Seidou High School Vs Yakushi High School game.
Now in the first half of the third inning, Yakushi High School attacked.
The situation is two Outs and, a runner at second base!
It was Mishima's turn at bat right now, and Mishima, who stood on the strike zone, came while making some exaggerated movements trying to look cool like he was the star of the game and everyone else was a side character.
His teammates looked away in embarrassment and their opponent on the field looked at Mishima with a stupefied and irritated look.
"Is this guy crazy?"
In the center field, Isashiki didn't know what to think of this but he was definitely pissed off.
"I will find a chance and teach him a good lesson."
In the next round of offense, if Mishima is still the pitcher, Isashiki has already made up his mind to beat this guy well and let him know how high is the sky.
The game continues.
The opponent is Mishima, and Miyuki is also a bit pissed but he has a game to play and he was also feeling uneasy from the previous batter.
He even gave Furuya the first Pitch with a Straight ball high in the middle, which is the one that Akiba hit just now.
There's no better way to know if it's a coincidence than to try it.
Now that Seidou is ahead by a large score, as long as he knows in advance that there is a problem there, and he can correct it in time before it is too late.
Miyuki had this plan in mind and let Furuya Pitch.
Of course, he won't really announce that he asked for the same ball as last time, this time he raised his Mitt a little higher.
Then the one that Akiba hit before, Two balls high. If Furuya Satoru doesn't miss the ball, the ball will be a foul.
"Bring it!"
Seeing Miyuki's Mitt, it seemed like something was ignited within Furuya's body.
He himself didn't accept his loss, he would still dare to Pitch even if Akiba hit it.
Roaar!!
The Pitch, which seemed to roar, came out of Furuya's hand and flew straight to Miyuki's Mitt.
Boom!
"STRIKE!"
In this Pitch, Furuya made a bit of a mistake in control of the ball. He didn't throw it to the designated position exactly as Miyuki asked, and it didn't turn into a Ball.
But the result is ideal.
Mishima didn't react at all to this ball.
Miyuki was relieved, Akiba's hit should be a hit lucky and he swung his bat randomly.
On the strike zone, Mishima turned his head in disbelief and complained to the referee.
"I wasn't ready just now?"
Hearing what Mishima said, everyone was dumbfounded.
Miyuki looked at him stupidly. You stood on the Box and raised the bat. How can you be not ready?
'Are you an idiot?'
The referee was also stunned, and he deliberately waited for a few seconds, why was this guy not ready?
The referee rolled his eyes and ignored Mishima.
Yakushi's rest area.
"Don't bring us any more embarrassment."
"Just swing your goddamn bat!"
"If you don't, I'll change with you."
When he heard the 'cheers' of the seniors in the rest area, Mishima just closed his mouth!
He was being honest, he was really not ready.
Yakushi regarded Mishima's humiliating behavior as a joke.
Miyuki didn't think it was that simple. He thought that Mishima was deliberately disrupting the rhythm of Furuya and confusing his own judgment.
After all, Furuya's Straight ball above the center is the best Pitch.
By doing this, Mishima may be confusing him not to allow him to call this kind of course from Furuya.
Sometimes, smart people just think more simply.
Mishima's argument has really affected Miyuki's judgment.
He called a Straight ball above the center three balls in a row.
Roaar!!
The white ball came flying, and Mishima didn't think much about it, just hit it when it came.
'Aim for the two balls above the Straight and swing!'
Ping!
The small white ball was hit, passed through the defense in the infield, and flew to the outfield.
By the time Sawamura picked up the ball, the situation had turned into two Outs, with someone on first and third base.
Mishima's hit succeeded, and Akiba also advanced to third base.
This situation made all Seidou players and Coaches have a heavy look.
Once is a coincidence, twice cannot be explained as a coincidence.
The other party really found a way to break Furuya.
Seidou's rest area.
Coach Ochiai stroked his goatee and calmly analyzed: "The Coach on the other side is worthy of being a professional. He has thoroughly studied Furuya's Fastballs."
Kataoka nodded: "Not only that, just knowing the trick is not enough to easily hit the ball of Furuya. To be able to do this, it shows that the opponent really has skills."
By now, Kataoka knew that he had made a subjective mistake.
He underestimated Yakushi after having a big lead!
After all, the opponent was the team that had defeated the Sankou High School, even though the Sankou High School might have been caught off guard.
But no matter what, Yakushi won Sankou High School.
"Don't be careless!"
But why are they aiming at the two balls above the center when hitting Furuya's ball?
This has to say, why did other people often miss the ball that Furuya threw before?
The secret is in the ball!
Furuya Satoru's pitch is fast, and naturally more spin is applied to the ball. The power of the spin resists the gravity of the earth, so Furuya's Straight ball will float up with its speed and air resistance.
The ball seems to be very low at first, but near the strike zone, it will suddenly rise.
This is the reason why so many good batters can't hit Furuya's pitch.
And Todoroki Raizou, who was still playing baseball until the age of 40, obviously knew the reason, so he ordered his students to aim at the two balls above the Straight ball when dealing with Furuya.
This is why Akiba and Mishima can hit consecutive hits.
And this, Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, already understood this after he suffered a loss.
He glanced at the rest area. In the rest area, Kataoka did not give any instructions.
It seems that he doesn't want to replace Furuya and increase the mess right now.
Yes, he really can't be replaced now. If there is a replacement, Furuya will be useless…
Moreover, the ability of the substitute has to be enough to turn the tide. And if he was defeated by Raichi, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
At most, the game will be played a few more innings, and Coach Kataoka will not take risks right now.
"Next, you can only survive on your own!"
'Forget about the ball speed and power, rely on the defense to get the last Out!'
'Throw the ball exactly where my Mitt is.'
Miyuki gave Furuya a sign!
On the pitcher's mound, Furuya Satoru's head was still stunned.
He really didn't understand how his favorite ball could be hit continuously.
Impossible?
Negating reality over and over again in his heart, Furuya was completely immersed in his own world.
Even Miyuki didn't notice this.
Furuya Satoru always has a cold face, you can't see what he thinks from his expressions and actions.
"Third Batter, third baseman, Todoroki-kun!"
And right now, Raichi took the strike zone.
Miyuki put on his Mitt and motioned to Furuya to throw the ball over.
'Come on, trust the fielders behind you, they'll stop the ball.'
'Throw the ball right here!'
On the mound, the power on Furuya's body is getting higher and higher!
'Not yet, but faster! stronger!!!'
Roaar!!
After squeezing out the last bit of strength in his body, Furuya went all Out and threw a ball.
The ball is on the high side!
On the strike zone, Raichi's eyes seemed to emit a scarlet light.
'Here we Go!'
'It looks so low! so low!'
'Then, suddenly, the ball flew up.'
'Amazing!'
With admiration in his heart, the bat in the hands of Raichi is not slow at all.
BUZZZ!!!
PAANG!!
As if the wind was whistling, the bat hit the white ball with precision, and then the ball flew far away.
"O-Out Of THE PARK!!!!"
