In the semifinals of the Kanto Tournament, Seidou High School played against Kakureru High School.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
Right now, it was the turn of the second Batter Kominato Ryosuke in Seidou High School's lineup.
Ping!
"FOUL!"
Ping!
"FOUL!"
The ball, one after another, was hit and flew out of bounds.
The catcher of Kakureru High School looked desperately at the Batter who was not very tall in the strike zone, and an endless chill rose on his back.
As a national-level strong team, the players of Kakureru High School are very confident in the strength of their own Ace.
Especially as his Catcher, he knows the Pitcher's strength well. Although Kakureru High School's pitchers are not the kind of super strong pitchers that boost morale with just one Pitch. But as the Ace of the team, he is very strong no matter which aspect he is.
For the simplest example, if he was to fight against batters from their own team. No one can easily hit all the balls flying out of bounds in a row.
So far, they have been entangled for a full 13 balls.
Two Strikes, three Balls, and eight are Fouls!
Just look at the ball count, and you can imagine the pitcher's depression without even having to see anything.
Whoosh!
The 14th ball came, but Ryosuke didn't swing.
The Catcher at Kakureru High School breathed a sigh of relief that it was finally over!
He hasn't had a Ball since the full count, and since Kominato didn't swing this one, he's going to get a strikeout.
SNAP!
The baseball burrowed into the Catcher's open glove, and at the same time, an invisible punch hit him in the face.
"BALL FOUR!"
"Walk to base."
Since the full Count, the Catcher has not assigned a Ball, but this does not mean that the pitcher can throw all the balls into the strike zone.
Like now, after a few Strikes, the pitcher's pitch was off the strike zone. Kominato didn't let go of the pitcher's mistake, calmly watched the ball, and picked four Balls to hit the base.
"I am really lucky!"
Throwing away the bat in his hand, Ryosuke ran unhurriedly towards first base. While running, he was still muttering that his luck was not bad.
For the Catcher of Kakureru High School, Ryosuke's words are like a punch in the face.
'What he said was definitely intentional, what good luck! You have carefully entangled with so many balls, can you still call it good luck?'
Kominato Ryosuke, alone, entangled the pitcher with 14 balls!
Now the game is in the fifth inning. And this is the beginning of the fifth inning. So far, they have not scored any outs.
This also means that although the game is in the fifth inning, they still have four innings to continue Pitching.
And now, the number of pitches by the pitcher has passed eighty!
The game was barely halfway through, and the number of pitches was already close to a hundred. As to be imagined, their Ace can't last until the end of this game.
Seidou High School!
As a prestigious and Famous School in the Nation, Kakureru High School has studied the strengths of Seidou High School. Judging from the results of their own research, Seidou High School's strength is at most similar to theirs.
Then, the outcome of the game depends on who has the better performance.
Even after the super rookie Sawamura Eijun joined Seidou High School, and the overall strength has improved. they may be a little stronger than them, but they should not be too strong.
Before the game, they had been thinking so. Who knew when the real game starts, they will realize how naive they are.
Four innings, 3:0!
This is the gap between Kakureru High School and Seidou High School right now.
Right now, some people may want to say, but it is only three points. It is not that no one catches up in the second half of the game, and Kakureru High School does not need to be discouraged.
In fact, the players of Kakureru High School thought so too. Just three points behind, they also think they should be able to catch up soon.
But in fact, when they really fought against Seidou, they knew how difficult it was to recover the score from Seidou High School.
Before you can get accustomed to the pitcher, the pitcher has already been replaced. Whether it is the first pitcher or the new pitcher, their performance is very dazzling and stable.
The most terrifying thing is that Sawamura, who had been dreaded by them, has not yet climbed the pitching mound!
It was not Sawamura who suppressed them so embarrassingly, but the old and original Seidou High School!
"These players are really Coached by Kataoka, and they are trained well!"
Looking at the powerful Seidou, many reporters were amazed.
Even the Demon-King Sawamura and that rookie who could throw a Flaming Fastball didn't get on the pitching mound. Seidou also showed a very extraordinary strength!
Kominato Ryosuke went to base with four Balls, and Isashiki Jun walked him to second base.
One Out, runner at second base!
This time it was the turn of the Fourth Batter Yuuki Tetsuya.
In the face of the powerful fourth Batter, Kakureru High School did want to walk him, but once they walked Yuuki, they had to face Sawamura when there are runners at first and second base.
They can't walk Sawamura too, can they?
Four or five walks in a row, this game, let alone the victory or defeat, their reputation will be lost!
The most terrifying thing is that even if they loses their pride, Seidou's attack will not stop.
The sixth and seventh Batters of Seidou High School were also very difficult to deal with. In the case of full bases, it is not ideal to fight them to the death.
At this time, the Catcher of Kakureru High School had a deeper understanding of the horror of Seidou High School's lineup.
Horrifying!
A careless move is likely to be the result of doom.
At this time, the walk of Yuuki Tetsuya will only make the path they can walk narrower and narrower. Instead of slowly pushing yourself into a corner, it's better to fight here.
But in an instant, the Catcher analyzed everything and decided to go head-to-head with the Captain!
Ping!
The dreams are incomparably beautiful, but the reality is full of cruelty. Yuuki Tetsuya hit a well-timed long hit getting a double base and sent Kominato home.
Seidou scored the fourth Run!
After that, Sawamura hit a base.
One Out, runner at first and third base!
Masuko hit a high ball to the outfield, and Tetsuya took the chance. When the ball fell into the outfielder's glove, he flew directly to home plate.
"Safe!"
Seidou scored the fifth point!
In the first half of the fifth inning, Seidou High School's offense ended, extending the lead to five points.
The bottom half of the fifth inning.
Kakureru High School attack.
Lower lineup Batters got a hit. After hitting the hit, Kakureru High School did not rush ahead, but calmly walked the Batter back.
Five innings are over, and the score is 5:1!
Seidou High School is in the lead by four points.
