Chapter 111 Results (two in one)

"After the outside corner comes the inside corner! What's the next ball? Inside corner or outside corner? Now it's a good ball, what's it going to be?

Calm down, Ohno, don't think too much. Sen-chan said that thinking too much will slow down your swing speed. If you swing empty because of this, you'll be doomed! "After the foul ball, Ohno kept trying to calm down.

At this time, the pitcher is ready to throw the third pitch.

"call out!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!" This ball is a bad ball from the inside corner.

"You're really observing carefully!"

"call out!"

"Outside corner!" After seeing the path of the ball, Onfield's foot on the outside side of the ball moved directly forward.

"Ping!"

"Hit!"

"Passed it!"

"well!!!"

No one could say a few words at the moment Ohno hit the ball, but there was no doubt that it was a beautiful hit!

Ohno took advantage of this hit that passed through the infield and came up from the outfield to reach second base.

"Yo Xi! There's someone in the scoring circle without out!" At this time, Chicheng Junior High School collectively raised one arm to cheer for Ohno, and a few wolf howls sounded from time to time. Since the last time Xiandao loaded the bases and homered, Chicheng's little team has formed. got used to.

"Keep going! Aoki!"

"One hit! Please Aoki!"

Everyone will not forget to cheer for the follow-up hitter.

"Left hitter! I didn't realize that there was no runner in front of this hitter before. This guy's skills are really troublesome when there is a runner in front of him!" Tokugawa's catcher also had a headache for Aoki. It can be seen that Aoki left him with a runner today. deep impression.

"play!"

After correcting the password,

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"It's a bad shot again! Is he so scared?" Seeing another bad shot from the outside corner, Takada, an idiot, asked in confusion.

"No, their pitcher is at his limit! He was really bothered by us to throw a lot of balls in this game!"

"Then just replace him!"

"It's because I can't change it!"

"Why?" This time Sawamura suddenly intervened and asked.

"pressure!"

"Hey?"

"The final score was 1 point, and they felt the pressure and thought they might lose!"

"That's why we should make a substitution! Isn't that pitcher at his limit?" At this time Wakana also joined in!

“Under this kind of pressure, can a relief pitcher withstand the pressure and complete his original pitch?

Once it fails, the game is over. Japan's ace atmosphere means that the experience of the substitute pitcher is not too high. Although junior high schools have pitching restrictions, it will be no problem if it is not a double game a day.

Most teams use the bench to pitch some ordinary games to consume the number of games, but they do not have the ability to determine the outcome of such key games.

Our county’s schedule does not include double games on one day, which means that it is no problem to leave it entirely to the ace. "

"I see! Does that mean they were also pushed to the limit? We are indeed very powerful!" Sawamura said with a clear mind.

"Baga! That's just the debt they owed for observing your ball." Xiandao hit him on the back of the head angrily.

Xiandao, who was chatting with everyone, had already given a secret signal.

"Aim for the inside corner, right? Then the attack range has been narrowed again. You can choose one of three straight balls, sliders and bad balls. Is it actually just one of two choices of straight balls and sliders?" Aoki was right. The opponent has reached this level, except for the winning ball. The slider and other change-ups are no longer dared to be thrown, and with a sincere level of observation, it is difficult to deceive them with bad pitches from exhausted pitchers.

"Ping!" Sure enough, Aoki picked the inside corner and hit it out, and there were people on the first and third bases.

"Yo Xi!" Aoki yelled from the base bag!

And everyone once again extended their arms in celebration.

"This is simply the worst result. It's hard to deal with these three bats in this state. Do you still have the strength?" Finally, the catcher gave a ball signal and wanted to ask the pitcher if he could still throw!

Tokugawa's ace nodded decisively, joking, if not now, when will he? He is Tokugawa's trump card!

But having said that, pitchers still perform squatting and relaxing exercises on the mound.

"You, xia!!!" Finally he shook his arms and shouted.

"bring it on!"

So the head-on confrontation with the three-bat hitters began.

"Snapped!"

"Strike!"

"What happened suddenly?" Kondo became confused when he saw the outside corner ball entering the strike zone.

"He is indeed Tokugawa's trump card. He can still pull himself together at this level. This spirit is worth learning!" Sendō said with a chuckle.

