In the bottom half of the inning, with one out and someone on second base.

score:

Second Army:1

Junior high school:0

The hitter is a junior high three.

Because pitcher Teruaki Tatsumi has not been able to overcome his weakness of not being able to control inside corners, Tetsu Nishino couldn't think of any good solution for the time being, so he could only try to reduce the number of inside corners as much as possible.

But in this way, Nishino Tetsu's ball matching will be greatly restricted, as if he is wearing shackles to match the ball.

There is someone on second base, which is equivalent to reaching the scoring circle.

The three batsmen in the junior high school held the bat high with both hands tightly, as if they were about to swing the bat vigorously.

This batting posture also put pressure on the pitching pair of Tetsu Nishino and Teruaki Tatsumi. Tetsu Nishino hit a bad ball from the outside corner on both the first and second pitches, but the junior high school batsman was calm and did not get tricked out of the bat.

The number of balls is 0 good balls and 2 bad balls.

The third ball.

Tetsu Nishino pitched a high curveball with an exit point outside the strike zone. He hoped that the ball thrown by Teruaki Tatsumi would have a sufficient and appropriate arc of descent so that it could just fall into the strike zone when it entered the base.

.

The aim is to steal a strike number.

"call out"

Tetsu Nishino stood up slightly and stretched out his left hand to catch the ball.

"Qiang!"

The junior high school student swung the bat hard and hit the baseball hard with three bats, and the baseball was suddenly pulled.

"despair!"

However, the change of this ball was not easy to handle, so the three baseball bats from the junior high school just hit the baseball on the ground out of bounds, making a small crater in the ground and stirring up a burst of dust.

"Out of bounds! Good shot!"

Although he got a good number because the ball was out of bounds, Tetsu Nishino was still not optimistic. The three hitters in the junior high school clearly wanted to hit long hits and hit the ball.

Under the current situation, the hitters in the junior high school can indeed continue to try to attack hard, putting continuous pressure on the defense of the second army.

Tetsu Nishino simply stood up and made a gesture to the outfielders, telling them to pay attention to the ball that might be hit to the outfield.

The number of balls is 1 good ball and 2 bad balls.

"call out"

"Qiang!"

"despair!"

"Out of bounds!"

"call out"

"Qiang!"

"despair!"

"Out of bounds!"

The next three bats in the junior high school seemed to have started hitting training. As long as the pitches in the strike zone were difficult to handle, he would throw them out of bounds.

The three baseballs in the junior high school had hit three foul balls in a row. Although one ball almost hit an infield ground ball, the baseball still turned out of the sideline before landing and became a foul ball.

Even if there is a risk of hitting an infield ground ball and being blocked, the junior high school batsmen still adhere to the strategy of hitting every pitch in the strike zone.

The three-hitters in the junior high school have adapted to pitcher Teruaki Tatsuki's pitches.

This kind of sticky ball play is the most annoying thing for pitchers and catchers. Once the batter catches up with the ball, it often takes a lot of balls to solve the problem and the batter gets out.

It was obvious that the batter was hitting his own pitches continuously, and the pitcher Teruaki Tatsuki was not taking it easy. He frequently took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his clothes. His physical strength was also greatly consumed by this style of play.

Including a ball that was not swung in the middle, the number of balls came to 2 strikes and 3 balls.

At this time, Tetsu Nishino can avoid a head-on confrontation with the batter by deliberately throwing a ball that deviates significantly from the strike zone and walking the batter to first base.

This tactic of evading a duel is called "Jingyuan".

but.

This game is not an important game that determines the fate of the team, it is just a training game to test these new baseball players.

In addition, we are all innocent teenagers in their teens, so they are not willing to take the initiative to intentionally throw a bad ball. Of course, if the ball is a missed throw, there is nothing you can do.

Next ball.

Low straight ball in the outside corner.

This was Tetsu Nishino's secret signal. He hoped to directly win the number of eliminations in the junior high school's three bats.

After all, the current situation is one out and there is a man on second base, and the next thing to face is the fourth and fifth bats in the center line. If you choose to avoid the ball every time, do you have to choose to walk all the batters?

Squatting behind home plate, Tetsu Nishino positioned his glove and prepared to catch the eighth pitch.

"call out"

Baseball shot.

However.

As soon as the ball was released, Tetsu Nishino secretly said something bad.

The throw was too middle.

The continuous pressure from the third base of the junior high school and the stolen base of the runner on second base still put pressure on the pitcher Teruaki Tatsuki, causing him to miss the pitch. The ball he threw was too center and turned into a very hit ball.

ball.

The junior high school students can clearly see the three bats and swing the bat decisively!

The bat collides with the white ball.

"Qiang!"

"despair!"

The baseball was hit into a very fast infield ball heading toward third base!

Facing the sudden baseball attack, the third baseman was unprepared and hurriedly made a sideways dive in an attempt to stop the ball. However, the ball still passed quickly through his hand and bounced toward the outfield.

Fortunately, the baseball landed right in front of the left fielder, so the left fielder did not need to run a long distance to pick up the ball.

"Shua"

The left fielder quickly bent down to pick up the baseball and passed it to the shortstop with a flick of his arm.

After the shortstop caught the ball, he immediately turned around and tried to pass it to the baserunner to seal the runner, but found that the runner had already used the time they had to pick up the ball to easily get to the base.

"Nice hit!"

"Well done!"

"Keep one coming!"

The members of the junior high school cheered.

The situation turned against Tetsu Nishino and the others.

score:

Second Army:1

Junior high school:0

With one out, there are people on first and third base!

Tetsu Nishino tried his best to avoid a situation with one out and two people on second base, but instead ended up in a worse situation with one out and three people on base.

But it would be irresponsible to criticize Nishino Tetsu harshly because of this.

After all, the catcher's performance depends on the pitcher and the fielding. If the pitcher fails to throw the ball and the fielder fails to intercept the ball, the catcher can only stand and watch.

"Good fight this time!"

"Have a nice hit!"

"OK!"

"Score! Score!"

"It's up to you! Okada-san!"

The members of the junior high school were very excited. Their chance to score was just around the corner.

The supervisor of the junior high school, Ohmae Ichiro, was also very happy. He gave the next hitter a free-strike instruction and let him hit freely. After all, the situation was now dominated by their offensive side.

With one out, there are people on first and third base!
