Miyuki put down the bat and ran to first base.

Amakuhisa turned around and saw that Kominato was already standing comfortably on second base.

In the second half of the seventh inning, it was a bit difficult for Ichidai Third to get the last out number.

"Ah, why is this pitcher suddenly acting like this?"

With two outs and someone on first and second base, Maezono's five-bat bat came to Seido.

"Senior Maezono, fight him out!"

"Seido Come on!"

Maezono came to Batter's Box with the sound of cheering and felt the scrutiny coming from behind.

'Three strikes without a hit, but I am gradually getting used to the rhythm of Amakuhisa. The catcher of 'Ichidai Third cautiously matched Outside Corner Ball.

The batter's hands were tightly clasped on the bat. They had just stood here and their hands were already sweating.

Where are the limits of tolerance for supervision?

As Central Batting Lineup, Seido's five sticks, they often misfired at critical moments. Even Maezono himself could not maintain his confidence in himself.

After swinging the bat tens of thousands of times, even if it is a stubborn rock, after experiencing thousands of drops of water, there will be obvious changes, but he has yet to usher in the key node of transformation.

"Wait until the ball reaches home plate before swinging. With your strength and swing speed, you can hit it." The supervisor's words rang in Maezono's ears again.

"I have shamelessly played as a five-stick player again and again. I have no other talents and will just persevere like a fool." '

Seriously - watch the ball, wait until home plate - then swing!

Maezono has decided that if the first pitch is a good pitch, he will swing immediately.

The pitcher looked back at second base again, then took a long step and threw the ball hidden behind his back.

That white color is so eye-catching, like a sudden lightning strike in the silent night.

Maezono's eyes were waiting for the final judgment. He raised one foot, but he couldn't see clearly whether it was a cliff or a flat ground in front of him, and whether he would step on the ground next or move forward smoothly.

During this period of time, which seemed to others to be less than a blink of an eye, his heart was already in a state of intense torment.

As a five-stick, if you hit the mat for the fourth time and still can't hit, it will be no different from Seido nine-stick, 'No matter what! '

The ball finally came.

He came to the outer corner range where Maezono is least good at, but this time he didn't feel uncomfortable. He didn't even have time to think about the meaning of Outside Corner Ball to him. The bat seemed to have self-awareness, unlocking itself and biting the prey.

"Bump--" The real vibration on his hand told Maezono, 'Hit! '

The solid touch he had not seen for a long time, and when the vibration was transmitted to the whole body through his arms, he was already sure that he had hit the ball this time.

This crisp sound was like a starting gun, instantly bringing the players of the two teams to life on the court.

Everyone's eyes followed the trajectory of the ball, looking far toward the right field.

Ichidai Third Right field is chasing the baseball that rolled hard into the corner.

Kominato was two steps away from the second base bag. The moment the ball was hit, he turned around and took a look. He quickly judged that it was a ball that could hit the ground. He kicked off the ball and started to speed, bypassing third base and heading towards home plate.

"Second base! Second base!" At this time, the right fielder had just caught the ball in front of him. When he looked up, he saw that the third base runner was only half way away from home plate, and the first base runner had already stepped on the second base bag and rushed towards third base.

"Die!!" The right fielder almost wanted to pass the ball towards third base, but he finally calmed down amidst the reminders of 'second base'. If a pass was thrown to third base at this time, not only would the batter reach second base, but the third base runner might also take the opportunity to rush home plate.

"Bah!" The second baseman took out the ball from his glove and pretended to pass the ball, only to find that the runner on third base was clinging to the base bag, and the runner on first base had already gone back.

He had no choice but to pass the ball back to the pitcher, who seemed to have stood there and turned around to see the situation after being hit.

"Amakuhisa! Come on! Get another out!"

'Did you forget to fill in? ' After this panic, everyone at Ichidai Third came to their senses.

'Amakuhisa He——'

After Ichidai Third's ace received the ball, he lowered his head and started to organize Pitcher's Mound again.

Ichidai Third Supervisor also noticed this signal and asked the substitute pitcher in a serious tone, "Are you ready to warm up?" He had already asked other pitchers to start warming up.

The backup pitcher nodded.

"You can start from the next round. This round - let's leave it to Amakuhisa BOY."

Leaving a pile of mess for others to deal with and getting away from Pitcher's Mound yourself is an uncomfortable experience for any pitcher, so if Amakuhisa can sort out his emotions later, Ichidai Third's supervision will let him finish the inning.

And when everyone was full of emotions, after sorting out Pitcher's Mound's trump card, he turned around and raised two fingers to the defensive players, "Two out! Two out!"

Amakuhisa The expression under the brim of the hat cannot be seen clearly, but everyone on the defense cheered up just by hearing that voice in the distance, "We haven't lost yet, and the ace's will has not collapsed." '

So everyone shouted towards the trump card, "Amakuhisa, come on!"

"Two out!"

"Only one left!"

"Come one by one, don't panic!"

Ichidai Third The atmosphere in the venue condensed briefly.

"Hey——" Someone on the sidelines shook his head.

Many times, being knocked out already indicates that you are in a countercurrent or standing on a cliff.

Just like the wave of the times that embraces everyone, good times and bad times themselves have a strong color of destiny, and once they get even a little bit of this color, they will face the pressure of individuals against the overall environment, and the overall strength required increases exponentially.

But now the Ichidai Third ace is tired.

The person shaking his head was none other than Kōshū. He stood on Batter's Box and made the final conclusion in his mind.

What's more, it's me who's standing on Batter's Box now.

For Kōshū, who is already familiar with the Amakuhisa straight ball and successfully hit Slider last time, the pressure he faces is much less.

The catcher's scalp felt numb. What he thought was a soft persimmon turned out to be a prickly hedgehog, followed by an even more troublesome guy.

The situation has reached this point, so I can only go downstairs and look inside Dugout. The supervisor of Ichidai Third gave the catcher Signals a signal to hand over the inning to Amakuhisa.

'There is no other way, let's test it! '

The catcher placed his glove in the outside corner.

'Here, vote for your best Slider! '

If you can produce a good number of strikes using the type of ball that the pitcher is best at, your confidence will be restored a little bit.

This point is very important to the current Ichidai Third.

Amakuhisa nodded.

With two outs and people on first and third base, he turned the baseball and felt that this inning was extremely long.

Because I didn't pay attention last month, my full attendance was gone.

And based on the objective fact that Quanqin accounts for the main income of this book

I'm emo

But I can only blame myself for not paying attention to the publishing time.
