Diamond Ace's Passionate Swing

Lin Xiao clenched his fists on the pitcher's mound.

"These seniors are really reliable."

"Trust in the hard work you've put in so far."

Miyuki patted the catcher's mask, his eyes sharp.

"As long as we stick to Seido's baseball style."

"It's about to start."

Lin Xiao stood on the pitcher's mound, his gaze calm and serene.

"Let's go."

The outcome will be clear.

Take care of them.

The commentator noticed the changes on the field.

"The outfield position has been moved slightly back from its fixed location."

"Shouldn't we move forward to defend? Next up is Inashiro's central hitting line."

"If the ball hits to the outfield, even the runner on first base could potentially return to home plate!"

A four-point difference is not an insurmountable barrier, but can Daoshi overcome Lin Xiao?

"We should be on guarding against long-range shots now."

The atmosphere on the field grew increasingly tense.

Inashi's third batter stepped into the batter's box.

Lin Xiao did not give him any chance.

"call out!"

"Ping!"

The infield fly ball was caught cleanly by shortstop Kuramochi.

"Out!"

Two players are out!

All eyes were on the last batter.

"Senior Aya!"

"Please, Aya-senpai!"

In the Inashi rest area and on the stands, all hopes were pinned on this third-year main gunner.

Lin Xiao is about to throw the first noteworthy pitch.

He adjusted the brim of his hat, his eyes fixed on Miyuki's gloves.

"call out!"

"boom!"

The first shot, a sharp cut into the outside corner.

Harada did not swing.

"Good shot!" The referee's voice was clear and powerful.

"good!"

"Well done, Lin Xiao!"

"Let's go!"

The stands on the Seido side instantly erupted in cheers.

"Excellent, excellent! That's the real Lin Xiao, full of presence!"

"That's it, that's it!"

The second goal.

Lin Xiao waved his arm.

"call out!"

"boom!"

Inside corner cutter!

Harada swung the bat with all his might, but only hit air.

"nice shot!"

Swing and miss!

With two positives and zero negatives, the attacker was instantly cornered.

"Your ball strength is quite good."

"His momentum was greatly boosted by that first great shot!"

"Take care of him, Lin Xiao!"

"The last shot! The last shot..."

The shouts from the audience grew louder and louder.

The third goal.

Lin Xiao's shot went too high.

"Bad ball!"

The runner on first base was eager to make his move.

Well done, Lin Xiao!

Someone in the stands shouted, trying to calm the pitcher down.

"The last ball!"

The fourth goal.

"call out!"

The carter's ball deviates to the outside corner.

Harada still did not make a move.

"Bad ball!"

Two good things and two bad things.

"Aim carefully at the ball and shoot! Aim carefully at the ball and shoot!"

"You can do it!"

"One more good pitch and we'll be in Koshien!"

Can Lin Hsiao on the mound successfully secure this final out?

The decisive fifth goal.

Just as Lin Xiao lifted his leg!

"They stole a base!"

The runner on first base suddenly started moving and rushed towards second base.

Miyuki's eyes remained completely unmoved.

"Go ahead and steal it if you want."

His attention was entirely focused on the hitter.

"Take care of him."

"Let's win this game."

Let's use this one ball.

Lin Xiao swung his arm with all his might.

"call out!"

"boom!"

Harada's pupils contracted sharply, and he unleashed his full power, slashing the ball with his bat as it whistled through the air.

"Get out of here!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball was grazed and flew towards the stands behind home plate.

"call…"

Harada, panting heavily, gripped his baseball bat tightly.

"Carlos, Yamaoka, Shirakawa, and Narimiya..."

"I know that everyone thinks that the main force of Inashiro this year is the second-year students."

"But..."

"We third-year students also have something to be proud of."

"They also have the pride of being a strong lineup."

The runner has reached second base, but it doesn't matter much now.

"From now on, it's a one-goal affair..."

The outcome hinges on this one goal.

Miyuki gave the secret signal.

A code never seen before.

Jetball!

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, his eyes sharp as knives.

Get rid of him.

"It's the last ball."

"call out!"

"boom!"

The ball approached home plate at incredible speed!

Harada, relying on his power hitter instincts, swung the bat with all his might!

"call!"

The ball and bat are crossed above home plate.

There was no crisp sound of the ball hitting the ground.

"Snapped!"

With a dull thud, the baseball seemed to be sucked in and plunged into Miyuki's open glove!

Everyone at Inashiro, including the players in the rest area and the supporters in the stands, was stunned.

Yoshizawa swung the bat but missed, losing his balance due to excessive force.

His face was filled with disbelief.

This type of ball trajectory...

This kind of tail force...

This card didn't appear until the very last round!

The ball is moving at an astonishing speed!

On Inashiri's side, no one could accept this reality.

Qingdao's ace, Lin Xiao, hadn't even revealed all his trump cards at the very last moment that would decide the outcome!

Can not accept!

They gave it their all and tried every possible method in the first eight innings, but they couldn't even take a single run from this rookie pitcher.

The referee's voice, like a final verdict, resounded throughout the stadium.

"Strikeout!"

Lin Xiao released all the pressure brought on by this match.

God knows how much pressure he carried after taking over the ace jersey number. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was the hope of the entire village.

"Aaaaaaaahh ...

The entire audience watched Lin Xiao's outburst.

All the players on Seido were looking at Lin Xiao on the pitcher's mound.

"Really? We won!!!"

In an instant, the entire audience appeared.

"Seido!!!"

"Lin Xiao!!!"

"Koshien!!!"

"We won!!!"

"Match over!!!"

"Ohhhhhhh!!!"

Inside Jingu Stadium, the blue sound waves belonging to Seido erupted like a tsunami, almost blowing the roof off the entire stadium!

"Lin Xiao!!!"

"marvelous!!!"

"Wuhu!!!"

Inside the rest area of ​​Seido High School, all the athletes rushed out, hugging, cheering, and shouting wildly!

The Seido cheerleading squad was in a frenzy.

The third-year students, such as Higashi Kiyokoku and Inoue, cheered excitedly.

"Well done!"

These younger students achieved the goals they hadn't been able to, and tears streamed down their faces uncontrollably.

The pitcher's mound was packed with people who lifted Lin Xiao up and tossed him into the air.

They won and entered the Koshien tournament.

Meanwhile...

Everyone in Inashi had their heads down, tears streaming down their faces.

Failure surrounded them.

Heartbroken and unwilling to accept it.

When they lined up, everyone in Seido raised their heads, while Inami kept his head down.

Referee: Salute!

The End.
