"Shirashan High School first-year pitcher Kazuya Nishino made a touch ball, and Horio Horio hitter was therefore out to first base." commentator Eiyu Hojo said.

"spread--!"

"In the second half of the five innings, there was someone out of the first base, and the hitter was Otaya Yuki, a player from Qibang!"

After entering the left strike zone, Ooya Hashi turned back to the rest seat on the first base side, nodding at the instructions of Supervising Kenji Okaku.

The ball was thrown from the pitching mound.

"Clang!"

He took the first ball without hesitation, and Tatsuya Hashi immediately swung the baton and hit it back.

The baseball flew backwards instantly, crossed the first baseman, Yumori Shiyuan's head, and landed outside the right field line.

"Outside the boundary!"

Hatsuya, who had just run out for two steps, walked back to the strike zone, while the runner Horio Hiromaki, who was first base in the inland field, ran to the second base and walked back to the first base when he saw this.

"Take it away?" Takashi Nishino asked the chief judge for a clean ball and passed it up.

The tactics of the Bodega Academy this time were revealed. The seven-stick hitter Otaya Hashiba actively swung his baton and hit the ground, and cooperated with the first base Hiromaki Horio to push one or two base bags.

At this time, the strikeout is an effective countermeasure.

Tetsu Nishino estimated that the hitter might miss some unfavorable change balls, so he then provided a slide ball in the good ball area.

Before pitching, Kazuya Nishino glanced at the runner before swaying his arm.

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

The ball was shot too high and was not suppressed at all. It was nearly half a meter from the good ball area. It was very uncomfortable for Tetsu Nishino to catch it.

"Relax, your shoulders are too stiff."

Tetsu Nishino had to slow down the pitching pace, and at the same time he played a secret code to signal Kazuya Nishino to shoot several times to suppress the first base runners far away from the base.

After passing the ball with a hand, Nishino Kazuya was about to pitch to the home base, so he didn't go to see Hiromaki Horio at first base.

"It should be fine, right?"

After matching a high straight ball, Tetsu Nishino set up his catcher gloves and waited for the ball to be thrown.

On the pitcher mound, Kazuya Nishino made the third goal after 1 bad and 1 good.

"Um?!"

Looking at the route of the baseball flying over, Tetsu Nishino's heart tightened, as if he had seen the result in advance, and his face became very ugly.

The last goal was too high, and this goal became a deliberate pushdown.

"If the ball is too high and the straight ball is lowered, it is not a temptation ball... I can only look at the reaction of the fielders."

When he stretched out his left hand to catch the ball, Takashi Nishino basically had no hope for the hitter to give up the baton.

Sure enough, the silver-white bat swung past in his sight.

"Clang!"

The crisp sound of hitting the ball rang as expected, and the baseball flew backwards quickly between first and second bases.

In the first and second basemen of the inland field, second baseman Kenjiro Ishida fell to the ground and rushed over. His arm stretched out as much as possible, but he still couldn't touch the ball.

despair!

The powerful hit caused the ball to fly very quickly. After hitting the edge of the inner field, the remaining speed rolled to the right field without decreasing.

The first base runner Horio Hiromaki, who started early, ran quickly in the inland field, stepped on the second base bag, and continued to sprint towards the third base.

Seeing the right fielder Komata Meteor rushed over and picked up the ball, Takashi Nishino immediately raised his hand to signal.

"Passing the second base!"

At this time, runner Horio Hiromaki was a few steps away from the third base, and it was too late to pass the third base. Since this was the case, it would be better to pass the second base to prevent the hitter Otoya Hashiya from entering the base.

"Press the hitter at first base, at least you can try to catch a double kill." Takashi Nishino thought, looking at Otaya Hashi who was parked at the first base.

"A crossing hit between one and two bases!" Hojo Eiyu explained.

"In the second half of the five innings, there are people who are out of the first and third bases, and Baode Academy has an excellent chance to score points!"

