Chapter 135: Genius Catcher Miyuki

STRIKEOUT!!!

Masuko swung his bat for the last time but failed to touch Narumiya's Forkball and was Struck Out.

With no Out, and runners on the first and third bases, Seidou High School only scored one point!

At this moment, Narumiya showed the deterrent power of a real Ace.

"Mei, he's so cool!"

"Mei-kun!"

From the stands, there were cheers and cheers one after another.

After Seidou scored the only point, Inashiro's supporters, whose momentum was somewhat weakened, were still a little lost, cheered for Narumiya Mei like crazy.

Even if he loses points, Narumiya Mei's spirit will not diminish in the slightest.

No, it even grew stronger and sharper.

In the second half of the fourth inning, Inajitsu attacked.

Rest area in Inashiro.

Narumiya Mei looked at Seidou's rest area angrily, and said to his teammates, "Please!"

Losing a point, Narumiya Mei felt that his heart was about to explode.

Now he can only ask his teammates for help and score points.

When Narumiya's teammates saw him, who was always prideful and confident, asking them like this, an overwhelming emotion suddenly rose in their hearts.

'Mei is asking like this!'

If they can't score points, what face do they have?

"Leave it to us," Shirakawa said calmly.

"Second batter, shortstop, Shirakawa-kun."

Shirakawa walked to the strike zone, the bat in his hand was tightly gripped by him.

In the dugout, Harada glanced at Narumiya and asked, "Are you still angry? It's only natural to lose a point in the situation just now."

No Out, runners at first and third base!

The batter was Yuuki, and then it was also the strong Batters Isashiki and Masuko…

Although Narumiya Mei, may not be able to solve them. But runners at third base, even if it is an infield grounder, the Seidou players will run!

In this case, a head-to-head confrontation is likely to cause a chain reaction.

In contrast, it is a good choice to really get the number of Outs.

However, if Mei has been immersed in his own emotions, the result will not be good.

"The opponent is Seidou, and I never thought about completely shutting them out," Narumiya said angrily.

"Then what?" Harada was puzzled.

"It's that stinky brat Eijun. I can't figure out how he can hit my Change-up." Mei said confused, frustrated, and angry.

Harada nodded: "It's a bit weird, he seems to be aiming at the Change-up."

'Aiming at the Change-up?'

Harada's words made Narumiya fall into deep thought.

Harada didn't say it, and Narumiya really didn't notice it. After Harada pointed it out and Narumiya thought about it, this is really the case. That brat Eijun's swing is not fast. If he hadn't aimed, it would have been difficult for him to seize the opportunity to strike.

Moreover, he also deliberately took a step outward.

'I shook my head before, did that guy see through it?' Narumiya guessed.

'For a batter like Sawamura and Yuuki, once they are guessed on the path of the ball, the result is very dangerous.' Harada was thinking about something else.

On the other side, the rest area of ​​Seidou.

When changing equipment, Miyuki communicated with Sawamura.

"I don't need to say more, you also know the importance of this inning, right?" Sawamura nodded.

Of course, he knew.

Seidou had just scored a point, and in the second half of the fourth inning, the turn of Inashiro's core lineup to play. It is conceivable that their attack must be crazy…

Right now, it would be very beneficial for Seidou to suppress Inashiro's lineup.

"Will we unlock it?"

Miyuki didn't elaborate on his words, but Sawamura already understood what he meant.

"Let's do it depending on the situation," Sawamura said.

Back on the field, Sawamura stood on the mound and looked at Shirakawa on the strike zone.

Shirakawa's eyes looked dangerous.

His stance is so easy-going that it doesn't seem like there is any conspiracy.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki also noticed Shirakawa's strange behavior.

'His legs are very close to each other.'

If another Batter had done this, Miyuki wouldn't have thought too much. But if the batter was Shirakawa, Miyuki couldn't help thinking about such a strange position.

'He clearly has plans!'

Although he didn't know what Shirakawa was thinking, Miyuki was keenly aware that Shirakawa must have a plan.

What is he going to do?

Before Shirakawa's swing, Miyuki really couldn't guess.

However, from the perspective of Game calling, he and Sawamura have been using Moving balls before, and the Moving ball is very likely to be targeted in this round!

'Use a Ball first, to test him!'

Miyuki gave Sawamura a sign.

Although a Ball consumes Sawamura's count too, But when the opponent's intentions are unclear, you can also get more information by testing with Balls.

Bring it on!

Seeing the sign Miyuki gave him, Sawamura nodded and then threw the ball.

Whoosh!

The arm swings like a whip, and then the ball is thrown steadily.

On the strike zone, Shirakawa's original standing stance suddenly changed. He stepped forward toward the mound and aimed for the ball, intending to swing.

'Wait wait wait!'

'The ball won't go into the strike zone!'

Shirakawa's eyes are so sharp. Although Sawamura's pitching looks fast, he can also keenly detect Strikes and Balls.

Shirakawa's movements, halfway through, stopped.

SNAP!

"BALL!"

Although this ball was a Ball, Miyuki already learned everything that he wanted to know.

'Hehe~'

'It turned out to be the case, the response is really fast!'

Sawamura's Moving ball began to break when it got to the batter's hand. The method that Shirakawa came up with is very simple. He stepped forward, He's going to hit the ball before it gets to the plate.

'Nice idea!'

If he and Sawamura really threw a Moving ball just now, Shirakawa might have hit them hard.

But now, Shirakawa's strategy has been exposed.

It's not a problem to solve him.

When Shirakawa returned to his position, Miyuki gave Sawamura a sign.

Second ball, Change-up!

On the mound, Sawamura nodded and threw the ball.

He spent two years with Miyuki. Sawamura is familiar with Miyuki's Game calling. Now, he has rich experience in his before he returned to the past.

Now looking at Miyuki's calling, Sawamura even has a feeling of blessing to the soul.

"This guy is really a genius!"

Before Sawamura went back to the past, Miyuki's performance in professional baseball was amazing.

Whoosh!

Sawamura's Change-up successfully disrupted Shirakawa's rhythm.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

The count is one Strike and one Ball.

On the third ball, Sawamura threw a Straight Fastball according to Miyuki's instructions.

Shirakawa swung his bat for the second time and failed.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

The count is two Strike and one Ball.

Shirakawa was chased.

'Damn, damn, damn!!!'

With Shirakawa's intelligence, he also knew that he was exposed.

This guy, Miyuki, obviously guessed that he was aiming at the Moving ball.

'In this case, the strategy has to be readjusted.'

Shirakawa spread his legs apart, ready to swing normally.

In the position of the catcher, the corners of Miyuki's mouth cracked, showing a bit of a smile.

'Let's solve him with the next ball.'

The fourth ball is Moving ball!

Ping!

The white ball was hit and landed right in front of the shortstop.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

Like a cheetah, Kuramochi rushed forward, picked up the ball, and passed it to first base.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

On the strike zone, Shirakawa's face was as pale as if he had eaten something rotten.

He turned his head to look at Miyuki in the position of the catcher.

'I really don't like this guy!'

In the end, he actually gave him what he wanted.

But not like how he wanted it.