"Don't worry, watch the ball carefully!" He immediately told Kondo to continue waiting.

"Although I am asked to aim for the inside corner, if there is a good shot, I will not let it go!" Kondo touched his helmet to express his understanding, and at the same time he also had his own thoughts in mind, such as acting.

"Ping!"

"Foul ball!"

Kondo hit a pitch that entered the strike zone right out of the corner.

"That's it, Kondo, aim for the ball but also learn to hide your true thoughts." Sendao secretly praised, it can be said that besides Aoki, Kondo is the most attentive to hitting.

At the same time, the most comfortable thing about the match between Sendō and Tokugawa is that the opponent's coach knows nothing about him. Like the opponents he encountered before, Seiwa, Sakura Girls, and Tomei, they are very careful because of the big mouth of Coach Nakanishi.

Tokugawa obviously didn't think what tactics Chicheng would use, and with Sendō's deliberate concealment, they didn't even know the tactics were used.

At the same time, the players on the field felt that time was extremely slow. Kondo felt this way when he looked at the pitcher who kept shaking his head. Every second would feel long.

Kondo became nervous when he finally saw that the secret signal was finally confirmed, but he was not nervous. You must know that yesterday, as the only person who hit the Sendō ball, even though the ball was in the center, it was a very straight ball. The ball will be easily caught if defended.

But compared to the straight ball of the pitcher in front of him, Xiandao's ball is infinitely better, so he has no reason to be nervous or afraid. This is also the reason why Xiandao gave them military training yesterday. I hope it will help a little bit. These help will be in the end The situation began to show itself among the partners.

Both Ohno and Aoki got hits thanks to Sendō's work as a hitting pitcher yesterday and all the time.

"Phew!" Finally the third ball hit home plate.

"Inside corner kick!~Huh?"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"What a...what a risk! I almost swung at the slider."

When the strike ball is far dominant, the pitcher uses a slider from the strike zone to the bad zone in the hope of tricking Kondo into swinging the bat. Also, Akamai is a style of play that does not raise his legs and can keep an eye on the ball until the end. Coupled with Kondo's observation skills... pass!

"Tch! Have you been seen through? You really can see clearly! But then you probably don't want to swing at the inside corner! Come on and finish him off with one ball!"

however,

"Ping!"

"Left field!" The catcher didn't have time to think about anything else and could only instinctively remind left field!

"Yo Xi!" Chicheng's bench boiled.

"well!"

"Oh!" "Ah!" The runners on the base also shouted in different voices while running quickly.

Even though Tokugawa's fielding pass was smooth, Ohno easily returned the base, and Aoki and Kondo also entered second and third base respectively!

Ohno, who had just returned to base, raised his right arm and shouted to the bench. Sawamura in the preparation area excitedly went up to high-five him!

"Ten points!" The Chicheng bench celebrated wildly!

After high-fiving, Sawamura turned around, pointed his left thumb at himself, and raised his chin!

"How about I spend a lot of money on you? Home run!"

"Don't be impulsive! Baga!" Xiandao cursed secretly in his heart, but his body was very honest and secretly sent out signals!

"Na..."

"Nani! You actually let me bunt?"

Even if he hits a beautiful bunt that rolls along the first base line, even if he is allowed to bunt every time this happens without exception, Sawamura is still the same Sawamura, as if he is resetting his computer and feels that his bunt is incredible!

"First base!" Seeing that there was nothing he could do, the catcher had no choice but to give up and give Chicheng a run.

Although he was prepared, Sawamura's bunt was so beautiful that it rolled close to the first base line. The first baseman could only go crazy to catch the ball and only the first baseman could relieve it. Everyone could see that he was waiting for him. The ball was caught and the runner on third base had already returned.

"Yo Xi! Reversal! And there's still one out and someone on third base!"

"Ouch!!!"

"Ouch!!!" I was so happy that I collectively howled like a wolf!

Of course, except for Sendō and Wakana, these two people felt so ashamed!

……

I was so happy that the referee came to urge me and let the game continue!

At this time, the opponent will still be alert to force points. In fact, they have done a good job. The last ball was Sawamura's bunt that was so good and unnatural that there was no way!

There is only one short game genius like Sawamura, and the rest have to be normal!

The five-hit Takada entered the strike zone normally, and the opponent's infield immediately became nervous.

