"Three bats! Third baseman, Yoshizawa-kun!"

"No one out, runner on first base!

Inajitsu welcomes the powerful Center Batting Lineup! "

"Attack! Tanba!"

"Concentrate on the hitters!"

"Don't expect the opponent to make mistakes, take the initiative to defeat him! Yoshizawa!" Coach Kunimoto was also very serious at this time. Center Batting Lineup hoped to at least keep track of the score in this game.

"Don't run away! Use your Fighting Spirit to suppress him! Tanba!" The same Coach Kataoka had no intention of backing down at this time.

After the batter was in position, Miyuki quickly hit Signals.

"Huixu!"

"Crack!"

Yoshizawa missed the curveball, his posture was completely out of shape and he didn't make any contact.

In any case, this curve ball is not something you can hit if you want to, let alone the first time you face it.

"Nice ball!"

"Yo Xi! Good shot! Tanba-san!"

"Continue the attack!"

"The timing is right for the bat! Yoshizawa!"

"Enter him!"

"It's Inside Corner Ball again!" Tanba swallowed again when he saw Signals playing the second ball.

"This bastard!"

"Crack!"

"Good shot!"

Yoshizawa, whose posture had just been broken and had no mental preparation, had no reaction at all to take action.

And the main thing is that this ball is different from the high ball that hits the chest directly against Shirakawa, but it is near the knee, that is, on the edge below Strike Zone.

In terms of ball feel, Yoshizawa is still quite inferior to Harada and Narumiya Mei.

In this situation, you must show your strength and increase the pitcher's confidence.

Only in this way will Tanba's mental state get better and better, and his shots will become more difficult to hit.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

The third ball is still Inside Corner Ball, which is lower than the previous ball.

Yoshizawa clearly saw that there was no swing.

"Where will the next ball be? Is it the inside corner? Is it the outside corner?"

"Huixu!"

"Outer corner!"

"Crack!"

"Swing!"

"Swing! Swing!"

"Out!"

When Yoshizawa saw something was wrong with this ball, it was already too late to take it back. The beautiful outside corner Forkball was just to lure the batter into swinging without intending to make a good pitch, and it was not Ball Trajectory that could be hit.

Even Sendou, who likes Low Ball, was the same, Miyuki fell to the ground when I received it.

If Sendou reacts, it is possible that Ground Ball will hit the ground close to the ground.

"Yo Xi!!!"

Miyuki's strong guidance led to the ace Fighting Spirit, and his bold pitching allowed him to win the first center hitter.

"Continue the attack!"

"Don't relax!"

"Four sticks! Catcher, Harada-kun!"

"Harada!!!"

"Please! Captain!"

"Fight it out!"

"The next step is the serious part! Tanba-san!

Don't be afraid of getting hit, just attack aggressively! "With cheers from the sidelines, Miyuki slapped Signals seriously.

Ball control has not yet been restored, Tanba can only control Strike Zone's curve ball with its placement.

Harada is very clear about this.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Ah! What a pity!"

"Almost!"

Unfortunately, Harada was not very lucky. The ball was hit to third base and almost went inbounds. Moreover, the ball landed in the outfield. When it entered the bounds, it was Long Hit.

"Don't lose your momentum! Tanba!"

"We're still ahead! Attack!"

"Second ball!"

"Inside Corner Ball?" Harada, whose joints are relatively soft and whose swing speed is extremely fast, can wait more.

After all, the ball speed of Tanba is much worse than that of Furuya. This is the importance of ball speed.

"Forkball!"

"Ping!"

"Hit it out! Between first and second base!!!

Isashiki and Sendou have already rushed forward quickly! "

"Jun-san!" Sendou shouted when he saw Isashiki get the ball, but his posture was too late to pass the ball.

When Isashiki saw Sendou, he did not use his right hand to take the ball from his glove at all. He directly used his left hand with the glove to throw the ball out with the force of his wrist.

Not only can you do this with your hands, Isashiki is already very powerful.

Harada, who had just passed the first base within two steps, and Shirakawa, who had passed the second base, saw this and immediately turned around and went back.

So Sendou passed the ball to second base, and then to first base. This time the offense and defense were declared over.

"Great outfield play from Seidou, Long Hit Ball Trajectory turned it into a walk-on hit!"

"Hey! Are they in the outfield or second-tier?" Harada looked at Isashiki and complained to Captain Tetsu.

