Ace of Diamonds: The Last Piece of the Puzzle

Miyuki gestured to Tanba with four sticks! We can't take it lightly. Throw your best curveball on the first pitch. Don't let it be too sweet!

Tanba couldn't help but curl up his lips when he saw Miyuki directly placing his gloves at a low inner corner. He was really as strong as ever with the ball! It can really inspire pitchers and hitters to face off against each other! Although I have to admit that this junior is excellent every time, his personality is also really annoying!

"call out!"

"Bad ball!"

Miyuki looked at Tanba's condition and felt that it was okay, just a little bit away from the position he wanted! It's a pity to call a bad ball! But the batter doesn’t seem to be swinging at all! Probably aiming for a straight shot like Inami! It’s a bit troublesome! I don’t know how senior’s straight shot was going today! But we can’t let the batter take it easy!

Let's throw a crossbow, Tanba-senpai, in the same position as before. You must make the shot accurately this time to make the opponent alert. They haven't seen your finger ball yet, so let them see it, Miyuki signaled.

"call out!"

"nice shot!"

Miyuki thought about it and swung the bat. It seems that if the senior's straight ball problem is not solved today, everyone will definitely catch the ball in the future. However, there is no rush now. It is better to be cautious with the four bats!

"Phew!" Yes, this ball feels much better than before!

"boom!"

Miyuki's pupils shrank, right? You must not fight well! He quickly lifted his mask and shouted, "Left field!"

Kurosawa had already run towards the approximate landing point early and adjusted his position when the four bats came on the field. After all, for those with long-hitting and home-run abilities, it is better to stand deeper!

Good luck! I don’t know what will happen to Tanba-senpai if he hits a home run! Kurosawa made a flying dive and confiscated the ball that was about to hit the ground in his glove. He calmly stood up and signaled to the referee.

"Out!"

"One out, Tanba-senpai! Don't worry about shooting!" Kurosawa gestured to Tanba, handing me the left field.

"Don't worry, Tanba! You're out!"

"Get them one by one first!"

"One out, one out!"

Ochiai in the stands stroked his beard. Did the one just start running away in advance? ! You already know the location! Dynamic vision is good! No wonder the blow is good! But that ace was completely saved by the defense! Putting him up at this time, does Coach Kataoka trust his ace? I still want to see if he can come in handy in future situations!

Miyuki wiped his sweat! He was saved by the guards again! He quickly stepped forward and comforted him: "Senior, the pitch was very good just now! Don't be stressed! But I will match the next few hitters with straight balls, so be mentally prepared! I believe that Senior Tanba will be able to lead us into Koshien. Top eight!"

Tanba showed a shocked look. He didn't expect Miyuki to say such words, but he remembered that he should have self-destructed at this time! But it’s third grade! I finally entered Koshien, how could I destroy myself and the team here!

Danbo still remembered the previous games vividly. He always couldn't bear the pressure and blew himself up at critical moments, giving away the hard-earned scores of his teammates, but they still comforted him.

"Miyuki, I'm fine! Anyway, the reason why I was kicked out was because of your ball-matching problem, that's it!" Tanba said proudly, I don't want to leave any regrets in the last year.

"I'm relieved that Tanba-senpai thinks so! Everyone on the field and the coach are looking forward to your performance, senior! Come on! You are our ace in Seido!" Miyuki said and returned to home plate.

Even though I say that, emotions are something that I can’t figure out in the first place! How can it be so easy to recover? In addition, it was already unstable when he first came on stage!

Next, Tanba received five or six hits one after another, and even got one run back from Kiryu. However, after losing this point, Tanba calmed down. He remembered the promise he made to himself when he graduated from junior high school, including Kaname Manaka and his teammates. It would be too embarrassing if he still behaves like this when he arrives at Koshien. Come on!

Then, like a buff, he struck out seven or eight at-bats. Although he lost a lot of balls, luckily he didn't lose any points.

As expected of Tanba-senpai! If he is in good condition, he is a first-rate pitcher; if he is not in good condition, he is a third-rate pitcher! But now Tanba-senpai is very reliable! He looks more and more like a trump card! Kurosawa thought as he looked at Tanba who had been receiving love from his classmates and teammates since he came back.

"Second baseman Ryosuke-san!"

Qingdao's batting was once again in Liangsang's hands. He stood on the pitcher's mound with a smile on his face, looking at the ball and thinking about the last time he hit the ball with you, and this time! I’m really looking forward to it! After all, our ace was almost swayed by you when he first came on the scene. You shouldn’t be swayed so easily by your words!

"call out!"

"Out of bounds!" Liang Sang thought as he waved the metal bat and looked like he was gradually getting used to it! Then I'm welcome!

"The outside world!"

"The outside world!"

...

"The outside world!"

"Wow, how many balls are there! That hitter is too scary, right?! He keeps hitting the ball out of bounds!"

