In the final of the Kanto Tournament, Seidou High School played against Hakuryu High School. The changes in the game situation can be described as ups and downs.
First, the Hakuryu High School scored in the first inning and went to the next inning, and then Seidou, not to be outdone, directly overtook them in the second inning. In the third inning, Hakuryu High School relied on Mima's three-run homer to overtake Seidou again.
After being overtaken, Seidou sent first-year pitcher Sawamura to the pitching mound.
Sawamura turned the tide with fine pitching, blocking the Hakuryu's bombardment and scoring streak.
Seidou's defense finally stabilized.
After stabilizing the situation, the serious problems faced by Seidou High School were also placed in front of them.
That is they are now two points behind their opponents…
Hakuryu's pitcher and defense showed extraordinary fighting spirit, and it was not easy for Seidou to take two points from them.
It's like two gamblers betting against each other, Seidou's own cards have the upper hand, but Seidou's bet is less than that of Hakuryu …
In the uncapped gambling game, it is natural to suffer a loss if the capital is small.
"At this time, if we want to win, you need to get the number of eliminations more simply and neatly."
In the first half of the fifth inning, Hakuryu attacked.
It was their turn to hit their core batters, Mima, Takehara, and Kitaooji.
"The third Batter, center, Mima-kun."
Hakuryu's first batter in this game is Mima!
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki was in a bit of a dilemma. With the speed of Mima, there is also the possibility of him directly bunting and stealing bases.
What made him feel powerless the most was that he knew there was such a possibility, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Facing Mima, Miyuki didn't dare to let the fielders go forward to defend. Mima is not only fast, but his swings are also very scary. If there is a loophole in the defense, it is likely to be targeted by him.
'Hakuryu High School really gathers various types of batters!'
Miyuki sighed, in fact, it was more than the Hakuryu High School. Seidou, who hadn't made it to Koshien for five consecutive years, was the same, gathering all kinds of talented players.
The powerhouses should be like this.
'Okay, let's go.'
No matter what difficulties lie ahead, Miyuki never backed down. This time, too, although he felt troublesome, he was still confident in solving the problem.
Mima is good, and Sawamura is not weak either.
Miyuki and Sawamura were thinking about how to deal with Mima, and Mima's eyes were also fixed on Sawamura.
'The famous Demon King!'
'Finally, I can confront you head-on.'
'Then let me experience it, what kind of strength do you have Demon-kun?'
Mima's eyes were so fiery that it seemed like he could burn Sawamura through.
"It's scary~"
Sawamura, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, suddenly had a feeling of joy and blood pumping all over his body.
This feeling was long gone for him.
Mima Soichiro!
'So you can already bring me such pressure?'
Exciting, so exciting!
In Sawamura's previous life, although Mima did not stay in the major leagues for long, his performance in professional baseball was very good, and it is said that he broke the hitting record of Ichiro Suzuki!
Because he was not in the same leagues, Sawamura didn't have much interaction with Mima, and he had limited knowledge of his previous life's strengths.
However, the current Mima, the strength is still not bad. The pressure that his every move brought to Sawamura made Sawamura feel goosebumps.
'Interesting, really interesting. Then let me see your swing.'
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura changed his inattentive dazed state before, and his whole being was like a treasured sword that was about to be unsheathed.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki glanced at Sawamura in surprise.
This is not the same as what they had negotiated before.
The feeling that Sawamura exudes seems to have no intention of using fishing balls and Moving balls. He wants to decide the outcome head-on and defeat Mima Soichiro head-on.
In Seidou's rest area, Chris raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Sawamura's feeling is not quite right.
In the catcher's position, Miyuki let out a sigh of relief.
'To fight head on eh!'
'Exciting!'
'Since the desire to fight is so strong in you too, then you must win. If we lose, the Coach won't spare us.'
The first ball: Cutter's ball in the inner corner!
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound actually didn't say a word.
Miyuki knew in his heart that Sawamura was thinking at this time.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura saw Miyuki match the ball according to his own wishes.
'Bring it on!'
The right foot was raised high and then slashed down like a battle axe. With this force, Sawamura's body's center of gravity shifted, and the glove on his right hand was like a wall, covering it in front of him. By the way, it pushed away all the resistance in front.
The arm of the left hand swung like a whip, and the two fingers hooked the ball tightly and threw the ball out.
Whoosh!
The small white ball, like a laser beam, travels the distance from the pitcher to the top of the plate.
Mima in the strike zone was subconsciously shocked when he saw Sawamura's pitching Form.
'Sure enough, just like what Kitaooji said, his pitching form hides the ball's starting point completely.'
'But it doesn't matter, I can still swing the bat.'
When the ball entered his hand, Mima directly swung the bat.
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew out of bounds.
"FOUL!"
One Strikes, zero Ball.
A Foul is equivalent to a Strike. But not the third Strike.
Although the number of Strike was one ahead, Miyuki's face was not relaxed, and there was even a hint of surprise in his eyes.
Seeing Sawamura's pitching for the first time, Mima actually could still hit?
'This guy is really hard to deal with.'
Miyuki pondered for a while and gave Sawamura a sign.
On the strike zone, Mima held the bat with one hand, as if to pay tribute, and looked at Sawamura through the bat as if it was deliberately aiming.
Then the bat slid in a circle and returned to his hands.
"Imitating Ichiro?"
"Mima's Swing is really extraordinary. It's the first time I've seen a Batter who can hit Sawamura's pitch from the first pitch."
"Really great."
The audience in the stands couldn't help being attracted by the wonderful duel on the field.
On the strike zone, Mima immersed herself in the joy of fighting against Sawamura.
He is a man who will not admit defeat.
In middle school, they had never fought, but he was suppressed by Sawamura. How could Mima accept it?
Hit it off!
Hit it off!!!
In Mima's mind now, there is nothing but this thought.
In this case, Sawamura's second Pitch came.
Change-up!
On the strike zone, Mima stared at the ball thrown by Sawamura without blinking.
Sawamura's middle school's decisive ball, Change-up.
This kind of ball has appeared in Mima's mind many times, and he has done countless imagining exercises against Sawamura's Change-up.
Countless preparations, just for this moment.
At this moment, the long-awaited ball came.
Hit it!
Waiting for the ball to enter his hand, Mima decisively swings the bat.
"Oh~"
