Chapter 70: The Ace Pitcher's Mission (Super 2-in-1)

In the first half of the eighth inning, Ukumori attacked.

At this time, Seido High School replaced its relay pitcher Kawakami. In the eyes of the vast majority of people at the scene, the magic that Ukumori High School can continue should end here.

Although Kawakami is not the top pitcher in the country, his pitcher strength is definitely not weak, and he can basically rank in the top 10 among all pitchers in Tokyo.

With his level, even if he competes with Ukumori High School alone, he will not fall behind.

Not to mention that the current players in Ukumori High School have long since run out of oil and are over-exhausted.

At this time, all it takes is a light straw that should completely crush him.

Paikawa finished the game on the court, and he was already very much interested in Ukumori High School. Many people think that even if Gu Xiao continues to vote, there should be no problem.

Ukumori High School is obviously at the end of the crossbow, and it shouldn't take much effort to solve them.

When Uemiya stood in the strike zone, he behaved exactly as the audience thought.

His physical strength has obviously been exhausted, and it is hard to imagine that in his current state, he can still hit Kawakami's ball. But that's how it happened, just when everyone thought it was impossible, a miracle happened, Umemiya beautifully hit Kawakami's ball out and won the hit smoothly.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

This sudden change completely aroused the curiosity in the audience. The game, which has been like a pool of stagnant water, seems to have changed differently at this time.

Ukumori High School had already fallen into the abyss, and at this time, it was as if a strong arm had hung them on a tree jutting out of the cliff.

Although by now, the chances of Ukumori High School being able to reverse the victory in the end are slim.

But you have to admit that this opportunity does arise.

In this way, it was the turn of the fifth batter of Ukumori High School, that is, the big brunzy fang.

Inufushi Kota!

Although this guy is not good-looking, he still has strength, and he is an opponent that should not be underestimated.

Catcher's position.

Yukiichi suddenly said, "I'm sorry! It's a matter of my ball. ”

Actually, it wasn't a problem with the ball, and it wasn't a problem with the pitcher. The reason why Ume Palace was able to hit the ball beautifully was entirely because he played extraordinarily.

In this case, the main reason why Miyuki will put all the blame on himself is that he is afraid that this ball will affect Kawakami's state. After all, the pitcher has just come on the court, and as soon as he gets on the court, someone gets a hit, and this feeling is not too pleasant.

The Mei Palace, which is on the base, looks eager to try and ready to steal the base at any time.

The hitting Inufushi Gongta was also extremely active, revealing a hideous face, waving the bat in his hand again and again, putting pressure on the pitcher.

"The other party is just dying, don't mind."

Miyuki's performance was very relaxed, as if he didn't take his opponent seriously at all. He has to show that kind of form, otherwise what will the pitcher do if even he, the catcher, panics?

Kawakami is also one of the main rotation players of Seido High School who once won the national hegemony.

Not to mention anything else, his psychological quality is still passable, and his state has not been affected because of Mei Gong's hit.

It's still very sharp when pitching.

Mei Gong, who was originally actively stealing the base, did not rush out like a headless fly as he showed himself.

Really!

At first, Ukumori High School went on a rampage in search of opportunities. Now that their chances are getting fewer and fewer, Ukumori High School will not waste their outs worthlessly.

The luck of the big set in his heart, wholeheartedly solved the beater in front of him.

"Ping!"

Surprisingly, Inufushi didn't entangle with them, but bit a sweeter ball and hit it out fiercely.

After the ball is hit, it bounces off the ground.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki is doing calculations.

No problem, it should be possible to get a double kill.

"Pass second base!"

He gave instructions neatly.

Kanemaru catches the ball and passes to second base.

At the same time, Umenomiya also ran to second base.

Uncle Kuramori's eyes flashed with a hint of badness.

The speed of Mei Gong Seiichi is very abnormal, how could he have run to second base at this time.

But that's the case, at this time Mei Gong had already run to second base.

When Kuramot received the ball, Mei Gong's hand had already touched the base bag in advance.

"Safety!"

Double Kill Fails!

Kuramochi had no choice but to pass the ball to first base, but after a delay just now, it was too late to pass to first base.

The moment before the baseball returned to the front garden glove, Inufushi ran past first base smoothly.

No one is out, there are people on first and second base!

It was originally a double kill that was nine out of ten, and it just flew! There was even a delay in the number of outs for this.

