Chapter 141: Not Holding Back!

The game continues!

This time, Narumiya had to face the upper line of Seidou High School.

"First batter, shortstop, Kuramochi!"

From the very beginning, Kuramochi made a stance of wanting to bunt.

The fighting spirit in his eyes is very strong.

Although Seidou High School scored points before, he was the starter, but he didn't show any performance.

'Bring it on!!!'

He looked eagerly at Narumiya on the pitcher's mound, waiting for Narumiya to throw the ball over.

On the pitcher's mound, facing Kuramochi's bunt stance that was deliberately displayed, Narumiya did not flinch at all and threw the ball powerfully.

Whoosh!

The small white ball was like laser light, passing through.

Facing this sharp Pitch, Kuramochi resolutely retracted the bat and hit it again.

'Don't think I can only run the bases!'

Ping!

The white ball bounced off the ground and arrived right in front of the Shirakawa.

Shirakawa picked up the ball neatly and sent it to first base.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Even with Kuramochi's extremely fast speed, in such a short time, he didn't run across the strike zone to halfway to first base.

'Damn, I was baited!'

The ball thrown by Narumiya was not an ordinary Straight ball at all. The ball sank suddenly before it entered the home plate.

That's a Forkball!

Pitchers generally don't throw breaking balls when facing the batter with a bunt.

Throwing the Breaking ball can certainly increase the difficulty of making contact with the ball, but at the same time, the power and speed of the ball will also be weakened to a certain extent.

In this case, it is easier to hit the ball forward with a bunt as long as you can make contact, because the Breaking ball is not as strong as a Straight ball, it is easier to unload the ball during the bunt.

Just now, if Kuramochi really bunted, he might have a chance.

But instead of doing that, he used slash bunt instead.

The battery of Inajitsu obviously guessed this in advance, otherwise, they would not use the Breaking ball to deal with him!

"Second Batter, second baseman, Kominato-kun!"

It was Kominato Ryosuke's turn at bat.

For Narumiya Mei, this is definitely an opponent that gives him a headache.

The catcher Harada was a little hesitant when he gave the calling to Narumiya.

It feels like Kominato Ryosuke can touch the ball no matter what ball he will ask Mei to throw.

This is more troublesome!

'There's no need to think so much! No matter how good Kominato-senpai is, he still has his own flaws. Although he swept the ball out before, it doesn't mean that his flaws don't exist!'

Whoosh!

Narumiya Mei's own brain is very clear now. In the face of Kominato Ryosuke, who has extremely high batting skills, he carried out the offensive of outside corner balls.

The effect is still very good!

At the beginning, he struggled with a few balls, and in the end, Kominato Ryosuke had to hit the ball forward.

Ping!

The power of the ball is too strong and the speed of the ball is too fast. Even if he has the intention to hit out of bounds, not every ball can be Fouled!

When entangled to the seventh ball, the ball flew high.

Although the landing point is still out of bounds, the ball is not difficult to catch.

At the first base, the first baseman of Inajitsu raised his Mitt and stably caught the ball in his Mitt.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Seven balls!

For another batter, it is like a miracle, but for Ryosuke, it is barely a warm-up.

'Tsk, this guy is too hard to hit!' Ryosuke thought while returning to the dugout.

Two Outs, no one on base.

In the first half of the sixth game, it was Seidou's lineup third round.

Seidou High School, which is only one point ahead, of course, wants to take this good opportunity to continue to expand the score!

It's just that their sharp offensive was resolved one by one in Narumiya Mei's hands.

"They are really tough!" Sawamura said with emotion.

After being cornered by him, Inajitsu not only did not slow down but instead became more and more courageous, showing a different toughness.

Sawamura has to admire the momentum that such a strong team should have!

Objectively, Inajitsu is really a very good team!

Not only the individual skills of their players are outstanding, but also their mental strength is outstanding.

In the memory of Sawamura, before he returned to the past, in this game, they played very fiercely with Inashiro in this game.

Even after more than ten years have passed, Sawamura still remembers it.

He clearly remembered every detail of the game.

It was a very intense, harsh, and eye-opening game for him back then.

At that time, Seidou High School played very smoothly and even took the lead until the end.

But in the end, it was reversed by Inajitsu at the last moment.

In the first half of the sixth inning, there were two Outs and no one hit the base.

Now is the time for Seidou High School to attack. After two Outs, it was Sawamura who stood on the strike zone.

"Sawamura!"

"Sawamura!!!"

"Seidou!"

"Demon King!!"

Seeing Sawamura stand on the zone to hit, the audience immediately burst into earth-shattering cheers.

Sawamuras walk-up song 'Abarenbou Shogun' started playing.

Members of the Brotherhood of Red Hearts and the Demon King's Guard, needless to say, started cheering and singing too. More than 20,000 fans came to the scene, and 10,000 also supported Seidou High School.

In terms of the total number of supporters, Seidou High School faintly surpassed Inajitsu.

In this game, Narumiya played extremely well.

And Seidou's fourth batter, Yuuki Tetsuya, the one with the strongest batting strength, was constantly resolved.

So far, Seidou High School has only had three effective hits.

It was the first time for Seidou to be suppressed to such an extent by a pitcher since Sawamura and the others joined Seidou High School, the new Seidou baseball team was established.

Of course, not everyone is bad!

In the previous two at-bats, at least Sawamura Eijun's performance was still very good.

He hit the ball twice, including a nice long hit!

The situation of the game was already dominant. It was Sawamura who had performed well before.

It's no wonder that the supporters of Seidou are going crazy.

In the stands of the Inajitsu supporters, it was gloomy and scary.

Sawamura's grandfather also sat there honestly, not daring to speak.

Although the old man was courageous, he didn't dare to do so

The bat in Sawamura's hand was raised high, and he stared at Narumiya without blinking.

'Ano, Mei-san, would you like to throw another Change-up?'

Of all the pitches of Narumiya, the one that Sawamura is most sure to hit is the Change-up!

Right now, if Mei throws a Change-up for Eijun to hit, this Eijun will be grateful.

But it is a pity that his beautiful wish is destined to be only an extravagant wish!

'How could it be possible to trip over the same stone twice?'

Until now, he hasn't figured out how Sawamura sees through his own Change-up. Of course, it is impossible for him to be stupid and throw the Change-up at Sawamura!

Whoosh!

Straight ball!

Seeing the sharp Straight ball, Sawamura chose to let it go.

150 km/h of Straight ball, plus strong ball power, tricky angle.

The probability of Sawamura being able to hit the ball steadily can't be said to be non-existent.

But it's really not big!

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

On the first Straight ball, Sawamura didn't swing.

After that, Sawamura still did not swing in the face of Narumiya Mei's second ball.

SNAP!

The same sharp inside corner ball, and when it reached the inside corner, it slid!

It's a Slider!

'Damn it, this guy is not holding back!'
