Chapter 469 - Chapter 101: In the Lead!

"It's a hit!"

Watching Isashiki hit the ball forward, Okuchi was stunned in the position of the catcher.

This feeling is hard to describe in words. Originally thought that after the indiscriminate bombing by Sawamura Eijun and Yuuki Tetsuya, they would get a calm wave, but they did not expect tactical missiles to follow.

It's horrible!!

These players at Seidou High School were completely different from what they expected.

How could Seidou High School's fifth batter be able to hit that kind of Ball to the inside corner that almost rubbed the batter's body?

And, even if it was hit, shouldn't the ball that strayed from the lines be thrown out of bounds?

Okuchi felt that his worldview was about to be refreshed, and his opponent was far more powerful than he imagined.

In the dugout of Hoshiryu High School, Coach Hosho Ryuki's brows furrowed.

"These idiots!"

They take it for granted. The fifth batter of Seidou High School seems to like to swing at Balls. Even if the ball were clearly off the strike zone, he would swing.

It was based on this information that Okuchi developed a tactic of deceiving the batter to swing at tricky Balls and letting Isashiki hit the ball Foul so that they could get the number of Strikes.

There is nothing wrong with this tactic itself, it's just that they understand the intelligence and there is a problem.

The Opponent swings aggressively, sometimes even at obvious Balls.

This shows what?

This shows that as long as the opponent is not a fool, he must have the confidence to hit such a Ball into the field.

Could the fifth batter of Seidou High School be a fool?

The answer is of course impossible.

How could the core Batter of Seidou High School be a fool?

This shows that the answer is the latter. Even if it is a Ball that deviates from the strike zone, he has the confidence to get a hit.

The current result is like this, Hosho Ryuki and Nanami Haruka have carefully set up a trap for him, and he even jumped right into it.

With this hit, Sawamura at third base ran straight back to home plate.

"The first to score points was the Seidou High School baseball team. The three consecutive hits of the core line caught Hoshiryu High School by surprise!"

The score is 1:0!

Seidou High School broke the defense of Hoshiryu High School in the first inning.

In the stands, the faces of Obayashi and Kobayashi were quite complicated.

Although they are big fans of Sawamura Eijun, Hoshiryu High School is a team from Nagano after all, and most of the members of the Brotherhood of Red Hearts are from Nagano Prefecture.

In this case, it is difficult for them to choose a side and cheer on one of them.

You can only watch the game in silence and express your position in this way.

"Nanami Haruka, the Son of Nagano, didn't expect to lose points so easily," Obayashi said with great emotion.

Although they hadn't watched Haruka Nanami's previous games in Nagano Prefecture, they had heard others talk about it.

After all, most of the members of the Brotherhood of Red Heart are real fans, and some of the members also pay attention to the games in Nagano and the prefecture.

In the regional competition in Nagano Prefecture, Nanami Haruka and Keiba Sato took turns to throw on the mound.

Keiba Sato lost a total of two points, and Nanami Haruka didn't lose any points until the end of the final, which even included their matches against the other two giants in the Nagano region.

To put it bluntly, Nanami Haruka has now become a giant in Nagano Prefecture.

But it was Nanami Haruka, who was like a giant like this. In the face of Seidou High School's lineup, he lost points in the first inning!

"Nanami is a slow-warming pitcher, so we can't make arbitrary comments right now. Let's talk about it after a few innings." There was some resistance in Kobayashi's tone.

"Have you ever seen Seidou High School take the lead and then be caught up by someone?"

"That's different. At that time, it was Sawamura who was standing on their mound. It is not Sawamura who is standing on their mound now."

"It is the same, once the situation is unfavorable, Seidou High School will immediately change pitcher."

Kobayashi wanted to speak and stopped.

In fact, in his heart, he did know that what Obayashi said was correct.

But looking at Nanami Haruka, the son of Nagano, he lost a Run by Seidou High School in the first inning, and he was still unhappy.

"I know what you're thinking, don't worry too much. The comparison of strengths in this game should be more different than we thought. Otherwise, Coach Kataoka would not replace Sawamura right now. Even considering reservations of Physical strength, he should let Sawamura throw a few innings first…"

"I know!"

1:0!

In the second half of the first inning, Seidou High School took a one-point lead.

For the vast majority of the audience at the scene, this point has almost locked the absolute advantage of Seidou High School.

Seidou High School should have won!

Through the first few games, they were accustomed to thinking this way. As long as Seidou High School can take the lead, they will definitely win.

Actually, since Sawamura Eijun joined Seidou High School, until now, Seidou High School has never lost any match. On the surface, this may be nothing. But if you really understand the inside story, everyone will know that this is amazing. Anyone who likes to watch Seidou High School will think that Seidou will not lose.

Not to mention the audience, even Seidou High School's own players would be hypnotized by this belief.

No matter what the situation is, we will win in the end.

Of course, this confidence would inevitably become a double-edged sword. It has its advantages, and naturally, it also has its disadvantages.

That is, once Seidou High School fails, it is likely to trigger a chain reaction of problems.

And if Seidou High School keeps winning, their confidence will become stronger and stronger, and their hesitation will become less and less.

The game continues.

Two Outs, runners on first and second base.

Ping!

Masuko hit to third base with a fly high ball and was directly picked up.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

At this point, Seidou High School's attack in this round is completely over.

As a result, Seidou High School did a very good job.

In the first half of the second inning, Hoshiryu High School attacked.

Before the Players from Seidou High School went to the field, Chris took the initiative to talk to Tanpa.

"The next three opponents are different, so you must be very careful. Even if we are in the lead against Hoshiryu High School right now, these three are no trivial matter. Their attacking skills are very strong, don't be careless because they are second-year players."

"Don't worry, I won't give them a chance."

The bald Tanpa said seriously.

Having seen the video of Hoshiryu's game before, how could he not know the dreadfulness of the next three Batters?

Even though they didn't come from junior baseball clubs, and they were all invited from the softball league, when it comes to batting skills, they are not at all inferior to the top players in high school.

"I really don't know where Hoshiryu High School got so many terrible guys."

"Don't care where we got them, now we have only one goal, and that is to solve them."
