CHAPTER XXVII
"Oh~~, good job."
"This year's freshman level is very high, tactics, the team lacks nothing, give them a little time to grow, then the outcome is really uncertain."
"Well, we were beaten very badly by our predecessors back then."
The seniors looked at the freshmen who got the score with some pride, but they also had some inexplicable feelings.
"How can you just let the juniors be arrogant like this," Izagi's senior expression was a little unhappy, "Hey, what's the matter with you, not to mention that you didn't score a hundred points in the first grade, and let them snatch one point, aren't you too lazy lately!" β
"It's so shameful to fight so humiliatingly." Ryosuke Kominato, who was on the side, then made up for it.
"Give me a substitution, I'm going to play!! Ahhhh
"Juniprea, no, you've just finished a bunch of heavy training" Yoichi Kuramochi hugged Isashiki senior from behind and tried to stop the senior in the rampage.
The seniors on the field looked at Jun Izaki who was shouting outside the field, and felt a little embarrassed, and they all turned into gas stoves one by one, and decided that they must blow up the first-graders later. Although he lost one point, in the face of the next beaters, Chris and Kawakami did not have any panic and solved the latter two beaters unhurriedly.
Looking at the seniors who were at ease, Rong Chun was a little envious. On the other hand, Superintendent Kataoka, who inspected all the members of the department, didn't want to waste time, and it just so happened that the freshmen had a little confidence, and it might be counterproductive if they continued to fight.
"Superintendent, do you really intend to end the game in this round? Please keep playing, we can't just get a grade in the first grade. β
Although the third-graders on the side said this, the overseer did not want to change his mind, raised his right hand, and shouted,
"The whole team on both sides."
"Hey???"
"Overseer...."
"That's the end of it, and continuing to play will only widen the score gap."
The freshman who was just about to get better was forcibly interrupted, although the superintendent was right, but he was so unwilling, 'damn .....'
"Overseer, please let us continue, the game isn't over yet, is it?"
Rong Chun will never allow it to end like this, finally there is a game, and he can finally play, the opponent is still Chris's senior, he doesn't want to end it so simply.
"There is no need anymore, the result is already obvious .."
"It's necessary!!" Rong Chun loudly interrupted the supervisor's next words, "It is necessary for us players, we can still fight, the game is not yet ..... to the last minute"
The players on the field looked at the teenager who dared to interrupt the supervision, and felt in their hearts that the seniors didn't want to end the game because the freshmen had just scored a point, as if they were afraid of the freshmen, but they wanted the supervisor to see that their goal had been achieved, and the next step was not very important. Although the freshmen barely managed to hold on to the situation with their cooperation, it was really uncomfortable to be pressed and beaten, and it would be good if it could end as soon as possible, but looking at Rong Chun, who was so serious,
"Supervisor, please let us continue, whether we are scored or not, we want to see the gap between us and our predecessors in the field."
Tojo also echoed Rong Chun before the game, although the results were very unsatisfactory, but the harvest was also huge.
"Overseer!"
"Overseer!"
Looking at the expectant eyes of the disciples, Coach Kataoka showed a relieved smile,
"Alright, game continues, kid, you'll be the pitcher for the start of the inning."
Rong Chun, who was named, trembled in his body,
"Oh~~~, leave it to me, hahahahahaha."
Rong Chun, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, gently stirred the soil under his feet with his feet, long time gone, pitcher's mound.
"I'm going to be knocked out constantly, everyone on guard, please."
"Oh!!"
A simple sentence mobilized the enthusiasm of the guards, Rong Chun exchanged glances with the hunting field, the first ball after playing, you must say hello to the seniors well, Rong Chun, who smiled with a sunny face, was not so gentle when pitching,
"Good shot!!"
"Two good balls!!"
"Three good balls!! Hitter out"
Three balls and three strikeouts, the seniors who hit on the field, didn't even wipe the bat and went off the field,
βone outοΌβ
"Be careful, this guy's pitch can't see the point of the ball, the ball is in front of you in an instant, and it's hard to get the timing right."
