on the pitch.

The friends of the baseball team of Akagi Middle School stared blankly at the people who came to cheer for themselves, and couldn't believe all this in front of them.

Even on weekdays, Feng Xiang and Xiao Tian, who are well-informed and have excellent psychological quality, are a little dumbfounded.

When was the last time they saw this?

It's like, when they were in the fifth grade of elementary school, they were competing in national competitions.

When did the Akagi Middle School baseball team become such a popular team?

"Brothers!"

The scene was still relatively calm, he had seen too many big scenes, and the more than 1,000 people in front of him, although he was moved, it was not enough to make him lose his color.

"Now, we have no way out. No matter what lies ahead, we can only keep rushing forward,"

Sawamura said with a wry smile.

"Ah~"

Friends, I also have the same consciousness. Even if it wasn't for themselves, for the sake of these audiences who were willing to brave the scorching sun to cheer for them, they could only fight.

"Nagano Prefecture Tournament, the second game of the semifinals, the Akagi Junior High School baseball team played against the Tenryuji Junior High School baseball team, start now!"

In the first half of the first game, Tianlongsi Middle School attacked.

Before going on the field to guard, Akagi's friends looked at Sawamura with disgust one by one. They haven't eaten pork, and they've seen pigs go. After so many games, they also know that the side that strikes first in the game will be more advantageous.

In the two key matches of Keze Village, Guess Boxing lost boxing.

"Your luck, don't play with small steel balls in the future, is it just to give money to people?"

Yamaguchi opened his fleshy lips and complained.

When he said this, Sawamura was still a little embarrassed.

His luck doesn't seem to be very good lately.

"Forget it, for us, although it is advantageous to attack first, it is not bad to defend first. Isn't it, Ace-sama? ”

Feng Xiang said, a pair of eyes staring at Sawamura.

"Of course!"

Sawamura nodded with a smile: "In this game alone, the back attack may or may not be a good thing for us." ”

Instead of watching Haruka Nanami's pitching, I felt hopeless.

It's better to show off your own side first, and give the other party a dismount.

In the first half of the first game, the Akagi garrison began.

In this game, the lineup of Akagi Middle School changed, and Aozuki Wakana, who was originally guarding the outfield, suddenly adjusted to the position of third base to guard third base. Former third baseman Ken Yamaguchi was transferred to the middle field.

"First bat, catcher, Hattori-san."

Hattori, second grade, one of the main core players of Tenryuji Middle School. He is the partner of ace pitcher Haruka Nanami, and he is also the first batter on the team.

"Has the garrison been adjusted?"

In addition to these superficial materials, Hattori also has a characteristic that his gaze is sharp enough. It is often possible to see the other party's intentions through some superficial phenomena.

Only this time, he was a little confused.

I really don't understand, what is Akagi doing?

To be honest, that fat man is actually well guarded in Akagi's team. How could such a core defender be replaced?

"I don't understand!"

I don't understand, and Hattori doesn't bother much. Since you can't figure out what the other party's intentions are, use your own action to open a gap.

"Ping!"

On the first ball, Hattori used a short strike.

He hit the ball in the direction of third base with precision, and then the whole man spied to first base.

Although Cangyue at third base tried hard to pick up the ball and pass the ball, she was still a step slower.

"Safety!"

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

Tenryuji Middle School, although when they met before, they seemed to look down on Akagi Middle School, but when it came to the real game, their tactics were very conservative.

At the beginning, he used a short attack to attack, even if there was a civil war between the three kings on weekdays, this situation was rare.

Tenryu Temple, apparently, has regarded Akagi as the object that needs to be guarded against the most.

"It's so fast!"

"That guy is, Scud, Hattori? Sure enough, the speed is extraordinary. ”

"Yes, he represented the Phoenix Temple last year, but he wasn't a catcher at the time, but a substitute runner."

The second bat, also with a short hit.

It's a pity that his ball, which was not parked as beautifully as Hattori, landed on the front of Sawamura, was picked up by Sawamura, and sent to first base.

"Out!"

Although the hitter was out, Hattori, the runner who was originally on first base, took the opportunity to go to second base.

One out, there's someone on second base.

"Third batter, pitcher, Haruka Nanami."

All of Nagano Prefecture, the biggest players appeared.

"Ao Yi, let me see the strength of your new partner."

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang glanced up at Nanami Haruka, and said in a low voice: "Although I say so, you may not be happy." However, I think Sawamura should be a more powerful genius than you. ”

"Oh, I'm very interested."

Nanami Haruka smiled brightly, so bright that people couldn't take their eyes off it.

He himself is not outstanding in appearance at all, and can even be said to be ordinary. But once you laugh, you feel completely different from people.

Charismatic!

"Then I'm really going to have to be careful!"

"Ping!"

In the face of Sawamura's sharp pitching, Nanami Haruka chose to play exactly the same short shot with the first two bats.

Then he rushed out like a sharp arrow.

The ball was headed towards Sawamura, who swooped forward quickly, then picked up the ball, didn't even raise his waist, and passed the ball to first base.

"Smack!"

The baseball arrived, and almost at the same time Haruka Nanami also ran to first base.

The linesman hesitated for a moment, then finally raised his hand: "Safety!" ”

"Oooh, !!!!oh,

It was not until this time that the stands on the side of Tianlong Temple erupted into cheers and tsunamis.

One out, one third base has someone.

Relying only on short hits and running bases, they won very good scoring opportunities.

Of course, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Tenryuji Middle School really grasped Akagi's weakness.

That is, except for the catcher, first baseman, and pitcher, all the garrison points of Akagi Middle School are loopholes. Except for the high flying balls sent to the door, they are simply equivalent to wooden stakes.

"Fourth baseman, first baseman, plain skush."

At the moment of crisis, the most dangerous hitter of Tianlong Temple went to the strike zone.

The situation facing Akagi Middle School is very bad.

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiangao looked at Nanami Haruka on the first base with fire-breathing eyes.

Didn't this bastard just say that he was going to go head-to-head? It's despicable to use a short hit.

On the pitcher hill, in the face of the crisis, Sawamura was very calm.

He indifferently stretched out a finger, then clenched it into a fist.

This is the code they had discussed before, and it was also a garrison formation specially designed to target the short-fight tactics that Tianlong Temple might use.

Cangyue and Xiao Tian, who were on first and third base, moved forward more than ten meters from their defensive positions, sticking to the hitters to guard. At the same time, the Yamazaki brothers, who were in the left and right outfields, approached the sideline of the infield ten meters.

Second base and the shortstop also followed, almost in a straight line with Sawamura. They can fill in at any time.

The entire second base, completely vacated and unmanned.

The most interesting thing is the middle field, Yamaguchi did not move forward, but chose to retreat, retreating to the big rear of the whole court.
