Chapter 112: Only the attack is left!

Sawamura showed an unparalleled presence on the mound.

He used practical actions to tell Seidou's players not to worry about pitching, and he would not let Hakuryu High School get even one more point.

"Then our task is simple, we only need to attack to recover the lead."

Kuramochi shook his shoulders, eagerly preparing for the attack.

On the other side, the rest area of ​​Hakuryu High School.

Sasaki frowned and looked at Seidou's rest area, especially at Sawamura who was sitting on the rest chair as if he was about to fall asleep.

To be honest, it wasn't long before he took over the responsibility of Superintendent of Hakuryu, but in this short time, he also followed Hakuryu to meet a lot of powerful people.

In this country, there are countless great players among high school students.

A daunting Batter, a terrifying pitcher with a ball speed approaching 150 km/h

After all, there are all kinds of things.

Some players, even when compared to professional baseball players, are not necessarily inferior.

But no matter how powerful they are, they are ultimately flawed. They were all high school students after all.

During Sasaki's time as a superintendent, he had never seen a pitcher like Sawamura, not only strong but most terrifyingly stable and comprehensive.

In addition to his physical fitness, Sawamura has absolutely no trace of a young student. He is like a professional Ace who has experienced many battles. No matter when he is, he shows his strength very calmly.

The ability to understand the game, this ability, even for a pitcher on a professional field, is the most important thing.

Unless his luck is really bad, Sasaki himself has a hard time imagining Sawamura losing points.

"I have to say, Coach Kataoka, you really picked up a big treasure."

When Sasaki opened the lid of the stopwatch and turned to face his students, he had regained his calm and composed look.

"To be honest, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get consecutive hits and score from Sawamura-kun."

Sasaki did not hide this fact, On the contrary, he stated it bluntly.

"It doesn't matter, we and Seidou are not in the same competition area. Before Koshien, we will not play against each other. In this case, we just need to think about this game. Now we are still two points ahead, make good use of these two points, as long as we don't let Seidou score, the scale of victory will definitely be tilted in our favor. As for Seidou and Sawamura, let the West Tokyo teams have this headache."

"Miyano, it's up to you."

After Sasaki finished speaking, all the players of the Hakuryu High School looked at Miyano Kagami.

"Don't, I can't bear such a lot of pressure."

Miyano, shaking his head like a rattle, refuses to accept Sasaki's praise and trust.

His own Ace, at a critical time, was like this.

It really made Hakuryu's little players smile bitterly.

Sasaki was even more embarrassed. He finally mustered up the courage to say a few words to boost morale.

Watching everyone focus their attention on him.

Miyano raised his hand in surrender.

"I try my best, I try my best. But Seidou's lineup is very strong, and I can't guarantee that the ball will not be hit."

Miyano said sullenly.

After he finished speaking, the expression of the hippie smile on his face disappeared, and he became serious.

"If I can't hold it, the defense behind me will be up to you."

In the second half of the fifth inning, Seidou attacked.

The reason why Kuramochi is positive is because this blow is just in his turn.

"OUT!"

"OUT!!!"

Sakai and Shiratsu are out.

They also worked hard. Shiratsu hit the ball into the neutral position and was stopped by the shortstop of Hakuryu High School in cooperation with the third baseman who had just entered the field.

Sakai played a high to the outfield and was picked up.

In the stands.

"This is our Hakuryu's mobile fielders."

"You still want to catch up with us? Dream on."

"These two points are Seidou's funeral points."

The audience who supported Hakuryu began to make noise.

The pressure brought by Sawamura's pitching was so great that these spectators couldn't remain calm.

"It's so noisy!"

Kuramochi pouted and went to the strike zone.

Two Outs, no one on base.

It's really not a good situation for him.

However, if he can get to base, he will never give up. No matter what, you have to get a hit first and connect to Sawamura and Tetsu-san.

'Bring it on!'

The bat in his hand was raised, and Kuramochi made a normal stance.

'Are you going to strike normally?'

In the position of the catcher, Takehara felt a little relieved.

Although Kuramochi has not made any achievements so far, his speed is really scary.

It would be ideal if Kuramochi could choose to strike normally.

However, it is no wonder that the previous two stealing bases failed. Kuramochi's defense against the Hakuryu should be very apprehensive, right?

Takehara chuckled and gave Miyano a sign.

On the pitcher's mound, Miyano nodded and pitched the ball.

Whoosh!

It wasn't until the ball was released that Kuramochi changed his stance.

'Do you think that after two times, this uncle will not dare to bunt?'

'Hah, too naïve.'

'The uncle is Kuramochi Yoichi.'

'Those who retreat after one failure are cowards, those who retreat after two failures are self-proclaimed smart people, and those who dare to continue to persevere after two failures are geniuses.' (Idiots)

'I am a genius! Super genius!'

After the ball was knocked out, Kuramochi flew to first base.

The third baseman, who was just replaced, was very puzzled.

'This guy's bunts aren't that good, are you giving us an easy Out?'

He went up to pick up the ball, then passed to first base.

When he turned his head, he was scared shitless.

'What is that?'

Kuramochi had already run a dozen meters, and he was only a few meters away from first base.

He hurriedly raised his arm to pass the ball.

In a hurry, he passed the ball a little too far.

When Kitaooji caught the ball, it was a little off, and his foot left the first base bag.

At the same time, Kuramochi stomped the first base with one foot.

"Safe!"

Two Outs, runner at first base.

At this time, Hakuryu made a mistake.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

Kuramochi laughs loudly, very happy with his success.

Seidou's rest area.

Kataoka grunted coldly from his nose.

'This Idiot!'

Miyuki smiled wryly.

"This guy is too reckless."

Sawamura heard that Miyuki was 'inciting' others on Kuramochi. As a kohai in the same dormitory, how could he not save his senpai? Otherwise, it will leave a bad impression in the superintendent's mind.

It is conceivable that Kataoka will definitely make Kuramochi into a meal of fried pork with bamboo shoots.

"He was aiming for a bunt on the third base, and the third baseman just came on the field and hasn't adapted to the rhythm of the game. It's not an accident that the fielder will make mistakes."

Sawamura defended Kuramochi in vain.

Miyuki looked at the 'kind-hearted' Sawamura in horror.

'This guy is too bad.'

After two Outs, Kataoka gave no instructions to Kuramochi. It means letting him figure it out and choose the best method to hit a base.

Kuramochi can strike and of course strike.

As long as he thinks that's the best way to get to base at the time.

Miyuki's superficial criticism was actually regarded as Kuramochi's explanation and defense.

On the other hand, Sawamura was the exact opposite. He seemed to defend Kuramochi, but in fact, he was pushing him into the mud.

'Betting on the mistakes of the Hakuryu players?'

But this 'defense' has touched the bottom line of Kataoka.

Sure enough, hearing Sawamura's words, Kataoka's face sank.

Sawamura looked innocent~
