"This is troubling!"
Looking at the rest area of Seidou High School where everyone was united, Coach Mukai felt a headache.
Right now, if they still want to reverse the situation, they must defeat Sawamura as soon as possible. At least get points from Sawamura as soon as possible.
"We will change your strategy! Now is not the time for a war of attrition. We have to strike back. After everyone chooses the ball path, swing actively."
But Seidou High School's attack was far from over.
Konan High School just scored one Out.
But looking at the attitude of the Coach of Konan High School and the assistant coach, they are not worried that they will continue to lose points in this inning.
One Out, no one on base.
"Fifth Batter, third baseman, Masuko-kun."
Because Sawamura returned to the end of the lineup, Masuko was re-promoted to fifth.
On the mound, the boy wearing glasses still looked shocked.
His pitching was hit a home run?
Really, got smashed into homerun!
It turned out that his pitching could be hit so beautifully, and a home run at that.
Seeing Yuuki high-fives with his teammates after returning to the rest area, Torajiro's eyes became thrilled.
He didn't dare to tell his coach and teammates how he felt now.
He was so excited, he was shivering with excitement!
After being hit by Tetsuya, the boy named Torajiro woke up.
'That's how the game should be.'
'This is the way the showdown should be!'
'This is why I play baseball!'
'Oh, I can't get enough of this!'
On the strike zone, Masuko Toru held his bat very high and looked at Torajiro on the pitcher's mound with weird looks.
He didn't know if it was just him, but the feeling that Torajiro gave Masuko was dangerous and at the same time…weird.
Masuko felt like a beast was staring at him, What kind of beast he is? Is not sure.
"It's weird!"
'Before, this guy was obviously as docile as a lamb. How did he suddenly become like this after being hit for a home run?'
'Does he have a weird fetish?' Masuko guessed in his mind.
It's really that Torajiro feels so unusual that Masuko can't help but start thinking wildly.
He didn't know Torajiro's current situation, So be very careful when swinging.
Although the bat was held high and ready, he did not intend to swing the bat on the first pitch.
'Watch carefully and keep calm.'
'Aim for the opportunity and smash with one swing.'
The bat doesn't have to be held too long. With his own batting power, even with a short grip, he can hit the ball long.
At this moment, Masuko was very calm on the strike zone, and he recalled the words that Coach Kataoka taught him over and over again in his mind.
'OK!'
Although the opponent behaved abnormally like a lunatic, Masuko still had the confidence to hit the ball that the opponent threw.
As long as he can stabilize his mind and give full display to his strength.
'Bring it on!'
Facing the dangerous and unpredictable Torajiro, Masuko's face did not change!
'They are really worthy of being a giant!'
The catcher of Konan High School looked at Masuko in admiration.
The current Torajiro, who was stimulated by Seidou High School's lineup, has completely entered the Tiger Mode.
Even as a teammate, seeing Torajiro's eyes, the catcher of Konan also felt dangerous.
Masuko on the strike zone doesn't seem to be affected at all.
Secretly for Masuko, he gave a thumbs up in his mind.
The catcher of Konan High School is not worried that Masuko can really hit Torajiro's ball well.
Just as the players of Seidou High School trust Sawamura, the players of Konan High School trust Torajiro in this state.
Badum, Badum!
On the pitcher's mound, the corner of Torajiro's mouth grinned, revealing his canines.
Finally, he heard the sound of his heartbeat again.
This rhythm is very joyful and very powerful.
'Come on!'
Whoosh!
As if to use all the strength of his body, the baseball in Torajiro's hand was lunched forward.
However, this ball is so slow!
It was slower than what Torajiro had thrown before.
On the strike zone, Masuko, who originally planned to let go of the first ball, couldn't hold back.
Although it looks silly, Masuko's eyes are still very keen.
He keenly found that the ball thrown over should be a slow Change-up.
But there has never been any information about Torajiro throwing a Change-up in all the information they had before.
'A hidden Winning Shot?'
Masuko Toru's teeth clenched, and his eyes narrowed.
At the moment when the ball was pitched, he changed his mind. He wanted to hit this ball.
Although the Change-up is very easy to disrupt the batter's rhythm, he is not a normal Batter.
Like Furuya, Narumiya, a super fastball pitcher whose ball speed can soar to 150 km/h, he really has no way to wait for the ball to completely enter his hand before swinging.
But Torajiro's ball speed is about 130 km/h to begin with. (80 mph)
And he threw a Change-up at that. With such a slow ball speed, Masuko can wait for the ball to enter his hand before swinging.
'Wait patiently!'
'Here it is, now!'
Completely let go, and control the timing of the swing. After seeing the baseball coming to his hand, Masuko Toru fiercely swung the bat in his hand!
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it flew high.
Masuko threw his bat away and ran to first base.
The ball that flew up, flew so high, so high!
But it didn't fly far away from the plate.
The baseball fell directly in front of the pitcher.
"The Swallow's Homecoming!"
Torajiro muttered to himself and said these three words.
He opened his Mitt and waited motionless for the ball to land in his Mitt.
SNAP!
"OUT!!!"
Two Outs, no one on base.
Masuko hit a high fly, which is very common in baseball.
Flying the ball, the probability of hitting the ball and hitting the center of the ball is almost equal.
The game continues.
"Sixth Batter, catcher, Miyuki-kun."
After Miyuki stepped into the strike zone, he glanced at Torajiro on the pitcher's mound strangely.
There was a very strange thing that happened just now, after the ball was hit, Torajiro did not move his position.
This is so weird!
Faced with a fly ball, a pitcher, even if he is sure he can catch the ball in his Mitt, will constantly adjust his position.
But Torajiro stood confidently on his own mound, waiting for the ball to land in his Mitt.
This is very rare!
"Interesting!" Miyuki's mouth made a smile.
He's very interested in revealing Torjiro's pitch secret.
Ping!
Miyuki swings the bat confidently, ready to hit the ball abruptly.
But what is very strange is that this ball did not fly to the outfield as Miyuki had thought.
But right in front of the pitcher, it suddenly landed and rebounded.
On the pitcher's mound, Torajiro didn't show any expression on his face, he didn't even move a step.
Just bend over to catch the ball with a Mitt and send it to first base.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
One ball to solve Masuko, one ball to solve Miyuki!
After being hit by a two-run homer, Torajiro suddenly stabilized, which caught the players from Seidou High School by surprise.
