NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61: Just Hit This One
Chapter 61: Just Hit This One
Two Outs, no one on base.
Miyuki and Sawamura received their strongest opponent, Furano, with a very calm attitude.
So far, Furano is the superstar who has hit two home runs and scored five Runs.
In a powerhouse team, there may not be the kind of strong Pitchers and strong Catchers that can lead the team. But there will be no shortage of strong Batters that can shake the opponent's pitcher’s determination.
For example, Inashiro’s fourth Batter Harada Masatoshi, Ichidai’s fourth Batter Hoshida Mamoru, and Teito’s fourth Batter Kengo Inui, including Seidou’s fourth Batter Yuuki Tetsuya.
These guys, that one is a monster. Even Teito's Kengo Inui, who has the weakest sense of existence, once hit a home run of Narumiya Mei!
How awesome is that!
And Furano is such a strong Batter, a strong Batter almost like a monster.
'He’s not the same as the previous opponent, so be careful.'
Miyuki looked at Sawamura cautiously and saw the flame in the pitcher’s eyes.
'Isn’t that better?'
Only by Striking Out such a Batter can the Yokohama be completely shaken.
In a team with a pitcher as the core, hit the Ace with a home run; in a team with a batter as the core, Strikeout the fourth batter.
In baseball, nothing shatters momentum like this.
Now Sawamura’s plan is to Strikeout Furano.
“This guy!”
As the Catcher, Miyuki was pleased by Sawamura’s motivation.
As a catcher, he was smashed by Furano twice before, and he was also very angry, okay?
If there is a chance to take revenge, Miyuki will of course not be soft-hearted.
'Come on then~'
The first ball: a Change-up to the outside corner!
The Change-up must have left a deep imprint in Furano’s mind just now. The probability of swinging the bat directly on the first ball is not high. And now, by making his impression of the Change-up deepen, will be very helpful for the subsequent ball allocation.
Of course, the ball must be thrown well. Furano is a batter who waits for the ball to enter his hand before swinging. If the ball is too sweet, it is likely to be swept out easily.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura nodded slightly.
The right foot was raised high, and then fell fiercely, like a battle axe. With this momentum, the baseball in Sawamura’s left hand roared out under the cover of the glove.
Whoosh!
'Here comes the ball!'
In the strike area, Furano was shocked.
Sure enough, there was no spot to see the ball.
Just as Furano was stunned, the ball came.
This ball with such a speed is Change-up.
The moment he judged it to be a Change-up, Furano didn’t miss this opportunity and swung the bat directly.
Compared with the Straight ball where you can’t see the ball, the Change-up pitch of Sawamura is actually easier to aim.
'Just hit this one!'
With a decision in his heart, Furano made a decisive move without any hesitation.
Ping!
The white ball was hit and flew out of bounds.
“FOUL!”
On the strike zone, Furano’s face was a little stagnant.
The ball just now escaped from the outer corner, so it did not fall into the field.
‘Sawamura Eijun, this guy’s Change-up is not easy to hit.’
“Whoo~”
He let out a sigh of relief, and Furano felt a little regretful. He had already hit a Change-up, and he probably won’t have the chance to encounter such a good ball again.
Miyuki, the Catcher, glanced at Furano in surprise.
On the first ball, he swung at Sawamura’s Change-up.
'This guy is indeed a monster!'
'In this case, the second ball.'
Miyuki gave Sawamura a sign.
On the pitcher’s mound, Sawamura didn’t hesitate, nodded slightly, and threw his second pitch.
Whoosh!
A small white ball flew out from Sawamura’s hand like a laser beam.
On the strike zone, Furano’s eyes flashed with surprise.
Again!
On the second Pitch, Sawamura still threw a Change-up, which caught Furano, who was aiming for a straight ball, by surprise.
However, he will not let go of the Change-up without a fight.
Ping!
The small white ball was hit and fell out of bounds again.
At this moment, Furano’s mood was already a little messy.
With two identical Change-ups in a row, he couldn't even make it go into the field.
The change in the change-up is too good.
So what about your third ball?
'Keep throwing a Change-up, or straight, inside or outside?'
Different thoughts kept popping up in Furano’s mind.
Just when he was struggling, Sawamura pitched the third ball.
Whoosh!
The small white ball continued to accelerate and flew towards the inner corner.
On the strike zone, Furano’s eyes became serious.
'Here comes the ball, the inside corner!'
In such a position, it is impossible to throw a Change-up, it must be a Straight.
'Come on!'
Every cell in Furano’s body was beating, and his tempered body naturally responded to the timing.
Here it is, right now.
Seeing the ball approaching, Furano didn’t hesitate any longer and swung the bat decisively.
Buzz!
Strong swing, as if to take out the air around the strike area.
The momentum was amazing, but the bat didn’t touch the ball.
“SNAP!”
The baseball passed over the plate faster than the bat and got into Miyuki’s glove.
In the position of the catcher, Miyuki admired it in his mind.
'Perfect!'
“STRIKE!”
“BATTER OUT!!!”
Three outs, offense, and defense exchange.
Sawamura had his sixth Strikeout.
The audience in the stands, the fans was so excited that they couldn’t restrain themselves.
“Six!”
“So cool! Sawamura Eijun!!!!”
“Just Strikeouts all the way.”
“As expected of the Demon-King.”
“Amazing!!!”
In the bench in Seidou.
The Players were as excited as the stands.
“So cool, Sawamura!”
“Eijun-kun!!!”
“Stinky boy, although usually a look at you makes me unhappy, but this Pitching is too beautiful.”
Chris looked around with a smile, and you have to say that Sawamura’s pitching is really impressive.
Kataoka was also very happy, with a rare smile on his face, even though he was wearing sunglasses, it couldn’t hide his smile.
On the lounge chair.
Furuya Satoru clenched his fists unwillingly, if he went out, he could do it too.
Tanpa looked at the majestic Sawamura in a complicated way and was also unwilling.
Is there really such a big gap between them?
On the other side, in the dugout of Yokohama.
Everyone in Yokohama, who was stunned by Sawamura’s neat Strikeouts, looked at the opposing team in disbelief, to be precise, at a person on the team.
First-year freshman, Sawamura Eijun!
This guy is still a freshman there, he’s just a monster, a super monster.
Even Oyama and Furano were Struck out.
Those are all strong Batters, especially Furano, who is a super-strong batter at the national level.
“Don’t be discouraged, the game is not over yet, we are still ahead. As long as we survive two innings, we will win. Come on!”
There is no hope of conquering Sawamura in a short time.
At this time, the experienced Yokohama Coach immediately changed his strategy.
As for Sawamura, it’s good to collect his information slowly in the future.
There is always a chance for revenge!
Now, the most important thing is to win this game.
