In the first half of the nine innings, there were two outs and one and three bases, and the score was 4 to 2 in Baishan.

As long as Kyotaro Ichikawa, who is second in the future, Yuichiro Kajikawa, who is third in the base, can safely return to home base to score, and Shirayama High School can widen the gap and add another insurance to the victory.

"Ichikawa, come on!"

"Call out!"

"Get a hit!"

In the stands and in the rest seat, Baishan High School's support sounds came one after another, acting as the background music of the game, cheering for the shooting and duel scenes. The atmosphere at this time seemed even more intense and anxious.

Xiaogao's players were not willing to be outdone and were ready to intercept the ball.

After several battles, Kyotaro Ichikawa was chased in the number of balls and gradually could not keep up with the pitch of Akigaki pitcher Sugiyama. In the end, he barely scored a high-flying ball in the field and was taken out.

"Three out!"

"Off and defense exchange!"

The Akaga player who got out of the third game excitedly trotted back, surrounded Ace Sugiyama and returned from the pitcher mound to the rest seat, high-fives and fists at each other, and said compliments.

"Sumarama, you really have it!"

"It's indeed our trump card!"

"Shots so well!"

Listening to the praises from his teammates, Sugiyama smiled, but quietly wiped his sweat from a place they could not see.

From the second game, he shot seven and one-third of the game, with 84 balls. It seems very easy on the surface, but in fact he can't hold on anymore.

Now that the first half of the ninth game ended, I felt a little relaxed, and my elbows became inflamed due to the continuous shooting in summer, and the pain caused by the pain came in vain.

"Maybe... I really can't make a vote."

Shanshan touched the elbow of his right hand with his left hand and thought to himself, there was a little more unwillingness between his eyebrows.

He lost two hits in the first half of the game. Although Baishan's hitters are familiar with his ball path, the decline in his own pitching quality is the main factor.

As a pitcher, he knows very well what the consequences will be for the decline in pitching quality.

"Um……"

"Forget it, it's useless to think so much."

Sugiyama shook his head a little self-deprecatingly, and fired out his own attack equipment from the shelf and put it on one by one.

Now they are still behind 2-4, and they cannot tie the score in the second half of the game, so the game ends directly. Without having to play an extended game, they naturally no longer need to pitch.

With a 2-point difference, at least 2 people need to return to home plate.

Baishan High School, who is in the victory, will definitely not give them any chance. And the final turn is exactly the weak balls of seven or eight or nine. It is conceivable to equalize the score in the second half.

"Oh, you have to go to the base."

"If you don't play a hit, the game will be over."

"Absolutely fight!"

Although they have not reached the attacking zone yet, Xiaogao's players have made up their minds. The last half of the game is whether they can continue in the summer.

If the score cannot be equalized, Xiaogao's summer conference journey will end here.

The second half of the nine innings was their last offensive opportunity.

For Xiaogao's third-year players, this may be the last time they have stood on the table with the purest desire to win in the official game.

Absolutely don't end!

After the referee of the first half of the game announced the offensive and defensive exchange, Nishino Tetsuya and his team ran back to the rest seat, quickly changed their protective gear and went on the field to prepare.

call out!

"Bang!"

Yamamoto Shuoya threw the ball out, and was received by Tetsu Nishino on the catcher's seat. They arrested two of them and were trying to practice the shot.

In the second half of the nine innings, Shiratsuyama's pitcher was still Ace Yamamoto Shuoya.

"Senior Yamamoto's pitching condition is still very good."

Tetsu Nishino took out the ball.

In the ninth game, Yamamoto Shuoya, who had used more than 110 balls, had the stability of possession of the ball still within an acceptable range, and there was no problem with shooting the entire game.

"Senior Yamamoto, Nice pitches."

Tetsuo Nishino said as he passed the ball up.

The defensive players were almost ready to go to the strike zone, and the referee signaled that Xiaogao's hitter could go to the strike zone and prepare to start the second half of the game.

In the rest seat of Baishan High School.

First-year pitcher Kazuya Nishino lay on the guardrail, looked at the seniors and Takashi Nishino and whispered.

"Everyone, come on."

Yamamoto Shuoya still stayed at the pitcher's mound in the ninth game, which means that in this game, the Superintendent Totoshi did not intend to switch to the ball, but believed that the ace could continue to make a shot.

Although Kazuya Nishino routinely warms up in the bullpen and deals with emergencies at any time.

But Kazuya Nishino also knew that even if he changed the shot, it would not be his turn. The bigger thing was that the second pitcher, Takashi Iwada, would come up.

If it was his turn, it would only mean that all the senior pitchers were beaten up.

In that case, the team was in a bad situation and he, a first-year pitcher, could not solve the crisis.

This summer, Kazuya Nishino has very few opportunities to shoot on the court, and basically only leads the score to score a few innings.

Fewer playing games does not mean that your strength is weak. In terms of pitching strength alone, third-grade Shuoya Yamamoto and Takashi Iwada are not necessarily much better than first-grade Kazuya Nishino.

But whether in a strong school or a weak school, we are very cautious about using first-year pitchers. It is not to say that we can start every game if we have the strength beyond our seniors.

The most important thing is to cultivate young pitchers.

If you see that the first grade shoots well, the supervisor will let him play every day. It seems to be very important, but in fact it is just consuming the pitcher's pitching life.

Kazuya Nishino himself didn't think so deeply, and he was eager to play more than anyone else, but he was the team's victory.

The team won, and it doesn't matter if he plays less.

However, no pitcher was willing to sit on the bench and watch his teammates win one victory after another, and he could only cheer next to him.

"Oh, I can't laugh anymore, I want to pitch."

He turned his head carefully and looked at the serious supervision. Nishino Kazuya's cheeks bulged, his hands clenched into fists and supported his face, and a small hope appeared in his eyes.

Yu Guang, the supervisor of Totao Department, swept away Kazuya Nishino's silly attitude and was happy for a while.

This summer, he originally wanted to give Kazuya Nishino more playing time.

Because Totakiji estimated that the team would not go much further, there was still too little time for formal competitions, so giving more opportunities to the first grade is also for the team's future consideration.

But unexpectedly, the team won three consecutive games, reached the semi-finals, and won the top 8, which was his best result since taking office.

These are all made by the current third-grade players one by one. Toshitaoji must give them priority and concentrate on playing every current game.

The team, which is mainly composed of third-year players, surprised Totaki's outstanding performance.

Xiaogao, the opponent in this quasi-finals, has similar strength to their Baishan. With a score of 2-4 now, Xiaogao has basically lost.

"Fourth quarters?!"
Chapter completed!
