Chapter Forty-Nine: Doing Things!
Two outs, two or three bases.
The scoring opportunities of Tianlongsi Middle School are still not small. But compared with before, there is no longer that kind of rubbing momentum.
Now, only their fifth batter hits a hit. They can get the score.
"Captain, it's up to you!"
"Let the hillbillies in Akagi have a good look at what is the national standard."
"Let's get out~"
After Hirata Station went to the strike zone, the reaction was very strong in the cowshed of Tenryuji Middle School. It can be seen that they trust Hirata's strength very much, and this trust is even more than their fourth base, Hirahara.
Main third baseman, captain.
Not to mention anything else, just looking at Hirata's position in Tenryuji Middle School, it is not difficult to see what kind of influence this player has in Tenryuji.
"Then I'll have to deal with you!"
Sawamura on the pitcher's hill knows very well how dangerous it is to let such a player perform. In order to win, he must take a strong stance and take out all the fighters of the Tenryu Temple.
Only in this way can Akagi, who is on the weak side, have a chance to argue with Tenryu Temple. If you can't contain the loss of points, then the outcome of the game can be predicted in advance.
"Good shot!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
In the strike zone, although Hirata was extremely careful, he couldn't help but fall into Sawamura's pitching rhythm, and after only two balls, he fell behind in ball count.
The number of balls, two good and zero bad, as long as the ball falls into the good ball belt, then Hirata must play.
"Whoosh!"
Without taking a breath, Sawamura's third goal came.
At this time, what Hirata said to him suddenly appeared in Hirata's mind.
"This pitcher's pitching is very weird, and when you look at it from the strike zone, you feel like the ball is much faster."
"Ping!"
When the thought came out, Hirata waved the bat subconsciously ahead of time, but the ball was hit high and flew out and landed in front of the pitcher, and Sawamura opened his gloves and steadily picked the ball into his gloves.
"Smack!"
"Out !!"
As soon as he was out, there was a huge crisis in the first and third bases, and with the support of the strange defensive formation of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, he passed it safely.
"Akagi! Come on!!! ”
"Knock knock, knock knock~"
"Akagi, come on!!"
The strange garrison formation perfectly contained the attack of Tianlongsi Middle School. The friends of the Red Heart Brotherhood, under the leadership of Obayashi and Kobayashi, frantically shouted slogans and cheered for Akagi.
It feels like the fledgling Akagi Middle School is not inferior to the national powerhouse Tianlong Temple. At the very least, the momentum of the cheerleaders is no worse than that of Tianlongsi Middle School.
"O~"
"Well done, Sawamura."
"Xiao Rong~"
The friends are also very excited, they have never eaten pork, and they have never seen a pig go. Although their baseball skills have not yet been honed, they already know a little bit about baseball.
As soon as he was out, when there were people on the first and third bases, Akagi's friends looked calm, but in fact, their nervous hearts were about to jump out.
The weakness of Akagi's garrison can be seen by everyone, so there is no need to say much about this. In fact, in addition to the garrison, Akagi also has a weakness, which is also very obvious. That is, the ability to play in tandem is not strong.
The real ones with striking strength are only Sawamura, Fengxiang, and Oda. But Oda's striking strength is not the top in Nagano. Sawamura and Fengxiang's striking strength is not weak, but it is not so strong that it is unmatched.
Akagi's problem is not just the garrison, but also the blow.
Once the score is stretched to a certain extent, Akagi will not be able to recover at all. Just like in the last game, Nagano Metropolitan High School had a lead over Akagi not by two points, but by three.
That last week, Akagi was already eliminated!
This is clear to all the friends, not to mention the actual person in charge of the team, Sawamura.
Therefore, in response to this, when attacking, Sawamura also made special arrangements.
In the second half of the first inning, Akagi Middle School attacked.
"First batter, pitcher, Sawamura-san."
The pitcher played the first bat, although before the game, the people of Tenryuji saw the list that Akagi gave them. But when they saw Sawamura standing on the strike zone first, they still had a feeling of being provoked.
Actually, there's nothing to say.,Deliberately put Sawamura in the first stick.,You have to say that Akagi didn't want to do something.,Kill the people of Tenryu Temple.,They don't believe it.。
It's just that Sawamura is not a particularly fast player, and even if he is in the first bat, what can Akagi do?
When he can't hit base, does he want to rely on a head-to-head duel to get a hit from Nanami's hands?
Naive!
Although Sawamura's pitching strength is also very strong, judging from the players of Tenryuji, he is still far from Nanami Haruka. That's not all, the most important thing is that Sawamura's striking power is nowhere near as impressive as his pitching.
Why did he think he could take a hitter from Haruka Nanami?
A feeling of unconvincing condensed in the chests of the Tenryu Temple players, and they couldn't wait to slap Sawamura in the face.
"Kill the beaters, Nanami."
"Give him some color."
The players of Tenryuji began to put pressure on Sawamura.
On the pitcher's mound, Nanami Haruka smiled lightly: "There's no need to bluff like this, it feels like we're like small characters." Since the other party loves to daydream, as a good person, we just need to wake him up. ”
"Whoosh!"
A sharp straight ball, sticking to Sawamura's head, flew over.
Sawamura subconsciously turned his head sideways, but he didn't think about it, and the baseball turned around and got into the good ball belt.
"Smack!"
"Good shot!"
Number of balls, a good ball.
On the first ball, Haruka Nanami was full of firepower and threw his own decisive goal.
Sawamura's face began to become cautious, he knew that Nanami Haruka should have some strength, but he never thought that he, who was just a middle school student, would be so terrifying.
The soft ball is not as deep as the hard ball, so it is much more difficult to throw the ball with a soft ball than the hard ball. But even so, Nanami Haruka still threw the ball well, and his curved trajectory had a very large drop, giving the hitter the feeling as if he was going to smash on himself.
This kind of ball, in general, is not aimed at at all.
"It's just a pity that you ran into me."
In terms of striking strength, Sawamura will definitely not rank among the top in the country. But when it comes to experience, even if you tie up the five most powerful beaters in middle school right now, it is absolutely impossible to have more experience than Sawamura.
Haruka Nanami's curveball, although it is very good, but Sawamura is not without a way to deal with it.
"Whoosh!"
The ball speed is one hundred and three, and the second ball, Nanami Haruka throws the exact same curveball.
"My decisive shot, no one has been able to hit yet."
Haruka Nanami is very confident in his own change ball.
It's just that Sawamura is more confident, and he steps out, so that the pitch that originally looked like hitting Sawamura becomes an inside corner.
Sawamura watched as the baseball continued to fly to the outside corner, until it finally turned into a good ball for Sawamura.
Now is the time!
Biting the right time, the bat in Sawamura's hand roared out.
"Ping!"
