"Whew~~"

"Peng~~"

"Three good shots, batsman out!"

After the referee's shout, it was heralded that the third hitter of Aoba Dodai High School, captain Anno, was out, and it was also announced that the first game was over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On the field, a group of 9 people from Tsurumi High School shouted excitedly, "Well guarded, everyone! ”

"Yo Xi, it's good, finish sealing the opponent!"

"Good vote, Blowing Stone!"

"Well done, work harder in the second game, guys!"

"Oh~~" Tsurumi High School everyone shouted in unison.

On the other side, in front of the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, Anno, a three-bat batter who had just been eliminated from the game by strikeouts, was surrounded by reserve catcher Maki, pitcher Hayakawa, and a group of people such as Kasuga Cloud, Watanabe, Tsuchihara, and Akai.

After some comforting words, the coach finally asked the topic he was most concerned about from the back of the crowd: "What's the matter, Anno!?" What is the beat of the opponent's pitch!? ”

"Hai~" Anno first nodded to the coach, and then told him about the pitching beat test of the Tsurumi High School pitcher Blowing Stone: "Coach, and everyone, it's like this, just now the coach ordered me to visually observe the number of beats used when Blowing Stone throws when I hit the second ball.

I counted it, and the second pitch was a slider with a beat count of 5; Then the third ball is pitched by the opponent with a curved ball and the number of beats used is 5; The last ball is a cross, and the number of beats used is 4! ”

"Is that so!?" When the others heard Anno's words, they immediately understood what was going on and nodded in response.

But there was only one person who seemed confused at this time, he was a baseball novice Kasuga cloud, and I saw him ask his friend Watanabe next to him: "I said Watanabe-kun, what's the beat count that the captain just said!?" ”

Watanabe heard his friend's question, and immediately habitually gave him a detailed answer about the number of beats: "Oh~~ That's about the number of clock seconds used by pitchers in various states and pitching for different balls;

Generally we start to meditate on the time seconds when the pitcher starts to step on the board, and then wait for the pitcher to throw the baseball into the catcher's glove, and the number of clock seconds used in this whole process is the time it takes for the pitcher to shoot his corresponding ball, and we as hitters will use the beat of this clock second as the time for us to swing the batter next time we face the pitcher throwing the same kind of ball.

This method is generally used to gather information about the opponent's pitcher at the beginning of the game when facing an unfamiliar pitcher, and it is also the most effective way to strike the pitcher's pitch as a beginner who is a beginner to the game. ”

Speaking of this, Watanabe also pointed to a few people from the logistics team sitting on the side of the rest area and said: "Hela, look at that~~ Also, this kind of intelligence information is generally done by the students of the logistics team, and if it is in the game, they have to count the beat of each ball thrown by the opponent's pitcher, and record it for our players on the court for reference data." ”

"That's right! ~”

At this time, Watanabe said to Kasuga-yun: "Maybe Kasuga-kun can practice this move off the court, so that when you hit the court in the next game, you can find the right time to hit and improve your hit rate!" ”

"Good idea, that's it!" Kasugamo happily accepted the offer of his friend Watanabe.

………………

On the other side, the second game of the court started while Kasugamo and Watanabe were chatting.

The same situation as in the first game, Tsurumi High School obviously did not have much enthusiasm for attacking, and among the three hitters who came on the court, except for the first hitter at the beginning who threw the third ball at Aoba Dodai High School pitcher Hayakawa, when the ball was off the rails, he resolutely hit the ball out of the ball and was solved by the defense of Aoba Dotai High School, and the other two hitters did not have the idea of hitting with a bat.

So the first half of the second game ended without wind and waves, but it was such a calm that everyone on the side of Aoba Dodai High School. They didn't dare to relax their vigilance against their opponents.

All the people at Aoba Dodai High School are worried in their hearts, when will Tsurumi High School, which is so calm, suddenly erupt!? And after the outbreak on the side of Tsurumi High School, it is unknown whether they can completely defend and let the opponent return without attack......

When it was the turn of the second half of the second inning to attack Aoba Dodai High School, they also adopted cautious tactics, continuing to let the three batters who hit 4 to 6 bats on the court take the premise of observing the beat of the Tsurumi High School pitcher blowing stone and throwing the ball on the spot, and did not hesitate to swing the bats when they found an opportunity to shoot.

It's a pity that such an opportunity, as an experienced pitcher, Tsurumi High School's ace blow stone obviously won't be given to Aoba Dodai High School so easily.

Therefore, in the second half of the second inning, the offensive half of Aoba Dodai High School was still 3 hitters after 11 shots were used by the opponent's pitcher, and all strikeouts were dropped.

