Chapter 135
Haruichi Kominato, who has been playing as a substitute since the beginning of the qualifiers, is still the first to lose, holding a broken stick picked up from the strike zone, and his expression is unknown.
In the first half of the fourth inning, it was Tamba, the ace of Qingdao, who stepped onto the pitcher's mound. Because Supervisor Kataoka made clear the strategy of the follow-up investment, Miyuki did not stay behind, and asked Tanba to fire at full power from the beginning.
Tamba, who is in the third year, has been in an unstable state at the beginning, and after the freshman pitcher joins in the first year, he has super motivation and has no worries, so his condition is getting better day by day.
In the face of the hitter, Tamba's first ball is a strong longitudinal curveball, as a famous stunt, Tamba's operation of the curveball can be said to be skillful.
'Wow, what a change, is this Tanba's longitudinal curveball?' It's completely different from Aguan's..... But the ball power is much weaker! ’
"Bang!"
'Ah, this time it's a pity, but it's also very good, but I've rarely shot in the previous games, so it's a pity. ’
Shibata, the six batter in the strike zone, perked up and focused on the next pitch. Looking at the curveball flying again, Shibata swung the bat and hit the ball out,
'Not good, not accurate....'
Dropped the bat and ran towards first base, but Ryosuke Kominato wouldn't let him succeed so easily, quickly moved to the landing point, caught the ball and passed to the first base's knot to block the runner.
"The curveball and the knuckle ball are more varied, because I didn't throw a straight ball at me, so I don't know if the straight ball is weak, but the three balls look good."
"Understood."
Hiroki Tajima, the stalwart of the seven sticks, replied seriously when he heard the information given by the previous stick, and then walked towards the pitcher mound with a menacing attitude.
As the No. 1 player in the country, Kiryu Osaka has a very good physique from one to nine batters, and just standing in the strike zone can bring a lot of pressure.
Just as intimidating as their physique is their terrifying swing of the bat, and the sheer force of their power makes it rare for them to suppress their power.
It's like Tamba's pitch, the variation is enough, and the ball power is not bad, but even so, Tajima's swing of the seven bats flew far enough even if it didn't hit the center of the ball, but fortunately he hit high, and Hakushu in the right field could easily win this goal.
The order came to the eight-batter shortstop Kamo Sora, who was not good at playing the change ball, but relied on his strength to sweep all the balls that were not good to play out of bounds, and the number of balls was entangled into three bad balls and two good balls.
Both sides of the pitch were chased, and after a few more entanglements, he finally let Kamo wait for a straight ball that was easy to play, and he directly smirked and hit the ball out.
Tanba turned his head as he watched the baseball track and found that the ball had slammed into Koshien's scoreboard.
"Get out! Kiryu Osaka scored the first home run of the game, and hitter Kamo Sora-san scored the fifteenth home run of his life. ”
"After looking at the data, I have to say that Kiryu Osaka's shooting line is strong, from front to back, almost everyone has a lot of home runs."
"Yes, as a famous family with an average back lift of more than 180 in all employees, Osaka Kiryu can be said to be the first in the country."
"So what kind of strategy will Seido come up with to deal with such Osaka Kiryu next, to be honest, I'm looking forward to it very much."
While others were happy about Kiryu's home run in Osaka and Seichi was worried about Tanba's state, Tanba was not as uncomfortable as others imagined.
Ever since Seongdo's teammates had a special training on his mental qualities and had been hit by a home run by a pharmacist's first-year hitter, Tanba had seen it.
A talented and hard-working first-year can hit a home run, and Tanba understands that as long as he is on the field, it will not be a strange thing to be hit by a home run.
Although he was won by Osaka Kiryu's lower line, Tanba, who has a 'Buddhist mentality', did not take this home run to heart, and now he is more concerned about how to solve the next hitter and not give Osaka Kiryu a chance to take advantage of the trend.
Seeing Tanba with clear eyes, Miyuki's nervous heart relaxed,
'Damba-senpai has finally grown into a real trump card, I'm sorry, Tanba-senpai, I apologize for the previous rudeness, your efforts and your persistence will eventually bear fruit. ’
After that, the nine-batter was solved with the joint efforts of Tamba and Miyuki, looking at the high flying ball at home plate that was hit high, Miyuki squatted up slightly, and with a force on his left foot, the whole person pounced, caught the ball, and under Tamba's roar, won the last number of outs in the fourth inning.
"Good pickup, Miyuki!"
"Cast beautifully, Tanba."
"Well done!"
"Oh~~~ Tamba-senpai and Miyuki-senpai are so wild, very handsome, wild duo."
Tamba and Miyuki, who were inexplicably grouped, looked helplessly at Rong Chun, who was very hi in the cowshed,
'I really don't want to hear about Sawamura's support....'
Sawamura's Chinese doesn't seem to be very good, so let's remind Chris seniors that surprise tutoring may be good. ’
Rong Chun, who was concerned by the two, suddenly shuddered, and Xiao Minato Chunshi, who was accompanying Rong Chun to practice casting, saw Rong Chun's small movements, and cared,
"What's the matter, Rong Chunjun, I'm not feeling well."
Hearing the words of Kominato Haruichi, even Chris and Kawakami looked at Rong Chun, who crossed his arms and said,
"I always feel like I'm being targeted by something strange..."
"Probably your delusion, Rong Chunjun."
Rong Chun retorted with a serious face,
"No, there are definitely people who have bad intentions towards me!"
Saying that, Rong Chun also looked around cautiously, investigating the situation, and the three people present were speechless.
Well, let's think of it as Sawamura's daily illness. ’
Chris and Kawakami, who were busy practicing throwing, didn't pay attention to Rong Chun anymore, only the shy and gentle Xiao Minato was pulled by Rong Chun to find the 'bad guy'.
"Rong Chunjun really hopes that you can practice throwing well, don't do anything moth...".
When Rong Chun was nervous, Kan Guangmei had already won two outs, and as the game progressed, Guan Guangmei's condition was getting better and better, and she even hung a terrifying smile.
In the fourth game, Seochi did not score points, and Kiryu Osaka entered the fifth game by a slight margin.
In the fifth inning, Kiryu Osaka kept hitting hits, and although he relied on the defense to win a number of outs, there were still two runners on the base.
Osaka Kiryu's hitter looked at Tanba with fierce eyes, and the cheered up Tanba barely intercepted Kiryu Osaka's line after losing two points.
