Chapter 80: Golden Home Run!

Seeing Huangqian Yangyi's focused expression, the Omori Catcher felt immense pressure; after a brainstorm, he made a decision—a cutter was the safer bet. In all the data and footage he had seen regarding Huangqian Yangyi, he had never seen him hit a cutter.

Moreover, none of the Seido pitchers seemed capable of throwing a cutter.

Such an inference might be presumptuous, even foolish, but it was the only option at the moment; he couldn't just throw a Fastball, could he?

After signaling the sign, Dayan Xiang on the Pitcher's Mound was also incredibly nervous.

Bases loaded, one out—when had he ever experienced such a test?

Huangqian Yangyi, who had been observing Dayan Xiang, frowned slightly upon seeing the expression on the other's face. Is this... falling apart before even batting?

Heaven helps me!

Since that's the case, then I won't be polite.

Huangqian Yangyi waited quietly for the baseball to fly over, his entire presence climbing to a peak at this moment; his stance, as steady as Mount Tai, made everyone from Seido subconsciously glance at Yuki Tetsuya.

Just then, Dayan Xiang, having struggled for a long while, narrowed his eyes, raised his right arm high, and used all his strength to throw this pitch.

In the Batter's Box, Huangqian Yangyi's pupils dilated slightly; the next instant, starting from his feet, he took a step forward, driving his whole body to swing the bat in his hands.

Boom!

The bat tore through the air, sweeping past the corner of the Catcher's eye with the force of a thunderbolt.

Bang!

This cutter, lacking quality due to nervousness, had just entered the Home Plate area and hadn't even had time to move laterally before being smashed by Huangqian Yangyi's thick and long black bat.

On the Pitcher's Mound, the right leg Dayan Xiang had lifted after throwing the ball hadn't even touched the ground yet, and the baseball had already flown over his head, heading straight for the Right Fielder spectator stands.

At the same time, the three runners on base started simultaneously; although they hoped for Huangqian Yangyi to blast a Home Run, hope is one thing, but they couldn't delay when it was time to run the bases.

In the spectator stands, everyone let out exclamations, their eyes following the small white ball in the air; some hoped for a Home Run, while others hoped for it to fall.

Only Huangqian Yangyi, who had hit the ball, threw away his bat and began to run the bases leisurely; for a Batter, the moment they hit the ball, they have a sense of where it will fly, how high, and how far.

This ball is 100% out!

"It's out!!"

"Home Run!!"

"Woo-oh!!"

The baseball landed in the Seido student group in the stands.

A tsunami-like roar erupted, and the entire stadium was submerged in this deafening cheer.

This ball was no ordinary Home Run.

This was a Grand Slam! Also known as a Golden Home Run!

How many players spend their whole lives without necessarily hitting a single Golden Home Run? This requires not only a Batter with solid strength but also the right time, place, and people.

Not to mention anyone far away, just take Seido's Dong Qingguo.

Counting from the time he entered Seido and officially became a First String player to participate in games, in the twenty-plus official games to date, he had blasted thirty-plus, nearly forty Home Runs, averaging more than one Home Run per game; however, among such fierce results, not one was a Golden Home Run.

Huangqian Yangyi wore a smile, raised both hands high to wave toward the Third Base side, slowly ran past First Base, Second Base, Third Base, and finally stepped on Home Plate—a Golden Home Run, taking four runs in one go!

"This kid, really, he's just too capable."

"When an opportunity appears, he never lets it go; that's his consistent style."

"For the sake of this ball, I won't pursue the matter of the Akita dog."

"Look, he's even waving!"

"Getting carried away, I'm so envious!"

Watching the seniors complaining or praising on the side, Miyuki smiled and cast his gaze onto Huangqian Yangyi on the field; hmm, worthy of being my partner.

On the field, after returning to Home Plate, Huangqian Yangyi high-fived the three seniors one by one, and the four of them ran back to the Dugout side by side.

Just as they stepped into the Dugout, teammates immediately surrounded them, and his head was instantly rubbed by several large hands all at once.

"Good kid, you really saved face for us."

"Beautiful hit!"

"Worthy of being my junior."

"Wuga!"

The team members surrounded Huangqian Yangyi to celebrate, and the four Seido giants on the side also watched with different expressions.

Chris watched quietly with a gentle smile on his face.

Department Head Ota stretched out his hands, his lips trembling, wanting to come over and say some congratulatory words to Huangqian Yangyi.

Takashima Rei pushed her glasses as usual, the corners of her mouth curling up, her lenses covered by a mysterious white light.

"Huangqian!"

Director Kataoka suddenly spoke up; the rowdy crowd stopped immediately. Huangqian Yangyi stood straight, facing Director Kataoka. Director Kataoka was expressionless, and just as the atmosphere gradually solidified, Director Kataoka revealed a smile and, for the first time ever, gave Huangqian Yangyi a thumbs-up.

"Keep up the good work."

"Yes! Boss!"

Director Kataoka nodded with satisfaction, "Go get some rest now."

At this time, the game on the field was still continuing; Zhitian Jiangtai, who came up to bat, was Flyout, followed by Kominato Ryosuke, who, after two Strikes, stubbornly tangled with the opponent for several pitches, almost driving Dayan Xiang crazy.

Must not let him get on base!

The Omori battery both knew that once Kominato Ryosuke got on base, they would have to face Seido's third batter, which would be even more dangerous.

Bang!

This time, Kominato Ryosuke hit the ball into the field; the baseball flew between First and Second Base but couldn't get through and was caught in a glove.

The Catcher and Dayan Xiang looked at each other and simultaneously let out a long, heavy sigh; they were nervous to death.

With this, the third inning ended, the score on the field was 9:0, Seido leading.

"Nanjo!"

"Here." Nanjo Taishi stepped forward.

"I'll leave the rest to you, no problem?" Director Kataoka said.

"No problem." Nanjo Taishi said with a smile; Seido was already leading by 9 runs, so he was going on the field to end the game early, and he would absolutely not give up any runs!

Then, Director Kataoka looked at Miyuki in the crowd, "Miyuki, it's your turn to take the field."

"I've been ready for a long time." Miyuki walked out with a smile; having watched Huangqian Yangyi in high spirits on the field for the first three innings, he had been itching to play for a while.

Next, Director Kataoka substituted out Shortstop Zhitian Jiangtai, and Kuramochi Yoichi received a precious opportunity to play.

The game reached the fourth inning, and Seido immediately swapped out the Pitcher, Catcher, and Shortstop simultaneously; the audience was particularly dissatisfied that the ace, who had just hit a Golden Home Run, was taken off the field.

"Are we being shunned?" Nanjo Taishi joked.

Miyuki covered his mouth with his glove and chuckled twice, "Senior, if you give up runs later, it won't be as simple as just being shunned."

Nanjo Taishi frowned upon hearing this, then smiled helplessly: "You guy, have you always talked like this?"

How have you managed to live this long without being beaten to death?

"Hehehe."

Miyuki smiled and stopped replying.
