No outs, runners on First and Second Base.
Two consecutive batters walked to base.
However, the boys of Seido High School Baseball Team couldn't feel happy at all.
What the opponent did was too deliberate; so deliberate that they could see through their true intentions at a glance.
It was nothing more than feeling that Zhang Han and Yuuki were too threatening, and they didn't dare to confront them directly in this situation.
They were afraid of losing runs and then affecting their game rhythm.
Of course.
They couldn't mock Shonan for being timid and cowardly just because of this.
One must know that walking batters also requires immense courage.
If the Shonan Gakuen players didn't have extremely high confidence in their own strength, believing that as long as they walked those two, they would have a very high probability of preserving the score, they wouldn't have done it.
As a result, the situation faced by the remaining batters of Seido High School Baseball Team completely changed.
All the pressure on Seido High School Baseball Team was placed on them.
Before, Zhang Han and Yuuki had never disappointed them.
How could they bear to disappoint those two guys?
Next to step up to the batter's box was the Fifth Batter of Seido High School Baseball Team, Isashiki Jun.
As soon as he stepped into the batter's box, he felt the strong malice of the Shonan Gakuen players towards him.
No outs, runners on First and Second Base.
The two most reliable sluggers in Seido High School Baseball Team were already on base.
The remaining players naturally felt immense pressure.
The Shonan players were not doing any better.
Facing a situation with no outs and runners on First and Second Base, if they were even slightly careless and a batter from Seido High School Baseball Team got a hit, the score would be rewritten again.
And they now only had one last offensive opportunity.
It must be said that when the Shonan Gakuen players walked Zhang Han and Yuuki, they were walking a tightrope.
By now, they had reached the middle of the tightrope.
Retreating was impossible; they could only grit their teeth and move forward.
As for whether the outcome after moving forward would be good or bad?
The Shonan Gakuen players actually had no idea.
But they had no way out and could only grit their teeth and move forward.
Isashiki Jun glared at the pitcher's mound, grimacing.
Zhang Han and Yuuki had already done very well before, and they couldn't push all the responsibility onto those two anymore.
"It's our time to perform!"
Isashiki Jun understood this very well.
He concentrated with 120% of his attention, wanting to hit this pitch out.
"Ping!"
Spotting the incoming baseball, Isashiki Jun decisively hit it.
The baseball flew directly over the First Baseman's head, looking like it would land behind the First Baseman.
Opportunity!
Zhang Han and Yuuki were both ready to steal a base.
However, after the baseball drew a large arc in the sky, it fell straight down.
And beneath the ball's landing spot, a figure seemed to have been waiting there already.
"The outfielder, how could he be behind the First Baseman, and it's still..."
Zhang Han and Yuuki stopped in unison.
They felt that this ball should be caught.
If the ball was caught, their advance would be meaningless and would instead create danger.
"Pop!"
But to their surprise, the baseball was not caught in the Shonan outfielder's glove immediately; instead, it bounced after hitting the ground.
This was not good news for Seido High School Baseball Team.
Zhang Han and Yuuki could only grit their teeth and advance.
They had to hand over the base to the person behind them.
This position was too clever.
Zhang Han even suspected that the Shonan Gakuen outfielder didn't fail to catch the ball.
Instead, he deliberately let the baseball drop.
Because he noticed in advance that Zhang Han and Yuuki hadn't moved, he took a bold risk.
Of course, this was just Zhang Han's own guess; he couldn't provide any valid evidence.
Eventually, the baseball was first thrown to Second Base, and then from Second Base to First Base.
Third Base was too far, and Zhang Han narrowly escaped.
He successfully ran to Third Base.
Zhang Han made it to Third Base, but his two teammates weren't so lucky.
Yuuki and Jun were out in a double play.
The favorable situation of no outs and runners on First and Second Base, in an instant, turned into two outs, runner on Third Base.
In just one pitch, the situation on the field underwent a drastic change.
In the stands, the supporters of Seido High School Baseball Team were completely dumbfounded at this moment.
They truly didn't know how to judge the current situation anymore.
It was complicated, very, very complicated.
Even in their hearts, a hint of worry arose.
Yuuki and Isashiki Jun left the field and returned to the dugout.
Chris, waiting in the batter's box, was already ready and had stepped up.
This current situation was a huge test for Seido High School Baseball Team.
The same was true for Chris.
When Miyuki was on the field, everyone didn't notice, but once he left the field, the players of Seido High School Baseball Team always felt something was missing.
Especially at this moment.
One must know that with a runner on Third Base, Miyuki Kazuya's eyes were different.
If he encountered such an opportunity, he couldn't say 100%, but with an 80-90% probability, he should be able to score a run.
His batting average with runners on base was simply too terrifying.
Now that Miyuki was off the field, Chris took his place.
If Chris couldn't get a hit, no matter how well he performed before, the teammates of Seido High School Baseball Team would still feel something was lacking.
Only if he gets a hit and helps Seido High School Baseball Team score this go-ahead run would he truly make up for his previous eight months of absence and be able to openly compete with Miyuki Kazuya for the team's starting catcher position.
Almost everyone at Seido was concerned about Chris's performance.
Chris himself, on the other hand, wasn't thinking that much at this moment.
His previous performance had already proven himself and given himself an account.
By now, Chris was no longer thinking about his competition with Miyuki for the catcher position.
All his attention was on the opponent; he was wholeheartedly enjoying this game.
"Whoosh!"
Aoki threw with all his might.
The man who had already thrown over a hundred pitches showed no signs of slowing down his pitching speed.
Chris, watching the baseball fly towards him, also swung his bat without hesitation.
"Ping!"
After the white ball was struck, it flew far away.
The Shonan Gakuen fielder desperately lunged for the ball but failed to touch it.
The baseball was hit solidly.
Zhang Han, with this hit, ran directly back to home plate.
"Safe!"
8:7!
Seido High School Baseball Team took the lead again.
