Four hundred and twentieth chapters defensive battle
The first stick at Suzuka High School was a left hitter, and he held the short stick as soon as he got up.
Since the hitter held the bat a little shorter, Takashi Nishino attacked the low outer corner that was farthest from his body.
In a row, three straight balls with low outer angles were obtained, and 1 bad and 2 good balls were caught. One swing was lost.
Then on the fourth goal, Tetsu Nishino played the ball code of the straight ball of the outer corner.
The ball was thrown and quickly drilled into the outer corner high.
Suzuka's hitter swung his baton to hit, but suddenly found that the ball's entry trajectory was a little higher, hitting the bottom of the flying baseball.
"Exit!" The left field high flying ball received the kill.
The second stick in Suzuka High School is also a left-handed player, and uses a normal grip with one finger off the bottom of the stick.
The ball menu Nishino Tetsuki gave him is the inner corner.
When the ball came in, the hitter looked like he was staring at the ball seriously and wanted to play, but Tetsu Nishino expected that he would not make a good shot.
The straight ball from the right shot was cut to the left hitter, and both straight balls were dropped into the inner corner. The first one was at the inner corner and the second one was at the inner corner.
After two good balls, the situation is no longer the target.
The third ball.
Seeing Tetsu Nishino's secret code, Matsuya Rishi on the pitcher mound smiled and nodded slightly, pitching the ball in a posture that didn't seem to require too much force.
The ball flew over, and the first third of the ball track seemed to run towards the outer corner.
The second-bar hitter at Suzuka High School swung the baton.
However, after seeing the last ball road, he was shocked and it was too late to stop it.
In order to touch the ball, the hitter in the left attack area was squeezed.
With a large horizontal movement and a drop, the ball slid from the outer corner into the inner corner when entering the base, and was rubbed by the metal bat that barely leaned over.
"Clang!"
"First baseman!" Tetsu Nishino looked at the Ino teammate who was rolling over to the position.
The second-shot hitter at Suzuka High School failed to hit the slip ball with a large displacement in the base, and the first base was rolled to the ground and was blocked.
"Two out!"
The garrison in the first game was successfully eliminated by two games, which was a good omen for Bai Shan, but the reality is that they are still a team that needs to be run-in.
Suzuka High School's three and four consecutive hits, and they also captured a circle as if responding to White Mountain's attack in the first half of the inning.
Two outs, one and two bases were out.
The hitter was the turn of Suzuka High School’s five-stick, a right-handed player.
Nishino Tetsuohiko swept to the upper left and saw the hitter reaching the bottom of the bat holding section with his left hand.
Either Suzuka's supervision gave specific blow instructions, or the hitter was confident in his or her ball-fighting skills. The similarity between the two was that they both targeted hits.
Such hitters tend to end the mat with a baton and prefer to play balls that can push outfield.
Tetsu Nishino issued a secret code.
"Curve ball."
“The outer angle is low.”
The slow-speed curveball that is above 100 kilometers is a powerful tool for destroying the beater's rhythm.
A curved ball with a large angle bent throwing arc is hit, and most of the people appear as earth-rolling balls.
The five-stick hitter at Suzuka High School also knew this, so he just watched the ball fly over the plate and fall into the catcher's glove.
"Bang!"
"nice shot!"
Matsuya Takishi understood Nishino Tetsu's intention and tried to control the ball at the edge of the good ball area and shot a good ball that fell into the low corner of the outer corner.
"Sure enough, I'm impatient."
While taking out the ball and passing it to the pitcher, Takashi Nishino observed the attacker's reaction.
Suzuka's five-stick hitter held the strike helmet with his right hand, held the bat with his left hand and lowered the head of the stick, turned around and looked at his rest seat.
If the pitcher can throw the bell ball to the edge of the good ball area from time to time, the hitter will feel very uncomfortable because he doesn't know when he will come to another bell ball with a large arc and a larger speed difference.
Tetsu Nishino thought to himself that the hitter might be asking the supervisor whether to change his baton swing strategy at this time.
From the perspective of the hitter, if the area in the lower half is constantly attacked, even if the ball path that changes downwards easily turns into a rolling earth, you have to continue to hit it.
Suzuka's five-stick hitters held up the stick again to wait for the ball.
"The attack strategy remains unchanged?" Tetsu Nishino observed that his preparation posture was consistent with the previous goal.
This shows that the result of the fighter communicating with the supervisor is likely to maintain the original sniper ball path, and Tetsu Nishino also guessed some.
Straight balls are the highest proportion in baseball games and are also the type of ball with the largest number of balls.
It just so happened that the straight ball was considered a weapon ball by Matsuya Rishi, so Takashi Nishino followed the trend and equipped it with a straight ball, which was at a high position.
"Clang!"
The ball flew over and was hit by the swinged bat.
The moment he saw the hit point at the baseball, Takashi Nishino pushed away the catcher mask he was wearing, got up, raised his head and rushed out of the home base area.
Flying balls behind home plate.
Those who acted at the same time as Takashi Nishino also had the third baseman, the chief judge, and the third base judge.
"Click!"
The ball fell in the central stand behind home plate, and no one received the ball from outside.
He walked back with the catcher's helmet. Nishino Tetsuya secretly felt a pity and immediately did not feel annoyed.
Matsuya Rishi's straight ball has a slightly higher speed than that of ordinary pitchers in Mie Prefecture, and the approximate base position will be half a ball position higher.
It is precisely the gap between this small half of the ball. So far, Suzuka's hitter has not been able to catch the ball path, and the result of swinging straight balls at high positions has been hit into a flying ball several times.
Back at the catcher's seat, Takashi Nishino took the catcher's mask that Suzuka beater helped pick up and said thank you.
However, under the friendly attitude of the players on both sides, the number of balls is tense.
Two outs, one and two bases have some, 0 bad and 2 good.
The hitter put the bat on his shoulder for a while and then raised it carefully.
Seeing his preparation posture, Takashi Nishino took a small step to the right and squatted behind the outer corner.
A catcher has a squat requirement that you should not squat too early, otherwise the hitter may guess the ball path based on the position of the catcher squat.
Catchers who are confident in their response and speed to catch the ball will not be affected by this requirement, and sometimes even use the squat position to counter-routine hitters.
On the pitching mound, Matsuye Li Xin pitched the ball down.
Seeing the initial ball road coming towards the center of the good ball area, Suzuka's five-shot hitter suddenly swung the bat without thinking.
And something that surprised him happened.
Just before baseball was about to enter the base, the ball path of the ball changed rapidly.
The originally positive ball path suddenly moved significantly towards the outer corner.
The swinging bat is more than 20 cm away from the ball sliding over the plate.
In the outer corner, Takashi Nishino received the ball with his backhand, stood up and looked at the referee, and got the expected result.
"The hitter is out!"
Tetsuya Nishino and Tatsushi Matsuya used a sliding ball with a large trajectory to catch a swing and achieved the third best shot in the game.
Therefore, in the second half of the first game, all three outs were generated, and Suzuka High School's offense failed.
Chapter completed!
