Chapter 38: The Outdated Genius (3rd Update)
The next day, Hachioji Stadium.
The second round of the official competition of the Autumn Tournament, the 32-16 competition, has begun.
The opponent of the Seido High School baseball team is Tomigen High School in East Tokyo.
In the first game, the Seido High School baseball team attacked first.
Because the three core hitters did not play, the entire line of the Seido High School baseball team has been changed.
Of course, by and large, it hasn't changed. The first few people who started in the last game also occupied an important position in today's game.
Akai on the pitcher's mound, fine beads of sweat had already appeared on his forehead.
Today's match, before the start of the match, he actually expected that it would be a tough fight.
Anyone who has watched the Seido High School baseball team play in Koshien will have this mixed emotion in their hearts when they play against the Seido High School baseball team.
Can they withstand that terrifying attack?
In today's game, at the beginning, it was the Qingdao High School baseball team that took the initiative to give them a reassurance.
The two most feared guys sat quietly on the rest chair.
They seem to have made a mistake, or if Inspector Kataoka wants them to keep their strength, or for some other reason......
Anyway, they didn't play.
Originally, the fighters behind them went to the front row in turn, plus the three new players.
To put it bluntly, the Qingdao High School baseball team only fielded half of their main lineup.
If it is put on ordinary people, how can this be unbearable? There is no one in sight! Even if you are acting and acting, at the beginning of the game, you have to put on an all-out posture, right?
What's going on?
But the players of Fuyuan High School basically don't have such thoughts. More appropriately, they were secretly relieved.
Really let them face off against Yuki and Zhang Han, they don't know what to do, okay?
is such a half-main force and half-substitute, although they don't look good on the face, they are down-to-earth in their hearts.
In this way, they can also play their strength on the court?
Playing a game against the Qingdao High School baseball team, even if you lose in the end, as long as the loss is not too ugly.
In the future, it will be a very face-saving thing to brag about with others.
Besides, others don't know if the Seido High School baseball team retains its strength, does it?
At the beginning, the players of Fuyuan High School were very aggressive.
The progress of their game is also very fast. It's already now, two outs, and there's someone on second base.
It was the batter's turn for their 4th bat, Zengzi To.
The first three hitters, the one who hit the stick was Kurachi.
In order to solve him, Akai threw 7 balls successively.
In the end, Kuramochi was forced to reluctantly swing the bat, and hit the infield rebound ball.
Although the warehouse holding speed is fast, Fuyuan University is not Qingquan Temple after all, and the strength of their players is still very solid.
The moment before Kuramochi stepped onto the first base, the baseball made its way into the first baseman's glove.
Warehouse is out.
After that, the second to play was Ryosuke Kominato.
It's a troublesome person.
Akai had never met this man in Tokyo before, and had never heard anything about him.
But his strength is very eye-catching, even if he is not tall, but his presence is first-class. If I'd seen it before, I'd believe I would have had an impression.
But he didn't, not at all.
Later, when I inquired, I found out that I was not from Tokyo, but from Kanagawa.
Before entering the Seido High School baseball team, he was quite famous in Kanagawa.
It's no wonder that there is such strength as it is now.
Ryosuke Kominato also put on a ball-picking posture at first, but he didn't do that in the end. When he saw a good ball flying over, he didn't hesitate to shoot.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it fell into the gap guarded by Fuyuan.
Akai of Pitcher Hill was actually very surprised by this incident. Originally, this was a fishing ball he had designed, and he thought that no matter how talented Ryosuke Kominato was, his own size would limit his strength.
So even if he hits the ball, there's nothing to be afraid of, he won't hit too far, and he won't be able to pull the ball back.
So Akai resolutely used the fishing ball.
Unexpectedly, the bait was eaten, but they were not able to take down the beater.
Sakai, the third batter who came on the court after that, also hit an infield rebound ball. If it weren't for Ryosuke Kominato's early action and running to second base one step earlier, they might not have been able to get a double kill.
If the double kill fails, the result will be more bitter.
Two outs, two on second base.
They had to face the Seido High School baseball team, the fourth baseball of the game.
Pure power hitters, the power is quite terrifying, even if you don't hit the center of the ball, there is a high probability of sweeping the ball out.
Akai, who is smooth on the surface, is actually under great pressure inside. So far, Kuramochi, who was the first bat, has been entangled with him for 7 balls, Ryosuke Kominato at the second baton has thrown six balls, and even Sakai, who was easily solved, has been entangled with him for a full four balls.
These guys, even if they are solved, if you think about it, none of them are easy to deal with.
So far, he hasn't been able to get the last out, and he's already pitched a full seventeen goals.
Such physical exertion, even Akai, is impossible to afford.
This is still in the case of not many hits on base, and if there are too many hits, the consequences will be even more unimaginable.
Akai was bitter in his heart.
However, he also strengthened his previous thoughts, and he must fight quickly and must not be entangled.
He can't afford to entangle, and neither can their team.
"Whoosh!"
The white ball roared to him, and the increase in the striking area widened his eyes coldly when he saw the flying baseball.
His eyes are like Tongling, choosing people to devour.
Looking at the flying baseball, he calculated the timing and made a decisive shot.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was hit, it flew high, flew forward for more than ten meters, and then fell almost vertically.
Akai, who was a pitcher, took a few steps forward and took the ball into his glove.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.
Akai on the pitcher's mound, where there is an adrenaline-pumping roar.
"Ah!!!!h
"Good! Cast so well! ”
It seems that if he doesn't do this, Akai can't express his surging emotions in his heart.
Zhang Han, who was in the rest area, frowned slightly and asked the mustachioed senior sitting on the side.
"This is the star player you are talking about? It doesn't look good, I don't feel as good as when I was in middle school......
"It's not like he's too angry."
Now Akai, there are still some shining points on his body.
But he did everything he could to stop the first round of the Seido High School baseball team.
In this way, his own strength looks like that.
