"Demon King!"
"Sawamura!!!"
"Strike them Out!!"
On the field of Koshien, tens of thousands of spectators shouted various cheering slogans. These slogans are not neat, but their will is surprisingly consistent.
They were all cheering the Ace on the mound in the center of the field.
This person, of course, is Sawamura Eijun!
In the first half of the sixth inning, Seihou High School attacked.
This round of batters, it is their turn to make the eighth, ninth, and first batter in the lineup.
In the face of these three opponents, Sawamura's performance is at ease.
Sawamura is still using the Moving ball as a core to fight the opponent.
Relying on the incomparably strong defense of the seniors behind him, Sawamura has not lost a hit until now.
In the first five innings, Seihou High School, who was the championship candidate, had a single hit in the first inning.
The Maou Sawamura Eijun's performance remains strong.
Or more effective than everyone expected!
Everyone knew that Sawamura Eijun was very solid, but they really didn't expect Sawamura Eijun to be so tough. The champion of Spring Koshien and the country's top giant, such an opponent is at a loss when facing Sawamura's pitching.
When he was against the eighth and the ninth batters of the Seihou High School, Sawamura still did not change his rhythm.
Ping!
"OUT!"
"OUT!!!"
Because all of Sawamura's pitches were in the strike zone, they couldn't even try to entangle Sawamura.
Under the strong fielding of the Senpais of Seidou High School, the balls that were hit were stopped by them.
In the blink of an eye, it is two Outs and no one on base.
Sawamura threw a total of four pitches against the two of them. So far, the count of Sawamura's pitching is scary.
Forty balls!
With two Outs in the first half of the sixth inning, Sawamura's count was just over 40.
Many professional scouts in the stands were a little unbelievable.
"This rhythm is also maintained very well!"
"If the game continues like this, the hope of Seihou High School is very slim."
"He just threw 40 balls, and there are only three innings left in the game. Sawamura-kun's performance is even more scary! In the next inning, even if he aims to strike out all, Looks like that he will still be going strong."
Although Akutsu of Seihou High School performed well, in the eyes of these professional scouts, it is only a matter of time before Seidou High School conquers Akutsu.
Instead, if Seihou High School wanted to conquer Sawamura Eijun they had little hope, even if this game was dragged to a playoff.
Sawamura Eijun's rhythm is kept so well, so far, the players from Seihou High School have not been able to overcome Sawamura's Moving ball…
After they conquered Sawamura Eijun's Moving ball, Sawamura Eijun can still switch his rhythm.
Not to mention Seihou High School's own players, even these bystanders couldn't see that they had any hope of scoring.
"What a horrible guy!"
The game became more and more chilling, even though the score was still 0-0. But invisibly, Seidou High School has already had the momentum of the game.
Two Outs, no one on base.
and now, the lineup of Seihou High School returned to their first batter.
"Seihou High School requests a replacement!"
At this moment, Seihou High School, which had been passive for a while, suddenly took action.
They chose to replace the first batter!
This really confused the current battery of Seidou High School.
'What happened?' Sawamura was a little confused, looking at Chris in the catcher position.
'How could I know?' Chris was equally confused too.
If they wanted to replace with a Pinch hitter, shouldn't it be more appropriate with the eighth and ninth batters? why did you get the first Batter, and after two Outs at that?
Although they didn't get a lot of information from Seihou High School before, they still knew that the original first batter was not weak, and the hit rate was very high.
His speed on the bases is also remarkable.
How could such a person suddenly be replaced?
It is really hard to understand.
Could it be that the newly replaced player without any information is stronger than the original first batter?
'No, whatever this is, it looks like they are planning something!'
If he is indeed stronger than the original No. 1, then he cannot be a substitute, but a main force.
"Could it be that Seihou High School has given up the game?"
In the rest area of Seidou High School, the players were also at a loss.
They really don't understand what Nishidera Yuu, the Coach of Seihou High School, is planning.
Coach Kataoka stayed very calm.
He intends to let Chris and Sawamura deal with it.
In fact, there is no way. After all, they didn't have any information in their hands. Even if he gave Sawamura and Chris a sign, he didn't know what to tell them.
'Bring it on!'
Chris gave Sawamura a sign.
'Since we don't have any information, let's try it out first.'
A Moving ball in the inner corner!
Throwing the Moving ball into the inside or outside corner, Sawamura's Pitching Form will make it difficult for others to hit it. Not to mention the full swing right now!
Sawamura Eijun's Moving ball is not without any weaknesses. If there weren't any weaknesses, Sawamura wouldn't have bothered to develop Breaking balls with clear breaks in the path of the ball.
In addition to that, there is also a weakness, the Moving ball is somewhat restrained by a strong swing.
If some monster Batters are allowed to show their swings at full strength, even if they don't hit the center of the ball, they're likely to force the ball to the outfield by brute force.
Therefore, when Chris asks Sawamura for a normal Moving ball, he will have Sawamura throw it into the corner.
With such a corner ball, the batter can't fully swing the bat, and Sawamura's Moving ball is safer.
Although he didn't know the specific level of the opponent, Sawamura still had the confidence to solve the opponent in front of him.
Not to mention how high his Moving ball level was, the opponent hadn't seen him throw the ball with his own eyes before, and the strange Pitching Form alone was enough to confuse him for a while.
Sawamura was full of confidence, but right now something changed.
The batter who had just got to the field suddenly changed to a bunt.
Ping!
After the white ball was knocked, it rolled to the middle of the third base and the mound.
'Cheat bunt?'
Sawamura's eyes are so sharp. As soon as he saw the opponent's actions, he knew what the opponent was going to do.
"Leave it to me!"
After saying that to Masuko at third base, Sawamura ran all the way to where the baseball fell, picked up the ball, and sent it to first base.
The whole process has no lag at all, and it is amazingly fast.
It's just that he is about to have someone faster than him. The batter who made the bunt at first base has already run to first base right now.
"SAFE!"
The second effective hit at Seihou High School came up.
Seihou High School dugout.
The Asura, Akutsu smiled.
"Everything is ready..."
