In the third round of the Summer Koshien Competition, Seidou High School was playing against the championship candidate Seihou High School, and the game was in full swing.
Although the third inning ended, the score between the two sides was still 0:0. No one scored a run, and even the hits were pitiful, only the team with their respective Ace.
But that still didn't stop the excitement of this game.
In this game, the Maou is still strong, Akutsu has sprung up, the monster Slugger Sano Shuzo is suppressed, and the Devil Brother Kominato Ryosuke awakens…
Needless to say, the performance of the Maou Sawamura Eijun strongly suppressed the luxurious line-up of Seihou High School. Even in terms of batting, his performance is impressive, and now the only hit at Seidou High School is his.
You must know that the opponent is not an empty name before, and its strength is not like the former Konan High School. The current Seihou High School is not only the country's top giants, but also the Champion candidate of this Tournament. The just-concluded Spring Koshien Champion, and is definitely one of the best among all high schools in the country.
In the face of such opponents, the Maou Sawamura can still almost crush them in pitching.
The power of terror is evident.
In addition to the Maou Sawamura, the one who surprised everyone was probably Akutsu, the current Ace pitcher of Seihou High School.
Steel needs to be refined by fire.
In the past, although The Asura Akutsu was famous, everyone felt that he was relying on the strong defense of Seihou High School, and he was not as strong as the opponents he had encountered before. Now that he competed with Seidou, everyone is surprised to find out that this guy is so powerful in pitching!
The opponent is Seidou, Seidou High School has almost the strongest lineup in the country.
On the surface, Akutsu lost one hit and two Walks. But the two Walks were all he voluntarily avoided, not completely forced by the batters from Seidou High School. The only hit that was really lost was Sawamura, and even with that hit, there were a lot of tricks in it.
In the second round of the match, didn't he just use a fishing ball to deal with Sawamura?
The entire Seidou's lineup was almost played by him.
"The strength of this guy is definitely not under Narumiya Mei and Sawamura!"
In the Seidou rest area, Kataoka's judgment of Akutsu was relatively objective.
This is also a Maou-level pitcher, just different from Narumiya Mei and Sawamura's style.
This game can be regarded as the right name for Akutsu.
Apart from the two, the most prominent in this game, it can even be said that the one who became famous in one battle was Kominato Ryosuke.
He is simply a 'Devil'!
Forcing Akutsu, who has the ball with such good control to throw Four Ball Walks…
Not to mention how big the blow to the opponent was, just thinking about it can feel the awesomeness.
"Ryo-san! That Was So Cool!"
In the second half of the third round, Seidou High School could not continue the offensive. When Ryosuke returned to the rest area, Kuramochi couldn't help but say to Ryosuke.
He also has his own style, but in the face of Akutsu, his style was not shown, and Kominato Ryosuke showed it.
This is the difference between him and Kominato Ryosuke!
Kominato Ryosuke smiled and said nothing.
He was not satisfied with his performance. Although he succeeded in getting Akutsu to throw more than a dozen Pitches, the Four-Ball Walk did not affect Akutsu's state.
"Really tenacious!"
Next time, next time he must completely defeat Akutsu.
Good ball control, good ball speed, powerful ball, and smart brain!
It's no wonder that Akutsu can suppress Seidou's lineup.
However, none of this bothered him.
"Next time, I will definitely defeat you well."
Seihou High School dugout.
All the players' faces were a bit complicated, and Akutsu felt a strong fighting spirit from the rest area of Seidou.
Clap! Clap!
The Coach of Seihou clapped his hands twice, attracting the attention of the players to himself.
"Okay, let's change our minds, in the next attack, it's our Cleanup turn to play the. So I hope everyone can adjust their status and get the score as soon as possible. In this game, the one who grabs the score first will definitely have the advantage."
"Yes!"
Seihou's players are all well-trained and answered very simply.
It's just that there is not much confidence in their voices.
When they first looked at the materials, they could feel that Sawamura's strength was very strong. Nevertheless, at that time, the batter from Seihou thought that he would have no problem conquering Sawamura.
As the champion of Spring Koshien, the Champion candidate of this Koshien, They have enough confidence!
But after the real fight, they suddenly found that their original confidence had disappeared.
Consecutive hits from Sawamura to score points are a very difficult task.
In addition to Sano Shuzo, everyone else has more or less doubts in their hearts.
Even the Coach of Seihou just gave everyone a boost of morale but did not propose a specific method to truly conquer Sawamura.
The problem for him is not just Sawamura, but also the fielders, the moment when he puts so much pressure on the Maou, he can easily switch his rhythm and depend on the fielders.
The kind of self-control and mindset needed for that should be beyond the High School level.
"I have a plan to attack Sawamura-kun."
Just when everyone was at a loss, Akutsu suddenly said in a low voice.
It was like a light suddenly lit in the dark. At this moment, all the players' eyes were on Akutsu.
"Tell me!"
Even the Coach was a little excited and took the initiative to ask.
A genius with an IQ of 200 is really different from ordinary. He already has a countermeasure!
"First, we're going to get a hit first!" Akutsu said calmly.
***
In the first half of the fourth inning, Seihou High School attacked.
The second player of Seihou High School, who just played, has his entire body tightly attached to the sideline of the strike zone.
At the position of the catcher, Chris's eyes flashed with a trace of clarity.
'Even if it is a Dead ball, do you have to go to base?'
There is a big difference between Seihou High School and the opponents they played against before. At the very least, this determination is much higher than the previous Konan High School.
'then let's just use the balls to the outside corner to decide the outcome!'
The batter is on the sideline of the strike zone, and the ball in the outside corner becomes the center!
Chris actually made Sawamura throw in the center?
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura had a somewhat playful expression on his face.
'Chris-shisho, that's too evil!'
Whoosh!
The white ball whizzed out.
Seeing this sharp ball, Seihou's second batter flashed a stern look in his eyes, and he swung the bat.
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew high.
The Seihou's second batter on the strike zone turned odd.
'Such bad luck!'
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura opened his Mitt in place and firmly caught the ball that fell from the sky into his Mitt.
SNAP!
"OUT!!!"
In the stands, someone couldn't hide the shock in his eyes.
"This is Swallow's Homecoming!!!"
