Chapter 32: Sawamura of The Resurrection

One Out, no one on base.

Sawamura stood on the strike zone.

After seeing Sawamura stand on the strike zone, the Osaka Kiryuu players suddenly remembered that there was such a player in Seidou.

During the previous inning, they had never discovered the existence of Sawamura.

Ordinarily, this is impossible.

Speaking of Seidou now, it is impossible to forget Sawamura. At the Kanto Tournament, Sawamura was a blockbuster, as if a giant beast broke into the high school baseball world.

His Skills, his pitching, his records, his fans…

The media have reported and praised his skills with a lot of ink.

Even these media speculated that the reason why Sawamura joined the Seidou was due to his own secret plans.

In short, in the current high school baseball world, very few people do not know about the Sawamura of Seidou.

Before playing against Seidou, Osaka Kiryuu players naturally did not fail to recognize Sawamura. After recognizing Sawamura, they certainly wouldn't ignore him.

But after the game started, everyone seemed to have subconsciously forgotten that there was still Sawamura.

Even if there are a few smarter people who have observed Sawamura and saw that Sawamura looked like he was about to collapse from exhaustion, they will not pay him much more attention.

Sawamura seemed to be crumbling and fall to the ground in the next second.

On the strike zone.

Sawamura suddenly started looking lively, the bat in his hand was raised high, and his eyes were firmly locked on Tachi.

The bat in his hand swayed slightly, the whole body was very relaxed, and no place was particularly stiff…

Such Sawamura still looked half-dead unknown outfielder they subconsciously ignored a little while ago.

The catcher of Osaka Kiryuu felt a strong threat from Sawamura as if he might be bitten at any time.

Just looking at the outlook of him preparing to swing, this guy is even more terrifying than the previous Yuuki!

Osaka Kiryuu's catcher doesn't think so, Sawamura really can't be compared with Yuuki. But he has to admit that Sawamura's sense of danger is very strong. Moreover, he doesn't look exhausted at all.

In Seidou's rest area, Kuramochi's eyes widened, and he muttered incredulously, "When did this kid come back to life?"

"It's not like he resurrected after having people's cheers and expectations."

"What are you talking about, it's too stupid."

In the rest area, Ryosuke and Kuramochi were bickering.

In the end, Kuramochi gave in under the threat of Ryosuke's chop.

He don't know if it was his delusion, but he felt that Ryo-san was getting more and more violent to him recently.

'Could it be revenge for his brother?'

On the other side, in the rest area of Osaka Kiryuu, Takahiro Matsumoto, the superintendent of Osaka Kiryuu, was still immersed in his thoughts about Sawamura.

Matsumoto still trusted the words of his own scout, and he personally called the Sawamura family.

When he just proposed to chat with Sawamura, Sawamura's mother told him that Sawamura had already decided which school to go to. And will not talk to anyone.

It seemed that he was not the first superintendent to make the call, and Sawamura's mother's words carried a skillful politeness from repetition.

Therefore, this matter is over.

As the superintendent of the Osaka Kiryuu, Takahiro Matsumoto thinks it is enough to be able to do this.

Until the Kanto Tournament, after seeing Sawamura's performance with his own eyes, Takahiro Matsumoto regretted it a little.

Why didn't he go and see him in person in the first place?

If he could talk to Sawamura, maybe Sawamura would change his mind.

Not to mention his superb skills, the most important thing is Sawamura's calm mentality. It was his first time to participate in the Kanto Tournament, such a large-scale event and it was his debut in the high school. Nevertheless, Sawamura's performance was so calm.

It's like he is having a picnic!

Coach Matsumoto deeply knows how scary a guy like this is.

'That's a natural Ace!!!'

"Don't hold back, go all out."

Seeing the showdown on the field, Matsumoto decisively gave an order.

Osaka Kiryuu has no reason to be afraid of a first-year student.

Sawamura was not recruited, and Matsumoto was felt regretful.

But is there anyone in the world who sells medicine for regret?

Now that this is the case, they can only use Sawamura as an opponent.

"Hehe~"

On the pitcher's mound, Tachi suddenly laughed.

His smile completely stunned the Players from Seidou High School.

Originally, although Tachi Hiromi was not handsome, he still had a bit of that kind of dignity someone gets when they make a cold face.

And it kind of suited the young man, it gave him a serious and strong outlook.

With this smile now, Tachi looked like an ill-intentioned fox.

'What the hell?'

'Disgusting~'

The young players in the rest area of ​​Seidou were so disgusted by him that they almost vomited out their breakfast.

In the strike zone, Sawamura was unmoved.

The catcher of Osaka Kiryuu looked up at Sawamura in surprise.

'He's too steady, won't he be disgusted by now?'

However, since the questionable face of Tachi appeared, the result of this duel has already been determined.

'Come on, throw your best ball over here and deal with the batter.'

"Hehe!"

The genetically unfortunate young man threw the ball out with a smile.

Whoosh!

This is a breaking ball.

Sawamura's mouth curled into a contented smile, then he aimed at the ball and swung decisively.

Ping!

After being hit, the white ball flew far away.

The baseball lands and passes through the outfield line.

Sawamura took this opportunity to cross first base, second base, and run to third base.

Hit a Triple!

Sawamura hit the ball very nicely.

"OK!"

"As expected of Sawamura."

"Wash your neck and wait."

The alumni onlookers were also excited.

Sawamura, who was still half-dead just now, suddenly regained his spirit and power and he vividly showed his presence.

One out, runner at third base.

"Eighth Batter, right fielder, Shiratsu-kun."

Osaka Kiryuu's battery just calmed down and ready to fight.

Then, as soon as Tachi pitched the ball, Sawamura ran out immediately.

On the strike zone, Shiratsu switched to bunt and knocked the ball out.

Forced score!

Sawamura effortlessly returned to home plate to help Seidou recover a point.

The total score became 7:2.

It doesn't seem like a big deal, but it's the simplest of hits and forced score.

Tactically appropriate and scoring is a matter of course.

But it is precisely this, of course, that it is the most terrifying.

What kind of training do you have to do to take this for granted?

After scoring, Sawamura returned to the bench, his whole body seemed to be collapsed, and he looked half-dead.

"Are you that exhausted?"

Kuramochi frowned at Sawamura and muttered.

"Never mind him, that guy is resting," Shiratsu replied.

After Shiratsu sent Sawamura home, he was Out from the play.

Two Outs, no one on base.

Ping!

Furuya hit a weak hit to the outfield and was shutout.

Despite this, the Osaka Kiryuu player was still taken aback.

Whether it's Sawamura or Furuya, their swing is amazing.

As first-years, they can easily hit the ball with a lot of power and fly it to the outfield?

"They are just monsters!"

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

The game begins its third inning.

In this inning, Furuya Satoru only lost a point, and he held the inning, finishing his today's pitching mission.
