Zhang Han's long throw for the final out had an unimaginable impact on this game.
The fans in the stands were ecstatic, especially the die-hard supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team; their excitement was palpable.
Seido High School Baseball Team, having secured the double play, completely ended Wada High School Baseball Team's offense.
However, their players were certainly not satisfied with this; instead, they became even more furious.
Before this inning began, the boys from Seido High School Baseball Team never dreamed that Wada High School Baseball Team, whom they hadn't taken seriously, could cause them such significant trouble in the game.
It should be known that earlier, the boys from Seido High School Baseball Team had already made up their minds to secure a resounding victory in this game, silencing all the journalists who questioned them.
But now, although they still had a large lead in runs, the course of the game was not as satisfactory as they had hoped.
During the game, Wada High School Baseball Team actually scored, and they took two runs at once.
If it weren't for Zhang Han's final out, they might have scored three runs.
By the top of the Fifth Inning, Seido High School Baseball Team's batters were already on their third rotation at the batter's box.
Their players were all eager to fight; this time, they absolutely would not let the boys from Wada High School Baseball Team have an easy time.
Starting with Kuramochi, Seido High School Baseball Team's hitting lineup went all out.
Although Zhang Han couldn't get a Homerun, he did get two hits.
Isashiki Jun, behind him, accidentally got an out.
This Fifth Batter of Seido High School Baseball Team, the team's vice-captain, is often so unpredictable.
Sometimes, even opponents that Zhang Han and Yuuki find difficult to deal with, he can hit the ball out with ease.
Conversely, for other batters, opponents who might not pose much of a challenge, his probability of making a blunder is higher than everyone else's.
However, for the overall game of Seido High School Baseball Team, this had no impact.
Especially when Miyuki stepped into the batter's box, Seido High School Baseball Team scored a three-run Homerun.
This completely sealed the victory of the game.
The total score became 11:2.
If Wada High School Baseball Team hadn't coincidentally gotten a double play at this moment, ending Seido High School Baseball Team's furious offense, then Seido High School Baseball Team would have had a high probability of directly ending the game.
Next, Seido High School Baseball Team's pitcher was also changed.
Kawakami was a bit unwilling, but he couldn't say anything either.
Judging by his performance on the field just now, Coach Kataoka replacing him at this point was already very merciful.
According to Coach Kataoka's past personality, he might have been replaced instantly when performing poorly.
Tanba performed very strongly after taking the field.
With his previous cooperation with Chris, Tanba's entire pitching state seemed to have been reborn.
It was completely incomparable to before.
In this game, he pitched two innings, perfectly suppressing the opponent.
If this continued, Seido High School Baseball Team should be able to end the game early smoothly.
But Coach Kataoka still seemed dissatisfied and sent Furuya Satoru to the field.
This also cast a shadow over Seido High School Baseball Team.
Everyone originally thought he should be able to get three strikeouts very strongly, just like in the first game.
However, his performance, compared to the first game, was like a completely different person.
His pitching couldn't get into the strike zone at all, and he walked several people in a row.
If it weren't for the help of Seido High School Baseball Team's fielders, how many runs would he have given up in this inning?
It's an unknown.
Coach Ochiai shook his head at Furuya Satoru's performance in this game.
"Still too immature!"
It's not that Furuya Satoru wasn't working hard; in fact, after joining Seido High School Baseball Team, he perfectly completed all the training tasks assigned to them by the Coach.
Although it has only been a little over a month, his progress is visible to everyone.
On this point, even Ochiai had to nod.
But effort is one thing, and being able to produce results is another.
Furuya Satoru works very hard, but he lacks game experience.
When he's in good form at first, it's better; he can perfectly suppress opponents with his Fastball.
But once he starts throwing four-balls, he gets anxious, and the more anxious he gets, the more he can't get the pitch in.
"His ability to adjust his mentality and state during a game is too poor."
Even Manager Ota noticed this.
If it weren't for that, Furuya Satoru wouldn't have thrown so many consecutive four-balls.
You know, even if he reduced his pitching speed a bit, Wada High School Baseball Team's batters would still have difficulty hitting his pitching.
Of course, the fact that Wada High School Baseball Team's players underwent secret training before the game also contributed to this performance.
They must have used the break between games to get used to a one hundred fifty kilometer per hour Fastball.
Otherwise, facing Furuya's Fastball, they would probably find it difficult to control their urge to swing.
It was also through this game that the myth of Seido High School Baseball Team's super monster rookie was shattered.
