Sawamura's heavy artillery

In the first round and third rounds of the Kanto Conference, Akagi Middle School played against Hakuba Middle School in Chiba Prefecture, which officially began.

In the first half of the game, Akagi Middle School attacked.

"The first batter, first baseman, Oda Kazuto."

The current pitcher of Hakuba Middle School, Akagi has very limited information.

The speed of the ball, the power of the ball, the accuracy of the ball control, I don't know anything about it.

Such a completely unknown opponent made Oda extremely excited. He liked this kind of confrontation very much that they didn't know the depth of each other.

Come on, come on, let me see how capable you are.

"Whoosh!"

For the pitcher's first pitch, Oda chose to watch and not swing the bat.

The baseball let out a crisp whistling and got into the catcher's glove. Both the pitcher and the squatting catcher seemed satisfied with the ball.

Oda in the strike zone had a strange expression on his face.

This pitcher's pitching is so slow!

It doesn't mean that the pitcher of Hakuba Middle School is really slow. Judging by the age of 14-year-old middle school students, their ball speed is maintained at 120 to 130, which is relatively fast. Although the pitcher from Hakuba Middle School did not reach the fastest speed, the ball speed was also over 120 kilometres.

If it was in a Prefecture competition, Oda would be very easy to understand when he met such an opponent. After all, not everyone is as good as Sawamura or Nanami Haruna, and there is nothing to say about the slow speed of the ball.

But this is not a Prefecture competition, but a Kanto convention where heroes gather. It is really unreasonable to measure the level of the Kanto Conference by the level of the prefectural competition. The pitchers of the Kanto Conference, even if they don't have a ball speed of 130 kilometres, are at least close to this speed. Compared with them, the pitcher from Hakuba Middle School has a very average ball speed. Of course, not all of these ace pitchers in the Kanto Conference are fastball experts. Among them, some of the ball speeds are relatively slow, but even with these relatively slow ball speeds, there are definitely weapons that are not inferior to their ball speeds.

Does the pitcher of Hakuba Middle School have weapons other than ball speed?

Don't think about it, Oda also knew that it was absolutely impossible. In a team, it is very good to have Motoki as an alternative pitcher. If there are really two pitchers of this strength in Hakuba Middle School, then their principal can buy lottery tickets, and the probability of that is higher.

The speed of the ball is generally low, and the pitch has no other characteristics. Just pitching like this, the pitcher and catcher also showed a good shot, you are really good, and the expression that I am in good shape is really speechless.

On the second ball after the first strike, Oda swung the bat without any hesitation.

"Clang!"

After the white baseball was hit, it fell into the outfield, and neither the midfielder nor the left fielder had time to pick up the ball.

Oda took this opportunity to run to second base in one breath.

No one is out, there is someone at second base!

"Second, third baseman, Ken Yamaguchi."

After Yamaguchi stood in the strike zone, facing the strict defence of Hakuba Middle School, after two strikes, he chose to strike and walk.

Once out, there is someone at third base.

"The third batter, the catcher, Aoi Ren."

At this time, it was Ren's turn to strike. When Ren stood in the strike zone, there was a huge cheering sound at the scene.

The makers of the cheers are, of course, the brothers of the Brotherhood of Hearts.

When Akagi Middle School was attacking, there were two batters who were extremely reassuring, one was the ace pitcher and fourth batter Sawamura Eijun, and the other was the third batter, Aoi Ren.

These two batters, as long as there are people on the bases, are usually the same as the gangsters who kill the red-eyed gangsters.

"Ren! Come on!"

"Ren! Come on!!!!"

This huge pressure made the players of Hakuba Middle School extremely nervous.

In the bullpen, Motoki is fighting with his coach.

The coach of Hakuba Middle School shook his head like a rattle.

"Motoki, you need to be clear about why we gave up the champion of Chiba Prefecture in the first place. It's to go further in the Kanto Conference. Although we were unlucky, we met Yokozuna in the second round, but you are here. , we are not without the slightest chance of winning. So before the game with the yokozuna, you must save your physical strength. Leave this game to your senior, you have to trust your senior. Go back to the lounge chair with peace of mind, the score difference I'm definitely not going to let you play until two points."

Facing the strength of the coach, Motoki could only come back in a daze and sit on the cold bench.

At this time, Motoki really wanted to refute his coach, if they lost this game, would they still have a chance to play against Yokozuna?

"Clang!"

In such a short time, Ren had already scored timely hits to help the team lead. The ball he played was not as good as Oda Kazuto, but the speed was very fast, making it too late for the fielders of Hakuba to stop him.

Ren took the opportunity to hit first base, and Oda ran back to home plate.

The total score is 1:0!

Akagi Middle School scored the first point, which caused the brothers of the Brotherhood of Hearts to scream wildly.

It's not over yet!

Once out, there is someone at first base.

"Fourth, pitcher, Eijun Sawamura."

At this time, the soul of Akagi Middle School, Sawamura stood in the strike zone.

Sawamura first glanced at Ren unwillingly, he don't know what happened recently. It seems that all the heads have been taken away by Ren. As the team's ace fourth, Sawamura felt challenged.

So he decided to revive his ace in the fourth bat.

Sawamura, who was standing in the strike zone, was not moving forward or backwards, and his posture in preparation for a strike was extremely standard.

The bat in his hand was raised high and swayed slightly.

so troublesome!

It's tricky! !!

The pitchers and catchers of Hakuba Middle School felt this way almost at the same time. When Sawamura stood in the strike zone, they had a sense of crisis that they were being targeted by beasts.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

The catcher of Hakuba Middle School even came up with the idea of ​​escorting Sawamura.

"no!"

Of course, their request was not granted. The current situation is that there are people at first base, and even if Sawamura hits a second base, there is no way to score.

From the perspective of Hakuba Middle School, it is really inappropriate and unnecessary to recommend a batter at this time, especially when there is someone at first base.

"Ball!"

"Ball!"

Although he didn't want to walk Sawamura directly, the shooting partner of Hakuba Middle School still threw two balls to seduce Sawamura to swing.

Regrettably, Sawamura, who observed the path of the ball very carefully, did not shoot the bad ball. Instead, the pitcher and catcher are gradually being chased into the corner. If they don't want to walk Sawamura, they can only choose to shoot well now.

A good shot is coming, and the path of the ball is from the centre outside corner.

What a comfortable location!

For Sawamura, the opponent's ball was like a pie falling from the sky, and he swung it without hesitation.

"Clang!"
