Chapter 135: Qingdao Road vs Shoshosha (4)
"It's a pity, Dong almost hit a 2-point home run just now, and it was because the previous joint practice consumed too much physical energy."
"So why do you want to play a practice match with a first-class team like the Shoshosha just after the joint training?"
The people watching from the outside of the stadium chatted and did not understand the arrangement of Kataoka's supervision.
After Higashi Kiyokuni ran to second base, Daiki Murasuke, who came on behind him, got tangled with pitcher Kitayama a few balls and hit a left fielder, and he used it to run to first base while allowing Tetsuya Yuki to successfully return to home plate to score, narrowing the gap between the two sides in the score.
Although the score between the two sides is now 7:4, Takashi Fujii, who played behind Daiki Mumurasuke, was unable to pose enough threat to the shooting of the Shoshosha because of his own very poor condition, and finally could only choose to send Dong Kiyokuni back to home plate at third base with a touch sacrifice to score another point, and he was blocked out of the game.
After that, because of the seven-stick Ota Hiroshi was knocked out by Kitayama Sanzhen, the Shoshosha got the last number of outs in the first half of the eighth inning.
"Senior Eight Gods, it's time for us to play." With the help of the team, Kuroza Naoya, who had changed into the catcher armor, said to Yagami Yagami, who had been sitting there motionless just now, not knowing what he was thinking. Yagami got up and picked up the ball cap placed next to him and put it on, and walked out of the bench behind Kuraza Naoya, "Kuraza, I don't want to lose any more points." ”
Hearing what Senior Yagami said, Kuraza Naoya nodded solemnly and said, "Me too, senior." ”
After walking to the back of home plate and squatting, Kuraza glanced directly at the Yagami senior standing on the pitcher's mound, pondered for a moment, and then gave him a code.
Yagami nodded, raised his legs, took a step, waved his arms, and threw the baseball in his hand with all his might.
"Whew!"
Kenta Doi, the third baton of the Shoshosha club, swung the metal bat in his hand hard, but he didn't expect to miss the swing, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew through the home base zone at a faster speed than he expected, and flew into the catcher's open ball sleeve.
"Bang!"
Kendai Doi was a little surprised by the pitcher's re-outburst, but he didn't expect that it was already the second half of the eighth inning, and the pitcher's ball power and ball speed had returned to the level of the previous three innings.
Superintendent Okada, who was in the rest area of the Shoshosha, also noticed the change in Yagami's momentum, and immediately sent a secret signal to Kendai Doi, the hitter at home plate, "It's really a good seedling, but it's a pity that it's not your own team, so you have to hit him hard!" ”
After receiving instructions from Superintendent Okada, Kendai Doi, the third baton of the Shoshosha Society, began to change the grip of the stick and made a movement to prepare for a short fight. Kuroza frowned at the sight of the three-batter's movements, and he made a short shot when there was no one on base, and his goal could only be to exhaust the pitcher's physical strength as much as possible. The problem is that Kuraza Naoya has no way to make a corresponding target, so he can only compare his code to the senior of the eight gods, and ask for a bad ball to try first.
Yagami could more or less guess the thoughts of the hitter, waved his arm, and threw the baseball in his hand according to the code given to him by Kuroza Naoya, and then ran down the pitcher's mound as soon as the baseball flew away from his hand and flew towards home plate.
It's a pity that Kendai Doi has already seen that the baseball thrown by Yagami Night is a bad ball, and he saw the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound speeding in front of his eyes, and he didn't have the slightest intention of swinging the bat. After running a few steps, Yagami had no choice but to return to the pitcher's mound and take a stand, take the baseball passed back to him from Kuraza, and look at Kendai Doi, who was back in a short-play posture next to home plate.
Kendai Doi made it clear that he wanted to use this way to consume the little physical strength that Yagami Ye had left, and after getting two good balls and two bad balls, all the balls Yagami Ye threw would be swept out of bounds by him, and Yagami Ye ran around in the area between the pitcher's mound and first base, and the momentum that suddenly became strong at the beginning of the game has been gradually worn away by Kendai Doi.
……
"It's full, and the pitcher's physical strength is obviously exhausted by the beater, why don't you make a substitution?"
"yes, I don't know what Superintendent Kataoka thinks?"
The crowd on the periphery of the stadium was full of discussions, and the Qingdao players in the Qingdao rest area could hear what they were saying. 130 balls, this is the first time since the senior Yagami transferred to Qingdao that the number of balls has come to one hundred and thirty before the game is over, not to mention the current lack of physical strength, it can be said that if it is not for his own youthful nature, plus his whole person is boiling and passionate, he can fight to the end regardless of his physical injury.
Kuroza Naoya has been accumulating the number of shots thrown by the Eight Divine Seniors, and naturally he knows that he can't last long, and he can't continue to spend it like this with the Shoshosha beater.
The hitters who were beaten by the Zhengshe Club kept hitting hits and getting to base, not only the Yagami seniors who were pitchers, but also the seniors who guarded other positions...... Their running speed also slowed down. So he asked the referee for a timeout, called the seniors who were guarding in the infield to the pitcher's mound, told them what he thought, and after gaining the approval of the seniors, he returned to the back of home plate and crouched again.
Kuroza Naoya glanced at Fujii, who was about to hit the game, and when no one was out and there were people on the first, second and third bases, the possibility of losing points was very high.
However, since Senior Yagami is the same as him, he doesn't want to lose any more points, so let's gamble!
first looked at the three runners on the base, and then looked at the current state of the pitcher Yatheon Senior, and then compared a series of codes to him.
The defenders in the infield, the first baseman and third baseman, took a few steps forward and made a forward stance in the direction of the hitter, while the shortstop was ready to rush to third base and block the runners running from second base behind; Yagami on the other side nodded, and turned his left hand, which was holding the baseball, behind his back.
After Naoya Kuraza set up the ball cover, he motioned for Yagami to throw the ball.
After taking a few deep breaths, Yagami raised his foot, waved his arm, and threw the baseball in his palm at the position of the Kuraza Naoya ball cover.
"Whew!"
The baseball that flew out of the pitcher's mound flew like a white light towards home plate, and Fujii, the sixth baton of the shoshosha, swung his bat vigorously and knocked the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound out.
"Ping!"
It's a short game as Naoya Kuroza envisioned, and in the case of full bases, no hitter will give up a short game that allows his side to score easily.
After the third baseman Tetsuya Yagami threw the baseball out, he immediately ran in the direction of the home plate, caught the baseball that flew upside down after being hit by the beater, and then immediately waved his arm to the catcher Kuroza Naoya, and then Kuroza Naoya passed to the shortstop Fukuda Taro who had already run to third base to step on the base bag, blocking the four basemen of the Shoshosha Uchino who was running from second base.
At the same time, Fujii, the sixth baton of the Shoshosha Society, also successfully ran to first base; After throwing the baseball in his hand, Yagami Yagami who ran forward like first baseman Higashi Kiyokuni and third baseman Tetsu Yuki became clear on the field, and then turned around and ran back towards the pitcher's hill.
The current situation on the field is: two outs, one or two bases.
