At last!

Limiting Sawamura's stealing base, Yamanaka and Uesugi can focus more on dealing with Akagi's current batters.

There is no information, about the first-year player, Matsumoto Jun.

Matsumoto Jun's hitting data is almost zero, but he has previously replaced Feng Xiang as a catcher.

His ability as a catcher is remarkable.

At this time, sending him up, Yamanaka thought that Matsumoto Jun should have some ability in bunts in addition to being strong as a catcher.

He has already determined that Matsumoto is Sawamura's secret weapon to continue to force points after he steals the base.

Facts seem to prove this. Matsumoto's blow was completely ineffective, and he was struck out directly.

Two outs, and someone at second base.

In this situation, Akagi has almost lost all scoring possibilities.

"Sixth batter, shortstop, Renya-san."

Renya, the sixth batter, had his eyes red before he stepped into the strike zone, and then his whole person became awkward.

Bad condition, too much pressure!

Yokozuna's players are like watching a farce, watching Akagi's silly act.

Sano-sensei comforted a few words, but it seemed to have no effect.

In desperation, he had to make a substitution decision again. This time, the one who stood in the strike zone was also a first-year substitute.

"Sawamura dragged such a group of guys and pressed us for seven rounds?"

Not only Yamanaka, but many Yokozuna players had the urge to vomit blood.

in the dugout.

Originally crying, the wind was cold, with a towel covering his head, and collapsed on the lounge chair.

"This time I'm embarrassed. My brother knows it, and he has to slap me."

There was a hint of weakness in his voice.

Next to him, Wakana was holding a bottle of water, with concern on her face, but she said rudely: "Don't be rude, when you win, let Sawamura treat you to a big meal."

The camera returns before Sawamura hits the field.

"If I get on base, then Matsumoto will replace Nobu, and Hirota will replace Renya."

Hirota understands well, he was originally Akagi's first-generation fighter, and under the guidance of Sawamura, in terms of simply attacking, his strength is even stronger than Yamaguchi, or even Oda.

"Why not let Hirota go directly?"

Wakana asked.

"The first surrogate is too dazzling, and Yokozuna will be wary. As long as Uesugi shows his true strength, Hirota has no chance at all. If you want the surrogate to go smoothly, you must let Uesugi and Yamanaka careless. Uesugi is okay. The point, the mountain is a little fox, and it is not easy to deceive him. Therefore, we have to set up a stage for each other to sing."

...

From the very beginning, Sawamura had no intention of stealing bases.

Yokozuna's defence is very solid, and Sawamura himself is not a speed-type player. His success rate in stealing bases is not high at all.

And even if he was lucky enough to steal the base, Yokozuna would go forward and go all out to prevent Akagi from scoring a crucial point.

In that case, although Akagi cannot say that there is no chance, the chance is very slim.

In contrast, still trying to make the opponent careless, betting on Hirota's blow, the odds of winning are higher.

Of course, no tactic can be 100% successful, and Sawamura is just trying to increase their chances of winning.

Just like now, Hirota stepped into the strike zone under such a logical situation.

In the face of this hitter without any information, Yamanaka and Uesugi didn't care too much.

In fact, Akagi has only two pieces of material in total, except for Sawamura and Ren, they are not very good.

Considering at least two rounds and possibly more extra matches, Yamanaka did not give Uesugi an order to go all out.

If the pitcher throws every ball with all his strength, the number of pitches is very limited.

The reason why Uesugi can save more stamina than Sawamura is that he has released water to a certain extent to other Akagi's batters in addition to Sawamura.

He doesn't need to throw the ball with all his might to deal with Akagi Middle School, everyone other than Sawamura.

According to the different strengths of each hitter, the degree of Uesugi's release of water is also different.

To use a more popular phrase, he called it tailoring.

Against what batter, with what pitch?

Sawamura was forced to be helpless, and Yokozuna had no real weak chicken batter, so Sawamura could only go all out for every shot.

Now Sawamura is at second base, and the hitter is a rookie first-year, considering the two innings that will be held later...

When Uesugi threw the ball, he didn't try too hard.

"Whoosh!"

The white ball, like a laser light, flew above the home plate.

Hirota Hiiro swung the bat on the first ball, and the bat was ten centimetres away from the ball.

"Bang!"

"strike!"

The strike is not allowed, the stance is loose, and the arm is not stable.

"Small-fry!"

Said Yamanaka defined Hirota.

In fact, Hirota had never been instructed to practice hitting before. He only hit the ball in the pitching machine, and his hitting posture was very amateur.

Joining Akagi was also on a whim.

After entering Akagi, Sawamura once corrected his striking posture, but after correcting it, his blows became completely ineffective.

That loose T-step was exactly the most comfortable striking position for him.

Although speechless, Sawamura had no choice but to let it go. Now there is an unexpected surprise.

Under the contempt, Uesugi is even less likely to deal with Hirota with a tricky ball.

That is waste, and waste is the greatest crime.

Facing Uesugi's second pitch, Hirota swung decisively.

"Clang!"

Without any suspense, the baseball was hit. It falls between the first baseman and the pitcher, which is the area the second baseman guards.

But there is no one in this area!

Yokozuna's second baseman, in order to guard against Sawamura's stealing base, has not left second base yet. Only at the second base can he catch the ball and touch Sawamura.

The baseball goes through the field and out into the field!

Hirota had the hit.

"Damn it!"

How smart is Yamanaka, he realized almost immediately that the other party was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. Although Uesugi didn't use all his strength, he couldn't hit the ball by anyone. That batter can hit the ball so solidly, of course not without strength.

"Wild beaters!"

Danger!

Realizing that Hirota was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, the alarm bell rang in the Yamanaka Shikanosuke. At this time, he couldn't entirely figure out Sawamura's plan, but it didn't prevent him from judging Sawamura's next actions.

"Pass back home!"

The left fielder, who received the ball, waited for a while before picking up the ball, when he heard Yamanaka tearing his throat.

Back home, why?

An average hit, but the batter goes to first base, and at most second base runners advance to third base.

Second base runner!

Thinking of this, he glanced at third base. At this time, Sawamura had already crossed third base and went straight for home plate.

"Too crazy!"

Yokozuna's outfielder snorted coldly and passed the ball back to home plate.

I have to say that Yokozuna's players are really good, a fourteen-year-old boy, with a 50-meter-long pass, there is not much deviation.

Yamanaka sighed in relief after receiving the ball.

Fortunately, in time.

"Watch me kill you!"

At this time, Sawamura also approached home plate.

Yamanaka immediately grabbed the ball's glove and touched Sawamura and Sawamura faced Yamanaka's touch and fell directly over the slippery base.

Forget it!

With a hard hit, Yamanaka's glove touched Sawamura's arm, which was reaching for home plate.

At this moment, Sawamura's body turned sideways at an unbelievable angle, his arms circumvented Yamanaka's glove, and he touched the base of the home plate.

"Safe!"

"Score!!!"

At this moment, the audience was boiling, and all the audience stood up and applauded.

Seventeen strikeouts, the last goodbye hit in the outs, a stunning steal...

This is destined to become a classic game.

It's just a pity that in this game, Big Giant Yokozuna Middle School was reduced to a supporting role.
