Chapter 73: Pass!

Akutsu had a hunch as early as when Hirahara Rei was walked to base.

The attack of Seihou High School may be unsuccessful!

Of course, for a person like Akutsu, his hunch can't be without any basis, it's not just intuition.

Akutsu thought he had a chance to return to home plate because he didn't count Sawamura's pitching talent. He didn't know that Sawamura could adjust the course of the pitch at the last moment…

If this were an ordinary player, even if Sawamura could adjust the pitching course, the runner would have rushed to home plate and had a showdown with the battery.

But Akutsu is not an ordinary player. He can predict the actions of Sawamura and Chris through clues. Sawamura's last moment adjustment of the pitching course is certainly a skill, and there is no flaw.

But Chris couldn't wait for Sawamura to throw the ball before changing the position and direction of the catch. He had to act in advance, otherwise he wouldn't be able to catch the ball at all.

So it was Chris who was deciding to change the course not Sawamura.

Akutsu was too calm. When he was stealing bases, he still had enough time to observe the actions of catcher Chris. When he realized that Chris had adjusted his catching stance and direction, he knew that it was impossible for Hirahara to touch the ball.

Then what will he accomplish by stupidly running to home plate?

Running like a madman only to be solved?

So every time he saw Chris make a move, Akutsu immediately returned to third base. The next time Sawamura pitches, he will try to steal the bases again.

Akutsu understood that it was because he saw that he was going to steal bases, that Chris made a move, and Sawamura followed by using his talent and throwing the ball wide.

The result of the chain reaction of the three was that Sawamura had Four-Ball for the first time since he pitched in this Koshien.

Akutsu is a rare genius who can push Sawamura to this level!

It's just the next result that none of the three expected.

It's not that the three of them are not smart enough, it's just that in their memory, how could Sawamura Pitch for Four-Ball?

Whether it is information or personality, Sawamura is not a person who Pitch the Four-Ball.

It can be said that no one expected the result in front of him, whether it was Akutsu or Chris, including Sawamura who was pitching.

It was not until the situation was formed that everyone suddenly realized that the original situation had become like this.

One Out, runner at first and third base.

As an offensive side, there are actually many offensive methods that Seihou High School can use.

But as Akutsu, he knew that the chances of Seihou High School scoring were not great.

On the surface, one Out, runner on first and third base is definitely a much better situation than when one is Out and someone on third base.

But for Akutsu, the situation where runners at the first and third bases is not favorable.

The offense at Seihou High School is no longer in his own hands.

Even in his mind, he could simulate a lot of tactics. It's useless right now, he can convey this tactic to his teammates through a sign.

But his teammates at Seihou High School couldn't make as accurate a judgment as him.

To put it bluntly, even the sixth Batter, and Hirahara who got to first base are excellent situations to be used.

But there is still a big gap between them and Akutsu. They don't have the intellect of Akutsu, and naturally, they don't have the ability to scheme against the Maou Sawamura Eijun.

With two Straight balls in a row, the sixth batter of Seihou High School was chased.

Chris saw right through the intentions of the sixth batter of Seihou High School and knew what ball he was targeting.

Because the Maou Sawamura Eijun was too dazzling, the batter from Seihou High School focused all of their energy on dealing with Sawamura.

Inadvertently, they overlooked a very important problem.

Their opponent was not just Sawamura, but also the entire Seidou High School.

In the position of the catcher, Chris gave Sawamura a sign.

Next ball: Ordinary Straight ball!

On the third ball after two Straight balls in a row, Chris still gave Sawamura the sign for a Straight ball.

On the strike zone, the batter's eyes kept beating nervously, and right now, the pressure on his mind was extremely great.

Sawamura has too many Breaking balls, the speed of the ball is fast, and the power of the ball is not small.

If he wants to hit Sawamura's ball accurately, he must guess the path of the ball first.

Now he has chosen the ball path!

Sawamura had two Straight balls in a row before, and the Batter was not unshakable, but in the end, he still believed in the course he chose.

'Bring it on!'

The strong determination of the Batter was obviously seen through by Chris.

So he did not hesitate to give the sign Sawamura an ordinary Straight ball.

As a result, no matter what kind of breaking the batter is aiming at, Sawamura will never be able to hit the Straight ball well.

Whoosh!

When he received the sign from Chris, there was no confusion in Sawamura's eyes. He threw the white ball in his hand very firmly.

In the face of this incomparably sharp ball, the batter did not hesitate and swung tenaciously.

During the swing, the batter even had the illusion that he had hit the ball and hit it out.

In fact, he did hit the ball.

Ping!

The white ball was hit and bounced off.

It's just a pity that the batter was aiming at the Moving-up ball, and Sawamura's pitch did not rise.

After the white ball was hit, it bounced directly to the ground.

'Chance!'

The runner at third base, Akutsu, who didn't do anything, immediately got ready to run to home plate.

Sometimes luck is also a part of strength, just like the sixth batter of Seihou High School, although he could not guess Sawamura's pitch, he still stubbornly hit the ball into the gap of Seidou High School's defense.

The originally iron-walled defense was unintentionally vacated because the second baseman and shortstop were ready to fill the first and third bases!

right now, as long as the ball goes through, even if the batter can't hit base, it is enough for Akutsu to run back to home plate.

'Everything is going well!'

It's just a pity that Sawamura Eijun did not give him a chance to continue to live his dream.

There was a gap in the area around the pitcher.

In other words, the pitcher's own fielding range has been expanded.

Sawamura turned into a fielder immediately after pitching. He hurried to where the baseball had landed and caught the ball in his Mitt.

After receiving the ball, he first glanced at Akutsu on third base.

Akutsu was frozen at third base and could not move an inch!

"Pass the second base! We have time for double play!"

At the same time, the voice of Chris also came over.

Sawamura turned around and passed the ball to second base.

When Sawamura caught the ball, Kuramochi had run all the way back to second base.

"Hyaa-ha-haa!"

He caught Sawamura's ball very beautifully, and then stepped on the second base bag and passed the ball to first base.

"OUT!"

"OUT!!"

Double play!

At third base, Akutsu scowled reluctantly.

He realized that in this game, Seihou High School might have no chance!