Ukumori High School, which was almost falling into the abyss, climbed up step by step in such a magical way, and finally climbed back to the edge of the cliff.

This magical scene stunned all the audience at the scene.

Originally, there were many people who began to support Ukumori High School.

As the game progressed, more and more people supported them, and now about 1/3 to 1/4 of the people on the scene have chosen to support Ukumori High School, and their cheers and shouts together shook the entire stadium.

The fans of Qingdao High School were not to be outdone and immediately replied.

Not only the audience watched the blood rush, but even some baseball professionals were thrilled to watch.

Fujifu muttered.

"This team! This team !! ”

Ukumori's performance in high school was so amazing that even he didn't know what to say.

But now the atmosphere on the field is very strange, and the situation is inevitably tilted towards the side of Ukumori High School.

"It's almost time!"

Fujio looked thoughtfully at the rest area of Seido High School.

This kind of crisis scene requires an ace pitcher to come forward to turn the tide.

It's just that once Sawamura Eijun plays, the kind of psychological advantage they accumulated before will be gone, which means that Seido High School will have to go all out in order to face the opponent in front of him.

And once Sawamura plays, he can't stop the madness of Ukumori High School, and the game is likely to go to the other extreme.

How many people at the scene thought so, and even Ochiai believed that now was not the time to retain strength.

You know, there is no turning back in high school baseball, and once you fail, there is nothing.

Superintendent Kataoka, but has remained unmoved.

"Until now, everything was caused by coincidence. There is nothing too big of a problem with the performance of the players themselves, so you have to choose to believe in them at this time. ”

Umenomiya Seiichi's base, the double kill failed......

Strictly speaking, none of it is Kawakami's responsibility. In normal times, in this situation, the players of Qingdao High School would have already won the double kill.

Now, just because he couldn't win a double kill, he replaced Kawakami, who didn't make much mistakes in pitching, and Kataoka didn't think it was appropriate.

This is irresponsible to the players.

The crisis is also an opportunity, and if Kawakami can solve this crisis by himself, then his strength will definitely go to the next level.

In order to better develop players, Kataoka is willing to take risks.

Their own supervision and strong will also affected the players.

"Let them fight!"

"We'll stop it!"

"Just kill them in one go."

The friends spoke one by one and cheered for Kawakami.

"Don't be nervous, we all believe in you. Right here, take out your opponents in one go! ”

Miyuki also cheers Kawakami!

He believed that Kawakami would have no problem, and he would definitely be able to overcome the difficulty in front of him.

"Whew!!"

With a long breath, Kawakami kept thinking back to his previous pitch.

Mei Palace's goal was almost helpless. The opponent was exhausted, but he still stubbornly hit the ball out, and in the face of such a result, Kawakami couldn't say anything.

After that ball, he has actually solved the hitter.

The reason why the double kill failed was due to a tactical mistake.

After thinking about all this, Kawakami finally calmed down.

There is no problem with his pitching, as long as he sticks to his own style, don't panic, don't mess up, he will definitely solve it smoothly, and all the remaining hitters.

At the second base, Mei Gong once again put on a posture that was eager to try.

At the same time, the dog Fushi on first base was also very dishonest.

It looks like it's going to steal the base.

Miyukichi was also able to see their bluff, so he gave Kawakami a secret signal so that Kawakami didn't pay attention to them and concentrate on pitching.

Kawakami nodded and threw the ball decisively.

"Whoosh!"

The baseball flew in, and Umenomiya and Inufushi, who were already eager to try, were all launched.

Double Thief Base!

Miyuki frowned.

The other party's strategy was a little incomprehensible to him, but he knew exactly what he should do.

In the case that the double base can only stop one, of course he chooses to steal the plum palace of the third base.

As long as he calmly wins Mei Palace, then Ukumori High School will be equivalent to giving them an outgame for nothing.

The number of outs sent to the door in vain, don't be in vain.

At the same time as Miyuki made up his mind, he also stood up and prepared to pass directly to third base after receiving the ball.

That's when the mutation happened.

In front of Miyuki, an extra bat suddenly appeared.

"Ping!"

The little white ball was touched.

Hit and run!

Because Ukumori High School has always been brainless to steal bases before, Qingdao High School was wary of any other tactics at first, and gradually, they have become accustomed to the routines of Ukumori High School, thinking that the opponent's base stealing itself is brainless, and they can not take it to heart.

In this case, they just need to concentrate and deal with the runners.

