Chapter 162 The game after the rain

Talking about the preview of the final is just wishful thinking of some people. The strength of the two teams is already relatively obvious.

However, even if the strength is a little worse, there is still a chance of winning, and the accidental nature of baseball is no joke.

Especially last night, it rained a little, which once again increased the variables on the court. Both the grass and the sand were a little damp, and the impact on the fielding was not clear!

Since Sawamura lost the guessing game, Chicheng attacked first!

When the two teams appeared on both sides of the court, the audience gave a warm cheer!

Followed by warm-up exercises...

“I didn’t expect that in a short period of time, the relationship between us and Chicheng would be reversed.

However, if you don't play this thing once, you won't know the result.

Last year they were able to almost eliminate us at an absolute disadvantage, so let's show them our perseverance! ! ! "Before the game started, Coach Kunimi on the sidelines lectured the players!

"Hi!!!"

……

And the other side!

"Um, Sen-chan?"

"Ok?"

"Say something! The other side is full of fighting spirit!"

"That's right! You have to win!"

"...!"

"It's too easy!" Sawamura shouted!

"Then, defeat them completely!"

"Oh!!!"

"Line up!!!"

"Go!" Coach Kunimi said when he saw the referee's voice!

"Hi!!!"

"Let's go!!!" Sawamura shouted from the other side!

"Oh!!!"

……

"In the first half of the first game, Chicheng Middle School's attack!"

"One hit! Shortstop, Ohno-kun!"

"One hit! Shortstop, Ohno-kun!"

"Sa, the game is finally about to begin! Standing in the strike zone now is Ono-kun, the pioneer and shortstop of Chicheng Junior High School!

In recent rounds of games, Chicheng's batting rate has improved somewhat! So let’s take a look at the opening offense and defense!

ah! nice shot!

Tokugawa caught the first ball without any testing!

A good shot!

Second goal!

Hit!

But..., the ball is weak and out!

The ball was hit as an infield fly ball and out! "

All right! Ohno, who was mentioned by the commentators, was defeated with two goals in his first game!

After that, Aoki's first pitch was a vertical slide ball, and after chasing the ball, he struck out with a straight ball!

Kondo, who had three sticks, was also quickly taken down, and Chicheng's start was in vain!

Tokugawa is completely different from the teams they played against before, so this result is natural!

After successfully winning three batters at the start, Horii breathed a sigh of relief, and then glanced at Sendō in the dugout with fear!

But at this time Xiandao had turned around, leaving him with only a back!

The game has just started, Xiandao will not take this kind of thing to heart!

Sawamura, who is full of firepower, is not easy to mess with.

You must know that Sawamura has been adhering to the explosive menu provided by Sendao since the fourth grade of elementary school. With so many years of running, his lower body is extremely stable.

Even if you can't control the ball accurately, you can still control the approximate position by entering the strike zone.

The average speed of the ball is about 130 kilometers, which also makes Tokugawa's linework very troublesome!

At least the current Sawamura's ball speed will not be weaker than that of the previous generation, but the soft ball is just a little faster.

Even Team Zhe said Sawamura's ball was tricky, not to mention Tokugawa's line play, which Takashima Rei didn't like very much.

The same three outs, but more cleanly!

And the real main event begins!

"In the first half of the second game, Chicheng Middle School's attack!"

"Four sticks!!! Catcher, Sendō-kun!"

"Four sticks!!! Catcher, Sendō-kun!"

The broadcast had just finished, and the Tokugawa players also felt the pressure as if they were playing an away game!

After all, in baseball, heavy hitters are more popular!

The particularly immortal one not only possesses the attack power of a heavy artillery hitter, but also maintains a high ability to grab points, making the opponent look like a nightmare hitter, and the audience is naturally even more frightened!

In this terrifying atmosphere, even the Tokugawa ace who has experienced many battles is constantly adjusting his breathing.

Even Takashima Rei showed some emotions inadvertently!

Especially when the catcher squatted down, the cheers from the audience doubled!

"Huh! Don't throw the ball wrong! There is no runner, and you can't stay away from him at the beginning. Test this guy's condition first!" Horii gave the signal with a serious and cautious expression.

“The eye-catching first ball! Made!

Bad ball! Clearly cheap outside corner ball!

Sendō-kun didn't swing the bat! "

second ball,

"Ping!"

"Hit!!!

The vertical sliding ball after being low was hit!

This ball is very far!

"

"Ping!!!" The ball has already flown into the stands!

