Chapter 34: He Didn’t Warm Up

"If you are this tired, don't shout!"

In the center field, Isashiki roared in dissatisfaction.

"Don't crumble on us okay!"

Kuramochi said gloomily behind Sawamura.

"If you can't do it, there are people waiting for you in the rest area."

Ryosuke smiled, still looking harmless.

Hearing Ryosuke's words, in the outfield position, Furuya quickly raised his hand.

He means he can do without having to go to the rest area to find someone.

Masuko looked at Sawamura with complicated eyes.

He also knew that the attack was interrupted by him twice in a row, and he was not as good as Sawamura in batting.

But even as a rival, he sincerely hoped that Sawamura could perform well.

On the first base, Yuuki Tetsuya nodded and said, "Let's do it!"

Right now, Sawamura missed his friends from Akagi Middle School.

Compared with these thorny seniors in Seidou, those Players were much cuter. Every time Sawamura shouted this sentence, they responded to him like fans.

What kind of response is that? How can it be so rough?

Sawamura was dissatisfied, but he didn't know the rest area of ​​Osaka Kiryuu, Superintendent Matsumoto's eyes were straight.

Having played against Seidou, he knows the personalities of these players.

They all have their own personalities, and they can't play supporting roles for others.

After Sawamura shouted that sentence, almost everyone responded.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see how much the players on the field trust Sawamura.

"From the beginning to the present, But in just over two months, has he been recognized by all his teammates?"

In a normal team, that's all. In a Giant team, this is extremely unbelievable.

"The game has just started, everyone, don't lag behind, work hard and give them a fight."

Turning to look at his student, Matsumoto changed his face immediately.

His face seemed to have evil intent, making it ferocious and frightening.

"Turn it back! Superintendent. Your true nature is revealed!"

Before the official start of the game, Miyuki went to Sawamura and explained to him the Pitch calling for the two innings.

It will be with the Moving ball as the core!

Sawamura nodded and said nothing.

The fourth inning began. As of now, Osaka Kiryuu High School's lineup has already played two rounds and started the third round.

Sawamura needs to start with their second batter.

On the mound.

Sawamura's throwing form looked slackened, not his Wall-Making Form, and he threw the ball with ease.

Osaka Kiryuu's second batter stood on the Box waiting for the ball.

Although his own Coach repeatedly asked him to actively swing the bat. But actively swinging is not their second personality or something, so he chose to observe the first ball.

Then, he discovered a very, very strange thing.

When the baseball entered the plate, it moved irregularly.

SNAP!

The batter didn't even swing a ball that seemed to be slow.

"What are you doing?!"

"Fight!"

"That kind of meatball, why don't you hit it?"

Osaka Kiryuu's players were very dissatisfied with their Batter.

On the other hand, Sawamura and Miyuki's faces were not good-looking.

Such a sweet ball, how can a batter not swing?

'This is not good~'

Miyuki smiled wryly.

If the batter is actively swinging the bat, he doesn't actually have time to observe the ordinary Moving ball when the ball is thrown. In this case, Sawamura and him can work together to fool a few Outs first.

Unexpectedly, the batter did not swing the bat.

With such a slow ball, if the batter had observed it carefully, he would have noticed the break easily.

'If you can't make a sneak attack, forget it!'

On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura immediately adjusted his state and signaled Miyuki to pass the ball to him.

Anyway, they didn't plan to keep fooling around. When Osaka Kiryuu's batter noticed something was wrong, they would naturally pay attention and even entangle…

Now, it's just a little bit earlier.

It doesn't matter for Miyuki himself, mainly because he is afraid of the later stage. When Chris will partner with Sawamura, Osaka Kiryuu has more time to prepare.

'Looks like we will be causing trouble for Chris-senpai.'

Miyuki blamed himself, but there was no shame in his feeling.

It was an accident, a pure accident…

'Come on, second ball, a Moving ball to the outside corner.'

Miyuki changed his strategy of pitch calling.

A batter who has already fallen behind on a Strike can no longer miss the swing.

Ping!

The small white ball was hit and landed right on the front of the first baseman.

Tetsuya catches the ball with ease, then stomps on the base bag.

"OUT!"

One Out, no one on base.

"Come on, his luck is too bad!"

"Why did you hit it there?"

Osaka Kiryuu's second batter, frowning, looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound.

'Was it really just a coincidence?'

The turn then goes to the third Batter.

Ping!

Sawamura threw the first Pitch in the center, and the Batter of course would not let it go.

He just doesn't know why he didn't hit this ball well. The ball is in front of the pitcher and bounces off the ground.

Sawamura opened his Mitt, caught the ball in his Mitt, and passed it to Tetsuya.

"OUT!"

Three Pitches, two Outs.

Sawamura's rhythm was so enviable.

At this time, Osaka Kiryuu's originally shouting players lost their voices one by one.

They also realized something was wrong.

"Fourth batter, pitcher, Tachi-kun."

Sawamura made an almost identical Form and threw it at the same place.

Seeing this ball, Tachi swallowed subconsciously, but he couldn't help but swing the bat.

If he doesn't swing the bat in the face of the ball in the middle, after he gets off the field, he might hit himself.

Ping!

The small white ball lands on the side of the pitcher.

Sawamura stepped forward to catch the ball, but his speed suddenly slowed down by a moment, and could not catch up.

"Damn!"

The continuous training has made the muscles tired, and Sawamura has been resting just now. Resting after fatigue can make muscles stiff.

It's not that Sawamura didn't know this, but he still didn't warm up just now.

Yesterday's last fielding exercise consumed not only Sawamura's physical strength but also his muscles. Although high school students are no different from adults in terms of body shape.

But the real situation is not so. The developing body is much more fragile than the robust adult body.

Sawamura felt that every action he made was extremely difficult. In order to hold on to six innings, he had to maintain his stamina, so the warm-up was avoided.

Unexpectedly, the ball flew out a short distance.

When Sawamura was blaming himself, a dexterous figure came out. Blocked the ball with his Mitt.

It's Kominato Ryosuke.

He had fallen on the ground though, and it looked too late to pass first base.

"Hyaa-ha-haa. Ryo-san."

At the moment of crisis, Kuramochi rushed to the scene.

Kominato threw the ball to him, and Kuramochi moved his arms and sent it to first base.

SNAP!

"OUT!"

Sawamura was extremely grateful and gave the two of them a thumbs up.

"Nice job, Senpais!"

"Hyaa-ha-haa. Of course, it is simple."

Kuramochi said with a smile.

Being able to clean up Sawamura's mess seemed to make him happy.

Sawamura's body is really stiff, so he can avoid hugging.

Sawamura returns to the rest area.

Kuramochi's expression turned ugly behind him.

"Very painful!"

Kominato Ryosuke stood up beside him and punched him in the stomach.

"Stop complaining, this is the same for everyone."

More than four hours of fielding practice yesterday.

None of the fielders of Seidou players are normal.

Nevertheless, the effect is very good, Sawamura's four pitches have made the opponent go three up and three down.
