Chapter 428: October (Saturday)

In the first half of the sixth game, the Qingdao line ushered in an outbreak, defeating the Didong ace Datian Adouli in one fell swoop, and overtook the score to 3:2.

It's a pity that in the second half of the sixth game, Qingdao ace Tanba Koichiro lost points when he only got one out, allowing Didong to easily equalize the score, but fortunately, there were no accidents in the follow-up, and the reinvigorated Tanba Koichiro and his teammates won three outs in the game and ended the game.

"This game is critical."

"Oh!"

"Let's solve them one by one."

"Go!"

In the second half of the seventh inning, Aodo changed the pitcher, and the one-year Takuya Kimura replaced Tanba to pitch.

"Go for it!"

"Cast your own style, Kimura." Chris sat on the bench in the rest area, looking at Takuya Kimura, who was gradually moving away with everyone, and thought to himself.

"Let Kimura vote?" Ota and Akiko asked their colleagues next to them.

"If you want to hold on to the initiative after the equaliser, it is important to defend this game."

"If there is any instability...", Minefushi gave his opinion.

"It's up to him to adapt quickly to this tense scene, right?"

"The worst thing is that the first hitter is guaranteed by the four bad balls..."Minister Ota was in a hurry because of the situation on the field.

"Sure enough, this kind of field is too heavy a burden for a year-old..."

"All in all, calm down first." Takuya Kimura stomped on the ground in front of the pitcher board while calming himself down and not losing points.

It's a pity that the crisis caused by four bad balls caused him to lose a point, and at the same time, there were people on first and second base, and no one was out.

"Anyway, since the overseer doesn't have any instructions for you."

"It means that the situation in front of us is not a crisis at all."

This is the consolation of the pair of pitchers of the shortstop Kuramochi Yoshi.

"Huh?"

"Anyway, the game only went to the bottom half of the seventh inning."

"If you lose a point, you will get it back."

This is the comfort of first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki and second baseman Ryosuke Kominato to the pitcher.

"It's a little bit of a breakdown, and being substituted... Or rely on perseverance to tide over the difficulties and continue to board the next game. ”

Catcher Miyukiichi also had a serious expression, looked at the pitcher in front of him, and said in a different tone than before.

"Now is the time to test your qualities as a pitcher!"

"Huh!?" When Miyuki said this, Takuya Kimura remembered his situation in the team, he couldn't compete with Tanba seniors, and he couldn't compete with Nangumo Shiichi in the same grade! Once the overseer's impression of him deteriorates, he goes from pitching at No. 2 on the team to pitching No. 3.

"You...... We managed to get him to relax a little! Kuramochi Yokazu walked up to Miyuki's side and whispered to him.

"I won't..."

"I'm not going to leave the pitcher's mound that way!" Takuya Kimura looked up at the catcher in front of him and said to him in a firm tone.

"Huh!" Hearing the pitcher's words, as a catcher, Yukiichi also raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

"These two people..."Yoichi Kuramochi looked at Kimura, whose morale was getting higher and higher, and suddenly felt that their previous comfort seemed to be useless.

After the timeout, the catchers and infielders left the pitcher's mound one after another, leaving only Takuya Kimura, who was alone on the pitcher's mound to sort out his emotions.

"Even if you have a clear mind, it's really hard to relax in this situation." Chris is clear about Takuya Kimura's state of mind at this time.

……

"Senior Ya, Di Dong only got one point." A native of Inagi Kotsu, who was watching the game from the stands, ran out of the court after the second half of the seventh inning and informed Masakomi Harada of the situation of the Seido and Teto matches.

"Really?" Masako Harada's tone was very flat.

"Huh... Did that Kimura guy get through the storm with only one point? Narumiya, who was doing stretching exercises, was a little surprised that Takuya Kimura could perform like this.

"In that situation, it's not surprising that even the psychological defenses collapsed."

"He's not bad." Narumiya Narumiya affirmed Takuya Kimura's performance.

"When I met him before, no matter how I looked at it, I thought he was just a substitute!"

"Because he's the No. 2 pitcher, he's been on the board for five games in a row at the Fall Conference." Faced with Narumiya's doubts, Masako Harada gave his own reasons.

"Naru..."

"Huh?"

"Didn't you do that before? For a year-old, pitching on the field is the most valuable experience. ”

"Yagami's departure from the team due to injury has made great strides for Tamba and Kimura."

"I'm kind of looking forward to it." was said by Senior Yagong, Cheng Gongming was really looking forward to the showdown with the other party.

"Huh?"

"I really want to fight them as soon as possible, after all, I've only wanted to get revenge for Summer's defeat!!"

……

After losing another point in the first half of the ninth inning, the second half of the game ushered in an explosion, scoring two points in a row to equalize the score and let the game enter the play-off.

In the first half of the tenth inning, Nan Yunshi, who replaced Takuya Kimura on the court, used a straight ball and a speed ball to make Didong's line three up and three down, and easily ended the first half of the game.

In the bottom half of the 10th inning, Tetsuya Yuuki knocked out a well-timed hit on second base, allowing runner Ryosuke Kominato on second base to run back to home plate to score.

"It's over!"

"From the two-year-old Tanba to the one-year-old Kimura, and finally the one-year-old Nagumo came on the field, and the excellent pitcher relayed."

"Qingdao High School, 2 consecutive years of decisive entry and exit!"

"It's in the finals..."

"Hmm!"

Managers cheering on the players in the stands hugged each other and celebrated the team's reach for the final.

"Cast beautifully, Nagumo!" Jun Izaki's loud voice makes his voice heard from afar.

"Ahh Well voted! Nagumo. This is a very magical laugh from Yoichi Kuramochi.

"Nagumo!" Ichiro Sakai called Nagumo's name as he ran over from the left field.

"Uhhhhhh

In stark contrast to the Qingdao players are the Tedong players, each of whom is silently crying over the loss of this match.

"This year, we still haven't been able to cross the wall and win the autumn conference."

Governor Okamoto is not satisfied with the representation of the East Tokyo area, and he also wants the Tokyo region to be represented in the second year of the Spring Armor, but their team has not won the autumn tournament for nine years (including this year).

Sometimes they make it to the finals, but in the next year's spring league, there is only one representative in the Tokyo metropolitan area; When they didn't make it to the finals, there were two representative spots in the Tokyo metropolitan area.

"It looks like it's time for the team to be reformed."

……

"Ceremony!"

On both sides of the home plate, the Qingdao and Tedong players, who were lined up on both sides of the home plate, took off their hats and saluted each other at the signal of the base judges.

"Thank you for the advice!"

Ten rounds of fierce battles, with a slight advantage of 6:5 thrilling defeat of Didong's Qingdao, will be tomorrow at 12 o'clock with the first to advance to the Daocheng industry to start a decisive battle.

"The game was exciting!"

"Superintendent Kataoka..."

"You are the strongest!"

"Tetsuya!"

"Masuko!".

"Izzoshiki!"

As the players left home plate and returned to the lounge area, the Seido support group and supporters cheered on their performance.