Wada High School Baseball Team salvaged a run at the last moment.
Although they gave up two runs, being able to salvage one was still fortunate.
The final score was 13:3.
The boys from Seido High School Baseball Team got their wish and secured a resounding victory.
Against Wada High School Baseball Team, a regular at Koshien and not at all weak in strength, they gave the opponent no chance to retaliate.
From the very beginning of the game, they firmly controlled the initiative, and their lead never fell below three runs.
They simply dominated their opponent.
Regarding the strength displayed by Seido High School Baseball Team in this game, even those journalists who had previously questioned Seido High School Baseball Team still stubbornly believed that Seido High School Baseball Team's performance wasn't perfect.
For example, they gave up three runs, and each of their pitchers still had weaknesses.
They also had nothing to say.
After all, if measured by that standard, then every team in the entire country would have weaknesses, and not minor ones.
Under these circumstances, the competition between strong teams naturally becomes a competition of overall strength.
Seido High School Baseball Team's strength lies precisely here.
They were not originally a team known for their pitchers; as long as their overall strength is formidable, then everything is fine.
Although their pitchers find it difficult to perfectly suppress the opponent, nowadays, which team's pitcher dares to boast that he can shut out Seido High School Baseball Team's hitting lineup?
"The team that won the game and successfully entered the Kanto Tournament semifinals is Seido High School Baseball Team."
Seido High School Baseball Team, who had one less game played, directly advanced to the semifinals after two consecutive wins.
They were also the first team to advance to the semifinals.
They can now easily await their opponent.
"What's comforting is that the myth of Seido High School Baseball Team's super monster rookie seems to have been shattered."
Furuya Satoru's influence was very significant after the first game.
Any team that might compete against Seido High School Baseball Team on the field could not ignore this man's existence.
They would definitely try every means to deal with Furuya Satoru.
Unexpectedly, in this game, Furuya Satoru would self-destruct.
This kind of pitching, where he couldn't get the ball into the strike zone, had no meaning even if his pitching speed exceeded two hundred kilometers per hour.
In the upcoming games, Coach Kataoka would probably find it difficult to send him to the field again.
"Next, if we encounter Seido High School Baseball Team, and if the pitcher is Furuya Satoru, we'll just follow suit. Such a rookie is nothing to fear."
The Coach of Yokohama Kouhoku High School baseball team said with a smile.
They only needed to win one more game to meet Seido High School Baseball Team in the semifinals.
The expressions on the faces of the players around him, although still not completely relaxed, they all nodded in unison.
Clearly, they believed their Coach's words were very reasonable.
Although the Coach looked fierce and didn't seem like a good person, his judgment was very accurate; previously, anything he judged was basically spot on.
Yokohama Kouhoku High School baseball team's players got up and left the field.
Seido High School Baseball Team's game was over, and it was their turn to play next.
After watching Seido High School Baseball Team's game, they also felt their fighting spirit burning wildly within them.
They simply couldn't calm down.
They also wanted to enjoy themselves on the field.
All the players walked ahead, and their Coach, the guy who didn't look like a good person, lagged behind.
He turned his head and glanced at Seido High School Baseball Team's dugout.
Furuya Satoru's performance seemed to have no impact on the mood of Seido High School Baseball Team's other players; smiles constantly adorned their faces.
It seemed that the Seido players were quite satisfied with winning this game by such a large margin.
As for Furuya Satoru's problem, they seemed to not have noticed it at all.
Did they really not notice?
How could that be?
If they didn't have enough understanding of Furuya Satoru, how could Seido High School Baseball Team casually send this person to the field?
It can be said that no one understands Furuya Satoru's problems and weaknesses better than Seido itself.
Therefore, when they saw Furuya Satoru's poor performance, they were able to remain so calm.
Knowing he wasn't performing well, yet still willing to let him play, and even if he made mistakes, it didn't matter.
Why would Seido High School Baseball Team do this?
The answer is actually very obvious: although they didn't place all their hopes on Furuya Satoru, they still had expectations.
Even though they knew his shortcomings, they still let him play more, to get used to the game as much as possible.
This is cultivation!
And the reason they can cultivate him so steadily is because Seido High School Baseball Team's Coach and players have strong confidence in their own strength.
They believe that no matter what situation arises, they have enough ability to turn it around.
This is the number one hitting lineup in the country, West Tokyo Seido High School Baseball Team.
Their semifinal match will be a tough one.
