"Is that all?" When Miyuki returned, Hirobi Tate, with a smile on her face, took the initiative to speak.
"Hey! Enjoy the game!" Miyuki replied seriously.
"Then let's go! I just want to play a match I won't regret!" At this moment, Hirobi Tate seemed to have let go of everything, and you couldn't tell that he was actually an introvert.
" Kan thinks that way, Sendou will be very happy!"
"Probably!" After saying that, Miyuki began to give the coded Signals.
"Happy...?" Hirobi Tate muttered to herself, then made her preparations.
"Ah Xian! Take care of him!"
" Senior A Xian!"
" Azuma Kiyokuni -san!!!" Kawakami shouted in his heart as he threw the first pitch.
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
Hirobi Tate, but after seeing the Ball Trajectory, he was forced to hold back.
"The first ball is a low straight ball from the outside corner!!"
"It was like it was thrown from behind me!"
"That pitcher!" Hirobi Tate was somewhat surprised by the first pitch; there's a big difference between watching the ball from the ready area and the Batter's Box.
"Good shot! Ken! That was a sharp shot!" Miyuki passed the ball back.
"That's perfect!" Miyuki thought to himself, giving the Signals.
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Nice shot!"
"The second ball was also a low, straight shot to the outside corner, but the batter didn't release it!!!"
"That was a really good pitch! I wanted to hit the first pitch, but it was a bad pitch that forced me to take my bat back!"
The second ball followed the same Ball Trajectory, which slowed my instinctive reaction a bit!
This pair of captors...
Indeed, this is what makes this match so exciting!
"The competition is so exciting!" Hirobi Tate sighed inwardly.
"The third ball, low inside corner!"
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Nice ball, Ah Xian!"
"I can see it very clearly, Kan!"
"Get out, Tachi-senpai!!"
Where will the next ball land?
"One strike and two balls! Normally, when the batter can see it clearly, they should really want a strike, right?" Hirobi Tate didn't seem relaxed at all.
Miyuki was also unusually cautious with his pitching. During Practice Match, Furuya would rather throw bad pitches than easy ones, and Hirobi Tate hit those pitches solidly under these circumstances.
This man is truly skilled as Cleanup Hitter.
"Here!" After careful consideration, Miyuki decided on the location for the fourth ball.
"Call out!"
"Win with Outside Corner Ball?... Hmm?"
"Smack!"
"Bad ball!"
"That was close! Did this guy see through my intention to make a move?" Hirobi Tate, who had just put away her bat at the last moment, looked at Miyuki.
"I can see it very clearly!"
"The pitcher isn't throwing any good pitches!"
"He's running away!"
" Senior A Xian! That was a really sharp shot!"
"Great shot!"
"Attack!"
"However, the three balls are a fact!"
"They probably won't pass me. Although the ball goes first, they're definitely attacking me and trying to take me down. I can feel it!" After her smile faded for a moment, Hirobi Tate returned to her sly grin.
"Should I throw an Inside Corner Ball here? The first pitch of this at-bat! Inside high!" After hesitating for a moment, Miyuki put his gloves back on.
"Call out!"
"Here it comes! Inside Corner Ball!... Huh? Damn it!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"He threw Slider here! The batter fought back tenaciously and rolled behind him!"
That fills the ball count!
They're still on the offensive! Seidou's captors!!!
"Strikeouts... I've never even thought about that!"
"I've never forgotten that it was the nine of us who came to get him out!!!" Miyuki muttered to himself, which was also why he Slider for the winning ball.
As a right-handed side-thrower, Kawakami has a wide range of angles for Slider and Outside Corner Ball compared to right-handed batters, but his Inside Corner Ball are different.
Therefore, you have to be careful. If you try to strike out with a game-winning pitch and throw Inside Corner Ball here, you're doomed.
"Although we've encountered it, the Slider's disruption will make the fastball even harder to hit. It'll be a long battle from here on out." Miyuki chuckled to himself. This guy really didn't know what pressure was. (At least not before his senior retired.)
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
"This ball is Slider too!!!"
"They caught up on the second ball?" Miyuki was completely unconcerned.
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Puff!"
"Outside the boundary!"
The ball hit behind Captain Tetsu's back.
"The outer corner is low again!"
"You've got the timing right, Kan!"
