After Hakusan's second hitter Kyotaro Ichikawa was out, Sho Matsuzaka got the third out, ending the first half of the inning.

Exchange of offense and defense.

3 to 12.

9 points difference.

As long as Baishan holds on without losing points in the second half of the fifth inning, the game will continue.

Before going on field defense, the first time in this game.

Captain Hiroki summoned everyone to form a circle to boost morale.

"I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill my duty as captain to bring everyone together. Now we are lagging behind by a big score. If we want the game to continue, we must hold on and not lose even one point!"

"Everyone, please cheer up!"

"Go all out to defend!!!"

"yes!!!"

“Never give up!!!”

"yes!!!"

"Come on!!!"

"yes!!!"

The previous confusion led to the current situation, and the hearts of the third graders were filled with regret, and they all responded loudly.

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

Leadoff batter, five-bat, right fielder, Hitoshi Imamiya.

Imamiya Jin was a little surprised to see that the mental outlook of Hakusan's fielding players had completely changed. Now Matsuzaka and Shoko only needed to score one point and the game was over.

Does Baishan still think they can hold on?

"palyball!"

First goal.

On the pitcher's mound, Kazuya Nishino waved his arms with all his strength.

call out!

"Crack!"

A straight shot from the center!

"nice shot!"

The ball is so fast!

Imamiya Jin was surprised and thought that he had not adapted to this ball and could not hit the ball.

Second ball.

call out!

"Crack!"

Straight ball from outside corner!

"nice shot!"

Imamiya Jin still didn't hit the ball and let the ball go.

After two consecutive good balls, Nishino Kazuya hit the strike zone, and the ball speed reached 140 kilometers.

The third ball.

Tetsu Nishino played a high straight ball, trying to hang the batter, but the result was...

call out!

The hitter, Hitoshi Imamiya, had no intention of swinging the bat.

"Crack!"

"Bad ball!"

Sure enough, it is difficult to deceive the batter with a slightly obvious bad ball.

Commentator Takashi Takayama said: "Oh, Hakusan's first-year pitcher threw three straight balls in a row, with ball speeds of 146km, 142km and 144km respectively."

"It's all fast straight balls. Is this going to be a straight ball to decide the victory?"

The fourth ball.

Kazuya Nishino waved his arm with all his strength and threw the baseball.

call out!

With 2 good balls and 1 bad ball, Imamiya Jin did not dare to let it go and hurriedly swung the bat.

"Qiang!"

The baseball hit the ground and bounced quickly.

Three travel rooms!

"A real man!"

White Mountain's shortstop Kenjiro Ishida rushed to his position, picked up the ball steadily, quickly passed it to first base, and blocked Jin Imiya before he could reach base.

"One out!"

"One out!"

"One out!"

Relying on the infield fielding to successfully get the first out, the players of White Mountain were morale boosted.

The second batter comes on.

"Six bats, second baseman, Shoji-kun."

Raising his bat, Shoji Seira was wary of Nishino Kazuya's straight ball.

However.

First goal.

call out!

The baseball falls in an arc.

"Crack!"

"nice shot!"

The curveball fell into the strike zone, but the hitter Shoji Seiro did not choose to release the bat immediately, but let it go.

He gave priority to hitting straight balls, but the curve ball just now distracted him and made him a little concerned.

Second ball.

Tetsu Nishino gave the secret signal.

A straight ball in the inside corner must suppress the batter and enter the base close to the batter's body. It cannot throw a ball that is too hitable.

Throwing this kind of ball is often very risky. If you are not careful, you will miss the ball and hit the ball.

Taking a deep breath, Nishino Kazuya waved his arms with all his strength and threw the baseball.

call out!

"Qiang!"

Sure enough, it’s a straight shot!

The batter Shoji Seira hit the ball with his bat.

However, the path of the ball made him very uncomfortable. His striking posture was squeezed, and he could barely knock the ball forward.

Three travel rooms!

The baseball flew out very quickly and bounced irregularly when it hit the ground.

Ta-ta-ta!

The ball's bounce was blocked, and shortstop Kenjiro Ishida blocked the ball in front of the force.

"Crack!"

The baseball that bounced off the ground hit him on the chest, crashed into his arms, and was held down by him with his glove.

There was no time to make more adjustments.

Take out the baseball and take a step.

Throw the ball to first base.
