After Osaka Kirie-gee scored 6 points in the first half of the fifth game, they were firmly controlled by the game.

Despite this, the White Mountain players maintained their morale, worked hard to defend the defense line, and tried to organize a counterattack.

The mid-season score was 10-3 for a long time, but on the scene, Baishan High School had more defenses and fewer attacks, and only three people went out of base in the five, six and seven innings.

The balance of the game was broken again in the first half of the eighth inning.

After watching the round of Takashi Iwada's pitch, Osaka Kirie Oshi started with four sticks Fujiwara Kyoya and five sticks Neiyo, and scored a scoring opportunity and added 2 points.

Then he took Osaka Kirie Osaka to score 12 to 3, and the game entered the second half of the eighth inning.

In the second half of the eighth game, Shirayama's match was followed by Kyotaro Ichibashi Ichibashi, and Tetsu Nishino went to the waiting area outside the rest seat to prepare.

In the third game in the second half of the six innings, Takara Nishino made a strong infield rolling ball, but was intercepted by shortstop Nen-Oh Sangsen successfully attacked the ball and blocked it at first base.

Osaka Kirie replaced the pitcher in the seventh in the last inning, and now the team's third pitcher, Kai Yokogawa.

Although Yokogawa Kai, who is in third grade, is the third pitcher in Osaka, he is enough to be an absolute ace when he goes to other schools.

Left shot.

Height 1.9 meters.

Large left wrist plus good at shooting change balls.

Kai Yokogawa, who was once selected as a representative of Japan in middle school, has his life plan that includes professional baseball paths and can be said to be a baseball pride.

The baseball team of Osaka Kiriyuki High School adopts elite training, with at most a dozen people participating in the department in each session, and the players come from all over the country.

After being replaced and closing the ball, Yokogawa Kai used his low-post ball path to trick the players of Baishan.

To be hit in the area.

Looking at the table on the court, Takashi Nishino waited for a while.

Kyotaro Nichibashi Ichikawa was out, Hiroki Mikatsuki knocked out a hit and hit it to first base, and Tetsuki Nishino entered the attacking area after being out of first base.

Since the third inning, no runners in Baishan have been to the second base, let alone narrow the score difference.

At this time, one point is so difficult.

It is precisely because of respecting every opponent that Osaka Kirie goes all out every time he attacks and defends.

The second half of the eighth game.

12 to 3.

A situation of complete disadvantage.

After entering the right strike zone, Takashi Nishino pursed his lips and raised his bat.

"This time I must hit the baton."

For everyone, for the seniors, and for himself, he hopes to get another 1 point back.

call out!

The baseball escaped from Yokogawa Kai's hand and flew over the home plate from the pitcher hill.

"Clang!"

Tetsu Nishino tried to hit the ball with a low outer corner.

Looking at the ball flying high in front of the right outfield, Tetsu Nishino stepped forward and ran, even though he knew that the ball had no chance.

Right outfield.

Osaka Kirige right outfielder Aodi Fighting Wu easily received the falling baseball and raised his gloves to signal to the referee.

"Exit!"

Seeing the referee's gesture, Tetsu Nishino walked back to the rest seat from Ono, with a bitter expression on his face.

"The four-ball player Nishino was eliminated from the right outfield," commentator Takashi Yamashita said, "Will this be his last play this summer?"

"This summer, Nishino player has had such a bitter expression for the first time."

Subsequently, the five-player Ito Nao failed to hit the hit, and Baishan's attack in the second half of the eighth inning ended.

In the defense of Shirayama in the first half of the nine innings, Takashi Nishino caught the thief base of Osaka Kirige's second club, Green Di Dou Wu, to block the kill and get the third outs, and complete the defense of the half inning without losing points.

The game entered the second half of the last nine innings.

Before the start, all the players of Baishan High School walked to the rest seat, bent down and leaned on their shoulders, and shouted together.

"Baishan!"

"Go up!"

In this half of the game, Baishan played according to the six-bar round, and the supervisor of Dongtaoshi sent players to play early.

Mystery No. 11, Kamino Masashi, third grade.

No. 16, Hori Ryuki, third grade.

No. 18, Yoshioka Haito, third grade.

Under the shocking support from the Alps stands, three third-year players took the field one after another, stepping on the soil in the Jiaziyuan strike zone and swinging their tightly clenched bats.

"Clang————!"

A white baseball with the words "The 100th National Colleges and Universities Wildball Player Rights Memorial Conference".

Flying above the home plate, then slowly falling.

The moment the baseball fell into the gloves, there was a tide of applause from all around, and all the players in Baishan walked out of the rest seat.

"Three out!"

"The competition is over!"

“12 to 3!”

"The Osaka Kiritsune team entered the 8th final in the Spring and Summer season!"

"There is only one game left before achieving the Spring and Summer Random Domination twice!"

The players of the two teams walked to the base area and lined up. Jiaziyuan sounded the sound of the flute at the end of the game, and the players walked closer to each other and shook hands.

"Buzzing buzzing————”

As the sound of the flute, seeing Fujiwara Kyota coming over and stretching out his hand, Tetsu Nishino also reached out to him.

"Fight very well," said Fujiwara Kyoda.

"Senior Fujiwara will also be cheering tomorrow."

The two of them sincerely patted each other on the back. Although they were opponents, they both agreed with each other's performance.

The players of Shiratsuyama retreated to the rest seat on the third base and made way for the players of Osaka Kirigi to line up in front of the home plate.

As the music prelude is played, Osaka Kirishino High School school song echoes at the Kokoen Stadium.

"Stack on the Great Peace Plain~"

"There is a pine wind in the mountains of Ikko~"

...

"Under this world of prosperity and decline~"

"The flag of unchanging ideal~"

"So I, Osaka Kirie~~!"

At the end of the game, the players in Baishan walked on the court and were not too frustrated. Many of them were smiling interestingly.

After all, for Baishan, it is the first time that he lost in Jiaziyuan.

However, lined up in front of the rest seat, listening to the opponent sing the school song and watching the winner's school flag slowly rise at the Jiaziyuan Stadium.

Tears flowed silently from their faces.

There was no cry at all, just letting the overflowing emotions drive them.

The originally pure white uniforms could not be seen in the clean appearance, and most of them had already been covered in soil.

Some players still had the dirt on their faces when they just rushed to the base, and tears flowed down and obvious traces were slipped out.

It was obvious that they didn't need to rush to the first base, but they still rushed down again and again, so they were covered in mud.

Tetsu Nishino held back her tears.

He still hopes to win the game in a situation where he is almost unfavorable by everyone, in order to write it on the wish board.

"The best summer with seniors!"

Although he had the trouble of "it's natural to lose", Tetsu Nishino has been fighting against pressure.

But what I feel now... is indeed the weak who lost the game in the end.

I originally thought that even if I lost, I would have to face it with a smile, but to be honest, I was very unwilling to lose Nishino Tetsuya in this way.

“…”

Seeing the players in Osaka Kirige smiled happily, I truly felt that I had lost.
Chapter completed!
