"Time!" Miyuki paused again and met Furuya's confused and nervous eyes, as if to say, 'How could I be wrong? '
"Haha, it's okay. I'm here to remind you to wipe your sweat." By the way, the pitcher deliberately extended the pitcher's pitching rhythm.
"Oh." Furuya obeyed.
'Sure enough, it still doesn't work. I'm sweating more and more. If I continue like this, I might get a heat stroke. ' Of course, this is the worst possibility. As long as Seido's attacking end can buy enough time, with the physical fitness of a sports student, he can still withstand this heat.
"I've wiped off the sweat." Furuya reported his results to the teacher like a kindergarten child.
"Yoshi, that batter just handled it very well. Trust your own pitching!"
"Yeah!"
In the second half of the fourth game, although Sweet Ball was still caught in the middle, overall, Furuya handled this game independently without losing any points.
"Nice!"
In this case, Seido gained very valuable time.
Nitta Manager raised his eyebrows and had to say, no wonder Seido chose so many first graders to enter Dugout, they were all very courageous kids.
"Be careful with that Kōshū." In the fifth round, Kōshū replaced the original Sakai. Now there are eight sticks, and in front of him are Miyuki and Shirazu.
Kyoma University is not afraid of a single strong player, but is afraid of hitting in series. Miyuki's batting average, Slugging Percentage, and On Base rate are all ranked in the top five of Seido, just like Kōshū. Such two hitters, playing in the same inning, are no less threatening than Central Batting Lineup.
"Hi!"
When Kyoma University's catcher heard this, he paid special attention. After all, the score Kōshū just scored was basically mocking his arm strength.
"Haha, Senior Miyuki, we are actually playing in the same inning. There is no one on base, can you still On Base?" While Kōshū was putting on his helmet, he kept outputting nonsense to harass Miyuki. Of course, there was an imperceptible anxiety in his words.
"Of course."
Miyuki means what he says, but of course he is still worried in his heart. This pitcher is a completely new pitcher. He is not even familiar with the rhythm of the bat yet. I really can't guarantee that he can On Base.
"Bump--" He waited until he got the ball he wanted, but it happened to be within the defensive range, "Out!"
'Speaking of which, this team's defense has not made any mistakes so far. '
Miyuki replied to Dugout and had to accept the ridicule from everyone, 'Really! '
Of course, he had nothing to say and shrank his body to the side.
The confrontation on the field continues.
"Bump-" After two balls, Shirazu was tricked into swinging by a Forkball, "The batter is out!"
"Be careful with that Forkball!" This is the warning from Shirazu to Kōshū.
The eight-ball Kōshū nodded. In the Kyoma University team, almost all pitchers have good Forkball. It is really difficult to distinguish among the straight balls, and they will be missed accidentally.
But he is really a 'good supervisor'. The whole team practices fingering. There is no instruction from Nitta Manager. Kōshū absolutely does not believe it.
Kyoma University's catcher is very cautious. He squats in the outside corner and does not want to walk.
He has to think hard before sending this sprinter to On Base again. At this time, he needs to use the outside corner to weaken the power of Kōshū. After all, pitchers have strong arm strength. Inside Corner Ball can be easily hit.
"Good shot!" The last ball was even given to him by the outside corner. Kōshū had to admit that maybe due to the influence of his mood, this blow was slightly led away.
"Three out, switch sides!"
It seems that Kyoma University's ace is gradually improving.
"The two sides are currently at an impasse." In the broadcast room, the host guided the guests to explain the new situation on the field.
"Yes, but it can be foreseen. After all, both sides are schools famous for Pitcher Rotation Strategy. It is reasonable for it to turn into a pitching battle in the end."
"So, this also confirms Tanaka-san's previous point of view on 'XX News'. Maybe in the future, high school baseball will no longer have one ace supporting the whole game."
"Well, I think in the future Koshien, more supervision will be affected. This year, both teams have a lot of pitchers to support them, and both reached the end."
"However, many schools don't want just one pitcher. The important thing is that they don't have good pitchers..."
Then the topic went straight to the baseball study abroad system in private schools, which gathers good prospects from all over the country into one school. If things go on like this, Japanese high school baseball will no longer have a place in grassroots schools.
As the commentary said, most of the spectators in the stadium also intuitively felt the anxiety of the game from the numbers on the scoreboard.
From the 4th to the 6th game, there were a series of 0s on the scoreboards of both sides. The desire for points was unabashedly displayed on every player's face.
"Big Spicy Shrimp!" In the first half of the 7th inning, Isashiki hit a high bad ball and hit the shortstop right behind.
"Yo blind!"
"Fox Dog Senior, great job!"
Seido's side was naturally filled with explosive cheers, and next came Yuki. As long as Yuki could score one point and lead by one point, Seido would be able to get the one-point victory that everyone longed for.
But at this time, there was action on the other side.
"Notification of Kyoma University high school player change. Left fielder, Nakata, pitcher, Hongo."
Seido The atmosphere that was still boiling just now suddenly turned cold.
"Finally out, the third pitcher."
"Another pitcher who can throw 150."
Hongo Masamune could feel the scrutiny from Seido Dugout, and wanted to vent his emotions, so the ball in his hand became a little heavier.
He wanted to square off with the pitcher, but Nitta Manager kept getting in the way.
In the last round, after six rounds, Furuya experienced a rebirth of form in two rounds, but then quickly declined as his physical strength declined.
After Kyoma University hit four hits, Seido once again pulled Kōshū to Pitcher's Mound to fill the hole. Fortunately, no points were lost., but in this case, Kōshū has played more than three games. If you include the time he stood on the court, it would have been close to 6 games. During the rest time, there will also be interruptions due to hitting tasks.
This Kōshū will face off against Hongo Masamune with full physical strength.
Nitta Manager said cheerfully, "Go, Hongo, haven't you always wanted to play against that pitcher? I'll let you play now." He had been planning for several rounds and was waiting for Hongo to play. Of course he was very happy.
'I'm not happy at all! ' Another ball, Hongo in the trial casting stage, now Full power.
