Chapter 25: Grow in the Game
In the second half of the game, Akagi attacked.
Yamaguchi hit Uchigo Goofy and was killed.
Once out, no one hits base.
In the second, Oda hit and hit the base. Immediately after the third bat, Feng Xiang, hit a double base and advanced to second base, while Oda also hit third base.
Once out, there are people at second and third base.
In the fourth round, Sawamura shot and hit a super long hit. Oda and Fengxiang ran back to home plate one after another and scored two points. Sawamura himself went to second base.
Oda, Fengxiang, and Sawamura's three-game play helped Akagi lead by two points.
The total score was 2:0.
Akagi Middle School has determined its advantages from the very beginning.
Next is the fifth stick, shortstop, Fengliang Zhengtai.
"Strike, strike, strike, strikeout!!"
The weak wind was cool and did not touch the pitch of the Beixin pitcher, and was struck out.
During this process, Sawamura was not idle. He seized the opportunity and quietly advanced to third base while his opponent was unprepared.
Beixin's catcher, of course, has restraints, but unfortunately his restraint is one step slower than Sawamura's.
"Safety!"
Two outs, someone at third base!
"Sixth, second baseman, Nobu Nakagawa."
Nakagawa upholds Sawamura's teachings and plays whenever he comes.
"Good ball, good ball!!"
For two consecutive goals, he did not touch the ball.
Then the third ball, I don't know if it was a bad luck, or a few months of swinging, and it finally had an effect. In short, he hit the ball out.
"Ping!"
The ball flew out, landed halfway between the pitcher and second baseman, and then passed through the pair's fielding.
"Hit!"
Sawamura was overjoyed and ran to home plate quickly. Next, Sawamura saw an incredible scene, a figure running towards him from the opposite side.
It is Ashin and Nakagawa.
This guy hit the left. After hitting the ball, he forgot to turn around and run for first base, but just wanted to run forward, so he rushed to third base and had a meeting with Sawamura.
"Brother, you can't be so noisy!"
Sawamura now has the heart to cry. This is the 1/8 final in Nagano, not the first round of the competition. Such a mistake is enough to make Akagi stink for thousands of years.
"Run back!"
With a loud shout, he finally woke up Nakagawa Shin. Ashin stopped in a panic, then turned around and ran towards first base again. But after such a delay, there was still time.
Beixin's backbone, passed the ball back, and Axin was blocked and out of the game.
Three outs, offense and defense exchange.
In the bullpen on the Akagi side, Feng Xiang took off his catcher gear with a livid face.
So embarrassing, so embarrassing!
Disgraceful to grandma's house! ! !
Hit the hit, can go the wrong direction. This is the first time Fengxiang has seen him since he started playing.
The audience at the scene was also stunned by Nakagawa Shin's actions at first.
"Talent, Akagi!"
"Go straight to third base! Next time, you'll go straight to home plate, it's closer."
"Hee hee, ha ha ha~"
Nakagawa letter blushed like a monkey's butt, wishing he could find a hole to crawl in.
Sawamura looked up at the sky. The sun at the end of June was already hot, and it was a little hot on his face.
"fine!"
Resisting the small universe that was about to explode, Sawamura forced a smile: "You finally hit a hit, Ashin."
Nakagawa Shin looked at Sawamura with a look of surprise, as if yes, he did hit a hit.
"But, can you serve Lao Tzu, first base, then second base, third base, and finally home plate, remember to step on the base bag! How many times have I said that?"
Seeing the surprise in Nakagawa Shin's eyes,
Sawamura finally broke out. He pinched Ashin's ear and roared in his ear.
The two grew up with bare bottoms, and their friendship was different from Yamaguchi's. For new friends, be as warm as spring, and give them the same care as their home. For old friends, that's another story.
Yamazaki and Cang Yue fought and dragged Sawamura away, and Ashin lost the guilt and surprise he had before, at least he didn't show all his emotions on his face, and his whole person looked much calmer. He didn't think that Sawamura was bullying him by pulling his ears in front of so many people. Only a real brother would make such a fuss. He knew that Xiaorong did this to distract him and prevent him from indulging in self-blame.
"After that, I won't!"
Nakagawa letter solemnly assured. Successfully hitting the ball gave Nakagawa Xin more confidence. Even if there were serious mistakes later, it would not be so difficult to accept.
Sawamura nodded in relief.
Even if there is a coincidence, everyone does have a lot of growth.
Should he also trust everyone's defense and try a different way of pitching?
The game continued, and when Sawamura pitched, he changed his previous strategy.
On the first ball, he threw a sharp inside corner.
Beixin Middle School's four-stick swing was too late, and he didn't hit the ball well, so he became Gao Fei.
"Yamaguchi!"
The ball flew to third base, and Sawamura reminded Yamaguchi to defend.
Yamaguchi was very nervous, but he kept reminding himself.
Gotta catch it, gotta catch it! I can definitely catch it! ! !
"Snapped!"
Taking two steps forward, Yamaguchi took the dropped baseball firmly into his glove.
Catch it, really catch it!
Yamaguchi's face flushed with excitement. He finally got the goofy ball into his glove in the official game.
"Out!"
"here you go!!"
"Excellent, Yamaguchi."
"You are the most handsome, Big Thumb!"
Akagi's little friend shouted in surprise, and even Sawamura gave Yamaguchi a thumbs up.
Yamaguchi raised the catch glove excitedly, his eyes were getting wet, and he muttered in his mouth: "I got it, I got it!"
in the audience.
The two audience members watched this scene in disbelief.
"Isn't it just an ordinary infield goofy? And it's a goofy ball in front of the third baseman. Even if the kindergarteners come, they can catch it. Why are the people in Akagi so excited?"
The audience asked incredulously.
The audience next to him rolled his eyes and smiled bitterly: "How do I know?"
Akagi these guys are simply a bunch of lunatic!
This is the real thought of the majority of the audience at the scene.
People who are not from Akagi cannot understand the mood of the little friends at this time.
Nakagawa's hit, Yamaguchi's successful fielding, this is the first time!
With the first time, there is a second time.
In subsequent games, Sawamura frequently let his opponent hit his own ball, relying on defense to get the number of eliminations.
Third base, second base, shortstop, outfield!
Everyone has more or less the experience of successfully defending once or twice, or flying high, or looking for the first landing and returning the ball.
All in all, everyone showed their growth.
