Seeing Seiwa's nine-bat hit the ball again, the two people on the bench Sendou also looked in the direction of the ball rolling and found that the ball was rolling along the infield line of the infield.

"It's out of bounds, this ball!" Kondo finally made this judgment.

However, the ball hit the base bag as it rolled down the base line like a foul ball, and the defense did not notice this until...

"Inbounds!" the referee reminded quickly, which is where his accusation lies.

"What?"

"Ku ku ku ku!" The voice of the third base runner was so harsh that it was too late for Kondo to pick up the ball.

"Run! Run!"

"Safe!"

"Safe!" The result of this lucky ball was a run, and the batter went to second base.

"Don't mind! Just hold the next ball!" Sawamura encouraged his teammates in time.

"Keep it one by one!"

"Oh!"

"That guy is really reliable!" Sendou also had to admit that Sawamura's encouragement was really timely!

Having said that, it is also the turn of the line-up, starting from the top line with one stick.

Two outs, runner on second base, batter on 1!

"Do you want to run? Do you want to steal a base?" Sawamura looked back at the second base runner from time to time, and his eyes had begun to change.

"Don't worry about the runner, just kill the hitter! It's already TWO OUT! Eijun!" Wakaba in the outfield also shouted to Sawamura.

"That's right, the pace of this nine-stick team is not fast, and the pressure is very high now. If you are not careful, you will change the field. Let's decide the winner here!" Sendou thought of this and gave Takeda a deep look, and Takeda nodded.

However, everyone was overthinking it, and Sawamura was not affected by this. It can be said that the state has come.

"Good shot!"

"Bad ball!"

"Ping!"

"OUT! Change the field!" It took just three balls to finish off the opponent's batter, and was directly caught by the third baseman.

"Yo~west~!" Sawamura roared in a long voice and ran off the court!

"Nice ball! Eijun!"

"That's right!" Sawamura bared his teeth when he heard Sendou's compliment.

"Nice pitch! Ei-chan!"

Several people who followed him also sent encouragements.

"Bah bang bang!" Sendou's applause sounded at this time.

"Okay, it's too early for everyone to be happy, Final Inning, we haven't scored since the first game! One point, only one point, let this guy shoot easier!"

"Oh!!!"

"Who started the fight?" Sawamura asked cutely!

"It's me!" Oyama weakly raised his hand!

"Uh!... Change your mood and prepare for the defense in the second half of the game!" Sawamura said after a moment of silence!

"Hey, I want to know what happened when you were silent!" Sendou complained.

"A Shin! Don't be stressed, come on!..." He turned around to comfort the 8-ball Takeda who was about to walk into the preparation area, and said a few words that no one could hear. As for the issue of defense, we will talk about it before the start of the second half of the game.

"Is it so unpopular? Our attack?" Fumino was very curious about this.

"You can't say that. It's the fourth round after all, and the opponent's trump card is almost at its limit. Oyama's attack is not weak compared to others. If he gets on base, he still has a chance!"

"That?"

"Ignore that idiot! Sometimes it's hard to understand that guy's behavior." Sendou was very helpless about this.

"Why are you laughing?" Sendou asked when he saw Fumino didn't speak but smiled with his lips pursed.

"Nothing! I always think that child is cute!"

"Ding!" While the two were chatting, Oyama made a surprise attack and Safety Bunt hit the bases. Sure enough, as Sendou said, Final Inning's pressure was no joke, and the opponent began to become sluggish.

"A Shin! Fight out! Fight out!" Sawamura jumped out again!

"You see? His behavior is unpredictable! Just now he said he was preparing to defend, but now he is full of confidence."

"That's right!" Fumino responded, but at this time Sendou had already focused on the command, but this Signals was...

first goal,

"Steal a base!"

"No, it's Hit and Run?"

"Listen up, Final Inning has clearly broken the opponent's pressure. Regardless of whether Oyama is on base or not, you have to remember one thing. Never hit an easy fly ball. Just hit the ball toward third base." At this time, Takeda was thinking about what Sendou had said before.

At the same time, Oyama was also instructed to steal bases. Takeda's hitting was very weak, but due to the devil catcher's catching training during this period, he had a good catching ability. Although he could not hit the ball well, he could always touch the ball.

The ball just rolled to the front of third base.

"Based? Even though I'm out, there's someone in the scoring circle, so it's not bad." Sendou thought this way.

However,

"First base!"

Ishihara gave accurate instructions, but the opponent's third base was too focused on the first base when passing the ball, so when he got the ball to throw, he just let go.

"Oyama Go to third base! Run!"

"Safe!" the first base referee announced a few seconds later. Takeda successfully reached base through the opponent's error, and Oyama also successfully ran to third base.

"Big mountain!" At the same time, Sawamura's triangular mouth reappeared in the world.

Unexpectedly, Seiwa Middle School, who had just scored, would be in crisis soon.

"Request a timeout!" Ishihara decisively requested a timeout, and the coach also sent someone to pass the order.

"That is to say, be prepared to lose even one point!" Ishihara confirmed the content of the order.

"Yes, after all, with zero outs, the opponent is the kind of team that is very annoying when they get on base, and their bunts from one to nine are very good.

Infield Shift inside and outside the field, use their tricks to deal with them, anyway, they don't have Long Hit players. That's what the coach said. "

"Then I understand."

"Come on! Even if you lose one point, it's not something you can't recover. The coach also said not to be stressed." After saying that, the messenger left the field and the game continued.

"Although we are prepared to lose one point, we can't let you score casually!" Qinghe's ace Morishita roared in his heart and threw the first ball, but Wakaba was not surprised. Yes, short play is mandatory to score points. After all, Akashi is really lacking in tactics. Wakaba is also a team member who makes up the numbers, but Wakaba's defense is pretty good.

Knowing that the opponent Infield Shift can only bite the bullet and force the score. Normally, someone on the first or third base is involved in taking the initiative to enter the base. Even if both sides know that they must touch the ball, it is very easy to score.

However,

The ball hit the ground and bounced into the pitcher's glove, so,

"Ishihara!"

"Crack!"

"OUT!"

Oyama was killed at home plate. Fortunately, as mentioned before, before the forced score was taken, there were people on first and third base. To kill Oyama, who was rushing towards home plate, he needed to hit the ball. Takeda and Wakaba still entered the base smoothly.

Finally, I asked for votes every day, and recently I found that the recommended votes were only half of what they were before. It's a bit miserable! Thank you all book friends in advance.
