"There is no way to change the results in front of you, what happened has happened. As long as you are still on the field there is still a chance, let's cooperate and give full display to your strength."
Miyuki also knew that not anything could be said to anyone. If it was Sawamura or Furuya Satoru who was in this predicament, he would definitely not be so nice with his words.
Saying harsh words to Kawakami right now may backfire.
But this didn't change the result of the game at all. If the three points were lost, it was lost.
Fortunately, Miyuki helped in time and saved the situation from deteriorating, and finally got three Outs with a double play. Making Hirotaka's continuous attack stop at the sixth batter.
At 8:3, the game ushered in the second half of the seventh inning.
What broke Out in this game was the combination of Ryosuke, Isashiki, and the Captain.
Seidou High School recovered two points.
The score became 10:3.
Because of the excellent performance of the lineup, Coach Kataoka temporarily stopped thinking about replacing Kawakami.
Tanpa is about to graduate soon, and he still hopes that Kawakami and Furuya will grow up as soon as possible.
In the first half of the eighth inning, Hirotaka High School attacked.
Seidou High School began to replace people, Kadota-senpai replaced Shiratsu, and Miyauchi replaced Miyuki.
With a firm victory at hand, Coach Kataoka finally started the second round of substitution of players since Koshien.
Tomorrow is the final, and it must be the main force to fight to the end. After that, there will be no chance for these substitute players to feel the atmosphere of Koshien.
Of course, even the rotating players have spares for the just-in-case scenarios.
Although the catcher has been replaced, there is still Chris who is ready at any time. The other outfield isn't a particularly big deal.
This allows for easy replacement.
"This is bullying!"
The chubby middle-aged superintendent of Hirotaka High School was aggrieved.
Even if the gap in strength is relatively large, Seidou High School can't bully people like this. In the semi-finals of Koshien, they are letting the substitutes play and feel the atmosphere of Koshien.
"This is so outrageous!!"
'Even if I die, I will take a piece of Seidou High School with me.'
After receiving the Coach's order, the Hirotaka High School players started to attack like outraged baboons.
However, their bottom lineup had limited impact on the defense of Seidou High School.
After a while, Miyauchi and Kawakami cooperated and scored three Outs.
Changing the catcher is like changing the command of the defense. The players from Hirotaka High School are really unfamiliar with the game calling of Miyauchi!
Another three up and three down.
At this point, Kawakami's data is throwing four innings and losing three points.
Compared with the previous Sawamura, of course, it is much worse. But generally speaking, while taking everything into account, it is not particularly bad.
The game continues.
In the second half of the eighth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
In the previous attack, Seidou High School scored two points.
It was the turn of the bench catcher Miyauchi to hit the line.
"Humph!"
He snorted forcefully, and a cloud of white gas was sprayed out from the nose like a raging bison.
He was giving the impression of a Minotaur with a big club.
His bat/club was hoisted high, his gaze fixed menacingly on Kosuke at the pitcher's mound. It seemed as though he intended not merely to smash Kosuke's pitching, but to smash Kosuke himself into pieces.
On the pitching mound, Kosuke felt as if he had been run over by a car.
The bones of the whole body are falling apart.
He was tired, too tired.
I really want to lie down like this and never stand up again…
In the rest area of Seidou High School, Kataoka asked the recorder softly, "How many pitches have Hirotaka High School's pitchers pitched so far?"
"135 balls!"
"That's almost there."
Coach Ochiai squeezed the goatee on his chin and smiled.
Kataoka on the side also nodded.
'Yeah, almost there.'
The heavy game pressure, coupled with this clearly exceeded the count. Even if the opponent is a Moving ball pitcher with a good rhythm, this should be the limit.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it fell directly into the guard's gap.
Miyauchi, who came off the bench, scored a hit and rushed to second base.
No Out, runner at second base.
"Seventh Batter, outfielder, Sawamura-kun."
Now it was Sawamura's turn to attack.
The Coach of Hirotaka High School still does not intend to change his Ace.
Even their current Ace pitcher is exhausted and could fall at any moment.
Sawamura Eijun understood the intentions of that chubby superintendent very well.
He probably wanted to use the loss of this game to thoroughly train Hirotaka's Ace, Kosuke Ishizue.
There is no way for an Ace to grow without really experiencing hardships. It is with the refinement of the failure that Ace can grow stronger and be reborn.
"Then I have no reason to hold back!"
The bat in his hand was at the longest grip, and Sawamura's eyes stared seriously at Kosuke on the pitcher's mound.
Whoosh!
The white ball was thrown out, weak and slow.
Faced with such a ball, Sawamura Eijun would naturally not be a polite child.
In that instant, he concentrated all his strength on his swinging hands.
When swinging the bat, his arm is like a whip.
Buzz!!
The huge swinging sound rang on the strike zone slightly.
PING!
After the small white ball was hit, like a small beast that was hit, it let out a miserable howl and soared out of the field.
PAK!
The ball ended up in the corridor in the middle of the stands!
"IT IS HERE!!!"
"THE FIFTH HOME RUN!!!!!"
Home run, another home run.
The score is 12:3!
It was the fifth home run of the game.
It was also Sawamura's second home run.
Before, Sawamura Eijun himself played one.
Masuko hit a three-run homer after Isashiki hit the base.
Miyuki took one after Masuko went to the base.
The opponent Hirotaka's Kuromaru Asahi also won one.
There are four in total, and Sawamura won the fifth.
Five home runs!
At the same time, this is also the fifth home run that Sawamura Eijun hit after participating in Koshien.
In the stands, The expressions on the faces of several scouts from the professional draft have been completely numb.
"The fifth one!"
"How many was the previous record?"
"Two!"
Two!
After Sawamura Eijun participated in Koshien, he kept refreshing records.
It's the home run record of a first-year freshman participating in Koshien.
The original record was two.
As soon as the Maou appeared, this record was quickly tied.
Then it was continuously broken through and surpassed.
The one who tied this record was Sawamura Eijun, who was known as the Maou, and then broke through to overtake it.
With this, he carved his name in the field of Koshien for many generations to come.
The Demon King, Sawamura Eijun!