For a while, the game inevitably became a little dull.

This also made the fans who had to cheer for their respective teams on the sidelines lack a lot of energy to cheer for the dull game scene.

And this situation remained so dull in the next 3rd, 4th, and 5th innings until ......

In the first half of the 6th game, Aoba Dodai High School finally began to take the lead!

First of all, the 9th batter who came out to hit the first hit, right fielder Endo, relied on a decoy strike to successfully hit first base; Then it was the turn of the second batter to hit the first batter, Akai, with a batting sacrifice and successfully sent Endo to second base;

Kobayashi, the second baseman who came on the court in the third place, used a wooden bat to successfully blast a hit from the right fielder with a wooden bat, relying on the beat information collected in the previous innings about the opponent's pitcher blowing rocks and throwing.

While continuing the attack, he also let his side start to step on the sprint line before the score!

Finally, it was the turn of the 3-batter Anno who hit the center line to play.

At this time, Tsurumi High School had already seen that the situation was not good, and the coach on the sidelines immediately stood up and gave different tactical guidance to the many guards on the field, as well as his shooting partner and two disciples: Before the guard presses, the pitcher should use your secret weapon!

On the pitcher's mound, the blow rock exchanged glances with the catcher in the baseball area, and then grabbed the baseball with his right hand under the cover of the glove.

On the other side, the catcher of Tsurumi High School who was in the base area immediately put his gloves on the position where Yasuno was standing in the inner corner, and leaned out about the position where his knees were up and his thighs were on standby: Come on, blow the stone, give full play to your strongest state, and let the seizures of the Aoba Dotai have a good look!

Blowstone nodded in agreement, and immediately stepped on the pitcher's board and began to pitch.

And the beater Yasuno who was standing in the strike zone began to silently recite the seconds in his mind when he saw the blow stone foot stepping on the pitcher's board: 1~~2~~3~~

"Whew~~"

The baseball was thrown with a blow rock.

Anno in the strike zone counted the seconds to 4 at this time, and at the same time, he quickly stretched out and kicked the ground after his foot was slightly raised, and the bat clenched in both hands was also shaking here, and he was ready to swing the bat.

“5！ ~”

As he silently remembered the number of seconds of the scheduled blow, the bat in Anno's hand swung out hard.

"Great! ~”

The baseball that just flew into the base area was hit by Anno's bat, and the ball was knocked out of the way.

But after the blow was completed, Anno was very happy, because he found that there was something wrong with his blow!

Sure enough, Anno's guess was confirmed.

The baseball didn't fly very far in the air, and it landed without even crossing the guerrilla zone, and although the first time Tsurumi High School's garrison didn't catch it, when the baseball bounced off the ground for the second time after landing, the fielder who had already rushed over stepped forward and scooped the baseball into his glove, and then the garrison player didn't even save the effort to take the ball out with his hand, and directly used his glove to put the baseball in the nearby second base, and threw it to the shortstop who caught up with the second base guard to catch it.

At this time, Tsurumi High School has successfully blocked 1 beater on the side of Aoba Dodai, but this is not over......

As soon as the shortstop who was helping to defend at 2nd base caught the ball, he didn't even listen to the ball and reached out and threw it to the catcher, because on the line between 3rd base and home plate, Endo, another batter from Aoba who was about to score on base, was running hard!

"Double Kill!! ~”

"Come on, Itada-kun, double kill your opponent!" The people at Tsurumi High School shouted the name of their catcher, expecting him to finish the garrison perfectly.

And everyone on the side of the Aoba Dotai shouted on the sidelines, cheering for Endo: "Endo-kun, hurry up, hurry~~ Hurry!" ~~”

"Come on, run!! ~Hurry, you must catch up! ~”

"Hurry up, hurry ......"

In the end, it was the baseball that flew faster first, and was first put into the glove by Itada, the catcher of Tsurumi High School, and then he swung the glove in the direction of third base: Hmph~~ Aoba Dotai, you are finished!

Don't want to ban me so easily...... Endo, who arrived one step slower, saw that the Tsurumi High School catcher had received the ball into the glove, so he suddenly ran up and jumped in two steps at the position of 4 steps before the home plate, and the whole person seemed to flip a front flip 360 degrees, and jumped through the air to avoid the round-up and blockade of the Tsurumi High School catcher.

"Plop~" After the sound of Endo landing, a lot of dust was raised, covering the referee's gaze.

When the dust flew, all the players of the two teams in the rest areas on both sides of the court stood up one after another, and more than two dozen burning eyes were all cast on the home plate, and everyone raised their worried guesses: Is the return to base successful!? Or did the ban succeed!?
