Chapter 136: The Second Half of the Ninth Game (Third Update)
Guessed it!
Looking at the flying white ball, a hint of joy flashed on Miyuki's face.
The position and change of the ball were exactly as he expected.
He is such a player, the more information he knows, the more accurate his analysis and judgment will be. Especially if there are runners on the baseball, his predictions will be more accurate.
It's like doing a question, the more ideas, the more hints, the easier it is to answer the question.
In the case of one person out and someone on second base.
It's not hard to guess what kind of ball the opponent wants to use.
In fact, this point, presumably Renji and Hongo, the two casting partners, are also clear.
But they still chose to face off against Miyuki head-on and fight in a hard-fought way.
Of course, this is not a brainless move by the opponent, but they have absolute confidence in the pitching of their ace pitcher.
Even if the ball path is guessed by Yukiichi, it will be difficult for him to play well.
It is because of this in mind that they are able to do this.
It's a pity that they obviously underestimated Miyuki Kazuya's ability.
In the face of this ball in a tricky position, Miyuki's swing was clean and neat.
When he guessed the way of the ball, his blow was almost invincible.
After the white ball was hit, it drew a perfect arc and fell into the outfield.
The outfielder didn't catch the baseball in the first place, and could only watch the little white ball fly out.
By the time baseball was about to land, Sawamura had already left second base for third base.
Judging by his own experience, the ball just now should have landed and not been caught.
With such psychological preparation, his actions are naturally one step faster than ordinary people.
As that little white ball falls, get out. Sawamura Eijun had already left the base bag far enough to reach third base in the blink of an eye.
When he reached third base, the runner on third base nodded at him.
Here's a chance!
Sawamura didn't even look back, one foot had already stepped on the base bag of third base, and he didn't stop at all, and pounced directly on home plate.
At this time, the troll's outfielder had just picked up the ball, and the position where he picked it up was at least 60 meters away from the catcher.
This distance is sufficient, not to mention such a long pass, it is difficult not to make mistakes.
Even if there were no errors, Sawamura had a good chance of running back to home plate.
It's too much time.
It took almost two seconds for the little white ball alone to fly over this distance.
Combined with the time it takes for the catcher to react to the ball, this time may be even longer.
And what about Sawamura Eisumun, when he runs with all his might, he returns home plate from third base.
It's only a little over three seconds!
The chances are huge!
Therefore, the running instructor on the third base side decisively gave Sawamura Eisun instructions to move on.
Regarding the ability of his teammates, Sawamura Eijun has no doubts at all.
After receiving the code, he immediately rushed to home plate.
At this time, the outfielder who stopped the ball in the outfield naturally noticed the abnormal behavior of Qingdao High School.
"Look for death!"
The trolls may be a little lacking in other skills, but they have a lot of confidence in passing.
In the icy and snowy weather of Hokkaido, it was difficult for them to practice baseball systematically.
After all, when it snows, baseball doesn't bounce back at all.
As a result, a lot of exercises can't be done at all.
All they can do is practice passing and receiving the ball in this snowy weather.
Day after day, year after year.
Time can work miracles, and on a national scale, 60-metre long passes are not incorrect.
I'm afraid it's only Troll Oto High School.
For the rest of the team, Sawamura's safe on-base is nine out of ten.
But for the players of Troll Otomaki High School, it is not completely impossible to take Sawamura.
"Smack!"
With Sawamura still four or five meters from home plate, the baseball was passed accurately into Hasuji's gloves.
This sudden change made the audience on the pitch secretly speechless.
Some of them were a little less courageous, and even covered their eyes with their hands in pain.
They couldn't bear to see the picture of Qingdao High School's great opportunity wasted.
Of course.
Others' eyes widened with excitement.
For example, Daocheng Industrial and Saiho High School, which may be rivals with Seido High School.
They looked at the embarrassed appearance of Qingdao High School with high spirits, and their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
It's so enjoyable!
When have you ever seen Qingdao High School so embarrassed?
It's just so enjoyable.
The friends of the baseball club of Qingdao High School naturally don't have such idleness.
They were so nervous that they forgot to breathe.
Home plate position.
The showdown between Eijun Sawamura and Renji is underway.
After receiving the ball, Renji blocked the whole person in front of home plate.
The muscles of his whole body were mobilized, and as long as Sawamura Eijun passed by his side, he must touch Sawamura's body with his gloves.
Come on!
Renji didn't back down in the slightest.
Sawamura Eijun himself has no intention of backing down.
He rushed over in a daze, looking like he wanted to rush Lotus directly.
Lose your marbles!
The referee on home plate opened his mouth wide with nervousness.
Collision is the most conventional attitude in professional baseball.
But in high school baseball, it's forbidden.
Sawamura, he won't forget that, right?
Of course, Sawamura Eijun has not forgotten this, and the reason why he did this is just to attack the west.
As he approached Renji, his body twisted into a spinning top.
Then, at an incredible angle, he avoided the gloves that Renji touched and killed.
One hand touched the home plate bag steadily.
"Safety!"
At this moment, the audience was boiling.
"Qingdao! Aodo!! ”
"Sawamura, Sawamura !!"
Those who were timid were scared before, so they blindfolded themselves with their hands.
Now they simply don't understand, what just happened on the field?
But the results speak for themselves.
The score on the field was 3:2, and Seido High School reversed.
In the ninth inning, in the final moments of the game.
Qingdao High School, which has been performing poorly, has finally risen to prominence.
Served as a raider and took the lead in taking hits.
Immediately afterwards, Eijun Sawamura and Kazuya Miyuki scored consecutive hits to help the team reverse the score in one go.
Now the score on the field has become 3:2.
Seido High School is in the lead.
A huge sense of powerlessness pervades everyone in the troll Datengjuan High School.
In today's game, they led by a full eight games.
Seeing that he was about to take the victory into his pocket, he didn't expect to be overturned by the people of Qingdao High School at the last moment.
Their players all looked like water, and their faces were very ugly.
Their superintendent, Nitta, opened a pair of eyes with a fierce light in his eyes.
The score of 3:2 lasted until the second half of the ninth inning.
In the process, Hakushu hit the infield rebound ball.
Blocked out.
In this way, the game came to the bottom half of the ninth inning.
