It turned out to be a screw ball!
The huge anti-shock force from his hand caught Sawamura by surprise.
Before he could react, the baseball bounced and landed right in front of the shortstop.
The ball bounced off the ground, and Sawamura ran to first base in vain.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
Two outs, someone at second base.
There is no way for Sawamura to get out of the game. Even if he has the speed of the warehouse, he will never run to first base when the shortstop is in front of the landing bouncing ball.
Fortunately, Ryosuke Kominato was well prepared and started running to second base before Sawamura struck.
Although Sawamura was out, Ryosuke Kominato ran into the scoring circle very steadily.
Qingdao High School's chance to score is still not cut off.
"form!"
"form!!"
The Qingdao supporters in the stands shouted the formed names in unison, hoping that the captain can help the team come out on top.
After Sawamura was out, they had a very bad feeling in their hearts. Now they desperately need it, and Qingdao High School has an advantage.
In the rest area of Qingdo High School.
The feeling of the audience, Qing Dao's supervision and coach, felt more clearly.
"The last ball?"
Ochichi asked Sawamura, who was facing the end.
Sawamura nodded and affirmed: "Yes, it should be a screw ball. After the ball entered the hand, it moved to the outside. The rotation is 100% a screw ball."
really!
Ochiai nodded, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
The screwball, because of the physical damage to the pitcher, is on the verge of extinction in professional baseball.
Unexpectedly, among the current high school students, there are still people who have such a terrible weapon.
"In the previous data, there is no record of screwball at all!"
Chris, the main catcher, said softly.
Sawamura nodded.
Although Aodou hadn't specifically studied the tactics against the troll Otomaki High School, Sawamura had read the general information.
In my impression, the trump card of trolls has never thrown a screw ball.
If it wasn't for the lack of defense in his heart, even in the face of the screwball, Sawamura would not be at all helpless.
"His screwball has not fully grown. The raid may have some effects. As long as everyone is familiar with it, I believe it is not impossible to deal with it."
Sawamura comforted everyone and said.
certainly.
These words are not all consolation, as far as Sawamura himself can see, the ball is not missed. Mainly depends on luck, and it takes time to get used to it.
What really made him fearful was the attitude of the troll Otujimaki. In the finals of Koshien, the troll had not used his full strength and could still hide his strength.
Honestly, this is not a good sign.
"Ping!"
As if a tornado had blown through, he hit the ball in a solid form, and the ball flew all the way to the outfield.
"pretty!"
"It's out!"
With such a ball, the friends in the rest area of Qingdao High School couldn't help but get excited.
Sawamura also smiled.
The captain is the captain, and his swing is all over the green road...
Just when Qing Dao's friends thought that this point had entered the pocket, a figure flew out from the troll's field, and firmly caught the ball that Kie Cheng hit into his glove.
"Snapped!"
"Out!"
Sawamura's smile froze on his face, and the surroundings became silent.
The ball that was originally thought to be a 10-9, was actually caught by someone?
In the troll outfield position, the bespectacled Sven boy stood up, he raised his gloves.
Sawamura's eyes flashed.
Don't mention this guy, he's still his acquaintance.
The four-bar, catcher of the former Qingzhu Middle School, and the partner of the township, Rinji Okagi.
"This guy is very good at being an outfielder!"
Sawamura was very emotional.
Three outs, offense and defense exchange.
Qingdao High School's offense in the first inning came to an end, leaving only Ryosuke Kominato on second base, a rudimentary base.
In the rest area, the players from Qingdao High School changed their equipment and went to the field.
The lineup is No. 1 pitcher, Eijun Sawamura.
Number two, catcher, Chris.
Number three, first baseman, formed.
No. 4, second baseman, Ryosuke Kominato.
No. 5, third baseman, Masuko Toru.
Six, shortstop, Kuramochi.
No. 7, left fielder, Itai.
No. 8, the backbone, Izashiki Jun.
No. 9, right fielder, White State.
In the final final, the main force of Qingdao High School played!
Before going on the court, Chris communicated with Sawamura: "I can't stimulate your potential like Miyuki did. When you get to the court, you can adjust it yourself. If you match the ball, it's better to let your opponents miss the bat, or let them Call out?"
"Just swing the bat and lose it!"
Sawamura affirmed: "The other party has shown a sense of trump card presence, how can we not fight."
"Okay, what about the bad ball?"
"You don't need bad shots, it's all about good shots."
Seeing Nitta's screwball, Sawamura's genes for pitchers exploded.
Breathing in the air on the Jiaziyuan Stadium, listening to the deafening cheers around. Sawamura felt that the cells in his body began to beat restlessly.
In the second half of the game, Troll High School attacked.
Last night, Qingdao High School studied the information on trolls and finally came to a conclusion that the team has a high probability of scoring in the first game.
So at the beginning, be careful.
"First shot, outfielder, Takeda-san."
Looking at Takeda walking into the strike zone, the opponent's information automatically appeared in Chris's mind.
Takeda, who is very fast, is supposed to be a good base stealer.
But in his record, there is almost no record of bunts and steals, all relying on the dignified duel with the opponent, the hits won The hit rate is as high as 30%!
certainly.
Therefore, the possibility of the opponent's bunt cannot be ruled out. According to Nitta's performance before, it is not difficult to see that the trolls obviously did not do their best in the game before the final.
In this case, the pitching needs to be more cautious.
The first ball: a cross ball with a high inside corner!
on the mound.
Sawamura nodded slightly when he saw the code Chris gave him.
As expected of Master Chris, he understands his heart.
The glove in his right hand was like a wall and was pushed out by Sawamura. As the center of gravity shifted, his left hand was like a whip, throwing the baseball out of his hand.
Takeda on the strike zone, watching the baseball coming, prepares for a bunt.
However, there is no chance to find it!
The small white ball almost rubbed against his chest and flew into Chris' gloves.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
Takeda's face became ugly. In the situation just now, he couldn't use a short stick at all!
He can't use the small side of the bat for bunts, can he?
Damn, I have never used bunts before, how did the people of Qingdao see through their plans?
Takeda's doubts in his heart have not been figured out yet. On the pitcher mound, Sawamura's second ball is coming.
"Whoosh!"
So fast!
Not only can't see the shot point, but the rhythm of pitching is also frighteningly fast, which makes people caught off guard.
In order not to be chased by the number of strikes, Takeda should have swung the ball, but he failed to take it.
In his stupefied effort, Sawamura's pitch came.
In a panic, he didn't even have time to discern the path of the ball.
"Snapped!"
"nice shot!"
In the blink of an eye, Ryo Sawamura took the lead and chased the batter.
At this time, he has just started to warm up.
