In high school baseball, due to the limited number of players in the roster, players' back numbers are not as many as those in their professions, and they all have a fixed meaning.

The numbers are from 1 to 9, and each number represents the team's main players and positions.

"No. 1".

He is the main pitcher in the team, the only person who is called "Ace" by all his teammates, that is, "Ace".

The backing number of "Ace" not only represents honor, but also means responsibility and responsibility, shouldering the heavy trust of the whole team, school and hometown.

In a certain anime, that's it.

"It is not because you become Ace that you gain everyone's trust, but because you are recognized and trusted by everyone, you can become Ace."

Then when the team is in crisis, the pitcher who stands out to save the situation can truly bear the name of "Ace".

In the first half of the sixth innings, no one was out of the first and second bases, and 3 balls were bad and 2 were good.

In summer, dazzling sunshine spreads into the court.

The girls' delicate cheering voices mixed with the boys' slogans, and the music played by the music troupe brought a hot atmosphere to Baishan's offensive.

In this three-time match, some students from Baishan High School also rushed over to support the students who had known each other for three years. This intention was conveyed through those shouts, and the players also had a little more strength to grit their teeth and persevere.

"Baishan————!"

"come on----!"

The catcher Watanabe behind the plate was separated with his feet, and the center of gravity was placed in the middle, preparing for the catch in a very stable squat position, and the gloves were also placed in place.

"Um!"

Yoshi Okara stood on the pitcher mound with his feet together, and he nodded with a firm look with his eyes.

Turning sideways, raising your feet, leaning forward, swinging your arms, and dropping the ball, the entire pitching movement was completed in one go, obviously adjusting to the best state under the scorching sun.

call out!

The baseball that was out of hand rushed towards the home base area, and entered the air above the home base in a flash. The remaining speed rushed into the corner of the good ball area.

Yumori Shiyuan had to make a comeback.

Whether it is out of bounds or hitting a hit, or there are people on the base, he is unwilling to see him anyway.

"Swish--"

The ball and the rod passed by, and with a little disturbance to the airflow, it crashed into the catcher's glove behind, leaving behind the metal bat that continued to wave forward.

"Bang!"

The baton fell and Yusen Shiyuan had no time to be upset, so she quickly retracted her strength to control the swinging bat and removed the blocking feeling of empty swing.

After that, complicated emotions surged into my heart.

With a strong unwillingness mixed with a hint of admiration, Yumori looked at Yoshihiko Okara, who had his fists clenched, pressed his blow helmet, lifted the bat and walked down.

Strike out at the air.

Once eliminated.

I don’t know if it was Bai Shan’s luck or misfortune, but the pitchers in Fengye High School were able to pitch in the best form throughout this game, and they could not relax at all.

“Nice pitches!”

"Once you get out!"

"Yongxi, I'm out!"

The players of Shino shouted on the court. After winning Arimori Shino's strikeout, the situation went from no one to being out.

Although it didn't work, Yoshiki Okarasu still slapped himself with a ball-catching glove to drive away the accumulated heat.

"It's really not easy." He murmured.

The straight ball in the inner corner that struck out Yoshimi Yuki just now, Okara Yuki still shot a ball speed of more than 140 kilometers, while ensuring the stability of the ball control and accurately flew under the hitter's swinging arm.

It's simple to say, but it's not easy to do.

The radio on the court reminded them that Baishan's attack in this game was still not over, and it was the fourth base captain Hiroki Tsuji, who was another strong base.

"Four pokers, third baseman, Tsujikun."

Hiroki Tsuji walked to the strike zone, spread the ground with his feet, and raised the bat with a frown.

The wild pitchers are getting better and better, and almost all straight shots are shot more than 140 kilometers, which is very unfavorable to them, but they have no way to do anything.

Moreover, Yoshi Okarae is not only a straight ball but also a change ball.

After a few balls.

Through the curve ball, slide ball, quick finger-to-point ball and straight ball, Katsuno's capture got 2 bad and 2 good balls, and chased Hiroki Tsuji, forcing him to swing the baton.

"Clang!"

"Outside the boundary!"

Hiroki Tsuji rubbed a 146km straight ball outside the boundary on the third base side, but he couldn't be happy. The ball was suppressed and he couldn't find the hit point.

"Use this ball."

The referee took out a clean ball from the bag and passed it to Yoshihiko Okara, who was above.

The number of balls is still 2, but Hiroki Tsuji's pressure and tension suddenly increased. He took several deep breaths in a row, straightened the helmet that he had just been crooked, and then lifted it up again after turning the bat three times.

Next goal.

"Please, Senior Tsuji!"

Tetsuki Nishino was walking near the second leibaba, thinking as he looked at senior Hiroki Tsuji in the attack area.

Yoshiki Okaran turned his head sideways, looked at Tetsu Nishino who was trying to interfere with the pitching, and suddenly chuckled softly.

"Um?!"

Turning his head, Yoshihiko Okara slowly lowered his weight and threw the ball.

call out!

Baseball goes straight into the base!

"Bang!"

Hiroki Tsuji had no time to swing the baton.

He immediately looked at the referee at the referee. After seeing the judge's gestures and ruling, he turned his head to look at Yoshihiko Okara on the pitcher mound, and laughed himself.

"nice shot!"

"The hitter is out!"

Strike-up without baton!!!

Hiroki Tsuji could only smile bitterly and put away the bat, shaking his head and running back to the rest seat. He really didn't react to the ball.

“150km!”

Looking up at the speed of the ball displayed on the large screen, Takashi Nishino was dumbfounded, subconsciously swallowed a saliva, and couldn't help blurting out.

"This inner corner..."

"Very...so amazing."

A straight ball in the inner corner of 150 kilometers. The most important thing is that the ball can reach the base at the edge of the good ball area while sprinting out at the speed. It is simply the most perfect goal in today's three-game match.

With both ball speed and ball control, almost no one in Baishan can keep up.

"It's really amazing."

Tetsu Nishino really admires Yoshino's pitcher, and he also feels a little envious of Yoshino catcher Watanabe. If Nishino Kazuya and the others have this ability, he will definitely play the ball like Watanabe senior.

"No, let's just forget it."

Tetsuo Nishino immediately suppressed his emotions and realized that his thoughts were distrust of his own pitching team.

Every pitcher has his own uniqueness and is irreplaceable. As long as Tetsu Nishino can guide the pitcher well, it will be the best help to them.

"ah--!"

"No baton strikeout!"

"This country is the first one—!"

"The fastest straight ball today is 150 kilometers!"

In front of the audience watching the live broadcast, Shunsuke Watanabe, who was originally talking about the opportunity of Baishan Da, shouted.

Originally, he thought that no one was out of the first and second bases and then he was also in a crisis, and Shiroyo High School would probably be equalized by Baishan High School. As a result, Yoshi Okarachi directly striked up twice and reversed the situation.
Chapter completed!
