Chapter 6: Tsk, no chance!

In the catcher's position.

The catcher of Konan High School looked at the pitcher's mound with a headache.

'Torajiro's old problem appeared again.'

'And it has to be now of all the time!'

This is Koshien and the opponent is also the top tyrant in the country, and any mistakes are not allowed.

'You must cheer yourself up, Torajiro.'

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School, Sawamura felt like he had seen something incredible something incredible!

"Is the opponent's Ace such a gutless guy?"

How is this possible?

The Ace pitcher of the Giants, even if he doesn't have a superb talent, his skills and guts must have been honed to the peak!

They may not be very strong, but they are definitely very tough.

It was the first time Sawamura had met an Ace pitcher like Torajiro who shivered with fright just after the game started.

"Interesting!"

"Konan High School didn't go to Koshien on purpose to give us wins, right?" Sawamura wondered.

In fact, if the players of Konan High School lost a lot of points in the first inning, their game could have ended early.

Although he only briefly read the information of the Batters in Konan High School before.

Their level is really high!

Even Sawamura can't guarantee that he will be able to suppress such a violent line-up all the time.

But he is absolutely confident that he can control the loss of points to the minimum.

But If Konan High School did not survive the first inning, Sawamura even thought that he would be sent to the outfield to rest.

Ping!

While Sawamura was chatting with Chris and Miyuki, the situation on the field changed.

Ryosuke and Kuramochi used hit-and-run tactics.

The ball was hit and passed through the side of the first baseman of Konan High School.

The ball was hit very skillfully. The first baseman of Konan High School hesitantly jumped to catch it, but he was unable to stop the baseball from flying away from him.

A long hit!

Although Kominato Ryosuke's own strength is not very high, he hit the ball to the outfield with no problem.

The outfielder caught the ball early, but the long hit is still a long hit.

After the ball was hit, Kuramochi, who had started running ahead of time, went directly over the second base and ran to the third base.

Kominato Ryosuke stayed at first base.

No Out, runner on first and third base.

It went well!

At the beginning of the game, the players of Seidou High School scored consecutive hits, creating a very favorable scoring opportunity.

"Third Batter, Center, Isashiki-kun."

In this game, the third batter of Seidou High School was Isashiki Jun.

Although in the West Tokyo final, Sawamura did a very good job in the third hole. However, Coach Kataoka did not fix him in the position of third batter.

"Jun-san, Hit a home run!"

"Roar, Seidou's Spitz."

"This is a great opportunity! Don't embarrass your position, the third batter!!"

In the stands, many fans came from Tokyo to Koshien to watch the Seidou High School game.

In the stands, they cheered for Isashiki Jun.

In a stadium with tens of thousands of people, cheering sounds cannot be heard!

The brass band playing the walking song is the only thing that can be heard!

"I'm not a Spitz!"

But Isashiki himself only cared about the nickname given to him by the audience.

No one knows how he even heard these words in a crowded environment of tens of thousands of people.

Ping!

When the white ball came flying, Isashiki slammed it out directly.

The ball was not played very well and landed right in front of the second baseman.

'Done!'

Seeing this hit by Isashiki, all the players of Seidou High School felt.

Unexpectedly, a 'double play' appeared right now.

Now Ryosuke is at first base, and when the ball lands, he is forced to run to second base.

And Isashiki, after the ball is hit, as a batter, he must also run to the first base.

After the second baseman of Konan High School caught the ball, he could step on the second base's bag and pass the ball to the first base.

Because Kominato Ryosuke is forced to run to the base, as long as any fielder from Konan High School holds the ball in his Mitt, he can use any part of his body to capture the base in advance.

Then Ryosuke will be solved and Out.

Moreover, when the ball is passed to first base, as long as Isashiki has not stepped on the first base in advance, will Also counted as an Out.

This is what is called double play!

It is also the most likely double-play in baseball games.

When Isashiki didn't hit the ball well and hit the front of the second baseman directly, all the players in the rest area of ​​Seidou High School felt really bad.

'So unlucky!'

Right now, there was a double play. With the defensive strength of the top Giants like Konan High School, it was very easy for them to win the double play.

At third base, Kuramochi Yoichi also realized the seriousness of the problem.

'Not good!'

If the opponent can successfully complete the double play, wouldn't he, the third base runner, become a decoration?

With two Outs and, a runner at third base, the people from Konan High School didn't need to care about him at all, just deal with the batter directly. As long as the batter has no way to go to first base, he is a runner on third base.

Then some people have to ask, isn't the fourth batter is Yuuki?

When a runner at third base, will the battery of Konan go head-to-head with the fourth batter of Seidou High School?

Players from Konan High School, as long as there is a brain in their minds, will never do this. They can completely face off with the fifth or even the sixth team after they Walk Yuuki.

Of course, there is no guarantee that Konan High School will be able to hold on to it and not lose points.

But what does it matter?

Things on the field are not 100% at all, and what Konan High School has to do is not 100% defending Seidou High School's offense, as long as they minimize their own risks.

This is what a good team does!

When these thoughts appeared in Kuramochi's mind, his first thought was that he absolutely couldn't stand idly by.

Since the opponent is now wholeheartedly wanting to double play, why not take this opportunity to directly steal the home plate?

Risk is sure to exist.

But as long as it works well, it's a good opportunity to score.

With the pitching of Sawamura, even if it is only one point ahead, it will definitely make the opponent feel desperate.

With an idea in mind, Kuramochi quietly moved to home plate.

Right now, the second baseman of Konan High School had already caught the ball.

After catching the ball, the first thing he did was set his sights on third base.

In such an intense game, he didn't get lost, forgetting that there were runners at third base at Seidou High School.

Tsk, no chance!

Kuramochi felt a little reluctant, but he did not continue to move.
