"What's the number of balls Ozawa has?" Coach Mitani on the other side also noticed the ace's physical problem!
"Hi! Already 83 goals!" the scorekeeper girl next to me immediately replied!
"The opponent chose the ball carefully except for the five pitchers and four catchers, although they deliberately let Ozawa save energy.
However, in order to reduce the number of Changeup shots, the number of goals was inevitably increased. Especially for Sendou-kun, he used more than 25 goals in two games! Wait! Over 25 goals!..." Coach Mitani was thinking in his heart!
"Where's the opponent's trump card?"
"Only 54 balls! Although we actively observed the opponent's Strike Zone, there were very few bad balls, and several batters were eliminated with only one or two balls, so the number of balls was very small!"
"The other team faced 16 batters with 54 pitches, and our ace faced 14 batters with 83 pitches...?
But as long as there is no loss, this game can only be left to Ozawa! "
"At the beginning of this inning, try to use the straight ball Changeup to determine the outcome and trick the opponent's batter into releasing the bat. It is best to let the defense handle it."
"I understand!"
"And then Sendou-kun walked him out!" Coach Mitani finally made up his mind to walk Sendou.
"But, coach!..." Ozawa wanted to say something but was immediately interrupted.
"This is the coach's order! You have too many balls. Even if you can get Sendou-kun outs, you are probably exhausted.
And the last batting seat Sendou-kun was probably deliberately hitting a foul ball to increase your out count!
Now it seems that there are indeed a few shots that are far away, but it is still no problem for him to hit Long Hit, and there are even several shots that are easier than that Home Run.
It means that Sendou is already planning the whole game, using a Home Run as the price.
While it's possible that he doesn't have the ability to discern the subtle differences between good and bad pitches, for a hitter of his caliber, there won't be any difference. That kind of weakness is negligible considering his physical condition.
There is no need to engage in petty tricks, just hit them openly and openly! "
"Hi!!!"
"Ha!" Hearing the other party's crisp cry Sendou laughed softly.
"I'm really envious! With so many girls shouting together, it sounds like a band!"
"What are you talking about? Really!" Wakaba immediately made an excuse.
"What's the matter?"
"I've defeated Fumino-chan, so I'm interested in you!... I told you not to do bad things!" Wakaba suddenly felt like he had smoothed over his words immediately.
"Why is she looking at me? I'm such a trustworthy person. Am I the kind of person who will get into trouble? Really." Sendou had nothing to doubt, so he said this and sat down.
In this round of 6, 7, and 8 balls, Three Up Three Down only used 6 balls. After all, the gap between the two sides was a bit big, and the teammates were a little frustrated, especially after seeing Sendou's two-dozen hits against Long Hit.
Sendou can see all this but can't say anything, but he believes that these will make everyone practice harder.
"Now it's just about getting on base, don't think about Long Hit, just play steadily and get it back one by one!"
"Hi!"
In the first half of the sixth inning, we successfully caught the opponent. After 8 or 9 outs, Sawamura's ball was hit again. Lead-off Hitter, who was playing in the third round, successfully reached base with two outs.
"Leave! Leave! Leave! Leave!"
"Leave! Leave! Leave! Leave!"
"Huh?" Sawamura stared at him immediately when he heard the commotion, and actually felt quite panicked.
"Hey! Hey! Leave her alone! She won't take such a risk after two outs!" Sendou signaled like this!
"Steal a base!" The speed of light slaps him in the face!
"What? A single mistake will waste a rare opportunity! Are you so bold? Are you still looking down on us?"
"Crack!"
"Strike!"
"Crack!"
"Safe!"
"What a danger! What a critical moment! That one is a left-hand shot!"
"That pitcher is still very young! He doesn't even know how to control it!"
"But the pitcher's ball speed is not slow. What's really scary is the catcher! Just now he was kneeling and only relying on his shoulders to pass the ball so fast, he almost got killed!"
"But we have finally entered the scoring circle! The rest depends on whether the subsequent hitters can score. After all, it is the third round of the top line that is not easy to deal with!
We also have to observe carefully. We will also have to play a practice match with Akagi Middle School in two days, right? "
"Hey! What are we going to do with that four-bat guy? How about we beat him and walk him?"
"Don't worry! That guy doesn't know why he only serves as Akagi Middle School's coach. Today is just a special situation. He won't play against us."
"It's true! It scared me to death! But it's a waste that such a powerful player doesn't want to play!"
"That's right! That's right! It's true!"
"Look! That Coach Mitani called the second batter to his side. Isn't it now the instructor's turn to appear?"
The game on the field has once again entered a tense moment, and the melon-eating spectators nearby continue to eat melon calmly, chirping from time to time!
"Bang!"
"First baseman! Huh?"
At this time, the opponent penetrated the first base defense and entered the outfield area.
"That's two outs and one and three bases! It's just starting now! Come on!" Sakura Girls's bench began to cheer everyone up!
"Sure enough, this team has too many defensive holes. It was not obvious before relying on the power of pitchers, but at critical moments, experience and judgment will still cause problems! And..." Coach Mitani glanced at Takada as he spoke, and continued to call the three batters over!
"It doesn't matter! Get nervous, everyone! You have to hold on even if you die!" Sendou also stood up to encourage everyone, but sometimes speaking too absolutely is a kind of pressure. Even after some training, it can't be changed overnight. Especially personality, Fighting Spirit, something instinctive.
"Ping!"
"First baseman!"
"Click!" The ball bounced out of Akio's glove.
"Mistake! Run! Run!"
At the same time, when Akio picked up the ball in a hurry, the ball slipped and fell to the ground again.
"Safe!"
"One point back! Great!" Sakura Women's University The girls on the bench hugged each other, making a group of boys thirsty for a moment!
The other runners also hit the bases one after another, and it was two bases, which made them celebrate.
At this time Akio was confused and stood there at a loss!
"Sorry, timeout!" After the ball died, Sendou hurriedly shouted a timeout and ran onto the court!
"I'm sorry! I'm really, really sorry for everyone! Sen-chan finally scored a run! And they even got to second and third base! I'm really, really sorry!" At this time, Akio was already crying and even a little incoherent!
Once again, I was reluctant, it was so exciting every day! I'm so exhausted, I'm going to sleep!
