Chapter 33: Advance to the Final (Part 2)
The game reached the first half of the ninth inning, and Kohoma Minatokita, who was three points behind, was naturally unwilling to accept such a result.
At the last moment, they launched a frantic counterattack.
The Seido High School baseball team now stands on the pitcher's hill and is still Koichiro Tanba.
This is not a surprise to true baseball professionals.
Koichiro Tanba finally got a bit of an ace, and the Seido High School baseball team is thinking about it from the perspective of cultivating him, and it will not let him go easily.
If Koichiro Tanba can shoot the whole game and help the Seido High School baseball team win today's game, then it will definitely be a growth experience that will be enough for him personally.
Today's Qingdao High School baseball team is really short of ace pitchers.
In order to train Tanba, Kataoka and Seimchi's coaching staff must do whatever it takes.
Don't say that Tanba is in good shape now, even if Tanba is not in such a good state, as long as he doesn't collapse, Kataoka and they won't let Tanba go easily.
Tanba also lived up to Kataoka's expectations and performed remarkably on the court.
The eighth and ninth bats of Yokohama Minato Kita were solved one after another.
Two outs, no one on base.
Now they are just one last game away from ending this semi-final match. In the stands, a player who came to scout the information of the Seido High School baseball team raised his head from behind the camera and moved his neck.
"Koichiro Tanba, it's really progressed!"
You can say that Tanbo was lucky in the last game, and you can also say that he is in good form in this game today.
But in two consecutive games, Tanba shot all the games and performed well.
If you put everything down to luck and form, you will inevitably be biased.
Aside from those two, his strength is beyond doubt.
He has gradually learned how to fight on the pitch and has begun to overcome some of his weaknesses.
He's no longer the substitute behind Manaka, he's transformed into a pitcher who can take charge of himself.
At this time, it was the first stick in the Yokohama port north that stood in the strike zone.
At the beginning, this guy put on a posture of being ready to never admit defeat, and it felt like he was going to fight hard with the players of the Seido High School baseball team.
Considering the opponent's current situation and position, the friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team also understand why he behaved like this.
"Two outs, two outs!!"
"Let him call!"
The fielders of the Qingdao High School baseball team gave their aces enough support at this time.
They were full of surprises for Tamba's performance in today's game.
Therefore they do not hesitate to praise themselves and they do not hesitate to provide support.
In particular, a few third-year contestants were particularly loud.
Tanba felt a warm current fill his body, and his exhausted physical strength seemed to spring up again.
He calmly stared at his opponent and threw a confident shot.
However......
"Ping!"
The first bat, which seemed to be amazing, was unexpectedly short.
Then I saw him, and he rushed all the way to first base.
In the rest area of the Qingdao High School baseball team, the friends were taken aback.
"It's too insidious!"
"This guy's speed is really fast!"
In the rest area of the Yokohama Port North.
Ohno watched in a complicated way, desperately running to the bottom of the first base.
Don't look at the long ones as if they were five big and three thick, but the speed of the lower tail is the real first place in their team.
His strikes are also good, and because of the good strikes, he usually uses strikes against opponents.
Seldom steal bases with short hits.
Just because you rarely use it doesn't mean you won't use it, and in fact it's the opposite, Shimoo is very talented in this area.
Now, in order to be able to get on base, Shimoo has abandoned the principles he has always adhered to.
It seems that the players have not given up on the competition.
Not only him, but also other players in Yokohama Minatokita.
Their eyes were still full of brilliance, and they obviously had no intention of giving up the game.
The baseball bounces to first base.
Yuuki rushed out and picked up the ball.
At this time, the runner is only six or seven meters away from first base, and he can reach it in the blink of an eye.
"Good!"
The supporters of Yokohama Minato Kita couldn't help but applaud at this time.
In the current situation, it may be difficult for the Seido High School baseball team to stop Yokohama's basebase.
The first base bag is empty.
After picking up the ball, Yuuki almost didn't look behind him and threw the ball to first base.
"Mistaken? Run! ”
For such a good thing as pies falling from the sky, the players in Yokohama Minato Kita were very excited.
However, their excitement didn't last long. Just as the baseball was falling, a glove slapped the horse and arrived and steadily took the ball into his glove.
The owner of the glove took a step slow and stepped on the first base.
Even if he was a little slower than the glove, he was a step faster than the lower tail.
"Smack!"
"Out!"
There are no objections to the results.
Three outs, the game is over.
The Seido High School baseball team did not make it to the fifth round.
They didn't play in the bottom half of the ninth inning to end the game.
Although they scored a total of nine hits in the entire game, a full third of them hit home runs.
So they still scored very high, and with nine effective bases, they scored a full seven points.
Three points ahead of Kanagawa's champion Yokohama Minakita to end the game.
"In the semifinals of the Kanto Tournament, the Nishi-Tokyo Seido High School baseball team played against Kanagawa Yokohama Minatokita, and it was a fierce battle in nine rounds. In the end, it was the Seido High School baseball team that won the game! ”
The commentary in the stands was impassioned and generous.
The die-hard supporters of the Qingdao High School baseball team, as well as a lot of melon-eating people in the stands.
At this time, they all stood up excitedly and shouted the name of the Seido High School baseball team.
It is said that the Qingdao High School baseball team has a big problem, and they themselves feel some of it.
Especially about pitchers.
But what is the end result?
It turns out that all those people are talking about is carbon dioxide, which is useless at all.
Instead, it's the Seido High School baseball team, and it seems to be improving every game. After their players have gone through the run-in, not only their individual strength has improved rapidly, but the team's cooperation is also amazing.
"One minute on stage, ten years off stage."
Fujifu was impressed.
"It seemed like a natural fit just now, but I don't know how many times I've practiced it in private."
Koichiro Tanami...
Although this Qingdao ace has always left people with the impression that it is not very strong.
But in fact, he experienced the strictest training on the Qingdao High School baseball team.
It is precisely because of such strict training that his strength is far stronger than people think.
