Chapter 169: Fill the Base Bag First (First Update)

What's the most exciting thing about a baseball field?

In other words, what gets the most adrenaline pumping for the audience? Let them forget their reason and cheer to their heart's content.

That was undoubtedly strikeouts and home runs.

How many strikeouts are there in a game? No one can say this well, it all depends on the ability of the pitcher.

For example, if the pitcher is standing on the mound is Narumiya Narumiya, or Sawamura Eijun.

Then strikeouts will definitely be commonplace, and the two of them will stand on the pitcher's hill if they don't get double-digit strikeouts in a game.

They themselves feel ashamed.

The terrifying star player is not bragging when the upper lip touches the lower mouth. Rather, it has a real record as a foundation.

Compared to the usual strikeouts, a home run is a little more exciting because it appears relatively rarely.

But today's game was different, there were several home runs.

It was destined to be a game that will go down in history.

And the performance of the players is fully worthy of such glory.

"Inajo! Daocheng !! ”

The cheerleaders of Daocheng Industrial High School were as excited as if they had collectively taken aphrodisiacs.

At the start of this game, they were two points behind. It was just tied before, and now it has even completed the overtake.

Nothing thrilled them more.

Even the supervisor of the country's friends, who has always been unrestrained and smiling, has a little softer taste on his face.

Although today's game is not over, they have begun to gradually take the initiative.

The next thing to do is to see how Qingdao High School plays its cards.

With Narumi Narumiya scoring this two-point home run, the score of the two sides was pulled apart again. Only this time, the leading side was replaced by Daocheng Industrial High School.

With an overall score of 5:3, Daocheng Industrial High School led by two points.

In the rest area of Seido High School.

Everyone's faces were extremely ugly.

Superintendent Kataoka said in advance that he did not plan to let Sawamura Eijun pitch in today's game.

But looking at the current situation, if Sawamura Eijun doesn't play, I'm afraid they will be really dangerous.

The two-point gap is nothing, and the opposing pitcher, Hirano, is already at the limit. Solving him is a matter of minutes.

The key is the pitcher mound.

If the pitcher's mound becomes a colander, it doesn't seem to be too useful no matter how many points they score.

"You're going to hold on, Ah Xian."

In the catcher's position, Miyuki cautiously looked at his partner on the pitcher's mound.

Man, the time has come to test us.

Although the two elementary school brothers in the first grade have sprung up, but Kawakami's efforts during this period of time, Miyuki also sees it.

"Trust your own pitching, you can, Ah Xian."

Pitcher mound.

Kenshi Kawakami gasped heavily.

When he watched Akira and Eijun Sawamura pitch on the pitcher's mound before, he didn't have such a clear feeling.

I didn't expect them to be under so much pressure!

The national-level giants, the dark horse teams that are not inferior to the giants, and even the top giants in the country.

The opponents I met in Koshien were almost all of this strength.

Originally, in Tokyo, they also fought against Inagi Industrial High School. But Kawakami didn't play in those two games.

So for him, this is also the first time to face off against Daocheng Industry.

Only when the real duel was over, did he feel the horror of the opponent's strength more clearly.

It's horrible!

Sawamura-san, has you been under so much pressure all the time?

If you don't really stand on the pitcher's mound, who can appreciate the pressure on an ace pitcher?

At this time, scenes of training in winter appeared in front of Kawakami's eyes.

As long as he thought of this, his heart was full of unwillingness.

It's all here, how can he back down.

There was no turning back 800 years ago.

"Whoosh!"

Pulling off the stance, Kawakami threw his sharpest shot.

"Ping!"

Oka, the four-batter of Daocheng Industrial High School, hit the ball cleanly.

The baseball fell out of bounds.

After confirming that this ball had fallen, all the supporters of Qingdao High School were greatly relieved.

It's horrible!

The terrifying momentum of the other party felt like it was about to be devoured alive.

The fourth stick of Daocheng Industrial High School really lives up to its name.

Although with his all-out swinging posture, he is not particularly good at playing the ball. But he doesn't need to hit the center of the ball, just a little touch to sweep the ball out.

This kind of ability is also absolutely incomparable to ordinary people.

"Smack..."

"Out of bounds!"

Two consecutive balls were swung out of bounds.

Judging from the momentum, the fourth stick of Daocheng Industrial High School feels more powerful.

But Oka himself doesn't see it that way.

It's tough...

In contrast, he prefers a straight ball like Akira Shibuyani.

And Kawakami's change ball will turn around when it reaches the corner.

He's really not very good at it.

"Ping!"

The last ball, after Oka hit the ball, finally landed in bounds.

It's just that Oka is not happy.

At third base, Kanamaru opened his glove and took the high-flying ball into his glove.

"Smack!"

"Out !!"

After Narumi Narumiya scored a home run, Kawakami was not intimidated by the opponent's momentum, but behaved very strongly.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 5:3.

Although there are many fields and trees, they are very tenacious to win the hit. But their sixth arrow is not very competitive.

After Yabe hit the ball, it landed right in front of the shortstop Kuramori.

"Hip hop!"

It was as if a cheetah had suddenly awakened to a predatory cheetah.

Kuramochi lunged up with a lunge and picked up the ball and sent it to first base.

"Out!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

By the time the game had progressed, the situation on the field had been completely reversed.

Daocheng Industrial High School, which was originally at a disadvantage, not only tied the score, but even completed a reversal in this game.

On the other hand, the Seido High School baseball team.

Their end is more tragic, and the situation is precarious so far.

The margin has reached two points.

In this case, the game ushered in the second half of the six-inning.

In the rest area of Qingdao High School, a group of people are discussing offensive tactics.

Coach Ochiai touched the mustache on his chin and said in a deep voice.

"The other party is obviously avoiding the battle with Sawamura-san and Miyuki-san."

This is a matter of course, and it has been played in two consecutive rounds. As long as these two guys come on the field, the other party will undoubtedly choose to escort.

"Then if you want to attack the other party, there are only two possibilities. One is for the other players to score points, and the other is to fill the three base bags before the two players get on the field. ”

Superintendent Kataoka nodded, then turned to the fighters who were about to play.

"You should have heard what Coach Ochiai said, right? I won't say much nonsense. There is only one goal, to get to base as much as possible. ”

"Yes!"

Clearly, Kataoka overseer adopted the second strategy.

That is, before it is Sawamura and Miyuki's turn, fill up the base bag.

It's just that this is easier said than done, but it's not that simple to really want to do.
