When everyone noticed the score of "Shira Mountain 2 to 0 Matsusaka Shang" and everyone smiled with a raised smile.

They were able to lead 2-0 against Matsusaka High School, which almost reached the final with a crushing momentum. It would be impossible to say that they were not proud of it.

Everyone is a teenager, and the leading score he scored was not too much joy.

Facing the excellent performance of one's own efforts is what teenagers should do.

Even in the crisis of 1 and 3 bases, Supervisor Totaoji hopes that the players can defend with a smile. This kind of laugh is not a forced laugh or a deliberate laugh, but a smile that loves baseball from the bottom of his heart.

The players from Baishan gathered on the pitching mound, patted each other's backs with cheering breath, and shouted in unison.

“HAKUSAN!”

"come on!"

When Tetsu Nishino returned to the catcher seat, Matsusaka Shang's four-stick Abesuke had already stood in the strike zone.

After squatting down, Takashi Nishino immediately lived in his mind about the information about the assaulter Abesuke.

No matter how cheering up, you still have to find a way to face the real crisis. What strategy to choose to deal with the attacker? At this time, you have to rely on the catcher to make a decision.

"The batting rate is 0.526, 19 hits and 10 hits, 2 home runs, 9 RBIs."

"Absolutely great..."

Just living the data of the fighters before the finals, Tetsu Nishino felt it was very difficult.

It can be seen from simple data that Asaisuke, who is the four-stick player, is a hitter who plays the line and has the ability to carry Takashi Iwada's pitch head-on.

"In the second half of three innings, two outs, there are people at one and three bases, and we lead 2-0."

"If you are eager to get points, the hitter will have a higher tendency to make a stick."

"What's more, the four sticks of the main gun."

"Go to him or... strike out?"

With the mask under the mask, Takashi Nishino's eyebrows were locked. After thinking for a while, he decided to make the first ball match.

In the eyes of other viewers, Baishan Catcher thought about it for less than a second, and almost made a habitual action of pinching the catcher's gloves and began to send a secret code to the pitcher.

Abesuke, who raised the bat, looked serious.

"We must play this time. What ball will be the first ball? A straight ball or a change ball?"

A huge support song came from his ears, but Abesuke was a little deaf and stared at Takachi Iwada on the pitcher mound.

First ball.

Takashi Iwata made a shot.

"call out!"

The ball flew towards the center of the good ball area and soon began to fall down.

"Change ball?!"

Abesuke stared at the incoming ball, guessing that it was a ball with a relatively large drop arc, so he chose not to play the stick.

Tetsuki Nishino also watched the ball tightly, and judged that Takashi Iwada had pressed the ball low, so he immediately knelt down.

"Bang!"

The ball that slipped all the way hit the catcher glove placed in the backhand

While kneeling down, Takashi Nishino blocked the small door between his legs with gloves and blocked the ball.

"Bad ball!"

The first ball came up with a bad ball at the low post, and the hitter was not lured.

I gave a bad ball and it seemed like a little loss, but Nishino Tetsuya had his own thoughts.

"Is it still a sniper straight ball?"

"The last hitter played straight ball at a high position. It seems that they still think it would be safer to play straight ball..."

In the pitching in the three innings, Iwada Takashi's change of balls was not very good.

This gave the hitters of Matsusaka Shang, that is, the pitchers in Baishan's ball control are poor in several games, so the tactics that Supervisor Ishimura gave them is to wait for the straight ball first.

Although Tetsu Nishino didn't know Matsusaka's specific strike tactics, he vaguely caught the hitter picking the ball if he looked from his own perspective.

"The number of balls is 1 bad and 0 good, the hitter is the left, and the senior Iwada shot right, and if he uses a slide ball to attack the outer corner, it is easy to fall into the middle or outside."

"Attack the inner corner?"

"Once the hitter is too close, it will be a touch ball, and it will be even worse if it is stuffed into a full base."

"That's the case..."

After observing the situation on the field and thinking quickly for a few seconds, Takashi Nishino made up his mind and played his ball-patching code at Takachi Iwada above.

“Sliding ball.”

“Inner angle.”

“See high.”

Seeing the gesture and secret code from Nishino Tetsuya's right hand, Iwada Takashi thought in surprise: "It's still a change ball, will you not be hit by the high shot?"

After cooperating with so many games, Takashi Iwada realized that Tetsu Nishino wanted to grab the ball well.

However, what you need is not a straight ball with a more stable base point, but a change ball that is difficult to accurately control when the landing point.

This is a bit risky.

If the pitching quality is not good, it will be a touch ball, or it will fall into the red and be hit, and there is also a high possibility that it will be a bad ball in the inner corner.

Despite his concerns, he believed Nishino Tetsuya's choice and nodded to the home plate.

"Um!"

Looking at the runners at Ichibaku, Iwada Takashi hid in his gloves with a baseball in his right hand, turned his fingers to change the way he held the ball, and threw the ball over.

"call out!"

The baseball flew over, and the initial ball path was quite high. Although it was coming into the good ball area, it began to fall sharply in the final stage.

"Or the change ball?!"

Abesuke decided to let go of this ball, thinking that it would still be a bad ball that would fall out.

The moment he entered the baseball, the baseball fell in without any obstacles, and Takashi Nishino's left hand suddenly reached forward to the right.

"Bang!"

At a height of about the right shoulder, Takaichi Nishino, who was squatting in a low position, grabbed the ball.

"nice shot!"

The referee behind clenched his fist and shouted. Atesuke in the attack area realized the bad things and turned to look at the supervisor in his own contestant's seat.

The reason is that the vertical slide ball in the inner corner that I just came in was really good.

The base height is at the hitter's belt, and it is a good ball that comes in close proximity to the edge of the inside of the good ball area.

It is hard to say whether it is luck or strength for such a change. If Takashi Iwada knows that the ball control status has improved and has the ability to shoot the next ball, the strike strategy will be adjusted.

However, the Ishimura Supervisor could not give Asesuke a help for a while.

The ball count reached 1 and the 1 was better. Soon, the next ball was shot again, and the shooting path was almost the same as the previous one.

"Want or not?" At this moment, Abesuke held the bat but couldn't make a judgment.

Reason told him that Baishan's pitcher could not shoot so well for every change ball. As a catcher, he should know this very well.

"call out!"

The ball came in very quickly and it started to fall in one go.

Standing in the attack area, Abesuke didn't even have time to hesitate, so he could only leave it to the body's instinct to judge.

The ball path on the slide left a deep impression on him, so he had more confidence in playing the ball.

In the last moment, Abesuke still waved the bat in his hand.

"Swish--!"

The raised bat swung forward from top to bottom and hit the batting point, but Abesuke suddenly realized that the ball fell too low, almost at his feet.

"Can't hit it?"

Even if I tried my best to pull the bat back to my feet at the last moment, the bat still couldn't touch the ball falling down.

"Swish--!"

The metal bat intersects with the incoming ball.

And Takashi Nishino, who was behind, had already reached forward with preparation and opened the catcher gloves with his backhand to face the ball.

"Bang!"

The baseball ended up falling into Tetsu Nishino's gloves lightly.

The hitter's baton fell to nothing!
Chapter completed!
