Chapter 253: Dealing with Strong Lines

Matsusaka High School caught a double kill, and got two outs in a row, turning the situation around. With someone out of two outs and two bases, they struck out Komata Meteor with six sticks.

"Three out!"

"Off and defense exchange!"

At the end of the first half of the game, Baishan High School temporarily led 2-0.

The players of Matsusaka Shang ran away one after another, and the players of Baishan ran up with their own gloves, and began to practice shooting and passes on the court without stopping.

The broadcast on the court introduced the players of Baishan: "In the second half of the inning, Baishan High School's garrison, pitcher, Iwata Kwan, catcher, Nishino Kwan, first baseman, Arimori Kwan..."

"Bang!"

Tetsu Nishino received the ball thrown by Katsuchi Iwada from the pitching hill, looked at the Matsusaka Suki who was practicing swinging in front of the rest seat, and passed the ball back to Katsuchi Iwada.

In this game, Shirashan's starting pitcher was third-grade Takashi Iwada. Even though he made almost the whole game yesterday, his third-grade pitcher was still the one who took the lead in the final.

No. 1 pitcher Shiroya Yamamoto's foot injury is not particularly serious. For the last game of today, if you force yourself to make a few games, you can still stick to it.

But Supervisor Totakuji cannot consume his own players like this. Even if Yamamoto Shuoya told him that he would not consider the price of playing baseball in the future, he would not agree to let Yamamoto Shuoya play forcibly.

In other words, the only pitchers who can be good at Shirayama Takashi in this final are third-year Takashi Iwada and first-year Kazuya Nishino.

In the last game, Baishan High School was almost turned around in the last game. Supervisor Totaoshi learned this lesson and prepared for a replacement in this game early.

The timing of the switch is very important.

Baishan has had fierce battles in the last three games. The team has worked very hard to defend and averaged nearly 4 points per game.

This means that Baishan's garrison has only 4 points at most, and if there are more points, it may not be able to catch up.

No one can tell when the starting pitcher will be caught on the ball. If he loses a lot of points at the beginning, the situation will be very embarrassing.

But equally, no one can guarantee that the pitcher who relays up will be able to suppress the opponent's lineup. If it collapses as soon as it comes, changing the shot will be a big trick.

Before the game, the research depends on the specific rhythm of the game, and the determination of the direction depends on the players on the field.

After practicing for a while, the garrison players and the base judges were all in the position, so the referee signaled that they could start pitching and the second half of the inning officially began.

"Dang-dang-dang-dang-dang-dang!"

Matsusaka Shang's support music was played, and the instruments were filled with an aura of encouragement to attack, and the players on the court were clamoring fiercely.

"Matsusaka Shang—————!!!"

"One give! One gives! One gives!"

During the summer conference, Matsusaka High School did not have much time to fall behind. They were two points behind in the beginning of the game. They were eager to get it back, and the hitters on the court all swung their batons with great strength and momentum.

However, Matsusaka Shang's attack method was in line with Baishan's garrison style. Despite losing one hit, Baishan still held the score in the second half of the game, leaving Matsusaka Shang's strong line-breaking particles without success.

The game enters the second inning.

The player Matsusaka Shang, who had just hit a wall in the offense, immediately regained his energy and focused on the defense in the first half of the second game. With his solid basic defense skills, he got three ups and three downs.

"Three out!"

"Off and defense exchange!"

In the second half of the second inning, with the lessons learned from the first inning, Matsusaka Shang's offense was even more patient and had a chance to get out of two and get out of second base.

On the pitcher mound.

Iwada Takashi, who lost a second hit, took a deep breath, wiped off the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and looked at the baseball coming from his hand.

He also knew in his heart that it was inevitable to be beaten.

With the strength of Baishan High School, it is almost impossible to completely suppress the opponent's line-up. It can only bear the heavy pressure given by the opponent from time to time like a spring.

Looking over at the catcher's seat, seeing that the runners at the second base were not too far away from the base, Takashi Nishino secretly speculated and immediately understood Matsusaka Shang's plan.

"Do you want to aim and score with a long shot..."

There are people out of the second base in two out of two places, and the hitter hits the ball to a farther place in the outfield. Runners with low footing can run back to home base and score in one go.

The runner on the second base is not far from the base and seems to be very calm, but is actually waiting for his teammates to hit the ball. Once the ball is hit, the runner will immediately start running desperately.

And his seemingly peaceful distance is just a means to confuse the defensive players.

Those who really want to steal a base or dare to rush to home base will not be easily revealed.

The reason why Tetsu Nishino knew so quickly was that he did this when he stole the base, and the grasp of the timing was the most important thing.

While squatting in the catcher's seat and typing the secret code, Takashi Nishino made a garrison adjustment.

Let the third baseman and shortstop on the left move forward to guard the garrison, and the position is closer, while the outfielder's position is relatively moderate.

The first ball, Takashi Iwata, threw the slide ball from the outside.

Although it was a bad ball, Baishan's fielders meticulously moved with the pitch, preventing the stolen base and guarding against the three-game attack on the left side.

Every time he made a pitch, Baishan's inner and outer field guards also moved quickly.

The runner on Matsusaka Shang No. 2 baseball looked back and saw that the shortstop of Baishan behind him was not far from him, and the third baseball player also leaned near the third baseball player, and was shocked.

"Sure enough, I found it..."

In this case, the already slim chance to steal the third base will be gone, and the runner's next move can only depend on the teammates in the strike zone.

But the Matsusaka Shangyaoba beater in the attack area was also very uncomfortable.

Baishan's garrison formation will tilt to the left when the ball comes over, and the one that blocks the usual strike side on his left.

If he hits the ball to the left, the possibility of being intercepted by Sanyou is greatly increased.

If you want to send your teammates back to home plate, it is better to hit the ball to the right side of his opposite direction, after all, there is a large gap in the right side.

After making up his mind, Matsusaka Shang's eight sticks calmed down and waited to choose a suitable ball.

As a result, Takashi Nishino had two consecutive goals with good goals. Takashi Iwada attacked in strongly and made Matsusaka Jun's eight sticks uncomfortable. He swept the two straight balls that entered the good goal area at once.

The number of balls is 1 bad and 2 good, and the hitter is on the verge of being struck out.

There will always be risks when someone gets hit from the second base when he gets hit, so Tetsu Nishino weighs the risks and plays the secret code of the fourth goal, which is also to strike out the hitter.

"Straight ball!"

"Outer angle low!"

Takachi Iwada nodded in agreement. He had never taken care of the runners on the second base from beginning to end, and had not shot at the ball at once, but the runner still obediently did not dare to steal the base, which allowed him to deal with the hitter with peace of mind.

On the pitcher mound, Takashi Iwada suddenly waved his arm, then dropped the ball and threw it over.

call out!

Feeling the subtle touch of the ball when I put it off, Takashi Iwada felt a big problem, and his possession of the crucial winning goal he shot was deviated.

Although not too many, the base point of the ball was enough to increase several ball positions. Matsusaka Shangyao, who did not dare to relax for a moment, caught this ball path and decisively swung the bat.

"Clang!"

The ball was hit by a metal bat. Takashi Nishino stretched out his left hand to catch the ball and immediately caught it. The baseball flew backward half high in the direction between first and second bases.

Iwada Takashi quickly turned around and felt a chill in his heart.
Chapter completed!
