Chapter 80 Miscellaneous Thoughts(1/2)
In the stands, in the cheering group of Matsusaka Commercial High School.
When the conductor saw the second person coming on the stage, she held up another white board with the word "Alps" written on it.
So the cheering song was changed to another one.
"No road race."
On the pitcher's mound, Gochi Iwata muttered to himself.
For opponents, the support from these famous families is really noisy.
Since arriving at Matsusaka Commercial High School, his mentality has changed drastically, and he feels that his love for baseball is meaningless.
Others are good at baseball, but I don't even have the courage to share my dreams in front of them.
Shozai Matsusaka is really chasing his dream, while Hakusan High School is just playing around at best.
The next batter came up.
"Second bat, first baseman, Yoshinaga-kun."
The referee signals the pitching to begin.
However, three goals in a row.
Gochi Iwata's pitches were all bad pitches, and the batter had no intention of hitting the ball, so he let them all go.
3 bad goals and 0 good goals.
Iwata-senpai, what's going on?
Tetsu Nishino frowned, these shots couldn't reach the position he wanted at all.
Let's throw the next ball straight to the center with all our strength.
Tetsu Nishino gave the signal. In order to adjust the pitcher's condition and get a few strikes, he could only take a risk.
On the pitcher's mound, Gochi Iwata nodded and shook his arm with all his strength.
call out!
"Crack!"
"nice shot!"
He got a good number of shots, but Tetsu Nishino was not happy at all.
Because this straight ball came in against the upper edge of the strike zone, it was obviously far from where Iwata wanted to throw it.
The path of the ball is too floating, it's just a lucky ball.
Next ball, lower it!
The signal of the hand gesture clearly wanted a low straight ball, so Tetsu Nishino chose a frontal ball.
call out!
As soon as the baseball was released, Matsuzaka Sho's second batter judged that he could hit it.
"Qiang!"
Like a golf ball, Sho Matsuzaka's two-hitter hit the ball into a powerful ground ball.
Three travel rooms!
Whoosh!
Following a tricky route, the baseball passed through the interceptions of third baseman Hiroki Tsuji and shortstop Kenjiro Ishida and rolled to the outfield.
When I turned around again, I saw that the batter had already reached first base. Seeing that there was no opportunity to take advantage, he came back and stepped on the first base bag.
An infield hit.
"The pitcher's condition seems to be very poor. Tell the supervisor that you can let Nishikawa watch a few more pitches. Maybe you can wait for the pitcher to blow himself up."
After stepping on the base bag, Matsuzaka Sho's second bat Takuro Yoshinaga whispered, and he told the teammates who came up to pick up the protective gear the information he detected.
After Matsusaka's supervisor Masu Ishimura received the information, he immediately made tactical adjustments and issued a secret signal to let the three sticks in the strike zone know.
"Yeah, I understand."
Nishikawa Kenta, Matsuzaka Sho's third-stringer, nodded to his own bench.
No matter how strong their striking power is, these players will strictly follow the instructions given by their supervisors and will never mess up on their own.
At this time, Tetsu Nishino was completely unaware of the change in Matsuzaka's tactics. He was hesitant to go to the pitcher's mound and ask about Iwata-senpai's status.
It's just a one-run hit.
Forget it, pitchers don't seem to like catchers to be on the mound very often.
In the end, Tetsu Nishino gave up and asked the supervisor to apply for a suspension.
Moreover, Gochi Iwata's expression didn't change much, and Tetsu Nishino didn't have the ability to read minds, let alone telepathy, so how could he know what Gochi Iwata was thinking.
First pitch slider.
"Bad ball!"
The second ball is a straight ball.
"Bad ball!"
The batter missed two balls, and the number of balls was 2 balls and 0 strikes.
The third ball.
Tetsu Nishino plays a slider in the strike zone.
call out!
"Qiang!"
Hitter Kenta Nishikawa knocked the slider out of the strike zone hard and smiled while holding on to his batting helmet.
"hateful!"
Gochi Iwata, who was easily irritable to begin with, was even more furious when he saw Kenta Nishikawa's smile.
Having played hundreds of games, Gochi Iwata knows exactly what that smile means.
It only took three pitches for the batter to follow the pitcher's path.
If you dare to throw into the strike zone, hit it out of bounds.
The fourth ball.
Gochi Iwata's outside-angle pitch was unable to lure Kenta Nishikawa into batting, and instead the number of balls came to 3 balls and 1 strike.
The next pitch can only be pitched into the strike zone.
However.
call out!
No, I missed the shot!
Tetsu Nishino quickly stood up and caught the ridiculously high straight ball.
"Four bad balls!"
"Batters on base."
"hey-hey."
Kenta Nishikawa put down his bat and easily reached first base.
With one out, people on first and second base, and the next batter being the opponent's fourth base, White Mountain High School faced the crisis of losing runs in the first inning.
"Request a timeout!"
Toshi also saw something was wrong and immediately called a timeout.
Running onto the pitcher's mound, Tetsu Nishino asked: "Iwata-senpai, are you okay?"
After taking a deep breath, Gochi Iwata said: "It's okay, I just haven't adjusted well yet. You can go down."
"Oh well......"
Tetsu Nishino turned around and ran back behind home plate.
The announcement sounded, and the pressure on Baishan High School increased sharply.
"Four sticks, catcher, Abe-kun."
One out and one and two bases occupied.
The situation was excellent, and Matsusaka's supervisor Masuzu Ishimura immediately gave instructions to his main gun and gave a secret signal.
"Let go and fight!"
Holding the brim of his hat and nodding, Abesuke shook the bat.
Looking at Tetsu Nishino, who was frowning, Abe Suke couldn't help but said: "Hey, first grader."
