169. Victory and defeat
The final match of the regional municipal competition of the summer league regional qualifiers, in the stadium. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, the game has reached the first half of the final game, and the score is currently 4:0, and Aoba Dotai High School is ahead of the opponent Shenda High School.
All four points were scored in one fell swoop after opening up the situation in the fourth game in the middle of the game.
When Tanihara, the starting pitcher of Shendai High School, was bowling in the 4th inning, Kobayashi, the second batter of Aoba Dodai High School, discovered his pitching characteristics, which are special standards for the pitching posture and movement of various ball paths, so the hitters of Aoba Dodai High School have seized this characteristic one after another.
Using their excellent eyesight, they were able to judge the way Tanihara was coming out from the very beginning, which greatly improved the success rate of the shot and formed a score.
In the end, Tanihara was substituted in the fifth game.
The replacement of the relay pitcher of Shenda High School is the No. 4 main pitcher in their team, named Shingo Mifune, a first-year student who has just joined the team.
And this substitution also caught Aoba Michidai a little off guard, because in their intelligence collection and analysis, Mifune, the pitcher, had just risen to the middle school and was still in the stage of getting familiar with everything.
So after the Shenda High School replaced him on the field, in the face of the new relay pitcher who was unfamiliar and didn't have much information to analyze, the hitters on the side of Aoba Dodai High School didn't seem to have many ways to come.
So in the last few games of the game, Aoba Dotai High School never scored more points in offense.
In the same way, all the hitters on the other end of the Shenda High School have been playing the whole game until now, and they are deeply trapped in the thousand-illusion ball road thrown by the pitcher of Aoba Dodai High School, Kasuga, and they have been unable to figure out Kasuga's pitching routine for a long time and want to hit a successful base.
At this time, the game has come to the first half of the last game, if this half of the Shenda Attached Middle School can't find a breakthrough in the Kasuga Cloud Guard, then they will lose this game!
There are 2 outs left in the game.
Yoshikawa, who took the lead in the first half of the 9th innings of the Shenda High School, had no way to do anything about the thousand phantom balls thrown by Kasuga, and the three balls were knocked out by Sanji.
The next Qingtian was given heavy expectations by everyone in the team, but he didn't succeed in the first two blows, and his swing failed.
The third bat, Kasuga's pitch refers to hitting the low post in the inside corner, which is the suppression of the fast ball, and the bad ball with the good ball is deflected.
Qingtian could have let go of this bad ball that was not easy to play and get a good number of balls, but before the strike, the coach of Shenda High School, Bai Mu, directly instructed him to encounter a ball that was not a change ball, regardless of the good ball or the bad ball.
So Aota took a step out of his left foot and swung his bat to hit the ball.
"Ping! ~”
Hearing the sound, Qingtian knew that it was going to be bad, not to mention that when he hit, he also felt that the bat did not hit the ball solidly, so as soon as the ball flew away, he desperately began to run the base.
And the baseball actually flew not far away, which can be regarded as a short blow to the level flight.
Finally, it landed twice in the direction of the guerrilla zone before being put into the glove by Akai, who rushed to the guard, and then quickly passed to Maki, who was assisting in the defense of the upper 2nd base, and then passed back to the 1st base Bao Aihara.
The whole process of the Aoba Dotai's guerrilla and the two guard points on the base bag on the three people are very tacit, although there are too many hands to pour the ball, but the hitter of the Shenda High School Qingtian is still in front of the base bag, and the baseball is one step ahead of him to the hand of the 1 base base bag guard Aihara, and he was successfully blocked out.
Finally, the fight was only left with the last hitter left!
In the stands, the support group from Aoba Dodai High School began to shout the slogan "There is one person left", and led the surrounding fans who also supported Aoba Dodai High School to create a huge wave of support.
There is 1 person left~~ 1 person left~~ 1 person left......
The last hitter in the middle school was their ace pitcher, Tanihara, and this was their last chance.
Everyone in the lounge on either side was nervous, and their eyes were all glued to the final showdown between the two starting pitchers on the court.
At this time, Kasuga, who has pitched until now, is already in a much worse state than at the beginning, after all, he has reached 107 balls in this game, which is almost to his limit.
But coach Kawano saw that there was still one hitter left in the game, and he didn't bother to replace him off the court and let him continue to stand on the field as a pitcher to solve the battle, so as to accumulate a rare experience of pitching to end the game.
