Diamond Ace Takanono

Chapter 229
"Bad ball!" The first ball was a slider that turned to the outside corner, and the hitter didn't have the slightest aura of attack.

On the second ball, Hayakawa put the glove on the low inside corner, "This ball needs to be thrown to the edge, if you can get a good number of balls, you can force the hitter to hit the bat." '

"Huh—" Facing Aidou's four sticks, Hirano couldn't help being cautious, but luckily he believed in the catcher's gloves.

Stepping out, he tossed the ball to the batter's inside corner, and then saw the batter start without hesitation.

'What? Hayakawa's mind was flustered. This guy guessed that it was a pitch that grabbed the ball, so he shot it without hesitation.

Fortunately, Hirano didn't hit the limit where the catcher wanted. Miyuki couldn't pick up the low straight ball, and just pulled it out of bounds.

"The outside world!"

Although the process was different from what he had imagined, it was Daoshi who got the ball.

'Miyuki seems very confident. '

'Not good, almost hit an infield grounder. '

The catchers on both sides wiped off a cold sweat.

Things are going well and bad right now, and the showdown at home plate continues.

"Strike!" Miyuki thought that Hayakawa, who had already grabbed a strike, would throw a lure again at this time, use trick swings to get the number of strikes, or simply hit a grounder and get out.Unexpectedly, this time it was a straight ball from the outside corner.

"Haha, you've grown up too." After leaving this unclear sentence, Miyuki took the next ball, forced a shot, and hit the ball over the shortstop's head.

"Safe!" Miyuki stepped on the base bag, looking back at the slightly dazed rice catcher at the home plate.

'But you still can't escape the original imprisonment, Hayakawa, the chains of the past are still tied around your neck, as long as you don't break free one day, I will be able to see through you one more day. 'Two catchers are, in a sense, two completely opposite types, one who cares too much about his style, and one who cares too much about his pitcher's comfort.

Standing in the strike preparation area, Takano was not surprised to see that Miyuki struck out again, "This guy's recent strike rate seems to have increased horribly. Could it be the captain's pressure?" '

"Time!" Hayakawa interrupted the tense situation and came to the mound.

"Just now, the opponent has a better skill, so don't be nervous, let's deal with the next person." The next person, if you only look at the batting average, doesn't seem to match his position as a center liner.

The former garden and Miyuki on the base bag quietly exchanged glances, but even if they didn't see their plan, they could roughly guess it.

Take a run first, but the condition is to steal a base now, or hit it out.

To be on the safe side, Miyuki moved a little.

But then, there was a sudden check from the pitcher. Miyuki jumped to the base and stood up. Before he took two steps, the pitcher on the mound had already thrown the ball quickly.

'Oops! 'Miyuki immediately ran to second base.

At the same time, Qianyuan put out a short stick, "Bang——"

Nervously, the ball was tapped to the front of the mound, and there was Hirano who immediately dropped the pitch.

He just took one step, got the ball, and then turned around and flicked the ball in one go, almost like a shortstop action.

"Wow--" There was an uproar in the scene, because the pitcher turned around and threw the ball in the direction of second base.

There, Baihe had been waiting for a long time, and the ball was passed into the glove very accurately, just like it was trained in countless practices.

Immediately afterwards, the second baseman Inaoshi quickly reversed and passed the ball to first base.

Amidst the smoke and dust, the referees at both places made judgments, "out!"

"out!"

"double play!"

Miyuki slapped the second base bag and got up annoyed.

Qianyuan lowered the brim of his hat, and his teammate's difficult hit was interrupted by a nervous failure.

Anyone with eyes can see that the ball just now was not clicked well, and the force on the ball has not been completely removed.

The ball that led to the bunt bounced before home plate, bounced high, and rushed straight into the pitcher's glove.

"Two outs!"

The momentum of the rice is greatly boosted.

There was a suffocation of cheers from Qingdao's side, and then under the leadership of Eijun, it became stronger again.

"My lord brother, fight it out. For your own sake, fight it out!"

"Yes...Gao Jun, come on!"

' Long-winded! 'Gao Zhiye passed by two frustrated guys and didn't get any explanation.

Walking to the home plate, he briefly saluted the referee, and his eyes collided with those smiling eyes under the mask.

'Unexpectedly, we actually met in the game. 'As if infected by that smile, Gao Zhiye couldn't help smiling.

But then, the sudden shadow of the ball broke the happy scene at home plate.

"Bad ball!" Hayakawa's cautiousness in distributing the ball fully shows that he is still in a serious mood.

And Gao Zhiye didn't move, which also proved that he didn't relax because of this encounter.

'Tsk, what a troublesome guy. After a year, the voices of the cast and arrest were synchronized again.

"Peng——" Sensing that Inomi wanted to grab good shots, Gao Zhiye destroyed all the good shots that missed the edge, and at the same time kept an eye on the unreliable bad shots to let go.

After a few balls, the ball count is full.

'Is this guy trying to force Mingsang out? Hayakawa vaguely sensed what the other party meant.

Gao Zhiye understood his mission very well, of course he was the first to score, and following closely, he just delayed the pitcher for a while.

With excellent follow-up ability, the pitching stalemate in this round was reached to thirteen balls.

The pitching tempo of the pitcher is noticeably a little faster.

In order to stabilize the pitcher's mood, Hayakawa took a longer interval between the signals, and at the same time opened his hands to appease the pitcher.

'Don't worry, it's because it's the last strike, so you can't worry. '

After hitting more than a dozen balls in a row, Takano gradually got used to the pitcher's pitching, "Walk or hit?" '

When the ball came out of the pitcher's hand, the hitter finally became firm, "Of course it was hit, and the first base walked was still too far away from the home plate!" '

"Bump—" It was an outside corner kick, and it was sent flying by the strong arm of the hitter.

Far behind the right fielder, the Seido bench was boiling.

Takano launched his explosive legs, stepped on the first base bag, and then turned to the direction of second base.

"Go go!" yelled the first baseman, pointing to the left.

"Pa—" By the time Baihe received the ball, Gao Zhiye had already stood on the base bag.

"I ran very fast, but there will be no next time." Dao Shi's second baseman spoke gloomyly.

Both sides understand the meaning of this sentence, and it is estimated that after this round of blows is over, Cheng Gongming will play, and Qingdao's blows will naturally be much more difficult.

But this has nothing to do with Qingdao now. Takano on the second base and Lang Chi who came up nodded, 'I'm ready to hit home plate and score, you have to hit farther! '

'Damn it, you always give me a lot of pressure behind you! 'Lang Chi clenched his bat.
