Chapter 100
After the exchange of offense and defense, Maki sat on the rest chair behind him with a decadent face, as if he didn't want people to see his expression at the moment and sat blankly with a towel on his head.
"What are you doing, why do you end up throwing a curved ball, isn't it supposed to throw a straight ball? As long as you don't let the opponent have a long fight, you won't continue to lose points. Hino, you go to warm up and be ready to play at any time. ”
"Yes....."
"If there's a case, I'll replace it with a real wood right away."
Hearing the somewhat unkind words of his own supervisor, his teammates in the rest area hurriedly whispered to comfort Maki,
"Don't take it personally, Maki, you know how the Overseer is at this time."
"Just plug your ears."
"It's only six points off, and we'll call back in a few moments."
"Leave it to us, you are very different from usual today, and we can feel your courage when we guard behind you."
Hearing these words from his teammates, Maki's eyes, which were still a little blank, suddenly lit up. At this time, the Ukai overseer said slowly,
"I heard it all."
scared the two teammates,
Today's real wood is indeed very different from usual, and it is because of this that the last game is even more regrettable. ’
"Listen to me, this game will immediately counterattack and pull the situation back to our side."
"Yes...."
"I'm really going to please, hurry up and score and stand up for the real wood." ’
Kawakami, who stepped on the pitcher's hill in the sixth inning, played very steadily, although he was usually a little fragile inside, but according to the overall score, he was indeed ranked at the forefront of the Qingdao pitchers.
In the face of the valley with better known intelligence, Xianquan didn't score much points, let alone a pitcher in a submarine position like Kawakami, just adapting to it required one or two seats, plus the man who squatted at home base was called the 'Blue Road Savior'.
It's not like the monotony of the ball for the valley.,Miyuki and Kawakami can be said to be like a fish in water.,Happily playing the opposite beater.,But the opposite side won't make Aomichi too easy.。
Although there were one or two catches of the ball that was hit, there were also a few balls that were played very tricky, and there were still runners on base.
When it was the turn of the opposite ace Maki to strike, the situation on the field was that there were people on first and second base, and two outs. Maki, who had been sitting in the rest area and thinking for a long time, came to his senses with the comfort and support of his teammates.
He looked at the light gray baseball uniform on his body, and then saw the baseball uniform of Aodo on the field, he had made a mistake from the beginning, so he started to make up for it from now on.
In the face of a big guy like Maki, Miyuki's choice of ball is the inside corner low ball that this kind of hitter is not good at, and Maki, who is engrossed, ignores Miyuki's ball.
In the face of the inside corner kick that flew violently, Maki took a step back slightly, and used the way of fishing to scoop the ball to the outfield, Sakai ran towards the back, and the ball was far-reaching enough.
Just as Maki was running the base with all his might, suddenly there was a burst of cheers,
"Out !!!"
"Ahh!!!hh Maki ~~~~"
At this time, the running Maki looked up, at this time the baseball had fallen out of bounds, and he knew what was going on from the performance of his teammates and spectators, but Maki himself looked incredulous, and when he came back to his senses, he had stepped on three base bags and returned to home plate.
The teammates who had returned to base before all rushed up to hug him, and they heard a real Mu Mu Ne
"Out?"
"Uh-huh, it's out, Maki."
"It's a home run."
"You're too strong, you originally said that I would help you get the points back."
The joy of Sensen High School contrasted with the gloom of Aodo, and Miyuki, who was standing on home plate, suddenly shouted a timeout and came to the pitcher's mound, and the teammates who were guarding also surrounded him.
"How's it going, Kawakami, are you still awake?"
"Don't worry, it's not your mistake."
"The ball itself is not bad."
Listening to everyone's comforting words, Kawakami's face, which had been gray because of that home run, also improved a little.
"Well, I'm fine, I'm just a little confused."
"I had a problem with the ball just now, the ball itself and the ball path are not bad, I was too eager for quick success, and I wanted to suppress the real wood in the strike zone."
"Oh~~"
Looking at Miyuki, who took all the responsibility on himself, Kawakami's mood was much better, not because the responsibility was not for his own reasons, but because of the comfort and tolerance of his teammates at the first time at this time.
"Then let's get rid of the next beaters, we can do it, Kawakami."
"Ah, leave it to me."
Looking at Kawakami, who had a good face, Miyuki originally wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought that with Kawakami's personality, he might reluctantly agree with him, and suddenly he remembered an incident he had trained before, and then grabbed Kawakami's right hand.
Kawakami looked at the hand that was suddenly held, a little stunned, not understanding what Miyuki was doing.
"I want to feel your temperature so I can make sure you're still nervous."
Kawakami's attention only allowed him to hear the first half of the sentence, because after that, this guy Miyuki actually made a ten-finger interlocking movement.
The shy and shy Kawakami instantly blushed his cheeks, but at this time, the natural flirtatious Miyuki actually came to say,
"Well, my hands are not icy, so I don't seem to be nervous."
The members of the Uchino garrison looked at the scene in front of them speechlessly, if this was a man and a woman, it would be very beautiful, but two big men holding hands there or interlocking their fingers Don t you feel shy, Miyuki.
After confirming Kawakami's state, Miyuki, who didn't have the slightest self-awareness, let go of his hand and turned back to home plate, with his back image of a scumbag who was thrown away when he ran out. Kuramochi looked at Kawakami, whose flush on his face had not yet gone down, and patted him on the shoulder,
"Thank you for your hard work, Kawakami, be strong."
"Come on!"
"Woo-hoo."
"Poor boy ......"
Kawakami, who was stimulated by this, completely forgot about the home run just now, so it can be regarded as a crooked hit.
Kawakami, who was added a strange buff, succeeded in getting rid of the next hitter and stopped the loss of points from continuing. When Kawakami and everyone ran back to the rest area, they saw the face of the superintendent, and their footsteps stopped outside the rest area.
"I'm sorry, Overseer."
Superintendent Kataoka didn't reply to Kawakami's words, but just looked at him fixedly. It wasn't until he was about to cry when he saw the river that he opened his mouth flatly,
"Let's go for the next game."
"Yes!"
Xianquan's momentum rose after chasing back three points in the last game, and Maki's state also rebounded quickly, and he scored three strikeouts one after another.
However, because Kawakami also suppressed the opposite hitter very well, when Rongchun came on the court in the first half of the eighth game, the score was 7--4.
When the friends were about to get impatient with waiting, Rong Chun finally came on the court to pitch.
