"It's a pity. Dong almost hit a two-run home run just now. Sure enough, it was because the previous joint training consumed too much physical energy."
"So why do you want to play a practice match with a first-class team like Luzhengshe just after the joint training?"
People watching outside the stadium were chatting and didn't quite understand Supervisor Kataoka's arrangements.
After Dong Qingguo ran to second base, the fifth-batted Murasuke Daiki who came in behind him struggled with Kitayama, the pitcher of Lu Zhengshe, and hit a long hit to the left field. He used this to run to first base.
At the same time, Tetsuya Yuki successfully returned to home plate to score, narrowing the score gap between the two sides.
Although the current score between the two sides is 7:4, Fujii Takashi, who played behind Murasuke Daiki, was in very poor condition and could not pose a sufficient threat to Lu Zhengshe's capture, so he had no choice but to sacrifice with a strike.
He sent Dong Qingguo back to home plate at third base and scored another run, and was banned from the game.
After that, Hiroshi Ohta was struck out by Kitayama for seven at-bats, and Lu Zhengshe got the last out in the first half of the eighth inning.
"Senior Yagami, it's our turn." With the help of his team members, Naoya Kuraza, who had changed into his catcher's protective gear, said to Yagami Ya who had been sitting there motionless just now, not knowing what he was thinking. Yagami Ya stood up and picked up the
Putting on the ball cap that was placed next to him, he followed Naoya Zangza out of the bench and said, "Zangza, I don't want to lose any more points."
After hearing what Senior Yagami said, Zangzao Naoya nodded solemnly and said, "Me too, Senior."
After walking to the back of home plate and squatting down, Zangza glanced directly at Yagami Senior who was standing on the pitcher's mound, thought for a moment, and then gave him the signal.
Yagami nodded, raised his legs, took steps, waved his arms, and threw the baseball in his hand with all his strength.
"call out!"
Kenta Doi, the third bat of the Lushengsha club, swung the metal bat in his hand hard, but he did not expect that his swing would miss. The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew towards the home plate faster than he expected.
It passed by and flew into the open pocket of catcher Kuroza Naoya.
"Bang!"
Kendai Doi was a little surprised by the pitcher's renewed outburst. Unexpectedly, it was already the second half of the eighth inning, and the pitcher's power and speed had returned to the level of the previous three innings. Could it be that he was conserving his energy before this?
Supervisor Okada, who was in the Luzhengsha dugout, also noticed the change in Yagami Yagami's momentum, and immediately gave a signal to the batter Kendai Doi at home plate, "He is indeed a good prospect, but it's a pity that he is not playing for his own team, so...
I’m going to hit him hard!”
After receiving instructions from Supervisor Okada, Kendai Doi, the third batsman of Rishōsha, began to change the grip of the bat and made movements to prepare for bunts. Naoya Kuraza frowned after seeing the movements of the third hitter and stood on the base.
By making bunt moves when no one was around, his purpose could only be to consume the pitcher's physical strength as much as possible. The problem was that Naoya Kuraza had no way to respond accordingly, so he could only signal Yashigami's secret code.
Try a bad ball first.
Yagami Yagami could more or less guess what the batter was thinking. He waved his arm and threw the baseball in his hand according to the code given to him by Naoya Kurazawa. Then, after the baseball left his hand and flew towards home plate, he immediately ran off the pitcher's mound.
.
Unfortunately, Kendai Doi had already seen that the baseball thrown by Yagami Yagami was a bad ball. He watched the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound fly past his eyes without any intention of swinging the bat. Yagami Yagami was running.
After a few steps, he had no choice but to return to the pitcher's mound and stand, receiving the baseball passed back to him by Kuraza, and looking at Kendai Doi who was preparing to bunt again next to home plate.
Kendai Doi made it clear that he would use this method to consume Yagami's remaining physical strength. After getting two good balls and two bad balls, all the balls thrown by Yagami would be swept out of bounds by him.
Running around the area between the pitcher's mound and first base, the sudden strong momentum at the start has been gradually dissipated by Kendai Doi.
…
"The bases are full, and the pitcher's energy has obviously been exhausted by the batter. Why hasn't he been replaced?"
"Yeah, I don't know what Director Kataoka thinks?"
People watching from the outside of the stadium were talking about it, and the Seido players in the Seido rest area could more or less hear what they said. 130 goals were scored. This was the first time that Yashigami played in a game since he transferred to Seido.
Before it was over, the number of balls had already reached 130, not to mention the current lack of physical strength. It can be said that if it weren't for his youthful temperament, and his whole person was boiling with blood and passion, it can be said
Only by shooting all over can he fight to the end regardless of physical injuries.
Naoya Kuraza has been continuously accumulating the number of pitches made by Yashigami. Naturally, he also knows that he can't hold on for much longer and cannot continue to waste away like this with the Rokushosha hitters.
The batters being beaten by Luzhengshe continued to hit and get on base. Not only Yagami, who was the pitcher, but also the seniors guarding other positions...their running speed also became slower. So he asked the referee for a timeout and put the ball on the ground.
The seniors who were guarding the infield called to the pitcher's mound and told them their thoughts. After gaining the seniors' approval, they returned to squatting behind home plate again.
Naoya Kuraza glanced at Fujii, who was about to hit the bat with the six-hitting bat of Rishōsha. With no one out and people on first, second and third base, the possibility of losing runs was very high.
However, since Master Yagami, like him, doesn't want to lose any more points, let's take a gamble!
He first looked at the three regular runners on the base, then looked at the current state of Yashigami on the pitcher's mound, and then gave him a series of secret signals.
The defensive players in the infield, namely the first baseman and the third baseman, took a few steps forward and took a defensive posture in the direction of the batter. The shortstop was ready to rush to third base at any time to block the runner coming from second base.
On the other hand, Yagami nodded and put his left hand holding the baseball behind his back.
After Naoya Kuraza put the ball cover in place, he signaled to Yashigami that he could throw the ball.
After taking a few deep breaths, Iori Yagami stepped forward, waved his arms, and threw the baseball in his palm towards where Naoya Kurazawa's ball cover was.
"call out!"
The baseball that flew out of the pitcher's mound was like a white light flying towards home plate. Fujii, the sixth bat of the Rushongsha Club, swung the bat vigorously and knocked the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"Ping!"
It was a bunt just as Naoya Dozoza had expected. With the bases loaded, no batter would give up a bunt that could easily lead to scoring.
After third baseman Tetsuya Yuki threw the baseball at Yagami Yagami, he immediately ran towards home plate, caught the baseball that flew upside down after being hit by the batter, and then immediately swung his arm to the catcher Naoya Kurama.
, and then from Naoya Kuraza to the shortstop Taro Fukuda who had already run to third base and stepped on the base bag, blocking the four-ball infielder Rokushosha who was running from second base.
At the same time, Rokushosha's six-bat Fujii also successfully ran to first base; after throwing the baseball in his hand, Yagami Yagami ran forward like first baseman Higashi Kiyokuni and third baseman Tetsu Yuki on the field.
After the situation became clear, he turned around and ran back to the pitcher's mound.
The current situation on the field is: two outs, and there are people on first and second base. This chapter has been completed!
