Chapter 187: Giving Him The Fight

In the second half of the eighth inning, Sawamura suddenly changed his previous strategy of taking it easy and wanted to have a showdown with Hongou.

"Do not be impulsive."

Chris originally wanted to persuade Sawamura, but looking at Sawamura's Cat eyes, looking impatient, he opened his mouth to persuade him, but he didn't say it after all.

"I am not. Since this guy wants a fight, I will give him one." Sawamura said annoyed.

Seeing Sawamura's childish performance, the Players of Seidou High School all laughed.

"Oi! Stop being childish!"

"This game is likely to have a playoff."

"Now is not the time for those eyes!"

"Trust our defense and pitch with confidence, and we're never going to let the Komadai get a single hit even if you use the Moving ball."

The Senpais began to persuade Sawamura in a row.

Before they knew it, their nerves that were originally tense were relaxed at some point.

"It's the eighth inning now, what shit stamina is needed? I will do my best for the rest of the game, all we need to do is to smash this Snowball on his butt with the runner-up trophy and send him back!" Sawamura said loudly.

These words sounded like a dull bell, resounding in the hearts of the Seidou players.

Before they knew it, they were mentally prepared to play extra innings. However, in fact, the chance that Komadai can turn the game is almost gone and they will not allow it.

When the first half of the ninth inning starts, it will be Ryosuke's turn to attack, which means the Cleanup turn.

This is the second time they have played against Hongou, and it will be a big shame if they, the strongest lineup in high school, couldn't score from this freshman.

"Bring it on!" The Captain said it loudly.

"Stinky brat, don't trip and crumple on yourself!" Isashiki also agreed.

"Hyaa-ha-haa, you kid is sure lively."

"Ugaah!" Masuko's eyes became hot.

Ryosuke smiled and said nothing.

At this moment, they are determined, and they firmly believe that it is them who will win.

In the rest area, Coach Ochiai grabbed the goatee on his chin and almost pulled it off while shuddering.

He also served as a coach from a Famous School before, and there were a lot of times when he went to Koshien with the players.

He is very aware of the kind of torture to the players when the Koshien matches are in a stalemate. The players from Seidou High School are considered to be performing well under this pressure. Many people crumpled under it or even collapsed due to a lot of physical exhaustion.

On the contrary, it was the first time Ochiai had seen someone like Sawamura who could rescue his teammates from this painful stress with just a few words.

The game continues.

In the second half of the eighth inning, the Komadai Fujimaki High School attacked.

Right now, it was the Komadai's fourth batter, the backup outfielder who played for catcher Sato.

Facing this opponent, Chris was not holding back and directly gave Sawamura the sign for a Crossfire.

Sawamura Eijun is a left-hander, and the outfielder is a right-hander.

From the ball in Sawamura's hand, throwing it to the limit of the inside corner, from the perspective of the Batter, the ball seemed to hit him, and there was no way to swing the bat at all.

Adding Sawamura's increased speed makes it more deadly to the right-handed batters.

Whoosh!

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

With two Strikes in a row, Sawamura Eijun easily scored two Strikes, chasing the batter.

When it came to the third ball, the chased Batter felt like he was going crazy, he counted the timing and swung his bat.

With such a swing, it is naturally impossible to hit Sawamura's now lethal Change-up.

SNAP!

"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"

One Out, no one hits base.

In the second half of the eighth inning, Sawamura suddenly resumed his pitching rhythm at the start of the game.

The dugout at Komadai Fujimaki High School.

The assistant coach looked at the serious Sawamura and opened his mouth in disbelief.

"He, how can he still have such physical strength?"

Even if Sawamura uses the Moving ball to save his stamina, Komadai players don't swing every ball, Sawamura has thrown more than 60 balls so far. This number is very close to the pitcher's first limit of 70 balls!

Sawamura's ball speed and power are not reduced enough, but it feels that it is getting stronger and stronger.

"It's not that he's getting stronger, Sawamura is a strong pitcher, to begin with. The reason we feel like he's getting stronger is because our player's endurance and spirit are getting more and more exhausted."

'How can that be?'

The assistant coach widened his eyes in disbelief and looked at Nitta Kouzou.

It's not that he was unprepared for such a result, but he was a little guilty when he really faced it.

'Seidou!'

Faced with Seidou right now, Coach Nitta was very agitated.

After he himself finally made the best team in Hokkaido…

Coach Nitta clenched his fist unwillingly.

No, he absolutely refused to accept this result.

He hasn't lost yet, and Komadai Fujimaki High School has one last chance to make a comeback.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"

Just when the Komadai's Coach and assistant coach thought to themselves, Sawamura Eijun scored another strikeout.

The audience in the stands was already a little numb right now.

But that doesn't mean they aren't interested.

"How many is it now?"

Their interests changed, and they stopped thinking about who won and who lost and focused on Sawamura's strikeouts.

You must know that Sawamura scored twelve consecutive strikeouts from the beginning.

Later, when dealing with Hongou, he got another strikeout.

Including the two just now, Sawamura Eijun has scored fifteen strikeouts so far.

That is to say, now Sawamura has only scored 23 Outs in total, and 15 of them were won by Strikeouts.

"My God!"

"What was the previous record for the most strikeouts in one game?"

"Who knows, but this record is destined to be rewritten in the future. The highest number of strikeouts in a single game will be won by Sawamura."

"Don't talk, just focus on watching the game, it's not over yet."

Under the fiery eyes of the audience, Sawamura did not intend to disappoint them and continued to aim for strikeouts.

It's just that the people at Komadai are not fools. Of course, they won't watch Sawamura's Strikeout record refresh one by one.

When it was time for the sixth batter, the Komadai players had learned their lesson and put on a bunt.

It's enough to drive you crazy!

With two outs and no runners on base, the batter decides to bunt.

Normally, if Komadai players did this, they would be booed, and even their own supporters might not watch.

But now, no one questioned it; everyone watched with interest as to how Sawamura would Strikeout his opponent.