"The outside world!"

"Pity!!!

Just a few dozen centimeters away is a home run!

But Xiandaojun really likes to hit the opponent's winning goal!

From Sendō-kun's appearance to now, many home runs have been the opponent's winning shots! "

"Ha!!! It scared me to death! It was just a little bit worse!

This monster! ! ! "Horii glanced at Xiandao who was standing in the banquet area speechlessly!

Then he didn't squat!

"Sure enough, we can't compete! We almost hit a home run just after reaching the winning pitch!

In this state, there is no way to continue the battle with Xiandao Lord. This is the right choice!

It reminds me of last fall when Sendō-kun walked off the bench for the first time.

No one understands him, or even understands why he hit that home run as a substitute.

The one that hit was Kanda-kun’s vertical slide! "Seeing the arrester stand up and escort him, the commentator started talking about other things to spend this boring time!

"Bad ball!"

"Four bad balls!"

"Okay, Tokugawa Junior High School walked Sendō, and the next batter, Sawamura-kun, enters the ballpark!

Sendō-kun's stolen bases and Sawamura-kun's bunts, the combination of these two is very strong.

It is also the most stable scoring method in Chicheng Middle School!

oh! Tokugawa Junior High School adopted a forward defense! "

"Steal a base!"

With the first pitch thrown, Sendō naturally stole the base!

The opponent knows it, but they just can't stop it, so all they can do at this time is to get a good number of balls!

And it just rained last night, so there was an opportunity to crack this unsolvable combination.

Sure enough, something happened at third base with no one out!

Although there was no bunt failure, there was something wrong with the place where Xiandao stepped when he was running the bases, causing him to take one step every day!

The ball was caught up by the defense as soon as it hit the ground! In the end, Xiandao was blocked by home plate!

The sincere Sendozawamura combination failed to score for the first time!

Although Sawamura was on base, Kanda suppressed the subsequent batter, leaving only Sawamura's base!

In the second game, it was Tokugawa's turn to attack, and an accident occurred again. He hit a fast ground ball with four sticks, but it was not handled well!

The four-bat pool went straight to second base!

Afterwards, Wubo Jiangchuan's ball bounced irregularly. The bounce on the court after rainy days was really unstable, and Chicheng's experience in this area was seriously lacking.

The result was a direct loss of two points!

These two points boosted Tokugawa's morale, and then both sides became more cautious, and the game began to get anxious!

Sendao's second time at the bench was already in the fourth inning, and it was two outs!

The already frightened Tokugawa surrendered, but still did not have a decisive battle with Sendao, not to mention that with a two-point advantage, they had already seen the possibility of victory!

In the end, Chicheng still failed in the fourth game!

The team's disadvantage inspired Sawamura's determination to lead his teammates. Tokugawa, not to mention extra points, couldn't even get on base!

After Chicheng lost points due to his inexperience in the first game, Sendao reacted quickly and asked others to defend more cautiously. They must block it with their bodies and then pick up the ball!

In subsequent attacks, Tokugawa was unable to get a hit.

Although Chicheng got a hit, he couldn't connect!

However, Akasei still managed to score one run from Tokugawa through intermittent hits and the cooperation of runners and batters.

Even Takashima Rei couldn't find any fault with Chisei's tacit cooperation. Just competing in skills, I'm afraid not many high school teams can achieve Chisei's level!

Not to mention the tacit understanding between everyone is incredible!

So the two sides entered the seventh game with a one-point difference!

One run difference, but the leadoff batter started with eight at-bats.

"Ping!"

"Hit it! Eight-stick Takada hit it!!!

The ball flew very far, and Tokugawa's fielders were retreating crazily!

Will you enter? "

"Snapped!"

"Out!"    Finally the ball fell close to the sidelines!

If it's farther away, it's still a long hit route even if it's not a home run!

However, there are no ifs in the world, life and death are just a moment! This is competitive sports!

"Nine bats! Right fielder, Takeda-kun!"

"Please! Ashin!"

"Come on!"

The game has come to the last minute!

If you lose, summer will end!

"You xia! Come on!"

Ashin was so passionate for once!

If you don't fight now, when will you wait?

"Snapped!"

"Good ball! Batter out!"

However, the reality is cruel, three goals and three strikes!

“I didn’t expect that today’s game would unfold like this! Our winning substitute broke the deadlock in the second game and was actually ahead until the end!

After experiencing a defeat, Tokugawa Junior High School avenged its humiliation with only one out! "

Of course, the commentator will not specifically mention the venue issue, luck is also part of the game!

