"STRIKE! BATTER OUT!"
Kuramochi had resentment on his face. He felt like he had high blood pressure, low blood sugar, and coronary heart disease at the same time.
What! The! Fuck!
"The batter actually swung the bat directly in the face of the breaking ball?"
"It's not hard to see it with how fast the ball is flying!"
"It was a Forkball just now, the break is too big."
"Komadai Fujimaki High School, Honjo Masamune! I didn't expect such a monster to be hidden in Hokkaido!"
Speaking of which, this is actually not his second time, it is the first Koshien he appeared. He also played twice in the previous games of Komadai Fujimaki High School.
But the audience seems to know that this guy is destined to become famous.
The right opponent, the right timing, and the right performance.
If you want to become famous, strength is the first thing, but sometimes you can't help but talk about this kind of luck, it's really amazing.
Just like Hongou, he has appeared in the competition several times before, and his performance is very amazing, but his fame in the Koshien has never been far.
All the eyes of the entire Koshien were attracted by Seidou High School. no one cared much about the other teams.
Komadai Fujimaki High School encountered such a situation before, and their performance was also very commendable. With their origins in Hokkaido, they passed all the way and entered the finals, becoming the biggest dark horse in this Koshien.
How can such performance be bad? In a normal year, Komadai would definitely be the most observed team.
It's a pity that they appeared at the wrong time. In this Koshien, all the teams were destined to shine less than Seidou High School.
Compared with the dark horse of Komadai Fujimaki High School, the star lineup of Seidou High School is obviously more eye-catching.
At least 60 to 70% of the previous reports about Koshien were about Seidou. It gives the impression that apart from Seidou, the other teams in Koshien have something to pay attention to. The situation was intensified after Seidou High School defeated champion candidate Seihou.
At that time, many people already regarded Seidou High School as a National Champion early on.
Therefore, when a Player of this caliber appears suddenly, he is sure to grasp the attention.
This is the case with Hongou Masamune, even though he only faced Kuramochi, the performance of this strikeout gave him extra points.
One Out, no one on base.
When Kuramochi came off, he and Ryosuke walked opposite to each other.
The two are partners in the Keystone duo, and they are also good partners in the first or second batters. Their relationship is more closer than that of other teammates.
It is naturally more convenient to exchange information.
"It is like Furuya but he learned ball control!"
This is information from Kuramochi to Ryosuke. It seems like there is not much in it, but Ryosuke instantly understands what Kuramochi wants to say.
Of course, he knows Furuya's ball speed. Coach Kataoka even gave a high evaluation at the beginning.
"If this guy can make sure all the balls are in the strike zone, he can be a very amazing pitcher, if he can to the four corners. Then Furuya can be a top-class pitcher in high school!"
In other words, this Hongou he is about to face is a top-class pitcher in high school.
"It's really exciting!"
Kominato Ryosuke walked to the strike zone with a smile and a harmless look on his face.
Those who are not familiar with him will surely be deceived by his face, Just looking at Kominato Ryosuke's appearance, you can never imagine how 'wicked' he is.
The players of Komadai High School will not be deceived by Kominato Ryosuke's harmless expression. They had already played against each other twice before. Although they did not suffer too much from Kominato Ryosuke, they did not come out unscathed.
Faced with such an opponent, how could the players at Komadai Fujimaki High School be careless?
Renji gave Hongou the sign, very cautious, and let him go all out to solve Kominato Ryosuke.
Of course, Hongou has no objection on this point. When he was in the rest area before, he couldn't wait to play against the players of Seidou High School.
Roaar!!
The small white ball appeared above the home plate in an instant, like a falling meteor.
It is now the sixth inning, and there are only four innings left before the end of the game. In this case, it doesn't make sense to continue to consume the ball count of Hongou.
Kominato Ryosuke gave up this plan before he hit the field, so he swung the bat on the first ball.
Since you're not going to drain the pitcher's pitches, you can't wait for the opponent to throw the Winning Shot. Before the decisive ball appears, take the lead to smash the opponent's Straight ball forward.
This is Kominato Ryosuke's plan from the start.
Before the opponent throws the Winning Shot, they will use a tricky Straight ball to get the strike count.
That's what Kominato Ryosuke aimed at.
Facing the Straight ball soaring toward the zone, he swung the bat directly and decisively.
Ping!
The small white ball was hit, and Kominato Ryosuke felt like he had hit a train.
'Violent, fast, and wild.'
Not only is the speed of the ball fast, but the power of the ball is not weak at all. Such an opponent made Kominato Ryosuke both excited and annoyed.
The excitement is that the opponent is really powerful, but the headache is that this power is too great, and with his small physique, he may not be able to it far.
With his teeth clenched, Kominato Ryosuke concentrated all his strength on his two swinging arms, and finally hit the ball abruptly.
The ball was hit, but Kominato Ryosuke's expression did not relax because of it.
In the confrontation just now, he was not only lacking in strength. It was also missed in accuracy, and he didn't hit the gap in defense.
The result was that the ball flew straight to the top of the third baseman, and was firmly caught in his Mitt by.
"OUT!"
The results need not say much.
Two Outs, no one on base. Right now, it was Sawamura Eijun's turn to attack.
After Kominato Ryosuke was Out, when he passed by Sawamura, he uncharacteristically did not leave any valuable information to Sawamura.
Sawamura understood this, in the face of Hongou and Renji's battery, it is estimated that he can't think of any good countermeasures for the moment.
However, fate is really wonderful. Unexpectedly, in the first year of high school, he will meet Renji and Hongou again.
After all, after they enter high school, they all need to grow up in order to keep up with the level of high school. Then he became the main force of the team and led the team to Koshien…
All of this takes time.
Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the strength of both of them has improved by leaps and bounds. Sawamura has directly become the Ace of Seidou, and Hongou has also become an important rotation pitcher for Komadai. The luck and strength of the two teams are not bad, they passed all the way and finally met in the finals.
"Fate is really amazing," Sawamura said loudly when he stood on the Box.
"True," Renji replied to him while squatting, sharing the same thought.
After all, this is the third time the three have fought on a national level. And the second time they met in finals since the second year in middle school!
