The original intention of the diamond ace

As many people expected, the game passed quickly.

The game started at ten o'clock, and it was already the sixth inning at eleven o'clock, but the game had just begun.

There are two neat rows of zeros on the tall scoreboard.

"Come on! Sawamura!! Two out, two out!"

"Good job, Sawamura!"

"Shoot one! It's time to go out!!"

"Come on!"

…………

The players of both teams cheered loudly for their teammates on the field, but unfortunately it didn't go as they expected, the same two zeros in the seventh game.

Both Hongo and Sawamura played stably and frighteningly, except that there were more beads of sweat on their foreheads, which was no different from the beginning.At this time, none of them thought about the future development.

…………

Strong pitchers always seem to have a very easy game, and the hitters on both sides are almost forced to do nothing against each other's pitchers. After another 10 minutes, the game came to the ninth inning with 0:0.

"Although I guessed this development, I really didn't expect that both sides have failed to score—"

"However, the aces of these two teams are very strong. This trend is still predictable, but after nine rounds, the trend of the game should change."

"Oh? I'm really curious, can I tell you about it, Suye-kun."

"The main reason is that as long as one side leads by one point after the game, the game is over. If you want the game to last forever, this is a test of the player's ability to seize opportunities."

He paused, "Besides, the pitchers are basically exhausted physically and mentally since the game has progressed. After all, a normal game will end in the ninth inning, and pitchers will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable facing the game after the ninth inning. As a result, when there are mistakes, there will be more loopholes at this time.”

"It's no wonder that the pitchers I saw before will be a little unstable when facing the next game. I also know a little knowledge, thank you Suye for sharing."

…………

At this time, on the court, "out!" After throwing the last ball, Hongo exhaled without a trace, turned and returned to the rest area.

"Oh! Both sides failed to break through the opponent's defense in the ninth inning. Both sides failed to score. The game entered an overtime!"

Hearing this, Qingdao didn't feel relieved, but pursed his lips tightly.

'They are slowly starting to get familiar with Sawamura's ball. Although the number ball can still work now, but if it can't end the game, the longer it delays, the worse it will be for us.Moreover, Sawamura's number of balls is almost 120. Although the number of balls used by the opponent will not be less than ours, we can't wait for the opponent to expose his weaknesses. Miyuki frowned slightly, looking calmly at the opposite bench area.

Tenth inning.

The hitters knew more about Sawamura's ball path than Miyuki expected. They aimed at Sawamura's straight ball, first a single, and then the two hitters were out, but in this gap, the runners also Hit third base.

Sawamura's sweat slid down to the side of the eyes, and a little bit got into the eyes, and immediately felt a little numb and itchy.

He touched the beads of sweat with his sleeve indifferently, looked at the runner on third base, then looked back at home plate, and licked his mouth.

Miyuki made a signal with a serious face, "Leave the runner on third base to me. Don't worry, I won't let him run back easily. Just use this ball to deal with this hitter." '

At the bench seat, Director Kataoka stepped up the steps and gestured a few times. The players in the infield touched the brim of their hats seriously, took a few steps forward, and secretly tensed their backs.

At this time, the supervisor of Jumoda took a step forward and gestured to the batter. He touched the brim of his hat slightly, pressed down on the brim of the hat again, stepped on the ground, and set up the bat.

"Pong!" To everyone's surprise, Jumoda did not choose to force points at this time, but chose to let the players fight freely, which is a bolder decision, but what makes people's hearts sink is that their choice is Yes.

"Double hit!"

"At the tenth inning of the game, one side finally scored!"

"This point almost pushed Qingdao to the edge of a cliff—"

"Yeah, after all, this point was scored in an overtime. If this point is not recovered in the second half, the game will be over."

"Alas—it happens that the opponent's pitcher's performance is still so good. It seems that Qingdao is really in danger this time. Let's look forward to the next development together."

At this time, on the side of Qingdao.

My heart sank, I don't need anyone to analyze, everyone understands the current situation, in the ninth inning, Hongo's state was indeed not as good as the start, but he could still throw a few more innings, but he was not a slow player The situation of recovering the score slowly.

Sudden! "Two out!" Sawamura yelled from the mound, looking at the infielders behind him. "Two out!"

The field players looked at his slightly pale lips and sweaty forehead, and gritted their teeth, "Second out!"

"Let's deal with the next hitter!"

"Let him call, I will catch it!!"

"Sawamura, leave it to me!"

…………

Having successfully dealt with the next hitter, Sawamura picked up the towel and sat on the chair. I brought him a glass of water, "Senior, how are you doing?"

"No problem!" He immediately said loudly, "You don't need to come!"

I smiled helplessly, never thought about it.

In the field at this time.

Hongo tried to throw a few balls and stepped on the small dirt pit under his feet. 'Now leading by one point, that is the end of the game, the game is over? '

"start!"

To everyone's surprise, Hakushu caught a slightly high straight ball from Hongo and successfully reached first base.

The catcher immediately stood up and raised his hand as a signal, telling Hongo not to worry about it and concentrate on dealing with the next hitter.

Hongo lowered his head and kicked the dirt on the pitching mound hard. He looked up at home plate, still expressionless, but his hands behind his back were tightened.

The catcher smiled helplessly, 'I got angry all of a sudden, but it's okay. '

"Pong!"

'What? ! ' Immediately the catcher stood up, startled and angry.

"Four well-timed triples!"

"It's a pity - I almost went out, so the game can end directly."

"However, no one is out now, and there are people on third base. It is still an opportunity for Qingdao to score more points."

But Hongo, who was completely angry, became quite good, and the next hitter was struck out without any gaps.

Although there were some ups and downs in this round, it still managed to maintain a rather dangerous balance.

No. 11 innings.

Sawamura's state began to become unstable, not only his lips, but now even his face began to turn a little pale.Although the hitter was on the base, he cut off the batting line in time and passed the fielding of this inning.

In the second half of the game, Jumoda is here.

The supervisor looked at Hongo, "The number of pitches is very dangerous now, but it can't be changed. It is estimated that the game can't be decided yet." '

Hongo maintained the state of the last inning, but still failed to hit base.

Neither side could score in this game.
