Chapter 24: Advance! Advance
The ace of Black Rain High School was beaten to pieces.
But even when the opponent collapsed, the players of the Yakushima High School baseball team did not give up their attack.
They are still looking for opportunities.
First of all, Sanada came on to attack. After struggling with two goals, he found the right opportunity to take action.
"Ping!"
Have to admit it.
Although Sanada-senpai's striking ability is good, it is not easy at all for him to deal with changing balls.
After the baseball was hit, it landed directly on the side of Black Rain's third baseman.
Under normal circumstances, this ball is very likely to be blocked.
But their ace was not the only one who collapsed at Black Rain High School. Compared to Nobu Nakagawa, who was able to adjust himself, the mentality of the other players at Black Rain High School was even more vulnerable.
It's okay when the team has hope of winning the game, but once the team completely loses hope of winning the game, they will immediately collapse.
On the contrary, it was the Seongkong High School baseball team that played against the Yakushi High School baseball team in the first game. They performed more tenaciously when they encountered difficulties.
This is the difference between a traditional strong team and a weak team.
The Black Rain High School baseball team is strong because of Nobu Nakagawa, but the only one who is strong is Nobu Nakagawa.
Only when the team is going well can the other players of Black Rain High School show their strength.
Once the team encounters force majeure.
They encountered an opponent that no matter what they did, there was no way they could win.
The players on this team will immediately choose to perform badly.
Facing the flying ball, the opponent's third baseman just blocked it symbolically, and then watched the baseball pass through.
With such an unsuccessful hit, Sanada Junpei not only reached first base, but even went directly to second base.
One out, second base is occupied.
At this time, it was Li Lei's turn to hit, he was the team's sixth batsman.
Li Lei had also noticed his opponent's poor performance.
If the other party is determined to do this, then there is nothing Li Lei can do to help them.
Otherwise, it would be too unloyal!
"Ping!"
Another clean hit, the baseball flew directly to the outfield.
As the baseball bounced off the ground, Li Lei successfully ran past first base and then advanced to second base.
Sanada Junpei, who was originally staying at second base, took this opportunity to return directly to home base and helped the team score the 7th point.
"7:0!"
In the stands, the more than 100 supporters who came to cheer for the Pharmacy High School baseball team had their eyes red with excitement.
Before this, they obviously did not expect that the game would present such a one-sided situation.
The gap between the two sides is a bit scary.
"Lee Lei Sang!!!"
The friends in the rest area, except Mishima who was a bit depressed, were all very excited.
This is no wonder Mishima.
Two at-bats, one was resolved and one was walked.
In the end, he didn't even get a decent hit, let alone help the team score.
Under such circumstances, how could Mishima, who had always been proud, laugh?
He felt that God was deliberately targeting him.
Otherwise, it makes no sense at all. Why can everyone else score hits, runs, and even home runs?
Just him and nothing else.
Supervisor Todoroki Raizo also had a smile on his face.
The match went surprisingly smoothly.
The players all learned a lesson and their strengths were brought into full play.
Everything seems to be developing in a good direction.
This is very good.
Even this harsh supervisor like him could not find any fault with the performance of his disciples on the court.
If so, is there anything else that can be improved?
Then all that’s left is probably to adjust the wiring!
Like most of the players on the Yakushima High School baseball team, Todoroki Raizo was full of distrust of Li Lei's hitting ability at first.
Otherwise, he would not be placed in the sixth battalion position.
This location is very particular.
Although it is also located in the middle line, its importance is not at the same level as the 4th and 5th bars.
With Li Lei's strength, it is obviously very inappropriate for him to stay in the lower position and play in the lane.
One's own family knows one's own affairs.
The second and third grade players on their Yakushi High School baseball team are really not qualified to stand in front of Li Lei.
Once they arrange it like that, it seems too deliberate.
Therefore, Li Lei is most suitable in the sixth battalion.
But after playing the last two games, Director Todoroki Raizo felt that their previous preconceived ideas seemed a bit inappropriate.
They did not fully take into account Li Lei's terrifying progress.
Perhaps three months ago, this arrangement would have been appropriate.
But now, this arrangement is inappropriate.
"The next game is Moriyama, and if nothing else happens, the next one will be the third high school student in the city."
Hong Lei hid it in his heart and secretly made a decision.
When they meet the city's senior baseball team, in addition to Junpei Sanada, they can also prepare another surprise for each other.
A very big surprise!
In the entire third inning, the Yakushima High School baseball team scored a total of 6 points.
The score on the field became 8:0.
In the third game, they lost one point and the score became 8:1.
After scoring that point, the Black Rain High School baseball team's sluggish momentum recovered a little.
But before they could recover, the Yakushima High School baseball team gave them another series of critical hits.
The Yakushi High School baseball team scored 4 points in one breath.
The score on the court therefore became 12:1.
Although in the fifth inning, the Yakushima High School baseball team only scored one run.
They played the whole game without breaking out again.
But the score on the court still became 13:1.
If a player on the Black Rain High School baseball team cannot score a score in the last inning, it must be no less than three points.
Only then do they have a chance to fight.
Otherwise, the game will come to an end at this point.
The Yakushima High School baseball team did not change pitchers today, and it was always Sanye who was in charge of pitching.
Fortunately, Sanye's performance did not disappoint.
In addition to the one run he gave up, he only gave up 5 hits in the entire game.
The performance is still remarkable.
Especially in the last inning, facing the opponent's top hitters, the three fields tenaciously scored one out after another.
Even if the opponent counterattacked wildly, he always maintained his own rhythm and did not mess up his position.
"Snapped!"
As the last ball was hit and caught in the gloves by Hong Leishi who suddenly jumped up, today's game officially came to an end.
"The Yakushi High School Baseball Team played against the Black Rain High School Baseball Team. After 5 rounds of fierce battle, Yakushi finally won the game!!!"
"The pharmacist advances to the top 32!"
Only after the Yakushima High School baseball team won two games in a row did they truly have the qualifications to challenge the giants.
Daocheng Industrial, Qingdao High School.
As the champion and runner-up of the Tokyo Spring Competition, they are the 1st and 2nd seeds in this competition.
They all really started playing in this round.
Chapter completed!
