One Out, one at first base.
The Catcher of Osaka Kiryuu's face was ugly.
Although Seidou's first batter was solved with one ball.
But with this second Batter, the number of wasted balls is too much! He alone can consume the number of pitches for an inning. Moreover, the final result was that he won, and took the four Balls Walk.
Not to mention anything else, Kominato Ryosuke alone, no matter whether he can score or not, can consume a huge number of pitches by pitchers!
'It's a big problem! And the more the game drags on, the bigger it gets.'
'In this case, the number of balls must also be controlled to a minimum!'
Osaka Kiryuu's catcher is still quite good, he quickly sorted out his thoughts and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
In the face of Isashiki Jun, the third Batter, he let Tachi throw a fishing ball.
The so-called fishing ball is a course that deliberately lures the batter to swing.
Isashiki Jun swings the bat actively, and there is no reason to let it go in the face of easy-to-hit balls.
Ping!
The ball was hit, and Osaka Kiryuu's Catcher felt a joy in his heart.
'You've been fooled~'
It's just that the ball didn't fall to the left as he wished, but fell to the right.
In this way, Ryosuke was given a chance, and he took the opportunity to go to second base.
Seidou's rest area.
Miyuki ran to the front of Maezono to annoy him.
"Seeing this, even if the ball was not hit well, Jun-san can hit the ball to the right to give the runner a chance. The gap between you and the senpai is this."
"I don't need you to tell me."
Maezono first roared at Miyuki, then clenched his fist unwillingly.
'This guy is so annoying, he never cares about other people's feelings when he taunts.'
Two Out, runner at second base.
"Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."
At this time, it was Tetsuya's turn to play.
"A good chance to score, Tetsu, don't hold back."
"Hit the ball out with a big swing!"
Seeing Yuuki Tetsuya come on stage, the atmosphere of Seidou High School suddenly changed.
This subtle change did not escape the eyes of Osaka Kiryuu's superintendent, Takahiro Matsumoto.
'This Batter in the strike zone seems to be trusted by everyone~'
Standing on the strike zone with a calm bearing, a pair of eyes firmly locked at Tachi on the pitcher's mound.
'Bring it on!'
This momentum made Osaka Kiryuu's Catcher and Tachi Hiromi feel different. It's just that they won't back down because their opponents are imposing.
'You got it!'
The expression on Tachi's face was solemn and hard.
Whoosh!
The white ball, like a laser light, flew above the home plate.
On the strike zone, Yuuki Tetsuya waited until the ball was completely in his hand before he started swinging.
Ping!
The bat swung, and the little white ball, like a shooting star, crossed the field and hit the wall in left field.
Well-timed hits to the wall!
Ryosuke was sent back to home plate, and Seidou High School recovered a point.
The total score became 3:1.
"Oooooooooooo!!!"
"Appeared, a well-timed hit to the wall."
"As expected of the Captain."
Seidou's originally depressing mode was instantly revived.
This sharp swing shocked Matsumoto.
"This guy is very powerful! You can't face him head-to-head."
He simply gave up the instruction, letting the catcher and Tachi give up dueling Tetsuya again.
We can't beat you, we admit it, okay?
There's no shame in avoiding a fight with a certain batter on the baseball field.
As long as the situation is favorable, everything is worth it.
Ping!
After Tetsu hits, Masuko hits a slow high-flying ball just above the pitcher and is caught.
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
"What an amazing lineup!"
Matsumoto Takahiro has lingering fears about Seidou's lineup.
Although the rookie pitcher's performance was average, Seidou's lineup was different. They were really strong and took points before anyone could react.
'But that's fine too!'
With the experience of playing against Seidou, Osaka Kiryuu can realize their own shortcomings. After returning to school, what awaits them will be training in hell.
Koshien.
Seidou is eager, and Osaka Kiryuu, who has already entered before, is just as eager.
In the first half of the second inning, Osaka Kiryuu attacked.
Exactly the same routine, by choosing the four Balls Walk, Osaka Kiryuu's lineup rotated once again, and then it was the fourth batter turn again.
The score gap has also expanded to 6 points, and the total score is 7:1!
One Out, runner at first and third base.
It's the fourth batter's turn, the Pitcher, Tachi Hiromi.
Seidou's rest area.
Chris shook his head.
"The people from Osaka Kiryuu have clearly aimed at Furuya's four Ball, and they definitely won't swing before two strikes."
If this goes on, it will be a matter of time before Furuya collapses.
Kataoka said nothing.
On the pitcher's mound, looking at Miyuki's sign, Furuya did not respond.
He didn't nod or shake his head.
Miyuki was shocked, could it be that Furuya had collapsed?
"Time!"
He hurriedly called a timeout and ran up to the mound.
"What should I do so that I don't lose points, Miyuki-senpai?"
Miyuki ran up to the pitcher's mound and heard Furuya ask him softly.
Um?
Miyuki looked at Furuya again and saw that Furuya's eyes were still full of fighting spirit.
'He's not at his limit yet, he still wants to keep playing.'
Although his attitude is still prideful when he asks for a suggestion. There was no intention of handing the pitcher mound to Sawamura.
Don't give the mound to anyone!
'hee hee~'
Miyuki was very happy. He had to admit that even though there were obstacles like Sawamura in front of him, Furuya was not without a chance to fight back.
'Furuya really has the potential to become an Ace.'
Not only his talent but also his mindset is so powerful that it can make people helpless.
'Well, he is obviously still a newbie…'
"Listen, the total number of hits you have lost is only five. Four Balls are mainly the reason why you lost seven points. Even so, you know the Captain, Ryo-san, and the others, why didn't they have any complaints?"
Furuya looked at Miyuki puzzled.
Miyuki continued: "Because they all trust you!"
'They all believe in you!'
These words brought infinite power to Furuya.
Of course, Miyuki wouldn't tell Furuya, this was what he discussed with the seniors yesterday. The purpose is to drive Furuya into a corner.
"If you want to ask me for advice, I can only tell you. The Senpais believe in you, so please believe in them. It's not only the pitcher's job to deal with batters."
Miyuki's words made Furuya's heart shake, and at the same time, he couldn't help recalling the advice Sawamura gave him.
-"You and I are in different situations. The methods that apply to me may not be useful to you. If I were you, I would choose to trust these Senpais behind me!"-
Trust!
-"You're annoying~ we don't want to play baseball with you anymore!"-
-"What nonsense, how can you play in such weather?"-
-"Go, just play by yourself!"-
***
In Furuya's memory, it seems that he has always been alone.
It's different now!
Now, he has companions.
Furuya Satoru's eyes became firm.
"Next, just look at my Mitt and throw the ball well." Miyuki said with a smile.
The next inning has to be taken seriously.
