Chapter 52: Akagi, Akagi!!

One out, one third base has someone.

This can be regarded as a very favorable scoring situation on the baseball field. The threat of this situation is even more desperate than a full base. In a full-base situation, it looks as if the batter can score consistently as long as he hits a hit.

But it also motivates the pitcher, who just needs to concentrate on the hitter. Full bases limit runners' base theft, and pitchers don't have to be distracted to keep an eye on them. In college games, or even professional baseball games, facing the disadvantage of having people on first and third base. Especially when there are one or two outs to play the bottom, the guard is even willing to escort a hitter to form a full base and then defend.

This shows how dangerous the situation facing Akagi is now.

Sawamura opened his eyes and looked at the cowshed of Tenryuji Temple. He originally thought that with his experience of more than ten years on the court, it should be easy to lead his friends and defeat his opponents to enter the country.

In fact, Sawamura's experience has really helped him a lot. The players of Akagi Middle School, in just one and a half years, have grown by leaps and bounds. Even if Sawamura didn't stand on the pitcher's mound, they would have played well, and without Sawamura's scientific guidance, it would have been absolutely impossible. Although Sawamura has not studied coaching, he has never eaten pork, so he has never seen a pig walk? Even if Sawamura doesn't know why he trains like that, his training methods are undoubtedly very scientific.

In addition to the training method, Sawamura's baseball IQ is also good. He can also see through some ordinary strategies at a glance.

Against other teams, Sawamura has always been invincible. With his experience and strength, leading Akagi can make Akagi exert 15 percent, or even 200 percent of his strength. If it weren't for those reasons, Akagi wouldn't have been able to beat Nagano Toritsu last summer.

But every time he fights Nagano, or Tenryuji, Sawamura always has an uncomfortable feeling of sailing against the current.

The countermeasures they devised often hit the nail on the head of Akagi. Just like now, Tenryuji has obviously given up this final, but the old fox has made a little trick and put Akagi in a crisis. If Sawamura doesn't stand up, it won't be easy for Akagi to survive this crisis.

Compared with them, Sawamura lost in commanding the team after all.

"This old fox!"

complained in his heart, Sawamura was in the field, and made a code.

He wasn't going to be on the pitcher's mound at this time, especially in front of so many cameras coming to scout. But that doesn't mean Sawamura is giving up on victory.

Use an outside corner kick to decide the winner, seduce the hitter to swing the bat, and as long as the ball lands on the first base, then Akagi has a chance.

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiang, who has a tacit understanding with Sawamura, thought of it with Sawamura. Expecting Komaki to solve the beaters by himself is probably unlikely. Not to mention his current mentality, in terms of his strength, it is difficult to shake the beaters of the Tianlong Temple.

In this case, it is better to completely abandon relying on strikeouts to win the number of outs, and directly rely on the garrison to solve the hitter.

"Don't miss the ball!"

Feng Xiang silently recited and gave Xiao Mu a code.

Exterior angle!

On the pitcher's mound, Komaki nodded. He forced himself to calm down and stopped focusing on the runner and instead focused all his attention on the ball.

Ball control, ball control!

With a sigh of relief, Komaki threw his ball.

"Whoosh!"

Because of the focus on ball control, this ball is not fast, and the position is also very sweet. The center is outward, and the outer corner is fine, but in fact, it is still not a short distance from the corner.

So comfortable!

The sixth stick of Tenryu Temple, I feel that this ball is so comfortable, it is almost like hitting the muzzle of my own gun. In such a position, he is very easy to play long plays.

It feels like I can't say it, if I have to use an analogy, it's a bit like playing a game and seeing a human head.

Even if you didn't plan to attack, but the heads were sent to the door, where can you still bear it?

As a matter of course, the beater swung his bat.

"Ping!"

The little white ball was hit and flew high.

"Good !!"

"It's so beautiful!"

The ball hit very well, flying high and far.

Hattori at third base, his eyes were firmly fixed on the direction where the baseball landed. The direction should be the left field, at a distance of about fifty or sixty meters.

At this distance, if it is a high school, it is difficult to say whether it can steal home plate. But in middle school, this distance is sufficient. Enough for a third base runner to run back to home plate. After all, middle school outfielders are not as tough as high school players.

And the error rate of long passes is very high!

And even if the ball is placed in a high school game, the runner has a good chance of running back to home plate from third base.

At that moment, Hattori made up his mind that whether the ball was caught or landed, he would run.

Under the baseball, Sawamura had been waiting for it for a long time, and the baseball was firmly in his glove.

Luckily, it's not a difficult flat flyer, it's an ordinary high flyer. Judging the whereabouts, Sawamura could barely get it.

"Smack!"

The moment Sawamura received the ball, Hattori on third base started like a high-speed train.

"Pass home plate!"

Feng Xiang had been paying attention to Hattori's movements, and as soon as he saw him start, he immediately greeted Sawamura. But it's more than 50 meters away, where can Zecun hear clearly?

Fortunately, it doesn't matter if you can't hear clearly, Sawamura has never neglected to guard against Hattori, and when he saw Hattori starting, he was not only angry, but also had a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In terms of ball speed, Sawamura is really not the top. But when it comes to pitching, Sawamura thinks that among the middle school students in the country, there are absolutely few who can be compared with him.

The limit of his own measurements was one hundred and two meters.

For him, a 50-meter accurate long pass is really nothing.

"Whoosh!"

The pass like a laser light passed through most of the field from the left field and into Feng Xiang's glove.

At this time, Hattori was still ten meters away from home plate.

Feng Xiang waited for him to come over for a long time, and then killed him.

"Out!"

Double Kill!

Catch the hitter, and by the way, kill the runner on third base.

The huge crisis of someone on the first and third bases was reduced to nothing in the face of Sawamura's accurate long pass.

"Oh, what's that? It feels like light! ”

"I'll go, it's too awesome. Sawamura is a big outfielder, and he is so handsome. ”

"It's gold, it shines everywhere."

The audience's amazement, let's not say. Because of this double kill, Akagi's momentum is completely out, and the performance of the friends after that is very good, and the outstanding ones are a little scary.

In the fifth game, Akagi lost one point and scored two.

In the sixth game, Akagi lost another point and did not score.

In the seventh game, Akagi broke out and won three points in one go, of course, they also lost two points.

The overall score is 8:6!

With a two-point advantage, Akagi defeated the substitutes of Super King Tenryuji to win the Nagano Prefecture Championship.

In this game, although Sawamura didn't go to the pitcher hill and Haruka Nanami didn't even play, it was still very exciting! Strikes are like that, regardless of victory or defeat, from an ornamental point of view, they are definitely much better than pitcher battles.

After the game, everyone cheered for Akagi.

"Akagi! Akagi !! ”

This shouting lasted for five or six minutes.
