Chương 556: Chapter 188: The 9th Inning!
There's no better way to end your opponent's Strikeout than with a bunt!
The player from Komadai Fujimaki High School was ready to use an Out count to end Sawamura Eijun's strikeout and stop him from raising the momentum in Seidou's favor.
"Do you want to let it go?"
Chris was a little hesitant. He was one of the few in Seidou High School, and he could understand what Sawamura intended.
Not to mention Sawamura, he has more than ten years of baseball experience and is an absolute veteran on the baseball field.
Judging from his previous record, he also knew that Sawamura could not be a reckless person with only muscles in his head.
That kind of guy might also have a great record, and he might have an amazing performance on the field. But it is impossible for him to lead a team to win a national championship.
You can see that Sawamura Eijun led the Akagi Middle School baseball team as a student Coach in middle school and dominated the country twice.
Without mentioning the young man's simple and honest appearance, in fact, he has a lot of caution, especially in baseball games, Sawamura is more careful.
Like he suddenly offered to Strike Out Komadai's fourth-fifth-sixth batter.
In the eyes of others, it may be a bit childish, but in Chris's view, it is necessary. This is equivalent to announcing that Seidou will settle the game in the ninth inning.
Well done!
Even Sawamura Eijun, who is always called by the master every day, likes to play tricks himself.
But Chris knew very well in his heart that Eijun's strength and understanding of baseball is not less than him.
When Sawamura proposed to Strike Out his opponent, he thought carefully of this. Needless to say, Sawamura also performed a special play before, expressing his thoughts in an appealing manner.
Use Strikes to intimidate the players of Komadai Fujimaki High School, wait until the ninth inning, and then defeat the defense of Komadai High School in one go.
Even if the pitcher they just replaced now is full of stamina and has not made any mistakes, there are only so many players in Komadai Fujimaki High School, no one knows when the players from Seidou High School will get hits from Hongou. What if they made a mistake in defense?
In short, anything is possible.
The final round of the game was full of opportunities of all kinds.
The superintendent of the Komadai Fujimaki High School probably thought of this, so he made their sixth batter bunt.
The purpose is to destroy Sawamura's strikeout rhythm so that it can give everyone a psychological hint that even Sawamura is not invincible.
According to Chris's thoughts, it is natural to destroy the plan of the Komadai Fujimaki High School Coach.
Aren't you afraid of strikeouts? Just want to strike you Out!
It's just the current situation, if the opponent is determined to use a bunt, Sawamura Eijun has to use a sharper Breaking ball, which may make the opponent's bunt miss, or be sent out of bounds.
This is a test for Sawamura Eijun's physical strength.
In the final of Koshien, the winner is the national champion. Even Chris was a little hesitant right now.
On the pitcher's mound, Sawamura smiled wryly and shook his head.
'Are you kidding me? I am not a Terminator, okay? You can't use people as machines, can you?'
While he is not afraid, just in case, if there is no score in the ninth inning, then it would be very very bad.
'The opponent has already given steps, so let's go back a step too.'
Sawamura played baseball and was a person who knew how to read the game well.
Seeing the sign given by Sawamura, Chris nodded.
Ping!
The sixth batter of Komadai Fujimaki High School successfully used a bunt to knock out Sawamura's pitch.
Of course, he could not avoid the fate of being Out.
Masuko, who had been ready a long time ago, picked up the ball and passed it to the first base.
SNAP!
"OUT!!"
Three Outs, offense and defense exchange.
The game ushered in the ninth inning.
The dugout at Komadai Fujimaki High School.
Superintendent Nitta frowned, seeing that Sawamura Eijun didn't force a sharper Breaking ball to STRIKE OUT.
Inexplicably felt a chill in his mind.
'He did not take the bait!'
To be honest, he didn't expect Sawamura would take a step back right now. According to his original idea, he hopes that Sawamura can show a sharper Breaking ball.
"Why is this guy just like an old fox, he doesn't have the hot-headedness of young people at all."
Of course, This accident will not affect Nitta's next decision.
In the first half of the ninth inning, Seidou High School attacked.
It was the turn of second baseman Kominato Ryosuke.
Right now, Kominato Ryosuke has a very complicated heart. He heard Sawamura Eijun say that in the rest area before, and he also felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.
If the opponent is someone else, Ryosuke will definitely try his best to get on base.
But he is really not good at dealing with opponents like Hongou.
"Come on!"
No matter if he is good or bad, he has to face what he should face. He raised the bat in his hand, and Kominato stared at Hongou eagerly, waiting for him to throw the ball.
Now, he doesn't think about anything, just thinking about hitting the flying ball.
Roaar!!
Without letting Ryosuke wait, a small white ball soared forward.
Facing this sharp ball, Kominato Ryosuke did not hesitate at all.
He has already figured out what he should do. Against an opponent like Hongou, waiting for the ball is meaningless.
In the end, when someone really throws the Winning Shot, you can't hit it.
That way, it's not as good as swinging every ball. Although Hongou's physical strength is better than that of Sawamura Eijun, the pressure exerted on him by Seidou High School is also greater than that of the Komadai to Sawamura.
Until now, his physical exertion is definitely not small!
Considering the possibility of a playoff, I don't believe that all the balls of Hongou will be the Winning Shot.
Even if he could take it himself, his fingers definitely couldn't take it. The force is reciprocal, to throw a 150 km/h ball, his fingers also have to withstand 150 km/h acceleration. The Straight ball is nothing, the middle finger and the index finger themselves are very strong. The Pitching Form is adjusted so that the fingers will not have to bear too much pressure.
But the Breaking ball is different, no Breaking ball that does not tire the fingers. If you throw too much, your fingers will not be able to bear it.
So, Kominato Ryosuke's strategy is very simple.
He is willing to bet on the Straight ball of Hongou!
Ping!
It's a pity that Kominato Ryosuke is not good at gambling, and the first ball of Hongou is a Breaking ball.
After the white ball was hit, it landed right in front of the third baseman.
The third baseman at Komadai Fujimaki High School picked up the ball and passed it to their first base.
SNAP!
"OUT!"
One Out, no one hits base.
Seidou High School's offense only had two Outs left to make use of.
