Victory in the first battle

At the end of the three rounds, the score on the field did not change, it was still 3:0!

I have to say, Motoki still has two brushes. Oda, Yamaguchi's own striking strength is good, otherwise, he wouldn't have caught the pitcher's swing in the first round.

But they were successively defeated by Motoki's pitching.

For middle school students who do not have strong swinging power and do not master the skills of pulling and hitting, pitchers with precise ball control and pitchers with particularly fast ball speeds are extremely deadly targets.

Although Motoki's own ball speed is not fast, his ball control combined with the defence of Hakuba Middle School honed matches his ball control, combined with the two, his strength is far more than one plus one equals two.

It's not surprising that Oda and Yamaguchi faced him for the first time and were helpless.

Afterwards, Ren swung the bat with all his strength and was about to hit the ball over the infielder's head. Unexpectedly, the opponent used a bad ball in the last ball. Because there were very few bad balls from Motoki, Ren also made a point and played Goofy.

On the other hand, Sawamura didn't give in too much.

At this time, Hakuba Middle School also discovered that although Sawamura's pitching speed is very fast, strictly speaking, he should be the same type of pitcher as Motoki. They all get the outs by getting the batter to keep hitting the ball and relying on fielding.

"In other words, he is also a ball-handling pitcher!"

After Hakuba's coach understood this, he immediately gave orders to his teammates.

A pitcher whose life is on the ball is heavily dependent on the team's defence. In order to cooperate with Motoki, the entire team practised for a whole year. Does Akagi's team have such a strong defence?

With such suspicion, he immediately let his team shake Akagi's defence.

It's just a pity that they trained for a year in order to cooperate with Motoki. Akagi is also a team with pitchers as the core. From the very beginning of the team, the little friends have devoted themselves to assisting Sawamura.

Up to now, they have been working diligently for a year and a half.

As far as the strength of the defence is concerned, none of Sawamura's brothers are pestered.

Hakuba's attack was quickly disintegrated by the strong defence of Akagi's friends.

On the other side, in the fourth inning, although Sawamura went to the base, his friends after that were all dealt with by Motoki.

At the end of the fifth game, neither side scored anymore.

The score is still 3:0!

At this point, even Akagi was surprised. Although Sawamura was a little bit fishy when he pitched. But they hit but never let go. Up to now, Akagi has only scored one hit from Motoki.

And the creator of this hit is Sawamura.

Although Akagi Middle School is not a team that specializes in attacking, the defensive power displayed by Hakuba Middle School is still amazing.

In other words, their strength is indeed qualified to play against Akagi Middle School. Although the odds of winning are not very high, there is always a 30% to 40% chance.

Motoki stood on the pitcher's mound, bringing a qualitative change to the entire Hakuba Middle School.

With such strength and such an ace pitcher, it is no wonder that the coach of Hakuba Middle School is ambitious and wants to create miracles. Even at the decision to give up the Chiba County championship.

It's just a pity, because of one of his decision-making mistakes, Hakuba Middle School completely lost the chance to win.

The score of 3:0 is neither too big nor too small. This score alone is really not enough to make the opponent feel hopeless on the baseball field.

But if the opponent is Akagi, this score is enough to make 99.9% of the national team completely desperate.

The sixth game began. In this game, Motoki performed as always.

He first used a lob to deal with Yamaguchi.

Once out, no one hits the base.

At this time, the batter was Aoi Ren's turn again.

"Clang!"

He swung the stick like a volcano eruption and swept the white ball out.

The white baseball, from the moment it was hit, until it hit the ground, the total time was just the blink of an eye.

In such a short period of time, the fielders of Hakuba Middle School only had time to extend their gloves symbolically, but here and there? The small white ball passed through the garrison and flew to the outfield.

Ren got to second base in one breath.

Once out, there is someone at second base!

At this time, it was Sawamura's turn to strike.

Ren shook his arm and nodded at Sawamura.

He believes in Sawamura's strength!

Sawamura smiled bitterly: Being a cleanup fourth batter is really stressful.

Although he complained like this, when he was standing in the strike zone, Sawamura's eyes were bright and scary. Every cell in his body seemed to be beating with joyful energy.

With the bat in his hand raised high, his eyes narrowed slightly, Sawamura's every move made people feel very uncomfortable. This feeling is even more pronounced when standing in the position of the pitcher and catcher of Hakuba Middle School.

On the pitcher's mound, a drop of cold sweat oozes out of Motoki's forehead.

From what he felt, the entire strike belt was shrouded in Sawamura. No matter where he casts it, it seems that Sawamura can hit it. Even though he's a pitcher who relies on fielding to get outs, it's a scary feeling.

"Do you need to walk him?"

Now is the first out, there are people at the second base, and the bag on the first base is empty.

The catcher saw that Motoki was in a dilemma and gave him a password, but unfortunately, Motoki refused without hesitation.

"no!"

If they were evenly matched, it was not impossible for them to walk Sawamura. But now they are three points behind, if you want to have a chance, you must kill Sawamura head-on.

First, let Sawamura get no points, and then in the next round, he will recover the points from Sawamura.

Only these three Thais have a chance!

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just Motoki's own wish.

"Clang!"

With Sawamura's swing, he pulled the outside corner with precision to the direction of third base. Let the fielders of Hakuba Middle School, who are on the defensive at first base, flutter in the air.

The baseball lands, forming a long hit.

Sawamura ran to second base and sent Ren back to home base.

With a total score of 4:0, Akagi won the extra point.

Of course, this score is not the most surprising. Anyway, few people are optimistic that Hakuba can come back from a three-point deficit.

What surprised them the most was Sawamura!

on the stand.

"Pull it!"

In old man Hiromitsu Yamano's eye sockets, the eyeballs were about to fly out.

With the physical quality of middle school students, they rarely come into contact with the skills of pulling and beating. Even if there is, it is only those members who play hardball youth baseball who will have contact.

Before Sawamura, although his striking power was extraordinary. But such strike skills have never been shown.

"Where is the end of your potential?"

The old fox said with blurred eyes.

...

"Kanto Conference, the first round, the third game. Nagano Akagi Middle School played Chiba Hakuba Middle School with a total score of 4:0, and Akagi Middle School won."

There is no suspense, Akagi defeated Santai 4:0 and advanced to the top eight in Kanto!
