Chapter 134: Qingdao vs Zhengshe (3)
"Tsk!"
Xiao Gu waved the bat in his hand, just now Yin Yin saw it and swung the bat, why did he suddenly wipe it at the end? Is the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound displaced inward?
Do you choose to swing a straight ball? Kuroza Naoya had already seen the path of the ball that Kotani was targeting, and he gave a new code to Yagami, and then moved a little distance outward.
Yagami nodded, took a deep breath, and threw a slider that slid from the bad ball to the good zone.
"Whew!"
Bad balls? Wrong. Kotani looked at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and hesitated, and by the time he realized something was wrong and wanted to swing the bat, it was too late.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
“twoout.“
Realizing that he was being targeted, Kotani turned his head to look at the catcher behind him, and Kuroza Naoya got up and took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and passed it back to Yagami on the pitcher's hill.
When Kendai Doi passed by Kotani's side, he asked him, "Why didn't you swing the stick in the end?" ”
"Because of the last ball, it looks like a bad ball." Kotani gave his own reply.
As soon as Kendai Doi walked into the batting area and stood up, he immediately made his own decision to swing his bat in the face of Yagami's first throw.
"Whew!"
So when he saw the baseball thrown by Yagami night galloping towards the pitcher's mound, he took a step forward and swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Ping!"
After the bats swung by the beaten person collided violently with the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound, it rushed out like a white light, flying high and far, leaving the Qingdao guards chasing it far behind, until it hit the barricade in mid-air, and was bounced off and smashed to the ground, constantly rolling.
"Oooh, home run!"
"Imai, what a beautiful job!"
The players of the main club were shouting happily, and Kendai Doi smiled and raised his arms to run around a few base bags, returning to the four clubs of the main plate and clapping in celebration.
Kuroza Naoya asked the referee for a timeout, then ran up to the pitcher's mound, covered his mouth with a ball sleeve and said, "Senior, the ball you throw is not heavy enough, so you can only give up part of the ball to increase your ball power first." ”
"Hmmm......"
Yagami pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement.
……
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
When Yagami came down from the pitcher's mound, he looked at the scoreboard behind him, and the score was 7:3.
Yagami took off his cap and raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his face with his sleeve.
I'm so tired, I feel like my whole left arm is almost gone.
After hitting a home run by Kendai Doi with a third batter from the shoshosha in the first inning, he hit a second base hit by the four bats in the back, but the readjusted Yagami Yagami allowed the Shinshosha five-batter to hit an infield high fly ball and was caught and knocked out, which barely ended the first inning.
In the second and third innings, Yagami successfully defended his own score with the cooperation of Kuroza Naoya and other garrison players, and maintained the score of Seido vs. Shoshosha at 0:1, but since the fourth inning, Yagami Night's pitches have been constantly beaten out by the hitters of Shinshosha, and he has lost a total of six points from the fourth to the seventh inning.
At the beginning of the sixth game, Naoya Kuroza had given up letting Yagami Yagami throw some balls with tricky angles, and instead asked him to throw more balls and paths that were popular in the United States but not very popular in Japan.
They are not to be underestimated, they are solid in defense and have few loopholes, and they are also very active in offense, and as long as someone gets on base, they will try their best to send runners back to home plate to score.
I have only lost seven points until now, and I really want to thank the third-grade seniors for constantly trying to save the ball, but because of the reason that the summer training has just ended, from the beginning of these two or three games, everyone's physical strength has begun to be unable to keep up, and the last two games, how many points do you have to lose to finish?
As Kataoka said before the game, no matter how bad Yagami throws, he has no intention of changing pitches, not only as pitchers, but also as players in other positions.
But it's really painful, this kind of game that can't be won...... Although the U.S. side pays more attention to the performance of individual players (except for major games) than the overall interests of the team, unlike the Japanese side, individual players should try to sacrifice for the overall interests of the team at all times, resulting in his concern about winning and losing the team's games is not as serious as that of other people in Qingdao......
No! Yagami wants to win, why do you have to think that you will lose?
The score difference between the two sides is only four points, and with the last two games, they still have a chance! Yagami clenched his hands and stared at the situation on the field.
Yuki Tanaka, the second baseman of the Qingdao Road, moved his arm for a moment, and then raised the bat to look at the pitcher Kitayama on the pitcher's hill, and the high-intensity training for a week made him sore, and the height at which he could usually jump easily was now very laborious, and the speed of running the base was much slower than before.
But they don't want to just admit defeat, if such difficulties can discourage them, then how can they dominate the country in the following summer.
Yuki Tanaka looked at the baseball that was hurtling from the pitcher's mound and swung the bat vigorously.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
The metal bat collided with the speeding baseball, but unfortunately the baseball swept by Yuki Tanaka only touched the bottom of the flying baseball, a high flying ball in the infield, and Kendai Doi, the catcher of the Shoshosha, immediately got up and chased it, and then successfully caught the falling high flying ball.
“out.“
Tetsuya Yuuki, a third bat at Ayoki who came on after Yuki Tanaka, swung his bat for the third time and hit an outside corner thrown by Kitayama, pitcher of the Shosho Society, and ran to first base.
When the green baseball and the four sticks Dong Qingguo came to the court, the situation in the first half of the eighth inning was a favorable situation of one out and someone on first base.
"Captain, come and get a big shot!" This is what Yagami yelled at.
"Dong, hit it directly!" This is what Takashi Fujii shouted.
"Senior Dong, come on!" This was shouted by several second-graders from the First Army.
……
In the cheering and cheering voices of the Qingdao players, Dong Qingguo waved the stick in his hand without hesitation in the face of the first ball thrown by Kitayama, but unfortunately the swing failed.
"Tsk!"
Dong Qingguo straightened his big belly, waved the bat in his hand, turned his head to stare at the North Mountain on the pitcher's hill, and made a gesture waiting for the blow.
will be beaten out by the Qingdao beaters! Kitayama, the pitcher of the Shosho Society, had such a feeling, and after successively rejecting several codes given by the catcher Doi, he reluctantly nodded in agreement.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
Despite this, the baseball that Kitayama threw to the low position area in the inner corner was still vigorously knocked out by Dongqingguo.
"Boom!"
The baseball flew upside down at a faster speed than it had come, until it fell to the ground grazing the edge of the seine net.
While Dong Qingguo shook his head in disappointment, he did not stop, still running the base at his fastest speed; At the same time, Tetsuya Yuki at first base also took advantage of this to rush to third base and enter the scoring circle.
One out, there are people on second and third base, which is a good situation that Qingdao has not had before.
