Chapter 243: Chapter 43: Todoroki Raichi!
West Tokyo qualifier, fourth round, second game.
Sankou High School's match against Yakushi High School will start immediately.
Seeing the people from the Sankou High School enter the field, the surrounding audience immediately gave a huge cheer. If Seidou hadn't added the two clubs, the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King's Guard. They would not be as loud as Sankou's in terms of momentum,
"Sankou, their popularity is so high!"
Even if Eijun knew that Sankou High was one of the three Giants in West Tokyo, he never thought that their popularity would be so high.
Way higher than Seidou.
"Tsk, of course they are. We're just some local turtles who haven't left Tokyo. And they're the top eight in Koshien."
Isashiki murmured in dissatisfaction.
"Don't worry, Jun-san. After this summer, I will make your fame resound throughout the country."
Sawamura couldn't bear to see Isashiki getting depressed with himself and said actively.
"You little brat, I'm not weak enough to need my Kohai to comfort me."
'We must go! To Koshien!'
Although Isashiki scolded Sawamura, the seniors in the third grade were still very grateful that Sawamura could come to Seidou.
With his participation, Seidou gained more confidence against Sankou High and Inashiro.
Amidst the cheers, Sankou High School and their opponent, the players from Yakushi High School, started the game.
"It's weird!"
Ochiai pinched his goatee and looked at the first list of Yakushi High School.
"What's wrong?"
Kataoka turned around and asked.
Ochiai handed the list to Kataoka and said puzzled: "Today, the core lineup of the Yakushi has been replaced. It is completely different from the information we investigated before. Three first-year players have been added. Mishima, Todoroki and Akiba."
In the competition with the Sankou high school, the main force of the third grade was replaced, and the first grade was in their place.
"Did they abandon the game? Or is there another purpose?"
No need to ask, they must have other plans.
This is the last competition of the third grade. What is the point of not playing in the third grade?
Pointless!
"The next game may become very interesting."
Ochiai has a lot of experience, and he has a faint hunch that something may happen.
Miyuki sitting with Sawamura right now. Chris sat behind them and gave them advice.
When Sawamura and Miyuki were partners, the two liked to sit together and study the opponent's information, so that it would be much more convenient for the pitch calling later.
Chris was on the sidelines, offering advice.
Ping!
Sankou's first batter chose to steal bases.
"This guy is the starter of Sankou High School. His name is Hirakawa. And his speed is not below Kuramochi at all, it will become very troublesome once he gets on base."
As if to verify Miyuki's words, with Hirakawa on the base, Hoshida and Miyagawa hit consecutive hits, sending Hirakawa back to home plate.
The Sankou first holds the RBI.
1:0!
"If we go up against the Sankou High School, we must be careful about this guy, and we must not let him go to base."
Chris offers advice.
"He can use his speed and skilled in bunts, it is not easy to stop him from going to base."
Sawamura also seriously used Hirakawa as an imaginary enemy and came to a conclusion.
The bunt may not look like it is glorious, but you have to say, Players with superb bunt skills and speed are DISGUSTING. Even for Sawamura, is not easy to solve them.
Combining Kuramochi's speed with Sawamura's bunt skills will also create such a monster.
The opponent is unprepared, and the success rate of stealing bases is as high as 80% or more! Even if you are prepared, you may not be able to stop this stealing monster.
"His bunts are good, but not as good as yours," Miyuki commented briefly.
On the field, no Out, and runners at first and third base.
Ping!
And now, the fourth batter came to the field and hit a home run.
The white ball flew Out of the field.
The Sankou core lineup scored a three-run homer and led by the fourth batter.
In the first inning alone, the Sankou High School scored a full six points.
6:0!
At a time like this, except for Sawamura, everyone on the scene, including the Coaches of Seidou, and all the players thought,
That Sankou High School won!
The strength of the two teams is not comparable. Heart-to-heart, if Seidou can be in the lead easily by six points in the first inning, it is hard for Seidou to imagine that they will lose that game.
Their strength is not less than Sankou's, how can they lose?
Certainly not!
The game continued, and in the second half of the inning, Yakushi High School attacked.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"
Ping!
"OUT!"
In the beginning, the Ace of the Sankou High School was full of firepower.
After that Pitch, he gave a vicious look at Seidou's team in the stands.
"Hey, this is a challenge!"
"Tanpa, you can't lose to him."
"Didn't the Coach say he will arrange for you to play after the conditions are right?"
"You can't lose to him. In any case, you are also our Ace of the third year."
The surrounding third graders all encouraged Tanpa.
Tanpa stared at Manaka in a daze, his eyes revealing an unwillingness to lose.
Two years ago***
"No, Kac-chan, I have accepted Seidou's invitation."
"EH? Why? Weren't you invited to Ichidai too…."
"I don't want to keep watching Kac-chan's back, I want to be a real Ace too."
***
'Now, have you become an Ace yourself?' Asking himself, Tanpa doesn't know either.
However, he never regretted joining Seidou.
'It has been great to be able to work hard with these friends around me for the past three years.'
'Kac-chan, although now I am no longer an Ace.'
'But this year's Koshien, we will go!'
'No matter who stands in front of us, nothing can stop us.'
'Even you!'
At a time like this, the situation on the field has changed.
Yakushi High's third batter made a hit and got on the base.
Two Outs, runner at first base.
This time it was their turn for their fourth batter, third baseman, Todoroki Raichi.
Boom!!
The swing sounded like a thunderbolt, and the ball was directly hit and flew Out.
"Kehahahaha, Kehahahaha…"
The boy holding the bat looked intoxicated.
"It's amazing, it's really amazing when the ball is at hand, it suddenly turns."
Home run, two-run home run!
The situation on the field suddenly changed.
Raichi changed the situation on the field with one Swing.
The score became 6:2!
Yakushi, who had already been considered by Seidou to be defeated, suddenly showed signs of rising back.
On the field, off the field, everyone was sluggish.
Then, a huge clamor suddenly came Out.
"What was that?"
"Home run, two-run home run!"
"He actually hit the Manaka's Slider."
"What's that guy's name?"
"Is he really first grade?"
"Todoroki Raichi!"
This summer, Raichi stirred up the storms in the entire West Tokyo.
He is destined to leave his mark on this stage.
