In the West Tokyo Competition, the quarterfinals, Seidou High School is playing against Yakushi High School.
In the first inning of the match, Seidou High School had an unparalleled lead.
8:0!
Those eight points were like eight daggers, stabbed fiercely at Yakushi High School.
"Didn't you just want to enjoy baseball, that's how you enjoy it?"
Todoroki Raizou looked at his students with a disappointed look: "I'm still waiting for you to take me to Koshien. If it is like this, wouldn't there be no hope at all?"
The players of Yakushi all had their heads down and couldn't look at him.
They never imagined that the game would become like this.
'So embarrassing!'
Moreover, the strength of the opponent is so strong that they have never imagined it.
After two Outs, Seidou's lineup practically Exploded! with terrifying attack power.
"What should I say, well, like I told you all before the game. Next, hit them hard, swing the bat with all of your strength, and get the score back. Did you hear that?"
Todoroki Raizou said with a smile.
"Yes!"
The players of Yakushi High School looked like soldiers going into the battlefield.
On the other side, Everyone at Seidou High School had a magical feeling.
We Won!
Ever since Sawamura joined Seidou, Seidou's players have always had a peculiar feeling that as long as the score is ahead, they will not lose.
The current score is more than a lead, it is eight points, a full eight points!
This quarterfinal is likely to end early in five innings.
Not one or two of them, they all feel amazing.
Is it too easy?
The other side is Yakushi who defeated Sankou High School.
And Seidou so easily took the victory, won't it be very good?
Coach Kataoka had an uncontrollable smile on his lips. He was extremely satisfied with the performance of his students.
"Don't be careless, the next inning is the most important. Don't miss any opportunity to expand the score."
"Yes!"
The players were very excited.
"At the beginning of this inning, Sawamura will switch to left field, and Kawakami will play the remaining two innings for you. Tanpa will start preparing from the next inning. If there is no accident, I will arrange for you to play in the fourth inning."
"Yes!"
Sawamura, Kawakami, and Tanpa agreed in unison.
The difference in the score is a full eight points. Considering that the semi-finals and the finals are consecutive battles, it is ideal to replace Sawamura at a time like this.
Moreover, as long as Sawamura doesn't come off the field, once the situation is not good, he can also return to the pitching mound and be responsible for finishing…
Originally, Kataoka also thought that Yakushi High School would be a powerful enemy, but he really didn't expect the opponent to be defeated in one inning. Moreover, even in such a dismal situation, Yakushi did not put the Ace Sanada on the field.
This means that the number of innings that Sanada can throw in this game is very limited.
Before Sanada came on the field, Seidou scored in the Kid Mode.
It's so easy to get points now!
8 points lead now, a few more points…
It is best to end the game early.
Thinking of it this way, it seemed that there was no need to leave Sawamura on the mound.
Kataoka's decision was reasonable, and no one objected to it.
However, no one could have imagined that this reasonable decision would almost Doom Seidou High School.
Of course, right now, no one knew this.
In the first half of the second inning, Seidou High School changed pitchers, Kawakami got on the pitcher mound, Sawamura returned to left field, and Sakai was already crying in the toilet.
Yakushi High School attacked.
Sawamura went to the outfield and made a substitution on the mound.
This scene not only did not make Yakushi High School players feel happy but only aroused their aggressiveness.
'They are bullying us!'
'Do you really think anyone can push us around?'
After the fourth batter of Yakushi entered the strike zone, he immediately showed astonishing fierceness.
He swings very aggressively.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki had a smile on his face.
For him, it is not a bad thing for his opponent to swing the bat actively.
'Don't be afraid, Nori. Just trust your pitching.'
'I know!'
Kawakami finally got his turn to play, and of course, he wasn't timid.
Not to mention that Yakushi has been beaten to bulbs, even if Yakushi is in good condition, Kawakami is not afraid of them.
After all, Sawamura has already solved the top three Batters that are really threatening.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
Using his sharper-than-usual today breaking ball as a weapon, Kawakami directly struck Out Yakushi's fourth batter.
"Nice Pitching, Kawakami!"
"Nori, you are doing great!!!"
"Let's go on like this."
Seidou's players, cheering for Kawakami like crazy.
In Yakushi's rest area, Todoroki Raizou was still able to keep his composure, and he looked at Kawakami on the pitcher's mound.
"This pitcher is very suitable for dealing with our lineup."
For those who actively swing the bat, Kawakami, who can control the ball and pitch to the corners, and have several kinds of breaking balls, is very useful against such a threat.
Sanada behind him nodded.
"Coach, if the score increases again…"
He still did not want to stay on the bench when the situation was progressing like this.
"I know what you think, but if you start playing now, you can only make our situation look a little better, and the rest is meaningless. If we want to defeat Seidou, we still need a chance. Let's wait for the upper line to rotate back and deal with this pitcher. This pitcher may be hard for the other players but for Mishima and the others, hehe~"
Todoroki Raizou didn't finish his words, but his meaning was obvious.
"Although I thought we would lose points at the beginning, I really didn't expect to lose so many points."
'Gotta think of something else!'
Todoroki Raizou secretly calculated.
On the field, Kawakami threw a ball that was hit by the batter Watanabe. And got on base
"Good job, Watanabe!"
In the catcher's position, Miyuki nodded incredulously, thinking about the opponent's swing just now.
'One was resolved, and the second batter came on the field to swing actively, still extremely determined. There is no hesitation in the eyes!'
'This team's lineup is really terrifying. Even if it's not even the three first-year ones, the others' batters are not to be underestimated.'
Thinking about it, Miyuki turned to look at the rest area of Yakushi High School.
Todoroki Raizou still so carefree, slumped on the resting chair.
'On the surface, he looks like a fool, but it's actually a very smart one, this Coach!'
The defense is stable even in the face of a strong attack, and the attack is also direct and unwavering!
To be able to cultivate such a team, Todoroki Raizou doesn't seem to be an unknown person.
Although someone hit the base.
Nevertheless, Miyuki still cooperated with Kawakami and held the inning very smoothly.
Ping!
"OUT!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
The sixth hit the infield rebound and was directly blocked Out.
Kawakami struck Out the seventh batter with a beautiful sinker.
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
Without much effort, Seidou held the inning.
In the second half of the second inning, Seidou High School attacked.
The offense begins with the Yuuki Tetsuya the fourth batter!
