With Tetsu Nishino coming on, the game continued.

It also means that Matsusaka's pitcher may have to throw a few more pitches to get the third out and end the game.

Looking at his supervisor, Matsusaka's manager Naoto Kojima asked: "Uh, supervisor... do you want to put it back?"

"No need." Supervisor Masuo Ishimura said.

Trusting the team's fielding ability, he directly sent an order to catcher Abe Suke, asking him to finish off the batter as soon as possible to end the game.

After returning to home plate and squatting down, Abe Suke put on his mask and gave a signal in the direction of the pitcher's mound.

Outside the strike zone, Tetsu Nishino looked at the bat in his hand and walked to the strike zone holding on to the brim of his helmet.

"palyball!"

Raising his bat, Tetsu Nishino glanced at Sho Matsuzaka's position in the infield. He understood that only by penetrating the infield could Komada-senpai run back to home plate and score.

Then his eyes focused on the pitcher.

On the pitcher's mound, Haruki Yoshikawa took a sudden shot and the baseball came out of his hand.

call out!

Arriving in a blink of an eye!

Can't fight!!!

Watching the baseball hit the bases, Tetsu Nishino firmly believed in his pitch selection.

really.

"Bad ball!"

"Oh, Yoshikawa pitched his highest ball speed, a straight ball of 143km! It was a low ball in the outside corner. The batter was calm and did not swing the bat."

Takayama Takashi explained that he found that Yoshikawa Haruki was still in very good condition after five innings of pitching. Not only did he control the ball accurately, but the ball speed has not declined yet.

He is truly an ace pitcher from a famous family.

Facing such a stable pitcher, he didn't think White Mountain High School had a chance.

Second ball.

call out!

After the baseball was released, it spiraled into home plate like a downward hook.

"Crack!"

"nice shot!"

Glancing at Tetsu Nishino on the left, Abe Suke was a little confused as to why he missed the ball!

Originally, Abe was throwing a low curveball, hoping that Tetsu Nishino would hit it as a grounder, but Haruki Yoshikawa threw it a little higher. If he had chosen the pitch better, he could have easily hit it. After all, the curveball is

The ball speed is much slower than a straight ball.

However, Tetsu Nishino gave up and watched the baseball go into the glove.

Are you starting to see clearly?

Abesuke thought.

When there are people in the circle with two outs, the pressure on the batter increases exponentially. He is often too nervous to swing the bat hastily, resulting in a strikeout, or he is too overwhelmed to swing the bat at all, and the ball that is barely hit is easily captured by the defense.

really.

When Abe Suke took out the baseball from his glove and passed it to the pitcher's mound.

Tetsu Nishino walked out of the strike zone, turned around in a circle outside the strike zone, and swung the bat several times, suppressing the tension in his heart.

"Players please return to the strike zone."

The referee looked at him and pointed to the strike zone with both hands, signaling Nishino Tetsu to return to the court.

"Yeah!"

Standing back in the batter's box, Tetsu Nishino touched the brim of his helmet with his right hand and roared toward the pitcher's mound, as if these actions could bring him some peace of mind.

Lift the bat.

Keep an eye on the pitcher.

In the top of the fifth inning, there were two outs, one and third base occupied.

1 bad ball and 1 good ball.

The third ball.

Whoosh!

Pitcher Haruki Yoshikawa swung his arm with all his strength and threw the ball in his hand!

call out!!!

Straight ball?!

Straight ball!!!!

"Qiang!"

Hit!!!

Left field!!!

Oops!

Everyone suddenly raised their heads and chased the shadow of the ball in the sky.

"Hit!!!"

Wearing headphones and staring closely at the screen, Takaya Takayama's voice suddenly rose several degrees, scaring the colleagues next to him.

“The ball flies so hard!!!”

"The left fielder is backing off!!!"

"Still retreating!!!"

Constantly roaring, Takashi Takayama explained hurriedly.

"STOP! LEFT FIELD STOP!!!"

Deep in the outfield, Matsuzaka's left fielder Keita Ito pressed his hands on the cushions to stop his momentum.

Under his watch.

"Crack!"

The small white ball hit the seat, bounced up and then fell down, rolling onto the steps.

"Out!!!"

"homerun!!!"

"White Mountain High School!!!"

"Three points!!!"

"home run!!!"

Takayama Takaya roared as he explained that it was really unimaginable to him that in such a situation, a first-year player could withstand the pressure and hit a home run.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

It's like being set on fire.

The parents of Baishan shouted loudly, their eyes full of disbelief.

But he was waving the support scarf of Hakusan High School vigorously in his hand, dotted with a light green windmill.

"this......"

Standing up with the mask in hand, Abesuke looked at the figure waving his arms high, and was shocked and speechless.

The face that smiled for the first time in the game was deeply imprinted in his mind.

It turns out that Baishan hasn’t given up yet!

"despair"

Komada Ryusei at third base returned to home plate.

"despair"

Kazuya Nishino, who was at first base, also stepped on home plate.

However, he did not rush back to the dugout, but waited near home plate.

After high-fiving Tetsu Nishino who came back, Kazuya Nishino gave him a hug and said in a hoarse voice.

"Azhe, a beautiful home run!"

In response, he patted Kazuya Nishino on the shoulder. Tetsu took off his hitting gloves and ran back to the dugout.
