Chương 617: Chapter 45: A Stunning Play
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew outside the field again.
Even Chris couldn't hit the corner-changing ball precisely into the playing field.
With the increasing number of Foul balls, Chris's face became somewhat grim.
He hadn't expected that Kawakami's balls would be so troublesome!
As the number of out-of-bounds balls increased, Chris's originally magnificent performance gradually stopped.
'A great opportunity!'
Seeing Chris's increasingly gloomy expression, Miyuki, in the catcher's position, understood that their chance had come. This opportunity wasn't created out of thin air but was a result of Nori's aggressive attacking stance.
'Come on, throw your best pitch here!'
In the catcher's position, Miyuki already had a plan to deal with Chris.
A Slider!
'With Chris-senpai's ability, he should be able to guess this pitch. But it doesn't matter; as long as you throw the ball here, this pitch will definitely be able to handle Chris-senpai.'
The Mitt position Miyuki set was higher by one ball than when he usually caught Nori's slider!
The control must be precise. At this moment, any mistake in control wouldn't confuse Chris but would instead put them in trouble.
Miyuki's pitch calling was very thrilling.
But you can't deny that his tactics, if successful in the end, should still be effective.
Seeing Miyuki's sign, Kawakami understood what Miyuki wanted.
Making his stride, Nori's arm swung to the side, and threw the baseball in his hand.
Swoosh!
The white ball emitted a sharp whistling sound as it headed toward the upper part of the home plate.
On the batter's box, Chris smiled faintly.
He had guessed it!
At the last ball, Miyuki and Nori will certainly throw the winning Shot. Nori's current high fighting spirit, very high, his frustration in his heart, has been shown on his face.
As for his ability to judge people, Chris is still very confident. He believes that Nori's current expression is not acting, so he expects the final pitch to be Nori's decisive pitch.
'He wanted to prove himself with his best ball!'
The idea was good, but as a senpai, he still had an obligation to tell the Kohai that baseball wasn't that simple. Even if it's a winning shot, it could still be hit.
Carefully watching this incoming ball, waiting for it to enter his hands.
'It's now!'
Calculating the timing, Chris swung decisively.
As a team's catcher, he naturally had a deep impression of Nori's winning shot. Frankly speaking, Chris remembered every detail, speed, angle, and force of the pitch he caught.
Being a catcher, he could catch it steadily.
Now as a batter, he also had the confidence to hit it with the bat.
Ping!
The swing looked very perfect, and the ball was cleanly hit.
With a swoosh, the baseball flew into the sky.
At this moment, the onlookers and third-year players were all very excited. This hit looked very promising.
In the batter's box, Chris, who hit the ball, had a bitter smile on his face.
He consciously hit a low ball, wanting to hit an infield hit, but inexplicably flew to the outfield.
With his experience, he could easily judge that he had miscalculated with that last ball.
The bat did not precisely strike the center of the ball, in plain terms, he missed.
Like Chris's premonition, the ball was a line drive that looked very magnificent but did not fly far to the outfield. Even if he didn't hit the center of the ball, the ball still flew nearly fifty to sixty meters before landing.
In the third-grade team, the base running coach responsible for the third base felt helpless.
Here we go again!
In this game, there have been at least three such scenes.
Someone's on third base, and the ball's been hit nearly sixty or seventy meters to the outfield.
In such situations, according to their experience, even if the ball was caught, the third base runner would still have enough time to run back to home base.
Infielders need time to prepare, and the distance of sixty to seventy meters itself requires over a second to fly over. Moreover, there's also a high probability of errors in a long throw like this.
'The third-base runner can run!'
The result is indeed the same. However, the third-grade third-base coach was very hesitant. It was simply that the outfielder waiting to catch the ball was too much to worry about.
The ball was hit into the left outfield, and the one waiting under the baseball was Sawamura!
If it were an ordinary player, they would run. Even if the previous defensive outfielders had performed, it couldn't be said that they would keep doing so.
But Sawamura was different. For such a player, it was hard to predict what he would do.
The base-running coach couldn't decide for himself, so naturally, he didn't dare to advise Isashiki.
The person involved, Isashiki Jun, was not very concerned. He was an unyielding person. Even if it was Sawamura, what should he be afraid of?
Who's afraid of whom?
'As long as there's an opportunity, no matter who the opponent is, I'll run.'
Therefore, he was prepared from the start to directly steal home base.
Seeing Sawamura catch the ball in his mitt, he gritted his teeth and rushed straight toward home base.
Originally, when Miyuki saw that Chris could hit the ball, he was very happy. However, his happiness did not last long, and he soon noticed Isashiki's actions.
"Back to home base!" Miyuki directly shouted at Sawamura.
In the left outfield position, Sawamura was already prepared. He knew his third-grade seniors well enough to know that they would definitely run.
So, from the moment he caught the ball, he was ready to throw it to home base.
With the ball in his mitt, before even warming it up, he caught it in his left hand and then threw it to home base.
Seventy meters away, the ball flew like a laser beam. During this process, it seemed as if the ball's route had been set, with no deviation whatsoever, and it went straight into Miyuki's Mitt.
The timing was just right!
Miyuki turned very calmly and touched Isashiki who was rushing desperately to base.
"OUT!"
"OUT!"
Chris was shut Out, and Isashiki Jun was touched Out at home base by Miyuki.
Double play!
From the ball being hit to taking the double play, the entire process took less than five seconds.
It ended as if in the blink of an eye.
Three Outs, both sides switched from offense to defense.