'Can't see the spot?' What kind of pitching is it? The second hitter nodded, indicating that the message had been received. Standing in the strike zone, staring closely at Rong Chun on the pitcher's mound, and Rong Chun didn't give him much time to react,
"Good shot!"
Sure enough, you can't see the ball, but you can hit it. β
The hitter quickly swung his bat as the ball approached, missed the target, but was forcefully swept out of bounds.
'It's so sweet, you can hit it. Just when the hitter was thinking about the doubts of the previous ball, the next ball had arrived, looking at the pitch in the middle, the hitter subconsciously waved the bat, and the moment he touched it, he felt bad.
"Right outfield!"
Seeing the ball flying high, Rong Chun shouted to guard, moved a few steps in the right field, and put the ball into his glove.
Under Rong Chun's excellent pitching performance, the freshman team had no hits and no top bases in this inning. But then the seniors also struck out the opponent quickly, and the offense and defense were exchanged again, although they were prepared, but the seniors really didn't give Rong Chun any time to breathe.
Rong Chun looked at the senior Chris in the strike zone, and the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, "Don't retreat, Hang, deal with him toughly." β
Knowing Rongchun's character, he didn't hesitate to make a code,
"Bang...."
"Good shot!"
"Phew"
"Two good balls"
Chris felt the sensation coming from the bat, and although he often talked about it when chatting, to be honest, Sawamura didn't think your pitch was so good until he really hit it. If you don't guess wrong, the next goal will be Rong Chun's current decisive goal, come on!
Rong Chun raised his arm high, stepped inward with his right foot, charged his upper body, and then released it one by one, looking at the inside corner kick that suddenly smashed towards him, Chris senior waved the bat, but the baseball suddenly refracted inward, touched the front end of Chris's bat and hit it out.
Rong Chun looked at the senior Chris who had not changed his posture when he threw the ball, "That's amazing." Although he didn't play a long game, Chris was still safe on base.
"That ball just now, it's changed!"
"Well, I can see it clearly, it's inward, is it Carter's ball?"
"It's kind of like, does that guy from Sawamura still change the ball?"
Rong Chun, who was beaten out, was not in a hurry, although he really wanted to solve Chris's predecessor directly, but it was somewhat unrealistic. The next seniors were solved by Rong Chun again, but instead of using the carter ball, the fastball and the ordinary straight ball were switched, Rong Chun only threw the second game, and the round was not over, and the seniors had not been able to find the special features of Rong Chun's straight ball.
In Rong Chun's fourth inning, he faced Chris senior again, and this time, the senior let go of the outside corner low ball, hit Rong Chun's inside corner fastball, and went to first base. Rong Chun solved the second batter without danger, and then the third hitter also coincidentally swept Rong Chun's outside corner kick to the right field, and this is the case of the second and third base people ushered in the heavy batter Masuko senior.
If Chris's predecessor learned about Rongchun's special in the email, then Masuko's predecessor is the true knowledge in practice. Among the players present, he was the one who practiced throwing with Rong Chun the most except for Kominato Haruichi, especially after Rong Chun found the hunting ground, their pitching was perfect for Masuko's seniors, so Rong Chun's decisive ball was blasted out of the home run. Looking at the baseball flying out, Rong Chun was a little stunned, and then smiled helplessly,
"Masuko's seniors are too powerful, but next time it won't be so easy."
This game ended with three points lost and this was also the last game of the game, although Rong Chun himself was not very satisfied, and was clamoring to continue, but Kataoka overseer resolutely ignored him, and then Rong Chun forcibly gathered and saluted under the drag of his teammates.
"Chris, what do you think of Sawamura's performance today."
"I'm in good shape, I'm good at pitching, but it's a little noisy." Thinking of Rong Chun's noisy appearance sitting on the ground after the game, Chris couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"You and Masuko are both hitting well, do you think Sawamura's pitching can handle the first team's game?"
"I don't think there's a problem, Sawamura's pitching can't be tackled in one or two games, and I only learned about it after watching the video that Rong Chun sent me."
"I see, then Chriszer Village will ask you."
"Yes, Overseer."