"Let's keep arguing with him!"
"Call out!"
"Ping!"
"Outside the boundary!"
" Slider again!!"
"Oh no! My posture is completely ruined! My center of gravity is starting to waver."
Right here! Inside Corner Ball!!!
Trust in your backup!
When Miyuki opened his gloves, Kawakami's breathing became much heavier.
He knew what was coming would eventually come!
"Puff!"
"Call out!"
"Puff!"
Hirobi Tate's first reaction was still to step, which confirmed that his posture was completely disrupted by the two types of balls that landed in the outside corner: the outside corner ball and the Slider.
but,
"Ping!"
!!
The ball was still hit with a rather forced motion, and the arc of the ball's flight was anything but forced.
"Ku! ku! ku! ku! ku!"
"A midfielder!"
Sendou reacted faster than Miyuki shouted.
Kawakami found it hard to believe that he could hit such a shot with so many balls and in such a posture.
Not only him, but even Miyuki had an incredulous expression. He thought he had done very well. The Hirobi Tate's body instincts beat her thinking was proof of that.
But in baseball, results matter, and the batter still came out on top.
Miyuki finished speaking, he couldn't help but look towards the bench, knowing that Coach Kataoka had a backup plan.
That is,
"Persuade that guy... to let Sendou take the Pitcher's Mound..." This was the only thought in Miyuki's mind.
Only that plug-and-play man could remain unaffected by this situation and perfectly suppress Kiryu's lineup with absolute strength.
However, Coach Kataoka and the bench players were completely focused on that ball.
"The center forward is retreating rapidly! Will he land?" The commentator said this, but everyone was watching the ball. This height was a bit...
"This curve..." a spectator suddenly shouted, but he only had time to shout that much.
What he wanted to say was, "I've seen this arc before; it's very similar to Sendou's barely-hit Home Run."
Judging by the looks of it, it either hit the fence or... Home Run!
"... We're going in now, quarter-length..."
"Bang! Bang!" Just as the commentator shouted this, Sendou, who had been ignored by everyone, began to jump over the wall, using his left and right feet to push off the railing in turn.
Suddenly, the audience noticed a figure appear where the ball was about to hit the ground.
Because of the distance, the spectators near home plate and the commentators, as well as the benches of both teams, could not see the details clearly.
"GO!" At this moment, Kiryu's finger pointed to third base, signaling the runner to charge.
Whether it's Home Run, being caught out, or Sendou touching the ball and hitting the fence, it's already time to start running.
Instantly, all the runners started running.
This is done just for the bare minimum of one point.
However, third base's finger doesn't want to be...
The third base runner had only been running for a little over a second when Sendou landed from a height of over four meters.
Before anyone could confirm the results of the outfield...
Upon landing, Sendou rolled over, using the force of the roll to dissipate the impact and stand up smoothly.
"Call out!"
Before anyone could even process how amazing the process was, a white light flew straight towards home plate.
The rolling motion even included the outstretched arm in preparation for a throw, making the outcome of the previous hits self-evident.
After throwing the ball, Sendou completely lost his balance and fell to the ground.
Kiryu is no longer considered a third base runner.
"Puff!"
"Smack!"
"Safety!"
The runner had already started running while Sendou was still in the air. The pass was already impossible to catch up with, and with so many consecutive movements, the ball speed dropped significantly compared to usual.
But nobody cares about that anymore.
The team that conceded a point cheered wildly, while the team that scored remained silent.
The runner who returned to home plate even knelt on the ground, pounding the ground with his hands, and refused to get up for a long time.
Only then did people slowly come to realize the series of breathtaking changes that had just occurred in those few seconds.
The big screen had started the replay, and now everyone could see clearly that it was indeed Home Run, but it was caught at the last minute, and then the process was so beautiful: the ball landed, rolled to dissipate the force, and was thrown straight to home plate.
In just a few seconds, the hearts of all the viewers were on the edge of their seats several times.
But everything turned into deafening cheers!
The cheers were for Hirobi Tate, who almost Home Run, and also for Sendou, who was superb in defense.
All the audience members were thanking them for their performance.
" Home Run conceded!!"
That was a no-run Home Run! That's amazing!
That ball must have been four or five meters off the ground, right? It was caught and destroyed at the last moment!
This is a very rare sight indeed! The commentator was almost incoherent.
