Chapter 121

"Seven-batter right fielder Hakushu-san."

According to the consistent style of Qingdao, here we have chosen a safe way to send the base - short hit. Clever hitting, perfect routing, and an easy delivery to Chris to second base.

When Bai Zhou and Rong Chun passed by, they raised their arms and gave a high-five,

"Sawamura, send Chris-senpai back to home plate."

"Leave it to me!"

With a relaxed smile, Rong Chun came to the strike zone. Cheng Gongming was furious when he saw Rong Chun's appearance,

'If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, little ghost, the idea of wanting to dismantle my bones and swallow me in your belly is clearly expressed in your eyes. ’

"Bang!"

"It's not good, it's really worthy of being a senior in the palace, even if you are mentally prepared, the pitching is just as scary."

Compared to everyone's heart, Rong Chun likes to spread out on the bright side, and Harada didn't answer him anyway, and the referee couldn't have warned him because of a compliment.

may be because Rong Chun's previous three straight balls knocked Cheng Gong Ming three times, and Cheng Gong Ming had to defeat Rong Chun with straight balls at this time.

Although Cheng Gong Ming's straight ball is very powerful, but unlike Cheng Gong Ming, who doesn't know anything about Rong Chun, Rong Chun, who has made preparations, will not be easily killed by a straight ball.

Even if you can't hit a hit, you can still do it if you try your best to sweep the good ball out of bounds. After tangling a few balls, the smile on Rong Chun's face disappeared, and a cold sweat broke out under his helmet.

Harada, who realized that the time had come, played a secret signal to Narumi Narumu in the inside corner, and it was because of Narumiya's idea that he matched the ball so much, Narumiya Naruto naturally would not refuse, and he threw this ball very happily.

Rong Chun looked at the baseball flying over and smiled again,

"You're welcome."

When Rong Chun's soft voice reached Harada's ears, Harada reacted, but it was too late, as a pitcher, Rong Chun, whose arm strength was not bad, relied on the power of the soft waist twist to hit the ball hard.

"Phew!"

The ball flew deep enough to fly along the border of the left field, and it slammed into the fence of the left field with a "bang".

"There was a second-base hit that hit the left field rail, and I could see that the runner on second base came back to home plate around third base, and the runner scored another point in the seventh inning, and the pitcher with the No. 11 on his back was holding his arm high on the second base bag."

"Ahhhhh

"Ze~~Village~~~...."

At this time, the Qingdao stands were like crazy, although they knew that the scene in front of them was very likely to happen, but after really seeing it, they couldn't say anything except screaming.

Rong Chun listened to the sound of ghosts crying wolves with a confused face, which reflected a different reflection from what he imagined.

"What's the matter with you, give me a little more serious support!"

Looking at his own unhelpful partners, Rong Chun had no choice but to go out to support himself, and then a noisy voice sounded,

"Yo Xi Yo Xi Yo Xi... Yo Xi Yo Xi Yo West...."

Looking at Rong Chun, who was cheering for himself on the base bag, whether it was Qingdao's teammates or other spectators, they all let out a 'goodwill' laugh,

"Hahahaha, that kid is so cute....."

"Good fight, keep up the good work, hahahaha."

"Oh~~, come on, boy, hahaha...."

"Hahahaha, what are you doing, Sawamura..."

While everyone else was laughing, Inami's players couldn't laugh at it now, and it was the same in the last game, and it was the same in this game, and there were always hits, and they were beaten by the first grade in two consecutive games, and they were the first to face Narumiya.

The players of Inami all looked worriedly at the figure on the pitcher's mound with their heads bowed and slightly lonely. Cheng Gongming listened to Rong Chun's piercing "Yo Xi" sound in his ears, and the whole person was about to be brainwashed.

Cheng Gong Ming clenched his fists and turned to Rong Chun and shouted,

"Sawamura..., don't be too complacent, let's see in the next game!"

"Slightly.... I can't hear, I can't hear. ”

The referee looked at the boy who was pretending to be deaf and dumb helplessly, and if he couldn't hear it, don't answer him, but the work that should be done still has to be done.

"Classmates, don't communicate during the competition!"

"Yes~~"

In this way, Rong Chunzheng ignored the blazing gaze from the pitcher mound, and Cheng Gong Ming, who had been warned, could only turn around stupidly.

Harada is very happy that Narumiya is not depressed now, but it is too embarrassing to talk harshly to the opponent's first-year contestant!