Sometimes a fly ball is even blown into a home run by a gust of wind! Who can explain this clearly?

But, can this make everyone in Chicheng admit defeat?

They also have reasons why they cannot lose! ! !

"Calm down! Ohno! Can you just watch Sendao and hit the court like this?

No, absolutely not!

Absolutely can't lose!

I will never accept this kind of thing! asshole! ! ! "After two outs, Ohno, who had been staring at Xian Dao, was persuading himself while talking to himself, and stood on the strike zone with a desperate will!

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

“First goal inside corner!!!

The batter watched! ! ! "

"Throw the next pitch here, and if he takes it, finish it off with a slider!"

After picking up the secret code...

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

The second ball is a bad ball for a bad ball!

"Didn't you take action? Yalu! Can you still watch the game seriously at this time? Then!"

"The third ball! Throwed!"

……

"Yo Xi! He took action! Turning here like this!"

……

"No turning?"

"Ping!"

"Shortstop!!!"

"Bang!" Then when the ball landed, it bounced irregularly!

On the field after the rain, the ground ball is too easy to bounce irregularly!

Tokugawa finally tasted the possibility of rainy days!

"safe!"

"In the top of the seventh inning, with two outs, the situation ended as soon as one out was struck. The batter, Ohno-kun, came on base!!!"

"well!!!"

"It starts now! It starts now!"

"The game starts with two outs! Reversal them!!!"

The Chicheng bench banged the railing and shouted excitedly after this hit!

And some quiet venues also rang out with huge support again!

At this time, Sendao called Aoki to the sidelines!

No one knows what Xiandao said.

but,

"Ping!"

"First pitch out! Long hit line to right field!

Landed!

The right fielder missed a catch! The ball bounced irregularly again! "

Originally the hit was in the same direction as the runner, and was at most a one-base hit, but because of this irregular bounce, it turned into a two-base hit!

“At this point, it’s extremely hard to get an out number!!!”

With no one on base and two outs, it dramatically changed to two outs and runners on second and third base!

It's the center hitter's turn!

"Three bats, second baseman, Kondo-kun!"

"Three bats, second baseman, Kondo-kun!"

Chicheng's line play still continues to put pressure on the opponent!

It can be said that now we have reached the final moment!

It’s all about willpower!

Chicheng's linebacking is still not able to perfectly capture Kanda's ball. If he can throw a threatening enough ball, the outcome is still uncertain!

But now his biggest enemy is himself!

His own ability to withstand stress! ! !

In fact, Kanda is indeed Tokugawa's man with the ace title!

At this time, he had extremely strong fighting spirit!

"That's good! Let's have a showdown with them!" Horii laid out his gloves!

First goal! ! !

"Ding!"

"???"

"bunt?"

Planned by Sendō, Kondo's sudden bunt broke everyone's imagination!

Two outs and the infield fielding is still backing up!

An infield retreat with two outs would have been the right call.

However, I never expected that someone would bunt when the game was about to end with one out!

"safe!"

Bases loaded! ! !

"Ah!!!" Kondo screamed wildly after hitting the base!

Not only that, the stadium exploded!

With one run and the bases loaded, the batter was that man!

It doesn't get more exciting than this!

When two were out, everyone thought Chicheng was going to lose!

Kanda was in very good condition and Ohno didn't have much chance to get a hit!

But the result was always unexpected. The rainy venue allowed Tokugawa to lead David and Goliath until the end. Unexpectedly, Chicheng was also given a chance to comeback in the end!

And who would have thought that the bases would be loaded when it changes hands!

The batter was still the man who had been evaded for the entire game, Xiandao! ! !

The fans of Sendō in the field cheered heartily and kept walking the bases loaded!

But, to everyone’s surprise!

Tokugawa Junior High School still chose to recommend!

At this time, everyone realized that the hitter behind Xiandao had no ability to hit at all!

It's better to have the same score than to be reversed like this!

　The last stop with Tokugawa did not contain as much content as everyone thought.

　　The strength of these two teams no longer allows for a close and fierce battle.

　　But no one probably thought that the Tokugawa War would be a way to advance the plot!

　　All the fierce battles with Tokugawa in the past two years were for standing here sincerely and reasonably.

　　Now that Tokugawa is standing here, there is no use for him.

　　After all, the decision to change Sendō that I mentioned has nothing to do with Tokugawa.

　　Finally, let’s ask for votes.
