"Sawamura, Sawamura !!"

Maybe it's because Sawamura is really tired from watching the pitcher's mound, or maybe it's because he was moved by Sawamura's previous performance. At the beginning of this game, there were sporadic cheers from the alumni.

"Is this stinky boy already so popular?"

Kuramochi looked at this scene in surprise, and his heart was not good.

In terms of coming first and coming later, of course he can't compare with those seniors in the third grade, but he can't be earlier than Sawamura!

What do you think of this posture, Sawamura is more popular than him among alumni?

"It's a matter of charisma."

Ryosuke Kominato was talking cool on the side.

"In order not to make him too proud, after the game, I had a good exchange with him."

After listening to Ryosuke Kominato's words, Kurachi's anger rose even more.

On the court, Sawamura looked at the code Chris gave him and nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Small white balls whizzed out.

Ball, here!

In the strike zone, the beaters of Kiryu High School in Osaka were on standby.

To be honest, Sawamura's ball speed and power are declining right now.

It's completely different from when he has enough energy. When someone else throws the ball, the ball speed will definitely gradually decrease. It can maintain a relatively high level to 100 balls, which is the limit.

Sawamura is different, Sawamura belongs to the more courageous the more you fight. Even if his pitch exceeds the number of 100, the ball power and ball speed will not decrease much, but will feel stronger and stronger!

Of course, people are not machines after all. Sawamura also has limits, and the stage when he pitches stronger and stronger is not the limit of his physical strength. At that time, his fighting spirit and physical strength were still very abundant.

And now Sawamura's physical strength has already reached its limit, standing on the verge of collapse at any time.

He can only guarantee a certain level of possession, ball speed and ball power.

This level is definitely not a small gap compared to his peak level.

In terms of the easiest speed to compare, Sawamura's previous fastest ball speed was 138 km/h, which can be maintained at an average of 136,137.

And now Sawamura's ball speed is around 134,135.

Overall, it's a cut down!

For hitters who are used to Sawamura's occlusion pitches, it will be easier for them to catch Sawamura's pitches.

Here it comes!

Seeing the baseball flying, the hitter waved the baton decisively.

"Ping!"

After the little white ball was hit, it flew high.

The baseball flies out, and the batter who thinks he's playing well throws away the bat and runs forward.

"Smack!"

Unfortunately, the ball flew right in front of the shortstop.

Kuramochi took two steps forward and caught the ball in his glove.

"Out!"

The rest area of Kiryu High School in Osaka.

Superintendent Takahiro Matsumoto looked at Sawamura suspiciously.

Was he wrong in his previous judgment? Sawamura still has plenty of stamina.

Do you want to continue to consume according to the previous strategy?

No, no!

Just thinking of this, Matsumoto shook his head decisively and vetoed his own idea.

It's now the eighth inning, and there are five outs left. If Sawamura still has plenty of stamina, they can only continue to attack.

This attack must be in the eighth and penultimate inning, and the effect will be discounted in the ninth inning.

If there are one or two outs left, the game can be stopped. The fighting spirit of the pitcher is extremely high, and even if the physical strength is overdrawn, it will continue unconsciously.

Unlike now, once the pitcher can't hold on, then consider that there is still a ninth inning.

Under double pressure, it's easier for pitchers to break down.

Those who travel a hundred miles, half ninety.

From a hundred miles of travel, to ninety, it is only half. It is said that the later you go, the easier it is for people to give up.

But the rest of you must be a number. For example, there are ten kilometers left, and this number is very torturous.

But with five kilometers left, it's different!

At this time, most people think that they will get through it by gritting their teeth.

This is the same as the legendary nine games with two outs in the second half of the game, which means that the game has just begun.

In baseball, the eighth and ninth innings are very crucial. And the most likely for pitchers to break down is often in the eighth inning.

"Go on!"

Overseer Matsumoto decisively gave orders to his disciples!

