The Batter is Isashiki Jun, and the second base runner is Yuuki Tetsuya.
From the perspective of the situation, the hope that Seidou High School can progress smoothly is very high.
In the dugout, Coach Kataoka was also unwilling to be still and gave signs to the players on the field.
Trouble!
The players of Inajitsu realized that they were in big trouble.
In this Pitching Duel, once Seidou High School scored additional points, it would be more difficult for them to turn things around.
"Time!"
In the position of the catcher, Harada decisively called a timeout.
Right now, they must discuss tactics.
The infielders of Inajitsu all gathered on the pitcher's mound.
"What?"
Narumiya Mei looked unhappy.
Although the situation is not optimistic, Narumiya doesn't care.
"We can't lose any more points! Even if it's an adventure, I can't let the runners of Seidou return to home plate."
Harada ignored Narumiya's attitude and said plainly.
"Rest assured, I'm not going to let anyone from Seidou get back to home plate. I'll Strikeout all the batters that follow."
Anyone who knew him knew that the prince was angry by looking at his expression.
Harada looked at Mei without saying a word, until he calmed down.
"Mei, this is our last year!"
'Um?'
Narumiya looked at Harada in surprise.
'Now, why did Masa-san suddenly say this?'
Harada didn't wait for Mei to answer and continued: "Although you are very worrying, I am grateful to be your partner. In the last year, let us play a game without regrets."
The tactics were not made, and Harada returned to the position of the catcher, and the infielders were in their respective positions.
Narumiya's face became more and more strange.
'Yes, Masa-san and the other are already in the third grade. After this summer competition, they will retire.'
'A no-regret game!'
'What the hell are you talking about, it feels like you're going to lose.'
He looked up at the scoreboard on the field.
1:0!
Up to now, other than putting pressure, Inajitsu has not caused any substantial threat or challenge to Seidou's Ace.
On the contrary, Seidou High School's lineup is getting smoother and smoother.
The hit by Tetsu-san was really unexpected.
But despite the unfavorable situation, even with no substantial damage has been caused to Eijun so far.
Narumiya never thought that Inajitsu would lose in this game.
Not once!
'We will win, idiots!'
With a roar in his heart, Narumiya Mei concentrated all the strength in his body on the fingertips and then threw the baseball in his hand fiercely.
Roaar!!
The white ball made a harsh roar and rushed to the top of the home plate.
So fast!
Isashiki Jun on the strike zone felt that his breathing going rapid.
No matter how many times he watched it, he had to admit that this fellow Narumiya was simply a monster!
'But aren't we originally the warriors who are slaying dragons?'
Ping!
Although Narumiya threw the ball quickly, Isashiki still swung the ball without flinching.
After the white ball was hit, it landed in the infield.
Isashiki ran non-stop to first base.
One step ahead of him, Yuuki ran to third base when Narumiya opened his stance and pitched the ball.
"Good Hit!"
"Let's go!!"
Looking at the flying baseballs, cheers could be heard from the rest area of Seidou High School.
"Stop dreaming!"
Someone rushed out from nowhere, tenaciously holding the baseball in his Mitt.
After catching the ball, he threw the ball to first base without stopping.
It was too late for third base because Yuuki acted in advance, and by the time the figure caught the ball, Yuuki was already approaching third base.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
There is no suspense, Isashiki is Out.
The one who stopped the ball was the shortstop Shirakawa.
On the Press Box, Akiko exclaimed: "The defense of Inajitsu is so strong!"
Beside her, Fujio couldn't help rolling his eyes.
'Sure enough, she still didn't understand.'
'The really powerful one is obviously Seidou, okay?'
In the position of the catcher, Harada's face was ugly.
Isashiki actually forcibly made contact with Mei's inner corner Ball and hit it into a grounder?
Hit and run!
This tactic is too decisive.
Once someone is on the base, Seidou High School's attack power will skyrocket.
Incredible!
One Out, runner at third base!
Although Isashiki was Out, he completed the tactical arrangement of Superintendent Kataoka beautifully.
Seidou High School is one step closer to expanding the score.
"Sixth Batter, third baseman, Masuko-kun."
Right now, Masuko went to the strike zone.
"Masuko!"
"Come on!"
"It's all on you!!!"
"Smash it out!!!!"
Seidou supporters in the stands and In the dugout, Continued to give Masuko, all kinds of cheering.
In fact, the strategy Masuko was going to adopt was already told to him by Coach Kataoka when he was in the rest area.
The reason why the players of Seidou High School are so active now is that they just want to disrupt Inajitsu's Battery.
In the rest area of Inajitsu, Coach Kunitomo, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't hold back.
After Kataoka made his move, he also made his move.
Move forward!
All the fielders of Inajitsu moved forward.
They stared closely, waiting for any ball coming from the zone.
Once Masuko wants to bunt, they'll let Seidou Out.
In high school baseball games, Coaches and mentors are everywhere.
Some Coaches with a strong desire for control will even directly decide how the batter plays each ball and how to defend each ball when he is defending.
Among the previous opponents of Seidou High School, Sensen High School was such a team.
Of course, there is also the opposite.
There are also some Coaches who like to arrange tactics in advance and only make signs at the critical moment to direct the team to attack or defend.
Seidou and Inajitsu are both such teams.
Their players are good enough to act according to their own judgment.
Only when it comes to some key scenes will the Coach give instructions.
Just like just now.
In the face of a great opportunity with someone at second base and no Out, Kataoka made his move.
Faced with this opportunity, they need to make a choice.
Compared with being greedy, Seidou now needs to score points steadily.
It is for this reason that Coach Kataoka makes choices for the players.
In fact, right now, Kataoka's performance was a little bit restless. When Koshien was in front of him, it was difficult for the Steel Heart Coach of Seidou High School to maintain his Steel Heart.
However, when he signaled to the players on the field, Ochiai frowned and hesitated.
Likewise, there is a huge crisis in the face of one Out runner at third base.
Coach Kunitomo of Inajitsu also couldn't sit still either.
He very decisively gave instructions to the players of Inajitsu to move forward.
The opponent is Seidou, and it is very dangerous to change the players' defensive positions rashly.
But now, Inajitsu must take this risk.
Compared with this risk, they cannot afford to lose a point.
For Inajitsu, a point cannot be lost no matter what, right now, they can only believe in their own Ace!
Seeing the instructions of their own Coach, the players of Inajitsu immediately acted.
In the position of the catcher, Harada gave Narumiya a sign.
'You understand, why does our Coach do this?'
'He trusts that his Ace will definitely Strikeout the opponent!'
On the pitcher's mound, Narumiya didn't say anything else.
'If it's pitching, I won't lose! Even if the opponent is that brat Eijun.'
Whoosh!
The small white ball was thrown from Mei's hand, like a dazzling beam of light.
