In the afternoon, the rain outside was ticking incessantly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although it may not seem like a lot of rain, it can make people get wet inside and out after a few minutes in the rain.

So in general, no one wants to stand in the rain and get soaked unless it is necessary in such a rainy day.

But at this time, on the baseball field of Aoba Dodai High School, a group of adults and a group of young men from the school's baseball club are not afraid of the wind and rain in the rain, not afraid of the muddy and dirty water on the field, and are focusing on this hard-won game on the court!

Well, it's not the hard-won thing to say here that the opponent of Aoba Dodai High School in this practice game is from the famous Kusano team in the ward, which is the nickname of the amateur baseball team.

Although the Gongye Department Store United team is a well-known grass team in the ward, the reason why today's game was successful was not because they were difficult to invite, but because the rainy weather during today's game was more difficult to find than the sunny weather.

You must know that the weather requirements of baseball games are similar to those of football and football, which are also outdoor ball games, even if it rains, as long as it is not heavy enough to affect the field or sight, the game will not be easily stopped.

Baseball, however, is different, as it is a ball game that is a serious test for a side in a defensive state.

Especially when the weather is rainy due to external factors, the requirements for baseball players are even higher!

First of all, the pitcher has to face a baseball that has been wet and slippery in the rain, so he has to spend more energy than usual trying to control the ball.

But even so, it is very difficult for a pitcher to make the perfect shot on a rainy day.

In the first game, the students of Aoba Dodai High School were tortured by the rain.

The starting pitcher was Watanabe, and the catcher was Anno, but the two of them were almost completely unable to implement the ball today.

Due to the rain, the baseball was heavier and slippery than it normally was dry, so every time Watanabe threw a ball, the baseball ended up in the glove position of his partner catcher Anno, which was about half a ball away from what he expected.

Half a sphere, about 4 centimeters away!

It seems to be very short, but for baseball pitchers, a deviation of more than 1 cm is already a big mistake, and it may be easy for the beater to hit a hard long hit!

However, fortunately, rainy weather also has the same impact on the attacking team, and the hitter will not be able to hit the ball far because of the above two points because of the weight and the baseball that has become slippery due to the weight and wetness, even if the baseball can hit well during the swing, and even directly hit the ball into a high flying ball or roll the ground.

This also allows the players on the defending side to easily receive the ball and form a touch and kill situation!

In short, a rainy day is definitely a disaster for a baseball game......

Seeing this, perhaps everyone thinks that this game will be a stalemate, and it is difficult for both sides to score points, after all, the influence of external factors has an equal impact on both sides.

However, after the actual game, the people on the side of Aoba Dodai High School found that the first to break through the defensive line and score points was actually against the handmade wild department store United team.

This was in the second half of the second inning, when pitcher Watanabe threw a slider at the opponent's second batter when the main guard of Aoba Dodai High School was on guard, and because he did not control the ball well in the rain, the slider was thrown higher than Watanabe expected.

So Kuwajima, the six-batter of the Gongno Department Store United, gave a batter to the hitter who had just come out of the right field.

In fact, if it is a normal sunny day, this kind of ball will roll out of a long distance as soon as it lands, so that the players who have to defend can have a chance to catch up in time to catch the ball.

However, in the rain, as soon as the ball landed and didn't bounce twice, it was unloaded with all the energy by the stagnant water on the ground, and it stopped almost directly less than 2 meters away from the landing, which made the defender on the right side of Aoba, Kobayashi of the third base pack, unable to catch up with the ball for the first time, so that the opponent successfully went up to first base.

Then 7 batters Si Ye, a department store driver hit the first right fielder with a score of the game.

Gongye Department Store also took the lead in getting points.

Later, on the Aoba Dodai High School side, because the pitcher Watanabe did not control the ball well in the first three innings and wasted a lot of good balls, so at the beginning of the fourth inning, he was replaced by coach Kawano with Kasuga Cloud and went to rest.

In the second half of the 4th inning, after Kasuga Cloud relayed the pitch, although the first two hitters were easily deceived by the thousand phantom balls he thrown, the rolling ball that hit the infield was blocked by the defending teammates.

But when the third hitter, Shiba Sheng, the 9th batter of the Gongye Department Store United, came up to strike, he used the technique of short hitting to easily knock out a short touch to hit the first base, which was not very good in ball control, plus the advantage of rainy days.

At this time, in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School, Watanabe was very worried and said to his teammates around him: "The situation is not second~~ The control of the pitcher's pitching on a rainy day is simply a difficult degree against the sky, and Kasuga-kun is not very good at this!" ~~ It was hit so quickly, if the opponent insists on attacking with short hits, how can this be defended~~"

"~~~" Everyone in the rest area, including coach Kawano, heard Watanabe's complaints, and their hearts became heavy.

yes, rainy days are really unfair to pitchers!

However, Kasuga, who was standing on the pitcher's mound at this time, didn't think so: a slippery ball, and a heavier hand than usual...... Well, at this point, what would happen if I cast the kind of Thousand Illusion Ball I thought I had before!?

