Lack of skill

"Strike, strike out!"

Sawamura scored the last out in the first half of the sixth inning, extending his hopes of the game to the second half of the sixth inning.

The score was 2:1. Before the end of the game, Akagi had two more chances to attack, and in these two rounds, it would be Akagi's turn to play at the top. That is to say, the upper line consists of Sawamura, Oda, and Ren.

Although there is little hope for Akagi's comeback, it is definitely not without.

The most important thing is the strikeout that Sawamura just won, which is really amazing. When seeing the weakness of Akagi's defense, most of the audience believed that Tenryuji would continue to carry out the short batting offensive. As long as they can continue to park the ball in the direction of third base, then Tenryuji is very likely to get extra points.

In fact, Tenryuji , which is famous all over the country for its maneuverability, really adopted a bunt offensive. In order to match their speed advantage, the players ofTenryuji practice bunts, especially tactical bunts for a long time.

Except for a really limited few strong sticks, everyone else's bunt skills are pretty good. That's why they can accurately keep Sawamura's pitch on the third base side.

Tenryuji's eighth batter, when he stood in the strike zone, also assumed a bunt stance. However, his plan was seen through Sawamura, and he was deliberately mobilized from the beginning.

Sawamura's first shot was a very tricky high ball from the inside corner. The location of the shot was coincidentally exactly where the batter's right hand held the bat. Although the palm was completely hidden behind the bat, in such a position, the batter shrank his hand subconsciously, and the baseball came in from where his bat had been.

After a good shot, Sawamura's second shot was a big shot, and the baseball bounced off the ground and got into Ren's glove. This was also beyond the batter's expectations. He didn't have time to recover his bat, and he also calculated the bat.

After two strikes, Sawamura threw the third ball in the way he had just made a big shot.

The batter is not stupid. He can't hit the bounced ball with a short shot, so he took back his bat. It's just a pity that the ball was a good one.

And just like that, the batter was struck out.

In the bullpen of Tenryuji, the assistant coach muttered angrily: "Cut, luck is really bad."

On the last ball, if the batter didn't let it go, maybe Tenryuji could lead the opponent 3:1. 3:1 and 2:1, although they are only one point apart, they represent two completely different situations.

Akagi Middle School used to tie Nagano Metro by two points in the last game, but it was absolutely impossible for them to chase Tenryuji in the last game.

The reason is actually quite simple. Because Akagi Middle School needs the most feared two hitters. Sawamura Eijun and Aoi Ren are separated. Sawamura is the first, and Fengxiang is the third. In the second half of the sixth innings, it started from the eighth bar of Akagi.

"bad luck?"

The old man Yamano shook his head and muttered, but said nothing. Perhaps he was the only one who saw Sawamura's extraordinary pitching this time.

The sixth game, the second half. Akagi Middle School attacked.

"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout!"

"strike!"

"strike!"

"strike!"

"strike out!"

There was no slack. Even though Akagi's friends really worked hard, Nanami Haruna easily got two strikeouts from Akagi Middle School.

Not to mention his sharp changing ball, just the straight ball with his speed soaring to 130, is not something that the little friends of Akagi Middle School can handle.

With two outs and no hits, the batter got the first bat.

"First hit, pitcher, Sawamura-san!"

Originally, Sawamura played the first shot, even if he planned to fight Nanami Haruna in the sixth game. It's just a pity that Nanami Haruna didn't give Akagi so many opportunities to play. Except for his hits in the first inning, in other innings, whether it was him or Ren, Oda didn't get any effective hits from Nanami.

So the scene was embarrassing, and Sawamura had to stand in the strike zone with two outs. If Akagi Middle School still has the slightest chance, it's that he has to hit the base and get back to a home run.

"The chance is really not big~"

With a wry smile, Sawamura had no choice but to push hard. If he didn't get on, Akagi would have no chance at all.

Standing upright on the strike zone, the bat in Sawamura's hand swayed slightly, it seemed to be bigger than the real bat.

On the pitcher's mound, Nanami Haruna's eyes floated a little when he saw this scene.

He had seen Sawamura's attack method many times. In the Kanto Conference, and even in the national competition, there are many strong fights with such a standard preparation posture.

"Pitching looks like all kinds of strange things. But swinging is different. It's very normal."

To complain, Nanami Haruna's entire attention was focused on Sawamura. He had already dealt with Sawamura once before, and this time he still had the confidence to deal with Sawamura again.

As long as Sawamura is dealt with here, it will cut off all hope of Akagi.

Come on, let me show you my curveball, can you hit it?

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew to Sawamura's hand along a mysterious trajectory Sawamura swing the bat decisively, the bat and the baseball interlaced, and no one touched anyone.

"strike!"

The first ball was missed and the number of counts fell behind.

Sawamura's face became more solemn. Maybe it was his own illusion. He felt that the more Haruka Nanami threw the ball, the sharper the ball became.

"Hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Sawamura's eyes were fixed on Nanami Haruna, waiting for his second goal.

"Hey!"

Like a whistling arrow, the straight ball from the outside corner that caught people off guard made Sawamura subconsciously fail to react.

"Strike."

Two consecutive strikes, a straight ball mixed with sharp changing balls, coupled with smooth rhythm, a ball speed of 130 kilometers...

Nanami Haruna is a well-known super pitcher in the country.

Sawamura had to admire this. Although he has the experience, after all, he is not a player who is good at hitting, and his current physical fitness is not comparable to that of the peak of his previous life.

If he had the peak physical fitness in his previous life, with a 130-kilometer ball, he could completely wait for the ball to enter his hand before swinging the bat.

Now, this can only be a good wish.

When it seemed that his stamina was exhausted, Sawamura suddenly showed a bunting form.

A Bunt, at this time?

Seeing Sawamura take a bunting form, Nanami Haruna was stunned subconsciously. In his opinion, with Sawamura's speed, no matter how good he was in bunts, it would be difficult for him to get on base safely under the guard of Tenryuji.

Then this bunt will be very interesting!

Do you want to cheat?

How can it be so easy?

Nanami Haruna sneered and threw his third ball, a curveball.

"Whoosh!"
