Chapter 139: Ambitious Youth

"Hit, it's OUT!!!"

"A two-run home run!!!"

"The total score is 3:0. Although the game isn't over yet, I still want to say it. The time left for Hokkaido's Komadai is running out..."

The fans in the stands, including the commentators of this game, were eager to express their thoughts.

It's not surprising that they would act this way.

Because they all understood the significance of this home run.

Two points!

Plus, the point that Sawamura previously scored.

The total score now becomes 3:0.

Now, as the game moves into its later stages, the chances of the players from the Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team recovering three points from Sawamura or even overtaking them are:

Almost zero.

Did they really think the name "Demon King" was just for show?

So far, in every game Sawamura has played in, where he was the main pitcher, the most points conceded by the Seidou High School Baseball Team has never exceeded three.

Although the players of the Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team performed well in this game.

It's clear they're still not quite capable of breaking the legend that Sawamura has created.

In simple terms, with the abilities of the Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team's players, they probably won't win.

Even though the game isn't over yet, Seidou High School's goal of dominating the nation and becoming a legend is about to be achieved.

As ardent supporters of the Seidou High School Baseball Team, the spectators had every reason to be happy.

Though the game was not over yet, their celebrations had already begun.

On the other side, the players of the Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team also sensed that their fate was sealed.

Watching that baseball fly into the outfield stands.

Looking at the glaring 3:0 on the huge

electronic scoreboard.

The players of Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team knew in their minds.

In the end, they lost.

Although Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team had undergone a complete transformation in the past two years, progressed rapidly.

Their progress still falls short when compared to the legendary Seidou High School Baseball Team.

The result in front of them proved this.

In this game, the players of Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team didn't hold back at all.

They showcased their strength perfectly, even unleashing performances beyond their peak capabilities.

If the players from Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team were to judge their own performance today, they'd probably give themselves a score of 90 or even higher.

But even so, the score was still 3:0.

Up until now, Hongou has only allowed three hits.

It's that Seidou High School Baseball Team's ability to score is too strong!

These three hits were all converted into runs.

Seidou High School Baseball Team was on the verge of victory.

Next up, Maezono, who stepped into the Batter's Box, also realized the game was as good as won.

He was extremely excited.

Though excited, he tried to suppress his emotions.

'It's far from over! The game's not done yet. Getting cocky now would be premature,' he repeatedly reminded himself not to be impulsive.

The more it came to such moments, the more he had to remain steady.

He raised his bat high in the air, his eyes locked firmly on the pitcher's mound.

"Come on, let me witness the terrifying pitches from Hokkaido again."

Having been bombarded by Sawamura and Miyuki earlier, and now conceding two more runs to make it 3:0, Komadai Fujimaki High School Baseball Team's last hope had been crushed.

He couldn't believe that, as the team's Ace, Hongou Masamune could remain unaffected by this.

How could that be?

No matter how terrifying Hongou's pitching was, at the end of the day, he was just a 16-year-old boy.

After making it to the finals, right at the moment of becoming National Champions.

He was being hit so hard.

Anyone in his shoes would find it hard to stay calm. At this moment, he must have been feeling confused inside.

Although it felt a bit like taking advantage of someone's misfortune.

Maezono was determined.

Whether for the team or his own personal benefit.

He couldn't back down at this moment.

Three runs seemed like a lot, but isn't that how baseball works?

In almost any sport, the more you score, the better it is for you.

The more runs you have, it seems insignificant at first glance.

But Seidou High School Baseball Team was about to become a legend.

If the score was close, it would hurt Seidou High School Baseball Team's reputation.

Three-time national champions.

Yet in the finals, only winning by two or three runs?

Even if Seidou wins, it would still feel like they got lucky.

Maezono hoped to explode in the final moments. Even if he couldn't completely crush the opponent, he wanted to widen the score gap.

This was about the team's interest and his personal interest.

In this critical moment, if he could get a hit, the scouts in the stands would view him differently.

Maezono was still ambitious.

Although his overall strength in the current Seidou High School Baseball Team didn't even make the top five.

As a member of the Seidou High School Baseball Team, he was always working hard.

By now, baseball had become part of his life, and Maezono felt he couldn't live without it.

What if he couldn't live without baseball?

Maezono wasn't a fool. He knew that if he couldn't leave baseball, his only option was to make a living from it.

The simplest way was, of course, to become a coach.

Although this career wasn't high-paying, it was still an option.

But Maezono could handle playing well.

Once it came to tactics, with his limited knowledge, he couldn't teach players.

In short, he wasn't suited to be a coach.

In this case, the only way to continue playing baseball was:

Joining professional baseball!

Only by joining the pros would he have a chance to keep going and create miracles.

Although Maezono had far more exposure than most players on the Seidou High School Baseball Team.

Still, it came with a downside.

Because it was the Seidou High School Baseball Team, and the team was so full of talented players, even without considering monsters like Sawamura and Miyuki (the nation's top catcher).

There were still players like Kuramochi, Kominato, Shiratsu, and Toujou...

A group of highly talented players.

Even compared to these players, Maezono had no real advantage.

The team had too many excellent players. Would the professional scouts even notice him?

He had no confidence in this.

That's exactly why Maezono wanted to show off.

To grab the attention of the pro scouts in the stands.
