The first inning is over and the score is 4:0!
Seidou had eight batters take turns in total, who had four hits, and four RBIs.
What the Seidou lineup shows now is the Explosive lineup they are always famous for.
145km Fastball Pitcher who also has a Winning Shot…
Such a pitcher, despite the weakness of control, is still very good overall. With a good defense, it is even more powerful.
When playing games before, he often used his power to play with his opponents in the palm of his hand.
As the representative of Chiba Prefecture, Narita Industrial entered the Kanto Tournament and defeated the opponent in the first round.
It stands to reason that such a team should not be so vulnerable, right?
in the audience.
Two reporters communicate with each other.
"Ito, the Ace of Narita Industrial today, doesn't seem to be in shape."
The pitchers are a very magical creatures. When in the zone, they become unstoppable. Once they are not in the zone, it is very easy to collapse.
Today's Ito is a little frizzy.
Another reporter shook his head.
"Even if he is not in shape, his ball speed and power are still there. Ordinary batters will be under enormous pressure just by standing in the strike zone. But Seidou players, not only are not affected, but can be precise. Hit those balls into the defensive gaps. That's not something a normal batter can do!"
However, in the past few years, Seidou High School has not entered Koshien because of luck. But you have to say that Kataoka is a very good Coach. The players of Seidou High School were trained very well by him.
In the first half of the second inning, Narita Industrial attacked.
"Fourth batter, pitcher, Ito-kun."
Ito is not only a strong pitcher, but also a strong batter on the team.
Fourth Batter and Ace!
Nothing else, just by looking at his title, you can know his status in Narita.
The Catcher, Chris, looked at Ito and his eyes became sharp.
Now in this situation, Seidou has an absolute advantage, and the opponent must be eager to recover the score. Especially when the fourth Batter is on the field…
Ito is an intuitive Batter.
If he's in a hurry to swing, he'll swing even if he's swinging at a Ball or from a bad corner.
'Then use a fishing ball!'
'First, tempt him to swing, use a hard-to-hit ball to score strikes by Fouls, and finally use the Winning Shot to kill him in one go.'
Thinking, Chris gave Tanpa the ball.
On the mound, Tanpa understood Chris's tactics without any obstacle.
'As expected of Chris!'
'Compared with Miyuki, who only thinks about being reckless and constantly squeezing his luck, Chris's ball sequence plans are clearer and he can switch freely.'
'As if, he never considered the situation where he would miss a Pitch.'
Chris put absolute trust in Tanpa.
'Throw it in!'
On the mound, Tanpa felt every cell in his body being mobilized.
'Yes, I will Pitch!'
'And I'll be sure to make it count.'
Whoosh!
The first ball, an inner corner Pitch that shaved the edge of the inner corner and flew toward the glove.
This position makes it difficult for the batter to swing.
Ito was unable to swing the bat.
SNAP!
"STRIKE!"
In the catcher's position, Chris sat with the glove and caught Tanpa's ball in the glove.
"Nice Pitch!"
Saying that he passed the ball back to Tanpa.
On the mound, Tanpa looked at Chris in surprise.
The pitch just now was a Ball, but saved by the guy Chris.
Even now standing on the same field as his battery partner, he couldn't help but sigh.
'This guy, Chris, is different.'
"Nice Pitch, suppress the batter!"
"Come on!"
"That's it, go on."
At the rear, the voice of cheering came from the third-year players.
Tetsu, Isashiki, Masuko, and Kominato, the third-year seniors, each with their heads held high.
In the outfield position, Sawamura glanced at Tanpa in surprise.
He didn't know before that Tanpa could throw such an extreme edge Pitch.
If this is the case, then the next Ace number battle is really interesting.
Seidou's rest area.
Miyuki looked at Chris with bright eyes.
"As expected of Chris-senpai!"
Such mitting skills, he can do it too. But he couldn't be as silent as Chris so that the referee would not have any doubts.
"I really can't see that he has a blank period of a full year!"
On the strike zone.
Ito's face was so ugly that he looked back at the referee.
'Can the ball just now be considered a Strike?'
'If this is the case, then the strike zone can't just stay on the original sideline, and even some edge balls can't be let go.'
Ping!
On the second ball, Ito swung his bat and flew out of bounds.
"FOUL!"
The count, is two Strikes and zero Balls.
The catcher, Chris, lifted his eyelids and glanced at Ito.
Ito looks silly on the outside, but on the second ball, there is a clear hitting strategy.
'This doesn't seem like something that no-brainer batter can do.'
'That being the case, then the last ball, use it!'
Seeing Chris's sign, Tanpa's expression changed. However, out of trust in Chris, he still Pitched.
Whoosh!
The white ball whizzed.
On the strike zone, a murderous aura flashed in Ito's eyes.
'Om!'
The bat swung out, and Ito hit the ball decisively.
Ping!
The bat hit the white ball and smashed it hard.
The ball was hit, but Ito's face was strange.
This ball was not the high drop curve he expected, but an ordinary Straight ball!
Damn!
"leave it to me!"
In the outfield, Sawamura waited under the baseball and took the small white ball into his glove.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
The Ace, Ito, is out!
This is a huge blow to Narita Industrial!
Then in the fifth, Koizumi hit an infield grounder, which was caught by Ryosuke, and sent to first base, and Tetsuya caught it.
"OUT!"
Two Outs, no one on base.
"The sixth Batter, Catcher, Sanjo-kun."
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.
In the second game, the core of Narita Industrial, the fourth, fifth, and sixth, with three ups and three downs.
They were played by Chris.
Of course, such an effect can be achieved, and Chris alone cannot do it.
In this game, at least so far, Tanpa's performance is very eye-catching.
For Seidou's third-year players, this feeling is long gone.
They haven't felt this kind of stability for a long time.
With Chris on the field, they wouldn't worry about the pitcher's sudden collapse.
"It's amazing!"
Sawamura gave Chris a strange look, and then another look at Tanpa.
He doesn't know if it was his delusion, but when he was partnering with Chris, Tanpa acted like a different person.
Chris, like magic, tapped out all of Tanpa's potential.
It's just weird, why didn't he feel that way when he was partnering with Chris?
