The sound of the broadcast sounded, indicating that Tetsu Nishino and the others would face the senior team's center line again.

"In the bottom half of the eighth inning, the attack of the senior team. The batter coming on is, third baseman, Arimori-kun."

Shion Arimori took the first goal as soon as she came up.

"Qiang!"

The baseball was hit high and far.

The right fielder rushed over and tried to catch the foul ball, but after struggling forward, he still couldn't catch it.

The baseball fell to the ground.

"Out of bounds!"

Unable to seize the opportunity to kill, Tetsu Nishino regretfully put on his mask again.

For the next two consecutive balls, Tetsu Nishino carefully guided Tatsuki Teruaki, not daring to be careless.

The second pitch slider was passed by Shion Arimori and fell into the strike zone.

The third pitch, a straight pitch by Teruaki Tatsumi, was a bad ball.

1 ball, 2 strikes. The batter is forced.

On the fourth ball, Tetsu Nishino chose to match a curve ball.

After Tatsuki Teruaki saw the secret signal, he quietly changed the grip of his fingers. At the same time, he raised his legs and stepped out, swinging his arms.

"call out"

However, the ball’s path is rather straight!

"Qiang!"

Shion Arimori swung the bat decisively on the curveball, which was obviously a miss, and swept the ball to left field.

After the ball hit the ground, it was picked up and passed back, but by this time Shion Arimori had already reached first base.

One hit.

The first batter of the inning reached base again, and Tetsu Nishino stood up a little helpless.

Next batter.

Four sticks, Hongshu!

All three batters hit base today!

When no one is out and there is a man on first base, the opponent is facing an absolutely powerful bat. In this difficult situation, losing runs is inevitable.

"Captain, it's up to you!"

"Sang, Ganba Daddy!"

"Go ahead and get the big one!"

The seniors of the senior team shouted cheers, hoping that the captain would completely defeat the opponent.

The cheers of the seniors affected the players of the first-year team. Every fielder looked embarrassed and sighed in their hearts: Oh, I really can't stop it.

On the pitcher's mound, Tatsumi Teruaki looked worried. He was not confident that he could throw the ball without being hit by Hiroki, and he felt panic rising in his heart.

What should I do? Senior will definitely hit my ball...

"Ask for a timeout!"

Sensing Tatsuki Teruaki's wavering, Nishino Tetsu asked Supervisor Higashi Takuji for a suspension.

Get on the mound.

"Tatsuki-san, what's wrong?" Tetsu Nishino asked softly.

"Ah...Sorry, I asked Zhesang to come up again..."

After wiping away his sweat, Tatsumi Teruaki apologized, "I'm sorry, I may have lost a lot of points this time..."

Just like last time...

Tatsuki Teruaki thought sadly, his ball was not as impactful as Nishino Kazuya, and it was common for him to be hit out.

"If Tatsumi-san is still thinking about the last game, I am the one who should say sorry!"

What Tetsu Nishino said surprised Tatsumi Teruaki.

It turns out that Chesang knows that I care.

"Tatsuki-san,"

Staring into Tatsumi Teruaki's eyes, Tetsu Nishino said seriously.

"actually,"

"I think your curveball is as powerful a weapon as Kazuya's straight ball!"

"Eh!?"

"After that game, I have been sorting out the pitching characteristics of you and Kazuya for so many days, and I have gained a lot. I think as long as you can throw your best curve ball,"

"It will definitely surprise the seniors!"

"Tatsuki-san, I'm looking forward to your pitching,"

Tetsu Nishino smiled and patted Tatsuki Teruaki's arm, "Believe in yourself!"

Looking at Nishino Tetsu in surprise, Tatsuki Teruaki felt trust and sincerity from his words, and the panic in his heart also disappeared.

"Um!"

"Thank you, Chesang, I'll be fine!"

"Then I'll go down and let's deal with the attacker with all our strength."

After seeing Teruaki Tatsuki showing a smile, Tetsu Nishino returned to home plate.

Watching Tetsu Nishino crouching behind home plate, Teruaki Tatsuki's heart arose.

He has always been playing as a substitute for Kazuya Nishino. When Kazuya Nishino was suppressing hitters with his fast straight ball, Teruaki Tatsumi's pitching seemed to have become featureless.

An average straight ball, an average changeup ball, and an average psychological quality. No one has ever told him that they are looking forward to his pitching.

Thank you, Zhesang. Chen Jihui said openly and secretly.

After the game resumed, Higashi Takuji signaled to start pitching.

"playball!"

After a few balls.

Concentrating on dealing with the batter's pitching, Hiroki quickly got 2 bad balls and 2 strikes.

Next ball.

At this time, Arimori Shion, who was on first base, was trying to steal a base, which attracted Tatsuki Teruaki's attention.

Nishino Tetsuo quickly gave the secret signal, "Concentrate on dealing with the attacker, leave the runner to me!"

"Yes." Tatsuki Teruaki nodded and ignored Arimori Shion.

Tetsu Nishino's pitch was a curve ball, and it was a decisive victory in the strike zone!

"call"

Taking a deep breath, Tatsuki Teruaki abandoned all distracting thoughts and stared at the position of the catcher's glove.

despair!

Teruaki Tatsuki stepped forward, followed by the sudden release of the baseball.

At the same time, Shion Arimori, who was on first base, suddenly started running towards second base!

"Steal a base!"

But the baseball is hurtling toward home plate!

Hiroki swings the bat.

"Um?!"

The drastic change in the curve caught him off guard, and the bat he swung did not touch the ball at all.

"Crack!"

Baseball falls into glove.

Under Hiroki's surprised gaze, Tetsu Nishino quickly took out the ball from his left glove. At the same time, as if his body had been prepared, he took a small step back with his right foot, avoiding Hiroki's obstruction in front of him.

Tetsu Nishino used his body strength to pass the ball quickly!

"So fast!"

In a blink of an eye!

The ball crossed a straight flight line and accurately landed above second base!
