Volume 3: Hot Summer Chapter 008: The Disturbing Ace
"Isn't this line too cool?"
The fans in the stands all expressed the same sentiment.
Although Musashi High School was not a famous school and its academic performance was not outstanding, it was still somewhat well-known in Tokyo and often made it to the third or fourth round of major tournaments.
Generally speaking, the strength of this kind of team is still quite good.
Even when playing against a powerful high school, as long as their team is not in a state of collapse from the beginning, it will not be easy for the opponent to score points from them at the start.
Not to mention the pitcher Kuriyama from Musashi High School, whose changeup is extremely sharp.
Anyone who knows a little about baseball can see that he is quite capable.
If this kind of ball is used well, it is difficult for ordinary batsmen to hit it.
When the game just started, even though all the fans in the stadium were supporters of the Seidou High School baseball team, they thought that it would take some effort to defeat Musashi High School.
Unexpectedly, the new Seidou High School baseball team is so powerful.
Facing the strong Kuriyama, Yamada got the first hit, Dong was walked, the second-year strong hitter Yuki, and the newly promoted rookie Zhang Han.
Get hits one after another!
Helped the team take a two-point lead.
This is not the end yet. The current situation is that there are runners on second and third base.
As long as the next batter gets one more hit, there is a high probability that the score will become 4:0.
Given the foundation of the Seidou High School baseball team, even their defense has been controversial due to the condition of their pitchers.
Then this score is enough for them to secure victory.
"I didn't expect it to be so easy. I thought Musashi High School could hold out for a while longer."
"How dare they call out Senior Dong before the game starts? I thought they were so impressive, but I didn't expect they wouldn't even dare to fight head-on."
In the rest area of the Seidou High School baseball team, everyone's tone was relaxed.
Judging from the current situation, they should have no problem in their first game.
In the stands, several schools that came to scout the Qingdao High School baseball team's game were whispering at this time.
Some even picked up the phone and tipped off their schools.
"Seidou is sure to win! Just like , there are no surprises. Especially the batting line. Although the game has just started, Seidou is still strong."
"Yes, the newly promoted rookie got a hit at the start, helping the team take a two-run lead."
Maybe you can't see anything for the time being, but some things have quietly changed.
At this time, several schools in Tokyo had already noticed Zhang Han's existence.
Of course, this kind of attention is just attention.
It’s been a long time since Zhang Han really became famous in the Tokyo area and became a star player.
there's still a long way to go……
“Ping!”
The little white ball flew up high and then fell down.
Isajiki Jun, who had a mustache, was very unhappy.
Damn it! Damn it!!!
In his debut, that bad boy Zhang Han got a hit and helped the team score.
Why can't he do it?
"Snapped!"
The falling baseball was caught by the third baseman of Musashi High School.
“Out!”
"Three outs, offense and defense switch."
The players of the Musashi High School baseball team breathed a sigh of relief.
It's finally over!
Who knows what they went through on the court?
The terrifying and heavy pressure almost suffocated them.
After just one inning of defense, several players from Musashi High School had beads of sweat on their foreheads.
Although this is due to the hot weather, the most important reason is pressure.
They were under too much pressure when playing against the Seidou High School baseball team.
We were almost ahead by 4 points.
No matter what kind of confidence the players of the Musashi High School baseball team had when they stepped onto the field.
As long as they fall behind by four points in the first inning, they will definitely have no hope in this game.
Fortunately, the worst did not happen, which means they still have hope.
In the bottom of the first inning, Musashi High School attacked.
“Ping!”
“Out!”
"strike out!"
"Snapped!"
“Out!!”
…
Without any delay, Hidezawa got the three batters of Musashi High School out cleanly.
Three ups and three downs.
Although the nuclear-level pitching is a joke, the power of Hidetawa's pitch is a fact.
Once they fall into his rhythm, no matter how hard the players of Musashi High School baseball team try, it is difficult for them to make any waves.
In the top of the second inning, Seidou High School attacked.
Miyuki, who was batting in the 8th position, was out directly.
Gao Junming, the ninth batter, was also eliminated without any performance.
Although Tanaka, the first batter, reached base, that was all.
After him, Hidetawa hit an infield bounce ball and was blocked at first base.
In the second game, Qingdao's attack failed to produce any results.
But it doesn't matter.
In order to score points by hitting, besides strength, luck is also a very important factor.
The reason why we didn’t get any results was not because of lack of strength, but luck.
The members of the Seidou High School baseball team and their supporters are all very confident.
It was only a matter of time before they extended the lead.
At this time, no one expected that the biggest hidden danger of the Qingdao High School baseball team would erupt in this game.
“Ping!”
At the beginning of the bottom of the second inning, the players of Seidou High School baseball team were not mentally prepared at all.
The baseball was swept into the outfield.
Although Gao Junming rushed over quickly, he didn't have time to catch the ball immediately.
result!
"Safety!"
The fourth batter of Musashi High School ran directly to second base.
Musashi High School, which was originally in despair, was like a drowning person grabbing the last straw.
They wanted to get that on base and convert it into points no matter what.
So the fifth batter chose to use the walk tactic when batting hard.
“Ping!”
The runner on second base ran to third base, and the situation became one out and a runner on third base.
Yuki, the catcher, didn't think much about it at first. The opponent gave him an out, so why wouldn't he catch it?
But everything that happened next made Yuki regret it deeply.
If he had known in advance, he would never have chosen to let the runner reach third base easily.
Since the runner reached third base, Senior Hidezawa, who had been pitching as he pleased, immediately made a 180-degree turn in his attitude.
He even had trouble throwing the ball into the strike zone.
Even if I managed to get the ball into the strike zone, the ball was still light and fluttery...
"Walk to get on base."
“Ping!”
"Safety!!"
In the bottom of the second inning, Musashi High School recovered two points.
The score became 2:2.
This is not the end yet, there is still a runner on third base.
One out, runner on third base.
