So much like @Naoki_Saten, I’ve managed to win the baseball game as I am moving towards Rin2 and I just have to say… it was absolutely exciting! I don’t think I’ve ever gotten this excited over a minigame in, well, ever! So allow me, if you will, to recount my victory…
I started off by trying out a bunch of formations, and I noticed that for defense, each character had their own strengths and weaknesses. Masato, for example, was terrible in the outfield, constantly fumbling the ball. Kud, on the other hand, was the exact opposite! As for offense, I tried to find a good alternating balance between strong and weak players, so I could steal with a bunt whenever I could. It did take a bit of save scumming to get to that, so I do apologize.
I got to a pretty good start, gaining a 2-1 lead on the first inning. Maintained a strong defense in the next innings, with kud heavily proving her worth, catching what could have been a home run right in mid-air
But by the last inning, terror struck. A home run by the opposing team, no thanks to komari fumbling with the ball! I’m sorry komari, you’re a great girl but baseball just ain’t for you. End of the captain’s turn I was three points behind and things were looking grim, but I bit the bullet and stuck to it.
After both haruka and masato getting decent rounds up to second base, kyousuke managed to get a great hit, bringing me up one point, and putting kyousuke to first base. Komari redeemed herself with a fairly decent sacrifice bunt and kurugaya managed to swoop by pushing kyousuke to third.
Then it was Kengo’s turn… bases were loaded, I was two points behind, and I screamed internally that our only chance was for Kengo to strike a home run! After seeing the message of him getting a fly ball I was ecstatic!! But the opposing team got the ball in time, only after I managed to get the two points I so greatly needed.
With Rin up to bat and Kurugaya on third, I thought to myself “Rin has decent arm strength, and Kurugaya is swift enough to make it seem like she can teleport so…” without hesitation, I spammed that “Steal Home” choice like there was no tomorrow. Rin got a hit, and Kurugaya lived up to her name, stealing home just in time to get me that last point to victory
And so ended my first victory. I had a weird grin plastered on my face and if I wasn’t playing in public, I would jave screamed “Wasshoi! Wasshoi!” with the rest of the team.
Alls well that ends well, and it was a far cry for my first bout of losing with a 20-point deficit
