Chapter 40: chapter 39:
The more you don't want things.
It tends to appear more easily.
At this point...
That's it...
In the dull gaze of the catcher!
Tetsuya Yuki threw out an outfield fight that almost flew out of the outfield wall!
Therefore.
Ryosuke Kominato at third base easily returned to home plate.
And Asad at second base.
His speed is already fast, the ball lands so well, and he also easily returns to home plate.
Seido gets 2 more points!
Moreover...
No one is out!
There is someone at second base (Yuki)!
After that, it was Masuko.
In this blow, he finally proved himself!
A blow from the outfield that was too far away, and Yuki who was at second base come directly back to home plate!
Seido adds 1 more point!
And the increase in the child thoroughly...
Because the running speed is too slow...
So I ran to first base and stopped...
Followed by Miyuki Kazuya.
He also hit an outfield hit.
But the landing point is so-so.
It can only let the Masuko penetrate into second base.
Himself is safe to go up to first base.
"A continuous offensive!"
"Since the first stick, I haven't stopped!"
"And this situation, from the beginning of the game to now, has happened several times!"
"The decision to put Asad in the third rod is really fantastic!"
Because of seido's excellent performance, the audience was very excited to discuss.
But.
Coach Kataoka was also happy though.
But he knew that only by looking at things calmly could he not be fooled by appearances.
And when he calmed down.
It was clear that the fundamental factor that allowed seido's offensive to bloom was because of Hiromi's physical strength, which was consumed a lot by Ryosuke Kominato and Asad.
"In practice."
"The opponent doesn't care about losing points."
"I just want the pitcher to be fully honed."
"So... Only then will there be a chance to consume physical strength..."
"But it's time for the official competition!"
"In the face of a game that will be eliminated if you lose, the opponent will not be stupidly consumed by physical strength!"
It is precisely because he has seen through Kiryu's purpose.
Therefore, in the heart of Coach Kataoka, there is still the idea of switching bats.
Of course.
How to switch specifically.
This is a big problem.
"If I really can't think of it..."
"Then I can only let Asad try all the sticks that he has not tried!"
"And then..."
"Compare the specific effects of different rods before making a decision!"
...
On the pitch.
Jun Shichiba Isashiki has already walked to the batter's seat.
Be prepared a little.
He took the pre-batting position.
When Hiromi throws the ball, he swings the bat with all his might!
While!
A crisp shot sounded!
The baseball rushed near third base!
"Very good!"
"It doesn't feel good..."
The words are not finished.
The baseball that I thought would pass through third base was forcibly caught by the opposing third baseman with a fish jump!
...
In baseball!
There's a word called forced to go to base.
This means that the runner is forced to abandon the original base position because the batter is on base, and needs to move forward to the next base.
[For example]
[First base has an offensive player (called a first base runner). ]
[When the batter hits the ball inside the boundary.] ]
[At this point, the batter is going to first base. ]
[According to the rules.] ]
[A base position cannot be occupied by two runners at the same time.] ]
[So, the first base runner is in a forced base-to-base situation, and he has to try to get into second base to be safe.] ]
[If the defender wants to eliminate a baserunner at first base.] ]
[No need to touch, as long as he passes the ball to second base and steps on the second base's bag before he reaches second base, he can be blocked.] ]
There are three situations in which you are forced to enter base.
(1) There is a runner at first base
(2) There are runners at both first base and second base
(3) There are runners at first base, second base, and third base at the same time
In these three cases.
If the batter hits the ball into bounds.
Runners will be forced to go to base.
...
Now!
The situation on the field belongs to the second situation!
In layman's terms!
That is, there are runners at first base (Miyuki) and second base (Masuko) at the same time!
Moreover!
The ball played by the batter (Jun Isashiki) fell into the boundary!
So!
Miyuki/Masuko must go to second base/third base to be considered safe!
But...
The baseball was caught by Kiryu's third baseman with a fish leaping pose!
And!
Kiryu's third baseman immediately got up and stepped on the third bases' baseball bag!
This means!
Masukoto, who was forced to enter third base, was blocked out by the third baseman!
Then!
The third baseman passed the ball to first base under Jun Isashiki's panicked gaze!
"Hey!"
"Wait!!"
"Don't be like that!!"
Jun Isashiki shouted loudly as he slammed into first base.
Pity...
When Jun Isashiki almost touched the base bag at first base...
Kiryu's first baseman!
Caught the baseball accurately!
And his right foot also stepped on the base bag at first base!
So...
After Masuko was blocked by a third baseman...
Jun Isashiki was also banned by the first baseman ...
"Ugh!"
"Double kill!"
"What a pity!"
The audience was very sorry.
It is clear that the situation is so good, how can he be killed by both in a blink of an eye?
"The third base is beautiful!"
"Well done!"
"Nice pass!!"
Kiryu's team members praised one after another.
It's not easy!
They are the second in the country!
Finally, I completed a double kill!
"Very good, very good..."
Coach Matsumoto nodded in satisfaction.
"Although this year's team is not as crowded as the team that entered Koshien last year..."
"But..."
"They themselves know this very well."
"So no one has shown arrogance because of last year's glory."
Meanwhile.
The pavilion on the field is Hiromi though very tired.
But full of spirit, the state is still very good.
Enjoy the tournament hall Hiromei.
The ball thrown is still tricky.
Plus the catcher's elaborate matching.
Although it took a little effort, he still eliminated Hakushu of Seido.
With Seido appeared a third eliminated hitman.
The sixth inning was officially over.
...
Seventh inning.
First half of the round.
Seido served as the garrison.
"Hey!"
"Stop being in a daze!"
"Time to play!"
Miyuki said while putting on the protective gear and looking at the stunned Sawamura.
"And..."
"You have to throw a good inside corner!"
"Stop throwing a straight ball in the middle like before!"
Hearsay.
Sawamura came back to his senses from the fugue.
Then nodded obediently: "Okay." "
Miyuki looked at Sawamura in surprise: "Huh? Aren't you usually loud? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden? "
Irritated by Miyuki.
Sawamura instantly became imposing and shouted:
"Okay!!!!!"
