Chapter 32: Until You’re Satisfied!

Two Outs, runner at first base.

Seidou High's second hit came, and the batter was Chris.

On the pitcher mound of Akikawa, Shunshin wiped the sweat from his forehead. Although he lost a hit, his heart was delighted.

'This is how the game should be!'

'Each of the opponent's batters is terribly powerful and has his own skills.'

'You must maintain a sense of tension all the time, otherwise, if you are not careful, it may be your end.'

"I crossed the ocean and came here for this. This is the baseball I wanted to play!"

In the process of leading the rise of Akikawa Academy, Yoh Shunshin and the others also played against many teams. He faced many teams, whether it was an official or practice game.

Tokyo is such a great place where you can always find a variety of opponents.

It's just because Akikawa Academy's previous reputation was so mediocre, that they never had the chance to play against Famous High Schools.

Moreover, Yoh Shunshin has never found the baseball game that haunted him in his dream.

He thought maybe he would find it if he went to a higher stage.

It was with this belief that he brought his friends from Akikawa Academy to work hard together. He hopes to go to Koshien to see if there is what he has been looking for.

However, while doing so, Akikawa Academy faced Seidou High School, the strongest team they have encountered so far.

They are also the only Famous Powerhouse they have encountered so far.

From this team, Yoh Shunshin clearly felt the difference.

Seidou has what he has been looking for.

A pure, delicate, and deeper baseball.

Every cell in the body is cheering happily.

Yoh Shunshin was as free as he was roaming in the ocean.

"Eighth Batter, outfielder, Shiratsu-kun."

On the pitcher mound, Yoh Shunshin's state at the moment is amazing.

His mind was extremely clear, and the information about Shiratsu flashed through his mind in an instant.

Although Shiratsu was the most inconspicuous batter in the first string of Seidou's lineup, nevertheless, his strength is not weak, and his all-rounded batting skills are terrifying.

When Sawamura is playing in the lower line, the two often form a counter-attacking link in the lower line, and their scoring ability is not bad at all.

However, such a Batter also has his flaws.

It is precisely because of his comprehensive batting skills that his batting tactics are not difficult to guess. As long as you judge the situation on the field, he will bat in according to what is most beneficial to Seidou.

Two Outs, runner at first base.

The ninth Batter behind him is the ordinary Sakai.

Now what Shiratsu wants to do most is to win the long hit!

'Then I will fulfill your wish!'

Whoosh!

A sharp inside corner ball came whistling.

Shiratsu on the strike zone, swung the bat decisively.

With his strength, outside corner balls can't be hit long.

A ball that can hit a long hit is the inside corner or the center.

With Yoh Shunshin's ball control, it is impossible to expect to hit his center ball.

Therefore, Shiratsu aimed at the ball path of the inner corner from the beginning.

Now that he saw the inside corner ball coming, Shiratsu decisively swung his bat.

Ping!

The white ball was hit and bounced to the third base.

Akikawa's third baseman caught it and passed to first base.

"OUT!"

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

Although Chris hit a hit, Seidou's situation was not as optimistic as he imagined.

In the stands, the words of Fujio, the senior reporter from the baseball kingdom, can best explain the problem.

"Today's Yoh Shunshin gives the feeling that it's hard to imagine that someone can take consecutive hits from his hands."

In Seidou's rest area, Kataoka, Ochiai, Miyuki, Chris.

The faces of the four think tanks are very ugly.

The opponent was Akikawa, and Seidou didn't want to expose too much. Now it seems that if they do not adopt some means, it will be difficult to win the opponent.

"If this goes on, the momentum of Akikawa will only get stronger and stronger." Chris frowned.

"We must get the score!"

With that said, Kataoka turned to look at Sawamura: "Next inning, try to bring despair to your opponent, try to Strikeout all of the batters when you face them."

The prelude to the attack needs to start from the pitching.

Let Sawamura tell Akikawa's players how desperate their future is.

Then look for an opportunity to launch a counterattack.

"Use mobility and batting skills to shake up the opponent pitcher."

Kuramochi and Kominato Ryosuke nodded quickly.

The game continues.

In the first half of the third inning, Akikawa Academy attacked.

Sawamura stood on the pitcher's mound.

For Sawamura to Strikeout Akikawa's batters, it was not a difficult task.

However, the Change-up still has to be unlocked.

In the previous six Outs, Sawamura only used the Change-up when dealing with Yoh Shunshin. Now the firepower is full, unlocking the Moving-up ball and the Change-up, plus precise ball control, tricking Akikawa's batter to swing is not difficult.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!"

No wasted balls, nine balls, and three Strikeouts.

In the last ball, when the Akikawa Batter wanted to entangle, Sawamura unceremoniously used the Change-up.

It is hard for the Batters to hit it unless they're that good or they're willing to gamble.

In three or four minutes, Seidou completed the defense.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

Despair!

A powerful Ace will always bring despair to the opponent.

Facing Sawamura's firepower, Akikawa's players have this feeling.

They see no hope of conquering Sawamura.

Although Shunshin is also strong, if they can't score points, Akikawa will still lose this game.

"Do not worry!"

On the bench, the fighting spirit in Shunshin's eyes was still strong.

"The more eager the opponents are now, the more anxious they are. Isn't this very good, just follow our plan. Just do your best, and the situation of the game will turn to our side sooner or later."

When Shunshin said those words, all of Akikawa's team gained a bit of confidence.

They saw hope in Yoh Shunshin.

Yes, with Shunshin there, they have hope.

"Go on!"

"let's fight with Seidou to the end."

"Victory will be ours."

The players of Akikawa, after experiencing the despair brought to them by Sawamura, still have an undiminished fighting spirit.

In Seidou's rest area, Chris shook his head: "It looks like it will be difficult for us to completely defeat Akikawa before we score a point."

"I'm afraid one point is not enough. As far as their fighting spirit is concerned, it is difficult for them to lose hope without a three-point gap." Sawamura shook his head.

He himself is an example. At that time with Akagi, even a two-point lead was nothing.

Because everyone believes that they can always make a comeback.

However, the three points are different.

"If two points are not enough, then we will get you three points. If three points are not enough, then we will get you five points even more, until you are satisfied."

Isashiki said impatiently.

"Jun-san is right!"

"Then let's get started."

In the second half of the third inning, Seidou High School attacked.

"Ninth Batter, outfielder, Sakai-kun."
