Chapter two hundred and sixty-two self-blame
Before pitching, Takachi Iwada stretched out his body and posed in a very beautiful pitching position.
Stepping on the ground, turning around, swinging shoulders and arms, all of which were standard and quick, and finally putting the ball smoothly.
"call out!"
The baseball hits straight toward the inner corner.
"Is it a good ball?!" Yoshikawa Haruki's visual perception is that the ball is in the good ball area.
So he began to draw the bat backward, then swept it hard, and swung the bat out to the preset hitting point.
As the baseball approached home base, Yoshikawa Haruki's swing arrived almost at the same time.
"Swish!"
In this short moment, the ball and the bat that were moving at high speed crossed.
"Bang!"
Tetsuo Nishino raised his left hand at the right time and caught the baseball that rushed into the inner corner.
Yoshikawa Haruki's third swing was lost.
"Strike-up!"
"The hitter is out!"
After the referee's decision blurted out, Tetsu Nishino stood up with a smile, passed the ball to his teammate who was a caddie, and excitedly patted his catcher gloves.
This three-out interrupted Matsusaka Shang's offense, leaving behind two remaining bases, first base and second base.
"..." Yoshikawa Haruki stood in the attack area, eased his emotions a little.
All three swings of batons were swung in vain, and there was no way to send teammates back. Yoshikawa Haruki felt very uncomfortable. Gripping his teeth gently, he tried hard to restrain his sense of self-blame in his heart.
Tetsu Nishino noticed his expression and thoughtful.
The teammates ran back from the outfield and the inland field, and Tetsu Nishino followed them to go back to the rest seat.
The game entered the fifth inning, and the score was still "Shira Mountain 2-0 Matsusaka Shang".
In the rest seat of Baishan High School.
Because Shirayama's first half of the fifth game followed the eight-bar round and his attack strength was relatively weak, Tetsuki Nishino and Hiroki Hiroki Tsuji once again reminded his teammates.
"If you're really not sure, just guess it." Hiroki Tsuji said, "Remember what Xiaozhe told you last night."
"Well, we understand." Yuichiro Kajikawa, who was the eight-pointed player, nodded.
"Xiaozhe, do you have any ideas?"
Tsuji Hiroki saw that Tetsuki Nishino was thinking about something and asked.
"Oh? Oh..." Tetsu Nishino came to his senses.
"That's right. I think Matsusaka Shang is getting more and more anxious. Maybe it's the same in pitching. We can grab some balls and play."
"Is that true?" said Nao Ito. "It seems that it is."
In fact, Matsusaka High School did not score in several threatening attacks, and the score was still behind, so the players did become impatient.
But at least in terms of defense, Matsusaka Shang has done a good job so far. In the fifth game, Baishan still played the line in the second round, and Matsusaka Shang has started playing the line in the third round.
But now, Tetsu Nishino told them that Matsusaka Shang's garrison had an opportunity to take advantage of.
"At the beginning, the Matsusaka Chamber of Commerce used high balls to get good balls, but in fact the real decisive ball was low balls," explained Nishino Tetsuya.
Yuichiro Kajikawa and the others seized the time to listen.
The advice given by Tetsuya Nishino in the first grade unknowingly occupies a very important position in their third grade.
"From the data I analyzed, Matsusaka Sho's pitcher is also good at the ball path that is biased toward the inner corner, so it is easy to create ground rolling balls between two and three bases."
"Before every blow, seniors can pay attention to the position of the opponent's shortstop. If you stand forward, the pitcher will likely shoot the ball that is tilted down the inside corner..."
The rest time between each game will not be too long. Takashi Nishino can only mention a few more words at most. Soon the referee signaled the players to take the place.
In the first half of the five games, Shirayama High School's attack. The pioneer was Yuichiro Kajikawa, who was the eight-stick.
At the beginning of the pitching, Yuichiro Kajikawa found that Matsusaka Sumitsu's pitcher Haruki Yoshikawa's possession was very unstable, and even the bad shots were very poor.
This made him unable to fight.
So in the end, Yuichiro Kajikawa passively selected four bad balls and went to the first baseball bag.
The next hitter is Takashi Iwata of Jiubang.
Although Takashi Iwata knows that he will play too long at this prefecture conference, the overall play rate is not high, only more than 10%.
Despite this, he waited for a low center slide ball, hitting the center and outfield with a stick, forming a landing hit.
No one was out, there were people at one and three bases.
The reason why Yuichiro Kajikawa went to the third base was because he stole the second base while Iwada Takashi Wakata was waiting for the ball.
Then, because I felt that Takashi Iwada didn't hit the ball far enough, he only ran from second base to third base, and did not dare to go directly to home base.
"Request a suspension!" Supervisor Ishimura of Matsusaka Businessman immediately called for a suspension.
Yoshikawa Haruki was in poor condition, so Supervisor Ishimura quickly asked the team members to go up, adjust with him, and began to consider changing the bid.
In the previous few innings, Yoshikawa Haruki's pitching content was very good.
He was beaten 3 hits in four games and lost 2 points, but one point was a teammate's mistake, which was not considered his ego.
Moreover, he caught two double kills and two three up and three up and down. It can be said that except for the first game, all other games suppressed Bai Shan's attack.
However, now that the fifth inning has just begun, Yoshikawa Haruki let Baishan's back-end bats hitters go out continuously.
Many viewers in the stands noticed the slightly broken pitch.
After the Matsusaka Shang players returned to their respective positions, Takashi Nishino walked into the right strike zone with the bat.
At this time, the radio on the court reminded the players of Matsusaka Shang that the order of Baishan's attack began to be the third round: "One hit, catcher, Nishino-kun."
First hit, one hit.
The second shot was played, four bad balls were out of base.
In the first two play seats, Takashi Nishino successfully got out of the base. This time it was his third play seat, with two teammates standing on the base.
No one was out of the first and third base, Baishan High School's best offensive opportunity so far.
First ball.
Matsusaka Shoji catcher Abe Sukki matched up with a high-level straight ball, Yoshikawa Haruki regrouped and threw a straight ball pressed at the corner.
Tetsu Nishino let go.
1 good ball.
The second ball, in order to prepare for the low-ball ball, Matsusaka Shonka Abe Sukki equipped with a slide ball with a high outer corner.
The baseball finally dropped outside the corner high of the outside corner of the good ball area, and the number of balls went to 1 bad and 1 good.
"Are you standing a little bit ahead in the shortstop position? Is it just my illusion?" After looking at the location of Sanyou, Takashi Nishino thought to himself.
On the pitcher mound, Yoshikawa Haruki tried hard to open his body and shot the third shot.
When the baseball flew out of his hand and his fingertips finally left the baseball, he felt panic at this moment.
"call out!"
Although the baseball in his field of vision began to slide down, Takashi Nishino judged that the base point would not be too low, and it should be a high low-post slide.
So he began to pull the rod backward in advance, and then picked it to the lower right corner with force.
"Clang!"
After the ball was hit, it had its first contact with the ground.
It was already at a low angle, so the baseball quickly bounced up after touching the ground.
The powerful baton swing force made the ball bounce after landing, and did not lose much speed. Instead, it was accelerated and rushed forward suddenly.
In the eyes of everyone.
