"Arata, come on!"

In the stands, Ichiro nervously watched his son running on the court. Just when Arata was still a few positions away from third base, the defensive player on third base had already got the ball and began to rush toward Arata with all his strength.

, he stretched out his glove holding the ball and tried his best to hit Arata.

"Come on!"

In this way, a chasing game started on the court. At this time, Aqian had also reached second base safely. Once the forced base failed, Arata would waste one out. But he would not let this happen if he was on the verge of breaking out.

happened.

Kitayama, who had already rushed off the pitcher's mound, was also anxiously watching the offensive and defensive battle in the direction of third base. At this moment, Kitayama suddenly realized a huge problem. That is, Toyotama's players did not cooperate as smoothly as Yokohama.

, that means that once you are unable to strike out the opponent's batter, it will be the other defensive players who decide the outcome.

"What determines victory is not how long the team's strengths are, but how short its weaknesses are!"

Ushijima-senpai on the sidelines said this for no reason, but Aya Kato on the sidelines was puzzled.

"Senior, what do you want to say..."

"Toyotama is a divided team! The gap between KK and other players is really too big. Maybe when Kitayama was in Yokohama, he never had to worry about defense. Unfortunately, now, his teammates have not let him

Rest assured of strength!”

"senior!"

"Let's not get entangled with KK anymore. Let Feng Yu's sharpest spear and strongest shield go. We just need to deal with the others with all our strength!"

Just as Ushijima finished speaking, Arata easily slid and stepped onto third base one step ahead of his opponent. In an instant, Chiyoda already had two people on base. As long as his opponent was not careful, he would be

It is possible to give Chiyoda two points.

"Ono! Nishijima! Try your best to hit the ball between first base and second base, cutting off the connection between Kitayama and his teammates!"

"clear!"

After receiving Ushijima's new instructions, Ono immediately picked up the bat and walked into the batter's box.

After the fierce battle just now, Arata had already overcome the impact of the interference from Kiyota's foul ball tactics. At this time, he was looking at the direction of the home plate, and the crazy idea of ​​stealing the home base once again ignited in his heart.

Just when Kitayama was about to raise his hand, Arata suddenly started to move. He seemed to be heading towards home plate. At the moment he hesitated, the movement of his hand was slightly deformed, and the ball immediately lost its original shape after being thrown.

It rotated at high speed and began to fly towards the strike zone.

"Crack!"

Seeing that the ball was not coming quickly, Ono took the risk and tried a long hit. When the ball was hit, he saw three Toyotama players on the court starting to hit the ball at the same time.

The wild ball flew high into the outside area. The outfielder in the right field area kept adjusting the direction and tried his best to catch the ball. Unfortunately, before the ball hit the ground, it was too late!

"safe!"

Arata reached home plate first, while Ono's ball was caught by an outfielder. However, before the outfielder could pass the ball back to third base, Aken had already successfully reached base.

After a wonderful sacrifice hit, seeing how vulnerable his defense was, Kitayama angrily took off his gloves and threw them on the ground. His loneliness was matched by Arata's celebration, and Cheng Hui was far away.

The reporters at the office faithfully recorded it with their cameras.

"A wonderful high-flying sacrifice hit. Although the batter was caught by his opponent, Chiyoda scored. Now, Ushijima should know Toyotama's weakness!"

After Miyazawa Eiji said this, he suddenly stood up. Majiang on the side saw him and asked with some confusion:

"Odou-san, where are you going?"

"I'll take you back! Didn't you say that you still have work matters to deal with later, and you'll leave after a while?"

"But... Arata's side..."

"Don't worry! With Ushijima's ability, he will not give the opponent another chance. Toyotama's weakness was exposed too early, but Furuta Arata's ability to steal bases is indeed very strong, ah... I really hope this kid

You can join Baystar! I said, can’t you think of another way?”

…

Majiang just rolled her eyes at her father's feeble request. But after they left, the progress of the game turned out to be one-sided in Chiyoda's direction just as Supervisor Miyazawa expected.

Under Chiyoda's tactics of constantly using bunts to get on base, Kitayama could no longer throw high-quality pitches. Especially when someone was on base, Kitayama even had to deal with two or three people at the same time, both to prevent being

A man steals a base and has to prevent his opponent from hitting a long hit, but his teammates can do little to help him.

As for Toyotama's strong hit Kiyota, Arata used corner kicks again and again to get on base. However, under the tight defense of Arata and his teammates, Kiyota was always hit after he reached base. Now it was considered his

His striking skills are incredible, but he can't make any waste.

When the game entered the second half of the ninth inning, the score was finally fixed at 7:3. In Chiyoda's rest area and support area, everyone could no longer restrain their anticipation and began to cheer for the upcoming victory.

"out!"

As the umpire ruled that the last batter of Shogo Toyotama was out, the third base dugout suddenly erupted in jubilation. On the field, Kiyota and Kitayama collapsed on the infield, breathing heavily.

Covering his face with his hands, he couldn't bear to look at the result of this game.

They lost this game and had nothing to say! Kitayama knew that although he and Kiyota left Yokohama, they never felt that they belonged to Toyotama Shoko. No matter which team they chose, it was just a matter of life.

It's just a springboard. The KK combination, which has no sense of belonging to Toyotama, is destined to be dragged down by its teammates and strangled by the concerted efforts of its opponents.

"Thanks for the advice!"

After the game, players from both sides came to home plate as usual and saluted each other to express their gratitude. Arata, on the other hand, sincerely thanked Kiyota of the other team for teaching him a valuable lesson with a foul ball.

"Qingtian-san, thank you so much for just now. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known that we could still play wild ball like this!"

Arata caught up with Kiyota who was about to leave, suddenly bowed and saluted, and then said something sincerely.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Eh? No...I..."

"Forget it, who made us the losers? You are the loser and you have no right to blame the winner!"

"No, I'm not...I just..."

"Ha, I really can't stand playing with a bunch of country bumpkins! It would be great if we were still in Yokohama! It's a pity that Kitayama and I were replaced by more powerful guys. We can only blame our own skills for not being as good as others!"

"A more powerful guy?"
