No Out, runner at first base!
After Yuuki was Walked, the atmosphere at the field suddenly became strange.
The countermeasures adopted by Seihou High School were really confusing for a while.
"If no one is on base, and Yuuki is Walked. Could it be that the battery is planning to always Walk him to the base?"
Tokyo, in front of a screen. Harada Masatoshi, the former captain of the Inajitsu Baseball Team, said with a frown.
Besides him, there are several third-year players of the original Inajitsu baseball team. Like Harada, they all retired from the baseball team. Now Narumiya and his team run the baseball team, and it has nothing to do with them.
But this does not prevent them from paying attention to this year's Koshien, and to the Seidou High School who defeated them. How far could they go?
To be honest, although Seidou High School defeated them and made them unhappy, they still hoped that Seidou High School could crush their opponents all the way and win the Championship.
Otherwise, as losers, they would be even more frustrated.
Losing to the National Champion is easier to accept than losing to a nobody.
"If that's the case, then after this game, will Yuuki become famous?"
"Probably not. No matter what, Seihou High School is also…"
"If you think about it carefully, it's not impossible. If you have to walk and form in this situation, at this rate, it's hard to imagine that they would choose to go head-to-head with Yuuki when there are runners on the base, or there are Outs in the count."
None of these guys is stupid. Although they don't know why Akutsu did this? But looking at his approach, many people across the country have clearly understood his thoughts.
Not to mention, Seidou's Coach, who is currently facing off against Seihou High School on the field.
Coach Kataoka's eyes sank a little. The actions of Seihou High School obviously exceeded his previous expectations.
After a little pondering, he signaled the batters and runners on the field.
On the pitcher's mound, Akutsu could see the movements of Coach Kataoka very clearly, but he did not react.
When he was about to pitch, Yuuki quietly left first base and moved toward second base.
This scene did not escape the eyes of Hirahara, the Catcher of Seihou High School.
"First base!"
He calmly gave a sign to Akutsu on the pitcher's mound.
The first base has a change!
As for how? Hirahara is not worried, Akutsu will deal with it by himself.
On the pitcher's mound, Akutsu's performance was the same as before, whether it was making preparations, opening his stance, raising his legs and making his stride, shifting his center of gravity, and throwing the ball.
His movements were all the same as before.
Just as he opened up and was about to throw the ball, Yuuki suddenly moved, and he ran quickly to second base.
"STEAL!"
In the dugout of Seihou High School, a rough voice said.
Although Akutsu's ball speed is not as fast as that of a monster at the level of Furuya, his ball speed is not slow at all, with a full 140 km/h. (87 mph.)
Although Hirahara Rei doesn't seem to have a strong presence, there is no problem with his skills as a catcher, and he is a very solid type.
Do they think that they can steal bases from under their noses?
Are they crazy?
Just under their disbelieving gaze, Isashiki Jun, who was originally standing still on the strike zone, suddenly moved!
"Don't think for once that this is a one-man show!"
Ping!
The white ball was hit and bounced off the ground. Isashiki took this opportunity to run to first base quickly.
"No, it's hit and run!"
Everyone was surprised, and their voices were full of disbelief. Seidou High School's hit-and-run cooperation is not to mention how dazzling it is, the most important thing is that he is very unexpected.
The result is that Tetsuya has already started to rush ahead, how can Isashiki still swing the ball and hit the ball? If this is in case of a high fly, or the Pitch is directly caught by someone…
The consequences would be unimaginable.
But the result now is that the baseball bounces off the ground. It's hard to say whether Isashiki can take the opportunity to hit the base.
But it should be no problem for Tetsuya to reach second base safely.
"Something is wrong!"
The vast majority of people at the stadium believed that it was a 9/10 to get to second base safely.
But right now, Yuuki Tetsuya was halfway to the base, and Akutsu, who had just thrown the ball, suddenly appeared right in front of the rebounding baseball.
SNAP!
He caught the ball with one hand and sent it straight to second base.
SNAP!
The shortstop, who was already on second base, caught the ball and passed it to first base.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
"OUT!!"
Simple and neat.
Almost by an inch, Seidou High School's aggressive hit-and-run tactics turned into a double play.
In the blink of an eye, a good offensive opportunity turned into two Outs, with no one on base.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
Coach Kataoka was very anxious. To be honest, he really did not expect that his carefully arranged tactics would be seen through.
Tactics must be seen through, otherwise, how can the opponent predict the direction of the baseball falling and design a double play?
Ping!
"OUT!!"
In the second round of the Clean-up of Seidou High School, there was also no performance, and they were solved.
The evenly contested game continues.
In the first half of the fifth inning, Seihou High School attacked.
"Fifth Batter, catcher, Hirahara-kun."
On the field, Hirahara is playing against Sawamura and Chris.
In the dugout of Seihou High School.
The voice of Coach Nishidera changed his tone to worry and anger.
"What did you say?"
He stared at Akutsu in a stunned manner, and it felt as if he was going to swallow Akutsu alive.
"I can't do anything about this game. If I insist on throwing until the end of the ninth inning, I have to rest it in the middle. Let's start from the next inning and replace me until the end of the second batter of Seidou High School."
In such a fierce Pitching Duel, his own Ace pitcher actually took the initiative to take a step back.
This made Coach Nishidera's face extremely ugly. To be honest, if this wasn't the stadium of Koshien. If it wasn't more than a dozen TV stations were broadcasting live, and there were tens of thousands of viewers in front of the TV.
Nishidera might have done something he was not going to regret.
What kind of nonsense is this bastard talking about, how can the Ace pitcher be replaced right now?
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course, I know that."
Akutsu's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.
"You're the Ace of our team, and once you're substituted, you can't go back to the field, you know?"
"You can replace me somewhere else."
"But you can't do anything other than pitching on the mound. Whether it's infield or outfield, as long as you stand there, there will be a huge loophole."
"It's easy to handle, as long as you don't let the other side hit the ball towards me."
"Can you give me a good reason?"
"I'm tired and need to rest."
