In the third round of the regional selection tournament, after the match between Aoba Dodai High School and Tsurumi High School entered the second half of the sixth inning, after the defense bureau of Aoba Dodai High School encountered a strong sniper attack from the opponent's formation, their starting pitcher Hayakawa finally found out the weaknesses in his pitching action with the help of his teammates and coaches, and finally maintained the defense of the game after improving it.

However, at this time, Aoba Dodai High School was already 4 points behind the opponent, and if he wanted to recover the score in the next 7th, 8th, and 9th innings, he had to pass the level of Tsurumi High School pitcher blowing stones!

Can they do it!?

In the first half of the 7th inning, the first hitter from Aoba Dodai High School was the fourth batter in their center line to beat Aihara.

Just as he was about to play, coach Kawano interrupted the conversation between the two of them and added to Aihara: "Aihara, wait for the next game, let go of the change ball, if the opponent throws a speed ball, catch the ball and entangle him to play!" “

Kobayashi, who had some ideas about the pitching of the Tsurumi High School pitcher blowing the stone before, came to him with a wooden bat in time and handed it to Aihara: "Aihara-kun, use this~~"

"Huh!?"

Seeing the question on Aihara's face, Kobayashi smiled and said, "I think if you want to hit that guy's ball better, maybe the wooden stick can help you!" “

After listening to Kobayashi's words, Aihara immediately understood what he meant: "Oh~~ Thank you!"

After that, he thanked him and went on the field.

But before he came to the strike zone to prepare for the strike, he kept thinking about the words of the coach just now: the coach said that he wanted me to let go of the opponent's change ball, which means that the opponent's change ball is not 100% of the way I can hit it now! So now all I can play is ......

Thinking of this, Aihara deliberately let go of the first slippery ball thrown by the blowing stone, and then re-grasped the bat and waited to think: What I am playing now is only the second ball that the opponent uses to interfere with the ball!

Knowing the coach's intentions, Aihara immediately stared at Tsurumi High School pitcher Fukiishi to throw the ball for the second time.

Sure enough, in order to pursue the speed of the ball, the second ball of the blowing stone used the way of the fastball, and hit the position of the waist rib in the inner corner, and Aihara grabbed the ball of the blowing stone in advance, and hit the ball back with a decisive blow.

"Great! ~“

"Yo Si! ~~“

"Well done, Aihara!"

But the coaches of Aoba Dodai High School, Kawano and the people on the other side of Tsurumi High School, don't think so: No, it's still a little worse!

Sure enough, the baseball that was knocked out of the field finally flew out of the guerrilla zone and landed on the left side of the audience, becoming a useless throw-in.

"Ahra, it's a pity!"

"Squeak~~ troublesome guy, it's so difficult to hit the ball of the fastball!" Aihara in the strike zone was not satisfied with the blow.

However, although the blow was unsuccessful, it also caused a certain impact on the ball distribution on Tsurumi High School's side, and the third ball, Fukishi threw a curved ball, and a bad ball with a good ball belt was rubbed above the outside corner to lure Aihara to play.

But Aihara single-mindedly chose the right way to play, so he automatically ignored it.

And when it came to the fourth ball, the blow stone threw the outside corner under the finger fork, and it was also a bad ball road, Aihara actually thought it was a speedball at first and wanted to help, but in the end fortunately endured it, otherwise this bad ball that hit the home plate directly and bounced off the ground and was caught in the catcher's glove, even if Aihara wanted to play, he couldn't hit!

In the next ball, Fukiishi finally threw the ball into the good ball belt, but Aihara destroyed the ball out of bounds with the deceptive play of long and short play, and once again formed a suppression of Tsurumi High School pitcher Fukiishi.

At this time, the number of balls used by Tsurumi High School pitcher Fukishi against Aihara, the strongest 4 batters in Aoba Road, has come to a situation of 2 good balls and 2 bad balls, although Fukishi still has a free space for the use of bad balls, but because you can't throw a speed ball to lift the ball speed, if you only use a change ball, the speed is not fast and it is easy to be destroyed by Aihara with a decoy play, so this will be able to use the ball path for Fukishi to be used only as a finger fork ball that is very similar to the speed ball throwing method as a interference ball.

