Chapter 62： : lack of skill

"Strike, strike out!"

Sawamura scored the last out in the first half of the sixth inning, extending his hopes of the game to the second half of the sixth inning.

The score was 2:1. Before the end of the game, Akagi had two more chances to attack, and in these two rounds, it would be Akagi's turn to play at the top. That is to say, the upper line consisting of Sawamura, Oda and Fengxiang.

Although there is little hope for Akagi's comeback, it is definitely not without.

The most important thing is the strikeout that Sawamura just won, which is really amazing. When seeing the weakness of Akagi's defense, most of the audience believed that Tenryuji would continue to carry out the short stick offensive. As long as they can continue to park the ball in the direction of third base, then Tenryuji is very likely to get extra points.

In fact, Tenryu-ji Temple, which is famous all over the country for its maneuverability, really adopted a bunt offensive. In order to match their speed advantage, the players of Tianlong Temple practice bunts, especially tactical bunts for a long time.

Except for a really limited few strong sticks, everyone else's bunt skills are pretty good. That's why they can accurately keep Sawamura's pitch on the third base side.

Tenryu Temple's eighth stick, when he stood on the strike zone, also assumed a bunt stance. However, his plan was seen through by Sawamura, and he was deliberately mobilized from the beginning.

Sawamura's first shot was a very tricky high ball from the inside corner. The location of the shot was coincidentally exactly where the batter's right hand held the bat. Although the palm was completely hidden behind the bat, in such a position, the batter shrank his hand subconsciously, and the baseball came in from where his bat had been.

After a good shot, Sawamura's second shot was a big shot, and the baseball bounced off the ground and got into Fengxiang's glove. This was also beyond the batter's expectations. He didn't have time to recover his bat, and he also calculated the bat.

After two strikes, Sawamura threw the third ball in the way he had just made a big shot.

The batter is not stupid. He can't hit the bounced ball with a short shot, so he took back his bat. It's just a pity that the ball was a good one.

And just like that, the batter was struck out.

In the bullpen of Tianlong Temple, assistant coach Xiaomu muttered angrily: "Cut, luck is really bad."

On the last ball, if the batter didn't let it go, maybe Tenryuji could lead the opponent 3:1. 3:1 and 2:1, although they are only one point apart, they represent two completely different situations.

Akagi Middle School used to tie Nagano Toritsu by two points in the last game, but it was absolutely impossible for them to chase Tenryuji in the last game.

The reason is actually quite simple. Because Akagi Middle School needs the most feared two hitters. Sawamura Eijun and Feng Xiangou are separated. Sawamura is the first, and Fengxiang is the third. In the second half of the six innings, it started from the eighth bar of Akagi.

"bad luck?"

The old man Yamano shook his head and muttered, but said nothing. Perhaps he was the only one who saw Sawamura's extraordinary pitching this time.

The sixth game, the second half. Akagi Middle School attacked.

"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"nice shot!"

"strike out!"

There was no slack. Even though Akagi's friends really worked hard, Nanami Haruka easily got two strikeouts from Akagi Middle School.

Not to mention his sharp changing ball, just the straight ball with his speed soaring to 130, is not something that the little friends of Akagi Middle School can handle.

With two outs and no hits, the batter got the first bat.

"First hit, pitcher, Sawamura-san!"

Originally, Sawamura played the first shot, even if he planned to fight Nanami Haruka in the sixth game. It's just a pity that Nanami Haruka didn't give Akagi so many opportunities to play. Except for his hits in the first inning, in other innings, whether it was him or Fengxiang, Oda didn't get any effective hits from Nanami.

So the scene was embarrassing, and Sawamura had to stand on the strike zone with two outs. If Akagi Middle School still has the slightest chance, it's that he has to hit base and get back to home run.

"The chance is really not big~"

With a wry smile, Sawamura had no choice but to push hard. If he didn't get on, Chicheng would have no chance at all.

Standing upright on the strike zone, the bat in Sawamura's hand swayed slightly, it seemed to be bigger than the real bat.

On the pitcher's mound, Nanami Haruka's eyes floated a little when he saw this scene.

He had seen Sawamura's attack method many times. In the Kanto Conference, and even in the national competition, there are many strong fights with such a standard preparation posture.

"Pitching looks like all kinds of strange things. But swinging is different. It's very normal."

To complain, Nanami Haruka's entire attention was focused on Sawamura. He had already dealt with Sawamura once before, and this time he still had the confidence to deal with Sawamura again.

As long as Sawamura is dealt with here, it will cut off all hope of Akagi.

Come on, let me show you my curveball, can you hit it?

"Whoosh!"

The small white ball flew to Sawamura's hand along a mysterious trajectory Sawamura swings the bat decisively, the bat and the baseball interlaced, and no one touched anyone.

"nice shot!"

The first ball was missed and the number of **** fell behind.

Sawamura's face became more solemn. Maybe it was his own illusion. He felt that the more Haruka Nanami threw the ball, the sharper the ball became.

"Hoo~"

Taking a deep breath, Sawamura's eyes were fixed on Nanami Haruka, waiting for his second goal.

"Hey!"

Like a whistling arrow, the straight ball from the outside corner that caught people off guard made Sawamura subconsciously fail to react.

"nice shot."

Two consecutive strikes, straight **** mixed with sharp changing balls, coupled with smooth rhythm, a ball speed of 130 kilometers...

Nanami Haruka is a well-known super pitcher in the country.

Sawamura had to admire this. Although he has experience, after all, he is not a player who is good at hitting, and his current physical fitness is not comparable to that of the peak of his previous life.

If he had the peak physical fitness in his previous life, with a 130-kilometer ball, he could completely wait for the ball to enter his hand before swinging the bat.

Now, this can only be a good wish.

When it seemed that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, Sawamura suddenly showed a short stick.

Short stick, at this time?

Seeing Sawamura swinging the short stick, Nanami Haruka was stunned subconsciously. In his opinion, with Sawamura's speed, no matter how good he was in bunts, it would be difficult for him to get on base safely under the guard of Tianlong Temple.

Then this bunt will be very interesting!

Do you want to cheat?

How can it be so easy?

Nanami Haruka sneered and threw his third ball, a curveball.

"Whoosh!"
