Incomparably harmonious rolling

June 25, Sunday, the weather was fine.

Nagano belongs to the plateau area. Although it has not yet entered the hottest season of the year, the temperature in Nagano Prefecture is not low. Especially in the weather with no wind, the hot sun shines down, which makes people seem impatient.

Akagi area, public baseball stadium.

Said to be a public golf course, it is actually a stand for the first and third bases, plus a net made of ordinary ropes. This stadium, even if compared with the stadium that was just built after the Akagi Middle School baseball team was sponsored, didn't have much advantage.

In addition to the stands, in terms of infrastructure, this stadium is not as good as the stadium that Akagi just built.

Today is the first game of Akagi Middle School, a rising star in Nagano Prefecture. At the beginning of the game, the organizer was very worried. They were worried that this small broken stadium would not be able to accommodate Akagi's game at all.

In the past two years, the atmosphere of baseball has been very high throughout Nagano Prefecture. The Tenryuji Middle School, which just won the national runner-up. There are Higashiyama Middle School and Nishiharamachi Middle School in high school, and the grades of these two high schools are also good. In the summer and spring, they entered the National Competition successively and achieved a good ranking.

Compared with them, Akagi doesn't seem to be really great.

After all, Akagi has never entered the whole country and has not even participated in the Kanto Conference. Compared with Tenryuji and the two major middle schools, such a ranking is not worth mentioning at all.

It's strange that Akagi Middle School, which looks useless, has the most fans in Nagano Prefecture.

Not to mention the students in their own school, but only to the die-hard fan group of Akagi Middle School, the "Brotherhood of the Hearts". Now it seems to be the largest school fan club in Nagano and even Kanto.

There are more than 1,600 core members in the whole group!

The leader of the group, Hayashi, and the deputy leader of the group, Kobayashi, even organized people to prepare for the expedition to Kanto and even the whole country. The number of people who signed up was as high as five or six hundred!

Not to mention Tenryuji middle school, even Nishiharamachi and Higashiyama who can participate in National do not have such a large number of die-hard fans.

Today's Akagi has become a phenomenon in Nagano Prefecture.

On the day of the competition, there were over a thousand core members and eight or nine hundred non-members of the 'Brotherhood of Hearts', plus a student team of more than 100 from Akagi Middle School. The entire stadium was filled with a mighty 2,000 people.

They not only occupied the first base stand on the Akagi side but also occupied the third base stand by the way.

There were less than 100 students and parents who came to cheer on the team from Nagata Middle School. Surrounded by more than 2,000 people, the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

The immortal can manifest and tell them.

This is comparable to the battle of a professional fan club. What is going on?

Although Akagi Middle School has the intention to release water to Nagata, their fans and supporters don't know it. With so many people, the mountains and tsunamis cheered for themselves. Akagi's little friends, all of them are naturally as excited as they have been beaten.

But their opponents can't stand it. Nagata's students have never made it through the first round. Where have you seen such a battle?

Being stared at by more than 2,000 people, they were not very good at walking, let alone competing.

"In this way, I'm afraid you can't even train soldiers, right?"

Looking at the Nagata player, he looked trembling. Ren frowned and said.

"It doesn't matter, let them let go and fight. If Nagata himself is really unsatisfactory, they can't blame us."

Sawamura doesn't care. If he changed a game that was supposed to be a military training game, wouldn't Sawamura be on fire in his heart? But when he has a good relationship with Nagata, he can't do anything about beating up the Reservoir Dogs.

But if Nagata didn't live up to his expectations, it would be no wonder that Akagi was cruel.

Akagi can deliberately preserve his strength, and he can use Nagata to train his troops. The strength gap between the two sides is so big, considering the future competition, it is understandable that Akagi did this.

But Akagi must not blatantly release water.

These fans who came to support Akagi are not blind. If Akagi let them down in attitude, it would be tantamount to self-destruction.

Fortunately, what Sawamura feared did not happen.

Although the pressure from the audience made Nagata's players feel at a loss, fortunately, they were familiar with their opponents.

Speaking of which, it's also funny. Nagata actually found spiritual sustenance from his opponent.

Sawamura and Ren did not play, and the others played against Nagata. Even if the core of the shooting is missing, Akagi's players trained by Sawamura and his little friends who graduated from junior clubs are also above Nagata.

From the very beginning of the game, they took the absolute initiative.

Oda came out on top and got the hit.

Immediately after that, Yamaguchi Ken sent him back to home plate, and then Akagi kept walking steadily, sending Yamaguchi back to home plate.

In the first game, Akagi Middle School led by two points.

When guarding, although Komaki was far less powerful than Sawamura, he played well.

The fastest ball speed, a full 115, can accurately control the ball into the strike zone. The foundation of Komaki is very solid.

With the pitcher as the core, the fielding practiced by the friends also played a crucial role.

In five innings, they didn't let Nagata score a single point. Even the hits were poor. Komaki only dropped two hits in total offensive, two points in the first inning, three points in the second inning, no points in the third inning, and four points in the fourth inning. Five points, two points in the fifth inning.

The total score is 12:0!

Sawamura originally thought that it would be good to win against the opponent by five points, but he did not expect that the gap between the two sides would be so large. Nagata Middle School and Akagi are not comparable at all.

Akagi, who was relatively weak in attacking, had the help of the pitching machine, and the attacking became like a duck to water.

"Nagata like this can win the first round, they're really lucky!"

With such a big gap in strength, Sawamura's lineup arrangement was conservative after all. And the little friends around him have long since changed from what they were a year ago.

The five games ended early, and Akagi Middle School successfully advanced to the top sixteen in Nagano County.

Their opponent in the top sixteen was Hokushin Middle School, which was not weak.

Facing Hokushin, Akagi used almost the same lineup as in the first game.

With Komaki as the core, after seven innings of battles, the score between the two sides was finally fixed at 5:3.

Akagi Middle School, with a two-point advantage, narrowly defeated the opponent.

The victory in this game is too important to Akagi's friends.

The strength of Hokushin Middle School is not weak at all. Simply speaking of fame, the reputation of Hokushin Middle School is even higher than that of Shirun. Such a strong team, Akagi still defeated them while retaining the big killer Sawamura.

The little friends suddenly realized it turns out that we are already so strong!

The current Akagi is really strong, not Sawamura's one-man team.

When the little friends have confidence, they also have the confidence to go shopping with the three kings. In the next game, their opponent will be one of the three kings, the giant Okita Middle School!
