In the first half of the eighth inning, Ukumori High School attacked.
At this time, Qingdao High School replaced its relay pitcher Kawakami on the field. In the eyes of the vast majority of people on the scene, the magic that Ukumori High School can continue should end here.
Although Kawakami is not the top pitcher in the country, his pitcher strength is definitely not weak. Among all pitchers in Tokyo, he can basically rank in the top ten.
At his level, even if he had a head-to-head fight with Ukumori High School alone, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Not to mention that the current players of Ukumori High School are already exhausted and exhausted.
At this time, only a light straw should be able to crush him completely.
When Paikawa played to end the game, he already looked down on Ujimori High School very much. Many people think that even if Xiao Gu Xiao continues to vote, there should be no problem.
Ukumori High School is clearly at the end of the game, so it shouldn't take much effort to solve them.
When Plum Palace stood on the strike zone, he acted exactly as the audience thought.
His physical strength has obviously been exhausted, and it is hard to imagine that in his current state, he can still hit Kawakami's ball. But things are so miraculous. Just when everyone thought it was impossible, a miracle happened. Mei Gong beautifully hit Kawakami's ball and won the hit smoothly.
No outs, man at first base.
This sudden change completely hooked up the curiosity in the audience. The game that has been like a pool of stagnant water seems to have undergone different changes at this time.
Ukumori High School had already fallen into the abyss. At this time, a strong arm seemed to hang them on the tree sticking out from the cliff.
Even now, the chances of Ukumori High School being able to reverse and win in the end are very slim.
But you have to admit that this opportunity does arise.
And just like that, it was the fifth bat of Ukumori High School, the big fangs.
Mrs. Dog Fu!
Although this guy is not good-looking, he still has strength, and he is an opponent that should not be underestimated.
in the catcher's position.
Miyuki also suddenly said, "Sorry! It's my problem with the ball."
In fact, it wasn't just a matter of pitching, nor was it a pitcher's problem. The reason why Mei Gong was able to hit the ball beautifully was entirely because of his extraordinary performance.
In this case, the reason why Miyuki put all the responsibility on himself was mainly because he was afraid that the ball would affect Kawakami's state. After all, the pitcher has just come on the court, and it is not a good feeling to be hit as soon as he plays.
Mei Gong, who was on the base, looked eager to try, ready to steal the base at any time.
The battering Inufu Gongtai was also very positive, showing a hideous face, waving the bat in his hand again and again to put pressure on the pitcher.
"The other party is just struggling to the death, don't mind."
Miyuki's performance was very relaxed, as if he didn't care about his opponent at all. He has to show that, otherwise if even his catcher panics, what will the pitcher do?
Kawakami is also one of the main rotation players of Qingdao High School that once won the national dominance.
If nothing else, his psychological quality is still passable, and his state was not affected by this hit from Mei Gong.
Still very sharp when throwing the ball.
Mei Gong, who was actively stealing bases, did not rush out like a headless fly as he had shown himself.
really!
In the beginning, Ukumori High School went on a rampage to find opportunities. Now that their chances are getting fewer and fewer, Ukumori High School will not waste their eliminations worthless.
Yu Xing, who was determined in his heart, wholeheartedly solved the hitter in front of him.
"Ping!"
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Inufu did not entangle with them, but bit a sweeter ball and slammed it out.
After the ball is hit, it bounces off the ground.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki was doing calculations.
No problem, it should be possible to get a double kill.
"Pass second base!"
He gave the instructions neatly.
After Kanemaru caught the ball, he passed it to second base.
At the same time, Mei Gong also ran to second base.
In Kuramochi-san's eyes, there was a flash of mischief.
Mei Gong Shengyi's speed is very abnormal, how could he have run to second base at this time.
But the fact is that, at this time, Mei Gong had already run to second base.
When Kuramochi caught the ball, Umemiya's hand had already touched the base bag in advance.
"Safety!"
Double kill failed!
Kuramochi had no choice but to pass the ball to first base, but after a delay just now, it was too late to pass first base.
In the moment before the baseball was passed back into the front garden glove, Inufufu passed first base smoothly.
No one out, there are people at first and second base!
The double kill that was supposed to be a close call, just flew like this! There was even a delay in the number of outs for this.
Ujimori High School, which had almost fallen into the abyss, climbed up step by step in such a miraculous way, and finally climbed to the edge of the cliff again.