On the other side, Chris was also nervous with Sawamura.

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura nodded.

"Whoosh!"

After this ball was thrown, the ninth baseman of Kiryu High School in Osaka, who had just come on the field, was stunned.

In the middle, it turned out to be in the middle!

He stepped forward and swung his baton decisively.

"Ping!"

The white baseball was hit and landed in the left field.

"Descending Valley!"

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura anxiously reminded the guard.

"Smack!"

The baseball landed, and Akira Tsukiya picked up the ball at the first drop point of the baseball, and then passed it to second base like a guided missile.

At this time, the hitter has already run to first base.

"Safety!"

One out, one on first base.

The rest area of Kiryu High School in Osaka.

Superintendent Matsumoto Takahiro, who was still suspicious, was like taking a reassuring pill at this time.

Sure enough, the pitcher was at his limit!

Next, as long as you carry out the offensive of active attack, there will always be opportunities.

At this time, it was the turn of the hitter, the first batter of Kiryu High School in Osaka.

The first batter of Kiryu High School in Osaka is a strong hit.

At the beginning of the game, the first ball hit the ball of Xiaoya and hit a home run.

When someone goes to base, it's the batter's turn.

Sawamura suffered, the first crisis since he came on the field.

In the catcher's position, Chris constantly spelled the wilds on the pitch.

"Panic!"

His actions inexplicably pleased Takahiro Matsumoto.

He thought Chris was panicking.

After all, before, when Miyuki was a catcher, there was no one at Kiryu High School in Osaka.

As a result, as soon as the substitution was made, someone from here was on the base!

Takahiro Matsumoto, who is familiar with the internal competition rules of a wealthy high school, certainly knows about the competitive relationship between Miyuki and Chris.

Invisibly, Chris is already at a disadvantage in this competition.

At this time, what should Oita Kiryu High School do?

Of course, it's to take advantage of your illness and kill you!

"First base, watch the pitcher pitch, run now! The hitter looks for an opportunity to play, and if the first chance is good, play directly. ”

Come on!

The more flustered the opponent, the better our chances! At this time, you don't have to be polite to them, just get the score.

Compared with the previous caution, Osaka Kiryu High School at this time is simply crazy.

Their competitors were like cats that smelled fishy, and their eyes were red.

It was also at this time that Sawamura received a code from Chris.

Straight ball! Ordinary low-angle straight balls!

At this time, if one is not good, it is likely to lose two points.

Chris actually gave Sawamura a code for an ordinary straight ball.

"Whew~"

With a long sigh, Sawamura nodded silently.

At this time, even he didn't understand what Chris was thinking.

However, out of trust, he decided to pitch as Chris wanted.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball is shot, and the hitter swings the baton calmly on the strike zone.

The ball that comes in looks like an ordinary straight ball!

But, how is that possible?

Now that someone is on base, how can a catcher be on a straight ball?

So this ball must be a floating ball that seduces me to play!

"Ping!"

Without hesitation, the hitter aimed at the position of a ball above the path and swung the bat.

The white ball is hit and bounces off the ground.

At second base, Ryosuke Kominato jumped up and blocked the ball.

Almost at the same time, Kuramochi also arrived at second base.

"Ryosuke Senpai!"

He opened his gloves to ask Ryosuke Minato for the ball, and Ryosuke passed the ball over.

"Smack!"

After receiving the ball, Kuramochi stepped on the bag at second base and sent the ball to first base.

"Banned out!"

"Out!"

"Double kill!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

Sawamura used three balls to hold the game.

When he returned to the rest area, Sawamura almost bowed to Chris.

"Master, how do you know that the other party will definitely aim at the floating ball in the end?"

This is the thing that Sawamura does not understand the most.

He had also carefully studied the various beaters at Kiryu High School in Osaka before, and he thought he knew a lot about their habits.

But he never realized that the first stick at Kiryu High School in Osaka might be aimed at the floating ball.
