'Well let's guess Yoh Shunshin's game calling plan!'
Understanding what the pitcher was thinking, then aiming at the ball he was throwing, hit the ball beautifully, and got a home run.
And end the battle~
The idea is beautiful, but the reality is extremely different.
Although Yoh Shunshin's ball power and speed are not very strong, with his ball control skill, the ball will never appear in the easy-to-hit area. If you really aim to hit one corner is equivalent to giving up the other corners.
There are many possibilities in just these four corners, and it is also very difficult to choose a course to swing at.
Sawamura's brows were furrowed tightly, and he kept thinking about how to hit Shunshin's pitching.
Honestly, it's not easy.
If Yoh Shunshin was really that easy to deal with, Seidou wouldn't have been entangled with him until now.
'How to do this?'
The miscellaneous thoughts were completely forgotten by Sawamura, and his eyes were fixed on Yoh Shunshin.
'Wait a minute, I seem to have missed something?'
Sawamura calmed down, and Chris's words suddenly appeared in his mind.
What's really scary about Yoh Shunshin is that he knows what the other party wants.
Does that mean that he can also use the same method to guess Shunshin's calling?
Although he was not as smart as the Pitcher, with experience to make up for it, Sawamura believed that he wouldn't lose to Shunshin.
If he is Shunshin now if he is leading Akikawa now…
'When no one is Out, and runners at first and second base, what are you most afraid of?'
In his time in Middle School, Sawamura had the experience of leading Akagi and quickly brought himself into the role of Yoh Shunshin.
'If it was me, I should be most afraid of it at a time like this.'
'Forced Score!'
Other tactics can be resolved. Only forced scoring is almost unsolvable.
Because the initiative does not lie with the pitcher, but with the batters
As long as the pitcher doesn't want to Walk the batter, he must throw a Strike, and as long as he throws a Strike, he must be afraid of forcing a score.
Of course, there are also many restrictions on forced scoring. However, these restrictions are not a problem for Sawamura.
'I got it!'
Sawamura put on a bunt stance.
Seeing that Sawamura was going to bunt, the catcher and the pitcher on the mound faces suddenly sank.
At a time like this, he was indeed most afraid that Seidou and Sawamura would adopt a slow and steady tactic!
It didn't take much, Seidou was ahead by one point, and with the power that Sawamura had shown before, the influence of this point immediately expanded tenfold.
They are behind in scoring, and there is no hope of scoring.
The collapse of Akikawa is a matter of time.
'No, no!'
Although he knew that Sawamura might be faking it, at a time like this, Akikawa had to adjust his defenses.
The shortstop is close to second base, and the overall defense is on the side of first base.
'Yoh Shunshin is going to use an outside corner ball to decide the duel!'
Whoosh!
With the defense ready, Yoh Shunshin directly shoved an inner corner ball that was close to Sawamura's chest.
Sawamura, ready to hit an outside corner ball, had to retract his bat and step back.
'How crafty!'
Akikawa's idea is very simple, the first baseman moved to the front. If Sawamura's bunted ball is caught by the first baseman, he will pass it to second base first, and then to first base.
They were aiming for a double play.
With two Outs, even if Isashiki went to third base, it wouldn't help.
Seeing this, Fujio in the stands looked at Yoh Shunshin with appreciation.
The opponent is the Famous Seidou, and the situation is that runners at the first and second bases and no Out.
In this case, losing a point is inevitable.
In theory, it is not wrong to trade one point for more Outs.
However, Yoh Shunshin was keenly aware of the risks involved.
In any case, Seidou should not be allowed to score points first.
As long as Seidou has not scored yet, Akikawa Academy will have to create a miracle only once or twice.
Once Seidou scores, it doesn't matter if it's one point or two.
The morale of Akikawa Academy will dissipate.
Their chances of winning are already very slim.
At this point, there is absolutely no turning back!
Not only could he not retreat, but also he had to act tougher, even tougher than Seidou.
Yoh Shunshin thought so and did so.
Putting on an outside corner to decide the outcome, but the first ball was an inside corner ball…
To a certain extent, this also affected Sawamura-kun.
In the attack area, Sawamura was not frightened by Yoh Shunshin but was eager to hit.
Although he is not as good as Yoh Shunshin, Chris-shisho, Miyuki-senpai, and the others who are very knowledgeable about game-calling tactics.
Nevertheless, more than ten years of experience taught him a truth.
That is, the more the opponent struggles, the more it shows that the opponent is weaker in this area.
They are making defense adjustments, and deliberately throwing an inside corner ball…
Sawamura has determined that he has definitely shaken Yoh Shunshin now.
After that, Yoh Shunshin's actions were not difficult for him to guess.
Whoosh!
Yoh Shunshin made a pitch, and almost at the same time, the first baseman Kunimi and the third baseman rushed forward.
Low Curveball!
In order to cooperate with the double play, Yoh Shunshin will definitely throw a low Curve ball from the outside corner at a time like this.
After letting Sawamura hit it, Kunimi will catch the ball, pass it to second base, and then pass first base.
Create a double play.
Sawamura, who guessed the path of the ball, suddenly took the bat back.
'You were plotting against me before, and now it's time for me to take revenge.'
After the bat was retracted, Sawamura, like playing golf, aimed at the ball with a low outside corner and hit it hard.
Ping!
The white ball was hit, and it had drawn an arch and landed in the gap in the outfield.
It finally appeared, a long hit.
Isashiki, who had been prepared for a long time, ran all the way and ran back to home plate.
Isashiki scored the first Run.
The Captain returned too and got the second Run!
Two Runs RBI!
Sawamura himself went to second base.
No Out, runner at second base!
"Aoooooooooooooooooooooo!!!"
"It's a hit!!!"
"Double hit!!"
"Two Runs, two Runs!!!"
"Seidou!"
"Seidou!!!"
"As expected of the Demon King, he is extraordinary!"
"Sawamura, Sawamura!!!"
At this moment, the audience is boiling.
Off the field.
With the team of Sankou, the Coach of the Sankou High School raised his head and glanced at the stadium.
"Looks like Seidou scored!"
"That's right, Isashiki got a hit, and Yuuki got a walk. Sawamura hit a super long hit, and now Seidou has a two-point lead."
"As expected of Seidou."
The Coach of Sankou High School sighed and turned to look at the team of Sankou High.
"Seidou is sure to qualify, and we can't relax. Win this game and meet Seidou in the next game."
"Yes!!"
On the field.
Total score 0:2!
Yoh Shunshin looked up at the scoreboard.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Seidou came out on top.
Now, the game is becoming impossible!
Thinking of Sawamura's pitching, most of Akikawa's players shuddered.
In this case, they are afraid that it will be difficult to attack Sawamura.
If you can't attack Sawamura, it will be difficult to get points. If you can't get points, this game is almost lost.
Yoh Shunshin let out a heavy sigh.
"Two points, just two points. Take one Out first."
"Yes!"