This miraculous scene stunned all the audience at the scene.
There were many people who started to support Ukumori High School.
As the game progresses, more and more people support them. By now, almost 1/3 to 1/4 of the people at the scene have chosen to support Ukumori High School. the entire stadium.
The fans of Qingdao High School were also not to be outdone and responded immediately.
Not only did the audience see their blood pumping, but even some baseball professionals were excited to watch it.
Fujio murmured.
"This team! This team!!!"
The performance of Ukumori High School was so amazing that even he didn't know what to say.
But now the atmosphere on the field is very strange, and the situation inevitably tilts towards the side of Ukumori High School.
"It's almost time!"
Fujio looked thoughtfully at the rest area of Qingdo High School.
This kind of crisis scene needs the ace pitcher to come forward to turn the tide.
It's just that once Sawamura Eijun played, the psychological advantage they had accumulated before was gone, which meant that Qingdo High School had to go all out to face the opponent in front of him.
And once Sawamura comes on the court, he can't stop the madness of Ukumori High School, and the game is likely to develop to the other extreme.
How many people on the scene thought so, and even Ochiai thought that now was not the time to retain strength.
You know, there is no turning back in high school baseball, and once you fail, there is nothing left.
Supervisor Kataoka remained unmoved.
"Until now, everything is caused by coincidence. There is not much problem with the performance of the players themselves. At this time, we must choose to believe them."
Umemiya Seiichi's on base, double play failed...
Strictly speaking, it is not Kawakami's responsibility. In normal times, in this situation, the players of Qingdao High School have already won the double play.
Now, just because he failed to win the double play, he replaced Kawakami, who had no major mistakes in pitching, and Kataoka thought it was inappropriate.
This is irresponsible to the players.
Crisis is also an opportunity. If Kawakami can solve this crisis by himself, then his strength will definitely be improved.
In order to better train players, Kataoka is willing to take risks.
My own supervision and strong will also influenced the players.
"Let them fight!"
"We'll stop it!"
"Just kill them all in one go."
The little friends opened their mouths one by one, cheering for Kawasami.
"Don't be nervous, we all believe in you. Right here, let's deal with the opponent in one go!"
Miyuki also cheered Kawakami!
He believed that there was no problem with Kawakami, and he would definitely be able to overcome the current difficulty.
"call!!"
Taking a long breath, Kawakami kept thinking about his previous pitches.
Mei Gong's goal was almost helpless. Although the opponent was exhausted, he still stubbornly hit the ball. Facing such a result, Kawakami couldn't say anything.
After that ball, he actually solved the hitter.
The reason why the double-kill failed was caused by tactical mistakes.
After thinking about all this, Kawakami finally calmed down.
There is no problem with his pitching, as long as he sticks to his own style, don't panic, don't mess up, it will definitely be resolved smoothly, and all the remaining hitters.
At the second base position, Mei Gong once again put on a stance of eagerness to try.
At the same time, Mrs. Inufu, who was on the first base, also behaved very dishonestly.
It looks like it's going to steal bases.
Miyuki could also see their bravado, so he gave Kawakami a secret signal to let Kawakami ignore them and concentrate on pitching.
Kawakami nodded and shot the ball decisively.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball came flying, and Umemiya and Inufushi, who were eager to try, all started.
Double steal base!
Miyuki frowned.
The opponent's strategy made him a little confused, but he knew exactly what he should do.
In a situation where he could only stop one of the double stolen bases, of course he chose to steal the third base's Mei Gong.
As long as he calmly wins Umegura, then Ukumori High School will be giving them an out for nothing.
The number of outs that come to the door for nothing, don't give up.
At the same time Miyuki made up his mind, he also stood up, preparing to pass the ball directly to third base after catching the ball.
At this moment, a mutation occurred.
In front of Miyuki, a bat suddenly appeared.
"Ping!"
The white ball was knocked out.
Hit and run!
Because Ukumori High School had always been mindless stealing bases before, Qingdao High School was wary of other tactics at the beginning. Gradually, they became accustomed to Ukumori High School’s routine and believed that the opponent’s stealing base itself was mindless. Yes, you can totally ignore it.
In this case, they just need to concentrate on dealing with the runners.
I didn't expect that there would be a hit and run at this time.