"It's the fighter's turn to play Tomoya Watanabe who just made the first half of the game!"

The reel of Baode Academy entered the lower hitter. If the attack was cut from here, there would still be a chance to spend half the game without losing points.

It is precisely because of this that Supervisor Kenji Okaku decisively issued the order to sacrifice and beat.

Generally speaking, the pitcher has a large arm strength and is sufficient in hitting strength. Therefore, Tomoya Watanabe scored a very far-reaching high-flying ball, landing a few meters in front of the middle and outfield wall.

The moment the backbone Kyotaro Ichikawa received the ball, the runner Hiromaki Horio who was stepping on the third base bag immediately ran to home base with all his strength.

Before the ball was passed back, Horio Hiromaki stepped on the home plate and scored 1 point for Joe Academy.

“3 to 1!”

"The second half of the fifth bureau, the Jode Academy, recovered one point!"

Shortstop Shogo Kuriyama received the ball at the edge of the inland field. When he turned around, he saw Tatsuya Hashi still stepped on the first base bag.

"The opponent is also a team that is cautious when winning one point at a time. It seems that it will not take any risk." Tetsu Nishino squatted in the catcher's seat again.

"Nine sticks, third baseman, Osaki kun."

Before pitching, Tetsu Nishino pushed up his mask and shouted at the pitcher mound: "Pitch one goal and one shot, and you can just get rid of the hitter one by one!"

"PlayBall!" The referee signaled that the pitching shot began.

The first ball, the straight ball in the outer corner was successfully stuffed in and got a good number of balls.

The second goal was Nishino Kazuya's straight shot from the outside corner, and the bad ball that was a little far away did not catch the hitter Hidema Osaki.

Yamamoto Shuoya, a third-year-old in the bullpen, is already warming up the pitch. Once Nishino Kazuya starts from here, Supervisor Totakuji will consider changing the pitch.

"Hu——" Kazuya Nishino touched his nose.

After adjusting for four or five seconds, he swung his arm suddenly and threw a high-slide ball from Nishino Tetsuma.

"Clang!"

"Outside the boundary!"

"It may not be possible to play the inside corner change ball well, and the hitter also made a stick." Seeing Hidema Osaki who was not hitting the right strike zone, Takashi Nishino guessed that he wanted to make another hit before Shiratsuyama changed the shot.

"1 bad 2 good, so if that's the case, a speed ball will come after the slide."

Tetsu Nishino played the secret code of the straight ball in the center and asked for a straight ball that suppressed the hitter at the speed of the ball.

He pushed the mask on it, and Tetsu Nishino smiled and said, "The ball was thrown very well just now." Then he squatted behind the home plate in a straight posture, with gloves placed in the middle.

On the pitcher mound, Kazuya Nishino thought that he would not be able to make a good shot and his seniors were there, so his tense mood slowed down.

The baseball suddenly flew out of Kazuya Nishino's hands.

Watching the baseball fly closer, Tetsu Nishino opens his gloves and waits for the ball to fall into it.

The baseball in sight expands rapidly, and it is impossible for a catcher to close his eyes at this time.

At this moment, in addition to his gloves and flying baseball, another waving object suddenly appeared in Nishino's eyes.

Then two objects wiped by within a few seconds.

"Bang!"

Takashi Nishino held up his catcher gloves and felt his arm slight shock.

“Received!”

Feeling the force of the ball entering the glove with his arm, Takashi Nishino looked up slightly, looking at Hidema Osaki who was posing after swinging the baton on his left side in front of him.

Tetsu Nishino realized that with the help of speed difference and ball type changes, the ball defeated the hitter head-on.

"The hitter is out!"

The referee behind him shouted out, and Tetsu Nishino stood up and passed the ball to his teammates who were caddies on the sidelines, and then walked back to the rest seat with Kazuya Nishino.

“142 km straight ball!”

"Shock off with air swing!!!"

"Three out!"
Chapter completed!
