Chapter Ninety-One: An Unstoppable Home Run
In the second half of the eighth inning, the freshman attacked!
The score on the field was still 14:4. Since the sixth game, the freshmen have been on fire and have won three points in a row.
Until now, no one, whether it is a freshman or an old student, has been able to score any more points.
The situation was thus deadlocked.
When it comes to the tacit understanding and comprehensive ability of the whole team, the veteran team actually still has a little advantage.
But this advantage has been flattened out because of the difference in strength between the pitchers.
In short, neither team was able to bite the score off the other. This continued until the eighth game, when it was the turn of the new top-level line.
Ito, who played the first bat, absorbed the previous lesson, and this time he swung the baton very decisively.
"Ping!"
The white ball was shot out and landed on the second base.
The second baseman of the old team rushed to the baseball landing point non-stop and copied the ball.
Then it went to first base.
"Out!"
Ito, who was in the strike zone, could only grit his teeth secretly, but he was helpless.
Compared with the star players around him, there is still a certain gap between his strength. Originally, when everyone did the practice test together, it was not too obvious.
But once the game is actually played, there is no way to cover up that gap.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison, and this kind of thing is best explained in the game.
"Out!"
As soon as the game is out, no one is on base.
In the face of the surprise attack of the new team, the old team was not to be outdone. They used very tacit cooperation to make up for the shortcomings in their strength.
Played well with the freshman team.
In the rest area of the freshman team, Yui Xun, who was about to play, and Wang Xi, who was about to play, glanced at each other.
Although the two didn't say anything, their tacit understanding had already made them understand what they meant to each other.
Just the senior Kaneda on the pitcher hill, although he is low-key and powerful, is not impossible to deal with.
What really made them feel tricky was after Kaneda cooperated with a perfect garrison.
The kind of good defensive rhythm that has been formed.
The pace was too good and I was completely in control of the initiative on the pitch. So much so that the new players are not scratching their heads at all.
"It's not going to go on like this!"
Yui smoked ambitiously stood on the strike zone.
They also did some research before today's orientation game. For example, in last year's orientation match, because of the addition of senior Esumi Sawamura, the freshmen played very well, and the climax was 3:0.
Despite the overall score of 18:3, the abuse of the freshman team was unbearable.
In the period after Eijun Danimura came on the field, they played to the advantage.
These newcomers, who are determined to surpass Sawamura Eijun, of course, can't watch their predecessors specialize in the front, so they also want to play to the advantage.
Since they came on, the score was 1:3 and they were two points ahead.
But that's not enough.
If they want to surpass Sawamura, they will have to come up with more visible data.
Even from the score alone, they did not catch up with Sawamura Eijun. Not to mention, they are not alone in their struggle.
Around them, there are a lot of powerful friends.
If in such a situation, the gap in the score cannot exceed the gap created by Senior Eisan Sawamura at that time.
They also feel dull on their faces.
Be sure to find an opportunity to hit the ball out and create favorable conditions for the little friends who are about to hit the field.
With this in mind, Yui Xun stared intently at the pitcher mound.
Kaneda didn't let him wait too much either, and the white ball was quickly thrown.
From Yui's point of view, he quickly discovered the change of the old guard's lineup.
It's action!
Realizing this, Yui Kamino feels that his opportunity has come.
By postponing the bat, he forcibly changed the direction of the baseball.
"Ping!"
The ball, which was supposed to fly to third base, was knocked over the shortstop's head.
Good!
For his own performance, Yui Xun himself is still very satisfied. He spread the bat in his hand and was ready to throw it to first base.
Not only Yui himself, but also the old students who watched were also surprised.
"This little guy actually changed the direction of the baseball by delaying the baseball. It seems that he is not only good as a catcher, but also quite good as a fighter. ”
Yukiichi also pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said.
Kuramori next to him muttered.
"Flower fist embroidered legs!"
In fact, he didn't feel it in his heart. As a member of the baseball club of Seido High School, of course he hopes that the team can have some strong rookie players, but when such players actually appear, Kuramochi's feelings are still very complicated.
Not beat around the bush.
The point that has just been done by Jing Fumi, Kurachi can't do it.
In this regard, the freshman on the pitch has surpassed himself.
It's no wonder that Kuramochi will have mixed feelings.
Seeing that the small white ball was about to fly out, a figure suddenly jumped up at this time.
The figure's feet were nearly a meter above the ground, and when it was suspended into the air, its body fully stretched. He used the gloves in his hand to stop the ball.
