The total score was 2:0.
One Out, full base.
The scene fell into an extremely awkward atmosphere.
While ball control failure is not an uncommon occurrence on the baseball field.
However, there are not many pitchers like Furuya, who can send batters to bases until it is full, and then push them back to home plate…
At this time, Furuya stood on the pitcher mound, like a lonely and helpless child.
This pitiful appearance made Seidou alumni who was annoyed, couldn't bear to criticize him.
No matter how reasonable their demands are, Furuya Satoru is only a first-year pitcher after all, and it is too embarrassing to expect him to play as stable as Sawamura.
They also know that getting Sawamura on the team is already very valuable, and talent like Furuya is also one of a thousand!
At this time, they really shouldn't complain anymore.
However, as a supporter of Seidou High School, watching the team they support being beaten like that, they are also holding back the fire in their stomach, okay?
"I thought there would be a wonderful showdown with Osaka Kiryuu, but I didn't expect it to be a practice to hone newcomers. I don't want to watch Seidou High School get slaughtered."
An alumni couldn't help but turn around and leave.
"Don't worry, Sawamura hasn't gotten on the pitching mound yet."
"Look at the guy in the outfield now!"
Following the alumni's fingers, he saw a tired figure standing in the left field.
Not running, not moving~
Ordinarily, there shouldn't be anything to see, but it's very strange. Everyone who looks at that person knows that he is very tired.
"The hell Camp had just ended. Looking at this look, you can see how badly Sawamura has practiced. Even if he is replaced right, what can he do?"
The alumni said that, but still stayed.
Deep down in his heart, he may still be looking forward to the performance of Seidou High School.
Rest area in Osaka Kiryuu.
Matsumoto, the Coach of Osaka Kiryuu, also noticed the dilemma of Furuya.
"It's really cruel, Coach Kataoka."
It is absolutely impossible for a pitcher who has not experienced a setback to hone his resolve.
This may be a bit one-sided.
But in fact, most things in this world are like that.
The world's top entrepreneurs can't say all, but most of them have fallen into desperation and failed in the process of starting a business.
On the field, the same is true.
There has never been a player who has been invincible since childhood.
Most of them have encountered opponents, experienced setbacks, and then got back on their feet.
This is something on a psychological level and nothing you can do to stop it.
On the baseball field, there has been such a situation. Pitchers are nervous about pitching because they are afraid of pitching badly, and they deliberately throw badly on the first pitch or the first two pitches.
Then they hypnotize themselves. When they start pitching thinking, they can't be any worse than before, right?
Regardless, there is no solid scientific basis for this.
But in fact, very effective!
Therefore, Coach Matsumoto understands Kataoka's plan and practices very well.
If Furuya can stand up again from this kind of setback, he will inevitably become stronger.
However, people are often not as strong as everyone thinks. There are many entrepreneurs who have experienced failure, but how many of them stood up again?
Not all people are born with the strong-hearted courage to move forward.
At this time, you need the encouragement and comfort of your peers.
But Seidou seems to be different. Looking at Furuya who was in trouble, no one took the initiative to help him.
"What a pity!"
Facing such a helpless fifteen-year-old boy, Matsumoto felt that he couldn't bear to hurt him.
"Continue to hit him with four Balls and never swing before two Strikes."
With a face full of compassion, when he gave his orders to destroy the boy, he was very decisive.
This is the sly fox, Takahiro Matsumoto.
"BALL!"
"BALL!"
"Walk to base!"
The exact same strategy, simple and effective.
Furuya Satoru put another runner on the home plate.
At this time, you don't have to talk about ball control or the speed of the ball.
Furuya's ball could not be thrown into the strike zone at all.
One Out, the bases are full and three points are lost.
Suddenly Furuya slowed down his rhythm.
He also knew that the more anxious he was, the worse it would be. Now, the most important thing was to throw the ball into the strike zone.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
Two Strikes in a row.
On the third ball, the batter of Osaka Kiryuu swung the bat.
Ping!
After the white baseball was hit, it flew directly to Furuya.
This is a grounder in front of the pitcher.
Seeing this Pitch, the batter cried out in his heart!
Almost 80 to 90 percent of this kind of ball will be directly picked up by the pitcher.
Furuya subconsciously stretched out his Mitt, but his Mitt was too far from the baseball, a full twenty centimeters away.
Furuya watched the baseball helplessly fly away from him, and was about to land.
Behind the pitcher, there is an open space for defense.
The ball hits the ground, enough for a runner on third or second base to run back to home plate.
'It's over, Osaka Kiryuu's line-up can't be stopped at all.'
Three points have been lost, and now a fourth or even a fifth is imminent.
There was such a big score difference in the first inning, and after that, even if the Players of Seidou High School wanted to chase the score, it would be hard.
Seeing this scene, everyone who supported Seidou High School had a bit of despair in their eyes.
On the other hand, there was wolfs in the eyes of Osaka Kiryuu's players.
They are like beasts that smell meat.
Before the expressions in the eyes of both sides dissipated, a figure flew out like wind.
Just before the baseball was about to hit the ground, he stretched out his Mitt and caught the ball.
Caught and Out!
Kominato Ryosuke had fallen, and it would take more than two seconds for him to get up and pass the ball to home plate.
While he was on the ground, there was a chance for the third-base runner to return to home plate.
The runner at third base, after struggling for a bit in his mind, finally he clenched his teeth and rushed to the home plate.
"Back home!"
Miyuki didn't relax, monitoring the third base runner and seeing him move, he didn't say anything at first.
It wasn't until he ran seven or eight meters that he reminded Kominato Ryosuke to pass the ball back.
Kominato Ryosuke didn't see any movement from third base, but he squatted on the ground and passed the ball to home plate.
SNAP!
When Miyuki received the ball, the runner was five or six meters away from him.
"OUT!"
Without any suspense, the runner is out.
Double play!!!
"Damn, what was that?"
"The second baseman ran to catch the ball? And he caught it."
"The runners in Osaka Kiryuu, are probably crying. Their luck is too bad!"
Sawamura just heard this statement and secretly pouted.
Luck?
Yeah, So much luck in baseball.
