168. Victory is in sight

Our summer isn't over yet......

Such a sentence, in the sound of Kasuga Cloud at this time, is more intense than when the previous 3-year-old seniors retired. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Kasugayun realized for the first time that he had unknowingly entered the second year of high school and became an old man in the team.

In the second half of the 4th inning, 1 out, 1 and 3 bases were packed, and there was already a hitter in front of him, Kobayashi ran back to home plate to break the deadlock by 1 point ahead of the opponent, such a good situation, if the Aoba Dotai High School side still doesn't know how to take advantage of the victory to chase, then I'm sorry they put in so much hard training for Hagar!

For this, Kasuga, who was sitting on the bench watching the game, was very clear, but his heart was still a little nervous.

However, Kasugamo looked around at some newcomers in the baseball club standing on the railing in front of the rest area, they all joined the baseball club after the start of the new semester in April, and now it is the first time to participate in the summer league game of high school baseball, so these first-year students are also infected by the tense atmosphere of the game, and they look nervous and tighten their faces.

Kasugayun smiled bitterly, why wasn't he like this......

On the playing field, the offensive half of the Aoba Dotai side continued.

The 5-stick Makiki has already stood in the strike zone, and the row of newcomers standing in front of the rest area is cheering for Maki.

On the field, Makiki shook the bat twice, and then held the end of the bat tightly and set up an attack posture and waited for Tanihara, the pitcher of the Shenda High School, to throw the ball over.

Soon, after the two of them determined the way of the ball, Tanihara pedaled and pitched.

The first ball is an inside corner slide, suppressed!

Makiki saw that the ball was coming in the direction of the bad ball in the inner corner, so he directly put it over and earned a bad ball first.

Then on the second ball, Tanihara played a high curveball in the outside corner in the opposite direction, and Makiki saw that the ball was not fast and gently hit the ball out of bounds with a trick to play long and short.

Then on the third ball, Makiki continued to carry out the destruction task given to him by coach Kawano, and hit the incoming ball to the left side of the bounds with a touch.

At this point, Makiki has already wasted 2 good balls, and the next touch can no longer destroy the out-of-bounds, otherwise he will be struck out as a failed shot.

But when preparing, Makiki resolutely took a short-touch posture, placing the bat horizontally in front of him to block the middle of the good ball belt, and looked like a tactical appearance of sacrificing and running.

Seeing this situation, Tanihara, who had already made 3 shots at the end of the Shenda High School, made up his mind and signaled to the catcher that he would use the decisive way in the next ball, the finger cross ball, to compete with Maki.

As a result, a secret battle between calculating and being calculated was brilliantly presented in front of everyone's eyes in this blow.

Come on, get rid of this hitter cleanly, and we'll have 2 outs - Itano, the catcher of the Great Attachment of God, thought secretly.

I'm going to fix you! -- Tanihara, the pitcher of the High School attached to the Divine University, thought very simply.

And Makiki, who was standing in the strike zone, was nervous and patient......

Pedal, raise the legs, stride out, and then twist the upper body forcefully, driving the right hand holding the ball to throw the ball out with a violent anti-joint throw.

"Whew! ~"Tanihara, the pitcher of the Shenda High School, threw the ball out with all his might.

He thought, "Come on, if you have the ability, you can even touch this ball for me to see!" ~”

This time, in order to avoid Maki's touch and the long fight that may change, Itano, the catcher of the Shendai High School, deliberately placed the ball in the corner of the low ball belt in the outer corner.

This point, whether it is a touch or a long hit, is the most uncomfortable hitting point for the hitter, especially when the ball changes the path of the finger fork, the probability of being hit will be even lower.

But no matter how perfect Itano and Tanihara were in the middle school attached to the gods, Maki, who hit this time, still caught what the ball path of Tanihara's throw was, because in his keen eyes, at the moment when Tanihara threw the ball, he saw that the fingers of Tanihara's right hand holding the ball were grasping the baseball, and the fingers were two fingers, the index finger and the middle finger, in the posture of holding the baseball on the left and right sides.

So there is no more to say, Makiki, who has a wealth of experience in the game, immediately noticed that the ball was a fork ball, and immediately put the bat away and held the long bat as much as possible, without even lifting his feet, just tiptoeing and relying on the strength of his body to twist his upper body to drive the bat held by both hands, and swing the bat diagonally towards the lower angle of the baseball route that flew over.

"Great! ~”

Hit the middle with a stick.

"Shh~~Roar~~"

Suddenly, many fans in the stands of the stadium who supported Aoba Dodai High School shouted in surprise.

This ball is hit very well, and Makiki feels it when he hits, and the baseball is the sweet spot of the bat, which is about 1/3 of the point at the front of the bat.

So after the blow went out, Makiki was already very confident that the ball was going to fly out, so the first time after the blow, Makiki did not run the base with all his strength, but looked at the baseball that flew out before he began to run slowly.

This is a kind of self-confidence, the confidence that you can definitely get on the base!

However, the runner Yasuno on the second base bag at the same time was not the same thing, and as soon as the ball was hit, he immediately ran towards the third base with all his might.

And his goal is obviously not as simple as going to 3rd base.

Yes, it can be seen from the eager look on the face of his teammate who was standing in the guidance area next to the 3rd base base bag with his round arm pointing to the home plate area and asking him to run back to home plate to score, that everyone's expectation for Yasuno this time is to go to the next level on the scoreboard.

At this time, in a live broadcast room at the top of the stadium stands, two outfield hosts from the local TV sports channel are doing live commentary.

"Ahh ~~ Shenda High School made a mistake, and the decisive ball thrown by pitcher Tanihara-kun at the end was caught by Makaki-kun, the 5-baseman of Aoba Dodai High School, and he knocked the ball away. ”

Another host answered: "Yes, the ball was hit very positively, and it is very possible to estimate the height of the ball!" ”

"Will it fly out!?"

"Coming, coming......"

"It's close to the home run wall, and the outfield guard of the middle school attached to the god university, Hojo-kun in the middle field and Sasaki-kun in the right field all ran under the home run wall to catch the ball, but the ball is still falling in the air! ~Will it be caught!? ”

"Will you catch it~~?"

"No, I can't catch it! ~~ The baseball crossed the home run wall, and Hojo, the guard player of the Kamidai High School who had climbed the wall, had no choice but to watch the ball cross above his reach, and Makaki, the 5th batter of Aoba Dodai High School, hit the first home run with 2 points in the game, congratulations to him, he is an excellent hitter! ”

"Yes, the game came to the 4th game in the middle of the game, and the situation on the court took a turn, Aoba Dodai High School took a big 3-point lead, and their victory was in sight!"

On the other side, in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, coach Kawano, who was standing next to the entrance and exit of the rest area, saw the baseball fall off the home run wall at this time, and finally the serious expression that had not changed for 10,000 years was covered with excitement.

Kawano excitedly clenched his fists and celebrated: "Yo Xi, this victory is in sight!" (To be continued.) )
