In the first half of the ninth inning, Xinglong University attacked.
The score was 8:1, with a difference of seven points between the two sides.
In this round of offense, as long as Xinglong University could not score seven points or more, there would be no such thing as the second half of the round. (It is also a product that has no actual value.)
At this time, Qingdao High School did not continue their previous style, changing pitchers to finish.
Although Akatsuki Fukutani's performance at Qingdo High School was very eye-catching, in the end, Director Kataoka was only cultivating him as a newcomer.
After the third-year Tanba Koichiro retired, he will take the position of Tanba Koichiro as the main substitute of Sawamura Eijun.
With the cooperation of Eijun Sawamura and Akatsuki Furutani, even if the third-year players retire, the loss of Qingdo High School on the pitching mound will not be large.
Of course, this is just the original practice of Qingdo High School and the original plan of Director Kataoka.
Opportunities are earned.
At the time of the original regional competition, I didn't think that as soon as I entered the competition in Jiaziyuan, Xiao Gu's performance was absolutely impressive.
He is like the kind of player who is born for big scenes, the bigger the scene, the better his performance.
In Koshien, he played twice and his performance was perfect.
With such a near-perfect performance, he has won the trust of Director Kataoka.
In the ninth inning, Kawakami, who was ready to play, failed to get the chance in the end.
Supervisor Kataoka chose to let Akatsuki, who was in excellent condition, cast the last game.
"Eighth, outfielder, Hirata."
At this time, the blow of Xinglong University was their eighth bat.
Although he is only a low-ranking hitter in Xinglong University, his striking strength is definitely not weak.
It's just a pity that his opponent is Xiao Gu Xiao.
Not to mention that Xinglong University has not seriously collected information on Xiaogu Xiao before, and has not done any special targeted training.
Even if they had collected information and had done training before, it was difficult for the batter to hit the ball for the first time facing Akatsuki Yuguo's pitch.
That's the perk of having a featured pitching pitcher.
It's hard to be a threat to a pitcher at this level for the first time without seeing their pitching in person.
Hirata is naturally the same.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!"
For three consecutive strikes, Hirata, who had a very good hitting strength, did not touch a single ball.
Once out, no one hits base.
Qing Dao High School is still away from winning the final two games.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"strike out!!"
Followed by, Xinglong University's ninth bar, completely copied Hirata's performance.
All three **** were swung, and none were hit.
Two outs, no one on base.
Qingdao High School was only one game away from the final victory.
At this time, the players in the rest area of Qingdao High School could no longer hold back. None of them were sitting on the rest chairs, and they were all crowded on the guardrail in front of the rest area.
He stared at Akatsuki, who was pitching the ball.
One, just another one!
As long as they get one more out, Qingdao High School wins.
Not only them, but also those in the audience.
They all watched the final showdown eagerly, waiting for the result to be revealed.
In the first half of the ninth inning, no one hit the base with two outs, and the opponent was Oda Bensheng.
Oda Bensheng's fighting spirit is still very high, and his eyes are looking at Xiao Gu Xiao on the pitcher mound.
He is more pragmatic. At this time, he does not have the luxury of saying that Xinglong University can tie the score in one breath, or even overtake.
With such a big gap in the score, the players of Qingdao High School are not in their pockets. How could Xinglong High School easily catch up?
Losing is a certainty, but this does not mean that the players of Xinglong University should give up.
Even if they are struggling to the death, even if it is for face, they always hope to get one more point.
Oda has this obsession.
He hopes to continue to spread the line, so his attention is unprecedented.
But the reality is often so cruel. Although Oda Bensheng's determination is strong and scary, it does not mean that he has the ability to play Yugu Xiao's pitch.
"boom!"
There was a loud sound like a shell burst, and the shocked people were stunned.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
The first ball, Oda Benson, didn't even react.
Although he had done a strong psychological construction before, he still couldn't help trembling in his heart when he really played against Jiang Gu Xiao's pitch.
It was this extremely small performance that he didn't even have time to swing the bat.
When it came to the second ball and the third ball, Oda finally got used to Xiaogu Xiao's ball, at least he wouldn't be so frightened that he couldn't even swing a bat.
He swings the bat perfectly!
It's just that this swing seems a bit futile.
The bat and the white ball never touched.
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!"
"nice shot!!"
"strike out!!"
Three outs, offense and defense...
With the last elimination count, the 1/4 final between Qingdao High School and Xinglong High School can be considered a result.
"The total score is 8:1, and the final winner is the Qingdao High School baseball team!"
"Let's congratulate Qingdao High School for advancing to the semi-finals with warm applause!"
"Qingdao, the sword points to the champion!"
At this moment, the whole scene was boiling.
The strength of Qingdao High School makes people speechless.
Before the game, everyone originally predicted that the strength of this game should be evenly matched. Even if Qingdao High School has a slight advantage, it will never reach the level of crushing.
Of course, with regard to the result, everyone believed that Qing Dao would definitely win in the end.
Why would there be such a thought? Mainly because of the existence of Sawamura Eijun.
In the eyes of most people, the biggest problem of Xinglong University is that there is still no batter who can conquer Sawamura Eijun.
In the previous match against Xibang High School, Sawamura suppressed Sano Shuzai, who was the country's No. 1 hitter at the time.
Even such a super monster can't defeat the big devil Sawamura Eijun, let alone other ordinary batters.
Compared with Sawamura, the gap is too big!
This is the reason why everyone is not optimistic about Xinglong University.
Unexpectedly, in the real game, even if Sawamura Eijun did not stand on the pitching mound, Qingdo High School also crushed Xinglong High School.
on the press stand.
"The difference is huge!"
Looking up at the score on the electronic board, Owada Qiuzi said thoughtfully.
Next to him Fujio said flatly.
"In terms of strength alone, the gap between the two sides should not be as big as the score. Especially when Sawamura-san did not climb the pitching mound, the gap between the two sides is even smaller. The reason why Xinglong High School lost so badly, Just because of their mistakes in preparation..."
