Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher

Chapter 81: Plans Gone Wrong!

The runner on the base is Kuramochi, and the batter on the strike zone is Kominato Ryosuke who was judged to be the most difficult Batter by Sanjo.

This situation is irritating for Narita Industrial.

It was already 7-0 behind, and the pitcher showed a desperate pitching. Now, it was difficult for Narita to continue the game with Seidou. As a team, they reached the second round of the Kanto Tournament and one of the top eight.

They always have to show their fighting spirit and strength!

You must know that this kind of competition in the Kanto Tournament is not the same as the internal competition in a region. In the internal competition of a region, no matter how embarrassed you lose, you will not face the pressure of the entire region.

Most of them just marvel at the strength of the winner!

But at the Kanto Tournament, you are not only representing yourself, you are also representing your region. When people say their names, they are all Chiba Prefecture Narita Industrial High School.

At this time, the competition is not just about the school and the players.

Just like their current match against Seidou, Seidou showed unimaginable strength. In the face of such an opponent, it is inevitable for the Narita to lose to the opponent because of its poor strength.

You can lose only after fighting hard. But losing is different from being butchered by the opponent.

Now Narita doesn't dare to say that they can win Seidou. But at least they want to show their fighting spirit, it’s better to get a point, and not lose too ugly.

After all, they represent not only Narita but also the Chiba Region teams.

'At least survive this inning!'

In the next inning, the fifth inning, as long as Seidou scored more than ten points, the game was over. The mercy rule for ending a game early is five innings with a lead of more than five points, and seven innings with a lead of more than seven points.

That is to say, by the fifth inning, they will at most lose a score of 10:0.

Although this is also disgraceful, it won’t be too ugly. On the field of Koshien, the score of 10:0 has appeared in the quarterfinals and even the Semifinals.

But if they can’t suppress Seidou’s batters this inning and let Seidou’s lineup Explode again, it’s hard to say how many points it will be.

And, the first half of the fifth inning will likely be playable, and Seidou simply does not need to attack in the second half of the fifth inning.

If it really evolves into this situation, it will be even more embarrassing.

'The most important thing is the number of Outs. Even if you lose points, you must end the inning as soon as possible.'

Sanjo made a very cowardly decision.

But there is no way, until now, all the energy of the Narita players has long been dissipated by Seidou’s players. They have completely lost hope of this game, looking forward to the end of the game as soon as possible, so as not to continue to stay on the field shamefully.

Sanjo may look cowardly, but he wants to end the game as soon as possible to avoid causing too much trauma to his friends.

In less than two months, the summer competition that will start is the top priority of all teams. In order not to cause the Players to suffer more psychological trauma before that, Sanjo can only choose to stop the bleeding of points.

'What could possibly go any more wrong?'

When Sanjo decided to use points in exchange for the number of Outs, he put himself and Narita Industrial High School on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

If the initiative is handed over to Seidou, then it is not up to him to have the final say.

Kuramochi steals base to second base!

Sanjo and Ito ignored it, they wanted Seidou to do so.

In this way, after Kuramochi reaches second base, he walks to third base and walks to home plate.

They can easily take two outs and trade one point for two outs, which seems like a bargain for Sanjo. Moreover, Seidou did this before, that is, when there is a chance to score points steadily, they will definitely not be greedy.

“If it is like this, then thank you very much!”

Seeing that Sanjo and Narita Industries were obviously in such a state, Kataoka immediately changed his face.

How easy is it to get out?

He immediately gave Kominato Ryosuke a sign and ordered Ryosuke to beat them savagely.

'Alright, let's do it!'

Who is Kominato Ryosuke? Even a human trafficker would probably be able to sell people to such a ruthless person.

Seeing Narita like this, he naturally didn’t mind beating up the sick Dog.

Ping!

Seizing the opportunity, he gets a hit, Ryosuke hits the first base, and Kuramochi advances to third base.

No one out, runner on first and third base.

At this time, Sanjo felt like crying!

'How could Seidou be so cruel? Isn’t this an obvious bullying?'

'We have made concessions, which is equivalent to admitting defeat. Why are you guys still not forgiving?'

At this time, Sanjo realized that there was no use in retreating.

The more they retreated, the more Seidou advanced.

'If so, then fight!'

But can they still fight?

Seidou’s attacks have already been linked together. If you fight recklessly at this time, it will be no different from hanging yourself.

After that, Isashiki got a hit and Kuramochi returned to home plate to help Seidou score the eighth run.

At the same time, Ryosuke was on second base, and Isashiki was on first base.

No one out, runner at first and second base!

“Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun.”

Seeing Tetsu, Sanjo really wanted to let him Walk, he really didn’t have the confidence to face Yuuki Tetsuya.

'But no!'

After he made the walk, the situation will become no one was out and the base was full.

Ordinarily, when the bases are full, it’s easier to get outs because you don’t need to think about the runners, just focus on the batters.

But the problem is that Seidou’s next best Batter is Sawamura!

In the previous game against Yokohama-North, Sawamura had three hits in four at bat, including a home run. Sawamura had two at bat before today, with one walk and one hit, all scoring.

In terms of performance alone, Sawamura’s two games are not worse than Yuuki

Go head-to-head with such a batter on full bases!

How about a duel with Yuuki?

Anyway, the situation is already bad, at most they would give Seidou a hit.

With a determined heart, Sanjo and Ito chose to fight recklessly.

“BALL!”

“BALL!”

After two Balls in a row, Tetsuya didn’t swing the bat, and he didn’t even lift his eyelids.

Sanjo frowned secretly.

Steadily waiting for the ball, as sharp as a hawk.

Yuuki Tetsuya standing on the strike zone is so annoying!

‘But no matter how annoying it is, you have to pitch a Strike, otherwise, it would be meaningless to just give Yuuki a Walk, and then deal with a full base, it would be the same as the previous Walk plan.’

'Come on, a low sliders!'

Another Winning Shot.

Ping!

This Winning Shot was What Yuuki Tetsuya aiming for.

The ball, which Sanjo and Ito had high hopes for, became a living target and was frequently hit.

SNAP!

The baseball lands behind the outfielder and hits the protective wall.

By the time the outfielder returned, Ryosuke had passed third base and returned to home plate.

At the same time, Isashiki went to third base, and Tetsu to first base.

Again, no Out, runner at first and third base!