Miyuki had been looking at the bench, was completely bewildered. So... it seems like we don't need to consider making a substitution?
He was curious how the manager would convince Sendou to let this guy go up to the Pitcher's Mound.
Seidou dared to arrange the pitchers in this order because of the existence of Sendou.
However, even Sendou himself was unaware that he was being targeted; only a handful of people knew about it.
If there's really no other way, try to persuade Sendou to participate.
And then... that was it, and there's no need for that now.
The game will continue!
The runner on third base returned to base, reducing the score to six runs, making it 14 to 8.
However, they have already been eliminated twice.
Furthermore, Hiromi Hirobi Tate's elimination boosted Seidou's morale, while Kiryu fell into a slump.
Although Coach Matsumoto knew that the slump would soon be over, the opponent's morale was also very high.
The home Home Run snatch just now made Seidou feel that luck was still on their side.
"The same situation, the same person as the hero!"
"Baseball is all about these kinds of good things happening one after another!" Mine Fujio commented on Sendou's performance.
"What kind of receiving method is that, Sendou?!"
Do you want to fall to your death?
"Are you kidding me?!"
Although the shouts were all accusations, no one could hear the truth in them.
Such an obvious message was indeed easy for everyone to understand.
"You saved me again! You bastard!"
"You always use such dangerous moves, it would be terrible if you got injured!" Isashiki-senpai ran over and helped Sendou, who was lying on the ground and refusing to get up.
"How about it Jun-san? You didn't just rub those bald heads of Tanba-san and Masuko- san for nothing, did you?" Sendou said with a smile.
"Well done!"
After all, it was a position that was snatched from me!
"It's so good to have you here!... Sendou!" Isashiki smiled and placed his ungloved right fist against Sendou's chest.
"Thank you!" Sendou could only respond with a smile.
"One more elimination! When we get back, my bananas are yours!"
" Jun-san! I'm not a monkey! I want to eat meat!" Sendou thought of a certain monkey. According to reliable information, that monkey could tell the origin of a banana just by taking one bite.
According to someone, this is the same as "tasting wine," a talent he calls "tasting bananas."
"That's impossible!" Jun-san's words brought Sendou back to reality.
"There are only bananas. Don't you usually like to eat them as snacks?"
"Bananas are delicious and convenient, but I'd like to eat watermelon!"
"Shut up! Don't push your luck, or else."
"Want!"
Although a lot of bananas were bought, there were only so many left for each person. Sendou always wanted to eat something when he had nothing to do.
According to Sendou's standards, bananas are the only convenient and delicious food.
"Tch! That's perfect!" Jun-san said with a look of disdain.
He thought to himself, "You still want me to buy watermelon?"
While the two were chatting, Coach Matsumoto had already resolved Kiryu's morale issue. Don't ask, just know that he's yelling like crazy!
Two teams have been eliminated, truly pushed to the brink of elimination.
Meanwhile, shouts of "Two out!" echoed throughout the arena.
The audience also began to split into two camps, cheering for the two teams respectively. Of course, on the surface, Seido was only one step away from victory, and the supporters of Seidou were far superior to Kiryu's.
"Fifth batter! Third baseman, Sudou-kun!"
" Sudou, please! Don't let the match end here!"
"Although the batter has been dealt with, there was a lot of luck involved. This batter's performance today is also very impressive!"
"We absolutely cannot be careless!" Miyuki gaze affected Kawakami, making him understand his own thoughts.
"Two outs! The match starts with two outs!" Sawamura shouted.
" Eijun-kun! It's best not to call him that." Xiaochun couldn't help but interject.
"Huh? Why?"
Isn't that what everyone says?
"That's what you say, but it feels like you're just encouraging the other person!"
"Is that so, Master!"
"Just a little bit!" Senior Chris gently as always.
"I see!" Sawamura frowned, looking rather cute.
"Let him call!"
"There's one more!"
"Ah! I understand!" Sawamura suddenly shouted!
"What's wrong, Eijun-kun!"
"One more!" Sawamura ran out and started shouting.
"There's one more!"
"There's one more!"
"There's one more!"
Then it turned into a huge chorus!
This match is almost over, and tomorrow is the end of the month. Usually, around what time is the best time to get the best deals on JD. com's Double Eleven?
