NOVEL NEXT Chapter 76: Score!!
Chapter 76: Score!!
After the small white ball was touched by the bat, it rolled beautifully between the first baseman and the pitcher. The rolling speed was just right.
The bat dropped, and Sawamura ran to first base like a madman.
His speed was so fast, although he wasn’t as fast as Kuramochi, who was like a cheetah before, but he wasn’t much slower than an average high school student. it must be known that the high school students mentioned here are based in the third grade. Sawamura is two years younger than them, and there is still a significant gap in physical development.
Taking all these into consideration, even in terms of speed, Sawamura has a lot to do.
Of course, he couldn’t compete with a talented starter like Kuramochi, but this speed was already a lot faster than that of the players of the same year!
Sawamura ran beautifully and the bunt even more beautifully.
Even if the average person rolls the baseball with his hand, he may not be able to roll the ball better than Sawamura Bunt.
Even from the most demanding professional point of view, Sawamura’s bunt was enough to score more than 95 points.
Anyone who sees it can’t help but give a thumbs up, praise it, and admire its beauty.
However, now there are not many people who are focusing on Sawamura, who used bunt. But more attention is to Ryosuke who steals the base. Although he was not very fast, he was mentally prepared and acted in advance, and he returned to home plate neatly.
Seidou scored the second point, extending the score to 0:2!
The pitcher Ito may be silly-looking, but his defense was good, rushed forward when he saw Sawamura’s bunt.
Sanjo looked at Ryosuke Kominato who was approaching, frowned, and gave Ito instructions: “Pass first base!”
At this time, if he passed the ball to home plate, and tried to touch Kominato, it would obviously be too late. On the contrary, it is first base, because there is no need to touch, as long as the pass is passed, Sawamura can be blocked, and there is a better chance of getting out.
SNAP!
The pass and Sawamura arrived at first base almost at the same time.
Sawamura and Narita’s first baseman, Koizumi, looked at the referee on the first base side at the same time.
The Referee hesitated and finally crossed his hands.
“OUT!”
Sawamura didn’t say anything and walked back to the rest area.
Now, in the stands, the members of the Demon King’s Guard.
“What’s wrong with the referee, he just arrived at base first, right?”
“Is he playing favorite?”
“Go home.”
The first base referee blushed and was speechless.
In the scene just now, in fact, it is not impossible to Safe Sawamura. It’s just that in two cases, it is the decision to help the weaker party. He also took advantage of the situation to sentence Sawamura out, but he did not expect to be treated like this.
A teenage boy in front of the Guards waved his hand commandingly.
In the queue, the noisy voice gradually stopped.
The leader looked at the referee at first base with amusement, his eyes filled with warnings.
‘This time I let you go first, if we do it again, we will never show mercy.’
The referee broke out in a cold sweat.
“Those idiots!”
‘Children these days, really appalling.’
The judges over there have no guts to argue with them. In contrast, another fan group supporting Sawamura is much more civilized.
Obayashi and Kobayashi, looking at the immature faces of the Demon King’s Guard, were very speechless.
‘This is too unreliable, who do they think they are, the yakuza?’
“How barbaric!”
Kobayashi muttered.
“Pay attention to unity, unity~!”
Although Obayashi also saw that Miyamoto and the others were unhappy, there were children in the majority, so he couldn’t say anything. Moreover, both parties are fans of Sawamura, so they should pay attention to unity and influence.
It’s one thing to fight each other internally, but it’s another thing to expose this kind of infighting and make people laugh at them.
As Sawamura’s diehard fans, the most loyal group, of course, they couldn’t do this.
Seidou’s rest area.
Kuramochi looked at the Demon King’s Guards greedily, and said to Sawamura, “You have lackeys, aren’t you doing alright?”
“They’re not my lackeys!”
Sawamura didn’t like what Kuramochi said, He frowned in reply.
“Huh?”
Kuramochi looked over with a fierce look.
‘What are you looking at, you think I’m afraid of you?’
Sawamura ignored him and returned to the bench chair.
He has just suffered losses, and there is no reason to argue with Kuramochi about this.
In Sawamura’s mind, both the Brotherhood of Red Heart and the Demon King’s Guard are like his family. It’s a bit nasty to say, but Sawamura really likes and respects them from the bottom of his heart.
Whether in the past or this life, Sawamura’s character has never changed.
If he changed, he wouldn’t be him anymore.
The game continued, with two Outs and a runner at second base.
When Sawamura hit a bunt, Tetsu took the opportunity to hit second base. Seidou’s offensive principles have always been simple. Aim aggressively at the next base, and attack. As long as there is a chance, you absolutely don’t have to worry about the players of Seidou missing the chance to hit the base.
“Sixth, third baseman, Masuko-kun.”
When Masuko came on the field, he deliberately glanced at Sawamura.
‘Sawamura~’
Seeing this Kohai in the same dormitory, Masuko was filled with emotion. His fifth Batter position was actually squeezed out of the core line. And it’s just his second game…
It is natural to be reluctant, but at the same time, Masuko is also a little relieved.
With the participation of Sawamura, they can probably enter Koshien this year.
‘As a Senpai, I can’t keep standing.’
After Masuko stood in the strike zone, he remained motionless.
Looking at Masuko like this made Sanjo feel a little uneasy.
‘Seidou’s lineup is really scary as if it is a storm that will not stop at all.’
Now that there are two outs, this game must be resolved as soon as possible no matter what. Otherwise, if it continues, the first inning is likely to become a big inning. To avoid this from happening, they must be careful.
The first pitch must be a Ball to the inside corner!
The second pitch must seduce the batter to swing with a low slider.
With a plan in mind, Sanjo gave Ito a sign and asked him to throw a Ball on the inside corner first to scare the batter.
Whoosh!
Ito pitched the ball, and Sanjo’s brows furrowed tightly.
‘Again?’
The ball slid out, and slid quite a bit, getting close to the center of the strike zone.
Such a good Pitch, maybe it will be swept out!
On the strike zone, Masuko’s bat grip is not long.
‘I don’t need too much effort, as long as I swing the bat smoothly, I’ll be fine.’
‘If you compare strength, I will not lose!’
Ping!
The white ball was hit, and then like a laser, it traversed the entire field and landed in the backmost corner of the field.
“Ugaaa~”
Masuko clenched his fists excitedly, threw away his bat, and started running.
Tetsu returned to home plate, and Masuko ran to third base in one breath.
Two outs, runner at third base.
Seidou scored the third point!
“Seventh Batter, catcher, Takigawa-kun.”
With much suspense, Chris swung his bat at the sweet ball.
Ping!
A standard hit across the shortstop’s field.
Masuko returned to home plate to help the team take the fourth point.
This was also the last point Seidou scored in the first inning.
0:4!
Under the continuous bombardment, Seidou expanded the score to four points in one inning.