"That's right!" Captain Tetsu responded with a smile.

"What are you looking at?" The Spitz noticed Harada's gaze and stared back fiercely.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" Compared to Harada's general-like complaints, Shirakawa's mouth was filled with whispers.

In this game of offense and defense, both fielders showed extremely high defensive abilities. After so many games, the audience also understood that Seidou, the fielder's defensive ability, was dominant. The reason why Inajitsu controlled the situation was the pitcher's hard power.

That is the man who appears next.

"Five bats! Pitcher, Narumiya-kun!"

"It's our turn next. Narumiya scored two points from Timely Hit in the previous game! Inajitsu's offensive continues!"

"Tanba! One out! Solve them one by one!" Captain Tetsu was the first to speak this time.

"Tanba-san! One out!"

"Calm down!"

"Be careful with the first goal! Tanba-san!"

At this time, Narumiya Mei took a bunt stance!

"Bunt?" Miyuki frowned.

If the bunt is successful, it will be two outs, second and third base, and they will face Yamaoka, who hit Home Run in the previous batter.

To be honest, Miyuki is not sure at all if Tanba-san continues to act like Yamaoka.

The main reason is that I don't know how much impression Tanba-san has on Home Run, who played the last seat.

Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for ordinary people to eliminate the impact so quickly. After all, it happened in the last game.

Only people who don't care how mentally tough or heartless they are can do it. Even that idiot Sawamura can't do it at all.

Even in the original work, Sawamura would have some influence when he faced Raichi Todoroki for the second time. How long had it been?

"I'm afraid that guy Sendou won't care, and will instead burst out a stronger Fighting Spirit, right?

At least in terms of mentality, I'm afraid there will never be a more perfect pitcher than him.

But that guy didn't want to be a pitcher. "Miyuki is still in the mood to joke with himself at this time.

"If it's a bunt, let him hit it, but don't lose the momentum." Miyuki thought and played like this Signals.

The third-year player Tanba is not like the first-year player who will actively miss the ball when encountering a bunt without being prompted by the catcher, and then be fooled around.

Since he chose to resist hard, Tanba would not escape.

And Narumiya Mei got stuck at the time when the ball was about to be released and picked up the bat!

"Hit and Run!"

At this time, it is too late to change, otherwise it will easily become an explosive shot, so I have to bite the bullet and make a shot.

Everyone became nervous.

"Ping!"

"The ball was hit to right field!"

"Are you kidding!" Isashiki shouted while running wildly.

"Falled! Runner on second base back! Tie score!!!"

The runner on first base also made it to third base!

Inajitsu Narumiya Mei, Timely Hit for two consecutive seats!

This is one out, second and third base!

Inajitsu's offensive is not over yet. In addition, it will be Yamaoka who played Home Run in the previous round!!! "

"Don't! don't! don't! don't! don't! don't!" Sawamura was already panicking!

"You should just say mind! (Don't worry about speaking half of English...)" Miyauchi-senpai complained.

"Calm down!"

"One out!!!"

Seidou also tried to calm down Tanba.

"Six bats! First baseman, Yamaoka-kun!"

At this time Yamaoka also took up the role of Batter's Box. It is worth mentioning that his support song is the same as Sendou and Harada's...

"Yamaoka!"

"Continue the attack!"

"Fight it out!"

As the first candidate for the next four sticks, Yamaoka is not that easy to deal with.

Under normal circumstances, Yamaoka should be a five-bat player, but Narumiya Mei has a very high batting average, and there is a skill hitter Hirai Tsubasa behind him, so he was ambushed in the six-bat field.

Looking at Yamaoka and Tanba-san, I started to sweat.

My mind is filled with memories of that Home Run.

"In this situation, in order to consume Tanba-san's mental power, Inajitsu won't let us get the elimination number easily, right?

I'm afraid there won't be forced points!

Let's focus on dealing with the hitters here! Be more subtle in your casting! "After a brief thought, Miyuki raised his gloves.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

The ball of Tanba-san obviously deviated from Strike Zone.

Miyuki knows that a choice must be made.

So, continue to put your gloves in tricky positions so that you can hit the ball better, but if you can't throw it, you can't be hit.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Bad ball! Four!"

Tanba, who was under great psychological pressure, just as Miyuki worried, cared too much about that Home Run, causing it to completely deviate from the track.

With the score tied and Narumiya Mei showing off that level of pitching, the bases were loaded with one out!