In fact, not only everyone on the Aoba Dotai side is very clear about this now, but even the people on the side of Tsurumi High School, who is the garrison, are also clear.

"Damn, are they forcing me to pitch a fork!?" Blowing Stone quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead before throwing a ball on the pitcher's mound, and secretly communicated with his catcher partner in body whispering.

"Don't be afraid of them, keep throwing the ball to interfere, come on!" And the catcher at Tsurumi High School clearly didn't want to fulfill his opponent's wish, so he hit the next ball code and began to move the gloves in position.

Blowing stone thought about it, that was too, so the next ball he continued to throw a curved ball into the low position of the outside corner to score a good ball with a good number of balls.

However, Aihara also seemed to know that Tsurumi High School would not be so honest in throwing the ideal hitting path in his mind, so he put the bat out as soon as the ball was struck.

When he saw that it was the curved ball, he temporarily changed his play and hit the ball behind with a swing.

"Out of bounds! ~”

"Hehe~~" At this time, Aihara smiled: "If you want me out, it's not okay to throw so slowly!" ~”

"Damn, this guy is deliberately destroying the ball!"

At this time, the people on the other side of Tsurumi High School all had a feeling of wanting to go on the court and beat Aihara, because they saw that Aihara's style of play after coming on the court was not at all to hit the ball on base, but all according to the number of ways to destroy the ball and entangle the pitcher to make him throw more shots and consume physical strength.

In this way, as the strongest hitter in the team, swinging the batter regardless of the striking effect, with the current ball speed of just over 135 km/h that Tsurumi High School blows a change ball, the chances of eliminating Aoba Dodai's 4 batter Aihara are really pitiful!

Seeing this, Kawano, the coach of Aoba Dodai High School, calmed down a lot in the rest area: Tsurumi High School, what should you do next!?

However, at this time, a scene that surprised everyone at Aoba Dodai High School appeared!

Tsurumi High School applied to replace the pitcher Fukiishi, and another reserve pitcher, a sophomore named Taro Takei Chuan, took over the pitching after he took over the pitch.

"What!?"

"Swap out their trump card at this time!? What's going on?! “

"What the hell!?"

On the side of Aoba Dodai High School, everyone was stunned by the sudden pitcher of Tsurumi High School.

Aihara didn't expect that his opponent, Tsurumi High School, would suddenly temporarily replace their ace pitcher and let this pitcher named Takei go on the board to relay.

So he hurriedly looked at Coach Kawano in the rest area on his side.

Coach Kawano gave him a tactical code: don't worry, continue to hold still, change the ball and let it go, specialize in playing fast balls, and shoot if the first ball is one!

Aihara nodded and agreed, but the doubts in his heart and the fact that he had to face another brand new pitcher made him feel a little nervous before he could figure out the opponent's ball.

And in the rest area of the Aoba Dodai, Watanabe, the pitcher who was on the alternate relay, thought about it carefully and asked his teammates around him to guess, "What are they doing here!?" ”

"I don't know!" The answer to Watanabe's words was the catcher Maki who was also on the relay waiting list, and he couldn't understand the other party's intentions and said it strangely: "At this time, it's almost time to decide the winner, and it really shouldn't be replaced by the pitcher, and the blowing stone throws well!" At least we haven't scored yet, and the average number of balls is not more than 100! ”

"Huh!? ~~" Coach Kawano was even more reluctant to speak at this time, looking at the situation on the court with a cold face and secretly weighing in his heart: Blowing the stone was very good, but at this time he suddenly wanted to replace him, could it be ......

After synthesizing the various possibilities that he could imagine in his heart, coach Kawano will slowly use the elimination method to eliminate the various possibilities of the relay pitcher of Tsurumi High School, and come up with a possibility: Maybe, this guy is the trump card of Tsurumi High School, right!?
