Chapter 169 Balance Break

In the rest seat of Wanye High School.

After Yoki Okara, who had just returned, put down his gloves, he immediately helped the catcher Watanabe take off the protective gear and then started wearing the protective gear together.

In the second half of the four innings that will be played later, they will play as three and four bats.

"Yongxi, do you remember the tactics we discussed before? See clearly before fighting."

Watanabe's catcher reminded.

"You go to base first. I made a hit in the second game. No matter how you look at the supervision, you're talking about your problem."

"Uh..." Watanabe was speechless.

"Go to the waiting area to prepare first."

"Um."

As he said that, the players in the wild went to the waiting area to prepare, and waited while practicing swinging the baton.

call out!

"Bang!"

Tetsuya Nishino and Takashi Iwada are practicing shooting, fully warming up their bodies, while the fielders are passing and receiving each other. During the offense and defense exchange, the players are warming up directly on the court.

The radio on the court said: "In the second half of the four innings, the attacker of Shino High School, now the hitters are three bats, catchers, Watanabe Jun."

"Three sticks, catcher, Watanabe Jun."

While the radio was ringing, Watanabe walked to the strike zone, raised his bat and prepared for it. Takashi Nishino, who was on the catcher's mat, pulled down the mask hanging from his helmet.

“PalyBall!”

For the first and second balls, Takashi Nishino used two outward slide balls to test, one good ball and the other bad ball. Watanabe watched the whole game and let go of these two change balls.

The third ball.

Straight ball!

"Clang!"

Watanabe in the attack area swung the bat, but did not get the right part. He just used the bat to touch the ball outside the boundary and made it into an outboundary ball with a good number of balls.

1 bad 2 good.

The fourth ball, Takashi Nishino, used his same trick again, intending to use a slide ball in the outer corner to trick the hitter into a swing. As a result, Watanabe did not sway at all this time, watching the ball fall out of the good ball area.

"Bad ball!"

The number of balls becomes 2 bad and 2 good.

Next goal.

"Uh-huh!"

Takashi Iwada on the pitcher mound nodded twice, indicating that he understood.

call out!

As soon as the ball was shot, Tetsu Nishino knew it was going to be bad. He was matched with a straight ball in the inner corner, but Takashi Iwada knew that he missed the shot and went to the area in the center.

Watanabe, who had been waiting patiently, made a decisive move and pushed forward with the bat.

"Clang!"

The ball was hit to the center and outfield direction!

The fast-flying baseball landed behind the Shiratsuyama Nakao Outfielder. Kyotaro Ichikawa hurriedly ran over to chase the ball, picked up the ball and immediately passed it back to the shortstop who was receiving the ball.

Taking advantage of this time, Watanabe ran to the second base bag.

"pause!"

After stepping on the base bag, Watanabe signaled to the referee, he quickly took off his protective gear and handed it to his teammates who came up. He stood on the base bag and lifted his belt, then left the base slightly, interfering with Takashi Iwada's pitching.

"Four sticks, pitcher, Okarinjun."

No one was out of second base and someone encountered four sticks. This situation was really bad.

On the contrary, for Shino High School, this is an excellent opportunity for them to score, so the next hitter, Yuki Okarashi, was also very cautious and did not rush to enter the strike zone.

"Swish--"

Standing outside the attack area, Yoshi Okarachi turned his body and waved the bat. He used this time to try to find the feeling of swinging. He entered the attack area after the referee's reminder.

"Huh--! Come on!"

Yoshi Okara raised his bat, no one was out of the second base, and he won the chance to score first, and he was unwilling to give up anyway.

“PalyBall!”

Tetsuki Nishino matched the first ball with a bad ball from the outside corner. Yuki Okarachi calmly selected it without any swing.

The second ball.

Tetsu Nishino thought that Yoki Okabayashi should not like playing low-end balls.

So he played a secret code, asking Takashi Iwata to shoot a low-post ball in the outer corner to grab the ball. Even if he was hit, he would have a high probability of getting the ground rolling ball to block the beater with his low ball path.

"Um!"

Takashi Iwada wiped the brim of the hat and agreed to the ball. He turned around and looked at the runner's position away from the base, confirming that the runner's chances of stealing the base were not high.

He stepped on the pitching board with his body sideways, and Iwada Takashi suddenly started and threw the ball out.

call out!

Missing the vote!

The ball of the slider itself will drop a lot, and the ball will slide directly into the central area, which is the so-called "sweet area".

When Yoshi Gonlin saw the ball path, he was already very sure. He turned his body and took the bat in a big arc.

"Clang!"

Right center outfield direction!

The baseball crossed the infield and landed in the right middle outfield, rolling in the area between the two outfielders, and Baishan's outfielder rushed to pick up the ball.

"Go back to home base! Go back to home base! Go back to home base!" shouted the base running instructor of Shino High School.

After aiming at the position where the ball was passing back, Watanabe stepped on the third base bag and continued to rush towards home plate. Before the ball was passed back, he stepped on the home plate with his right foot.

"Ahhh!"

Watanabe, who stepped on the home plate, roared and clapped his teammates hard.

After three stalemates, the balance of the game was finally broken. Through continuous long plays, Shiye High School won the first score for this game.

Baishan is 0 to 1 wilderness.

In the rest seat of Shino High School, in the cheering stands and in the school far away in Yoko City, there were cheers and applause.

“Beautiful blow!”

"Hahaha!"

"Finally lead!"

Yoki Okarasu stepped on the second base bag, and saw Watanabe safely returning to home base and applauded, then clenched his fists and waved his arms high.

"Ahhhh--"

"Gang Linsang, so handsome!"

In the rest seat of Wanye, his teammates also responded to him by punching him.

On the other side.

Takashi Iwada was in a very bad mood. He just got off the pitcher mound and came to the back of Tetsu Nishino to make up for the seat. When he returned, he happened to pass by the rest seat of Shino. The cheers were particularly harsh.

Raising his hand to wipe the sweat, Iwada Takashi lowered his head, and did not notice that his lips became dry and white.

At the same time, because of the sudden change in scores, the live broadcast commentator Shunsuke Watanabe immediately understood the topic of discussion.

"Two base hits!"

"The Shino High School from Yokoshi City won the first score of the game in the three rounds of the Triple Conference!"

"What a wonderful hit! I completely bit the ball, hit the ball in the outfield, and broke through all the defense line of Baishan High School."

"And after getting 1 point in Junye High School, no one was out of the second base, and there was someone else. Baishan's players must stabilize their mentality as soon as possible to avoid losing points again."

Although that's the case, Shunsuke Watanabe knew it wasn't that easy.

No one was out of the second base, and he was hit and scored in a row. Iwada's ball path was probably captured by the hitters in the wild.

In other words, the hitters in the wild dare to let go of the ambiguous bad ball and wait for the ball to be shot into the sweet spot of the good ball area before playing.

The two hits just now were caught when Iwada Takashi Iwada's possession fluctuated slightly.
Chapter completed!