So in the next ball, when Kasugamo saw the catcher Anno match for himself with a high speedball in the outside corner, Kasugamo shook his hand at Anno without a trace, and then quietly pointed to the outside with his thumb.

This is a sign language code that has been discussed between the two of them for a long time, which means that he will increase the variation to throw the ball more outside.

At this time, Anno saw that Kasugayun was going to try the change of ball path he had thought of at this time, and he couldn't help but get nervous: Hey, hey...... You kid have to take it easy! ~~

I thought so, but Anno finally heeded Kasuga's hint and placed the outer ball area on the outside of the glove look.

As soon as Kasugamo saw that Yasuno was ready, he immediately stepped on the board and started moving.

Since there were people on the first base, Kasugamo used the fixed pitching method, which was to throw the ball quickly and forcefully.

It's just that the ball thrown by Kasugamo is slightly different from Watanabe's and Hayakawa's other pitcher on the team.

He added a twist of his wrist to the shot, and the baseball slipped out of the left side of his index finger, rather than by pressing down with his fingertips and spinning to throw the ball.

As soon as the baseball was shot, it immediately began to feel like an escape and wanted to run outside.

"What the hell is this!? Did you throw a bad slide ball ball way?! Nakanuma, the 7th batter of the Gongno Department Store United, missed the ball without even thinking too much.

"Peng~~" Anno also had a staggering sense of jumping off when he finally caught the ball, and because of the change in the ball path, Anno's gloved right hand had to swing further outward to block the ball.

And after blocking, due to the fact that the ball path was a little floating, the baseball first hit the top of the glove and almost fell to the ground without missing a connection.

Fortunately, Anno is used to catching a thousand fantasy balls like Kasuga Cloud on weekdays, so he reacted quickly on the spot and received the ball in his waist position in the glove for the second time.

But this was enough to surprise Anno: "Oh, the change is even bigger than usual!" ~~~”

In the next ball, Kasuga's pitch confirmed that the change would be affected to a bigger picture.

This is a change ball in the low post just below the middle of the pitch, and Kasugamo actually uses the fingertips of the speed ball to throw the ball into the spin style at the end.

But when Nakanuma, a hitter on the side of the Kono Department Store, watched the ball that looked like a speedball flying straight and swung it hard, he noticed that the baseball suddenly fell strongly before entering the base.

"I'm click~~ finger forkball!? It shouldn't be, I obviously saw that his fingers were straight when he hit the ball~~"

"Peng~~"

"Good shot! ~”

"Damn, what the hell is this!?" Nakanuma was puzzled.

When it came to the final decisive goal, Kasugamo threw the ball into the inner corner.

Nakanuma thought it was a straight line for a speedball, but when he swung the bat, he saw the baseball come to base at the end, and suddenly there was a change of line that turned sideways to a more inward corner, which immediately scared him a lot.

Because the baseball is about to fly towards the fingers of his right hand holding the bat......

"I'm shit~~ This bastard kid ......"

"Ping~"

Nakanuma was afraid of being hit by the ball, so he quickly released his right hand the moment before the ball was about to touch.

Although the ball was hit by himself and flew out, the baseball did not fly far because of the one-handed swing of the bat, and was directly picked up from the ground and passed to 2nd base by Kasugayun running down the pitcher mound in a few steps.

Suddenly, the first base runner of the Gongye Department Store United, Shiba Sheng, and the beater, Nakanuma, were so easily killed by several high school students from Aoba Dodai High School.

This level of relaxation is completely stupid, and the adults from the Gongye Department Store Wing in the rest area opposite came: "I'm, Chai Sheng and Nakanuma are too inferior~~ This can be killed by high school students!" ”

"Hey~~ Shibhai Sheng-kun and Nakanuma-kun, you were killed by high school students! ~”

"It's a shame~~"

"Hehe~~ Look at your cowhide blowing this time, what nonsense will you say will be easy and easy to hit a home run...... This will be killed by the high school boys~~"

"Haha...... What a miserable loss! ~”

"Shut up, you bastards~~" On the court, Shiba and Nakanuma yelled at their teammates in the rest area.

It's just that the yelling of the two was exchanged for another burst of laughter from their teammates: "Haha......"

On the other side, Kasuga, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, watched with some surprise as his hands came, and he was very excited at this time.

Because from the two balls just now, he found that the rainy day was a disadvantage for other pitchers, but when it came to him, it became his advantage, so that the change of the thousand magic balls he threw under maintaining a certain controllable ball speed was more drastic than before.

This proves that his idea is not wrong, the Thousand Fantasy Ball is not only not a small additional rainy day factor that affects the deepening of the change of the ball path when he throws the ball, but makes it more strange and erratic, so that when the batter swings the baseball, it is more difficult to catch the change of the path of the Thousand Fantasy Ball he throws than when the weather is usually clear, so as to better and easier trick the hitter to get the good ball result obtained by the bat swing.

"Yo Xi~~ That's how you should vote!" Kasugayun was happy and excited. (To be continued.) )
