Chapter 65 Short-hitting Genius

Chapter 65 Short-hitting Genius
"Shortstop!"

Seeing the direction the hit baseball went, Sawamura immediately glanced towards the guerrilla zone.

"Hee ha, it's really troublesome to play ball with you."

As he spoke, Kuramochi quickened his pace and ran over in time before the baseball rolled into the outfield and caught it in his glove.

"Yuuki-senpai, got it!"

Kuramochi swung his right hand and threw the ball.

Kuramochi and Yuki have been working together for a year and have developed a good understanding of each other.

Yuki knows how fast Kuramochi is, and Kuramochi also knows how steady Yuki is.

There was little that could go wrong between the two of them.

So when they saw Kuramochi throw the ball to first base, Sawamura and other classmates left their defensive positions and walked towards the locker room off the field.

"Snapped!"

"Out! Three outs! Attack and defense switch!"

Just so confident.

Three outs were obtained.

"You've made rapid progress. Your inside corner shots are getting sharper and sharper, and your new pitching posture is also going smoothly, right?"

Chris asked as he ran.

"Of course, I want to try a new ball in the next game."

When he said this, Sawamura's eyes lit up.

During the time when Sawamura was promoted to the first team, Chris gave him a lot of special training and even started to practice his changeup.

"That's too early. I'll see how things go in the official competition. You should practice until you're proficient in it first."

Chris didn't refuse directly, but the meaning was similar.

There's no way, Chris and Miyuki are different.

Miyuki is a bold catcher who dares to use any pitch and any tactics.

Bold and careful are his hallmarks.

But that's not the case with Chris.

Although Chris sometimes plays some risky shots, they are very reasonable if you think about it carefully.

He is a very stable person.

"Hahahahahahaha, what do you think? The situation changed immediately when I came on the court. I got three ups and three downs with only three balls."

As soon as Sawamura returned to the lounge, he stretched out three fingers and started showing off.

Haruichi, who had not performed yet, was of course envious of Sawamura's awesome appearance, and kept singing along with Sawamura, just like the audience in a crosstalk.

Of course he is eager to play.

Zhou Hui, Haruichi, Akira Furiya, Sawamura.

This is one of the few freshmen who entered the first army.

Now the other three have proven themselves on the court, and two of them have even become the absolute main force of the team.

But he didn't have the chance to play, which undoubtedly made him feel very uncomfortable.

He wants to play too!
"Okay, stop showing off. A pitcher like you relies on the fielder's condition. If we're not in condition, what will you do?"

Kuramochi couldn't help but complain.

"What do you mean? What is the state of eating wild hands?"

As he said that, Sawamura hugged Zhou Hui.

"Xiao Huihui, please judge for me, am I in a state of eating you?"

Sawamura's expression immediately became pitiful, as if a child who had been wronged was expressing his feelings.

"Baseballs don't really go that way."

Zhou Hui said this calmly, still not liking to smile.

Sawamura's ball is indeed very powerful and sharp, making it difficult for batters to deal with it and difficult to hit it far.

So he had to rely on his classmates in the inner field most of the time, and it was never his turn to do anything.

"Okay, everyone, be serious. We just received news that Daocheng Industry and Xianquan have defeated their respective opponents and advanced to the semi-finals. We must win this game, and we must win it quickly. Got it?"

"Yes!"

Hearing that Daocheng had entered the semi-finals, it was like a shot of adrenaline for the students of Qingdao High School.

Everyone was full of passion, looking at the lounge of Mingchuan Academy as if they were about to "tear them into pieces".

"The match against City University No. 3 High School will start after ours. If we win, we will most likely continue to compete with City University No. 3 High School for a ticket to the finals. For the sake of Koshien, we must try to finish this match quickly! Hurry up and score points, understand?"

"Know!"

Hearing the heart-wrenching shouts from Qingdao High School, the audience was also confused. They didn't know what Coach Kataoka said to make these young and energetic guys so energetic. Compared with the audience, Mingchuan Academy was relatively close, and they could also hear what Qingdao High School said.

"Are you already thinking about the next round? I will never let you succeed."

Yang Shunchen immediately became excited and walked towards the pitcher's mound without looking back.

"Bottom of the fourth inning, Seidou High School is on offense, the eighth batter, right fielder, is Hakushu-san."

Hakushu is the most stable hitter of Seidou High School.

In the duel between Baizhou and Yang Shunchen, Baizhou used up four balls at the beginning, and he didn't swing at any of the first four balls.

Number of balls: two good and one bad.

If you don't swing at the next ball, you won't have a chance.

"Whoosh!"

A high straight ball to the inside corner.

"Qiang!"

The baseball was picked up behind the third baseman, and Shirasu went to second base.

"Ninth batter, pitcher, Sawamura-san."

"Finally it's my turn!"

Sawamura swaggered up with the bat in his hand.

But he had no batting experience in high school, and as soon as Sawamura went up to the court, his hands and legs began to shake, and even his batting posture was not standard.

"layman."

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"

"nice shot!"

"Quick pass to third base!"

The third baseman waved hard and Shiratori looked over immediately.

Hakushu has stolen a base!
"shit!"

Shiratori passed the ball, but it was too late, Shirasu had already reached third base.

Sawamura's batting posture just now did not look like that of a batter from a top team at all. It just looked like he was joking.

This also made Yang Shunchen certain that this player was a "soft persimmon".

"Whoosh!"

"Snapped!"
