Jingu Stadium in summer is full of sweat and tears.
The temperature clearly stated that it was only 31 degrees, but it felt that it was definitely more than that.
Whether it is a player from Seidou or a player from Inashiro, the sweat on his face has never stopped.
But the heat of the summer sun did not cover the heat of the game.
Both sides of the game were very fast on offense and defense. In this way, the rest time for both sides is very short, and before they even have time to take a breath and drink a glass of water, they have to play the game again.
As an audience, they are also very nervous.
They stared at the changes on the field without blinking, not daring to relax at all. It was as if they would miss some wonderful Pitches in the blink of an eye.
And now, Harada Masatoshi is on second base, which is a complete surprise to the audience at the scene.
In the previous game, Sawamura stood against Inashiro's lineup and didn't give them any opening. Not to mention the players, even the spectators watching the game felt that Inajitsu was hand-tied.
It was difficult for them to win points from Sawamura at all.
You can't even get a hit, how can you get a score?
"Inashiro!"
"Inashiro!!"
"Mei!!"
"Hit it!! Narumiya!"
It's different now. The audience supporting Inajitsu in the stands are going crazy one by one.
Finally, Harada, the fourth bat of Inajitsu, miraculously scored a double.
It turns out that Inashiro is not without hope, they still have a chance, and the chance is great.
On the pitcher's mound, the expression on Sawamura's face was very strange.
'Sure enough, they won't give up so easily.'
Although he had long expected that the game would not be so simple, nor would it end smoothly.
But the way Inajitsu was unfolding still surprised him.
Until the end, Kunitomo did not give any signs or any instructions in the rest area.
Does he believe that his players will definitely perform, or does he have other plans?
Sawamura couldn't figure out what the other party was thinking.
After Harada went to base, the situation he was going to face also made him unable to relax.
The fifth batter of Inajitsu is Narumiya Mei.
The current situation is two Outs with a runner at second base.
If Narumiya gets one decent hit, Inajitsu High School is likely to take this opportunity and tie the score directly!
Does Sawamura have the confidence to solve Narumiya?
Before Harada went to second base, Sawamura really didn't take Mei's batting seriously.
Sawamura is too familiar with the abilities of his friend from before returning to the past!
Although his batting is better than that of Furuya, But strictly speaking, he is the same type of Batter as Furuya, a blind cannon!
If he feels great then his batting will be great.
If he is unsure or hesitant then he will be an easy Out.
Sawamura was feeling this right now.
He felt that as long as he threw the ball into the strike zone, he would definitely be Smashed out by Mei.
This is Sawamura's intuition right now, and Sawamura believed in his own intuition.
He was saved by his intuition many times before Sawamura went back to the past.
"This is not good!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura has a headache!
'Since it is like this, how about I play it a bit unfairly?'
Sawamura thought about a countermeasure and hoped it would work.
The sitting Catcher, Miyuki, couldn't feel Sawamura's feelings firsthand.
Miyuki didn't see any problem in solving Narumiya Mei.
It's two Outs now!
In this situation, the runners on the bases can completely ignore them, as long as they make sure that Narumiya doesn't hit a hit, they can get three Outs.
Miyuki recognized Mei's ability as a pitcher, but as a batter, Mei was not as good!
'Let's do this!' Miyuki felt confident.
The hand he gave the sign was very calm.
Sawamura on the pitcher's mound shook his head at Miyuki for the first time!
'Um?'
In the process of cooperation between the two, this situation rarely occurs.
Out of trust in Sawamura, Miyuki thought about it and changed his sign.
This time, Sawamura on the pitcher's mound shook his head for the second time.
"Time!"
Miyuki felt that things were not good, and asked for a timeout from the referee, and then ran up the pitching mound.
As he ran, he took off the protective mask on his face.
"What's wrong?" Miyuki frowned, looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound, and asked.
Sawamura covered his mouth with the Mitt of his right hand, and looked at Miyuki seriously, talking nonsense.
"Nothing, I just thought that we were getting a bit stiff so I wanted a moment to calm down and relax."
Miyuki looked at Sawamura almost like seeing an idiot.
"Are you crazy?"
"What? Just look at me and relax for a bit, okay?"
"Looking at you now makes me irritated instead!"
"There! See? You are not calm at all. You should calm down, or do you want to take a breath together?"
"Not that thing again, it was so embarrassing when we did it last time! And why are we doing this again?"
"I told you, we need to relax!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura kept an eye on Narumiya who is making practice swings on the strike zone.
Just when Miyuki called out for a Time, Narumiya was obviously taken aback for a moment.
Then, as their discussions got longer and longer, Narumiya Mei on the strike zone became less and less calm.
Finally, he was about to explode.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura showed a somewhat smiling face.
'The feeling has disappeared.'
"Okay, that's enough. Start catching the ball, and don't waste time."
Hearing Sawamura say that, Miyuki thought about asking Kuramochi to come and give him a kick or two.
"Did he go crazy from pitching too much?"
Should he ask the coach to replace him?
Going back to the position of the catcher, Miyuki couldn't help but mutter in his heart.
Sawamura's actions really made him feel bizarre.
Although Harada on base now is an unexpected factor. Sawamura's pitching didn't go wrong. Whether it's ball power, ball speed, ball control, variation, or pitching rhythm, Sawamura still maintains it very well.
Disrupting your own rhythm right now is simply self-destructing.
"I hope this guy won't affect his own rhythm because of this suspension."
He thought so, but Miyuki wasn't really worried.
This guy has experience with finals more than anyone at Seidou High School.
Back in the strike zone, Narumiya glanced at Miyuki then turned to look at the mound.
"Done discussing secret tactics?"
"Do you think I'll tell you? Since it's a secret tactic, it naturally needs to be kept secret." Miyuki smiled very smugly.
"Tsk!" Narumiya Mei glanced at him angrily and ignored him.
Seeing Narumiya's unsteady expression, Miyuki was surprised.
'Wait!'
When Mei stood on the strike zone just now, he clearly only wanted to hit Sawamura's pitch with all his heart.
Despite Narumiya's swing, Miyuki didn't take it too seriously.
At that time, he was confident and wanted to cooperate with Sawamura to take down Mei.
But in the case of an accident, no one can say for sure, at least in terms of Narumiya Mei's state at the time, there is still the possibility of an accident.
But now, Mei's focus is broken.
The possibility of this accident is greatly reduced.
'Is that what that guy wants?'
Miyuki looked at Sawamura on the pitcher's mound in surprise and thought doubtfully.
As the game drew to a close, Sawamura's performance became more and more stable.
'No wonder people call him the Demon-King, this kid does have tricks.'
Miyuki understood Sawamura's approach somewhat.
…
