Any growth has a price. Since there are successful defenses, there is no shortage of defense mistakes.
Among them, Sawamura lost a full thirteen hits due to a defensive error.
Once there was a danger of losing points, Sawamura immediately struck out his opponent to get the number of eliminations. Of course, there were times when it wasn't enough to save, so Akagi lost three points. Fortunately, Oda, Ren and Sawamura cooperated well and also scored three points.
At the end of the sixth game, the score was 5:3, with Akagi taking the lead.
At this time, two special audience members rushed over from the stand. These two were the ones who watched the competition between Akagi Middle School and Shirun Middle School, Fatty and Pretty Boy. As soon as the two entered the venue, they found the strangeness of the audience.
"Akagi comedy group, it's your turn!"
"Using your superb defense, let your opponent submit."
"we support you!"
At this time, the audience at the scene, except the relatives and friends of Kitano Middle School and their classmates. All the other neutral fans were completely seduced by the performance of Akagi Middle School. They stood on the side of Akagi Middle School with a clear-cut stand and cheered for Akagi Middle School.
This team is very interesting.
When players are defending, they often show jaw-dropping defensive movements.
The high-flying ball, missed one meter away! Roll the ball and fall somersault while picking up the ball! Passing restraint, a hundred and eight thousand miles away...
Only what you can't think of, nothing they can't do. The little friends of Akagi Middle School, in the interpretation of defense mistakes, the performance is textbook level.
If it is said that Akagi Middle School is a bad team, then there is nothing to say. The most interesting thing is that Akagi Middle School is still a strong team.
A super strong team that can play the opponent Kitano Middle School in the palm of their hand.
As the saying goes, the authorities are obsessed, and the bystanders are clear. Although the players of Kitano thought they were still playing a very intense game, there were spectators on the sidelines. I have seen it very clearly.
There is a huge gap in the strength of these two teams!
Although there are more than half of Akagi Middle School, they cannot be called rookies in combat power, but as the core players, the pitchers, catchers, and first basemen are all very strong.
It wasn't very obvious when they originally played against Shirun Middle School. But when compared with Kitano Middle School, this gap is immediately apparent.
For Kitano Middle School, the strength of Sawamura and Ren is foul level. They can score almost as much as they want, and they can take outs if they want to.
Three experienced players, with six baseball rookies, stunned Kitano Middle School.
If it weren't for taking Kitano Middle School to hone the players. This game is probably over already!
On a hot day, who can watch the ball against the sun, who is not a baseball fanatic?
As senior fans, they are very aware of the potential of the Akagi team. With a pitcher like Sawamura Eijun and a catcher like Aoi Ren!
Akagi Middle School will not be dull for too long. Sooner or later, they will challenge the peak of Nagano.
As long as you think of yourself, you can witness this scene with your own eyes. The audience was thrilled!
So exciting!
Despite the current Akagi, there are still many shortcomings. But they all believed that in the future Nagano, there must be a place for Akagi Middle School.
After all, Sawamura Eijun was only in the first year, and even Aoi Ren was only in the second year.
They still have enough time to grow.
"5:3, thirteen hits, three runs."
Fatty looked at the scoreboard angrily, feeling a little unreal.
He had watched Sawamura pitch before, and had a clear judgment of Sawamura's strength. Although Sawamura is only a first-year player, his pitching ability is definitely in the top five in Nagano.
With such strength, even if they were to compete with Sawamura, it would be difficult for them to get more than ten hits from Sawamura.
Is Kitano Middle School really that strong? Or maybe he was wrong about Sawamura before.
"Hee hee, you're so bold!"
The pretty boy shook his head and looked at the pitcher's mound.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura was seriously preparing to pitch.
"This guy has directly used Kitano as a practice object."
The pretty boy can be sure that Sawamura Eijun deliberately let the players of Kitano Middle School hit the ball, the purpose is to race against time to strengthen the defense of Akagi Middle School.
In other words, Akagi Middle School did not take Kitano Middle School as an opponent at all. At the beginning of the game, their goal is to place tomorrow's game.
A small team that has just been established, if they don't say it themselves, who can imagine that they will have such ambition and courage?
The pretty boy never imagined that Sawamura would directly aim for the top eight!
No, it's not just the top eight. Even tomorrow's game he has calculated in advance.
Nagano Metropolitan Middle School!
Nagano Metropolis, one of the three kings of Nagano Prefecture. All the members are absolute elites who came directly from Junior League.
Nagano Metropolis! Okita Middle School! Tenryuji Temple!
The Three Kings of Nagano have taken turns to be the champions of Nagano for more than 20 years.
It was the first time I saw Akagi play, and the first time I saw Sawamura. The pretty boy had a hunch that sooner or later, Sawamura would challenge the three kings of Nagano.
But he never thought that this day would come so quickly.
"really interesting!"
The eyes of the pretty boy changed and became extremely cold.
From his body, an aura that belongs only to the strong radiates faintly.
At this time, Sawamura had already scored three eliminations. In the last round, the friends also worked hard, and there were no more mistakes.
The Akagi Middle School baseball team entered the quarterfinals for the first time in the Nagano qualifiers for the national competition.
As if he had a hunch, Sawamura noticed the two uninvited guests in the stands.
"Those two guys should be our opponents in the next game, right?"
Sawamura had collected information on Nagano Metropolitan Middle School before, and these two guys were the core players of Nagano Metropolitan Middle School. Sawamura can't remember the specific names, but the two of them should be good in my impression.
Ren nodded his head: "Nagano Metropolitan, the original backup pitcher Marian Yasu and the backup catcher Saburo Tsuchihara."
"Senpai isn't that, your teammates are defeated by them?"
Sawamura said with a smile.
Ren shook his head: "At the time, Nagano was full of young talents, and the players in each position were chosen one in a hundred. Although these two guys were both substitutes at the beginning, they relied on their own strength when they won the national runner-up. The main force to win other positions..."
In other words, both of them have a very strong blow!
Nagano Metropolitan Middle School, to a certain extent, just restrained the current Akagi.
