Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

A baseball game lasts two or three hours. Defense takes up half the time. After such a long time, I wonder how many balls I can catch?

There was doubt in his heart, but Kurosawa didn't show it. In the first half of the third game, Qingdao High School attacked.

"boom!"

After practicing this period of time, Sawamura's hitting method has achieved very good results. This ball was also well hit, and the baseball flew to the first base outfield sideline.

"Flying out, it's definitely a long hit." Kurosawa nodded secretly, the landing point and speed were both good.

"Bang!" Wang Valley High School's left fielder opened his glove and caught the ball in his hand.

"Out!"

"It seems that the other party has been waiting there for a long time." Miyuki asked calmly.

Tojo nodded: "He studied everything about us very thoroughly, including the hitting habits and the direction of the ball landing."

"Should we start using the information provided by Watanabe-senpai?"

After a round of observation, Qingdao could almost confirm that the information prepared by Watanabe was exactly the same as what he had observed.

"Yes!" Miyuki nodded. It can seal the victory in advance, of course it is good.

One out and no one on base.

"First bat, shortstop, Kuramochi-san!"

It's so fast to reincarnate and play in the lane! On the pitcher's mound, Wakabayashi let out a long breath. It’s so difficult! By now, he had thrown about fifty pitches.

If this continues, he will be exhausted in the seventh inning before the ninth inning. It seemed that he had to think of a way. At this time, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Although the two shots I practiced before were just sharpening my skills in battle, it was good to be able to bluff. As long as we can deal with Qingdao's hitters, everything will be worth it.

"Phew!" With this thought in his mind, Wakabayashi no longer hesitated to throw the ball. The baseball was coming, and Kuramochi was thinking about the opponent's defense.

This defensive formation is really strange, I have never seen it before. But baseball is still coming, and Kuramochi has no intention of stopping. The bat was still swung.

"Bang!" The bat hit the ball and knocked the baseball away. Wakabayashi opened his gloves effortlessly and caught the ball.

"Out!"

In the Qingdao bench area, Kurosawa and Miyuki looked at each other in shock. Was that ball just a floater? According to the information and videos compiled before, Wakabayashi has never made this shot before.

"The information needs to be corrected!" Miyuki made a quick decision and decided to postpone the previously prepared actions.

Kurosawa didn't have any objection, after all, a new change ball suddenly appeared. We still need to sort out the information on this changing ball. Fortunately, it's only the third game now, so they still have a chance.

"Second bat, second baseman, Kominato-san!"

What a hassle!

Kominato's swing skills are many times better than Kuramochi's. If he bothers with it, Wakabayashi doesn't even know how many balls he will waste.

If you think about it carefully, every hitter in Qingdao seems to have this characteristic, which is very troublesome.

"boom!"

But this time Wakabayashi clearly guessed wrong, and Kominato swung the bat at the first pitch. The baseball was knocked between the second baseman and shortstop and toward the outfield.

"We've landed, run!"

Kominato ran towards the first base bag with all his strength.

Unfortunately for the King Valley High School right fielder, he was a step too quick. He caught the baseball as it flew out and put it to first base.

"Out!"

Despite the entanglement and the seemingly thrilling situation, Wang Gu fought tooth and nail to hold on to the game.

"It's so difficult to deal with, just like brown sugar!" With the same conclusion, Kurosawa also gave it to Wang Gu.

The gap in strength between the two teams is even greater than that between Seido and Ukumori. But Wang Gu was like a roly-poly. No matter how hard you pushed him, he would never fall.

"Out!"

"Out!"

"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout!"

When it was Ouya High School's turn to attack, Sawamura had three clean outs. The most important thing is that Hitozawamura has thrown less than thirty balls so far, while Wakabayashi has already thrown about sixty balls at this time.

"So fast!"

"So short!"

"How can anyone rest like this?"

In addition to the crispness of the scene, another advantage of Sawamura's pitching is also extremely obvious. Underlying the smooth pitching rhythm was Seido's solid defense.

As a result, the pace and process of the game seemed to be very fast, allowing Qingdao to always get out easily. There was no breathing room for everyone in Wang Valley.
