Chapter 40: The Fifth Home Run (Part 2)
Whether it is Zhang Han or Dong Qingguo.
They are all desperate to win more home runs.
But maybe they're too utilitarian, maybe they're just just unlucky.
Anyway, they didn't really get the home run down.
How can you describe this feeling?
It's like a punch on cotton, and although there is no resistance, it is extremely empty and helpless.
It's like doing useless work.
Zhang Han's hit was over, and he only scored a second base long hit.
No one is out, there are people on second base.
This is when it is the turn of the seventh batter to strike.
Jun Izaki had already been replaced, and not only him, but after the end of the sixth inning, the Seido High School baseball team led by nine points.
That said, there is no suspense in the game. In the regional competition, they can all seek to end the competition early.
In this case, the cautious Kataoka also began to give those substitutes a chance.
Someone is constantly being sent on the field.
Everyone finally came to Koshien, and there was always a chance to play.
In a way, Superintendent Kataoka is still a very gentle person.
Of course, with the experience of the previous game, he didn't dare to replace the ace pitcher Xiuze.
Don't look at Xinguang High School, which was suppressed very badly by the Qingdao High School baseball team, but the other party is also a giant, and the background has not changed.
Although most of the players have given up the game, there is still a resurgence of the ashes.
The situation of the competition has changed dramatically, and those players in Shin Kong High School who have already stopped thinking may not have new ideas.
And this new idea, the Seido High School baseball team can't go through it again, no matter what.
They really don't want to recall, Superintendent Kataoka and Minister Ota don't have such big hearts.
Of course, they also know the aftermath of letting the ace pitcher stick to the game all the time.
But there is no way, there are really no reassuring substitute pitchers in the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team.
Or to put it simply, the difference in strength between their bench pitchers and ace pitchers is too big!
In this case, how did Kataoka put the substitute pitcher on the field?
This time, the overstretched situation also made Oka understand a truth.
It's time for him to develop a new pitcher.
Koichiro Tanba has always been cultivated as the Qingdao High School baseball team and the ace of the next session.
Before the change, Superintendent Kataoka was also worried that with his strength and character, it would be difficult to provoke the backbone of the Seido High School baseball team.
But there is no way, the Qingdao High School baseball team has been like this in the past few years, lacking good pitcher seedlings.
If it weren't for that, it wouldn't be the next year when two new pitchers pop up and they'll be able to take on important pitching roles in the first team so quickly.
If Qingdao really has a trump card that can be created, then the two newcomers will have to wait for at least another half a year if they want to grow up.
This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.
At this time, Kataoka didn't know that he would be so lucky in the future. He was just sad, and with Danbo's strength, he couldn't hold it up at all.
He's a rotation pitcher at best, and now he's not even a rotation pitcher.
Kataoka set his sights on Zhang Han, and Zhang Han's learning and progress speed was very amazing.
Originally, they thought that it would take a year and a half for his left hand to be used. Now it doesn't seem like it will take that long.
When it's time for the fall competition, you might as well give it a try.
I believe that it will wait until the second year, that is, after the start of school next year.
Zhang Han's left hand can be polished almost.
It's really hard to say who he or Tanbo will be the ace of the team at that time.
Superintendent Kataoka fell into his own wonderful fantasies.
As for this year's Koshien, although they tried their best to fight for it, Kataoka's heart was the same as Spiegel.
With Qingdao's shallow pitcher background, it is impossible for the team to go to the end.
They can only take one step at a time, and count wherever they go
"Ping!"
The third-grader who came off the bench barely touched the ball, and the ball that came out was limp and was quickly intercepted and passed to first base.
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
One out, there's someone on second base.
The audience basically thought that the baseball of Qingdao High School was almost in moderation.
Dong Qingguo and Zhang Han, because of the record, both have the goal of hitting the ball out.
So it doesn't matter if they shoot.
But the rest of the Seido High School baseball team shouldn't have just shot casually.
After all, the opponent has been pushed to this extent, and it is the most correct choice to end the game as soon as possible.
Otherwise, if the stimulation is ruthless, the players of Shin Kong High School do something irrational, then it will be too late.
Therefore, in the case of a particularly large score gap, the leading side often chooses to release water a little, so that everyone's face is not so ugly.
But there are people who make an exception.
Qingdao's next beater was replaced by Miyuki.
Stained with Xiuze's light, the ace pitcher did not make substitutions, and the catcher naturally could not be replaced.
Xiuze's current pitching is becoming more and more unpredictable.
Even the Qingdao High School baseball team, these friends who get along with him day and night, can clearly feel his progress.
There were only a few people who could catch his ball, and now only Miyuki himself is left.
Only this first-year imp has kept up with Xiuzawa's progress.
Now he is standing in the strike zone.
At the beginning, the players of Shin Kong High School didn't care.
They thought there was already a tacit understanding between the two teams.
To be honest, the score is now 17:1, and Shin Kong High School is about to become the biggest shame among all the giants.
But they didn't expect that in the Qingdao High School baseball team, what would some people's downline look like?
Do you want to score points in Koshien?
It doesn't matter how many points the Seido High School baseball team leads now, this is a personal glory that belongs only to you.
For a teenager who has dreamed of the Koshien stage since he was a child, how many people can hold it?
In Miyuki's opinion, the pitcher who replaced Shifang, the ball he threw was like meat sent to the door.
It makes people want to take a bite anyway.
In the end, Miyuki couldn't resist the temptation, and when he saw the meat in front of him, he stepped forward very simply and took a bite.
"Ping!"
A mediocre straight ball, which was drawn hard, and then soared into the sky.
The white ball crossed the space of 100 meters and appeared in the stands of the left field.
At this point, the Qingdao High School baseball team won their fifth home run, and the score of the two sides also showed a slight fluctuation again.
The total score became nineteen to one.
This was also the final score of today's game.
With Xiuze neatly winning three outs, the game officially ended.
The Qingdao High School baseball team took the lead in advancing to the top 8 in the country.