Narumiya Ming, who was about to be full of anger, vented all his anger on the beaters who followed, and the nine-stick Menda seniors were knocked out of the game before, and Kuramoto worked hard to entangle a few balls, but he was still a step ahead of Narumiya.

Kuramochi and Rong Chun went back to the rest area together, and Kurachi, who was originally unhappy when he was out, had to endure the broken thoughts from Rong Chun,

"Ah, what are you doing, Kuramochi senior, it's rare that I got to second base and said, why can't I hit a hit....."

Cangzhi, who was annoyed by Rong Chun, stood upright, and slapped Rong Chun's brain door,

"It's noisy, be quiet."

"Ah~ah~,Kuramochi senior, you're just annoyed and angry.,That's not good.,You can't play with a child's temper like this.,No matter how you say it, it's ....."

As if he couldn't stand Rong Chun's canna, Kurachi turned his head and walked quickly to the rest area, ignoring the voice coming from behind him.

Rong Chun, who put the equipment back on the shelf, turned around and saw Kurachi standing next to him with a glass of water, his head on the other side,

"Here, hurry up and drink, it's time to go on the field."

Rong Chun took the glass of water with a smile,

"Thank you, Kuramochi-senpai."

Then he drank all the water and threw it into the trash can, and then he felt that it was dark in front of him, and a big towel covered his head, and then Rong Chun felt that someone was ravaging his hair back and forth, and then the voice of Kurachi senior came to his ears,

"You're in good shape today, right, then I'll win the next game, I can't support you in terms of blowing, but I will definitely not have problems in the defense, don't worry about letting them call."

The touch of the palm of his hand disappeared from his head, and listening to the footsteps of Kuramochi seniors leaving, Rong Chun pulled down the towel that covered his eyes, and saw the light again Rong Chun, who was a little dirty in front of his eyes but an incomparably huge number 6.

Rong Chun restrained his fake smile that had been smiling since the start of the game today, showed the brightest smile of the day, threw the towel in his hand on the rest, picked up the gloves next to him, rushed out, and threw himself on Cangzhi's back,

"Hahaha, Kuramochi senior, the words you said are too handsome, not like you at all."

"It's noisy, roll me down, it's too heavy...."

"No~to~, carry me to the pitcher's hill~"

"I'm annoyed...."

Although he scolded and scolded Kurachi, he still carefully carried Rong Chun to the pitcher's hill, and after putting it down steadily, he said cruelly.

"The next time you pounce like this, I'll give you an over-the-shoulder throw!"

"Hey, hey...."

Ignoring Rong Chun's silly smile, Kuramochi returned to his place and hammered his gloves a few times,

'Here I am!' ’

Rong Chun performed his own ritual before the competition - taking a deep breath and exhaling the last turbid breath, Rong Chun opened his eyes, and the flames were quietly burning in his big honey-colored eyes.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Three good balls, hitter out!"

The speedy Carlros didn't even have a chance to hit base, so he was able to look at the close first base and sigh.

Facing Bai He, who was very careful in his selection, Chris did not dwell too much with him, and used the subtle speed difference of the straight ball to guide Bai He, in exchange for a good number of balls, and finally finished with a carter ball.

Missed, Shirakawa could only watch as the baseball entered the first baseman's glove before he did.

Facing the three-batter Yoshizawa, Chris was paired with a carter ball on the first ball, and after being knocked out of bounds, the next ball was a low ball from the outside corner, which was brought in by the good ball.

And then just when everybody is nervous,

It's just a straight ball and a carter ball, so let's carry it out with strength. ’

Yoshizawa, who was aiming for the straight ball, swung into the air,

"Finger~~ finger forkball...."

Inami's rest area was quiet, and they didn't expect that in the eighth inning, this first-year pitcher from Qingdao would still have reservations.

"When we retained Ming's strength before, did the other party also retain their own strength?"

"Is this level only number 11?"

"That No. 11, Sawamura's straight ball is different...."

Bai He, who has rarely talked about pitchers with others, rarely opened his mouth, but the others looked puzzled,

"Just at that mat, the three straight balls he threw at me were not only different in the way, but also in terms of speed, the difference was so small that it was almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye."

"No wonder, I feel like I've seized the opportunity, but I always swing slowly or fast, or I don't hit the heart of the ball....."

"But is it really possible to get a straight ball out of three speed differences that are invisible to the naked eye?"

I don't know who suddenly said this, and the scene was quiet again,

"It's not possible, there's one in front of our eyes.... Alright, it's time for us to get on the field... Let's go! ”

"Oh~~"

It was the first time that the Inagi players, who were used to getting along with Narimiya, felt this kind of pressure on pitchers from other schools.

