Ace of Diamond: Return of the Pitcher

Chapter 50: Ace’s Fighting Spirit!



Chapter 50: Ace’s Fighting Spirit!

Two Outs, runner at first and third base!

This situation is a huge challenge for both the offensive and defensive sides. 

In the dugout of Seidou.

Furuya frowned, watching his seniors attack.

“How do you feel?”

Everyone else was stressed, but the guy was confused. This made Sawamura curious and couldn’t help but ask him.

“As a pitcher, it’s really tricky to pitch in such a situation,” Furuya said.

Sawamura was slightly surprised. To be honest, he really didn’t expect Furuya to watch the game so seriously. Although he is only looking at it from the standpoint of a pitcher, he is inevitably a bit biased. But you have to say that as a freshman in the first year, it is already very good to have such insight.

Kataoka also heard the answer of Furuya.

He glanced at Furuya Satoru slightly, and then put his eyes on the field again.

“The third batter, center, Isashiki Jun.”

At this time, it was Isashiki’s turn to swing his bat.

“Fight as much as you like, Jun-san!”

“It’s time to show your will to fight.”

“Roar, Spitz!”

In the audience, cheers for Isashiki Jun could be heard from time to time.

“Who is the Spitz?”

For this nickname, Isashiki has a deep resentment.

However, Ryosuke and Kuramochi were already on base, and he couldn’t back down at this time.

And the next is Tetsuya!

If he’s out now, this will be a big loss. And the game is still long!

“In this way, I can’t back down. Come on, brat!!!”

Now he has made up his mind, Isashiki looked at Ino on the pitcher's mound as if he was his sworn enemy.

He already has the determination to hit the ball no matter what.

The Catcher, Haku, was not in a hurry because of the tense situation. His performance is very calm, calmly commanding the team’s defense. Isashiki did not relax his observation.

In the current situation, if you want to win against your opponent, you need to look at the situation carefully.

Haku calmly gave Ino a sign!

At the moment of seeing the sign, Ino was even slightly stunned. He quickly calmed down and trusted his partner, then calmly pitched.

Sawamura turned his head glanced at Miyuki, and asked, “If you are the catcher, how would you do it?”

“Straight Fastball! Ball to the inner corner! The last ball is the decisive Cutter ball. If the partner is you, I will match it. If my partner is Ino, then I will ask for a low Straight ball!”

A low Straight ball is not a very tricky course!

Sawamura gave Miyuki a surprised look.

Ping!

The small white ball was hit by Isashiki Jun and flew far away to the outfield.

“Good Swing!”

“Run!”

Isashiki ran to first base, groaning coldly in his heart, he was hoping for a fielding error for a straight ball at the critical moment.

The baseball kept flying, it kept flying, and it fell about ten meters before the boundary.

Below, there is already a figure, waiting for it.

It’s the right fielder Ginjo!

SNAP!

Outfield Save!

Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.

This scene made the audience at the scene a little dumbfounded.

“Damn, why does the outfielder back off so much?”

“If the outfielder stops in the original position to defend, the ball will definitely land.”

“Really, bad luck!”

In the position of the Catcher, Haku sneered.

Bad luck! You really don’t know anything.

In the dugout of Seidou.

Sawamura, Miyuki, and Chris’ faces sank.

Seidou was studied too thoroughly by the other party. Yokohama’s fielders knew Isashiki's batting habits.

“This game is not very easy to play.”

In the first half of the fourth inning, Yokohama’s line-up started from the second batter.

With the cooperation of Miyuki and Tanpa, Yokohama’s second batter was quickly resolved.

Then it was Yokohama’s third batter turn.

Ping!

The third batter, Oyama made a hit.

This hit is so unexpected!

The catcher, Miyuki’s face was a little heavy.

Tanpa’s ball just now is so sweet!

In high school baseball, there is a saying that “one Pitch” determines the outcome.

No matter how good the pitcher’s performance was, as long as one pitch is missed, the consequences can be very serious! As small as a single hit and score, as big as the outcome of a game.

These may all be decided by ‘one ball’.

The continuous offensive just now, without scoring, may have affected Tanpa.

Miyuki gave Tanpa a signal.

On the mound, Tanpa nodded.

He was also annoyed.

However, the game has come to the present, and he can’t back down.

Especially the opponent is Yokohama’s fourth, the national-level strong Batter, Furano.

Shutting out Furano here can turn the situation around in one go.

Miyuki actually had a headache after seeing Furano. Tanpa’s performance just now was not very good. Under such circumstances, it is not a good time to face Furano.

But no way, the reality is so cruel.

Faced with this situation, Miyuki didn’t flinch and gave Tanpa the sign for a high drop curve!

Use Tanpa’s best Pitch to help Tanpa stabilize.

On the mound, after Tanpa nodded, he pitched the ball.

Ping!

After being hit, the small white ball broke through the wind barrier outside the field and disappeared without a trace.

A two-run home run!

Furano turned the game around with one swing, and the score became 2:1, with Seidou falling behind.

Tanpa’s most confident ball was hit a home run.

Miyuki’s brows were furrowed. Although Tanpa’s Pitch was a little sweet, it was generally acceptable.

A ball like this can hit a home run.

Furano, what kind of monster is that?

But that’s how the Powerhouses are, and the fourth Batter of a famous school is not given for nothing. Just like this ball, you can only praise the opponent’s batter for being strong.

The key is after being hit a home run!

Miyuki called a timeout and stepped onto the mound, fearing that Tanpa would collapse.

“Do not worry about me!”

Tanpa’s will is very firm.

Even if he was hit with a home run, Tanpa’s fighting spirit did not diminish.

This made Miyuki very surprised.

on the bench.

Chris and Kataoka looked at each other and nodded.

Because of Sawamura’s strong participation, it seems that Tanpa has also grown. When people have no way out, they often show extraordinary fighting spirit. This is the case with Tanpa, under the pressure of Sawamura, he completed an extraordinary evolution.

This is of course a good thing for Seidou.

But for Sawamura, not necessarily!

Tanpa himself has the advantage of the third grade, if his performance can be maintained like this, it may be difficult for Sawamura to grab the Ace number from him.

On the outfield.

Sawamura’s eyes also radiated light.

He also felt the kind of threat from Tanpa that had already threatened him.

The battle for the Ace number, which was originally clear, has become blurred again.

“Tanpa-senpai!”

To be honest, Sawamura has never seen Tanpa with such a strong will as the Ace in his previous life.

He is happy for Kataoka, and as a pitcher, Sawamura will never back down.

As a pitcher, pitcher mound, Sawamura will not give it to anyone!
