The next day, afternoon.

The light blue sky is like a piece of clean velvet, with a golden sun embedded on it, and pieces of white clouds are floating in the clear sky like solitary sails on the blue sea.

A residential baseball field in Hakusan Town.

"Fight it out, Tanaka-san!"

"Tanaka-san, give me a hit!"

"The best chance, Ganba Daddy!"

Those who were cheering and cheering were members of the Hakusan Town amateur baseball team, a group of middle-aged men who were generally potbellied.

The score at this time is 4:1.

Second Army:4

Amateur Team:1

The current situation is in the bottom half of the seventh inning, with two outs and someone on second base. The amateur team's last chance to attack.

Since this game is an amateur friendly match, the balls used are soft balls. The total number of games is only seven, which is two less than the regular game. If there is a tie, there will be no extension games, and the two sides will directly shake hands and make a draw.

After all, uncles play baseball just to experience and have fun, and winning or losing is secondary.

So when it was the amateur team's organizer Masao Tanaka's turn to hit the field, the uncles still cheered happily.

Tanaka Masao, the manager of a convenience store in Hakusan Town, is the captain of this amateur baseball team. And as the ob of the Hakusan High School Baseball Club, he is also the leader of the Hakusan High School Baseball Club’s cheering group, and often organizes people in Hakusan Town to support baseball

As a supporter for the club's games, I have always been paying close attention to the baseball club.

In this game, most of the seniors from the second corps played the outfield position, so the pitcher was Kazuya Nishino and the catcher was Tetsu Nishino.

Although the overall level of the amateur team is limited, the uncles are all veteran bats who have played baseball together for many years. The twists and turns on the field are enough to fool Nishino Tetsu and the pair.

And because Kazuya Nishino retired in the summer of his third year of junior high school, he has been training and playing with the high school team, and he pitched hard baseball. Now he is asked to play soft ball again. For a while, he felt that he was not able to pitch smoothly and control the ball.

It's also a bit unstable.

Uncle Masao Tanaka looked stocky and stocky. After walking up to the hitting area with a metal bat, he kept digging the soil on the hitting area with his sneakers. I saw him digging up the soil, slowly spreading it, and then stepping on it firmly.

.

After going back and forth several times, Masao Tanaka nodded and politely signaled to the referee that he was ready.

"palyball!"

The umpire pointed to the pitcher's mound.

"Uncle Tanaka, what are you doing? Do you want to disturb me with such clumsy movements? How could I be disturbed by these things?"

On the pitcher's mound, Kazuya Nishino muttered to himself.

Just as he was about to throw out the first pitch according to Tetsu Nishino's instructions, Kazuya Nishino suddenly discovered a scene that puzzled him.

Uh, what is Uncle Tanaka doing?!

Kazuya Nishino was stunned when he looked at Masao Tanaka's preparation movements on the strike zone.

Masao Tanaka actually held the bat in front of him on the strike zone and spun the bat.

It's not a one-turn movement, but a continuous circle. It's a bit like an acrobat's stick-twirling movement.

The bat was spinning like a windmill in Masao Tanaka's hands, which even stunned Nishino Tetsu behind the plate.

Si... Si Guoyi.

Uncle Tanaka is very good at playing.

But can you hit the ball this way?

Nishino Tetsu was thinking wildly.

On the first pitch, without knowing what Tanaka Masao's intention was, he made a bad pitch.

Masao Tanaka completely ignored the bad ball and watched the baseball go into Tetsuya Nishino's glove. He also tapped the home plate with the bat, then pointed the bat at Kazuya Nishino on the pitcher's mound and shouted.

"Kazuya-chan, you're not good at shooting this ball!"

On the second pitch, Nishino Kazuya made a bad pitch when Nishino Tetsu's pitch was a strike.

As a result, Masao Tanaka jumped up and made a sword-pointing gesture in the air.

"Pfft, haha."

Nishino Kazuya was directly amused by Uncle Tanaka's funny actions.

Nishino Tetsuya, who was squatting and hunting, almost laughed out loud.

What's this?

Funny blow?

Needless to say, this trick actually worked, and their catcher and pitcher were obviously affected.

The ball matching is messed up.

The pitch missed.

The third ball was hit out of bounds.

The fourth ball was hit out of bounds again.

…

Unknowingly, Tetsu Nishino and the others spent seven balls but failed to get Masao Tanaka's out count, and were in a stalemate with two outs.

The eighth ball.

"call out!"

It was a very hit straight ball, but the ball speed didn't pick up.

As a result, Uncle Masao Tanaka hit him hard and hit a double. The runner on second base ran back to home plate to score. Masao Tanaka also went to second base and said proudly.

"Xiao Zhe, Xiao Kazuya, you two are still too young, hahaha."

Nishino Tetsu: "..."

Nishino Kazuya: "..."

…………

The happy time always goes by so fast. In the end, Tetsu Nishino and the others got the last number of outs and ended the game.

The score was also fixed at 4:2.

"Damn it, Uncle Tanaka is too cunning. How can he make others laugh during the game? This is hindering the normal game!"

When walking back to school, Nishino Kazuya, who lost 2 points, was chattering away.

"But there is no rule in the competition against using alternative strike preparation postures. Uncle Tanaka's movements are not provoking his opponent."

Tetsu Nishino said that it was an eye-opener for him today. It was also the first time for him to encounter such a situation. It turns out that baseball can still be played like this.

However, Masao Tanaka cares about their baseball club very much and often sends condolences to them. For example, the sports drinks Tetsu Nishino and the others usually drink were given by Masao Tanaka.

Although the seniors who graduated from Hakusan High School are not celebrities, their willingness to give back to the school is no weaker than those celebrities.

Always try his best to help solve the baseball club's financial problems.

When they returned to the stadium, they found that Masao Tanaka had already driven over first.

Nishino Kazuya asked: "Uncle Tanaka, why are you here?"

"Haha, Kazuya-chan, we meet again."

Masao Tanaka said with a smile.

"I performed well in today's game. I went back and thought about whether you had finished the last time's gifts, so I sent some more."

Kato Monamemei also noticed what was going on here and came over and said, "Uncle Tanaka, why did you send condolences again? You haven't finished the last one."

"Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Just eat more."

Uncle Masao Tanaka joked.

Kato Monami scolded: "Uncle Tanaka spoiled them."

After saying that, she asked Nishino Tetsu and others who happened to be nearby to help move the things.

Nishino Kazuya looked at these condolences and felt silently hurt.

Um......

Uncle Tanaka performed well, he just hit my ball well...
Chapter completed!
