Chapter 99: No Stopping

"Damn!"

Seeing Kuramochi go to the base, Maki's expression changed immediately!

His heart is shaking~

After carefully studying the information on Seidou High School, it is not difficult to find a pattern. Once Kuramochi goes to base, the probability of Seidou High School's score will increase greatly!

'Does Kuramochi worry you so much?'

After Kuramochi, Kominato Ryosuke, who stood in the strike zone, keenly noticed Maki's strangeness, and then a wicked smile appeared on his mouth.

'That would be interesting!'

Kominato Ryosuke would never mind putting his opponent in a tougher situation.

If the opponent is standing on the edge of the cliff, the first one from Seidou High School to stand up and push the opponent off the cliff must be Kominato Ryosuke.

Now he's going to play that role, and he's doing it without hesitation.

The bat in his hand was raised high, and his eyes were fixed on Maki who was pitching the ball.

The catcher in the catcher position of Sensen High School, on his forehead, beads of sweat the size of beans kept falling.

He had never felt so terrified before.

It turned out that Kuramochi Yoichi brought him so much pressure after going to base!

It was so huge that his entire body trembled.

The runner is Yoichi Kuramochi, who is very fast, and the batter is Kominato Ryosuke, who has superb batting skills.

'How will they attack? What kind of offensive tactics will be used?'

Even without waiting, Kuramochi moved away from the base, and the catcher of Sensen High School couldn't help himself and trembled in fear.

Subconsciously swallowing his saliva, the catcher of Sensen High School, tremblingly gave Maki the ball.

Right now, Maki did not focus on his partner but focused on Kuramochi on first base from the corner of his eyes.

'So far! Really far!!!'

Although runners can indeed leave the base to a certain range.

But not so far!

It felt like the runner didn't have time to get back to first base at all.

Whoosh!

A pinning ball was thrown just like that.

The white ball reached first base in an instant.

One step ahead of the ball, Kuramochi Yoichi also returned to first base.

"Safe!"

The Containment failed!

Although it was expected, Maki's face was still ugly.

This lead also proves that Kuramochi can steal bases at any time in his current position.

"The pitcher of Sensen High School seems to be in the wrong state!"

When Maki turned his head for the third time, he looked at Kuramochi at first base. In the stands, several players from Inashiro Industrial immediately discovered the problem keenly.

Narumiya Mei pouted in disappointment.

"It doesn't matter what the runners do, your current opponent is Kominato Ryosuke, who has very comprehensive batting skills."

At Seidou High School, there were not many players who were acknowledged by Narumiya Mei, only four and a half.

The first is of course his old friend, Miyuki Kazuya.

The second is Sawamura Eijun, who once made him deflated in middle school.

The third is Kominato Ryosuke, whose attacking skills are very difficult to deal with, which makes him extremely concerned.

And Yuuki Tetsuya goes without saying.

The other half is the current catcher, Chris-senpai, who is the main catcher. In the beginning, he had witnessed the power of Chris with his own eyes, but there was only a one-year window period. He didn't know what strength Chris had now, he could only count him as half.

From Narumiya Mei's point of view, Kuramochi on the first base is certainly not as difficult as Kominato Ryosuke on the strike zone.

But Maki on the mound obviously didn't think so.

He kept looking back at Kuramochi, trying to contain Kuramochi with his eyes.

Kuramochi was also obedient. Seeing Maki like this, he honestly returned to first base.

"Humph!"

Maki humphed, and he knew that Kuramochi couldn't move now.

Now that Kuramochi has withdrawn, he can deal with Kominato Ryosuke wholeheartedly.

On the strike zone, the corners of Kominato Ryosuke's mouth twitched badly.

'He fell for it!'

Right now, Maki was really fooled.

Whoosh!

Maki pitches the ball.

The small white ball flew towards the top of the home plate like a stream.

At the same time, the first base Kuramochi, one step ahead, left the base bag.

'As a runner, even if my foot is on the base bag, I can still steal the base.'

With one foot on the ground, Kuramochi's entire body immediately jumped out and ran to second base.

Faster! Faster!!

The Sensen catcher, who caught the ball, wants to contain Kuramochi, but it is too late.

'Too bad, with that guy's speed, you will suffer.'

On the strike zone, Kominato Ryosuke watched all this with a smile.

During the whole process, he had no intention of helping.

"Safe!"

No Outs, runner at first base, became no Out, with a runner at second base.

Right now, Kominato Ryosuke put on a bunt stance.

Bunt with stealing bases!

Seidou High School played this tactic a lot before.

"I won't let the same tactic succeed twice in a row."

In the rest area of ​​Sensen, Coach Ugai Kazuyoshi decisively gave the players on the field a sign.

Right here, finish them.

Sensen's infielders began to move forward quietly.

They took the forward defense formation.

Seidou's rest area, Sawamura's eyes suddenly widened.

"Oh, they are being tough, Sensen!"

Chris nodded: "They don't want to lose any more points anyway, but it's not so easy, they look down on Ryosuke too much."

As soon as the voice fell, the situation on the field changed.

Maki threw the ball, and Kominato Ryosuke, who was originally in a bunt stance, suddenly retracted the bat and again swung it fully to hit the ball hard.

Ping!

The small white ball was hit, obviously a little low, and the baseball bounced off the ground and was caught by the shortstop.

"Pass third base!"

Kuramochi was acting together with Kominato Ryosuke and he started running when Maki pitched the ball.

By this time the shortstop picked the ball, Kuramochi had already reached third base.

Sensen's shortstop was stunned for a moment and made a judgment unwillingly.

'It's too late!'

He could only turn his head and throw in the direction of first base.

Right in front of Kuramochi, the running instructor who stayed at third base at Seidou High School gave Kuramochi a sign to continue!

Kuramochi didn't even look back, just touched the third base and sprinted toward home plate.

"BACK HOME!" Sensen's catcher exclaimed.

But there was no time, because Kominato Ryosuke was already on the first base, and Sensen's shortstop was focused on Kominato Ryosuke, and he couldn't change his aim to home plate right now.

Sensen's first baseman saw it and he hurried to catch the ball, but because of his posture, his foot accidentally left the base bag.

Kominato Ryosuke seized the opportunity and reached first base.

"Safe!"

This result was obviously far beyond Sensen's first baseman's expectations.

But he couldn't even look back because he wanted to stop Kuramochi from stealing the Home plate.

SNAP!

The first baseman passed the ball and it finally reached the catcher, but it was too late.

Kuramochi's speed was too fast, and he went from second base to third base to home plate without slowing down in the process. He appeared at the home plate almost instantly and stepped on the plate with one foot before the catcher caught the ball!

"Safe!"

In the first half of the sixth inning, Seidou High School finally scored the second point.

The total score becomes 1:2!

"Kuramochi!"

"Kuramochi!"

"As expected of the Cheetah of Seidou High School, the speed is really unusual."

"The first and second Batters are great, it's perfect!!!"

"He's so Cool!!"
