Chapter 51: The choice of attack

In the first half of the inning, it was a first-grade offense with no one out and someone on third base.

Although this situation is very beneficial to the first-year team, at the same time they also have a choice problem, that is, which scoring method should be chosen and whether they should change their original plan.

Because this situation was much better than what Tetsu Nishino had imagined, they were faced with a difficult choice. Originally, Tetsu Nishino thought he would have to get one out to push him to third base, but he didn't expect that he would have no one out now.

He had already stolen third base.

At this time, the first-year team can have many offensive methods.

Score points and hit.

Gao Fei sacrificed the fight.

Hits.

Generally speaking, teams that are confident in the hitting ability of subsequent hitters will choose to hit as many hits as possible to create more on-base and scoring opportunities.

However, considering the first-year batting level, Tetsu Nishino decided to proceed with the original plan. After all, their batting strength has not been tested yet, and there is a high probability that they will not be able to score hits. So if they score first, they can ease the subsequent blows.

pressure.

So Tetsu Nishino gave the signal to proceed as planned.

Score points and hit.

Naohiko Tamura, the first-year team's second-choice player, nodded imperceptibly and firmly decided to attack.

However, Tamura Naohiko is quite knowledgeable about striking. He used to perform this tactic often when he was in junior high school. No matter how bad he is, he will not be as eye-catching as Tetsu Nishino.

1 good ball and 1 bad ball.

This means that whether the next ball is a good ball or a bad ball, the hitter Naohiko Tamura must decisively hit the baseball and must keep the baseball in bounds.

At the same time, third base runner Tetsu Nishino must be resolute in starting and rushing the base. As long as the batter hits the ball, regardless of whether the baseball is hit in bounds, the runner must start and run back to home plate.

Hitting for a run requires a tacit coordination of rhythm between the hitter and the runner.

Faced with the crisis of losing runs, Hiroki chose to let the infield move forward to defend. If losing runs is unavoidable, then try your best to stop the loss and steadily win as many outs as you can get.

And maybe the hitting level of hitter Naohiko Tamura is as bad as Tetsu Nishino.

It may not even be possible to get a double kill by then. Hiroki thought optimistically.

After the baseball is pitched.

"clang"

Naohiko Tamura clicked lightly.

"despair!"

The baseball landed in bounds on the first base side, rolled slowly along the sideline, and never seemed to go out of bounds.

It was a very beautiful hit that made the players on the field very uncomfortable. The baseball just happened to fall between the catcher, pitcher, and first baseman, and it took a long time for anyone to pick it up.

"I'll do it!"

Hong Shu shouted simply to prevent the three people from rushing together.

He rushed forward, picked up the baseball, and passed it to first base.

First baseman Shion Arimori caught the baseball and blocked out Naohiko Tamura who was still running. Taking advantage of this time, Tetsu Nishino ran back to home plate smoothly and stepped on the plate.

The first grade team got the first point.

1:0!

Tetsu Nishino returned to the dugout and high-fived his excited teammates one by one. He also exchanged fists with Naohiko Tamura.

"Nicely ordered, Tamura-san."

Now that there is no one on base, you can change your attack style.

Tetsu Nishino found Reita Oishi as the third batsman and Taita Iba as the fourth batsman. If one person is out, the two of them will definitely come on to attack.

"Oishi-san, Ibo-san, just wait and attack according to your own ideas."

Nishino Tetsu discussed with them and said.

If there is no one on base, another hit will be needed to create a scoring opportunity, so Tetsu Nishino suggested that they use their own judgment to play.

Moreover, you can also obtain further information about the pitcher's game through three- and four-bat strikes in order to adjust subsequent tactical arrangements.

"Well, the two of us will do our best." Dashi Lingyu replied.

"It's no problem, Chesang. We are in the center of the line, so we have to create some trouble for the seniors' defense."

Iba Tata put his hand on Oishi Reitama's shoulder and added.

After hearing what they said, Tetsuya Nishino felt that there was no big problem, so he said: "Okay, then you guys hurry up and get on the field."

The sound of the radio sounded at the right time.

"The next hitter on the first grade team,"

"Three bats, second baseman, Oishi-kun."

Oishi Reita stood in the striking area, while Iba Tata waited in the waiting area.

However.

After struggling with the ball for a few times.

"Qiang"

"It's so heavy!"

After hitting the ball, Oishi Lingyu knew that he had not played well. The quality of the ball was much heavier than he thought, and he could not hit it far with his strength.

Oishi Reita immediately dropped the bat and ran the bases desperately, hoping that the seniors' fielding would make a mistake and allow him to get on base.

However, second baseman Yuichiro Kawakawa did not give Oishi Reita a chance. He steadily caught the baseball that bounced towards him and passed the ball very smoothly, allowing first baseman Shion Arimori to catch the ball easily and blocked the return.

Reitama Oishi did not step on the first base ball.

"How is it? Is it difficult to fight out?"

When Oishi Reitama walked down the strike zone, Iba Tata had a little exchange with him.

"It's indeed a bit difficult to hit...the quality of the ball is much heavier than the soft ball, so you have to pay attention.", Oishi Lingyu replied. He is not a power hitter himself, and the senior team's pitcher also specializes in low-ball pitching.

The ball tricked him into hitting, but he had no way to retrieve it. When he was about to be struck out, he could only grit his teeth and force an infield ball.

"The next hitter on the first grade team is,"

"Four sticks, strong hand, Ibo-kun."

When Tata Iba walked into the strike zone, he flexed his strong muscles and murmured: "If the quality of the ball is just heavier than the soft ball, I should be able to carry it out with strength..."

After getting ready, the head referee, Supervisor Higashikata, signaled that the pitching could begin.

Hiroki remembered that although this sturdy junior had good hitting power, he seemed to be choosing the ball. In this case, Hiroki already had the idea of ​​​​matching the ball.

"Crack!"

"Strike. Batter out!"

"Three outs, exchange offense and defense!"

Strike out on an empty swing.

This is Tata Iba's performance this time.

After testing Iba Tata's pitch selection ability, Hiroki boldly struck out him with a combination of straight balls and curve balls.

Ibota reluctantly took off his batting helmet and walked off the field. He wanted to hit a hit, but he couldn't find an opportunity and was tricked into leaving the bat.

After returning to the dugout, they drank a few sips of water before getting ready to take the field.

Over there for the senior class.

Being scored first by their juniors, they were not too frustrated. After all, it was still early in the game, and there were many opportunities to equalize and overtake. Seniors like them have seen this kind of scene many times, so they should not be too happy before the game is over.
