6:1.
When Seido High School Baseball Team scored their sixth run, the game entered a new phase. Seido High School Baseball Team had completely seized the initiative, and winning seemed like a foregone conclusion.
Even though Yakushi High School Baseball Team's players had performed very well before, showcasing their strength and keeping pace until now, the score difference was too large. Coupled with the difference in strength displayed by the two teams, it was hard to imagine how Yakushi High School Baseball Team could turn the tide.
"Good job!"
"Well done!"
When Zhang Han returned to the dugout, he was greeted by the bright smiles of his teammates. It was clear that they believed victory was in their grasp. Now, the question was whether they could end the game early.
"Inashiro is unlucky enough to be the first to face Yakushi," Kominato Ryosuke remarked with a smile.
Many of his teammates shared the same thought. If Inashiro had known about Yakushi's information beforehand, just like them, they shouldn't have lost that game.
"Those guys from Yakushi don't look like they're going to surrender. It's too early to draw conclusions now," Zhang Han said.
His other teammates also nodded in agreement. After several innings of play, they understood the unique nature of Yakushi High School Baseball Team. Give them a little sunshine and they'll brighten up; give them some paint and Yakushi would dare to open a dye shop for you. They couldn't afford to be careless against such an opponent; otherwise, they could easily be caught off guard.
"Fifth batter, center fielder, Isashiki Jun."
Zhang Han had hit the ball. Yuuki had also hit the ball. As one of Seido High School Baseball Team's core batters, their performances were undoubtedly very satisfying. While other batters struggled against Sanada, they steadily displayed their strength and strongly led the team forward.
Also as one of the team's core batters, Isashiki Jun believed that he absolutely could not fall short here. If he stopped here, then even if he wanted to see the backs of those two in the future, he wouldn't be able to. He had to hit it out, he absolutely had to hit it out. There could be no hesitation; he had to be decisive and merciless.
Isashiki Jun made up his mind, and when the ball flew towards him, he swung without hesitation. However, he found that the baseball seemed to suddenly accelerate as it approached him.
How could that be? His heart was filled with shock. Nevertheless, his bat still accurately struck the baseball, sending it flying. The white ball landed on the side of Third Base.
"Gahahaha..."
Accompanied by a strange laugh, a man rushed out like an arrow, seemingly intending to catch the ball from foul territory. Unfortunately, he was too far from the baseball and could only watch helplessly as it landed and bounced in front of him.
"Pop!"
"Foul!"
In Yakushi High School Baseball Team's dugout, the substitute players were all indignant.
"What is Raichi doing?"
"Is he performing acrobatics?"
"That ball was at least several meters away from you, wasn't it? How did you judge that?"
"Idiot!"
These guys criticized Raichi Todoroki without any mercy. This even made Todoroki Raizo unable to bear it, and he was ready to argue with his players.
"He's only been playing formally for two months, after all. Don't be too harsh!"
"Even if you are the coach, you can't be so biased towards your own son, can you?"
"Are we not allowed to speak when he makes a mistake?"
"It's precisely because of your excessive indulgence that Raichi's fielding has been slow to improve..."
Unexpectedly, Yakushi High School Baseball Team's players showed no appreciation at all and instead dragged him into the criticism as well.
This scene made the Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates break out in a cold sweat. Those guys from Yakushi High School Baseball Team were too bold.
They dared to openly complain about their own coach during a game. Were they not afraid that the coach would make things difficult for them during future practices?
If Yakushi High School Baseball Team's players knew that Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates were worrying about them, they would surely scoff. Afraid, of course they were afraid.
After all, Todoroki Raizo had never been a gentleman, and he was capable of playing dirty tricks on players behind their backs. But for Yakushi High School Baseball Team's players, they could no longer worry about how bad the consequences would be later.
They just wanted to enjoy themselves now. They would worry about future matters later.
Although Yakushi High School Baseball Team seemed very unconventional, Seido High School Baseball Team's teammates still sensed a dangerous aura from them. These guys were full of energy from beginning to end.
Even when they were trailing by a large margin, even when the score difference was too great to overcome, they still did not give up. They were always ready to rush up and bite Seido High School Baseball Team hard.
Initially, only a few of the more level-headed players in Seido High School Baseball Team were wary, but now basically all of Seido's players were filled with a sense of crisis. They clearly knew that today's game was not over yet. Against such an opponent, a mere five-run difference was not enough; they needed more.
"Ping!"
Isashiki Jun gritted his teeth and sent the ball flying. Although the opponent's pitching seemed very powerful, it was ultimately Isashiki Jun who was more skilled. At that moment, Isashiki Jun felt that the previously unattainable distance had shrunk a little. He seemed to be able to see Zhang Han and Yuuki Tetsuya's backs again.
When the fans watched the baseball fly out into the outfield and land, the stands erupted in excitement. With two outs, all three core batters of Seido High School Baseball Team had cleanly hit the ball for a base hit.
Three consecutive hits. A true three-hit streak. Although Yakushi High School Baseball Team showed great resilience, Seido High School Baseball Team ultimately had the upper hand.
"Seido!"
"Seido!!"
The supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team in the stands began to spontaneously cheer for the players on the field.
On the other side, Yuuki had already started running before the baseball landed. He was already approaching Third Base.
"Keep going!"
The Third Base coach gave the signal. Although the player who had the ball made him a little uneasy, the distance was far enough that even if the ball had already been thrown, Seido still had a high probability of scoring. With such a large lead, Seido High School Baseball Team's offense could afford to be even more aggressive.
Seeing Yuuki cross Third Base and prepare to run back to Home Base, Miyuki, waiting at the batting circle, almost shed tears.
No, senior. Why couldn't you show some generosity and give your junior a chance? It would be fine to just reach Third Base; why force yourself to Home Base? If there were runners on First Base and Third Base, I would definitely bring you home, I promise.
Miyuki's feelings were sincere, but unfortunately, no one could hear his thoughts.
For Seido now, they preferred to use an aggressive offensive approach to completely crush Yakushi High School Baseball Team's confidence and score as many runs as possible. After all, they were already close to the run difference needed to end the game early.
Just as Yuuki was about to reach Home Base, a sharp throw landed precisely in the Yakushi catcher's glove a split second before him. In the instant before Yuuki Tetsuya charged the base, the Yakushi catcher successfully blocked him with his glove.
"Out!"
Three outs, side retired.
In the Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout and among the fans in the stands, everyone was speechless. They looked incredulously at the man on the pitcher's mound.
The ball, which was originally impossible to deliver so precisely, had been relayed by this pitcher at lightning speed. He first caught the ball thrown by the outfielder, then immediately relayed it to Home Base.
When a baseball was thrown so perfectly, there was only one outcome.
