yu Sakai, who came on as a substitute in the back, is not as strong as Yagami Yagami and Jingu Teraichi in front, even if Chris leads everyone as the heart and soul of the team, they still can't win this practice match.

Qingdao eventually lost the practice match with a score of 3:4, and Qingdao ended up losing all three practice matches in these two days. After seeing off the Urawa College group, Superintendent Kataoka asked all the members of the baseball club to gather, and he looked at the black members in front of him with his hands behind his back, and was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Whether it is a joint training or a practice match, it is over until today, and tomorrow I will officially announce the back number of the first army." Now, go and run twenty laps to disband. ”

"Yes." Everyone in the baseball club answered in unison, and then lined up in the order of the first, second, and third armies and began to run around the court.

……

On Wednesday, July 5, after school in the afternoon, the members of the Seido Baseball Club came to the indoor training ground one after another to wait for Superintendent Kataoka's speech and the announcement of the back number of the First Army.

Everyone in the baseball club was gathering in groups to chat.,Soon Superintendent Kataoka、Minister Ota and Miss Rei Takashima have arrived at the indoor training ground.,They quickly gathered and stood up.,Waiting for Superintendent Kataoka to speak.。。

Everyone in the baseball club looked at the number bib that Takashima was holding, and they were more or less nervous and excited.

Although only members of the First Army can get the number to represent Qingdao in the Summer Liga Qualifiers and even the National Wild Ball Tournament in Colleges and Universities, the members of the Second and Third Army are also looking forward to the issuance of the number.
