EP61 Winners and Losers (Part I)
After leaving in the car at the fire palace, Shiichi hurried back to the court, and the second quarter-final game was about to begin.
"Really, where have you been, General?" Agni grumbled.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just went to answer a phone call......" Shiichi lied.
"Are you at peace now?" Coach Kusakabe asked, "If so, let's give it our all!" β
"Yes!"
- In the quarterfinals, if you win, you will be in the semifinals, and you will be able to go one step further than the year before......
The opponent that Chengfeng High School faced today was Ishikawa Prefecture's Qianghao Xingliang High School, an opponent that had never been faced before.
When he first entered, Shiichi already felt that this team was different from the other opponents he had played before. And when the game entered the bottom half of the first inning, he realized what this anomaly was.
That's right, it's a support song. I didn't feel it when I watched the live broadcast on TV, and it was the first time for Shiichi to hear such a powerful cheering song at the scene.
As a result, @ the starting pitcher Shimosawa or the guards in other positions may have been shocked by this formation, because they were too nervous, their movements were deformed, and they quickly lost 2 points. Fortunately, after losing 2 points, everyone finally found their form and gradually adapted to the interference of the support song.
"Hey, is this the top wind club in the country? Awesome! Compared to them, our support group is so poor! Agni said with a smile.
"If our musicians are willing to help, you will be content, we are a public school, where can we get the funds to organize a support group of that size!" Shi Yi said coldly, "And the current support group is also the current scale that the manager has through the coordination of all parties, should you work hard as a 4 stick, thank you for your efforts?" β
"Makes sense!"
[Fly out!] Yangchun home run! The 4-bat Nakano caught the ball very accurately and blasted the ball straight onto the scoreboard! Chengfeng High School pulled back 1 point, 1-2! γ
Shikichi originally thought that as the first hitter, he only needed to get on base in this inning, but he didn't expect the fire to hit a home run directly, and when he said that, he was really pleasantly surprised. But the more surprising thing for him was not over.
[This goal is also quite far-reaching, the left fielder is back, back, still backing!] Give up the chase! Riding the wind high school consecutive home runs! 5 bats were also hit by a home run! After two consecutive shots, the score became 2-2, and the two sides returned to the same running line! γ. br>
Equalizing the score so quickly was something that Shi Yi didn't expect, he only felt that Agni and Waiguan were really much more competent than him as the central batter.
However, it was impossible for Xingliang High School to admit defeat like this, and then let the ace Kaji go to the board and did not let Chengfeng continue to score. In the next few innings, South was replaced as a relay pitcher, and the score of 2-2 was not broken, and it was like this until the ninth inning.
[In the first half of the 9th inning, the two were out of the second and third bases, and it was Nan who was the captain and ace of the 1st baseman who stepped up to the table to see if he could bring any changes to the situation on the field......]
Before the game started, Shiichi already had a hunch that there would be such a moment today.
- In that case, we must not bury the team's efforts like we did two years ago!
Xingliang High School's pitcher formation is indeed strong, and the previous three rounds of hitting only allowed Shikichi to hit one hit. However, there is absolutely no room for error this time, because now he is the captain of Chengfeng High School.
- If you can't grasp such an opportunity, then you are really not a man!
[Hit out!] The ball pierced through the three tours! Both third and second base runners returned to home plate! 4 to 2, Chengfeng High School takes the lead! The batter also went to second base! Riding the wind high school hits a timely second home run! γ
Nishizaki also hit a hit in the second batsman, returning Shikiichi to home plate, and the balance of victory seemed to be tilting in their favor.
However, since the opponent is the famous script madman in the second half of the 9th inning, I am afraid that all the viewers are also looking forward to what will happen in the second half of the 9th innings.
However, I'm really afraid of what's coming.,The second half of the 9th innings after getting two outs.,The wind direction.γ @
Change is still coming. 4 Bat Hosoya hit a second home run from the South, and then strategically threw four bad shots to put 5 bats on first base. Nanbu originally wanted to concentrate on dealing with the captain of the 6th base, Kamiya, but he didn't expect Kamiya, who was fighting against the water, to hit the ball and let Hosoya return to home plate, and the score became 5-3. At this time, the cheering song in the stands sounded again.
[There are still 2 points left in the point difference, two outs, one or three bases, the hitter is 7 bats Suwa Division, Hoshira High School wants to seize this opportunity to see a reversal in one go, and on the other hand, Chengfeng High School is desperate to solve this beater, which side will the balance of victory fall towards? ] First base runners are on! The pitcher throws the ball to the outside...... The shot was too far off, and the catcher didn't catch it! The runner on third base took the opportunity to run back to home plate, 4-5! The difference is only 1 point! At this time, the first base runner also went up to third base! γ
- No, such a test is still too big for the south, which is only in the first grade......
[At this time, the coach of the lower part of the Japanese department finally sent Ace South to the pitcher hill, but it is still a crisis situation of a one-hit deuce, can this crisis survive? The number of balls starts with a bad ball, and the hitter is still 7 bats Suwa Division. γ
- I'm E from Chengfeng High School, and I'm the patron saint of this team, and I must lead this team to victory!
At this time, although the other party's support song was still very noisy, Shiiyi's heart sounded "Don't Admit Defeat" by the ZARD band.
[First shot!] The pitcher jumps up to catch the ball! Ball...... Got it! The game is over! Chengfeng High School's ace Nan only used one goal to end this game! 5 to 4, Chengfeng High School advanced to the semifinals of Summer Liga for the first time! γ
- Relieved! I did it!
It's not the first time I've won, but the joy of a successful rescue has made Shiichi excited.
- You must be watching all this from a corner somewhere, right?
[According to the results of the draw, Chengfeng High School will be ranked in the first semi-finals......]
***
At the start of the afternoon game, it was almost two o'clock, and this match was played by Genkaze International against Wakayama Strong Ho Chiomin Academy.
- The last sentence that Warrior Xiaolu said yesterday was obviously a look of confidence. So how many dice did they get yesterday?
Shikichi kept guessing the score, but the game seemed to be going in an unexpected direction.
First of all, the @starting pitcher of this game was not ace Shiratori, but Harry μΈ William, a sophomore. Although William's ability is obviously inferior to the ace Shiratori, he still suppressed the line of Zhimian Academy by relying on a steady defense. What really surprised Shiyi was that Xuanfeng International's playing line seemed to suddenly become dumb, and he couldn't score for a long time, and the game fell into a pitcher war.
In the second half of the 7th inning, Xuanfeng International replaced another pitcher, Assad, who looked like he was from the Middle East from the name and appearance. Shi Yi felt more and more that the existence of this team was already incredible.