Do players from other schools feel the same way when they face Naruto? ’

But now is obviously not the time to think about this, it is already the ninth game, and the current score is 3--1, a two-point difference, and it is possible to catch it back, and it can't continue to expand.

Maybe it was because Rongchun gave Inashi too much stimulation in the last game, or maybe it was because of the physical exertion of Narumiya Ming in the ninth inning, Ryosuke Kominato, who came on the court, grabbed a sweet straight ball and hit it, and the second baseman who came to the landing point a step late could only watch the baseball bounce to the outfield.

Ryosuke Kominato took off his equipment with a smile and handed it to the runner next to him.

Even tigers get tired sometimes. ’

In this way, although Ryosuke Kominato, who doesn't often steal bases, also made a lot of small moves on the bases, one is a strong hitter who can hit any ball to the outfield, and the other is a runner who is ready to steal bases at the right time, and that inexplicable sense of depression has brought a lot of irritability to the Inami players.

Staring at Narumu's footsteps, the small minato connection was activated instantly, and he ran to second base with a whoosh.

"Bang!"

“safe~”

"That's amazing...."

"Isn't it almost out."

"It's in the ninth game, and Qingdao's offensive is still unabated, and it's still so strong."

Although he succeeded in stealing the base, it also extinguished Ryosuke Minato's determination to continue stealing the base, but at this time, the Qingdao rest area made a code, and Ryosuke Kominato and Izakiki touched the brim of their hats.

Discovering Qingdao's small movements, Harada at this time couldn't help but guess their motives at this time,

"Hit and run? Or what, are you going to steal third base? No matter how you say it, Qingdao won't be so bold....."

Harada looked at Kominato Haruichi at second base and found him staring at the base bag at third base.

No, it's still possible. Ming, throw a straight ball from the outside corner, the speed must be fast, and it doesn't matter if you throw a bad ball. ’

"Bang!"

After receiving the baseball, Harada immediately stood up, glared at the runner who was starting the game, and saw Ryosuke Kominato, who had no chance, and after trotting a few steps, he stepped on the second base bag steadily.

When Ryosuke Kominato saw Narumiya resume his pitching posture and quietly rubbed it out again, this deepened Harada's thoughts.

Then he asked Narumi Narumiya for a straight ball from the outside corner, but this time Izuoshiki didn't look at it and swung it directly. Then Ryosuke Kominato also started to rush to third base at the same time,

"Hit and run! Stalwart ....."

Although the distance of this ball was enough, it was still picked up by Carl Rose, but at this time, Kominato Ryosuke still managed to go up to third base, and he looked at Izawaki who was crying and mourning.

'Well, it's a beautiful sacrificial flying ball. ’

Passing by Izaki's side, the knot said lightly,

"It's a nice fight."

Then change back to Izaki's white eyes.

Every time it is time to form a fruit, the casting of rice is more serious and serious, and this time is no exception.

When you don't hang the ball, you stare intently in the direction of Cheng Gong Ming,

'What a nasty way to stay on the ball!' ’

Narumiya, who was full of anger in his heart, threw all his momentum with a baseball,

"Phew!"

In Narumiya's widening eyes, Yucheng threw away his bat and ran out,

“.... Go out.. Get out! The first home run of the game was a sorbet from Seido High School! ”

Haruichi Kominato, who easily returned to home plate, waited for the hero who had circled the field to return to home plate.

"Well played, A-Zhe."

"Well done to form a senior."

“......”

"It's really amazing, home run, ah~ah, it's rare that I worked so hard to steal the base, but you robbed all the limelight."

"Ahh Is that so? ”

Ryosuke Kominato looked at the combination of a dumb look after hitting the home run, and couldn't help laughing, maybe from an outsider's point of view, Qingdao's four bats feel unfathomable, but from the perspective of his teammates, it's just a downright natural stay.

A home run was hit, but the game wasn't over yet. Masuko, who was on the court, took advantage of Narumiya's current unstable state and scored another first-base hit.

Immediately after that, Chris broke through the second and third bases, creating a good situation with people on first and second base. The successive hits brought Narumiya to his senses, and now is not the time to indulge in the last defeat.

Although Hakushu hit a very fast and changing finger fork ball, the route and landing point were not good, just as they imagined, without exception, they were intercepted by the shortstops, passing second base to kill Chris, and passing first base to block Hakushu.

Rong Chun stood in the waiting area and glanced at the strike area regretfully,

"I'm still thinking about another point or two, well, but it's not bad..."