"Smack!"
After the baseball stopped, it didn't hold it right and fell to the ground.
However, the figure was also quick to react, and after landing, a lunge rushed forward, picked up the ball, and passed it to first base.
This set of actions is done neatly and neatly.
It wasn't until he finished all this that everyone could see his face clearly.
This person is none other than the veteran guerrilla Takatsu.
"Handsome!"
"Takatsu, Takatsu !!"
It's been a complete frenzy in the rest area of the old team.
Even Sawamura Eisan gave a thumbs up to Takatsu with a smile on his face.
Today's Gaojin is definitely open.
Usually, although this guy is quite powerful, it is definitely not as terrifying as it is now.
Now he can't be described as powerful, it's just not good.
Kanemaru and Tojo in the corner.
They looked at each other in surprise.
"Was this guy's previous garrison so strong?"
Kanemaru's tone was mixed with a bit of sourness.
Tojo, who was next to him, said thoughtfully.
"We have all been promoted to the first army, and he is the only one who remains in the second army. Think about the past year, he has also experienced a lot of things! ”
At the beginning, the three of them were the three biggest newcomers in the team except for Sawamura Eijun.
The three have their own strengths.
Tojo is pitching! Takatsu is a blow! Kanemaru is a garrison!
Life's opportunities are different. Tojo and Kanemaru were promoted very early. After the third-year seniors retired, he even became the main rotation player on the team.
Takatsu, on the other hand, took a different path.
He still stayed in the Second Army, silently working hard. Now its position in the Second Army is second to none.
beat several powerful third-year seniors and became the fourth stick of the second army.
The body has become stronger, the force of the blow has come out, and even the originally slightly weak garrison has become more and more excellent.
"Fortunately, I am not in the same position as this guy, otherwise I may not be able to beat him."
Kanemaru thought bitterly.
Speaking of which, the guy's mood is also not calm. There are four stars in their year!
There are also two guys who were unknown before and came to the top.
To put it bluntly, there are only these six players who have made achievements in their year.
They are Sawamura Eijun, Akira Shibuyani, Kominato Haruichi, Tojo, Kanemaru, and Takatsu, who is still working hard in the Second Army.
Originally, Kanemaru thought that although he was not enough to be compared to the top, he should be more than enough to be compared to the bottom. But now it seems that he had overestimated himself before.
Unconsciously, he has become one of the most powerful players in the same class.
His hand clenched his fist tightly, and the unwilling Kanemaru secretly swore an oath.
You have to catch up.
Two outs, no one on base.
The old students used their own strength to defend their dignity.
The people around them are also optimistic about them and think they can hold the situation.
It was at this time that the unexpected happened.
Wang Xi, who stood in the strike area, waved the bat in his hand at will, and hit the ball out stiffly.
"Ping!"
The white ball fell into the gap between the guards.
"Safety!"
Wang Xi naturally ran to first base.
Two out, one on first base.
Wang Xi's personal strength is strong, and it has reached the point where people are speechless.
The pitching of Kaneda, the garrison of the Second Army. It's like it doesn't exist in front of him.
In the rest area of the old team.
Sawamura shook his head with emotion.
Although there are many amazing guys in this class of freshmen.
But if you really want to say the first place, whether you like it or not, it must be Wang Xi.
At this time, it was formed that stood on the strike zone.
After the formation, it was Hirota, who had won a home run.
Faced with such a situation, Kaneda did not choose to back down. Instead, he chose to go head-to-head with his opponent without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
In the process of pitching, Kaneda used all the strength in his body to put on a posture that he must take out his opponent.
Kawashima-senpai had solved the knot before, so in this case, he could too.
The formation of the general division in the strike zone gives people a very calm feeling.
Who knew that under his calm appearance, there was a fiery heart.
I watched the little white ball come to my eyes.
The general waved the bat in his hand.
"Buzz!"
As the bat swings, the low air is like thunder, and people feel caught off guard.
The hunting ground in the trapper's position felt as if the air in front of him had been emptied.
I have to say that this newcomer's swing is still very scary.
However, as long as he is not allowed to hit the ball, it doesn't seem to be particularly difficult to solve him.
"Ping!"
The little white ball was hit and flew high.
The hunting ground, which was originally relatively calm, was directly dumbfounded.
How can it be?
The ball just now obviously didn't hit the center of the ball, how could it fly out of the court?
No matter how hard he struggled to accept, the facts speak for themselves.
The white ball flew out and became a two-point home run.