I didn't expect that there would be a fight and run at this time.

Kuraka, who had already run to second base, inevitably missed the first drop of the ball.

Rely on it!

The Scud Uncle was immediately furious, and he immediately rushed to the ball.

Because of this, he missed the opportunity to solve Inufushi Kota.

It's a pity, but there's no way around it. Fortunately, his speed was fast enough, although he didn't rush to the landing point of the baseball in the first place, there was no way to intercept Inufushi Gongta and Umenomiya Seiichi.

But the hitter, you don't have to think about getting on base.

After Kuramochi received the ball, he passed it directly to Maezono.

After such a delay just now, the hitter was actually about to run to first base at this time.

As Mae-doen prepares to catch the ball, he keeps an eye on the runners with his peripheral vision.

Kuramochi was still very good, and although he missed the first drop of baseball, he still passed the ball into the gloves of the front garden before the hitter hit base.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Qianyuan silently breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Although the current situation is a little more critical, it has not caused any unimaginable consequences.

It's just that the situation they are facing is probably getting more and more serious.

Before Maeyuan could completely relax his heart, he heard a shout from the position of the catcher.

"Pass home plate!"

The person who shouted was Miyuki.

Qianyuan turned his head in a panic and saw a very incredible scene. Ume Palace, who had just run to third base, didn't know when he had rushed to home plate.

At this time, he was already halfway through the run, and the distance from home plate was only a dozen meters.

This distance, in front of the runners running at full strength, is only two seconds.

Qianyuan didn't have time to think about it, and directly passed the baseball in his hand.

From the time he heard the sound, to the turn of his head, to the pass, and finally the ball flew through a distance of nearly 30 meters and into Miyuki's glove.

Umenomiya has reached home plate.

Miyuki only had time to stretch out his gloves.

"Safety!"

"Score !!"

In this way, Ukumori High School stubbornly scored the fifth point in an extremely unlikely situation.

The aggregate score became 6:5.

The gap between the two sides is only the last point.

At this time, the attack of Ukumori High School was far from over.

One out, there's someone on second base.

Their offense continues, and their chances of scoring are indefinitely expanding.

This series of magical performances dazzled the audience.

This performance is good enough, and if you think of Ukumori High School's opponent being Aomichi, this obsessive feeling is even stronger.

"Ukumori!"

"Ukumori !!!"

For a moment, the whole audience was filled with the sound of cheering for Ukumori.

Although the voice of cheering for Qingdao soon rushed out and fought against the other party.

But that still doesn't change the facts.

That's the game, the players of Ukumori High School, really created a miracle.

You must know that at the beginning of the game, everyone in the audience was a fan of Qingdao High School.

It's just the work of one game, and nearly half of the fans on the field have turned against each other.

The charm of Ukumori High School can't be low-graded.

The rest area of Seido High School.

Coach Ochiai stood up with some anger.

If he was able to endure it before, now he can't bear it.

Just before he could make a move, Superintendent Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, suddenly turned his head to look at Sawamura and asked in a flat tone.

"Are you ready?"

"Anytime!"

I don't know when, Sawamura has already taken off the big mask on his face.

"Seido High School changes pitcher, Eijun Sawamura plays!!!"

After losing a point, Superintendent Kataoka resolutely replaced Kawakami, who had just come on the field.

At this time, he didn't seem to have the warm look in his eyes anymore, and some of them were just coldness that belonged to the overseer.

"Overseer!"

This scene, Ochiai, who made him stand up angrily, didn't know what to say.

"You're worried!"

Superintendent Kataoka bowed slightly to Ochiai, who was more than ten years older than him.

"There's nothing wrong with me really wanting to train Kawakami, but I'm not stubborn enough to put the interests of the whole team on the line in order to train one person!"

"The next job is the task of the ace!"

Ochiai thoughtfully.

On the surface, it seems that Kataoka is willing to train pitchers more, and he doesn't trust the ace so much.

If it's in other teams, they have a card like Sawamura in their hands, and as long as the opportunity is right, they will definitely play this card.

Kataoka didn't do that.

But in fact, no one trusts the strength of his trump card more than him, right?

He should think that no matter what kind of situation he faces, as long as Seido High School is still in the lead at that time, Sawamura will be able to stabilize the situation.

That's why it's done!

From this point of view, Superintendent Kataoka should trust Sawamura's strength more than anyone else.

He believes that he chooses the trump card.

"It looks like I'm worried."
