Whether Naoya Kuraza's idea can be successful depends on the fact that Fujii will definitely bunt in the six bats of Rishōsha. If he does not bunt and chooses to attack directly, Naoya Kuraza's idea will not be realized at all. Moreover, he wants to start from the exhausted position. It would be relatively easy for Iori Yagami to hit a hit, otherwise Aomichi would continue to lose points.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
Second baseman Murasuke Daiki caught the baseball that flew towards him after being hit by the seven bats of Ryusei Shosha, turned around, ran back two steps, and threw the baseball in his hand toward first base.
“out.“
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."
Iori Yagami let out a long breath, ran off the pitcher's mound, and touched the covers of catcher Naoya Kuraza on the way back to the dugout. Finally, no runs were allowed in the inning.
Back in the rest area, Yagami helped Naoya Zangzao take off his protective gear and asked, "Zangzao, can you get on base later?"
The movements of Naoya Kuraza's hands suddenly paused. His eyes glanced at the scoreboard at the back of the court and he understood what he meant.
"I will work hard, senior."
"How can we win this game if we don't fight hard?" When Yagami said this, he showed a look that Naoya Kuraza had never seen on his face.
Naoya Kuraza picked up the hat he needed to wear when he hit the field, walked out with the bat, and said firmly to Yagami behind him: "Senior, I will hit the bases."
Yagami Yagami is putting on protective gear for himself, and his batting ranking is behind Naoya Kuraza. If he can successfully get on base, all he has to do is find a way to send him back to home plate to score.
Naoya Kuraza, who walked into the batter's box, tapped home plate lightly with his bat, then raised it high, waiting for a hit.
The pitcher of Luzhengsha was not Kitayama, who had shown fatigue before, but a third-year relief pitcher. It seemed that the director of Luzhengsha, Okada, wanted to defeat them in one fell swoop and not give them a chance to even the score.
With this in mind, he adjusted his standing posture again, spreading his legs slightly, bending his knees slightly, and lowered his body's center of gravity.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
After letting go of the first pitch thrown by the pitcher of Rokushosha, Kuraza Naoya swung the metal bat in his hand towards the second pitch that came after him, and hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound with all his strength.
"Ping!"
After the baseball was hit by Naoya Kuraza, it flew quickly across the area between first and second base, hit the ground and bounced into the right field. The right fielder of Rokushosha rushed up and hurriedly chased after it. of baseball.
After Naoya Kuraza rushed to first base, he first looked at the situation on the field. Although the second baseman was a little far away from the base bag, the right fielder had already arrived in front of the still rolling baseball and picked it up.
Under such circumstances, he did not have enough time to rush to second base, so he had no choice but to stop and start taking off his protective gear.
After Yagami stood up in the batter's box, he swung the bat and waited for a hit.
Although his current hitting level is similar to that of Senior Hiroshi Ohta, and he is no longer at the bottom of the first team, but now Senior Ohta is basically unable to become one of the nine starters in official games. Most of the time, he can only Stay on the bench as a substitute.
Therefore, with his batting ability, it is much more difficult to send runners back to home plate to score than to get him on base. If there is a chance, I still hope that Director Kataoka can adjust the relationship between him and Naoya Kuraza. Damn, after all, the two of them have similar striking levels.
"call out!"
The first pitch thrown by Luzhengsha's pitcher seemed to fly past Yagami's waist, causing him to take a step back.
"Bang!"
“ball.“
After standing in the batting area again, Yagami turned his head and glanced at the dugout. Director Kataoka did not give him any instructions. He could only move the wrists of his hands first, and then grip the bat again.
Kuraza Naoya at first base took a few more steps toward second base, much further away from the first base bag. He also stamped the ground with his feet to attract the attention of the pitcher of Rokushosha, and even did something like
He got ready to throw the pinned ball.
As a result, the catcher Kendai Doi of Luzhengsha had to hammer his ball cover hard to make the pitcher return his attention to the home plate. After giving him a signal, he placed the ball cover in the inside corner of the ball.
area.
It can be said that the current third-year substitute pitcher is not as good as the previous Kitayama. If it is not the last inning, even if everyone in Qingdao is exhausted, they will have a greater chance of reversing the score between the two sides.
At the moment when the pitcher of Luzhengsha was about to throw the baseball in his hand, Naoya Kuraza sprinted towards the second base, and Kendai Doi immediately changed his posture to catch the ball; at the same time, Yagami waved the metal bat in his hand vigorously, and hit Luzheng
The club's defense interfered to help Naoya Kuraza complete his stolen base.
Due to Yagami Yagami's swing interference, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound finally flew past Kendai Doi. When he got up to pick up the baseball that flew behind him, Naoya Kuraza had already passed second base and was about to rush
Got to third base.
"Safe." The third-base umpire spread his hands flat, indicating that Naoya Kuraza successfully stole the base.
After regaining his stance, Yagami hesitated for a moment whether to choose a short or long hit, and finally decided to choose a long hit and waited for the blow.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
The metal bat swept by Yagami collided with the white baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The thrust from the bat made Yagami swing the bat out with all his strength.
The baseball flew far away at great speed. Yagami shook off the bat and started running. At the same time, Naoya Kuraza at third base also ran back towards home plate.
This was a high-flying hit in center field. The center fielder of Luzhengsha never expected that Yagami could hit the baseball so far under such circumstances, and only ran over when the baseball flew into the outfield.
.Unfortunately, he was still a little slow. When the baseball hit the ground and kept rolling, he ran over.
With this hit, Naoya Kuraza ran back to home plate and scored another run for Aomichi, which meant that the score difference between the two sides was only one point; Yagami Yagami also successfully rushed to first base at this time.
The next player on the field was Aomichi's first bat Taro Fukuda, who sent Yagami Yagami to second base with a sacrifice hit, and he was banned; Aomichi's second batter Yuki Tanaka also used a high fly sacrifice hit to send away
As soon as Iori Yagami ran up to third base, he was a few steps away from the third base bag, looking at Aomichi Yuki Tetsuya who was walking into the batter's box, waiting for the opportunity to run back to home plate.
.
“strike out.“
The new pitcher from Ryuzhengsha was a slow-heat pitcher who was unstable at the start and needed time to adapt. At this time, he did not give Seido's batters any chance and directly struck out Tetsuya Yuki, Seido's third bat, and won the game.
The last number of outs ends today's practice match.
