Tianjin Municipal Stadium, the second round of the third meeting.

The second half of the game.

Ueno 1:1 Shiratsuyama.

The lead was flattened by the opponent in less than a while. Ueno's players felt a little uncomfortable and could only secretly regret that they scored too few points in the first half of the game.

A broadcast prompt sounded.

"Three sticks, first baseman, Amoriko."

One person is out, no one is at the base.

It was Shiratsuyama's third fighter, Arimori, who was the turn of the third fighter, and the fourth base captain Hiroki Tsuji was preparing in the waiting area.

In the rest seat of Baishan.

It was a sunny day and the water consumption was quite large. Nishino Tetsuya had just finished drinking a glass of water and moistened his thirsty throat.

"Xiaozhe, come here quickly!"

When he heard that it was the third-grade senior Ito Nao called him, Takashi Nishino hurried over.

"What's wrong, Senior Ito?"

At the exit of the rest seat, Ito Nao stood on the steps, had already put on the blow guard, held the bat and waved to Tetsu Nishino.

"Come here, get closer."

Takashi Nishino leaned over, but he really didn't know what the hell out of Senior Ito Nao this time.

With one hand holding the bat on the ground, Ito put the other hand on Tetsu Nishino's shoulder.

"Huh, it's comfortable now."

“Eh?”

Could it be that Senior Ito is anxious to call him over just to find a place to place his hands that have nowhere to be placed?

“…”

"Senior Ito, it's not necessarily your turn to this game, why are you so anxious to change your equipment..."

Tetsu Nishino complained.

"Give some confidence seniors. Our lineup is also very strong. We can always get points at critical moments."

"I will definitely be able to play in this game!"

Ito Nao said firmly, pinching Nishino Tetsuya's face.

"Senior, why..."

Tetsu Nishino had no time to avoid it, so he could only be successfully attacked by Ito Nao.

"You guy has such a high blow rate. I'll try some luck. Come on, let me pinch it."

"don't want……"

"I'll hit you later!"

“…”

Takashi Nishino's resistance was fruitless and could only be treated like a baby praying for his face again.

Just as he was talking, Senior Aster Arimori had already reached the first base, and then it was Hiroki Tsuji who was the fourth base.

"Okay, Xiaozhe, it's definitely my turn this time. I'm going to go to the waiting area to prepare."

As Nao Ito said, he was about to walk to the waiting area, and Tetsu Nishino breathed a sigh of relief.

finally……

"Hey, wait, let's do some punching at the end."

Tetsu Nishino had no choice but to clench his fists with Ito Nao.

"Come on, Senior Ito."

After Ito waited for a while in the play area, Hiroki Tsuji, who had four pokers, also knocked out one hit and created an excellent scoring opportunity for one person to get out of one and two bases.

The radio rang on the court.

"Five sticks, left outfielder, Ito-kun."

Upon reaching the attack area, Ito Shuo lowered his head and tidied up the ground. When he recalled the expression of "sad" on Nishino's face just now, he couldn't help but smile.

Ito Nao really likes the atmosphere in the team now.

The team wins, everyone's summer continues, and every minute in the rest seat is worth cherishing.

Of course, it is quite fun to tease my juniors from time to time.

Especially Tetsu Nishino.

When he was guarding, he commanded them in the third grade, and was full of momentum. He gradually became the targets of "bullying" by these third grade seniors.

The unexpected contrast is cute.

After getting along for a long time, Ito Nao discovered that Tetsu Nishino is a person who is tough on the outside and soft on the inside. He is actually more delicate than a pitcher and can understand the mood of others.

Just like just now.

Ito Nao was just deliberately trying to find something to joke about to relieve the tension in his heart.

In the 9-player line of Shirayama, captain Hiroki Tsuji has four sticks, with strong and stable strikes, while Ito Nao followed closely with five sticks.

The five rods are just in the middle of nine rods, and are the positions that connect the upper and lower lines. Their importance is self-evident.

Therefore, Ito often faces a situation where people are involved.

Whether Baishan can continue to get extra points and connect the offense, the key is the performance of the five-player Ito Naka.

Ito Nao was inevitably a little nervous and joked with Tetsu Nishino. After laughing, the uneasiness in his heart disappeared a lot.

One person is out, and there are one and two bases.

“PalyBall!”

The referee signaled to start pitching.

First ball.

Inner angle straight ball.

call out!

Ito Nao waved the bat and almost swung the bat, but in the end he didn't hit the ball and the bat fell to nothing.

"Bang!"

Wave in the air!

"nice shot!"

After the baton is lost, the number of balls becomes 0 bad balls and 1 good ball.

Ito Nao took back the bat that was placed behind him, adjusted his breathing, turned the bat and raised it again.

"Clang!"

"Outside the boundary!"

After getting a good number of balls, Ueno's catcher threw several high-level balls to catch Ito Nao.

Ito dared not be careless and carefully knocked the ball out of bounds.

After a few goals.

2 balls counted and 2 bad balls were good.

"Take him down!"

"Um!"

Ueno's catcher Noguchi played a secret code, and pitcher Kajita nodded, agreed to decide the winner with the hitter and directly strike out the pitcher.

After all, there are two people on the base bag, and the gap between the guard has become larger. The probability of hitting the ball after it lands is very high. It is safest to win the hitter with three good balls.

On the pitcher mound.

Ueno's pitcher Kajita turned his head and glanced at Arimori Ashien and Hiroki Tsuji on the base bag, and restrained them with his eyes.

Then, he threw the ball out with a swing of his arm.

call out!

The baseball hit the home zone and slid towards the low position, and the height of the base was pressed very low.

Slide ball!

"Here comes!!!"

Ito Nao made up his mind and swung his arm to the ball!
