Chapter 376 Semi-finals
“PlayBall!”
At the beginning of the game, Osaka Kirie Yuen's lead hitter was Miyazaki Hitoshi.
Squatting down to the catcher's seat, Tetsu Nishino glanced quietly at his left and saw that Miyazaki Hitoo had already held the bat and raised it up in the right strike zone.
"Hold a long stick."
"It seems that the first ball is not planned to be a good shot." Tetsushi Nishino thought.
As a vanguard, at the beginning, they will take on part of the task of observing the opponent's pitching path.
In traditional high school baseball games, the first batsman is usually played by a fast-paced player.
In recent years, many schools have put the best players in the first round of the ball, and have achieved good results. Therefore, the traditional high school baseball that only has a foot-course but often cannot get a base is no longer popular.
When Miyazaki Hitomiya held the stick in both hands, his right finger pressed on the bottom of the metal bat holding area, which was obviously a way to hold the long stick.
For high school players, the better way to hold the stick is to hold the upper finger slightly from the bottom.
This not only allows you to have a control stick, but also maintain the attack ability of external corner kicks.
The hitter's stick will unconsciously reveal their intention to strike.
Tetsu Nishino observed this and speculated that the possibility of Miyazaki Hitomiya's first few sticks was low.
First ball.
"The ball is low in the inner corner." Takashi Nishino directly attacked the ball.
Yamamoto Sakuya cooperated to shoot a straight ball with a low corner inside the good ball area.
133 km.
This first ball, Yamamoto Shuo made a good shot, and the ball speed went to his highest area.
“Good vote.”
After receiving the ball, Takashi Nishino stood up, nodded affirmatively while passing the ball, and took a look at the right strike area.
"Hu." Miyazaki Rento breathed and turned his shoulders.
When the ball came in just now, Miyazaki Hitoshi was only concerned about observing the ball path, holding the bat with both hands basically did not move.
"It's true." Tetsu Nishino made up his judgment again.
The second ball.
Tetsu Nishino also got another ball in the good ball area, but this time the ball from Yamamoto Shuoya missed one ball and fell into a bad ball.
After two goals, 1 is bad and 1 is good.
However, on the third ball, Miyazaki Hitoo became alert and hit the baseball that had slipped down from a higher position.
"Clang!"
The baseball was pulled and beaten up, flew backwards in an instant, crossed over the inland field, and landed on the lawn in front of the left outfield.
One hit.
Osaka Kirie-gee's pioneer attacker Miyazaki Hitoshi got on the first base bag.
"Oh..." Yamamoto Shuoya felt a little depressed.
The first time I took the board in Jiaziyuan, I was hit by the first hitter.
"No, I got the ball."
Yamamoto Shuoya received a baseball sent back from the outfield and signaled to the catcher seat.
Picking up the talc powder bag next to the pitcher mound, Yamamoto Shuoya pinched it, knowing that Osaka Kirigiri's line has been difficult to deal with since the first stick.
The team's playing rate is 0.310, with 6 home runs, and both records are Osaka Kirime, both of which are the first in this summer.
This means that any person in Osaka Kirige plays online and goes to other participating schools, they have the strength to be a center line player.
Osaka Kirigiri's style is to put pressure on opponent pitchers from the beginning, and Tetsuya Nishino and Shinami Yamamoto Shuoya both knew the difficulty of the start.
The next hitter is the second-ball Qingdi fighting dance.
In the first base side rest seat.
After the fighter Aodi Fighting Dance arrived at the attack area, Osaka's supervisor Hiroichi Nishitani made a series of secret code actions.
First, he patted his thighs with both hands a few times, then raised his left hand and wiped his chin, and finally clenched his fist with his right palm.
The Qingdi dance in the attack area and the three-stick Nakagawa Takuya were waiting to be beaten, both of them were looking at their rest seats and seeing the supervision movements.
Then.
"Do you touch it?" Takashi Nishino saw the green-eared dance in front of him and swayed the bat.
No one was out of first base, and someone was out of the game to push the runner to second base. This kind of strike sacrifice tactic is indeed an effective means of advancement in high school baseball.
To destroy the attack of the attacker, the defensive side also has many ways.
Through a high ball or a longitudinally changing ball, the hitter can be induced to point it into a flying ball in the infield.
Therefore, on the first and second balls, Tetsu Nishino was equipped with a bad ball that tricked Qingdi into fighting.
The result was unsuccessful.
After two bad balls, Takashi Nishino asked for a straight ball near the outer corner high, and he would definitely get one good ball.
Qingdi Doudian posed with the bat and pushed forward.
"when!"
Baseball was hit outside the bounds and counted as a good number of balls.
On this table, the arresters were going back and forth, and although there was no hit, the tension had spread among the players on the court.
Osaka Kiriege was determined to assist the runners in the second base.
Although people often say that baseball games start with two outs in nine games, in fact, most of the time, the first leading side is likely to win the final victory.
Japanese baseball attaches great importance to the concept of "first-order" and believes that it is particularly important to grab the first point at the beginning.
Tetsu Nishino tried his best to avoid the team's crisis of facing someone at the second base at the beginning.
"Bad balls at high positions bring straight balls."
This game, Tetsu Nishino tried to lure the hitter into a flying ball for the last time.
call out!
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
When the baseball entered the base, Qingdi Doudian gently pulled the bat and avoided the bad ball again.
As a result, the number of balls has reached 3, which is very unfavorable to the pitching side.
This ball was the result of the ball matching, so Takashi Nishino stood up with the ball at the first time and shouted: "It's OK to shoot."
"Um."
Yamamoto Shuoya pretended not to care, but just took off the ball cap and wiped his sweat, which still showed his pressure.
The next ball was thrown.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
Three bad balls and one good ball. Another bad ball.
"Four bad balls! The hitters come out!"
In the first half of the inning, Bai Shan encountered a crisis of losing points at the beginning of the first and second bases, and the audience in the stands started to talk.
"Four bad guys are recommended."
"It's not stable at the beginning, I gave me a base bag."
"It's so uncomfortable to get the lead at the beginning."
"It would be great if the hitter had just been hit. So far, the two of them have not been eliminated at the base, and they have lost a lot."
"Yes, I'm not saying that I'll send it to the second base for nothing now, and I won't get out."
"The catcher has gone up and see how to adjust."
Tetsu Nishino applied for a small timeout, walked up to the pitcher hill and communicated with Yamamoto Shuoya for a few words. After returning to the catcher's seat, he adjusted the positions of the basemen.
The positions of the first baseman and the third baseman are mentioned two or three meters before the base bag.
"Three sticks, third baseman, Nakagawa Jun."
The third hitter in Osaka Kirie Osaka came up.
The third-year Nakagawa Takashi is also the captain of Osaka Kirie. His playing rate in this conference is more than 30%, and his RBI scores are also as high as 4 points. He serves as the three-bat clearing player.
Nakagawa Takashi also entered the left attack area and stepped on the soil on the ground.
Then he habitually placed the head of the metal bat on the plate and slowly tweaked it a few times.
"bring it on!"
Raising the bat, Nakagawa Takashi was also confidently waiting for the ball.
At this time, as long as he hits a hit in the field, Miyazaki Intoku on the second base can return to home base by using the distance from base to score.
No one was eliminated at first and second bases, and Takashi Nishino could only do his best to win the elimination of Nakagawa Takuya.
However, after the baseball was thrown, something unexpected happened to Tetsu Nishino.
"when!"
In Nishino Tetsuya's vision, Nakagawa Takuro in front of him suddenly swung his bat and hit the ball forward.
The ball was pointed at the pitcher mound and landed on the infield soil.
Chapter completed!
