Diamond Ace: Monster Slayer

Chapter 96 Useless Fighting Spirit

"Snapped!"

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

In the top of the sixth inning, although Yakushi High School did not score any points due to Sawamura's suppression, the same was true for Seidou High School.

From the fifth inning onwards, the game had already shown a trend of a pitching battle.

Apart from the two pitchers, the batters did not have any outstanding performances.

No one could continue to contribute home runs, not even a hit.

All of them are three ups and three downs.

The result of the game gradually became clear.

"With a score of 9:3, the batters on both sides have reached a bottleneck. The game is getting closer and closer to the end. It all depends on which pitcher makes a mistake first. The team that makes the mistake first has a greater chance of winning. That's all I can say."

Fujio analyzed the situation and wrote it down in his notebook, preparing to go back and make a new edition of the newspaper.

"There are only two games left, which means we will be able to advance to the finals and meet Daocheng. I don't expect you to continue to score in the next game. Just don't lose points."

"understand!"

"Very good, keep going!"

"Yes!"

"Top of the seventh inning, Yakushi High School offense, fifth batter, center fielder, Abe-san."

Those two strikeouts had already brought Sawamura's confidence to a peak.

Not to mention that the current batters are from Yakushi High School, even if there is an Ichiro Suzuki in the batter's box, he would not be afraid.

Like Abe and Sawamura, they are all first-year players who have just started playing high school baseball.

It shouldn't be a problem for Sawamura to deal with him.

Sawamura has already mastered the colorful changing ball, so he shouldn't be the one to be afraid.

"kick off!"

"You must have enjoyed the strikeout just now. The first pitch was a low, outside corner straight ball."

"Whoosh!"

The white ball merged with the sunlight in mid-air, and Abe in the batter's box looked confused.

appear!

"Qiang!"

"Foul ball!"

The baseball pitch wasn't very fast, but it just wasn't very good.

Observing with the naked eye, the ball is only about 130km, but it is true that it is not easy to hit.

The ball speed is not fast and the ball quality looks average, but it feels very heavy when you hit it.

No one knows how this works.

"Abe, show your fighting spirit, fighting spirit!"

Hong Lei Zang shouted.

Faced with such a huge score deficit, he was extremely anxious.

"It's useless to just have fighting spirit."

Miyuki mocked back, and then hit a straight ball high into the inside corner.

Although Sawamura has not yet mastered any kind of changeup, even if he has started training changeups, they are only semi-finished products.

Even so, with two straight balls, Sawamura was still able to leave two scars on Yakushi High School.

"Whoosh!"

A straight ball to the chest!
"Snapped!"

Abe swung in vain!

The baseball continued to run around and avoided Abe's stick.

"nice shot!"

Although this ball looks useful, unstable ball control is still a disadvantage for Sawamura.

We still need to improve it in the future.

However, this kind of ball is sufficient for summer competitions.

What's more, this is one of Sawamura's characteristics, isn't it?

"Whoosh!"

"Outer corner!"

"Snapped!"

Abe swung the bat and hit it towards the outside corner, but who could have thought that the baseball would float up again!
"It's floating up again!"

Abe's bat had already hit his forehead, but except for the first time, he was struck out the other two times without even touching the baseball.

"Strike! Batter out!" "Ahhhhhhhhhh, why is Sawamura so strong today?! No way? This is fake, right?"

Even the captain of his own baseball team, Ota, didn't believe that Sawamura could create such a situation.

Three consecutive strikeouts, and this was against Pharmacist High School!

This is no less than Fōgiya Akatsuki.

Sawamura's move definitely caught the opponent by surprise.

Perhaps Pharmacist High School did not expect that the most inconspicuous pitcher would become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

“This game is becoming clearer and clearer.”

Cheng Gong Ming said while pinching her chin.

Originally, I was thinking of letting Yakushi High School consume some of Qingdao High School's physical strength, but now it seems that if Qingdao High School's second team comes up, we can easily defeat them.

"But this match did test out Sawamura. I will have to do more research on him when I return."

Harada said seriously.

Sawamura, who is only a freshman, is also regarded as a strong pitcher by Daocheng Industrial.

If the people back home knew this, they would be so shocked that a light bulb could be stuffed into their mouths.

"Sixth batter, pitcher, Sanada-san."

Sanada forced himself to smile as he went on stage, but in reality he was too tired to stand.

The kind of pitching he throws is very damaging to his feet, and it was already the seventh inning, so he should have run out of gas in the tank.

There has been no substitution from the first inning to now, and Hong Leizang seems to be ready to let Sanada finish pitching!
"You're not standing firmly on your feet. You may not have the strength to swing the bat. It's an inside corner ball."

Looking at Sanada's condition, Miyuki's ball distribution strategy became bolder.

"Whoosh!"

Seeing Sawamura's pitching becoming more and more mature, Takashima Rei is becoming more and more proud.

This is the pitcher he selected himself, and he can become the core of the team. That is a reflection of his vision.

Not to mention Sawamura, who went from being a layman to a core player.

"Qiang!"

"Shortstop!"

“Finally the ball is coming!”

Sawamura's pitching is becoming more and more mature, and it is becoming more and more difficult for these fielders to get a chance.

The better Sawamura's pitches become, the more comfortable these fielders will feel, and the less likely they are to make mistakes.

"Snapped!"

Kuramochi jumped and the baseball was passed into Yuki's glove.

"Out!"

"Well done, Cheetah-senpai!"

"Let them keep hitting the ball over here!"

"Seventh batter, right fielder, Hirahata-san."

"Whoosh!"

"This one is an outside corner shot."

"Qiang!"

"It's too early!"

"Second baseman, in trouble."

"Haha, this ball rolls so slowly."

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

In this inning, Qingdao High School completed the defense with one strikeout and two ground balls.

In these two innings, Sawamura performed very well, which made people's eyes light up.

Although he did not face Honglei City head-on, the other people in Pharmacist High School were not unknown people either.

For example, Hideo Ansawa, Mishima and Akiha.

They are all the key education targets of Hong Lei Zang.

But they were all solved by Sawamura without exception.

Only An Zexiu's attack posed a little threat.

Although Yakushi High School burst out with the fighting spirit to score points in this inning, this fighting spirit was of no use in front of Sawamura!

This is all useless fighting spirit!
