Chapter 3: The first practice match

After saying goodbye to Sano, Sawamura immediately brought the good news to his friends in Akagi.

"Practice the game!"

It's just been established for three days, and the friends who haven't really understood what baseball is all about look at Sawamura stupidly.

"Captain, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Are you kidding?"

Sawamura was incredulous: "How could I be joking. You don't inquire, I'm a notoriously honest man in Nagano. ”

Honest people?

Atsuki Wakana stared at Sawamura and didn't speak. But that expression is very intriguing.

"Well, it doesn't matter!"

Sawamura's face didn't cultivate home after all, and he was a little embarrassed to be stared at by his childhood sweetheart.

"But most of us don't understand anything."

Nakagawa Nobuchi asked.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"

Sawamura smiled and shook his head, signaling that they didn't need to mind: "Baseball is a sport, and you can play it." ”

"Of course, as the team's captain and ace pitcher, I still need you to do me a favor. I need a catcher who can catch my pitches. ”

Catcher?

The little friend looked at Sawamura and didn't speak. It's not that they're really ignorant to that extent, and most of them still know what the catcher is all about. But does a team really only need one catcher to play?

"Enough!"

Sawamura smiled brightly.

To deal with the weak chicken-like Shi Lun Middle School, as long as someone can catch his ball, it is enough.

"You all change into catcher gear and try them one by one. As long as someone can catch my ball, we go to eat Chinese food in the evening. ”

"Good!"

As soon as he heard that Sawamura was going to have another treat, Ruocai was not happy: "I want to treat again, do you still have money there?" ”

The 10,000 yen given by the school has already been spent.

"It's okay, I'll call Sano-sensei. I think he's more than happy to donate money to our newly established baseball club."

office, Sano sneezed inexplicably.

"Yawn! Isn't someone missing me? ”

Sano, who had just finished meeting the girl, had an inexplicable flush on his chubby face.

He felt that maybe his spring was coming!

On the other side, after the friends tried one by one, only Yamaguchi was able to catch Sawamura's pitch in the end, so he naturally took over the burden of the team's No. 2 main catcher.

The team here has just determined the casting partner, and the news of Shilun Middle School over there has also come over.

Their time seems to be very empty, and the practice game is directly scheduled for this Saturday afternoon, when they come to Akagi, or Akagi's friends can go to Shilun Middle School.

"Let's go, we'll go!"

The captain of the baseball team at Akagi Middle School, Comrade Sawamura, said righteously: "The application we submitted for the game is, of course, our past, how can we let Shi Lun's classmates come in a hurry?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be far, our two schools ......"

Wakana didn't know if it was intentional or deliberate, and debunked.

Sawamura's big eyes widened, unhappy: "What is the road, the important thing is sincerity." ”

"You're worried that the team doesn't have a dedicated baseball field, right?"

Cangyue couldn't get used to Zecun's appearance, so she directly demolished him.

Akagi Middle School, which had just established a baseball club, was of course unable to have a dedicated baseball field. With Principal Takada's slamming of the door, Sawamura even suspected that even if they were in the third grade, they would not be able to mix in the dedicated baseball field.

In fact, in the previous life, until Akagi was merged, Sawamura did not use a dedicated baseball field in Akagi. The only temporary stadium was built by the friends themselves.

"It's still a good friend to see through it or not, haven't you heard of it?"

Sawamura's old face couldn't hold back, and he stared at Cangyue angrily and said.

"Oh, being stared at like this by you, people have a headache. On Saturday, you might not be able to compete. ”

"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Somebody just messed with you, watch me clean him up. ”

Sawamura immediately made a 180-degree turn, baring his arms and sleeves and posing as he wanted to fight with others.

"you, who's your aunt?"

Cangyue was embarrassed by what Sawamura said, and her little face had a weird flush on her face.

"What do you think we have a chance of winning?"

Before going to Shilun to compete, Cangyue asked Zecun worriedly.

In the first game of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, Atsuki Wakana still very much hopes that everyone can win.

As long as the game is won, the rest of the baseball team will go very smoothly. If you can form combat effectiveness, represent the school to participate in the competition, win a good ranking, and win the honor for the school. No matter how hard Principal Takada picks on the door, he will say something.

As long as the school's clubs have good grades, everything is possible, and even some powerful clubs can be sponsored. If it is an established club like the baseball club, the probability of receiving support must be higher.

Cangyue had her own sweet dreams, and Sawamura's eyes were almost straight.

What did Wakana say just now? What are the odds of winning?

That's a big joke, isn't it?

The big competitions in this country are all about knockouts. This means that the teams in the first round have a very different level of strength from the teams in the second round.

Shi Lun can enter the third round all year round, so their strength can be imagined.

A group of rookies in Akagi, it's good not to be tortured by blood. Still thinking about the odds?

Girl, daydreaming doesn't do that.

"Probably a few percent."

Sawamura looked at Cangyue's face, and in the end he didn't dare to speak out, but just said vaguely.

How many percent!

Cangyue listened to it with great confidence, she and Sawamura's childhood sweetheart, and she understood Sawamura's character very clearly. Although he often said big things, his basic judgments were very accurate. Sawamura said that there is a few percent chance of winning, then there must be a real chance of winning.

When Sawamura saw his friends the next day, the friends raised their heads one by one, looking full of confidence.

They seem to be mentally prepared to win.

Is it true that the village of Ke Ze does not know where they come from? This is probably the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, right?

After re-explaining the basic rules of baseball with my friends, Sawamura began to lead everyone in training.

Before competing with Shi Lun, he always thought that he could teach everyone more, so he taught more things. Grinding guns in battle, isn't it fast and light.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it is time to make an appointment with Shi Lun to compete.

Akagi is an area where there are a total of three middle schools living next to each other. They are Akagi, Akagi West, and Shilun. Among them, Akagi and Akagi West are both metropolitan middle schools, and Shilun was built by private donations, which is better than the two public ones.

The distance between the two schools was only 200 meters, and Akagi's friends arrived at Shilun's baseball stadium in less than two minutes.

Here they will play their first practice game since the formation of the Akagi baseball team.
