Chapter 428: The Fierce Battle of Ouya War
With nothing left to lose, Ouya High School decided to go all out. "Use whatever methods you prefer to seize that last chance," Coach Araki instructed from the bench before they took the field. The players from Ouya High executed this perfectly.
"Thud!"
The ball dropped, gleaming as it fell, while Eijun sprawled on the ground in a disheveled heap. Ouya High’s third-base coach decisively waved his arms again, sending Yamazato ch...

"In the last play, he chose a sidearm pitch to throw an inside fastball. It resulted in a ground ball toward third base, which was easily intercepted by the shortstop from Ouya High School. Three outs, and the sides switched. Despite conceding four runs in the previous inning, Ouya High School's ace, Gou Wakabayashi, remained resolute and tough, pulling off a three-up-three-down inning. It was a clear declaration that the game was fa...

"Second batter, second baseman, Kominato Haruichi."
"Be careful, Haruichi, that guy's pitching power hasn't weakened at all—in fact, it might have even strengthened. His control is the same, favoring low pitches, which might be even harder to hit than before."
"Understood."
With a solemn face, Haruichi nods and tightly grips his wooden bat.
His expression is grave as he steps onto the field.

A faint smile tugged at the corners of Eijun’s lips.
Without hesitation, Eijun quickly walked over to Coach Kataoka and whispered a few words to him.

The speed of that swing.

Ito swallowed hard, unable to stop himself from thinking.

In the midst of his judgment, Kuramochi swung fiercely.
This hit still didn’t yield much advantage, and the vibrating sensation in his arm even made Kuramochi furrow his brows.
