Chapter 62: Furuya’s Weakness!

Roaar!!

Like a raging monster, the white ball rushed towards Akiba in the blink of an eye.

Akiba gritted his teeth and looked at the ball in disbelief.

To be honest, he really didn't expect Furuya's pitch to be so intense. Although they had done targeted training before the game they had seen the faster balls with the pitching machine.

Nevertheless, when he really stood on the strike zone, he realized that the ball thrown by Furuya was completely different from the ball thrown by the pitching machine.

To put it more clearly, Furuya's ball seems to be alive. It's not something a cold machine can throw.

"Very scary!"

Unexpectedly, besides Sawamura, Seidou High School had such a monster!

'Fortunately, the ball wasn't enough to make me want to run away.'

After stabilizing his mind, Akiba really looked at Furuya on the pitcher's mound seriously.

In the position of the catcher, Miyuki also felt a bad feeling.

This was the first time that this batter saw Furuya's pitching, and he didn't hesitate or take a single step back.

Right now, Miyuki didn't think much about it, he just thought that this first-year Batter at Yakushi High School was indeed different.

'He really doesn't look like a first-year freshman!'

Seidou third-year seniors have the same opinion as Miyuki

They can't see how these first-year juniors became so good.

In their team, there is the big monster Sawamura and the little monster Furuya who has not yet fully grown up.

The three first-years of the other side's Yakushi High School were all tough Batters, especially Raichi.

Even in the entire high school, they were outstanding players.

Seeing the freshmen of the first grade are skilled to this level, as the seniors of the third grade, of course, they are feeling a bit bad for themselves!

"It's really frustrating!" Isashiki murmured angrily.

The duel on the field is still going on, and in front of Furuya's imposing pitch, Akiba seems to be paralyzed but not panicking!

He didn't swing the bat at the first two balls.

As for Furuya who just played, the first two balls were thrown to the strike zone. Chris's special training was still very effective.

Two Strikes and the batter was chased, so Miyuki gave a sign to Furuya.

'The next ball, a Straight ball that is high in the middle!'

Although he doesn't have much expectations, the level of ball control required for this is also very simple.

The easiest course for Furuya is the Straight ball that is high in the middle.

When he pitches at this place, his ball is the fastest, most powerful, and the most comfortable for him to throw.

The last pitch, according to Miyuki's plan, was of course to let Furuya crush the opponent with strength.

Bring it on!

Seeing the sign that Miyuki gave him, Furuya felt like his whole body seemed to be spewing out steam.

Like he's boiling all over!

Roaar!!

As if the air was torn apart, Furuya put all the strength of his body on the two fingers of the pitching ball.

He threw his best Pitch.

This ball is mighty as if it is splitting the air apart with its speed and power, and it reaches the top of the plate in the blink of an eye.

On the strike zone, Akiba, who seemed to be frightened and thrown out of rhythm by Furuya, suddenly moved!

'Aim, two balls above the Straight and swing!'

Ping!

The moment the bat hit the baseball, Akiba felt like his hand was about to break.

'It's heavy, it's scary.'

Unexpectedly, the opponent's pitching is not only scary but also heavy.

However, it was hit forward!

To be honest, Akiba himself was surprised that he was able to hit the ball.

According to the feeling from his hand, if he swings the bat in the direction of the ball he originally wanted he can't hit the ball at all!

Furuya's ball was actually higher than Its intended location!

After the white ball was hit, it fell into the gap in the outfield.

Sawamura and Isashiki watched the ball move away toward the background fence.

"Don't go, bastard!"

Before Sawamura was foolish enough to chase it, Isashiki stopped him already ran after the ball.

Originally, Akiba planned to go over the second base and go directly to the third base.

However, a pass like a sharp sword came from the outfield and Nailed Akiba firmly on second base.

A bead of sweat dripped down his forehead, and Akiba glanced at Isashiki in the outfield in disbelief.

Unexpectedly, after the ball passed through, he could catch up with the ball and pass it back in such a short time.

'Even the outfielders are monsters?'

Meanwhile, Isashiki looked at Akiba with dissatisfaction.

"You really have no guts, why don't you keep running!"

Sawamura looked at the Beard-senpai in admiration and respect.

However, the Beard-senpai didn't spare him either.

"And you! Why are you chasing it? What if I make a mistake while chasing the ball, what if I don't pick it up or it falls down, and don't have time to pass it back?"

"Yes Yes!"

The Beard-senpai was scolding his still Smooth-Kohai, and the first-year could only nod his head.

What can he say?

After all, the outfield is not Sawamura's main after all. Although because of his rich baseball experience, he has never made a big mistake, but he is not that outstanding.

Sawamura's performance in the outfield is also considered acceptable.

But it is only acceptable, and it is impossible to say that it is excellent.

Not to mention that compared to a passionate madman like Isashiki, Shiratsu is also a notch better than Sawamura in outfield defense.

The game continues.

Two Outs, runner at second base!

This result was obviously beyond the expectations of everyone at Seidou High School.

Coincidence? I think not.

You can't be in a mess just because the opponent hits a ball.

"Two Outs!"

"Two Outs!!!"

The seniors in the infield and outfield began to cheer on Furuya Satoru.

And although Miyuki already had a little doubt in his mind, he was not sure.

After all, Akiba just seemed to be completely frightened by Furuya pitching.

It's not impossible to swing the bat randomly and hit the ball by luck.

Right now, self-doubt is equal to committing suicide, and more information and intelligence are needed to confirm.

"Second Batter, pitcher, Mishima-kun."

Mishima stepped on the strike zone.

Today, the one with the most outstanding performance at Yakushi High School is not Raichi, but Mishima.

During the previous duel with Sawamura, he was the most persistent against Sawamura.

It even made people think that he could hit Sawamura Eijun's pitching.

After getting on the pitcher's mound, he turned the tide even more and stopped Seidou High School's attack.

"Today is my lucky day!"

Mishima Yuta also felt cool in his mind, he kept thinking how cool is he.

Now, he feels like flying into heaven and nothing could stop him.
