Chapter 50: Reverse!

No Out, runner at first base!

"Ugaah!"

It's the turn of the fifth Batter, Masuko Toru.

At a time like this, Seidou was still relatively passive. The previous few times, Masuko failed to get a hit, and his contribution was equal to zero.

"Come on, Masuko!"

"Use your mighty swing to hit the ball out!"

Masuko's face was also solemn.

In this game, so far, he has not contributed anything. Although Coach Kataoka didn't say anything, the look in his eyes became more and more strange. This also made Masuko feel unparalleled pressure.

At the moment of crisis, his brain is very clear, and it is very clear to play back the scenes in the training camp.

Especially when swinging.

"You don't have to pursue a Full Swing. With your strength, even with a normal grip and a small swing, you can still hit the ball and score hits. Especially when hitting a breaking ball, this kind of grip is more useful."

Director Kataoka's voice kept ringing in Masuko's mind.

He subconsciously shortened the hold of the bat in his hand, even though this grip made him feel very uncomfortable, awkward even. In his mind, he actually felt that such a swing would not hit the ball far at all.

There's no reason, it's just a feeling.

But he did it anyway, not because of Kataoka's words, but had to obey the Superintendent's instructions. It's just that he felt that he had to swallow the bad feeling down.

Even if you can't hit a home run, it's okay, the most important thing is to connect the lineup.

'Here we come!'

The small white ball, at a low angle, begins to slide outward.

Masuko synchronously swings.

The momentum of his swing is not as amazing as when he held the bat in a long grip before. But enough power is contained in his swing.

Ping!

The small white ball was hit and the baseball flew out.

The ball flew crookedly.

The catcher was overjoyed, and sure enough, the Batter missed the center of the ball.

"Outfielder!"

He stood up and beckoned the outfielder to catch the ball.

But the ball was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it traversed most of the field and reached the back of the outfield.

'So far?'

When watching the batter swing, the outfielder of Osaka Kiryuu clearly felt that the ball could not fly too far.

But the real situation is quite the opposite. The ball not only flew very far but also had a lot of speed.

'Oh no, I can't catch up.'

The outfielder was a little dumbfounded, the ball was still full of power, and there was absolutely no sign of it stopping. Although it can't fly off the field, it should be no problem to hit the fence directly.

If you let the ball hit the outer wall, it is at least a double base, and if you run fast, you can even go straight to home plate.

"Definitely stop!"

Heart pounding, the outfielder jumped up when the baseball flew to him.

He raised his Mitt high and caught the ball in his Mitt.

The moment he caught the ball, he also fell.

However, the ball in the Mitt did not fall out because he fell.

This scene made Seidou's players look stupid.

This kind of mid-air jumping and catching in basketball is very common.

But in baseball? Isn't it a joke?

"Such a hit was actually stopped?"

Sawamura's eyes widened, and he looked at the man who was catching the ball in disbelief.

In professional baseball, the probability of this kind of ball being blocked is not very high.

"Their luck was so good!" Miyuki laughed.

This kind of play can only be attributed to the opponent's luck.

"OUT!"

Masuko was solved directly, but because the outfielder who caught the ball fell, Tetsu took the opportunity to advance a base.

One Out, there's a runner at second base!

The dugout of Osaka Kiryuu High School.

Superintendent Matsumoto himself also broke out in a cold sweat.

"Such a Good luck!"

Even he thought it was pure luck to catch the ball.

The hit from Masuko just now really shocked him.

On the strike zone, Masuko looked annoyed.

Even today's luck is against him.

Back to the dugout, He was too ashamed to look up.

As the team's fifth Batters, so far there has not been a single hit. He wanted to dig a hole and hide himself there.

He was a little embarrassed to see Kataoka.

When passing by the Coach, he also lowered his head and walked away in despair.

"That hit just now is well played!" Kataoka spoke suddenly.

'Um?'

Masuko looked at Kataoka in disbelief.

"If you can master that swing, I'll put you back on fifth."

Kataoka said with words like gold.

After hearing that, Miyuki quietly annoyed Sawamura.

"Your status is not guaranteed!"

"That's fine, your status worries me more."

Miyuki's gloating face suddenly froze.

'This guy, there are things you shouldn't say you know.'

If Sawamura knew what Miyuki was thinking, he would definitely give him a big bad stare.

'Others can say that, but you are not one of them.'

I don't even think about his own virtues, and he has the face to talk about others.

"Sixth batter, Catcher, Chris-kun."

This time, it was Chris's turn at bat.

The first time he played against Chris, Osaka Kiryuu's catcher did not know what his swinging habits were. This time, he can only try…

The first ball was an outside corner pitch.

After the ball is called there, Tachi Hiromi throws the ball over there.

Whoosh!

The white ball whistled.

On the strike zone, Chris stepped out and pulled his frame to the outside corner.

Then swung decisively.

Ping!

After the baseball was hit, it flew out!

SNAP!

Without any suspense, the baseball lands. Chris hit first base.

Tetsuya goes straight over third base and back to home plate.

"Safe!"

A perfect hit.

The dugout Osaka Kiryuu High School.

All the players looked at each other.

Not only with the catching but also with such powerful attacking skills?

"The first Catcher in Kanto!"

The player who recognized Chris originally smiled wryly.

After three years of absence, Chris is indeed stronger.

The first time he saw the ball of Tachi, and he hit it.

Seidou's rest area.

It was the first time to play against Tachi, and Miyuki, who was dealt with, also had a complicated expression.

"In the face of an opponent with unknown strength, he used an outside corner Pitch to test him. Chris-senpai also guessed this."

"Hyaa-ha-haa, this tone of yours is so sour!"

"Shut up you!"

One out, runner at first base.

"Seventh batter, pitcher, Sawamura-kun."

"Shisho, run as much as you want, and I'll send you back."

Sawamura waved at Chris with a smile on his face.

Ping!

The bat hits the baseball, and Sawamura runs forward.

The baseball lands on the side of the first baseman and is about to fly.

The first baseman of Osaka Kiryuu jumped at it like a hungry beast.

Sawamura missed the base.

Two Outs, runner at second base. Chris took the opportunity to run to second base.

Ping!

After Sawamura, Shiratsu hits.

Two Outs, runner on first and third base.

Ping!

The small white ball soared into the sky and flew out of the field.

Finally, Seidou's first home run appeared.

The batter is Furuya Satoru.

A three-run homer turned the score in one go, plus the well-timed hit from Chris earlier.

The total score becomes 8:9!

Seidou reversed the score successfully.