"Whew! ~”
Tanihara, who had already set up a striking posture in the strike zone, exhaled deeply, relieved the excitement and tension in his heart, and raised all his energy to look at Kasuga-kun: "Come on, Kasuga-kun!" ~Showdown! ”
Although he thought so, Tanihara himself unconsciously held the bat with a nervous tremor at this time.
And this scene happened to be keenly discovered by Yasuno, the catcher of Aoba Daotai High School who was squatting behind, so he gave the matching ball code for the first ball to Kasuga-yun: Kasuga-kun, the first ball, the outside corner speedball, a little lower, a bad ball, lure him out!
Kasugayun nodded his head to indicate that he had received it, and then the pedal was thrown.
"Whew! ~”
The ball speed is not fast, just 133 km.
When Tanihara saw that the baseball was thrown to the base, he found that it was a completely different way of the speedball ball that was thrown by Kasugayun in the previous matchup.
Although it was an obvious bad shot, he was in a state of extreme tension and excitement, but he unconsciously and instinctively swung his bat.
"Ping! ~”
The ball is hit, flying out.
"Shh~"
"Yikes! ~”
Everyone in the rest area on both sides tensed up and shouted involuntarily.
Especially on the side of Shenda, many people watched Tanihara hit the ball, and they all clenched their fists excitedly and were ready to shout in celebration: "Yo Xi, well done Tanihara-kun......"
"Hit, hit......"
"Hit, run......"
"Yay......"
However, their joy did not last for a few seconds, and then they were shattered by a heavy sense of defeat.
After the baseball was knocked out, it did not form a flight path that was much of a threat.
It was a high flying ball, and the direction was outside the guerrilla area, in the middle and right of the front of the field area, and at this time, the two guards of the right field and the middle field of Aoba Dotai High School had already come forward to stand in position.
After that, Sato, the first Chinese midfielder to arrive, signaled for him to come, and waited for the moment when the baseball fell.
"It's over!" Shiraki, the coach of the Shenda High School, had closed his eyes helplessly at this time.
"Ahhh......h
Tanihara, who had completed the blow on the field, saw where the ball landed when he ran the base, and at this time he was already disheartened and changed from running at high speed to trot all the way to first base, and his eyes were always fixed on the baseball falling in the air.
"Peng~"
With a muffled sound, the baseball was successfully caught by Sato from Aoba Dodai High School.
At that moment, everyone in the rest area of Aoba Dodai High School rushed out excitedly.
"Wow, ah, ah......"
"Win, win, we win! ~”
"Haha......"
"Win, let's go to the county competition!"
Soon, Sato on the field was surrounded by a group of teammates and began to celebrate the victory.
On the other side, Gu Yuan, who had just run on the 1st base bag at this time, looked at the base bag that was trampled under his feet with a complicated mood, and his eyes were full of helplessness and unwilling loneliness!
At this point, the game is over, and Aoba Daotai High School has successfully won the strongest battle in the city.
When the two sides saluted after the game, Tanihara, the pitcher of Shenda High School, stepped forward to shake hands with Kasugayun and congratulated: "Congratulations on your successful exit to the county game!" ”
"Thank you!"
Tanihara's mood was still a little low, but he tried his best to maintain a smile and congratulated: "This summer, you Aoba Daotai has really become a lot stronger!" ~~ Even if we get the most complete information from our seniors, we still can't beat you! ~”
Kasugamo didn't know what to say, so he used silence to deal with it.
Tanihara smiled and continued, "Come on, Kasuga-kun, you threw a great shot in this game!" In the future, you will be the strongest pitcher representative in Yokohama City in the county competition, so don't lose this honor easily! ~”
"I will!"
Finally, Tanihara bowed his head to Kasuga again, then turned around and went to the sidelines with his teammates to thank the fans who had supported their team.
At that time, Kasugamo saw a scene that moved him......
Although Shenda High School failed, most of the fans in the stands were very considerate of their shouting and shouting comforting words, comforting the players of Shenda High School who couldn't help crying because of the failure.
"It's okay, come back next year! ~”
"You are the best! ~”
"Work harder, come back next year......"
"We've got your back! ~~”
"Come on, come on......"
And all the members of Shenda High School had bowed and bent down at this time, and shouted in a crying voice to thank them: "Thank you~~ Your support, I am very grateful, thank you!" ~~" (To be continued.) )