"Yeah, it's so annoying!"

"There are almost twenty balls! If this continues, the pitcher will probably use up a lot of energy!"

"Yes, yes! Does Qingdao want to directly defeat the opponent's ace?!"

Hiromi Tate could hardly stop laughing on the pitcher's mound. This hitter was so difficult to deal with! Why is it so annoying? It’s so annoying! He hits any ball, just to blow himself up! ha! It was like this last time too! I will never admit defeat this time! The fighting spirit is getting stronger and stronger!

Ryosuke in the strike zone actually feels uncomfortable too! My hands are still shaking now! How abominable! Sure enough, the power of the ball is really heavy. The more you go to the back, the more powerful it feels! Must hit this ball!

"call out!"

"Oh!"

"Strikeout!"

Ryosuke was very surprised that the ball seemed to be getting faster? ! He turned to look at the ball speed displayed on the screen, and saw 145km displayed on the screen.

Gee, that’s so unpleasant! Has it evolved at this juncture? ! Well! But this is Koshien! interesting!

"Three-stick center fielder Isashiki-san!"

After Guan defeated Liang Sang, his confidence returned. He just felt that his hand was getting better and better, he was getting more and more relaxed, and his momentum was getting higher and higher.

This is a showdown with the top laners in the country! This feeling is really great! Guan couldn't help but show a wonderful smile again, and solved three and four sticks in one breath with momentum, ending the game.

On the other side was Tanba, who was also getting better. The two sides once again entered into a pitching duel, but both sides knew that Kiryu's ace was just pitching with faith and could collapse at any time. Aomichi's one-point lead was also an advantage.

The game continued until the first half of the eighth inning, and it was Kurosawa's turn to hit the line again.

Kurosawa looked at Senior Hall on the pitcher's mound and thought, this energy is really scary! If you don't interrupt, one point will be very unsafe! You must be tired after shooting so many balls! It's time to go down and take a rest!

"Phew!" Kiryu's catcher also wanted to take advantage of the good momentum of his ace pitcher and didn't want to disturb his mentality. After all, it was already the eighth inning and everyone knew that his ace might not be able to hold on at any time.

"Bang!" Then I'm sorry! We want to win! Kurosawa lowered his center of gravity and swung the metal bat with all his strength. The feeling in his hand told Kurosawa that he was fine this time!

Standing in the batter's box, he calmly watched the ball fly out of the court and land on the stands in the distance. Then he circled the court and returned to the rest area in the face of Kiryu's stunned eyes and the cheers of the audience.

"Hahaha! You are too fierce!"

"Ah, that's what I meant! Just type it out casually?!"

"No! Senior Kuan has thrown too many balls! The flaws should be gradually exposed now, so everyone just needs to grasp it!"

"You kid, why don't you just give me an advantage and be good?"

"Tamba-senpai, please relax and pitch in the next two innings, we will get out!" Kurosawa said to Tanba who had just been struck out.

"Yes, yes! Don't worry, Tanba!"

Everyone knows that Danbo is very tired, but if we can hold on at this time, we will be easier in the next few games. Of course, Danba himself understands this.

I didn't expect that my junior would be so considerate. With the home run result, I could relax and pitch. There is really no way to feel more at ease than this! So reliable!

"I will!" Danbo said firmly.

Miyuki was very happy to see Tanba who seemed to be in high spirits, but Nanno is so reliable! It's really amazing that that kind of ball can hit a home run! Why do you feel like you are more of a catcher than me? He scored points to support the pitcher, and thinking about his performance, he couldn't help but smile. (*ˉ︶ˉ)

Kurosawa felt very helpless when he saw Miyuki, who usually didn't participate at all at this time and only watched silently from the side, showing strange smiles from time to time! Kazuya is indeed an interesting person! I really want to know what he is thinking about now!

The game on the field was once again separated by two points, and although the Ace Hall was still holding on, it still could not return to its bravery just now, as if the anger in its heart had accidentally been released.

Hakushu, who struck out eight but was beaten by nine, took the opportunity to strike out, ran to first base, and once again had his turn to hit the line.

"Fight out! Kuramochi!"

"Let's take a shot from the cheetah!"

Kuramochi thought about what Kurosawa said in the dugout. Wasn't the power of the game not as good as before? ! It would be really embarrassing if you can't fight out like this!

"call out!"

"boom!"

"Hip!" Kuramochi quickly ran to first base. The power of the ball was indeed weakened, but as expected, that guy was a pervert! He actually hit this kind of ball into a home run, and looked at his trembling hands with helplessness. This is talent! But my footwork is no worse than yours!

The subsequent two, three and four bats were hit one after another, Aomichi directly scored three points in the inning, and Kiryu used Masuko to score a double play to end the inning, leaving the third and fourth bats on the bases.
