On the side of the court, the director of the Tokai team held a towel tightly in his hand and looked at Sakazaki whom he sent on the field with concern.

This game, somehow, suddenly lost control. Although the Donghai team is still leading by seven points, this lead has now become a huge pressure. Perhaps it is out of a kind of protection for one's favorite players,

As the team's supervisor, he replaced himself

The promising second-year main pitcher Noguchi sent in the third-year pitcher Sakazaki as a substitute pitcher. Although this is a bit cruel, if Noguchi loses his confidence as a pitcher because of this game, the impact on Tokai Ohsuge will be great.

It’s not just this year’s Koshien.

"Whoa!"

The moment Sakazaki took action, Ono also started to take action. This time, he did not choose to touch, but planned to hit the flying wild ball head-on.

"Crack!"

The catcher caught the ball.

"Ah! Sakazaki just made a bad pitch, but he lured his opponent Ono into the batter's box! So this ball is considered a strike! Let's see if Sakazaki can block Chiyoda's attack!"

"Player Sakazaki, he strikes again...look at this time..."

"Bang!"

With the sound of a metal collision, the four Chiyoda players on the field began to accelerate. The ball was hit far into the unmanned area of ​​the outfield. The Tokai team's outfielders desperately chased the ball, but still couldn't catch it.

Received before landing.

"safe!"

"An easy slide, Arata Furuta ran to home plate! Ah, the Tokai team's outfielder started to return the ball!"

"safe!"

"safe!"

Two more Chiyoda players scored, and Ono, who just hit the long hit, is now running to third base.

"safe!"

"Home base, Donghai team's home base is in danger!"

"safe!"

Just as the Tokai team's ball was passed from second base to home plate, Ono slid the base and successfully touched the base bag! Now, four runs were obtained!

"Four points. Chiyoda's players just scored four points in one go. Now the gap between the two teams has been narrowed to three points, and Chiyoda still has six outs!"

…

"Yoshida, Nakamura, Kamiya! You guys go up next! Try to use your strikes to get on base, it doesn't matter even if you are out!"

Director Ushijima saw that his tactics were effective, and the score difference was suddenly reduced to only three points, so he quickly arranged for the following batters to appear. Yoshida, Nakamura, and Kamiya rarely have the opportunity to play, but they did not expect this time.

The three of them couldn't help but be very excited to challenge an opponent like Tokai Ohsugou.

However, although the Donghai team had lost all confidence at this time, its strength could not be underestimated. Without the restraint of their teammates, the three players quickly lost the number of eliminations, and the game finally came to the ninth inning.

"Arata Furuta once again stood on the pitcher's mound, and the first one to appear was Tokai's Otama! Let's see if Arata can once again exert the power of the floater with this ball."

"Whoa!"

"Crack!"

"nice shot!"

"Still didn't hit it. Tokai team's otaku player just missed it! But how can we catch such a floating ball that goes against common sense? Supervisor Miyazawa?"

"This... I actually don't know. I just remember that when I was a player, there was a senior Fujisawa who was very good at this kind of ball. However, as he got older, the speed of the ball dropped, and this skill became ineffective.

However, this is how wild ball technology continues to develop. As more excellent pitchers emerge, there will always be more hitters who can restrain pitchers. This is the development law of modern commercial games!"

"out!"

"Okay, we see that the player Zakuma was struck out again! Next is the player at the time!"

…

In the studio, the host and guests were constantly analyzing Arata's floater, but on the field, after half a round of adjustments, the Tokai team still couldn't find a way to break Furuta Arata.

"Zama-kun!"

"Supervisor, I...I am so ashamed!"

"Hey, this is not your responsibility! Zhai Ma?"

"Supervision..."

"Tell me, what happened when you saw the ball?"

"Supervisor, it's strange to say that I have clearly seen the path of that guy's ball, but when I swing the bat, it always ends up empty. I... I really don't know what happened?"

"Look at this!"

As the supervisor of the Donghai team said, he handed a tablet computer to Zaima's hand. Then he pointed at the analysis results on the screen and said:

"According to software analysis, the difference between the height of the shot of that guy named Arata and the height of the ball being caught is only five centimeters. Do you know what the drop of the ball most pitchers throw is?"

"this……"

"It's more than ten centimeters!"

"But supervisor, I clearly saw the ball falling!"

"Yeah, that's the problem. The flight trajectory of the ball thrown by that guy is upward. Someone just saw this on a TV show. I didn't believe it at first. However, this auxiliary training system is

I won’t lie…”

"Supervisor, you must have a solution, right?"

"There is no other way. The only thing I hope now is that you can hold on to this three-point advantage!"

Just as the two were talking, the referee's voice suddenly came from the court again.

"out!"

…

"Strikeout! Another strikeout! Can the Tokai team no longer be able to hit Arata's ball? Now Tokai's only player on the line is left to hit hard..."

"Whoa!"

"nice shot!"

"Whoa!"

"nice shot!"

"Whoa!"

"nice shot!"

"out!"

Facing the last counterattack of the Tokai team, Arata easily struck out his opponent and consumed the last out number of the Tokai team.

…

"Ah! Try your best to defend! When we encounter such a monster, we have nothing to say! Everyone, we must defend the last three points!"

"Hey!"

"Keep the three points and break into Koshien!"

…

Hearing a commotion from the opponent's bullpen, Chiyoda, who had won the last defensive game without any bloodshed, was in high spirits and was waiting for the final victory.

"Beat Donghai! Win the game!"

"Half a year!"

I saw nine people standing in a row, holding hands and shoulders, waiting for the final battle. When the opponent Tokai team took a position on the court, Noguchi, who was assigned to the outfield, suddenly came to the sidelines and took the initiative to request to the supervisor:

"Supervisor, please leave this scene to me!"

"Noguchi? You still have a long way to go..."

"Supervisor, if we lose, we won't have the next game. I want to fight for my destiny myself. Whether I lose or win, I want to decide it as a pitcher!"

"Okay! Kantian-kun, I'm so sorry! Leave this to Noguchi!"
Chapter completed!
