The Iron Wall of Akagi

"come on!"

"Strike out!!"

Shirun's family and friends group frantically cheered Shirun's players.

It looked like he could get a grade from Akagi Middle School right away.

On the stand on the side of third base, the large Fatty looked at the stand opposite in surprise. At this time, let alone his partner, even he could see that Shirun Middle School was abnormal.

They didn't seem so excited when the previous pitcher hit a home run. Now, how suddenly?

Did that pitcher put so much pressure on them?

Fatty didn't understand, but he still remembered the name of the pitcher from Akagi Middle School.

Sawamura, Sawamura Eijun!

Relying only on the speed of the ball less than 130 kilometers, he suppressed Shirun's temper by hitting the line. To be honest, it is rare to see such a pitcher.

Some other team's ace pitchers, despite having a good fielding success rate, even closed several times. But most of it depends on the strong defense of the team, and it is definitely not enough to rely on them alone.

Akagi Middle School is different!

The garrison of Akagi Middle School is almost like nothing. All of their outs were basically won by the pitcher alone. Even if it was the three pitches that were hit before, if another team was used to defend, it would be absolutely impossible for such pitch to be hit.

Whether flying high or rebounding in the infield, these are almost always the ball paths that are sure to be out. But Shirun's player was stunned to hit a hit with such a ball.

In Fatty's opinion, Sawamura is simply charging with a group of pig teammates. No matter how strong Sawamura is, it will be difficult for him to win this victory.

There is a saying that is good, don't be afraid of opponents like gods, but be afraid of teammates like pigs!

Friends who have played League of Legends should know that with a pig-like teammate, no matter how well you play, it is difficult to win.

Not to mention that there are more than one pig teammates brought by Sawamura.

How strong is Sawamura?

Although he didn't end up in the field and tried to compete with him in person, Fatty also saw that Sawamura's pitching skills should be extremely terrifying. In Nagano Prefecture, there are not even five pitchers with his strength.

It's just a pity that such a pitcher went to Akagi.

What a waste!

"Time!"

The game continued. After Shirun Middle School's 4th batter hit, Sawamura gaveRen a secret signal.

Ren understood and immediately applied for a timeout with the referee, and then he and his infield friends all focused on the pitching mound.

"The strength of Shirun's batter is stronger than I imagined!"

Before waiting for any questions from the friends around him, Sawamura took the initiative and said, "Now they have gradually caught the rhythm of my pitching, and if they follow the original pitching method, I am afraid they will inevitably be thrown out."

When he heard Sawamura say this, Yamaguchi looked ashamed.

Just now, if it wasn't for his mistake. Shirun's runners also don't go to second base.

Before the start of the game, Sawamura had warned that the opponent's batter could go to first base. Because he can control the base, but once the batter from Shirun Middle School reaches second base.

It's hard to say what kind of attack Shirun will take next.

If Sawamura is such a professional, Akagi's friends certainly don't understand. But it means, they can understand. That is to say, the threat of a runner at first base is completely different from the threat at second base.

Once the opponent's runner gets to second base, Akagi is likely to lose points.

Yamaguchi couldn't forgive himself. He knew how crucial this game was, and any mistake could ruin his hopes of winning the game. He also made such a big mistake, that ball, he should be able to catch it.

"Don't take it to heart, everyone makes mistakes."

Sawamura reassured Yamaguchi in disbelief.

Yamaguchi looked at Sawamura gratefully, as if he was going to rub his head on the ground.

"The ball is very likely to be hit, what are your plans?"

Ren asked directly.

To be honest, the Akagi Middle School baseball team had too little training time, and their garrison was useless.

In this way, no matter how good Sawamura's pitching is, as long as the opponent can hit the ball, they will definitely get a hit. Aoi Ren does not think that Sawamura can survive this scene without using the change ball.

After all, Sawamura's ball speed is not fast enough for the batter to hit.

From Shirun's standpoint, they don't even have to play well. As long as the bat can touch the ball, there is a high probability of hitting base.

"What can we do? Soldiers come to block water and earth to cover."

Sawamura smiled confidently, and then whispered a few words.

"Can you do it?"

"Would it be too risky to say that?"

"just in case…"

When the friends listened to Sawamura's strategy, they were all uncertain.

They feel that the plan is good, but they also feel that it is not safe.

"It's fine! Trust me!"

Sawamura said with a smile: "Then it's time to let them see, our Akagi Middle School is an iron-clad defensive force!"

The last sentence, Sawamura said very loudly.

Not only the friends of Akagi around the pitcher's mound heard it, but even the friends from Shirun Middle School who were more than ten meters away from them heard it clearly.

An iron wall-like defense! Akagi?

When I heard this statement, my friend from Shirun Middle School first thought that he had heard it wrong.

This is not a joke, they really thought they heard it wrong.

Through these few games, they actually recognized the honesty and strength in their hearts. Especially the strength of pitcher Sawamura and catcher Aoi Ren.

To be honest, they think Akagi Middle School is even better than them in some aspects. But when it comes to Akagi's defense, Shirun Middle School's players are absolutely unacceptable.

Compared with wooden stakes, the only advantage they have is that they can move slowly like a snail.

Such garrison, to say that they are full of loopholes, is a compliment to them. Their defenses are basically useless.

Sawamura was able to shamelessly shout out the word iron wall, which really surprised them.

Especially when this word was associated with Akagi's defense, they couldn't accept it.

None of Shi Lun's friends took Sawamura's words to heart. What to do when they hit, especially their four sticks, they are all determined to hit the ball.

The game resumed, and Sawamura threw his first pitch.

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball, like a shooting star, streaked across the outer corner of the strike zone.

"Bang!"

"nice pitch!!"

Shirun's four bats, the first ball did not swing.

He originally felt that the ball should have a strike zone.

"The ball control is so good."

Not only the speed of the ball, but also Sawamura's control of the ball left him speechless.

"Whoosh!"

Without allowing him to think too much, Sawamura's second shot followed.
