Chapter Eighty-Seven: Super Strong (Part 3)
In the semifinals of the Kanto Convention, Seido High School competed in Musashi High School.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Seido High School attacked.
At this time, the line of Seido High School happened to be the turn of Ryosuke Kominato, the second baseman.
"Ping!"
"Bad ball!"
"Ping!"
"Bad ball!"
The balls, one after another, were knocked out of bounds.
The catcher of Musashi High School looked at the hitter who was not very tall in the strike zone with almost despair, and an endless chill rose in his heart.
As a national-level powerhouse, the players of Musashi High School are very confident in the strength of their trump cards.
Especially as a partner, the catcher knows the strength of the pitcher well. Although the pitchers at Musashi High School are not the kind of super strong throwers who boost morale with one shot. But as the ace of the team, he is very strong in that aspect.
To take the simplest example, if they play with these hitters from their own team. There is no one who can hit all the flying balls out of bounds in a row and easily.
By now, they've been entangled in a full 13 goals.
Two good, three bad, eight out of bounds!
Look at this ball count, you don't even have to say anything to imagine the pitcher's depression.
"Whoosh!"
The 14th ball flew in, and Ryosuke Kominato did not swing his bat.
The catcher of Musashi High School breathed a sigh of relief, and it was finally over!
He hasn't played a bad ball since the ball, and since this ball is not swung by Ryosuke Minato, he will be struck out.
"Smack!"
The baseball burrowed into the catcher's open glove, and at the same time, as if an invisible slap smacked him in the face.
"Bad ball!"
"Escort to base."
Catchers haven't had a bad ball since the full ball, but that doesn't mean that the pitcher can throw all the balls into the good ball.
Just like now, after a few good shots in a row, this one, the pitcher's pitch is off the good zone. Ryosuke Kominato did not let go of the pitcher's mistake, calmly watched the ball, and successfully hit base with four bad shots.
"Good luck!"
Spreading the bat in his hand, Ryosuke Kominato ran unhurriedly in the direction of first base. While running, he was still muttering that he was not bad luck.
For the catcher of Musashi Middle School, Ryosuke Kominato, this is tantamount to a slap in the face of Akakago.
He said this absolutely deliberately, what does it mean that luck is not bad? You've picked so many balls, can you still call it lucky?
Ryosuke Kominato was alone, and he was entangled with the pitcher for 14 balls!
Now the game, it's just the fifth game, you know, it's still the fifth game has just started, and so far, they haven't won a single out.
This means that although the game is in the fifth inning, they still have a full five innings without throwing.
At this time, the pitcher's pitch count is approaching eighty!
The game is not half done, and the number of pitches is already one hundred smaller. It is conceivable that their trump card will not be able to hold out until the end of this game.
Seido High School!
It is also a famous school in the country, and Musashi High School has not studied the strength of Qingdao High School on weekdays, and according to the results of their own research, the strength of Qingdao High School is at most similar to them.
After all, the wins and losses of the two sides depend on who performs better.
Even if Qingdao High School joined the super newcomer Sawamura later, the overall strength has improved, and it may be a little stronger than them, but it shouldn't be too strong.
That's what they thought before the game. Who knew that when the real game began, they realized how naïve they were.
Four rounds, 3:0!
This is the gap between Musashi High School and Seido High School now.
At this time, some people may want to say, but it's just three points, and it's not that there is nothing to catch up with in the second half of the game, and Musashi High School doesn't need to be depressed.
In fact, the players at Musashi High School thought the same way at the beginning. Trailing by three points, they also think they should be able to recover soon.
But in fact, when they really played against Qingdao, they knew how difficult it was to recover the score from Qingdao High School.
Before you can get acquainted with his pitchers, the pitchers have already been replaced. And whether it is the original pitcher or the new pitcher, their performance is very bright and stable.
The most terrifying thing is that Sawamura, who was originally feared by them, has not yet made it to the pitcher's hill!
The one who suppressed them so embarrassed was not Sawamura at all, but the original Qingdao High School!
"These players are really supervised by Kataoka, and they are doing a good job!"
Looking at the powerful Qingdao, many reporters were amazed.
Even the big demon Sawamura and the newcomer who can throw a big speedball didn't go up to the pitcher's mound. Qingdao has also shown very extraordinary strength!
Ryosuke Kominato, four bad on base, Jun Izashaki escorted him to second base.
One out, runner at second base!
At this time, it was the turn of the blow to be formed.
Facing the four bats with strong striking strength, Musashi High School didn't want to be escorted, but once the escort was formed, they had to face Sawamura when there were people on first and second base.
They can't escort Sawamura anymore, right?
Escort four or five sticks in a row, in this game, not to mention the victory or defeat, the face must be lost!
The most terrifying thing is that even if he loses his face, Qingdao's attack will not stop.
The sixth and seventh bats of Qingdao High School are also very difficult to deal with. In the case of full bases, it is really not ideal to fight them to the death.
At this time, the catcher of Musashi High School had a deeper understanding of the horror of Seido High School's line.
It's horrible!
A carelessness is likely to be the result of a catastrophe.
At this time, the escort is formed, which will only make the path they can walk narrower and narrower. Instead of slowly pushing yourself into a corner, it's better to give it a go here.
But in an instant, the catcher analyzed everything and decided to go head-to-head with the alliance!
"Ping!"
The ideal is incomparably beautiful, but the reality is full of cruelty. Formed a well-timed second home run and sent Ryosuke Kominato back to home plate.
Qingdao scored the fourth point!
After that, Sawamura hit a hit.
One out, one third base someone!
Masuko hit the outfield and flew high, and when the ball landed in the outfielder's glove, he flew straight to home plate.
"Safety!"
Qingdao scored the fifth point!
In the first half of the fifth inning, Qingdao High School's offense ended, extending the lead to five points.
The bottom half of the fifth inning.
Musashi High School Attack.
The hitter who plays the next hitter hits a hit. After hitting the hit, Musashi Junior High School did not rush into the game, but calmly escorted the hitter back.
Five rounds of the game ended, the score was 5:1!
Seido High School leads by four points.
