"Crack!!"

Under everyone's gaze.

That white shadow spanned the entire width of the court!

It hit the ball blocking net on one side of the court hard!

A powerful blow over 120 meters!

However......

"Foul ball!"

The base umpire made a foul ball action. The baseball that flew across the entire side of the field was just a foul ball very close to the sideline and did not constitute a home run.

"call"

The players in the junior high school collectively breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Tetsu Nishino.

Almost!

so close!

Nishino Tetsu-senpai's striking power is probably too strong.

Catcher Okada Masuki looked at Nishino Tetsu who was frowning because he thought he didn't hit well, and couldn't help but be speechless.

Although Tetsu Nishino doesn't look particularly strong against the background of his jersey, his muscles are actually very explosive. If opponents only look at Tetsu Nishino's slender and well-proportioned body, they will think that he is not a powerful hitter, and they will suffer a big loss.

but.

It's not just a strike force.

Okada Masuki secretly thought that he felt as if the ball just made him break out in a cold sweat. As a catcher, he observed it very clearly.

Terrible dynamic vision!

Horrible ball path judgment!

Tetsu Nishino-senpai took a decisive shot at the in-corner straight ball that slightly drifted into the strike zone.

Okada Masuki had to admit that the baseball level of their junior high school students was really incapable of dealing with high school hitters of this level. It fully reflected the gap between high school students and junior high school students and made him lose the last trace of his luck.

Next ball.

"Snapped!"

"Bad ball!"

"Four balls! Batter on base."

Okada Masaki stood up, signaled to pitcher Toshiya Itaguchi that it was okay, and concentrated on dealing with the next batter. Tetsuya Nishino put down his bat, ran to first base, took off his protective gear and handed it to his teammates who came to help.

Two outs and first base occupied.

However.

The next batter in the second base batted after watching a few pitches. The batted baseball was caught by the shortstop of the junior high school, and the batter was thrown out. Tetsuya Nishino, who took the opportunity to run to second base, failed to run, leaving him.

The next base ends.

In the first half of the third game, the second team did not score, and the score was still 1:2.

As the two teams slowly entered the game, neither team found a good scoring opportunity.

In the second half of the third game, the offense of the junior high school.

A batter in the junior high school struck out.

The junior middle school two-hitter caught a fly ball in left field.

The junior high school's three batters and the second baseman made an error, resulting in a single that crossed the infield.

Two outs, first base occupied.

Score 1:2.

Four-hitter, catcher, Masaki Okada.

Okada Masaki stood on the strike zone, tidied the ground with his feet, then raised the bat and stared at Teruaki Tatsumi on the pitcher's mound. With two outs, he had to hit an effective hit to continue the ball.

team's offense.

However, Tetsu Nishino and his teammates gradually adapted to the atmosphere of the game, and their fielding became much more stable than at the beginning. Tetsu Nishino even captured Okada's eagerness to hit a hit, and struck out him with an outside slider.

"Three out! Exchange offense and defense!"

"Nice pitching!" Tetsu Nishino said with a smile to Teruaki Tatsumi as he walked off the pitcher's mound.

Teruaki Tatsumi accepted Tetsu Nishino's words calmly. In this inning, he faced the upper line of the junior high school and struck out two without giving up any runs. His pitching performance was very good.

In the first game, I lost 2 points.

In the second game, three up and three down.

In the third inning, facing the top line, he struck out twice.

Among them, he struck out Makuki Okada, the catcher with the highest hitting level in the junior high school!

Second-year pitcher Teruaki Tatsumi's game has improved significantly, which reflects his strength as a junior high school baseball player. There is a huge gap in baseball level between high school students and junior high school students, especially when facing juniors, game experience, and pitching power.

, there is a gap in ball control levels.

When you lose a run in the first inning, the responsibility of fielding is heavier. If there are many fielding errors, the catcher's distribution will be restricted, and the pitcher will naturally feel very uncomfortable throwing.

He lost 2 points in the first game. It can be said that he paid tuition for Tetsu Nishino and other teammates.

............

Spring afternoons always have a lazy atmosphere, which makes people feel sleepy.

On such a spring afternoon, on the simple baseball field of Baishan High School, a baseball game between two teams of teenagers was immersed in the drifting warm wind.

The young players shouted to each other energetically, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic and high. The teenagers who were involved in the game gradually forgot their identities as seniors and enjoyed the fun of the baseball game itself.

"Yo ss ss ss!"

"Nice!"

"Daddy, daddy, daddy!"

"Fight it out!"

"Defend, defend, defend!"

Slide, swing, catch, pitch, field.

Even though the competitive level of the game is not very high, the players of both teams still enthusiastically cheer for their players. Every successful attack and every successful defense will receive the same applause and encouragement.

"Yeah!"

After getting three outs again, junior catcher Okada Masuki and pitcher Toshiya Itaguchi cheered at each other.

Although in the first half of the fourth inning, one of the batters in the second corps hit a single, they still managed to get four on and three off without losing any runs.

In the second half of the fourth round, it was the junior high school’s turn to attack.

score:

Second Army:1

Junior high school:2

The first batter was the fifth bat of the junior high school. With 3 balls and 2 strikes, a high straight ball thrown by the second base pitcher Teruaki Tatsuki was swept to the direction of the second baseman. As a result, the second baseman was second.

The baseman misjudged the landing point of the baseball and did not jump high enough, causing the baseball to fall on the grass behind him, resulting in a single.

The second batter, a junior high schooler, was deceived by Tetsu Nishino into a six-bat, and he didn't swing the bat when faced with a red ball, and was struck out directly.

"One out!" Tetsu Nishino shouted.

The third hitter, seven hits in the junior high school.

One out and one man on base.

On the first pitch, a low curve ball, the batter did not swing the bat and could only watch the ball fall into the strike zone.

1 good ball and 0 bad ball.

For the second ball, Tetsu Nishino played a low straight ball from the inside corner.

"call out"

Baseball is coming!

"Steal a base!!!", the first baseman shouted when he saw the runner starting at full strength.

The batter in the strike zone also swung the bat without hesitation, trying to cover his teammate who was trying to steal the base.

Hit and run!

However......

The runner in the junior high school chose the fastest straight ball to steal the base. Catcher Nishino Tetsu was waiting for him to rush the base!
