The original intention of the diamond ace

It's Game 2 of the World Series, and the Cardinals are not doing very well, trailing 3-[-]. In seven games with four wins, the Cardinals are fighting with their backs.

Alas, I hope he won't be too affected by the pressure.

At first the Cardinals defended first, but unfortunately they lost points soon, but the Rangers were not happy for long, and reversed the two-point shot one by one.All of a sudden, the whole stadium jumped up, and the excited people around made me very novel. Looking at the stadium from a different perspective, there was a rare sense of relaxation.

Unlike my mood, this game was played very hot from the beginning.

1:0

1:2

2:2

3:2

3:3

4:3

…………

From the looks of the score, the two sides played back and forth, but everyone could tell that the Cardinals were in a bad situation.

The basic Rangers have been playing against the Cardinals.Outside of the first inning, the Cardinals didn't have a single decent hit.

Although the pressure on the rangers' pitchers is not small, and several hitters of the cardinals are favored by everyone, but the cardinals have never been able to suppress the opponent's line. It seems that everyone on the rangers side has a chance to hit. .

As a result, the defensive pressure was quite high, and several people were in a bad state because of this. There were three defensive errors in the four rounds.

In such a situation, the audience is also quite nervous, and a good number of goals can cause cheers.

In the fourth game, the coaches on both sides also fought a little psychological warfare.

Four innings of Rangers came up with two hits in a row, no outs, and a third base.

Then six bats hit a double play, two outs and three bases.

The Rangers coach called the bullpen to warm up, pretending to switch pitches in the next inning, and the nine batters were going to be hit by the next generation.

But the catcher faced seven bats and decided to report directly.At this time, the Cardinals coach came up and explained a few words to the shooter.The catcher directly reported eight bats, and sure enough, the pitcher hit nine bats. Facing this pitcher with a batting average of 0.00, the Cardinals easily won the last out and switched offense and defense.

Seeing that my cheap father was the first one to come up to hit, I couldn't help but bend the corners of my mouth: He hasn't hit yet today, if his batting rate has been so bleak, I don't know if he will be embarrassed to go back.

…………

"Ah! Why did you get kicked out again?" I couldn't help shouting out with the people next to me.

In the sixth inning, relying on the opponent's four bad pitchers to squeeze back a point, the Cardinals finally tied.

In the seventh inning, the Rangers came up with two positive shots, and then scored another point. The faces of the people around them were ugly.

Alas, it is difficult but not impossible to recover three points in the normal three rounds, but today the line is so misfired, and the opponent's club is still so hot, if you don't recover one or two points in the second half of the round, this game is really difficult to play up.

…………

Alas, three ups and three downs.

Fortunately, the Cardinals also stabilized in the eighth game, and my tense nerves relaxed a little.

I just had a hard time in the bottom of the eighth inning when the first hitter was easy out.

Suddenly, "Boom!" Five bats hit a home run, and the whole stadium seemed to be bombarded. The people who were quiet just now yelled out together.

Well, there is hope, there is hope.

Then, as if stimulated, he hit three hits at once.With two outs and a full base, next... is Oda.

I looked at him worriedly, he hasn't played out today, in case the great opportunity is missed...

Before he could react, he was out again.

I smiled wryly, I should find a chance to comfort him when I go back.

Very good, the first half of the nine innings went without a loss, and there is still a chance in the second half.

One out.There should still be a chance.

On base!

Four bad!The whole stadium cheered, and no one thought they would lose.

After three strikes, everyone was quiet for a while, but they continued to call the name of the next freese.

Two is out, is there still a chance?

Swinging and missing, two good and one bad, the Rangers are only one strike away from the World Series championship.

Alas - I looked at the court with regret, and then at the blurred figures on the bench.

"It's hit! The ball flies far away!" I jumped up.

"This ball is far away, will you catch it!"

"No catch, second base runner back!"

"The first base runner is back! And our hitter freese hit third base! Tie!" I yelled, and everyone was yelling and jumping.

"It's unbelievable, one out, one strike. How close the Rangers were to the title, how far away it is now."

"Oh my god, it's amazing! The Cardinals survived the crisis and ushered in a huge opportunity. Let's see what happens to the Rangers bench."

"This ball! Right field direction, catch and kill."

During the exchange of offense and defense, everyone was still immersed in the miraculous triple hit just now. Everyone was excitedly talking to the people next to them, laughing happily, and relaxing and eating.

"Two points!" I was stunned, why suddenly.

"The Rangers are leading for the fifth time in the game, which is really unexpected."

"Yeah, Hamilton hit his first home run of the playoffs this year. The whole game was so fast, and he was ahead again. This home run is probably the game-ending hit."

"Three outs, change!" Following the referee's judgment, the second half of the tenth inning ushered in exactly the same situation as the ninth inning.

No, the situation is even worse. Next is eight or nine sticks. Will the miracle happen twice in a row?

Almost all of them are not very confident.Everyone looked at the stadium with serious faces, only a few Rangers fans and benches were still cheering for their key man.

"Bang!" I looked at the pitcher who stepped on the base bag and took off his protective gear with some surprise.I can still understand the eight-bat hit, and the nine-bat pitcher can also hit a left field hit, which is very powerful. Are all the National League pitchers so strong? (ps: I seem to have forgotten to mention that the setting is that the protagonist was in the Los Angeles Angels in his previous life and belonged to the American League. The American League implements a proxy system, and pitchers hardly hit.)

"Successful sacrifice hit, runner up to second and third, one out."

"Roll the ball toward third base, pass to first base for a block, and the third base runner returns to home plate."

"It seems that the Rangers just want to grab the second number of outs steadily, and one point can be given away."

"The main reason is that Pujols will be the next batter. Maybe I want to leave the first base for him. After all, there is no need to play against him at this time." Sure enough, the next batter is Berkman, who has performed outstandingly in this game.

"It's two good and one bad, and it's one good goal away from winning. Let's see if the Rangers can seize this opportunity."

"Center field direction! Double hit!"

"It's a tie again! It's also two outs, there are people on the first and third bases, and the crisis has returned to the Rangers. Can the Cardinals seize this opportunity?"

I feel like I'm going crazy, everybody's going crazy, whether it's the Rangers who can't believe it, or the Cardinals who've come back from the wall again, or the fans on both sides.

"Three outs!"

"This game really proved that sentence: the game is not over until the last number of outs."

"The Cardinals successfully defended the eleventh round. This round is different from the previous round. This time the Cardinals ushered in the second half of the offense with a tie." I had a faint thought in my heart: this round may be over.

"The first hitter in this inning was Freese. In the second half of the ninth inning, he hit a triple and pulled the Cardinals back from the cliff. I don't know if he will surprise us this time. .”

"Full number of balls."

I stared closely at the shooters and hitters in the distance, breathing lightly.It's now, it's now.

"Bang!"

"The outside world."

I take a breath.

"Bang!"

"The direction of the center field! This ball flies high, will it go out?" Everyone looked at the small ball flying in the air.

"Go out! A blow from this young player, game over!"

The court was jubilant, and I sat down quietly.

Looking at the strange and familiar excitement and frustration, I found that I was still reluctant, I couldn't let it go at all, and wanted to try again.

I don't know if the ending will be the same, but sometimes there is no need to worry so much, like this game, I felt that it was over several times, who knew that fate would turn to that fork?

I sent Oda a message and turned around and went home.
