Sawamura VS Yokozuna

After Yamanaka Shikanosuke stood in the strike zone, he also assumed a bunt stance.

His motivations are fairly obvious.

"Would you like to cover the runners to third base?"

Sawamura glanced at the Yamanaka and thought vigilantly in his heart.

He has to admire the excellent tactical training at Yokozuna Middle School.

As far as this short play is concerned, it is definitely not something that ordinary middle schools can do. The runner on second base steals the third base, and the batter cooperates at this time, putting on a bunt stance. It will be very easy to put everyone's attention on yourself.

In this way, on the one hand, it provides cover for the runner, and on the other hand, because of the bunt, he can bend down very reasonably. In this way, the shape of the hitter, to a certain extent, obstructs the catcher's sight.

When the pitcher pitched the ball, the batter suddenly retracted his bunt bat. The ball that would have been short-hit suddenly slipped into his glove. How would the catcher react?

No matter how strong the catcher's psychological qualities are, he was undoubtedly caught off guard to some extent.

Missing an inch is a thousand miles away!

A runner can steal bases as long as there is a slight time difference.

Such little tricks, when Sawamura was in the major leagues, he had seen countless.

But where exactly is that? There are major leagues!

The baseball players gathered there are among the best in any country in the world. They have taken baseball to another level.

It's a little trick that belongs to the major leagues, and it appears in the middle school game, which makes people speechless.

From this point, we can also see the strength of Yokozuna Middle School, this team. Compared with them, the original three kings of Nagano County were nothing but chickens and dogs, vulnerable to a single blow.

Not to mention the strength, the tactics are too amateur!

"It's just a shame that such simple tricks don't work for me."

On the pitcher's mound, a sneer appeared on the corner of Sawamura's mouth.

Thinking about it, Sawamura secretly adjusted his position, and then threw his ball with all his strength.

The small white ball flew towards the catcher's glove like a laser beam.

Ball! And it's an ultra-low-angle bad shot!

If the batter wants to bunt, such a ball is extremely difficult to touch.

Nishimura, who had already left the second base and touched the third base, started with all his strength and flew towards the third base when Sawamura made the pitching motion.

"Steal the base!"

Nobu exclaimed.

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura looked indifferent. Things had progressed exactly as he had predicted, and he had previously given Ren a secret signal. Now as long as Ren catches the baseball and passes it to Yamaguchi at third base.

If Ren was not mentally prepared, Yokozuna Middle School's tactic had a high chance of success.

But since Sawamura gave Ren a secret signal, and now Ren is psychologically prepared, the stealing of bases at Yokozuna Middle School at this time is equivalent to sending out the number of games.

Almost at the same time, Yamanaka, who was originally holding the short bat, took the bat back just as he had written the script and acted accordingly.

"Nice job!" said Sawamura in his heart.

Wait, wait a minute!

Sawamura's smile hadn't fully formed, and he stood motionless as if frozen.

Yamanaka had retracted the bat, he swung the bat out again.

This guy actually cheated!

Wait, no, it's not that simple.

At the same time that Yamanaka was swinging his bat, Nishimura was stealing bases.

It's a hit-and-run!

Sawamura felt incredible after realising this.

Such tactical execution by a Yokozuna Middle School player is very close to professional baseball.

How did they practice?

No one could answer Sawamura's question.

Fortunately, Sawamura himself did not expect anyone to answer him.

Sawamura now has more pressing matters to attend to.

"Clang!"

The baseball that was tricked into playing flew straight to Sawamura.

Sawamura, of course, had calculated this point. Sawamura's position on the pitcher's mound was originally infinitely close to first base, so his ball was thrown in a large-angled oblique line. When the ball struck the bat and rebounded, it also rebounded at the angle of the oblique line, bouncing in the direction of third base.

Sawamura quietly adjusted his position before pitching this time, realising that the opponent might be taking a short walk. He's throwing a straight line now!

If the ball lands directly in the catcher's glove and everything goes as expected, that's certainly the best outcome.

However, if the opponent is determined to bunt or cheat, Sawamura has preventive measures in place.

Even if it is hit, the ultra-low-angle ball that flies in a straight line will bounce back to the pitcher.

Just like right now!

The small white ball rolled directly into Sawamura's open glove.

After Sawamura received the ball, he did not pass to third base, because it was too late to pass to third base at this time!

Sawamura put the ball directly into the hands of first base Oda Kazuto and blocked the batter Yamanaka out of the game.

The situation had deteriorated to two outs with someone on third base!

The audience was dizzied to watch this lightning-quick confrontation.

fantastic!

The only regret is that they did not notice what was happening.

Who was victorious in this battle?

To put it bluntly, when a runner goes to third base, he has one foot on home plate. But at the same time, Sawamura scored another elimination.

The game ended in a tie.

"Two outs!"

With the situation evenly matched, Sawamura was the first to speak, giving the impression that they had taken advantage.

"There are two out!"

"Let them contact!"

These little Akagi Middle School friends are indeed old partners who have worked with Sawamura for over a year.

They understood as soon as Sawamura spoke.

The first strike, as the saying goes, is stronger, and the second strike suffers. At this time, it is undoubtedly beneficial to speak first and take the initiative on your own side.

The audience had no idea what was going on, but Akagi spoke first at this point, and they did score two outs.

Akagi appears to have won the fierce battle just now!

"Akagi! Akagi!!"

Never underestimate the maliciousness of people. When these melon eaters saw that Giant Yokozuna Middle School had been suppressed, their dark thoughts exploded.

Vaguely, they were looking forward to it. Looking forward to the moment when the boat capsized in the gutter of the national hegemon Yokozuna Middle School!

In such an atmosphere, the players of Yokozuna Middle School felt very aggrieved one by one.

They had a very powerless feeling against Akagi, especially against the pitcher on the mound.

It seems that no matter what they do, there is no way to escape each other's palms.

"Fourth, first baseman, Otomo!"

Even if their batter was at the core of the fourth bat at this time, and there were still people at third base, there was no way to dispel the haze in their hearts.
