Chapter 65: The ‘Demonic’ Change-Up

The last two innings of the practice match between Seidou High School and Shuuhoku High School progressed very fast!

Now, Shuuhoku High School had completely given up resistance.

Even if their superintendent realized that Miyuki and Sawamura were using fishing balls to seduce their batters to swing. He didn't take the initiative to give his players any plans.

To be honest, he feels too ashamed in this game. Not just losing the game, but also losing their pride.

It would be better to end this game sooner rather than later.

One side has no fighting spirit at all, and the other side is a freshman who has just played. Under such a situation, Seidou High School wanted to get the number of eliminations easily.

In the face of an opponent who has almost no will to resist, Seidou High School's lineup didn't continue to push further. In the eighth inning, they only scored 6 points and it was over! (And this Isn't pushing?!)

Don't think that score is not small, this is really the result of Seidou High School's mercy.

Shuuhoku's pitiful appearance while being slaughtered by them made the batters at Seidou High School unable to get motivated...much.

When the ninth inning came, the players from Shuuhoku High School recovered a little bit of energy. They know that this game is their last chance to attack! They are now 23 points behind, it is impossible to reverse in this game. Even if all the players at Seidou High School gave up their defense, they wouldn't necessarily hit that many hits.

At this point, they just need to focus on attacking.

One point, even one point is fine!

This is all for Shuuhoku High School to talk about this game in the future.

To be honest, their ambition is really not high. However, unfortunately, Miyuki and Sawamura have no plans of ​​helping them.

They struck out both batters with ease.

Moreover, they didn't use any breaking ball against these two batters, just ordinary Straight balls and good ball control.

In the face of Sawamura's ordinary Straight ball, the batter of Shuuhoku High School was helpless.

Two Outs in the first half of the nine innings.

One last Out remaining for Seidou High School to finish the game.

Now, it was the turn of the fourth batter of Shuuhoku High School.

There was still stubbornness in his eyes, and it looked like he wanted to get a hit.

On the other side, the players from Inashiro had already started to pack their bags and were about to leave.

To be honest, when Sawamura just came on the field, the players of Inashiro were still very excited; they thought it was a good opportunity to scout Sawamura's strengths.

However, the result, Of course, is very regrettable!

Sawamura didn't even throw a single breaking ball, he just settled the battle with normal fishing balls and Straight balls. In this case, they naturally have no way to spy on Sawamura's pitching strength.

Strong!

This is for sure, even if they don't watch Sawamura's game, just by listening to Sawamura's previous deeds and fame, they know that Sawamura must be very strong!

Other than that, watching Sawamura's pitching doesn't show anything at all.

The strength of Shuuhoku High School was simply not enough to force Sawamura's strength out.

"Let's go!"

Just as they waited for the game to end, to greet the people from Seidou High School, and then leave.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly changed!

'I want to pitch!'

Sawamura's determination was very firm.

Narumiya irritated them before. If he didn't fight back, wouldn't he think that Sawamura was afraid of him?

In the face of the stubbornness of the pitcher, the catcher is actually very helpless.

At a time like this, if Chris is the catcher, then Chris will definitely let Sawamura know why the flowers are so red.

Sawamura is his Deshi (student), although this is what Sawamura himself said. However, the relationship between the two is obviously much closer than the average Senpai and Kohai. Chris treats Sawamura as his Kohai. If his Kohai is disobedient, what should he do as a Senpai?

Of course, beat him to submission!

If he doesn't accept it, continue to beat him until YOU are satisfied.

Right now, it is meaningless to show the breaking ball in front of Inashiro players.

Apart from making the other party more vigilant, it is impossible to have any effect at all…

Chris would never let Sawamura do such useless work.

However, Miyuki is not Chris!

His relationship with Sawamura was a partnership, not a Senpai and Kohai.

Therefore, when he looked at Sawamura, he couldn't look at a unruly Kohai, but at a pitcher.

When the pitcher wants to show that he is not weaker than the opponent, what should the catcher do?

Of course, help him!

As for whether Inashiro will be more afraid of Sawamura because of this, or whether it will develop any strategies against Sawamura, these things can be ignored for now.

Sawamura and Narumiya are not the kind of pitchers that you can deal with because of some leaked information. At least, they themselves think so.

To put it bluntly, their level, even if you are told what kind of ball they are going to throw next, you may not be able to hit it.

That's why they dare to show their pitches in front of the enemy.

Of course, this is not the main thing.

The most important thing is that the ball that Sawamura wants to play now is not a ball that is not prohibited by Superintendent Kataoka. In other words, the secret weapons left to fight Inashiro can be used until the fight with Inashiro.

Come on then!

Without the slightest hint of advice, Miyuki opened his Mitt and motioned for Sawamura to throw the ball.

Whoosh!

Without hesitation, Sawamura threw a Change-up.

Shuuhoku High School's fourth batter didn't swing at the first ball and watched Sawamura's pitch slip into Miyuki's Mitt.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

Seeing that Sawamura suddenly threw a Change-up, the players of Inashiro, who had been unconcerned, also changed their faces.

Of course, they know that the Change up is thrown when there is no need to.

Of course, Sawamura's real intention is not to deal with the batter of Shuuhoku High School, but to reply to the previous pitch of Narumiya!

'It's just that your Change-up is too ordinary, isn't it? Such a Change-up, you are too embarrassed to show it off to Narumiya.'

"Stinky boy, I'm still more awesome."

Narumiya looked at Sawamura with his arms crossed.

Of course, he knew that Sawamura couldn't just be pulled down like this.

Whoosh!

Without allowing the people on the field to think too much, Sawamura's second Pitch came.

This ball is exactly the same as the first ball, a Change-up.

Shuuhoku High School's fourth Batter's face flushed.

'Don't underestimate me!'

Sawamura's ordinary Straight ball, under the Wall-Making Form, the Shuuhoku High School's fourth batter really can't wait for the ball to be at hand before swinging the bat.

However, Sawamura's Change-up ball is only about 120 km/h.

At such a ball speed, he can completely wait for the ball to enter his hand before swinging.

As long as he is sure that Sawamura's Pitch is a Change-up, then it's not a problem to hit it out at all.

'It's now!'

The ball comes into the plate, and the batter swings the bat decisively.

However, the bat moved past the small white ball, and no one touched the other.

SNAP!

"STRIKE!"

At this moment, the whole place was silent.

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School, Kataoka instantly burst into anger.

'These two little bastards have secretly developed a new pitch!!'
