In the summer Koshien final, Qingdo High School played against Troll Otujimaki High School. In the fourth round, the game entered a climax.
What happened in the fourth game, not only the players who participated in the game, but also the spectators who watched the game on the spot recalled it with pride in the days to come.
certainly.
These things don't feel anything while they are still watching the game.
The situation in front of them is one out, and one at first and third base.
The batter on the strike zone was the fifth stalwart of Qingdo High School, Jun Isashiki.
The mustache-senpai roared aggressively at the pitcher of the troll Otsunomaki High School.
At this moment, his entire aura soared to its peak.
Confronting such an opponent, even a pitcher from Troll Otomaki High School, can't help but feel a rush in his heart.
very dangerous!
Inexplicably, he felt danger. This was his biological instinct. There was no reason, and there was no reason for it.
He felt that the guy on the strike zone was particularly dangerous. How dangerous is it? It's like watching a tiger in a zoo and the tiger's cage is unlocked.
A chilling feeling.
Biting the tip of his tongue lightly, Nitta pulled himself away from this strange feeling.
His eyes grew firmer.
There is no doubt that now is a huge crisis at Troll High. As the team's ace, he must lead his teammates to get through, otherwise, this game, the troll Otsunomaki, will probably end here.
"Absolutely not allowed!"
Nitta's pitching hand twisted in a strange posture, and at this moment, he pitched the spin of the screwball to the extreme.
Isashiki Jun on the strike area, his eyes became extremely sharp and focused.
He also knows the importance of this blow, and he clearly knows the result of this blow, which is even directly related to the trend of the game.
In his heart, he hoped that he could show something as soon as possible and help Sawamura Eijun to share the pressure.
But when she really hit it, all these miscellaneous thoughts were thrown into the back of her mind.
"When you are in the game, you must concentrate on the game!"
This is what Director Kataoka told him again and again. In the three years of Qingdao High School, he has always thought and did so.
Now facing the opponent, facing the situation that decides the victory or defeat.
He still does.
Swing the bat like before, give it your all as you did before.
The afterimage of the bat spun for a while, hitting the white ball with precision.
"Ping!"
The hit is a level fly ball, and the ball does not fly high or low just right. It's just that there are some problems with the orientation. This small white ball appears directly in front of the outfielder Okajo Renji.
The formation at first base and Sawamura at third base were all ready to stare at the ball.
"More than 50 meters, there is a chance!"
The third base running instructor looked at the ball and whispered to Sawamura Eijun.
Although it seems that the stamina of the baseball is lacking and it is about to land, the distance has already exceeded 50 meters. Whether it is the outfielder's catch or the baseball landing, Sawamura Eijun has the opportunity to run back to home plate with this distance.
"Um!"
Sawamura nodded secretly.
In his heart, he silently calculated the speed and position of Lianji and the baseball.
More than 70% of the probability will be killed!
With this mental preparation, Sawamura quietly returned to third base, so that after Renji received the ball, he could start directly.
The batter is picked up, and the runner on third base must start at the third base bag.
Sawamura had already made up his mind. Jun Isashiki, who had hit the ball, started to run. The formation of the first base was a little slower, but he also ran to the second base.
It seems that this time Qingdao High School's score is 9 out of 10.
Not only the players of Qingdao High School thought so, but more than 60,000 spectators at the scene, at least 50,000 people thought so.
The distance is a little far, and even if the outfielder can catch the kill, the probability that they will be able to return the ball is very small.
Not to mention killing Sawamura!
And just then, something miraculous happened.
The ball hit by Jun Isashiki landed right in front of Renji, who ran forward to catch the ball.
Just as he approached the white ball, he didn't know what was under his feet, as if he stumbled suddenly.
Lianji stumbled and missed the opportunity to catch the ball.
"Snapped!"
The small white ball fell to the ground.
Here's your chance!
Sawamura, who was at the third base, naturally did not miss this detail.
Lianji is now about fifty or sixty meters away from home plate. In this case, even if he receives the ball directly into his own glove, it is difficult for him to pass the home plate in time.
And the distance is so far, even if it can be transmitted, the accuracy rate is greatly reduced.
Not to mention, now that the baseball has hit the ground, he needs to pick up the ball and pass it again.
Sawamura stomped on the third base bag with one foot, and then the whole person dashed towards home plate like a sharp arrow that was off the string.
From Sawamura Eijun's point of view, this score is almost certain.
But what happened next slapped him hard in the face As Sawamura Eijun ran to home plate, Rinji, who was staggering under his feet, flashed a cold arc at the corner of his mouth.
The fish is hooked!
At the first moment of the baseball's rebound, he grabbed the baseball directly with his hands, without using gloves to cushion it.
"hiss!"
The hand that catches the ball hurts terribly. Even Lianji couldn't help taking a deep breath.
But this did not affect his reaction at all, and he passed the ball directly to second base for the first time.
The formation of running base ahead of time is already close to second base at this time. But the lotus itself is far away from the position of Erli, which is more than 20 meters, less than 30 meters.
The pass from this position is very quick and precise.
In the blink of an eye, the shortstop who came to fill caught the ball and stepped on the second base bag.
The fast-paced Eijun Sawamura was already close to home plate at this time.
If the shortstop wants to pass the home plate, it is too late. Fortunately, he didn't think about it at all, but passed the ball to first base.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
"Out!!"
After two consecutive exits, the entire stadium fell into an instant silence.
"Wow!"
"What was that just now?"
"Double kill on the earth in the outfield!"
"how can that be?"
Qingdao High School, which originally thought that it would be able to score one point with nine out of ten, finally did not score any points in the fourth game.
Three outs, offense and defense exchange!
Lianji's performance can only make people say that the troll Otsunomaki is really lucky.
Even among the players of Qingdo High School, there are many people who think that the trolls were able to defend because of good luck, and Renji worked hard enough.
"Fuck luck!"
Sawamura, who ran back to home plate but didn't score, immediately swears after hearing everyone's introduction.
