"Let's go! The other party has shone his best, how can we back down?"
Sawamura stood up and said to Miyuki with a smile.
The speed at which Narumiya took the number of Outs was astonishingly fast. The players of Seidou High School did not get much time to rest, so they had to go to the field again.
"This is really a final-level game!" Kuramochi smiled wryly but was excited.
When he just rested, he didn't even have time to drink a second glass of water.
What a bad experience!
"Don't complain, our opponents feel the same way. This is a war of attrition! Whoever can't hold it first will be over." Isashiki Jun's fighting spirit is very high.
For these third-year players, Seidou finally had a real Ace and could fight with Inajitsu in a real fight.
This feeling is so marvelous!
When there is no real Ace in the team, their confidence will be shaky, against an opponent like Inajitsu.
It's different now. Now Seidou High School is full of confidence when playing against any opponent.
Whether it was a Slugfest or a Pitching Duel, Seidou was not afraid of anyone.
In the second half of the fifth inning, Inajitsu attacked.
"Fifth Batter, pitcher, Narumiya-kun."
Another direct confrontation between Sawamura and Narumiya.
The West Tokyo final is heating up with a thrilling pitcher's duel that has everyone on the edge of their seats. Sawamura and Narumiya, two titans of the mound, are locked in a fierce battle that's more than just a game; it's a showcase of skill, determination, and the sheer love of baseball.
The game is a nail-biter, with both teams displaying incredible defense, but it's the pitchers who are stealing the show.
You don't know how many great Pitches you're going to miss by taking one less look.
"Mei!"
"Narumiya!!"
"Sawamura!!"
"Demon King!"
"Come on!!"
In the stands, the supporters of the two people cheered on both sides without giving in to each other!
On the strike zone, Mei's face was very solemn.
It can be said that the game is halfway through now!
So far, except for the first round of Inajitsu's lineup, only Carlos has a not-so-obvious hit.
The other players have yet to take a hit from Sawamura.
"That can't be done!"
But Mei has been playing baseball for a while now, and he still sees the changes in the situation very clearly. Just like now, if Inajitsu can no longer take effective hits from Sawamura, their situation will be worse.
This momentum alone is enough to crush Inajitsu.
'Absolutely not allowed!'
'It is necessary to get effective hits from this stinky boy Eijun as soon as possible!'
He wants to hit Eijun's pitching smoothly. But it is very difficult to not choose a certain ball path in advance.
The bat in his hand was raised high! Narumiya kept thinking about what kind of ball Sawamura might throw and he could hit the ball.
'Honestly, not much!'
Even if he has a keen intuition at batting, Sawamura's ball is not so easy to hit.
'For example, the ball that solved Masa-san.'
Although they haven't seen it until now, how did Eijun let Masa-san swing the bat in vain?
There must be some tricks in that kind of ball that they don't know. What Narumiya is very clear about is that if he gambles all his hopes on this kind of ball, there is no future.
In addition to this kind of ball, Sawamura has only used a few ball-breaking balls, like the Forkball.
Equally tricky.
Others include Straight Fastballs!
This ball also made Narumiya feel that he was not sure if he could aim at it.
These three kinds of balls, even if he knew that Sawamura was going to throw them, he was not sure he would hit it.
'It is very unwise to focus on these three kinds of balls.'
And to deal with him, the battery of Miyuki and Sawamura may not be willing to show all their strength!
'As long as I can guess their calling plan, there is still hope.'
With a plan in mind, Narumiya's eyes stared at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound without blinking.
At the same time, Miyuki, who was in the position of catcher, was also thinking about Mei's strategy.
'The Magic ball of Sawamura before should have left a deep impression on the players of Inajitsu!'
'Should we continue to increase this impression? Or switch to a normal courses?'
Thinking, Miyuki glanced at Narumiya on the strike zone.
'The guy is very motivated!'
He gave the aura of strong drive as if he could swing the bat at any time.
Of course, Narumiya was also an active swinging type.
Patiently waiting for the right ball is not the style of the Tokyo Prince.
'You can use fishing balls!'
It is not difficult for Miyuki to solve a player who wants to swing.
Moreover, the catcher does not necessarily have to go against the batter when solving the batter, it can completely follow the batter's will.
Just like now, since Narumiya Mei wanted to swing the bat, let him do it.
The first ball, in the middle!
Sawamura was stunned for a second when he saw Miyuki giving him this sign.
'This guy is so evil!'
In fact, Narumiya Mei's thoughts right now are not difficult to guess at all. Anyone in Inajitsu will definitely think about winning the hit under the current situation.
After all, until now, Sawamura's performance has been too good, and Inashiro must break the deadlock.
There are many ways to break the deadlock, and the simplest and most effective way is to get a hit.
Right now, a Straight ball in the center will definitely lure the players from Inajitsu to swing.
Who can resist the temptation of a Meatball when they are so hungry?
Absolutely no one can do it.
Even if the people from Inajitsu knew this was a trap, they had to jump into it.
The ball in the center, no matter how it breaks, can never become a Ball.
'It is a gamble, but I will do it!'
The right foot was raised high and then slashed to the ground like a battle axe.
With the stride, Sawamura's center of gravity shifted, and his right Mitt was firmly in front of him, making it impossible to see his left hand throwing the ball.
Suddenly, a small white orb that cuts through the air like a ray of light!
Fast!
The small white ball appeared without any sign, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the hand of the Batter.
On the strike zone, Narumiya Mei's cheeks were beating non-stop.
The ball is in the middle!
Although Sawamura's pitching was fast, Narumiya clearly saw the path of the ball.
If it's a ball in the middle pitched by another pitcher, then it's a sweet ball, there's no doubt about it.
But it was Sawamura who pitched it.
The breaks this ball can have are enough to fill a small catalog!
It may be an ordinary Straight ball, a Straight Fastball, Moving ball, Moving-up ball, Forkball, or even a Cutter.
Even if the path of the ball is clear, with different breaks, there are also different ways of hitting.
Narumiya gritted his teeth and swung the club decisively.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it flew straight to the mound.
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, opened his Mitt, and took the flying ball into his Mitt effortlessly!
"OUT!"
A ball!
With just one ball, Miyuki and Sawamura's battery solved Narumiya Mei.
