Chapter 50: Score!
"Ping!"
The white ball was hit by Sawamura and flew upside down.
The moment the ball touched the bat, Sawamura felt his palms tingle, and the ball was much heavier than he had imagined. Variation of the ball, generally speaking, the sharper the variation, the greater the restriction on the power of the ball.
In terms of the variation of Haruka Nanami's curveball, his ball shouldn't be that heavy, right?
"This guy's pitching really has life."
Sawamura had a momentary loss of consciousness in his heart, but his spiritual will, which had been tempered for thousands of years, did not stop his movements. As soon as the ball was hit, Sawamura spread his bat and ran towards first base.
"Smack!"
The baseball rebounded on the ground at the second baseman of Tenryuji Temple, five or six meters next to him.
At this time, the second baseman of Tenryu Temple, like a divine helper, flew away and blocked the ball. It's just that when he found that if he caught the ball with his gloves, he would inevitably fall to the ground and miss the opportunity to block Sawamura, he directly opened his gloves completely and flew the ball out.
On the other side, the shortstop was also quick, catching the ball with gloves and passing through to first base.
"Beautiful!"
Even the fans who support Akagi have to sigh that Tenryu Temple is powerful. The ball that Sawamura hit just now can be said to be a 100% hit, the baseball has landed, and it has rebounded outside the second baseman's defensive range, even if the second baseman flies to save the ball, Sawamura can run to first base leisurely.
But instead of doing that, they slapped the ball directly at their teammates with gloves.
This is not something that ordinary people can do.
And the cooperation of teammates is good, directly catch the ball, pass to first base.
This is definitely not something that can be exercised overnight. Especially compared with the garrison of Akagi, the Tianlong Temple is really called a garrison. Akagi's garrison is a little better than the wooden stakes.
"Smack!"
The garrison is clean and neat, not at all like an ordinary middle school student. It's just that Sawamura's reaction was also fast, and the moment the ball was hit, he didn't delay for a fraction of a second, and rushed to first base, almost at the same time as the pass.
Another ambiguous ball?
The referees on first base were about to cry, and this kind of look like a simultaneous entry and block, once in a game, there are a lot. In this game, the first game was not played yet, and there were two appearances.
How else to play?
Regardless of whether he is awarded to the base or not, in the end, some people inevitably say that he is shady. It's not the beginning of the tournament, and Akagi is no longer a penniless team. Feeling a little wronged, I can only hold it by myself.
In the audience, at least four or five media outlets, including "Baseball Boys," were there.
Once they feel that the game is unfair, they will definitely not be polite.
The qualification battle for the Kanto Convention, the last one. In such a game, any penalty must be extremely cautious.
"Safety!"
Last time, he sentenced Tianlong Temple to be safe on the base, and this time he reciprocated the favor, how could he help Akagi.
No one is out, there is someone on first base.
Sawamura let out a sigh of relief, and honestly stepped on the base bag, looking like he cherished this base very much.
In fact, Sawamura was also taken aback. He obviously played a good ball just now, but he didn't expect to end up on a thrilling base.
These guys from Tianlongsi Middle School are also too fast. Just looking at the guards, they are already very close to the level of high school powerhouses. This is very rare in middle school.
It is precisely because of the experience that Sawamura knows better. Baseball in middle school and baseball in high school are two different worlds entirely. Except for some top masters, it is difficult for ordinary people to keep up with the rhythm of high school competitions.
"The more this happens, the more we can't let go of this chance to get on base, and we must score no matter what."
"Second baseman, first baseman, Honsen Oda."
The second stick of Akagi this time is Oda.
On the pitcher's hill, Nanami Haruka's face was very calm, calm like a clear spring, clear to the bottom.
Just now, his most proud decisive ball was knocked out.
In Haruka Nanami's impression, this is the first time someone can hit his decisive ball solidly. Even in the whole country, in the face of those famous strong clubs, he has never had such an experience.
I thought that I would use my own decisive ball to give Sawamura a dismount. Unexpectedly, he was slapped in the face, and he was beaten so hard.
"Hmph, interesting. Is Eijun Sawamura? ”
Sawamura subverted Nanami Haruka's worldview, and it was precisely because of this subversion that Nanami Haruka, who had little pursuit of baseball, rekindled his competitiveness in baseball.
Geniuses are meant to collide with each other in order to promote each other's growth.
"Whoosh!"
Next, Haruka Nanami's pitching is full of explosiveness. Although it is somewhat primitive, it is also very powerful.
Oda felt that his swing couldn't keep up with Nanami's pitching.
At the first base, Sawamura was also aware of this. Nanami Haruka's pitching seems to have evolved, although it looks a little primitive and not very stable, but it feels stronger than his previous pitching.
"If this continues, there is no chance at all."
When Sawamura realized this, he immediately changed his strategy. He left the first base bag and quietly headed for second base.
Both Hirahara, the first baseman, and Hattori, noticed the change in Sawamura, and they used their own code to notify Haruka Nanami on the pitcher's hill.
Nanami glanced at Sawamura on the first base, and at this time, Sawamura had already left the base bag for three or four meters.
Do you want to distract me with the Raiders?
Naive!
Thinking about it, Haruka Nanami passed the ball in his hand to first base.
Sawamura flew to first base synchronously.
"Safety!"
First baseman Hirahara passes the ball back to Haruka Nanami, and at this time, they are more certain that Sawamura left the base pack to distract Haruka Nanami.
Now that they have insight into Sawamura's intentions, they naturally don't care about Sawamura anymore, but concentrate on solving Oda.
And the next ball, Nanami threw the ball, and Sawamura got up and didn't wait for Nanami to pitch the ball, and ran to second base.
"Smack!"
After Hattori received the ball, his nose was almost crooked, and Sawamura looked down on people too much. You say you want to be fast, and it's just a matter of stealing the base, but you are obviously as slow as a turtle crawling, and you still learn from others to be handsome.
"Look for death!"
Hattori got up and passed the ball to second base.
By this time, the shortstop had already made up for second base, and after receiving the ball, he touched it directly to Sawamura with his gloves.
At this time, Sawamura slipped under his feet and fell down.
This timing, very coincidentally, happened to avoid the gloves of the Tenryu Temple guerrillas.
"Safety!"
No one is out, there are people on second base.
Then, things developed as it should. Oda hit a short hit to send Sawamura to third base, and Feng Xiang sent Sawamura back to home base with a short hit.
In this semi-final, Akagi Middle School took the lead in scoring the first point.
The aggregate score was 1:0, and Akagi took the lead.
