"Fifth batter! Right fielder, Sasaki-kun!"
"Although the cleanup hitter was retired, Seidou's crisis isn't over!
What kind of pitching will Furuya Satoru bring now?!!"
"Pff!"
"Piu!"
"Thud!!!"
"Ball!!"
"The first pitch was a Vertical Slider, but it missed slightly for a ball!!"
"Come to think of it, there have been a lot of Changeups this inning!!" Carlos said.
"But he can't get Strike Counts with them!!
Otherwise, two runners wouldn't have gotten on base so easily!
The few Changeups that entered the Strike Zone at the end of the previous inning no longer mean anything to the batters!
They've already given up on the Changeups!" Shirakawa added.
"It's amazing he's managed to hold them to just one run so far!
Though the defense has helped him as well!" Carlos nodded.
"His pitching in the Selection Tournament!
After seeing that...
Honestly, I broke out in a cold sweat down my entire back!!
Thinking that we'd have to break through a pitcher like that in the summer...
But he's the complete opposite of Amakusa-san. He doesn't look calm or composed at all when he pitches!
It's like he's trying to overpower every batter through sheer force!!" Tadano watched the struggling Furuya with deep emotion.
"Thud!!"
"Ball!"
"The second pitch was a high outside fastball!!!"
"At this rate, the batter won't swing at any suspicious Ball Trajectory!!" Tadano spoke again.
"Thud!"
"Ball!"
"Thud!!"
"Ball!"
"Four Balls!!"
In the end, another Changeup followed by a fastball walked the batter.
"They finally got the cleanup hitter out!!
Throwing Four Balls here is absolutely terrible!!"
"The bases are loaded now!!
My stomach is starting to hurt!!"
The spectators were already groaning. This self-destructive pitching without even giving up a hit was agonizing to watch, and no one knew when it would end.
"He couldn't hold on!"
