Three ups and threes in a row, consecutive strikeouts, including strikeouts, the strongest hitter in Yokohama Port Kita, Furano. 【Full text reading】
At this time, Sawamura was like an awe-inspiring and inviolable demon in Yokohama Konoku's mind.
He is on the mound, and Yokohama Port Kita can't imagine a point!
It's not about being overwhelmed, or feeling anything.
That's a psychological thing.
With the psychological quality of Yokohama Kongbei players, they are not completely intimidated by these illusory things.
The reason why they are desperate is precisely because they have a rational judgment, and they have a clear understanding of Sawamura's strength.
With the strength of Yokohama Port North's line, it is not impossible to conquer Sawamura's pitching. But they need time to gather intelligence and get used to Sawamura's rhythm and pitching
This time, about one to two rounds!
And now, with only the last three outs left, Sawamura has completed the defense of the game. Do they have so much time to collect information about Sawamura?
It is precisely because of this clear understanding that they are more convinced that it is difficult for them to win points from Sawamura before the end of the game. Even if there is a playoff, the playoff must be long enough for them to hope for a hit and even a score from Sawamura.
As for now, they had better do the garrison work honestly.
That way they have a higher chance of winning. (After all, in any case, Yokohama Konkita is now one point ahead of Aodo. The more stalemate it is in such a tight match, the greater the effect of one point.)
In the second half of the eighth inning, Qingdao High School attacked.
"Fifth, third baseman, Masuko."
"Uuuuuha~"
Masuko stepped into the strike zone aggressively, and the players from Yokohama Gangbei showed their absolute determination not to back down.
Hakuba glanced at Miyuki, who was waiting for the blow, and Sawamura, who was also preparing in the rest area.
When Miyuki was on base, the hit rate was terrifyingly high. Sawamura has two hits in the previous three encounters
Before fighting with these two batters, Bai Yu said that he didn't want anyone on the base.
"There is no need to keep it, let's have a showdown here."
Seeing Bai Yu's code, Yineng on the pitcher mound nodded slightly.
"Whoosh!"
The small white ball flew toward him, and Masuko unceremoniously swung his bat.
"Ping!"
The ball was hit high and flew high, then fell. Falling out of bounds!
First baseman Furano, who was waiting for the baseball to drop early, took the small white ball into his glove.
"Out!"
Once out, no one hits base.
This exit is too important for Yokohama Port Kita.
The heavy pressure that Sawamura had brought to them just now lingered in their minds. They have always been burdened by a burden, that is, they must never make mistakes, and they must never lose points.
After watching Sawamura's pitching, the players from Yokohama Konkita also have this understanding, that is, if they lose a point, they will be passive.
Miyuki and Sawamura's previous performance in combat was also obvious to all. Not to mention that Bai Yu didn't want the batter to hit base before the two of them were their turn, even in the entire Yokohama Port North, no one wanted to see such a situation happen.
With Masuko out, the situation they faced became much clearer at once.
Now that the game is over, they only need five more outs.
Ideally, there would be no need to fight against the core of Qingdao High School at all.
In the position of the catcher, Bai Yu also breathed a long sigh of relief.
The next batter, when there is someone on base, is more terrifying than the most terrifying batter. And if there is no one on the base, his performance is more average.
After Miyuki was dealt with, they would face Sawamura with two outs and no one on base.
After that, we will solve Sawamura!
The remaining batters, although still can not be taken lightly. But with the strength of Yokohama, they are still very sure to win.
Bai Yu kept his wishful thinking in his heart.
At this time, he already had a relatively complete solution to the Qing Dao.
The next step is to look at how to implement it step by step.
This kind of thing, Bai Yu and Yi Neng have cooperated many times, they are confident.
"Substitution!"
Just when Bai Yu was thinking about how to solve Miyuki confidently, a different voice suddenly came from the rest area of Qingdao High School.
They asked for a substitution.
Substitution? Now? ? ?
What surprised the most was not the spectators on the court, but the players and their supervisors from Yokohama Kokita.
Before the game, Yokohama conducted a detailed investigation of the lineup information of Qingdo High School.
This investigation report includes not only an investigation of the main force of the current Qingdao High School first-team squad, but also a very detailed investigation of the substitutes. After the investigation, they first thought of the possibility of playing and running.
They thought about a lot of people, who might stand up and who might replace them
Of course, there are also there, and they will never be replaced.
For example, forming, for example, Miyuki!
The most important of them is Miyuki.
Miyukiichi also played in high school for the first time and was featured in a magazine. How come he is now a little famous catcher in the country!
It is very rude to say that Miyuki is the core leader of the current Qingdo High School baseball team.
"How can such a person be replaced?"
The players from Yokohama Konkita looked at each other in dismay.
To be honest, they were completely dumbfounded by Kataoka's hand.
What exactly does he want?
No one in Qingdo High School would pay attention to the thoughts of Yokohama Gangbei people, they just change their own people.
Chris replaced Miyuki's blow and stood on the strike zone.
"I"
Miyuki was a little unhappy.
Since he became the main catcher of Qingdao High School, this was the first time he was substituted in the middle of a game.
"Hip-hop, haha."
Kuramochi looked at Miyuki with schadenfreude.
"It's very unhappy It's very unhappy, isn't it very unhappy?"
Miyuki wanted to beat him.
Kuramochi laughed and joked: "Now that Chris is back with a strong comeback, your position as the main catcher may not be guaranteed. After all, your kid is a blind gun. When there are people on the base, it is like having pink eye. When there is no one, The blow is totally unacceptable. If you don’t take the time to correct your problem, I’m afraid that this summer, Qingdao’s starting lineup will not see you.”
Yu Xing, who said this, was speechless.
Although Kuramochi's words were not pleasant, what he said was indeed the truth. At this time, relying on the skills of the catcher alone, it would be difficult for him to occupy the position of the starting catcher.
Waiting for the strike position, Sawamura stared at Chris in the strike zone ahead.
"Master, come on!"
Regardless of past life or present life, this is the first time Sawamura has partnered with Chris in an official game.
Honestly, he was excited