Although they had been mentally prepared before, it didn't stop Miyuki and Tanba from being under great pressure.

In this situation, if the catcher cannot cheer up and is beaten out, the fielder can only worry.

"Seven bats! Second baseman, Mr. Hirai!"

"The pitching is very powerful! Keep attacking! Tanba-san!" Miyuki shouted to Tanba.

Tanba gritted his teeth and showed his Fighting Spirit.

"Forced points!!!"

"Phew!"

"Ding!"

"In this situation!" Miyuki looked surprised. He originally thought that Inajitsu would be more inclined to consume Tanba's mental energy than score points, and Hirai was also a good hitter.

This scene shows that Inajitsu thinks.

reverse! The mental pressure on Tanba is greater.

"Damn it! First base!" Miyuki could only yell through gritted teeth in the end.

"Crack!"

"Out!"

"Reversal! In this situation Inajitsu chose a steady score!

In the second half of the sixth game, Inajitsu finally completed the reversal! Five to four!

And it's still two outs on second and third base! There is still a chance to score! "

"Ping!"

In the eighth bat, he took advantage of the huge pressure from Seidou to take the first shot.

"The first pitch was out! Passed Third-Shortstop Combination! Eighth-bat Van hit a left field hit!

The runner on third base returns! Sixth point!

The second base runner passed through third...! "

"STOP!!!"

"Phew!"

"Boom!"

White Laser from left field entered home plate, completely interrupting Inajitsu and the climax of the game.

"Stopped!!!

Big pass to left field Furuya! The runner stopped at third base and didn't dare return to home plate!!! "

"Furuya!!!"

"Nice job! Furuya!"

The Seidou bench, which was already in despair, collectively shouted the name of Furuya like it was boiling.

In this game, being given a two-point advantage by Inajitsu is scary enough!

If he loses any more points, it may be difficult to calm down in terms of momentum. After all, Narumiya Mei is already in full swing.

"As expected of Monster-kun!"

"Monster Prince!!!" The senior students on the bench were also a little excited.

In any case, if you lose one less point, there will be less pressure on the line.

At the moment when the ball landed, countless Seidou Base Supporters people who saw the landing point were already a little desperate.

Therefore, the contrast of only losing one point in this situation made the audience cheer.

"Well done! Furuya! Even if it's a coincidence!" Sawamura still said words that I don't know whether to praise or belittle.

Judging from his expression, it must be a compliment!

Miyauchi-senpai nodded in cooperation and snorted.

"Kula! Don't come out to steal the limelight!" Narumiya Mei, who had just returned to home base, shouted viciously.

He had just scored, and before he had time to be happy, Furuya, who had already been "killed" by him, came out to steal the limelight.

How could the arrogant king not be angry?

Although Sendou, who is as competitive as Furuya, is stealing the spotlight, even though he is equally unhappy, he is a little numb. After all, he is famous for attacking the run defense.

Narumiya Mei can't stand it when you, a pitcher, come out to steal the spotlight.

"Bagayalu, you should vote for me Rebound Ball!" Listening to Jun-san's shout, I really don't know whether he is praising or scared.

Anyway, no matter which one, Furuya ignored it and pretended not to hear it...

Staring straight at Senior Tanba, although I was thinking that I can replace you at any time, it was already a huge encouragement to Senior Tanba.

"Beautiful return!" Sendou also shouted at this time.

Hearing Sendou's voice, Furuya's little ears stood up instantly, and his expression was a little... happy?

Because Sendou rarely shouts loudly, he was the most surprised when he shouted Furuya to Tanba before. Because of his admiration, he understands better how difficult it is for Sendou to shout loudly.

And it sounds like Sendou-san's voice is very happy.

As Furuya of "Sendou Humanoid Encyclopedia", we also know that Sendou is rarely so happy about competitions, it can be said that almost never.

It is double happiness for Furuya...!

For Sendou, it is impossible to be unhappy. Three points is simply a loss to a certain extent!

Inajitsu's lower position hit, but they didn't dare to hit center field due to their courage. They tried to hit both sides as much as possible, for fear of being hit by a super fine play to Force Out.

Furuya's performance relieved Sendou from a lot of pressure, so that he could better devote himself to the duel with Narumiya Mei on the offensive end.

The mistake the day before yesterday caused me to post before twelve o'clock, which caused me to go back to the day of being on tenterhooks. It was almost past twelve o'clock the next day.
