Chapter 171: More Speed

The ball that was hit by Sawamura appeared in the gap guarded by Komadai High School, like a ghost.

At this moment, the audience was silent.

Those who are familiar with Sawamura Eijun, in addition to understanding his strengths, are naturally aware of his weaknesses.

Sawamura Eijun is not good at this kind of pure brute-force duel. Originally everyone thought that even if Sawamura Eijun could get a hit, he would definitely not hit so well.

Unexpectedly, Sawamura hit the ball neatly to the outfield.

The three outfielders of Komadai High School started moving franticly to get the ball.

Sawamura on the strike zone had already thrown his bat and ran to first base.

After reaching first base, he was not satisfied and prepared to continue to advance to second base.

But the outfielders from Komadai High School were not for decoration, they picked up the ball quickly and passed it back to second base.

Sawamura watched the opponent pass the ball eagerly but reluctantly gave up his plan to run to second base.

'I don't know how these guys hone their skills in the ice and snow in Hokkaido. Not to mention the accuracy of passing, and the swiftness of defense is far beyond than that of ordinary teams.'

With such a clean outfield hit, Sawamura couldn't even get to second base.

He can only stay at first base.

The situation turned into one Out and runner at first base.

Although the defense of Komadai High School was excellent, Sawamura still opened the opponent's gap, and the attack of Seidou High School began!

"Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

In the stands of Koshien, fans of Seidou High School were excitedly holding everything they could pick up, and they kept beating and cheering for the players on the field!

On the one hand, they were amazed at the wonderful performance of Sawamura just now. On the other hand, it also represents their confidence in the Batter on the field.

On the first base was Sawamura, and the batter was Yuuki Tetsuya.

As long as these two stay on the field, they will surely surprise people.

Everyone has so much confidence in them!

The dugout at Komadai High School.

Even ordinary viewers have this perception, not to mention the professionals in Komadai High School.

Their assistant coach looked at Sawamura Eijun, who was getting ready on the first base, his eyes were looking around, sweat dripping down his temples.

It was obvious that he was very nervous.

And he was not alone in this, all the other players in the dugout were getting jumpy.

These people's concerns are not wrong, and the situation in front of them is indeed tricky.

Not to mention the batter on the strike zone, Sawamura on the first base was also in trouble right now.

He has left the base bag, about three meters or so, his legs are slightly apart, and he is like a bow, ready to shoot at any time.

Of course, he was just acting. However, if it would put more pressure on the pitcher, then it is working.

"Go to hell!"

Even though he thought that Sawamura might not really steal the base, the stance he is posing now is really annoying.

So he chose to pass the ball to first base without hesitation to contain Sawamura.

Long before he made his move, Sawamura jumped and threw himself on the first base bag.

"SAFE!"

This result can be said to be expected.

After passing the ball back to Nitta, Sawamura stood up again and continued to return to his original position where he was preparing to steal bases and re-made his act of preparing to steal bases.

He won't necessarily steal bases, but it's enough to make pitchers uncomfortable.

"What a nasty guy!"

Nitta calmed down and stopped looking at Sawamura. He turns around and prepares for a head-to-head confrontation with the batter.

'This fast?'

Seeing the Komadai's pitcher react so quickly, Sawamura Eijun was a little surprised.

But fortunately, his goal has been achieved. Although he does not necessarily need to help the captain, with the cooperation of the two, the winning rate will always be higher.

Whoosh!

Nitta pitched the ball, and the small white ball appeared above the home plate in an instant like a laser beam.

The spin of the ball is strange, the exact opposite of normal spin.

Screwball!

The current Nitta has completely spared his physical strength, and the game calling now has the Screwball as the core.

The small white ball appeared in the batter's hand in the blink of an eye.

Yuuki on the strike zone was still motionless.

Even when Nitta pitched the ball, he didn't have any reaction.

But when the baseball was close to his hand, his body suddenly moved.

BUZZ!!

The tyrannical swing of the bat, like a bolt of lightning, swept the top of the home plate.

There was a tiny whirlwind in the entire strike zone.

In the position of the catcher, Sato felt very frightened for a moment.

Even breathing became extremely difficult.

'This Shit is scary!'

Sato's eyes widened and his look slowly turned into that of shock.

He watched the bat easily smash the white ball forward.

Ping!

The crisp and melodious impact sound has not yet reached people's ear sockets. The white ball had already flown far away.

"Shortstop!"

At the pitcher's position, Nitta shouted anxiously.

The shortstop from Komadai High School wanted to respond, but where did he have time for this?

The small white ball soared forward from his field of vision like a phantom.

'It went through!'

The baseball lands and bounces into the outfield.

"Two hundred kilometers!" (124 mph)

In the stands, a fan with a speed gun exclaimed.

He was talking about the ball that Yuuki just hit, and the speed of the ball was 200 km/h!

At this speed, it took less than a second for the baseball to hit the ground.

In such a short time, the players at Komadai High School had time to turn their heads or say a word or two.

It was impossible to stop the speeding baseball.

From the spectator's point of view, from the baseball being hit, until it reached the ground. During the whole process, the fielders of the Komadai on the field only had time to turn their heads and make a subconscious defensive action at most.

Compared with the lightning speed of a baseball, they were like a slow-motion movie, which looked extremely slow.

This visual shock directly ignited the blood of the audience in the stands.

One by one, they shouted the name of Seidou or Yuuki, as if to convey their own strength to the players on the field.

Sawamura was ready to steal bases long before the ball hit by Yuuki reached the ground. He quietly left the bag at first base, ready to move on to second base at any moment.

As soon as the baseball hit the ground, Sawamura's foot slammed the ground, and then his whole body seemed to be a loaded spring, shooting towards the second base.

At the same time, Yuuki also threw away the bat in his hand and ran to first base.

Eijun was running while paying attention to the direction the baseball landed.

By the time he was approaching second base, the Komadai high school fielder still hadn't picked up the ball.

Have the opportunity!

Determination sparked in Sawamura's eyes. His feet kept moving like the wheels of a motorcycle without slowing down at all.

When he stepped on the second base's bag, he didn't stop, but jumped over the second base and went straight to the third base.

So fast!

Sawamura Eijun's starting speed was not very fast, but once he started running with all his strength, he was extremely fast.

Based entirely on the speed after rushing up, Eijun is not necessarily worse than Kuramochi.

"Pass third base!"
