"Baseball is also a game, where you win by losing the lowest amount of runs!!"
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura remembered the famous words of Narumiya.
He seldom said such things, because if he opened his mouth to say such words, he would usually be bragging.
But now, Sawamura remembered it.
He still doesn't know What is the attacking skills level of this pinch hitter who came up on behalf of the first batter.
But his speed is absolutely amazing. From Sawamura's estimation, his speed was not even below Kuramochi's. If they knew this information, Sawamura and the infielders of Seidou would never let him have a chance to hit the base with a bunt, but they have no information, giving the opponent a chance to such a surprise.
'But…why? This is still strange!'
Sawamura could not understand why the Coach of Seihou High School would send such a batter up after two Outs.
The player he replaced was incredible, that's all. However, it is also very unreasonable to use such a substitute after two Outs. Usually, when there are no Outs and a runner goes to base, it is more appropriate to use bunts for a forced score in a pitcher duel game like this…
But now, with two Outs, Sawamura can completely ignore the runner on the base bag and just deal with the batters.
'Go all out!'
In the position of catcher, Chris made the same judgment as Sawamura. He also thinks that with Sawamura's current pitching count, it's okay to go all out.
Bring it on!
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE!"
"STRIKE BATTER OUT!!!"
Although the stealing base Batter of Seihou High School successfully hit the base. However, Sawamura, who used his full firepower, successfully won the last Out. Letting the runner who got on first base become a useless stump.
With Sawamura's strong pitching, the supporters of Seidou High School in the audience also felt helpless and confused.
Right now, no one has understood what Seihou High School wants to do.
The game continues.
In the second half of the sixth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
"Second Batter, second baseman, Kominato-kun."
"Go to base!"
Before Kominato Ryosuke came to the field, Kataoka specially ordered him.
Kominato Ryosuke didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
He then walked to the zone, and in the stands 'Cutie Honey' started playing.
"BALL!"
Ping!
"FOUL!"
***
After tangling with eleven balls, Kominato Ryosuke successfully got the four Ball and was Walked to first base.
"Terrible!"
In the stands, many spectators watched it in bafflement. Even if they saw it with their own eyes, it was hard for them to believe what they saw.
They are indeed seeing a batter like Kominato Ryosuke for the first time.
Amazing!
It is really strange for a player with such good batting skills.
"Who is this guy?"
"Kominato Ryosuke-kun!"
"As expected of Koshien, there are really all kinds of monsters."
The discussion in the stands is, after all, polite to an extent.
On the Internet, Kominato Ryosuke caused a bigger sensation, and it had a much wider reach.
Many people stared at the screen, seeing Kominato Ryosuke constantly forcing the opposing pitcher to throw Balls.
"Devil brother!!!"
"The King's Seidou is a well-deserved name!!!"
"So Devilish!!!"
"From now on, if you don't help the old lady cross the street when you go out, you will serve this devil!"
"He's from Kanagawa, right?"
"Kanagawa Banzai!!!"
"Seidou is in Tokyo, you know?"
"Tokyo Banzai!!!"
***
After two at-bats, Kominato Ryosuke was completely famous.
At first base, Akutsu subconsciously wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
'How horrible!'
Fortunately, he did not continue to fight with this guy, otherwise, he would be exhausted to death.
No Outs, runner at first base.
It's Sawamura's turn to strike!
"Demon King!"
"Sawamura!!"
In the stands, the audience shouted excitedly.
Ping!
Sawamura also lived up to everyone's expectations, getting a clean hit and hitting the ball into the outfield.
Sawamura took the opportunity to get to first base, and Ryosuke went straight to third base because of his early action.
No Out, runners on first and third base.
"Fourth Batter, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."
The situation is very good for Seidou High School.
Unsurprisingly.
In the face of Tetsuya, the backup pitcher from Seihou High School pitched four Balls and Walked him to base.
"BALL!"
"BALL!"
"BALL!"
"BALL!"
"Four Ball Walk!"
Yuuki went to first base, and Sawamura was pushed to second base.
The situation has become, no Out, full base!
The defense of Seihou High School, which was maintained for six innings, broke down right now.
"Seidou!"
"Seidou!!!"
This scene is naturally a favorite for the audience who support Seidou High School.
They cheered Seidou in unison as if Seihou High School was about to collapse in the next second.
"Seihou High School changed players, former first base Akutsu-kun returned to pitching mound."
Now, Akutsu came back and returned to the mound.
In the rest area of Seidou High School.
"We finally got this bastard back." Kuramochi pouted.
Miyuki's face beside him was not relaxed.
"Whether we forced him back, or whether he just waited for this opportunity, it's hard to say."
"What do you mean?" Kuramochi asked in confusion.
"You should know, when the bases are full, the harder it is to score."
"Oh, right," Kuramochi remembered and sighed.
"Why is that?" Furuya who is on the side asked.
"Because when you are on the verge of success, you become nervous!" Chris said.
On the verge of success, you became nervous!
This sentence made Furuya think about it for a long time…
On the field, the game continues.
Isashiki walked to the zone
"Damn bastard, is this to avoid Ryosuke, Sawamura, and Tetsu?"
Isashiki looked at Akutsu on the pitcher's mound with dissatisfaction.
This made him have doubts.
Akutsu himself had will in no way to Walk Kominato, Sawamura, and Yuuki one after another.
Regardless of his pride, even if Akutsu didn't care, he would still throw twelve Balls!
Now leaving the chore to the backup pitcher, he's on the loose, and he might be able to turn the tide.
"This is also okay!"
Isashiki firmly grasped the bat in his hand and looked at Akutsu on the pitcher's mound with fierce eyes.
On the mound, Akutsu threw his first ball with an expressionless face.
Whoosh!
A small white ball, like a streamer, appeared in front of Isashiki Jun.
"Don't look down on this uncle!"
Fiercely, Isashiki kicked the ball.
Ping!
After being hit, the white ball flew far away.
"FOUL!"
The thrown ball falls out of bounds.
Seidou's rest area, Kataoka's brows couldn't help beating.
'Idiot, don't swing at such obvious Balls.'
At the second base, Sawamura's eyes flashed a trace of helplessness.
'Beard-senpai has been completely hooked.'
What happened next was exactly as he had expected.
Ping!
The second ball Isashiki once again hit the ball out of bounds.
"Don't run away if you have the capability!! Face me head-to-head you brat!" Isashiki roared in dissatisfaction.
"Okay, as you wish!" On the mound, Akutsu whispered.
Whoosh!
A small white ball flew at high speed.
Isashiki gritted his teeth and swung the Batter, without hesitation at all.
Ping!
After the white ball was hit, it flew high.
SNAP!
"OUT!!"
…
