Fierce pitcher battles, three innings were played, and neither side scored.

Even if Akagi had two first-base hits, it didn't really pose any challenge to Yokozuna's defense.

It is said that such a game, no matter how exciting it is, will always make people a little regretful. It's like a football game, no matter how hot the two sides play, at the end of a game, the score is 0:0, and it will always make people feel that there is something missing.

It's the same in baseball, although strikeouts, outs, hits, and wonderful defenses, these are the same that make people excited. But in terms of shock, there is no way to compare these with scoring and home runs.

But today's game was different, and even though both sides didn't score, the spectators found a different excitement, a higher excitement than a home run!

In the face of the entire middle school world, the existence of a giant is Yokozuna Middle School.

Sawamura made three innings and threw nine strikeouts.

Don't doubt your eyes, you read that right, it's nine strikeouts. This record is only three short of the highest strikeout record in a single game at the Kanto Convention. And Sawamura still has a full four games to break this record.

What does it mean to be famous in Fight I?

Don't think about it, after this game, all the people who follow the middle school competition in the country will remember Sawamura's name.

As the old saying goes, gold always shines.

Isn't that what Sawamura is? I have been nesting in that small place in Nagano before, and although I was highly praised by "Baseball Boy", my popularity in the country is not very high.

But now it's different, as long as Sawamura doesn't collapse later today, even if Akagi loses in the end, Sawamura will become one of the most watched middle school students in the country.

"His fame is unstoppable."

In fact, in front of the TV and the computer, there are now many viewers who can't help but be excited because of Sawamura's pitching, and have become Sawamura's die-hard fans.

On the pitch is a hero.

And Sawamura, almost single-handedly, suppressed the giant Yokozuna with a disgraced face. Such a person is not a hero? Who else can be a hero?

Sawamura's figure today is destined to be remembered.

Although Akagi and Yokozuna were evenly matched, the eyes of everyone on the field were still attracted by Sawamura intentionally or unintentionally.

There is no way, his light is too dazzling.

In this situation, the game ushered in the first half of the fourth game, Yokozuna attacked.

In the cowshed.

Takeda's face had long since lost the ease it had at the beginning, and it became stern.

"You can see the current situation. If you can't attack Sawamura as soon as possible, help the team score points. The audience will soon be immersed in the wave of strikes, and we, the hosts, will probably become street rats and fall into a situation where everyone shouts and beats. ”

"So, I don't care what method you use, you must find a way to score a point first, understand?"

"Understood!"

"Nishimura, come over here."

After Takeda gave the players the death order, he left Nishimura alone and whispered a few words.

Although Coach Takeda is letting the players act on their own, as a coach, he certainly knows how difficult it is to overcome Sawamura in the next round with the strength of his disciples alone.

As a qualified coach, in addition to teaching the players to play baseball and encouraging them, on-the-spot command is also a very important skill.

"First bat, guerrilla, Nishimura-san."

In the last round of playing, Sawamura's pitching left Yokozuna with nothing to do. In this round, Sawamura once again stood in the direction of pitcher mound in the direction of first base, based on the principle of one move to eat all over the world.

"Good shot!"

"Good shot!"

For two consecutive balls, Nishimura swung his bat, but unfortunately in the face of Sawamura's large-angle pitch as if he was going to beckon him, Nishimura's swing was like a fly without a head, and he couldn't find the target at all.

"Strikeout! Strikeout!! ”

From the audience, there were neat shouts. Not only the brothers of the Red Heart Brotherhood, but also many people who eat melons, and ordinary fans also shouted together. As the saying goes, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.

These people don't mind watching the king fall in the slightest.

In such a situation, Sawamura threw his third goal.

And Nishimura, who originally seemed to be a fly without a head, suddenly came to his senses at this time. The bat that was originally raised high was taken back by him and changed to a short fight.

Short!

"Ping!"

The baseball was knocked out and stopped in an extremely clever position.

Then he looked at Nishimura, like a wild dog on the loose, and galloped up to first base.

On the pitcher's hill, Sawamura's gaze froze.

A good pitching rhythm made him negligent. It turned out that Nishimura's previous actions were all acting, and the purpose was for this short fight.

How bold!

By the time Yamaguchi picked up the ball and sent it to first base, at this time, Nishimura had already run to the first base one step ahead of schedule.

No one is out, there is someone on first base.

Sawamura's successive strikeouts were terminated.

At this time, it was Yokozuna's turn to play Shun's second bat.

"Well done, Nishimura!"

"Your speed is unbeatable."

In the midst of the cheers, Yokozuna's second stick chose to strike the escort.

The white ball rolled down to third base again, and this time Yamaguchi picked it up nicely and passed it to Oda.

"Out!"

Although the hitter was blocked and out, Nishimura went to second base.

One out, there's someone on second base!

In the stands.

The old fox Hiromitsu Yamano shook his head in admiration: "Takeda, this kid, is really amazing!" ”

The assistant coach of Tianlong Temple looked at him puzzled: "Teacher Yamano? ”

Hiromitsu Yamano glanced at his deputy, and finally sighed helplessly. Although his lieutenants are about the same age as Takeda, their abilities are too poor.

"Look at Sawamura's current position."

Well!

Hearing this, the assistant coach glanced at Sawamura, who was clinging to the pitcher's mound near the side of first base.

But he still didn't understand what Yamano meant.

Yamano shook his head in disappointment, but still explained: "The left pitcher is originally a standing pitcher facing first base, and such a position is not easy to prevent a runner on second base from stealing third base. And Sawamura's current position further restricts his own vision. If he hadn't deliberately turned back, he wouldn't have seen the runner on second base at all. In this way......"

"Runners can steal bases!"

The assistant coach shouted excitedly.

Now it's one out, and there's someone on second base. If Yokozuna's runner succeeds in stealing base, it's one out, and there are people on third base. With Nishimura's footsteps, he has a way to run back to home plate.

Shan Ye smiled slightly, revealing a teachable expression.

It's just a pity that neither of the two masters and apprentices guessed Yokozuna's next move.

"The third stick, catcher, Yamanaka-san."
