Chapter 404: Decisive Victory and Retrial (Twenty-two)
Today, the third time he has climbed the home run wall, Murasuke Taiki can only watch as the batter swings a baseball and flies past the railing before losing inertia and falling.
"Home run!!"
"Koma Otomakomai High School finally tied the score in the ninth game at the last moment——"
"Oh, Komaomachi, Tomaki!" After Tanaka knocked out a home run to tie the score, the audience, who was a supporter of Komakomai Koma, was both excited and happy: "The ninth inning was finally tied !! ”
……
"A hitter in front of the field!"
In the second half of the ninth inning, Tanaka Shodai, who equalized the score for Koma Otomaki and Komaki, was in better and better shape, and after knocking out Hiroshi Ota and Hiroshi Ota and Yagami Yagami Triple Strikeout, he let Taro Fukuda knock out the batter on base.
"The first bat, Fukuda-kun tenaciously went to base——!!"
"Next up is the second baton Tanaka-kun."
Yuki Tanaka stepped into the batting area after the announcer finished broadcasting, and after bowing his head to tidy up the ground, he raised his bat forward, clasped his hands and waited for the pitcher to deliver.
"Come on, come on and get a big one!"
"Principal Tian, another hit!!"
"You have to get to base!!"
In the rest area on the side of third base, Qingdao players are cheering for their teammates who are fighting on the field.
"Principal Tian, the two are out——!!"
"Let's solve them one by one!!"
The members of the Koma Otoma and Komakino Ball Club who came to support are all cheering for the aces on the field!
"Okay, the two are out!"
"Two out!!"
"We'll hold it!"
The attitude of the fielders is also very determined, and they must end this half set and let today's game go into extra time.
"Everyone is the same, you can't lose ......"
Facing the ready hitter, Tanaka will raise his left foot and step forward, swing his arm, and throw a baseball in the palm of his hand.
"However, our summer will not end like this-"
After a brief entanglement, Shodai Tanaka, who had struck the hitter three times, looked a little excited and turned to run away from the pitcher's mound.
"We're not going to stop there."
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
"Although Tanaka let one man go to base, he won the last number of outs and didn't let Seido High School score——!!"
"With the two sides evenly divided, the game went into extra time in the tenth inning."
……
"Good shot, batsman out!"
"The ace of Qingdao High School, Yagami Night, sent sixteen strikeouts today and threw eleven rounds!!"
……
"Ping!"
In the second half of the eleventh inning, after being forced into a desperate situation by the pitcher, Takikawa hit the middle and outer corners near the right angle of the knee, causing the baseball thrown by the pitcher to fly forward sharply.
"Smack!"
The baseball flying over the shortstop lands on the lawn in the center-left field, and then bounces diagonally to the right to buy time for the runner to get on base.
"Capable ......"
"On second base—"
Takikawa Chris Yu showed no intention of stopping after running through first base, turned to the right, and sprinted to second base.
"Takigawa, don't mess around......"
In the rest area on the side of the third base, the Qingdao players who were shouting loudly asked Takikawa not to mess around.
"It can be done at my pace!"
Chris ignored the shouts of his teammates and continued to run forward as the shortstop was about to receive a pass from the left fielder.
"Porphyry!"
Chris, who flew forward to base, touched the base bag on second base with his right hand, and shortstop Yuya Miki just caught a pass from left fielder Naoki Okayagawa.
"Safe base!"
Seeing this, the second base judge who was standing next to him raised his hands and instructed the striker to knock out second base and hit the base.
"Takigawa Chris Yu, a powerful second base hit!"
"With no one out, the runners of Qingdao High School have entered the scoring circle!!"
……
"Strikeouts ——!!"
"Tanaka's pitch was aggressive, and he quickly won two outs."
In the second half of the eleventh inning, after Chris knocked out a hit, the subsequent eight and nine bats were quickly solved by Tanaka Shodai, and the only good news was that he had advanced from second base to third base with Ota's short hit, and he was only one last step away from returning to base to score.
"In the second half of the eleventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, guerrilla, Fukuda-kun, back number 6."
After the announcer finished broadcasting, Taro Fukuda, a batter, came to the batting area with a bat and stood up.
"Principal Tian, the two are out!"
"Fukuda-see the fight!"
The spectators on the field were divided into two factions to cheer on the team they supported.
"The outfielders are very close...... "Chris, who was standing next to the third base bag and looking around, quickly realized the other man's intentions: "It looks like I'm definitely not going to be allowed to return to home plate." ”
"Finish him down and end this game." The catcher and Masayakawa glanced at the hitter who was ready in the batting area, stretched out his right hand, and signaled to the pitcher in front of him under him.
"Let him call, and he will ——!!" Yamaguchi, the second baseman standing between first and second base, shouted at the pitcher.
"Hold this ball!!" The guerrilla Yuya Miki opened his mouth to express his attitude.
"And one more out!!" The first and third basemen were also not far behind.
"Fukuda—"
"Senior Fukuda!"
"You've got it right!!"
The Qingdao runners who stayed in the rest area were cheering for Taro Fukuda.
"Ping!"
Inspired by his teammates, Taro Fukuda swung his bat at and hit an inside corner kick thrown by Nakatanaka and flew high to the left.
"Smack!"
The baseball flying above the third baseman was desperately chased by the third baseman Tadao Mitani and fell to the lawn of the left field, and then was reached out and picked up by the left fielder Naoki Okagawa.
"Bang!"
Chris stepped over home plate to score as the catcher and Kawa reached for a pass from the left fielder, giving him no chance to touch at all.
“safe.“
At the same time, the runner Taro Fukuda ran over the first base with a step, and the first base standing next to him saw the situation and raised his hands directly.
"Fukuda made it to first base!!"
"Third base runner Takikawa scores effectively!!"
"End of the Tournament ——!!"
With 50,000 spectators sighing and admiring at the same time, the 26-inning game was finally decided, and the Qingdao players ran out of the rest area, surrounded Chris who had returned to home plate, and cheered.
"On the first bat, Fukuda-kun hit a well-timed hit from the left field, which ended today's game."
"In this fierce battle, Qingdao colleges and universities finally won with a score of 5:4, stood out from more than 4,000 colleges and universities across the country, climbed to the top, and completed the national hegemony."
"Last year's king, the Koma Otoma Komaki High School, which intends to achieve three consecutive hegemony, stopped here."
The commentator used an impassioned voice to bring the curtain down on today's game.
"Takigawa! That's great! ”
"Well done!!"
The Qingdao runners huddled together and raised their right hands to the "1" in celebration.
"First! We are number one! ”
"Awesome, we won!!"
"Koshien wins! Wow oh oh!! ”。
"National hegemony! Hahaha!! ”
The crowd was also bustling with the Seido support group and supporters, and everyone was celebrating Seido's victory.
