1 bad ball, 2 good balls.

Two consecutive change balls were knocked out of bounds, and Tetsu Nishino chose to match the next ball with a straight ball.

Seeing Yamamoto Sakuya's chest rising and falling a little on the pitcher's mound, Tetsu Nishino relaxed his shoulders and used this action to comfort him.

If you can do it, invest in it.

Tetsu Nishino took a small step with his right foot and placed his glove on the outside corner, making no secret of his intention.

Yamamoto Sakuya looked back at the runner on second base, turned around and threw the ball in his hand.

The ball went straight to home plate.

Keigo Kitamura, who was on the strike zone, was stunned and hesitated.

"Crack!"

Tetsu Nishino caught the ball steadily, his left hand staying still in the catching position.

This refreshing touch made him confident.

The chief judge lived up to his expectations, raised his fists and shouted loudly.

"Good ball! The batter is out!"

No swings and strikeouts!

After Keigo Kitamura was caught by Tetsu Nishino and struck out, he regretfully walked back to the dugout with his bat and head lowered.

A straight ball hitting the outside corner of the strike zone low, even if the ball speed is not particularly fast, is enough to make the batter hesitate and let it go with a sense of luck.

"Nice pitch."

Tetsu Nishino said to Sakuya Yamamoto who came down.

Facing Omi High School's top line, he was able to score four at-bats and scoreless in the first inning. Yamamoto Sakuya's pitching was outstanding.

After months of hard training, Tetsu Nishino is not the only one who has improved, but all the players at Hakusan High School.

Baseball cannot be played by just one or two people. It is the joint progress of everyone that allows Baishan's strength to steadily improve.

Only after the team's strength improves will the value of each individual be reflected.

Pitcher, catcher, fielder, all linked together.

It is precisely because he believes in the catcher's delivery and the defense behind him that Yamamoto Sakuya can take advantage of his good ball control and boldly throw into the strike zone.

What this reflects is the improvement of the team's overall defensive level.

In the second half of the game, Baishan attacked.

Tetsu Nishino hit the first pitch with a single, and then a decisive sacrifice hit with the second pitch.

They used the same tactics as Omi High School, but they were slightly different.

"Steal a base!"

Tetsu Nishino suddenly stole from second base to third base. Omi's catcher Ryo Arima was shocked and had no time to pass the ball to catch Tetsu Nishino.

Tetsu Nishino successfully reached third base.

One out and third base occupied.

Hakuyama's three-hit outfield sacrifice fly gave Tetsu Nishino time to run back to home plate.

Baishan scores the first point.

0:1

Omi:0

White Mountain:1

With two outs, Hiroki Tsuji was given the number of outs, and offense and defense were exchanged.

Then in the second game, both teams' attacks came to nothing.

In the first half of the third round, Omi's offense came.

After two outs, Omi's second at-bat hit a single, leaving first base occupied.

However, the subsequent three bats failed to connect the line. The ground ball hit was blocked by Baishan's second baseman, and he was banned from the game, leaving a base behind.

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the second half of the third round, it was Baishan's turn to attack again.

The first batter to come on was nine-pitch pitcher Sakuya Yamamoto, but he was quickly struck out.

One out.

Then Tetsu Nishino went to the batter's box and luckily hit a change-up ball behind the baseman, resulting in a single.

However, this time, with Omi's catcher Ryo Arima on guard, Hakusan did not dare to continue using touch tactics and could only choose to strike head-on.

The substantially improved hitting ability gives White Mountain's players the ability to hit.

Although with two outs and one out, Shion Arimori caught a relatively hitable ball and hit a single.

Two outs, first and second base occupied.

Captain and four-bat Hiroki Tsuji lived up to expectations, hitting a timely double to send Tetsu Nishino home.

Omi 0:2 Hakusan!

Subsequently, Omi contained Hakuyama's attack, but could not change the fact that it was behind by losing points, and entered the middle of the game with a 2-point difference.

In the first half of the fourth game, Omi's attack came.

In this half of the inning, Omi's center fielder hit consecutively, with four and five bases reaching the bases, but the subsequent batters could not connect.

A six-bat infield fly ball was caught, so Keigo Kitamura and the two of them did not dare to move, and were pinned to the base.

Seven bats were tricked by Tetsu Nishino into swinging the bat, and he hit an infield ground ball and was caught in a double play.

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the second half of the fourth game, Hakusan's lower line attack failed to break through Omi's defensive line.

The game also reached the fifth inning.

In the first half of the fifth round, Omi's attack came on.

Under the guidance and coordination of Tetsu Nishino, the Hakusan players were in excellent condition today and gave Omi a three-up and three-down performance.

In the second half of the fifth round, Baishan's attack came.

The first batter was Tetsu Nishino.

"Qiang!"

Seizing the opportunity to hit the ball, Tetsu Nishino hit the ball to left field, dropped the bat, and quickly ran to second base.

With no one out and someone on second base, Baishan has a good chance to score.

Omi's catcher Ryo Arima, who was squatting behind home plate, was feeling depressed.

Tetsu Nishino was on base for the third time in this game. He didn't expect that the first-year student would swing the bat decisively and hit a high ball.

The key is that Tetsu Nishino was too difficult to deal with after he was on base. The distance from the base made Ryo Arima itchy with hatred, and he was unable to do anything about him after being suddenly restrained several times in a row.

Instead, their mentality of surrendering to the river was disturbed.

The next bat, Hakuyama's second bat, didn't miss the center ball thrown by Omi's pitcher, and hit a single.

No one is out and there are people on first and second base.

Omi's fielding became chaotic, and the subsequent batter once again sent Nishino Tetsu back to home plate to score.

Omi 0:3 Hakusan!

Shiga Prefecture's famous team fell behind by 3 points to an unknown team from Mie Prefecture. Omi's players looked at each other, a little confused as to when Mie Prefecture's high schools were so strong.

Omi's supervisor Taga Akihito was also a little surprised, thinking with his gray brows furrowed.

From the information he obtained, Shiroyama was only capable of three rounds of matches, but the fielding, pitching, attacking and tactical qualities shown by Shiroyama in the game were obviously not inferior to their Omi High School.

He also knew the result of the game between Hakone High School and Hikone East High School. Hakusan only lost 1 point and lost to Hikone East High School 0-1.

Hikone Higashi High School was their participating school in Shiga Prefecture's summer Koshien last year, and they only scored one point in Hakusan.

Akihito Taga thought it was because Hikone Higashi High School's line strength had seriously declined after last year's players retired.

Now it seems that it is not the fault of Hikenda High School, but that Hakusan High School's defense is really strong. Not only did it almost stop Hikenda's shooting, but now it also defended Omi.

"pause."

Taga Akihito has been with Takano for decades and has rich experience.

He immediately called a timeout, asked catcher Ryo Arima to go to the pitcher's mound to call all the players to make adjustments, and asked a small pitcher on the bench to warm up.

This is the fourth pitcher Omi supervisor Akihito Taga will substitute in this game.

"Yes, supervisor!"
Chapter completed!
