Chapter 62: Victory in the First Battle

At the end of the three games, the score on the field did not change, it was still 3:0!

I have to say, Muto still has two brushes. Oda, Yamaguchi's own striking strength is good, otherwise he wouldn't have caught the pitcher's swing in the first round.

But they were successively defeated by Muto's pitching.

For middle school students who are not strong in their own swing and who do not master the pulling skills, pitchers with precise ball control and pitchers with particularly fast ball speeds are extremely deadly targets.

Although Muto's own ball speed is not fast, his ball control combined with the defense of Santai Middle School honed to match his ball control, combined with the two, his strength is far more than one plus one equals two.

It's not surprising that Oda and Yamaguchi faced him for the first time and could do nothing.

Afterwards, Feng Xiang swung the bat with all his strength and was about to hit the ball over the infielder's head. Because there were very few bad balls from Muto, Feng Xiang also made a point and played Goofy.

On the other hand, Sawamura did not give in too much.

At this time, Santai Middle School also discovered that although Sawamura's pitching speed is very fast, strictly speaking, it should be the same type of pitcher as Muto. They all get the outs by getting the batter to keep hitting the ball and relying on the fielding.

"That said, he's also a ball-handling pitcher!"

After Santai's coach understood this, he immediately gave orders to his teammates.

A pitcher whose life is on the ball is heavily dependent on the team's defense. In order to cooperate with Muto, the entire team practiced for a whole year. Does Akagi's team have such a strong defense?

Holding such doubts, he immediately let his team shake Akagi's defense.

It's just a pity that they trained for a year in order to cooperate with Muto. Akagi is also a team with pitchers as the core. From the very beginning of the team, the little friends have devoted themselves to assisting Sawamura.

So far, they have been working diligently for a year and a half.

In terms of the strength of the garrison, none of the brothers in Sawamura would betray them.

Santai's attack was quickly disintegrated by the strong defense of Chicheng's friends.

In the fourth inning on the other side, although Sawamura went to base, his friends after that were all dealt with by Muto.

By the end of the fifth inning, neither side scored any more.

The score is still 3:0!

At this point in the game, even Akagi was surprised. Although Sawamura was a little bit fishy when he pitched. But they hit but never let go. Up to now, Akagi has only scored one hit from Mutoki.

And the creator of this hit is Sawamura.

Although Chicheng Middle School is not a team that is good at attacking, the defensive power displayed by Santai Middle School is still amazing.

In other words, their strength is indeed qualified to play against Akagi Middle School. Although the odds of winning are not very high, there is always a 30% to 40% chance.

Mutoki stood on the pitcher's mound, bringing a qualitative change to the entire Santai Middle School.

With such strength and such an ace pitcher, it is no wonder that the coach of Santai Middle School is ambitious and wants to create miracles. Even at the decision to give up the Chiba County championship.

It's just a pity that because of one of his decision mistakes, Santai Middle School completely lost the chance to win.

The score of 3:0 is neither too big nor too small. This score alone is really not enough to make the opponent feel hopeless on the baseball field.

But if the opponent is Akagi, this score is enough to make 99.9% of the national team completely desperate.

The sixth game began. In this game, Mutoki performed as always.

He first used a lob to solve Yamaguchi.

Once out, no one hits base.

At this time, it was Fengxiang Aoyi's turn again.

"Ping!"

swinging like a volcanic eruption,

Directly swept the white ball out.

The white baseball, from the moment it was hit, until it hit the ground, the total time was a blink of an eye.

In such a short period of time, the fielders of Santai Middle School only had time to extend their gloves symbolically, but where is the time? The small white ball passed through the garrison and flew to the outfield.

Feng Xiang went to second base in one breath.

Once out, there's someone at second base!

At this time, it was Sawamura's turn to strike.

Feng Xiang shook his arm and nodded at Sawamura.

He believes in Sawamura's strength!

Sawamura smiled bitterly: Being a four-stick is really stressful.

Although he complained like this, when he was standing on the strike zone, Sawamura's eyes were bright and scary. Every cell in his body seemed to be beating with a joyful energy.

The bat in his hand was raised high, his eyes narrowed slightly, and Sawamura's every move made people feel very uncomfortable. This feeling is even more pronounced when standing in the position of the pitcher and catcher of San Tai Middle School.

On the pitcher's mound, a drop of cold sweat oozes out of Muto's forehead.

From what he felt, the entire strike belt was shrouded in Sawamura. No matter where he casts it, it seems that Sawamura can hit it. Even though he's a pitcher who relies on fielding to get outs, it's a scary feeling.

"Need a escort?"

Now is the first out, there are people at second base, and the bag on first base is empty.

The catcher was embarrassed by Muto, and gave him a secret signal, but unfortunately, Muto refused without hesitation.

"no!"

If it is evenly matched, it is not impossible for them to recommend Sawamura. But now they are three points behind, if you want to have a chance, you must kill Sawamura head-on.

First, let Sawamura score no points, and then the next game will recover the points from Sawamura's hands.

These three Thais have a chance!

Unfortunately, this is destined to be just Muto's own wish.

"Ping!"

With Sawamura's swing, the outside corner kick was accurately pulled to the direction of third base. Let the fielders of Santai Middle School, who are on the defensive at first base, flutter in the air.

The baseball lands, forming a long hit.

Sawamura ran to second base and sent Fengxiang back to home plate.

With a total score of 4:0, Akagi scored additional points.

Of course, this score is not the most surprising. Anyway, few people are optimistic that Santai can come back from a three-point deficit.

What surprised them the most was Sawamura!

in the stands.

"Pull it!"

In the eye sockets of the old man Hiroshi Yamano, the eyeballs almost flew out.

With the physical quality of middle school students, they rarely come into contact with the skills of pulling and beating. Even if there is, it is only those members who play hardball youth baseball who will have contact.

Before Sawamura, although the strike strength is extraordinary. But such strike skills have never been shown.

"Where is the end of your potential?"

The old fox said with blurred eyes.

...

"Kanto Conference, the first round, the third game. Nagano Akagi Middle School played Chiba Santai Middle School. The total score was 4:0, and Akagi Middle School won."

There is no suspense, Akagi defeated Santai 4:0 and advanced to the top eight in Kanto!
