It turned out to be a screwball!

The huge anti-shock force from his hand caught Sawamura off guard.

Before he could react, the baseball bounced off and landed right in front of the shortstop.

The ball bounced off the ground, and Sawamura ran to first base in vain.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Two outs, two on second base.

There is no way out of Sawamura's out. Even if he had the speed of the position, the landing bounce ball directly in front of the shortstop, he would never be able to run to first base.

Fortunately, Ryosuke Kominato was prepared and started running to second base before Sawamura hit.

Although Sawamura was out, Ryosuke Kominato ran on the scoring lap very steadily.

Qingdao High School's chance to score is still not broken.

"Formed!"

"Formed!!"

The Seongdo supporters in the stands shouted their names in unison, hoping that the captain could help the team come out on top.

After Sawamura was out, they had a faint feeling of being bad. Now they desperately need it, and Qingdao High School has an advantage in performance.

In the rest area of Seido High School.

The feeling of the audience, the supervision and coach of Seongdo, felt clearer.

"The last ball?"

Ochiai asked as he greeted Sawamura, who was going to be on the field.

Sawamura nodded and said affirmatively, "That's right, it should be a spiral." After the ball was in hand, it moved outside. That spin is 100% a spiral. ”

Really!

Ochiai nodded, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

The screwball, because it hurts the pitcher's body too much, is almost extinct in professional baseball.

I didn't expect that there are still people in high school today who have such a terrible weapon.

"In the previous data, there was no record of the spiral ball at all!"

Chris, who served as the main catcher, said softly.

Sawamura nodded.

Although Aodo has not deliberately studied the tactics against the troll Otoenmaki High School, Sawamura has seen the general information.

In my impression, the trump card of the troll has never thrown a spiral ball.

If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have any defenses in his heart, even in the face of the spirue, Sawamura wouldn't have no way at all.

"His spiral ball is not fully grown. The raid may have some effect, as long as everyone is familiar with it, I believe it is not impossible to deal with it. ”

Sawamura comforted everyone.

Of course.

It's not all comfort, and from Sawamura's own point of view, the ball is not missed. It's mostly a matter of luck and it takes time to get used to.

What really scared him was the attitude of the troll Otoenmaki, who reached the Koshien finals, and the troll didn't even use all his strength to hide his strength.

To be honest, this is not a good sign.

"Ping!"

As if a tornado was blowing, it formed a solid knot and hit the ball out, and the ball sped all the way to the outfield.

"Beautiful!"

"Hit out!"

With such a ball, the friends in the rest area of Qingdao High School couldn't help but boil.

Sawamura also smiled.

The captain is the captain, and his swing of the baton is ...... throughout the Qingdao

Just when Qingdao's friends thought that this point had entered their pockets, a figure flew out of the troll's field, and steadily caught the ball that was formed into a glove.

"Smack!"

"Out!"

Sawamura's smile froze on his face, and his surroundings became silent.

I thought that the ball was nine out of ten, but it was caught?

In the Troll Outfield, the bespectacled Sven boy stood up, his gloves raised.

Sawamura's eyes flashed.

Don't talk about this guy, it's still his acquaintance.

The four sticks of the former Qingyu Middle School, the catcher, Hongo's partner Okajo Renji.

"This guy, as an outfielder, is also very good!"

Sawamura was extremely emotional.

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

This is the end of the offense of Seido High School in the first inning, leaving only Ryosuke Kominato on second base, a remnant base.

In the rest area, the players from Seido High School changed their equipment and went on the field to guard.

The lineup is pitcher No. 1, Eijun Sawamura.

Number two, Catcher, Chris.

Three, first baseman, formed.

No. 4, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato.

No. 5, third baseman, Tsuru Masuko.

Number Six, Shortstop, Kurachi.

Seven, left fielder, Itai.

Eight, stalwarts, Jun Izaki.

Nine, right fielder, Hakushu.

In the last final, Qingdao High School played with all the main forces!

Before going on the court, Chris communicated to Sawamura: "I can't bring out your potential like Miyuki. When you get to the field, you can adjust it yourself. In the case of the ball, do you want the opponent to miss the swing, or let them play it? ”

"Just swing the stick and miss!"

Sawamura affirmed: "The other party has shown a sense of trump card presence, how can we not fight." ”

"Well, what about the bad balls?"

"You don't need bad balls, you can use them all to decide the winner."

Seeing Nitta's spiral ball, Sawamura's genes belonging to pitchers exploded.

Breathe in the air on Koshien Stadium and listen to the deafening cheering sounds around you. Sawamura felt that the cells in his body began to beat restlessly.

In the bottom half of the first inning, the trolls attacked.

Last night, Qingdao High School researched the trolls and finally came to the conclusion that the probability of this team scoring in the first game was high.

So in the beginning, be careful.

"First bat, outfielder, Takeda-san."

Looking at Takeda, who walked into the strike zone, Chris's mind automatically appeared with the information of the other party.

Takeda, who is very fast, is said to be a good player at stealing bases.

But in his records, there are almost no records of short hits and stealing bases, all of which rely on honest duels with opponents and hits. The batting rate is as high as 30% or more!

Of course.

This does not rule out the possibility of the opponent's short fight, based on the previous performance of Nitta, it is not difficult to see that the trolls obviously did not do their best in the game before the final.

In this case, it is even more necessary to be cautious in pitching.

First Ball: Cross Ball with High Inside Corner!

Pitcher mound.

Sawamura saw the code Chris had called him, and nodded slightly.

As a Master Chris, he knows his heart.

The glove in his right hand was pushed out like a wall. As the center of gravity shifted, his left hand shook the baseball out of his hand like a whip.

Takeda, who was in the strike zone, looked at the flying baseball and prepared to play a short shot.

However, there is no chance if you don't find it!

Small white balls, almost Chris gloves flying into his chest.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

Takeda's face became ugly, and in the situation just now, he had no way to use a short stick at all!

He can't use the small side of the bat to play short, right?

Damn, I've never used a short fight before, how did the people of Qingdao see through their plans?

The doubts in Takeda's heart have not yet been figured out, and the pitcher is on the hill, and Sawamura's second ball comes.

"Whoosh!"

So fast!

Not only is it impossible to see the shooting point, but the pace of the pitching is also fast and scary, which catches people off guard.

In order not to be chased by the number of good balls, Takeda should swing the ball with this ball, but he couldn't make a shot.

In his stunned moments, Sawamura's pitch came.

In a panic, he didn't have time to discern the ball.

"Smack!"

"Good shot!"

In the blink of an eye, Sawamura took the lead with two good balls and chased the hitter.

At this time, he was just beginning to warm up.