Kura, who had run to second base, inevitably missed the first spot of the ball.
rely on it!
The Scud man was immediately furious, and he immediately ran towards the ball.
Because of this, he missed the opportunity to deal with Mrs. Inufu.
It's a pity, but there's no way around that. Fortunately, his speed was fast enough. Although he didn't arrive at the baseball's landing spot immediately, there was no way to intercept Inufufu Gongtai and Umemiya Seiichi.
But batters don't have to think about hitting base.
After Kuramochi received the ball, he passed it directly to Mae Park.
After such a delay just now, the batter was almost on the verge of reaching first base at this time.
As Qianyuan prepares to catch the ball, he uses his peripheral vision to pay attention to the runners.
Kuramochi was still very strong. Although he missed the first drop of the baseball, he still passed the ball into the glove of the front garden before the batter hit base.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
Qianyuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Although the situation in front of him was a little more critical, it did not cause any unimaginable consequences.
But the situation they are facing is probably getting more and more severe.
Before Maeyuan could relax his heart completely, he heard a loud shout from the catcher's position.
"Pass home plate!"
The one who called was Miyuki.
Qianyuan turned his head in panic and saw a very incredible scene. Mei Gong, who had just run to third base before, did not know when he had already rushed to home plate.
At this time, he had already run halfway, and he was only a dozen meters away from home plate.
This distance, in front of the runners running with all their strength, is only two seconds.
Before Maeyuan could think about it, he just passed the baseball in his hand.
But he heard the sound, turned his head, passed the ball, and finally the ball passed a distance of nearly 30 meters and flew into Miyuki's glove.
Plum Palace has reached home plate.
Miyuki only had time to stretch out his gloves.
"Safety!"
"Score!!!"
In this way, Ukumori High School tenaciously scored the fifth point under extremely unlikely circumstances.
The total score became 6:5.
The gap between the two sides is only the last point.
At this time, the offense of Ukumori High School was far from over.
Once out, there is someone at second base.
Their offense continues, and the scoring opportunities expand indefinitely.
This series of magical performances dazzled the audience at the scene.
This performance is already wonderful enough, and if you think of Ukumori High School's opponent is Ao Michi, this kind of obsessive feeling is even stronger.
"Ukumori!"
"Ukumori!!!!"
For a moment, the whole audience was filled with cheers for Ukumori.
Although the voice of cheering Qingdao quickly, he rushed out and competed with the other party.
But that still doesn't change the fact.
That is this game, the players of Ukumori High School did a miracle.
You must know that at the beginning of the game, everyone in the audience was a fan of Qingdao High School.
It's just a game, and nearly half of the fans on the court turned against each other.
The charm of Ukumori High School cannot be understated.
The rest area of Qingdao High School.
Coach Ochiai stood up angrily.
If he was able to endure it before, now he can't bear it anymore.
Just before he could make a move, Supervisor Kataoka, who was wearing sunglasses, suddenly turned to look at Sawamura and asked in a flat tone.
"Are you ready?"
"at any time!"
At some point, Sawamura took off the big mask on his face.
"Qingdao High School has changed pitchers, and Sawamura Eijun is on the court!!!!"
After losing a point, Director Kataoka resolutely replaced Kawakami who had just played.
At this time, his eyes seemed to have lost the warm look he had before, and some were just the coldness that belonged to the supervisor.
"Supervision!"
This scene made Ochiai stand up in anger, not knowing what to say.
"You're worried!"
Director Kataoka bowed slightly to Ochiai, who was ten years older than him.
"It's not wrong for me to really want to train Kawakami, but I haven't been stubborn yet. In order to train one person, the interests of the entire team are on the line!"
"The next job is the ace's mission!"
Ochiai is thoughtful Superintendent Kataoka seems to be willing to train more pitchers, and he is not so trusting of ace.
If it was on another team, they would hold a card like Eijun Sawamura in their hands, and as long as the opportunity was right, they would definitely play this card.
But Kataoka didn't do that.
But in fact, no one trusts the strength of his own ace more than him, right?
He should think that no matter what the situation is, as long as Qingdao High School is still in the lead at that time, Sawamura can stabilize the situation.
So do it!
From this point of view, Director Kataoka should trust Sawamura Eijun's strength more than everyone else.
He believes that the trump card of his choice.
"Looks like I'm unfounded."
