In the rest area of Hirotaka High School, The Coach also stared at the rest area of Seidou High School.
Although they had two bunts, they never thought they would be able to score points. But the defense of Seidou High School players was too quick to react.
What is more, Sawamura continued his pitching as normal, like he wasn't changing his rhythm but his hat.
'Just from where did this guy come from?'
'No there is no point in worrying about this now.'
"Kosuke, it is on you now!"
"Yes!"
The game continues.
In the second half of the third inning, Seidou High School attacked.
It was the turn of Seidou's core line to play, and Kosuke Ishizue's performance was reaching a different height completely.
Using the characteristics of his Moving ball, he solved Kominato Ryosuke and Isashiki Jun successively.
After two Outs, the team was facing Captain Yuuki.
No one knows if Kosuke did it on purpose, or if he was caught by the momentum of becoming a captain, in short, he Pitched Four Ball.
Yuuki Tetsuya was Walked to base!
At this point, it's the turn of the batter who hit the home run earlier.
Two Outs, a runner at first base. The batter is Masuko who hit the home run before!
This picture, just thinking about it, makes people excited.
It's just a pity that this exciting picture did not turn into a score.
Although Masuko hit a long hit, the baseball did not fly off the field in the end but just fell toward the outfield.
It was ten meters away from the fence, but that was enough for the outfielder to catch the ball and solve him Out.
Hirotaka High School, which had almost fallen to the bottom in the first two innings, Because of Kosuke Ishizue's wonderful pitching, they regained a little morale.
This kind of morale is different from their previous feeling of giving everything and trying their best.
The previous approach is better to say, to give full play to one's own strength and not to leave regrets for oneself.
But to put it bluntly, it's just a consolation.
In their minds, there was no hope for the outcome of the game.
But after Kosuke's pitching performance, they didn't drop points in the face of the Cleanup of Seidou High School. This incident instantly fanned their enthusiasm.
They had no confidence to say they would win the game. But they thought that there may be a result that is more acceptable to them.
The game is lost, and if they can lose a few points less, they are still very happy.
It would be perfect if we could win a few more points during the game.
This kind of thinking is not wrong at all, and Seidou High School doesn't have to beat the opponent to bulbs until their faces are full of bruises.
It's just that people's ambitions are constantly expanding. When the score is getting closer, Hirotaka High School's players will probably not be satisfied anymore with just losing a few points less.
In the first half of the fourth inning, Hirotaka High School attacked.
This is the second time they have faced off against Sawamura. And with the previous failed attack and successful defense, they changed their mindset.
Kosuke on the strike zone didn't hesitate at all, and directly assumed the stance that he wanted to bunt.
"No Out, no one is on base, and it's going to be a bunt again!"
In the stands, an audience exclaimed.
After speaking, he was rather dumbfounded.
'Why say it again?'
Of course, this is not the first time Hirotaka High School has done this.
They had done this once before, and when it was their turn to play the line in the third inning, they also posed a stance to bunt at the beginning.
Miyuki commanded Masuko and Yuuki into the front guard.
He already had a very high immunity to Hirotaka High School's offensive routine of changing the appearance without changing the approach.
When the bunt route was completely blocked, he gave Sawamura Eijun a sign.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura, who saw the sign, was stunned for a moment and then made a mischievous smile.
"You are a really bad guy!"
The right-handed Mitt was pushed out like a wall, and the raised right leg fell like a battle axe.
As the center of gravity shifted, Sawamura swung his left arm like a whip. The baseball in his hand was launched forward.
Whoosh!
Like a laser beam, the baseball flew over.
On the strike zone, Kosuke Ishizue, who had been playing bunts, put the bat back.
Despite his confidence that his speed is fast, however, when Seidou High School had already set up a front guard, he didn't have the confidence to run to the base with a sprint.
In this way, it is better to use the style of slash bunt.
Once they were pushed forward, the defensive lineup of Seidou High School was in chaos. Right now, as long as he can hit the ball forward, he might just fall into the defensive gap.
After calculating all this, Kosuke took the bat back and swung it out again.
The small white ball in his eyes kept getting bigger and closer.
'It's now!'
When the timing was right, the bat homed in on the white ball fiercely.
But just as the bat was about to hit the white ball, the white ball suddenly sank down.
Ping!
The bat barely touched the ball, and the small white ball bounced and landed directly in the Mitt of the captain.
Moving ball Kai!
On the strike zone, Kosuke's face became extremely stiff.
He thought that he had considered all the possibilities, but he did not expect that he would neglect Sawamura's pitching skills in the end.
Like him, Sawamura Eijun is also a Moving ball pitcher.
And he's a Moving ball pitcher who's several times more proficient than he is.
There is no suspense, Kosuke is Out.
After him, Kuromaru Asahi stood on the strike zone.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
When Sawamura started to unlock his Moving ball, the players of Hirotaka High School could only temporarily give up the plan to play bunts.
They began to think about going head-to-head with Sawamura Eijun.
The result is naturally rather tragic.
The ending of the facing Sawamura, immediately reminded them why they had to bunt before.
Because if they play normally, it seems that they can't hit Sawamura Eijun's ball at all.
The first inning was like this, and even in the second inning, it was still the same.
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
It felt like they were rats running in a circle.
In the first half of the fourth inning, Sawamura completely snuffed out Hirotaka's chance for a comeback.
And in the second half of the fourth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
