"Qiang!"

Sho Matsuzaka's second bat picked up the low ball and the baseball flew to left field.

Taking off his mask, Tetsu Nishino stood up and looked towards left field.

The ball was hit relatively high and fell straight down.

Shiroyama's left fielder Nao Ito was a little behind in his fielding position. He rushed forward quickly, jumped forward and reached out to catch the baseball before it hit the ground.

despair!

The baseball hit the ground one pitch away from Ito's glove.

The crucial third out number was not obtained.

Ground hit!

The second base runner who started early came back and stepped on home plate, scoring another 1 run.

0 to 8!

The second half of the third round...

Stunned, Nishino Tetsu stood there dumbfounded.

Was Ito-senpai distracted just now?!

What happened to the seniors today?

Everyone is out of their minds?

"this......"

Tetsu Nishino found that the seniors in the third grade had no fighting spirit, as if they had determined that the game was going to be lost early on.

Seeing the lost looks of his seniors, he felt angry in his heart.

You can't play baseball alone!

What are the seniors doing, cheer up!

The cheers for Matsusaka Sho High School have not stopped since the beginning of the offense in this inning. Along with the exclusive cheering song, another batter of Matsusaka Sho High School came on the field.

Three sticks, Kenta Nishikawa.

"Qiang!"

Under the inducement of Tetsu Nishino, Kenta Nishikawa hit a high slider and hit a fly ball to the third base side.

The baseball flies high.

"I'll do it!"

With a shout, Tetsu Nishino stopped the coming third baseman Hiroki Tsuji, stood still at the landing point outside third base, and adjusted his gloves while staring at the ball.

"Crack!"

The baseball was firmly inserted into the glove by Tetsu Nishino.

Three out!

This round is finally over.

When he came off the field, Tetsu Nishino looked at the numbers displayed on the scoreboard and felt very uncomfortable.

Baishan:000

Matsusaka:512

Total score 0:8

.....................

In the first half of the fourth round, Baishan's offense.

However.

"Three out!"

Exchange of offense and defense.

"well......"

Takuji sighed.

In this inning, they played three-on-three again, and finally the second batter, Hiroki Tsuji, hit a single. As a result, Nao Ito hit a non-threatening ground ball in the follow-up five-bat, and was caught by Matsuzaka Sho's defense for a double play.

Shaking his head, Higashikata thought that it would be difficult for them to last until the ninth round, and today's game would probably end early.

In high school baseball, except for the Koshien and local conference finals games, other games often use the rules of the effective game.

That is, a 10-point lead after 5 games or a 7-point lead after 7 games.

The game will end immediately.

The specific points difference requirements are slightly different in different places.

This is to avoid too many meaningless games, and also to avoid the 200-0 disparity like in ancient times.

Judging from the current situation on the field, Baishan's offense has been unable to open up the situation, and its defense is even more miserable. It is basically difficult to last until the 9th game.

In the second half of the fourth game, Matsuzaka Sho's attack.

Baishan's defensive players no longer wanted to play, and all of them looked very depressed. What they showed was that their defense was full of loopholes and they made frequent mistakes.

"Dong dong dong!"

Matsusaka Commercial High School’s cheering songs kept coming.

As if responding to the support from their own concert club, Matsusaka Sho's batters began their performance.

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

"Qiang!"

5 hits in a row!

From the fourth to eighth bases, all bases were loaded, and three runners were returned, resulting in a situation with zero outs and one third base occupied.

"Ah... Baishan High School's defense is still relatively weak. Now in the second half of the fourth inning, the score has reached 0-11. If there are no accidents, this game will end early."

Live broadcast commentator Takashi Takayama said tactfully.

He didn't say what he said too harshly, and tried to speak it tactfully and not harshly. In his opinion, Baishan's defense was like a sieve, and anyone could break through it.

Takashi Takayama didn't care about the mentality of Hakusan's players. He just felt that the one-sided game was too boring and had nothing to explain. He only mentioned the hits played by Matsuzaka Sho's players. There were too many hits.

0 to 11.

White Mountain High School:0

Matsusaka Commercial High School:11

Such a disparity in scores reflects the strength gap between the two schools.

For Matsusaka Sho High School, beating opponents to double digits is normal, and the players are used to it.

As for Baishan High School, they have been defeated once and for all in the past ten years, and they always lost by a big score, so they seem to be used to it.

Get used to losing.

After five years of hard work, Higashi Takuji has brought the baseball club together, and its performance has gradually improved. Last year, it also reached three rounds in the county meet.

The next three rounds are the semi-finals, which means that Baishan has gradually reached the edge of the finals and is at least the top 16 in the county.

But in today's game against Matsusaka Sho High School, all Hakusan High School's efforts were wiped out in one battle.

Fish belly is fish belly after all.

No matter how hard it struggles, Baishan High School is always remembered by everyone as a weak team that has always been in the first round.

Totoji regrets it very much now.

If he had known it, he would have applied to Takano Company to play the game at a neutral site and not come to Matsusaka Sho's side.

He completely underestimated the impact of the huge gap in reality on the young people who came out of the small town.

Especially the impact on third graders.

Unlike the ignorant first graders who have just entered high school, the third graders who are facing graduation have already begun to think about their future.

Either get a job or go to school.

When I arrived at Matsusaka Sho High School, I discovered in my third grade that Matsusaka Sho players played a completely different kind of baseball than they did.

The glory of the famous family puts the players of Baishan to shame.

As a result, the third graders lost their fighting spirit and were careless on defense. They did not have the same fighting spirit as before to compete for every ball, and they could not muster the courage to confront Matsusaka Sho.
