Chapter 8: The Unsettling Ace
"This line, it's too dragging, isn't it?"
The fans in the stands invariably expressed such feelings.
Although Musashi High School is not a famous school, its grades are not very good. But I have a little bit of a reputation in Tokyo, and I can often make it to three or four rounds in the tournament.
Generally speaking, the strength of this kind of team is still very good.
Even against a big high school, as long as their team is not in a state of collapse at the beginning, it is not so easy for the opponent to take points from them at the beginning.
Not to mention the pitcher Kuriyama who played in Musashi High School, who was very sharp in his changing balls.
Anyone who knows a little bit about baseball can see that his strength is very good.
This kind of ball is used well, and it is difficult for ordinary hitters to hit.
At the beginning of the game, even though the fans were all supporters of the Seido High School baseball team, they thought that it would take a little effort to win Musashi High School.
I didn't expect the new Qingdao High School baseball team to be so powerful.
Facing Kuriyama, who is not weak, he started playing from Yamada, Dong was escorted, Yuuki, a strong stick in the second year, and Zhang Han, a newcomer who had just been promoted.
Hit in quick succession!
Helped the team to a two-point lead.
And that's not all, the current situation is that there are people on second and third base.
As long as the next hitter on the court wins another hit, the score has a high probability of becoming 4:0.
With the background of the Seido High School baseball team, even their defense has been controversial because of the status of the pitcher.
Then this score is enough for them to set the win.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy, I thought Musashi High School would be able to survive a little longer."
"It's a shame that they dare to call Senior Dong before the game starts? I thought it would be amazing, but I didn't expect to even dare to go head-to-head. ”
In the rest area of the Seido High School baseball team, everyone's tone was relaxed.
Judging from this situation, there should be no problem in their first game.
In the stands, several schools that came to scout the game of the Qingdao High School baseball team were also whispering at this time.
Some people even picked up the phone directly and reported to their school.
"Qingdao has won! As always, no surprises. Especially in the line, although the game has just begun, Qingdao is still strong. ”
"Yes, the newcomers who have just been promoted scored a hit at the beginning to help the team take a two-point lead."
Maybe I can't see anything for the time being, but there are some things that have quietly changed.
At this time, there were already several schools in Tokyo that noticed Zhang Han's existence.
Of course, this kind of attention is just attention.
It is far from Zhang Han to really make a name for himself in the Tokyo area and become an eye-catching star player.
There is still a long way to go......
"Ping!"
The little white ball flew high and then fell.
Usashiki Jun, who has a mustache, is very unhappy.
Damn it! Damn it!!!
Zhang Han's stinky boy's debut, directly won the hit, and helped the team score.
Why can't he?
"Smack!"
The baseball which fell was caught in the glove by the third baseman of Musashi High School.
"Out!"
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
The players of the Musashi High School baseball team breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over!
Who knows what they've been through on the pitch?
The terrifying weight of the pressure almost suffocated them.
After just one round of defense, there were several players in Musashi High School who had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Although there are reasons for the hot weather, the most important thing is the pressure.
When they played against the Seido High School baseball team, they were under too much pressure.
Almost got a four-point lead.
Regardless of the previous Musashi High School baseball team players, they stood on the court with such confidence.
As long as they are four points behind in the first game, then they will definitely have little hope in this game.
Thankfully, the worst didn't happen, which meant there was hope.
In the second half of the first inning, Musashi High School attacked.
"Ping!"
"Out!"
"Strikeout!"
"Smack!"
"Out!!"
……
Without any drag, Hidesawa let the three beaters from Musashi High School go out cleanly.
Three up and three down.
Although the nuclear-bomb pitch was a joke, Hidezawa's ball power was a fact.
Once caught in his rhythm, no matter how much the players of the Musashi High School baseball team are tossing, it will be difficult for them to make any waves.
In the first half of the second game, Qingdao High School attacked.
Miyuki, who played the 8th bat, went straight out.
Gao Junming, who was the ninth baseman, was also out of the game without any play.
Tanaka, who was the first to hit the base, was on base, but only on base.
After him, Xiuzawa hit the infield rebound ball and was blocked at first base.
In the second game, Qingdao's offense failed to get results.
But it doesn't matter.
In addition to strength, luck is also a very important factor in winning points by hitting.
The most important thing is not the lack of strength, but luck.
The friends of the Qingdao High School baseball team and their supporters are very convinced.
It's only a matter of time before they expand the score.
At this time, no one expected that the biggest hidden danger of the Qingdao High School baseball team would explode in this game.
"Ping!"
At the beginning of the second half of the second inning, the players of the Seido High School baseball team did not have any psychological preparation.
The baseball was swept off the field.
Although Gao Junming rushed over quickly, he didn't have time to catch the ball at the first time.
Outcome!
"Safety!"
Musashi High School's four-batter ran straight to second base.
Musashi High School, which was originally in despair, is like a drowning person grasping the last straw.
They're trying to turn that base into a score anyway.
Therefore, the fifth stick was strong, and he chose the escort tactic.
"Ping!"
The runner on second base ran to third base, and the situation became one out and there was someone on third base.
Miyuki, who was in the position of the catcher, didn't think much about it at first. The other party sent one out, how could he not accept it?
But what happened next made Miyuki's intestines repent.
If he had known in advance, he wouldn't have chosen to let the runner go to third base with ease.
Since the runner went up to third base, Senior Hidezawa, who originally threw the ball as he wanted, immediately took a 180-degree turn in his whole state.
He even struggled to get the ball into a good belt.
Even if you barely throw a good ball belt, the ball is fluttering......
"Escort to base."
"Ping!"
"Safety!!"
In the bottom half of the second inning, Musashi High School recovered two points.
The score became a 2:2 draw.
And that's not all, there are runners on third base.
One person is out, and there is someone on third base.