The casters used secret codes to briefly communicate, and finally decided on the same ball type.

The Tokugawa ace threw the first pitch without wavering!

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Huh? It's not forced to score points? What on earth is this team thinking? (This sentence has a layman's tone, as if you have done something wrong, what are you doing!)" At this time, the catcher or Coach Tokugawa never thought about the psychological tactics this amateur team was playing.

Second goal!

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Sure enough, I'm on alert to force points, and I only dare to throw the ball with all my strength. If I do, I will lose the ball control again!" Xiandao said with an expression as expected. After he looked at the opponent's catcher, it was really easy to understand.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"The number of balls is full!" Sawamura's mind suddenly flashed with an idea.

"Ha! Ha! Ha!" Tokugawa's ace kept breathing heavily!

"It's a showdown!" At this time, the pitchers and catchers reached an agreement on the last ball, and the ball came roaring.

Then his face changed drastically!

"Forced points? And also when the number of balls is full?"

"Ding!" Since Takada swung the bat seriously and made two strikes, once the bunt hit the boundary, he was directly out, so the infield had already retreated. After all, Takada is a heavy and powerful hitter.

"First base!" the catcher said almost with grief and anger!

"Snapped!"

"Out!"

"Safe!" In the end, Kondo at third base also returned. In the final inning, he chased three points in a row, which made everyone in Tokugawa unbelievable!

Coach Kunimi, who saw something bad, decisively called a timeout and sent a messenger up.

The batter behind is not easy to deal with either! At least judging from Ace's current state!

"If I had known, I wouldn't have let him vote for so long yesterday!"

What Chicheng didn't know was that Tokugawa had played a practice game yesterday, and he was also the ace pitcher. The lack of physical strength could not be entirely due to Chicheng's entanglement. It could only be said that they were too careless, thinking that Chicheng was just an ordinary school, not To think of such great progress.

No one knew what the messenger said, but the look in his eyes as he looked at the opponent's ace became much firmer.

"What should we do? Immortal way?" Sawamura panicked!

"I don't know!" Xiandao answered very simply.

"play!"

……

"I didn't expect us to be in a tough battle today! But we won't just give up!" the pitcher thought in the pitching center.

"Strike!"

"Nani? His slider can still enter the strike zone?" Kondo exclaimed on the bench!

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"You left as soon as you said it?"

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Ping!"

"The outside world!"

"Being chased!"

"Chasing him!" The two teams thought to themselves at the same time, and the atmosphere became tense again.

"This is the end!"

"Snapped!"

"Strike! The batter is out! Change the field!" The last ball profoundly showed the ace's self-esteem and fighting spirit!

"This is ACE!" Sawamura's eyes sparkled!

"Okay! Don't look at others with sparkling eyes! This is the end! Is today's game auspicious? Or is it unfortunate? It all depends on you! Come on! ACE!" Xiandao persuaded.

"ACE!" What a happy picture.

however,

"Hahaha! Xiandao, you finally admit my existence! As expected! Hahaha!"

……

"Hurry up and get on the court!" Seeing Sawamura showing off his power in front of him, Sendō couldn't stand it anymore and kicked his butt and sent him into the court!

……

It’s getting closer to noon! I just arrived at the game and it seems like it’s still playing in my head!

"It really scared us to death. Too scary? The attack in the final game! We are indeed the strongest team in Nagano! If you hadn't observed the ball in the early stage, I really couldn't have beaten you! I'm so lucky today!"

"Hmph! How could we let the game end like this? We are Tokugawa!" After the game, people from the two teams were chatting excitedly. Only Chicheng seemed to be excited.

"We will win it back next time!" Tokugawa's ace said this without much explanation!

"Yeah! Let's compete again!" Sawamura replied excitedly.

Yes, Chicheng won. The opponent lost by one point due to various reasons such as fatigue from the previous day, observing the number of balls, underestimating the opponent, etc.!

In the final round of attack, Tokugawa exploded with announced attack power. Knowing Sawamura's characteristics, they also began to stand at the front holding short bats and pursue accurate strikes.

But after all, they could not ensure an accurate hit. For them, the ball was already very fast. After recovering one point, and with someone in the circle by stealing a base, they hit a high fly ball to catch the ball.
