Chapter 102: Pitcher, Substitution!
No Out, runner at first base!
Moreover, the runner on the base is extremely fast.
The situation became serious for Seidou.
“My fault!”
Miyuki took the initiative to take responsibility.
He was afraid that the runners on the base would affect Tanpa, so he took the initiative to share the pressure on Tanpa.
On the mound.
Tanpa’s brows also furrowed.
This ball, to be honest, the pitcher’s responsibility is not great. On the responsibility part, Miyuki has a little bit, and Masuko has more.
As for whose fault is this really, in fact, it is no one’s fault. The most important reason why the runner can go to the base is that he is fast enough!
From Miyuki’s standpoint, he was responsible for not forwarding the defense in advance. But is it alright for him to do that? On the contrary, if there are gaps in the defense, and Shindo may also rely on batting to get a hit.
No one can say such a thing.
Strictly speaking, Miyuki’s arrangement is fine. Watch out for bunts, but don’t change the defensive formation.
And from the standpoint of Masuko, he was also very responsible.
With such a big body, a sprint can still be made, even if his agility is definitely not comparable to Kuramochi and Kominato.
But the runner was so fast, and Masuko couldn't increase his agility all of a sudden.
There is not much responsibility on anyone, but the runner is on base, and there is always a reason.
If you really want to find one reason, it can only be said that the speed of Shindo is indeed fast enough!
And such runners, on the base, are the most terrifying.
He’s too fast and poses a bigger threat on the base!
Miyuki took all the responsibility on himself to prevent Tanpa from paying too much attention to the runners.
But, is it that easy?
Miyuki opened his mouth to take the responsibility, Can Tanpa stop paying attention to the runner? That is of course impossible.
What’s more, Shindo is standing so far from the base.
‘damn!’
Tanpa’s eyes became hideous, and he suddenly threw a restraint at the first.
In this regard, Shindo was also well prepared and saw Tanpa’s action directly dived to the first base.
“Safe!”
“Tsk~”
On the mound, Tanpa calmed down a bit and turned to face the batter. At this time, the runner quietly moved to the second base.
Tanpa’s pupils suddenly widened.
He had a hunch that as long as he pitched the ball, the guy would definitely run.
Miyuki didn’t dare to let Tanpa completely ignore the runners at this time. With the speed of the Hakuryu runners, if they were given a chance, they would never give up stealing bases.
‘Really, it’s hard to deal with!’
Once there are runners on the base, Hakuryu’s offense immediately becomes different and alive.
After holding back a bit, Tanpa threw a Ball.
SNAP!
“BALL!”
The pitch was slightly off the strike zone.
Because he wanted to restrain the runner, Tanpa couldn’t put all his energy into dealing with the batters.
At this time, he started to have problems with the ball control.
“BALL!”
“BALL!”
With three Balls in a row, Tanpa struggled on the edge of a Walk.
Miyuki’s heart sank, at this time, it was hard to inspire Tanpa with words alone.
‘Senpai, you must hold on!’
With a prayer in his heart, Miyuki gave back the ball.
SNAP!
“BALL!”
“FOUR BALL WALK!”
Miyuki’s face was so ugly that he was dying.
The last ball just now, obviously hovering on the edge of the strike zone, was an ambiguous ball, the referee even said it was a Ball!
‘Has the impression of bad control been left in the referee’s mind?’
In this way, the subsequent battles will be more difficult to fight.
The batter Hoshino was walked to first base, and Shindo, who was originally first base, was pushed into second base.
No one out, runners at first and second base.
It’s the turn of the third Batter, Mima Soichiro.
Crisis, a huge crisis.
In the rest area of Seidou, Manager Ota was obviously a little bit restless.
He looked left and right but didn’t know a good way out.
No matter how big the crisis is, they are always a plan ahead, and the situation on the field is only that there are runners at first and second base, and no one has advanced to third base.
At this time, they should believe in their own Ace, right?
But for some reason, Ota was uneasy, feeling as if something was going to happen.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki’s head was hurting.
To be honest, he really didn’t want to run into Mima when someone was on the base.
‘This guy, Mima, is too dangerous!’
Now there are not only a runner on the base, but two runners. And the number of Outs, there is none.
And now, they had to face Mima.
Difficult!
Miyuki took a deep look at Tanpa, and his heart was a little sad.
‘You must hold on, Tanpa-senpai. If it ends like this, it will be very difficult for you to compete with that stinky boy Sawamura for the throne of the Ace.’
‘And then, even if the Ace number is given to you, what kind of pride do you have to wear that number on the field?’
First ball: Ball to low inside corner!
‘Don’t worry, with Mima’s current state of mind, he will definitely swing the bat.’
‘This way we can use a Foul to get a Strike first.’
Victory is like building the Great Wall. It needs to be accumulated continuously. As long as a certain amount is accumulated, miracles can naturally be triggered.
A single section of the Great Wall of China, placed with the buildings of ancient civilizations, may not be so magnificent. But when it reaches thousands of miles, it is a Marvel of the world!
‘Let’s remove this mountain together and turn things around, Tanpa-senpai.’
Miyuki showed a very strong will to catch.
‘I haven’t fallen to the point of letting you educate a Kohai.’
Tanpa pitched the ball, but this ball missed up the Pitch!
The ball did not reach the edge of the inner corner but instead was located in the center of the inner corner.
Miyuki’s eyes suddenly showed despair.
‘Done!’
‘The ball will be swept out.’
On the strike zone.
A glimmer of light flashed in Mima’s eyes, looking at the flying baseball, he smashed it brutally.
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew far away.
“Fly, fly out!”
“Three-point golden home run!”
“Wow!”
With a total score of 4:2, Hakuryu completed the reversal with the help of a strong Batter Mima.
After that, Takehara took the zone.
Ping!
He got a weak hit but scored a Base with his speed.
The situation on the field became that no Out, and runner at first base.
The rest area of Seidou High School.
Kataoka closed his eyes in pain and gave the order firmly.
“Pitcher, Substitution!”
Tanpa returned to the rest area, and outfielder Sawamura took the Pitcher’s mound. Sakai replaced Sawamura as outfielder.
Tanpa returned to the dugout.
Kataoka’s eyes, even through the sunglasses, felt extremely cold.
“The first is to be concerned about the runner, and then throw the four Balls!”
“Then threw sweet balls in a row and was chased by batters. What did you learn in high school for the past three years?”
“If you’ve always performed like this before the Summer Games, you don’t have to think about the Ace number. I wouldn’t give the No. 1 of Seidou to a glass pitcher who is prone to collapse easily.”
“Think about this experience. Remember how you Pitched in the last fall, get back to where you were as soon as possible, and don’t let these guys who are waiting for you down.”
With the towel covering his face, Tanpa lay on the bench without saying a word.
No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
