"First grade pitcher with a big heart!"

Commentator Takaya Takayama praised.

"It's really a tough pitching style to choose to go head-to-head with Matsuzaka Sho's strong bat when the bases are loaded."

Although Kazuya Nishino only scored one out, as a first-year pitcher and with a straight ball of more than 140 kilometers, the audience will always feel that he pitched well.

The current score is Hakusan 0:12 Matsusaka Sho. After maintaining this score and playing through Hakusan's offensive half in the first half of the fifth round, the game will end early.

If Hakusan wants to continue playing, he must at least not allow any runs with the bases loaded.

However.

The broadcast sounded, however, reminding the players in White Mountain not to think that it would be easy with two outs.

"The batter on the field now is,"

"Four sticks, catcher, Abe-kun."

Abesuke, who had reached base in all his first three at-bats, stepped into the batter's box.

At this time, Matsusaka's supervisor did not give him any instructions to attack, but gave Abe the freedom to attack.

When the bases are loaded, as the team's main gun, Abesuke has the right not to make tactical strikes, and of course supervision will not be given to him.

"Qiang!"

After watching a few shots, Abesuke missed a high straight ball.

The ball flew into the air above the first base side and out of bounds. First baseman Shion Arimori looked at the trajectory of the ball and guessed that he would not be able to catch it, so he gave up the pursuit.

When everyone thinks it's a foul ball.

Keeping his head raised and staring at the ball, Tetsu Nishino ran towards the landing point.

The moment the ball fell, he pounced on it.

"despair"

Tetsu Nishino caught the ball!

But he lost his balance and fell into Matsuzaka Sho's lounge.

"Xiao Zhe...!!!"

Nishino Tetsu's mother screamed in fright and stood up worried.

"Referee...I...I got it!"

The glove raised from the dugout firmly grasped the ball!

The referee ran over and found that although Tetsu Nishino fell in, he was not injured because several Matsuzaka players came over and worked together to support him, preventing him from falling.

Too dangerous and too lucky.

The chief judge also breathed a sigh of relief and shouted loudly: "Take the kill!"

"The batter is out!"

Three out!

Exchange offense and defense!

After confirming that the kill was successful, Tetsu Nishino stabilized his balance and stood on the ground, thanking his senior Matsusaka Sho.

Although they are opponents, Matsuzaka Sho's players don't want to see anyone on Hakusan's side get injured.

"This kid is working too hard. Is it worth risking injury to catch the ball just for one out?"

Seeing Tetsu Nishino returning to the dugout on the Hakusan side, Matsuzaka Sho's players said.

The time left for Baishan was only one and a half rounds. If the score difference could not be reduced to less than 10 points in the first half of the fifth round, the game would be over.

Losing a few more points won't affect the result of losing, so why try so hard?

Next to him, Abe Suke heard his teammates' words and remained silent.

As a catcher as well, he understands the determination to fight for every ball.

After finally getting the batter to hit a catchable ball, how could he give up so easily!

The catcher in Baishan is not what he imagined...

In the first half of the fifth game, Baishan's offense started.

In the resting area of ​​Hakusan.

Tōtōji said in a deep voice: "If you don't want to go back with a failure without a single point, then cheer up and give me a good blow!"

yes!

0:12!

They were eliminated after five rounds!

As if waking up from a dream, Komada Ryusei and others who were about to take the stage nodded in shame.

Their performance in this game was completely unsatisfactory, and they were almost in vain on both offense and defense.

Now they wake up, it's too late.

But at least one point must be scored.

Komada Ryusei and others gritted their teeth and thought, last year they proved they had the ability to reach the top 16, but now they can't even get a point.

The Hakusan players, who had barely managed to cheer up, finally returned to their normal level in attack, posing a threat to Matsuzaka Sho's defense.

It turns out that they still have the strength to fight.

The first batter, Komada Ryusei, hit a single.

The second batter, Yuichiro Kajikawa, chose a sacrifice bunt, sending Komada Ryusei to second base.

With one out and someone on second base, White Mountain High School finally scored again.

"We must fight it out!"

Hakusan's eight-ball player Kenjiro Ishida gritted his teeth. He knew that nine-ball player Kazuya Nishino's hitting was not very good, so he had to hit the ball.

But.

call out!

"Crack!"

Strikeout!!

"The batter is out!"

Kenjiro Ishida, who missed his swing, took off his helmet dejectedly and apologized to Kazuya Nishino who came up.

"I'm sorry, Kazuya, for having to deal with you in this situation..."

At this time, it is clearly displayed on the electronic scoreboard.

White Mountain:0

Matsusaka:12

In the top of the fifth inning, two outs.

There is only one step away from the end of the game.

After coming on the field, Nishino Kazuya stared at the ball with red eyes, but he just swung the bat in vain. He was quickly chased by 2 strikes.

In the stands, some passers-by stood up, waiting for Kazuya Nishino to be eliminated. As long as Sho Matsuzaka gets his elimination count, the game will be over, and they will have finished watching the game and can go back.

"Xiaojiao, please prepare some arm care supplies."

In Matsuzaka Sho's dugout, supervisor Masuzu Ishimura told manager Naoto Kojima to prepare the things he would need to care for his arm after the pitcher comes off the field.

After opening the incubator and taking out the contents, the manager Naoto Kojima replied: "Yes, supervisor."

"In the first half of the fifth inning, with two outs and someone on second base, Hakusan High School's last chance, the batter is first-year player Kazuya Nishino. Can he hit a hit and score a run for Hakusan?"

As he explained this, Takayama Takaya began to sort out the information on hand, waiting for the official end of the competition.

On the pitcher's mound, pitcher Haruki Yoshikawa nodded to his catcher Abe Suke, took a step, flicked his arm, and threw the next ball.

call out!

"Qiang!"

Hit!

However.

The baseball hit the ground and rolled toward the pitcher's mound.

Ta-ta-ta!

Kazuya Nishino, who was desperately running the bases, didn't care about the position of the baseball. He kept his head down and just rushed to the base. When he got close to the base, he rushed forward without thinking about himself.

Whoosh!
