In the second half of the sixth game, Seiwa Middle School's attack started with 6 sticks.
"Absolutely, get on base! Absolutely!" Although he is playing from the bottom position, his determination cannot be underestimated.
"Nani?" When he saw Akagi Middle School advancing to the fighting position, he also understood Akashi's determination to prepare for a bayonet fight.
"Long Hit Or just give up when flying high in the deep outfield, and just wait to be killed in the infield? Are you trying to tell me this? Sendou-kun! But it just so happens that it's really hard for us to attack like this!"
Coach Takei also understood Sendou's intention. The center fielder is not far behind the second base bag. From the batter's perspective, it's like there is an extra person in the infield.
Not only that, not a single ball flew to the outfield in the entire game. Now seeing the opponent give up the outfield, the pressure suddenly doubled.
"Forcing us to fight hard in the infield? We have to force them to retreat in the outfield." Thinking about starting to play Signals.
"Be bold with the ball! Be bold with the ball!" Takeda silently recited what Sendou said to him over and over again while placing his gloves on the inside corners.
"That's it! A Shin, we have no reason to escape!"
first goal,
"Crack!"
"Bad ball!"
"Phew! It was so dangerous! I almost shot this ball! By the way, is he a pitcher who can control the ball to such a tricky inside corner?"
What the batter didn't know was that Sawamura didn't throw the ball with all his strength, so his ball control was greatly increased. The ball just drifted a little, so it seemed to be a bad ball outside Strike Zone, otherwise it would have been at least one ball farther away.
"Ei-chan, don't give the opponent time to breathe and think!" Takeda quickly put out his gloves. Sawamura didn't care what A Shin thought, as long as he trusted his partner to throw the ball.
The second ball is thrown,
"Crack!"
"The same Ball Trajectory?"
"Strike!"
"That's it, Ei-chan!"
"It's just starting now, come on! Yamaguchi!"
"What should I do? With all the inner corners, I can't tell the difference between good and bad!"
The third ball,
"In the center?"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Hoo!!!" At this time, everyone in Qinghe exhaled. The ball was a slow fly ball. Although it was out of bounds, it was still almost intercepted by the infield. Fortunately, the infield did not touch the ball.
"What a pity, I almost got killed!"
"But it's very dangerous. If the glove touches the ball, the opponent may be on base before it is caught!"
"That's right, it's scary!"
"Can we just follow what the coach says?!"
While the batter was still thinking, the fourth ball had been thrown!
"Right in the center!"
"Cut!" A feeble fly ball just crossed the infield range, just above the position of the fielder after it came up!
"Crack!"
"OUT!"
"Youxia! ONE OUT!!!" Sawamura shouted excitedly!
"ONE OUT!!!" Everyone responded to encourage each other.
"There are still 5 outs, so we win!" After calming down, Sawamura thought to himself.
"That one is?" But Sendou saw some clues.
"Did you fail? But there is nothing that can be done! Otherwise, their outfield will step forward even more unscrupulously. With that Sendou-kun thinking, it is very likely that the outfielders will continue to step forward. Counting the pitcher, there will be eight people in the infield."
At this time, the seven-bat hitter walked up to Batter's Box.
"Huh?" Takeda saw Sendou calling several Signals.
"Really, how strong do you have to be, you guy!"
First goal!
"The center again?"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
The next ball was also in the center, and the opponent's seven sticks could only be shot.
"Out of bounds!"
"Chasing him!"
The next ball hit a high fly ball again!
"Crack!"
"OUT!"
"As expected! Are you hoping that a fly ball outfield like Aoki's in the first game will force our outfield to retreat? But Eijun's ball is not something you can do casually in a soft ball game. At least your hitting practice is not enough! But in this case, the outfield cannot continue to move forward!"
If Coach Takei knew what he was thinking, he would definitely complain loudly. You really want to pile them all into the infield!
However, Sendou also knows that not only cannot the outfield come forward, but he cannot even do anything. After all, whether the opponent's next batter will aim for a high fly ball to the outfield or a normal hit. Baseball tactics often involve each other guessing what the other party wants to do, or guarding against a possible surprise attack by the other party.
"TWO OUT!!!"
"TWO OUT!!!" But the players on the court don't think about these messy things, after all, they are two out.
What Sendou didn't know was that Coach Takei decisively gave up on the fly ball style.
He struck out on the first pitch of eight and forced the ball to third base on the left side, killing his opponent in the same way twice in a row. As expected, Akashi, a group of inexperienced guys, didn't react, preventing the batter from getting on base too easily.
"Youxia!!!"
The batter yelled wildly after the bases were loaded, indicating that our attack was not over yet!
"Don't look around. Whether it's a fly ball or Ground Ball, haven't you guys been training for months? Don't be naive and think that the ball is followed by a fly ball or Ground Ball! Cheer up, it's two outs! Everyone, be louder!"
Although everyone was in high spirits before the start of this game, after a series of entanglements, their spirits inevitably relaxed. In other words, it was fatigue that caused them to be unable to maintain high concentration for a long time. Sendou, who had no good solution, could only tell them loudly!
"Oh!!!"
Seeing everyone Sendou regained their energy and returned to the bench.
"Akila! I always feel like you are a little different from usual. Are you a little interested in baseball?" Fumino teased Sendou who sat down.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm just fulfilling my accusation, and!"
"And?"
"I'm just interested in psychological warfare!"
"That's all?"
"What else can there be?"
"Nothing! I didn't say anything!" Fumino said playfully.
"Steal a base!" A harsh prompt made the two chatting people shift their attention to the stadium!
The runner on first base has reached second base!
"Something's happened!" Sendou knows that amateur teams formed by societies like theirs, except for those with a good coach, are basically afraid of being disrupted by this base-stealing tactic.
Although Takeda already has the technology of using steps to pass the ball.
However, it is definitely slower than the strong-shoulder catcher, and as the game comes to an end, Takeda's attention begins to decrease. After all, the catcher is one of the most difficult positions, and Takeda is also a novice, so it is impossible to maintain complete awareness and pay attention to the entire field at all times.
And Takeda itself is not the kind of catcher who controls the whole field, but more like a quick catching machine, and the opponent also caught this.
Sure enough, the runner then stole another base!
