Chapter 170: Less Remarkable

"It's a little tricky."

In the rest area of ​​Seidou High School, Coach Ochiai touched the goatee on his chin and said thoughtfully.

Almost everyone at Seidou High School has already agreed with Sawamura's guess. The opponent's plan should be the relay between Nitta and Hongou.

Without mentioning Hongou Masamune, he is only a first-year player, but his pitching makes everyone at Seidou High School feel difficult.

Unless they are lucky, if they want to rely on their strength to continuously hit the pitching of Hongou, the players of Seidou High School will have to go through at least two rounds of adaptation.

In this case, the sooner they can force their Hongou Out, the better it will be for them.

But the people at Komadai Fujimaki High School are not fools, and of course, they won't let Seidou have their way.

Nitta's strength is really good, it's not easy to get rid of him quickly.

Even coach Ochiai finds this situation difficult.

"We have to score in the next game no matter what."

In the second half of the third inning, the Komadai Fujimaki attacked.

"STRIKE!"

"STRIKE!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!"

"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!!!"

The players of the Komadai Fujimaki High School are acting strange. In the face of Sawamura Eijun's superb pitching, they had absolutely no intention of bunting.

All of them are going head to head with the battery!

Not only that, they were all aimed at Sawamura's ordinary Straight balls and ordinary Moving balls.

If Sawamura did throw an ordinary Straight or an ordinary Moving, the players at Komadai Fujimaki High would have won the bet, and with any luck, might have hits by now.

But who is Takigawa Chris?

With a glance, he understood the plans of the Komadai High School players.

Knowing that the opponent is aiming at ordinary Straight balls and ordinary Moving balls, Chris will certainly not ask Eijun to throw these kinds of balls.

So all kinds of Breaking balls emerge in an endless stream.

Straight Fastball, Change-up, Forkball, Cutter ball, Moving-up, Magic ball…

Now Sawamura Eijun has all the balls he can use, and the Breaking balls are thrown by him one after another.

These balls are like bullets from a sniper, precisely stabbing into the hearts of Komadai Fujimaki players.

Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.

In the stands of Koshien, the audience opened their mouths one by one, looking in awe.

"Did you see the last one?!"

"Yeah, that was something else!"

"What is the count now?"

"It is nine!"

"Amazing!"

In the Koshien final, Sawamura Eijun, the Ace pitcher of Seidou High School, actually scored nine Strikeouts in a row.

Nine Strikeouts in a row!

"It's not over yet."

A loyal spectator of Koshien, shaking his hands, looked at Sawamura on the field.

He had a faint hunch that in this match, Sawamura Eijun would probably do something very remarkable!

In the first half of the fourth inning, it was the upper lineup of Seidou High School who was playing for the second time.

Before playing, Coach Kataoka was specially called Kominato Ryosuke, Sawamura Eijun, and Yuuki who were about to play.

"We don't have that much time to get used to the pitch of the pitcher in front of us! If you can't knock him off in this inning. Our situation will become passive in this game."

Coach Kataoka did not explain any tactics but simply explained the stakes to his three warriors.

He believed that his players would definitely understand what he meant.

"Yes!" Yuuki was the first to speak.

Sawamura and Kominato Ryosuke looked at each other and nodded helplessly.

Coach Kataoka has asked them so solemnly. As players, how could they not show their performance?

It is just that, for Ryosuke and Sawamura, the guy in front of them is not that easy to overthrow.

Neither Ryosuke nor Sawamura is particularly good at dealing with opponents like Nitta as His pitching naturally restrained Sawamura and Ryosuke's attacking styles.

But if the Coach has given an instruction, can team members still refuse to comply like this?

Certainly not!

Ryosuke and Sawamura made up their minds to deal with Nitta, and naturally, they had plans.

Although they felt that Nitta was difficult to deal with, it was not impossible for them to do anything.

The method chosen by Ryosuke is to entangle and continue to exert his potential as a Devil Brother. The purpose of this is not necessarily to get hits, he is mainly to find flaws in Nitta's pitching.

Before Seidou High School, there was almost no information on Nitta's Screwball, and the first round of the match would be such a loss!

Now, they have an impression in their minds, that as long as they find flaws or rules, it should not be difficult to bombard him.

Kominato Ryosuke's plan is good, but his luck is not particularly good.

Ping!

After persisting for a few balls, Nitta suddenly hit the center.

In this position, it is not easy to knock the ball forward of bounds!

Kominato Ryosuke could only grit his teeth and hit the ball forward.

The moment the bat touched the white ball, Kominato Ryosuke knew it was a breaking ball. Moreover, the ball was much more sharp than he expected.

The hit baseball flew high and landed in the first baseman's Mitt.

"OUT!"

One Out, no one hits base.

"Third Batter, pitcher, Sawamura-kun."

After Kominato Ryosuke, it was Sawamura's turn to attack. He went against Ryosuke, and Kominato Ryosuke quietly told Sawamura the information he had got.

'Incredible!'

Many of the things that Ryosuke said were known to Sawamura before, and there were also some that he didn't notice.

'In just two at-bats, you can see so much!'

The importance of Kominato Ryosuke to Seidou High School is much more than what he has shown.

"Do not worry!"

After giving Kominato Ryosuke a reassuring smile, Sawamura stepped into the strike zone.

"Bring it on!"

The characteristics of the Screwball are clear in Eijun's mind. As long as Nitta throws the ball over, Sawamura Eijun can generally guess the course.

Therefore, what he needs now is not contact but power.

The bat in his hand was raised high, and Sawamura's entire batting stance was stretched very wide.

In the catcher's position, Sato looked at Sawamura in the strike zone, and quickly guessed what Sawamura was thinking.

It seemed that Sawamura had made up his mind to face them head-on.

'If that's what you want, then come on!'

'Let me see if you can hit it!'

Nitta, who received the sign, was also unwavering and threw the ball directly.

Whoosh!

The small white ball is like a light arrow, flying toward the zone.

Here it comes!

Seeing the approaching baseball, Sawamura counted the timing and swung the bat.

It seems that Sawamura's swing is unremarkable, and there is nothing particularly eye-catching about it.

Ping!

Even if the bat hits the small white ball, there is nothing special, and even the sound of the collision between the two is not loud. It's just that after the small white ball was hit, it landed in the fielder gap of Komadai High School by coincidence.

Pak!

The baseball lands and bounces. while everyone around is stupefied and speechless!
