Chapter 14: Matchup on the Base (2nd Update)

One out, there's someone on second base!

Such a duel makes people a little foggy and unclear.

In the face of an opponent like Sawamura, why didn't Tanba use his own high-altitude curveball, but an ordinary straight ball?

In fact, in addition to these seniors in the third grade, Sawamura, who was hit, was able to see some reasons for the onlooker.

Because he kept an eye on Sawamura, he also investigated all the information about Sawamura.

Sawamura played more than 20 home runs throughout his middle school years. The vast majority of them, almost 80 percent of them are change balls!

Although it looks weird, judging from the data, Sawamura is really not good at dealing with strong straight balls, but prefers to play changing balls.

The information doesn't lie, no matter how unbelievable it is, but it is a fact that Sawamura is good at playing tricky change balls.

This point, it seems that Senior Tamba and Senior Miyauchi have also noticed it.

"So what are you going to do?"

It's useless to simply get to second base with Murakami.

So Miyuki is very interested in Sawamura's next move.

On the other hand, the faces of several third-graders are not very good-looking.

"There's nothing muddy about the blow."

"There is nothing to say about the standard movements, although it is not very eye-catching, but it is very solid."

"It's strong on both sides."

"It's like a little monster!"

Everyone, you have a mouth, and I comment on Sawamura.

It seems that they are all praising Sawamura, but their eyes are full of confidence.

If he was the one standing on the court, he would never lose!

After two years of training in high school, these guys have been reborn both physically and mentally, and they have absolute confidence in themselves.

"Third batter, outfielder, Ohira."

It's the turn of the hitter to play the core line of the freshman.

Before pitching, Tanba glared at Sawamura fiercely.

Sawamura honestly stayed on second base and didn't make any movement.

Tamba relaxed, ready to pitch.

At this time, Sawamura had begun to quietly accelerate in small steps, squirming towards the third base.

"Second base!"

In the position of the catcher, the palace spewed out two breaths from the nose like a cow, ready to remind Tanba and contain Sawamura.

On the pitcher's mound, Tamba was completely immersed in his own pitching, at which point his feet had stepped out and made a pitching motion.

It's too late!

The palace made a judgment instantly, and no longer reminded Tanba at the moment, waiting to catch the ball.

The small white ball, like a meteor falling to the ground, went around the side of the hitter's body.

Even if he saw it once, Da Ping was frightened and took half a step back.

At this time, Sawamura was already close to third base because of the rush.

"Don't look down on people!"

Miyauchi received the ball and passed to third base without hesitation.

The third baseman catches the ball and turns around to kill Sawamura, but there is still Sawamura in front of him.

After approaching third base, Sawamura went straight to a beautiful base and pounced on the base.

"Safety!"

The linesman looked at Sawamura in surprise and was stunned for a second before announcing.

Sawamura stood up casually and gave a thumbs up to Ohira.

Da Ping felt a little ashamed in his heart, he actually retreated just now.

Next time, next time, absolutely no refund. Be sure to touch the ball out.

As soon as it's out, there's someone on third base.

The freshmen ushered in, and it was a very good chance to score.

"It was a great choice."

"Especially when both the pitcher and the catcher are paying attention to him, he dares to take bold action."

"The unstoppable Zemura really lives up to its reputation."

At this time, there was no one to take the village as a freshman.

Such a character, where can it be compared to the average freshman?

On the pitcher's mound, Tamba's face was very ugly.

Looking back now, the glance he glanced back at Sawamura with his eyes, but instead of having any effect, he helped Sawamura steal the base.

If it weren't for Tanba's determination that Sawamura would not steal the base, it might not be too late to steal the third base with Sawamura's speed.

Miyuki, who was watching from the sidelines, looked at Sawamura with wide eyes.

"This guy is really interesting!"

Such an opportunity to steal the base is fleeting. I didn't expect such a little time difference to be caught by Sawamura!

It's amazing, it's amazing.

In the striking zone, Dahei kept hinting to himself that he must hit the ball, he must hit the ball.

Tactics, before going on the field, everyone has already discussed it.

As soon as it's out, there's someone on third base.

Run with a strap, no matter what the result is, Sawamura will run.

As long as the ball hits the ground, they have a chance!

This point, the palace obviously also thought of it, and he immediately decided to give a code to the infielders and let them move forward to guard.

In this way, even if the freshman uses a short fight, there is not much chance.

Get everything ready, and Miyauchi will match Tamba with the ball.

On the pitcher's mound, Tanba nodded and threw the crucial shot.

At the moment of Tanba's pitch, Sawamura had already started running towards home plate.

"Straight home plate?"

Jun Izakiki looked at Sawamura incredulously: "He's crazy? ”

"No, no, it's a forced score!"

Ohira, who had never hit the ball, swung his baton decisively.

"Ping!"

The little white ball was touched and bounced high.

Touched!

Ohira was overjoyed, then spread his bat and ran forward.

Sawamura, who ran from third base to first base, saw the landing point of that ball with his peripheral vision, and his heart was shocked. Brake suddenly, turn around and run to third base.

But it's too late!

After throwing the ball, Tanbo rushed forward, and the ball that had just bounced off happened to land right in front of him. Tanba opened his gloves and took the ball.

The beater is killed!

In this case, it would be useless for Sawamura to run to home plate.

Baseball Rules: The runner is on third base, and if the hitter is caught, the runner must return to third base to start before stealing the base. Otherwise, if you don't get back to third base in time, or if you get touched, you're out.

Sawamura realized that Tanba would take Hira, so he desperately rushed to third base.

"Smack!"

The veteran third baseman received a pass from Tamba and did not give Sawamura a chance to return to the base.

"Good work!"

His gloves touched Sawamura's body.

"Double kill!"

"Double Kill !!"

The catcher, pitcher, and third baseman work together seamlessly.

In the face of the surprise attack of the freshman team, the old team was well guarded.

Sawamura spread his hands helplessly and gave a thumbs up to the old students.

It's amazing!

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

"Tamba is qualified, as long as you return to your original characteristics and rhythm, you will be our main pitcher."

The referee, Kataoka, was extremely satisfied with Tanba's performance just now: "After the fifth game, you can leave the game." In the afternoon, he began to return to the First Army for training. ”

"Yes!"

Tanba replied very excitedly.

Sawamura is back in the ranks of freshmen.

"How can you be brutal?"

Kanemaru asked Sawa Village angrily. He didn't mean to find fault, he just felt sorry.

The freshman team finally won a hit, and it just disappeared.

Sawamura shrugged: "The difference in strength is so big, if we don't have the momentum to break the cauldron, how can we shake these seniors?" ”

In fact, according to Sawamura's original script, he hoped that Ohira would be able to swing the baton and fail.

In this way, he can face off against the Miyauchi seniors from home base......

Unexpectedly, Ohira's performance was better than he imagined, and he actually hit Tanba's ball, so that he was difficult to ride the tiger.

"Change your mood, it's time for us to be on guard."

In the second half of the fourth inning, the old team attacked.
