Chapter 12 Is This Kid Crazy?

After the Kominato Chun market came on stage.

Immediately sent a password to Sawamura Eijun.

pity.

Eijun Sawamura, an idiot who doesn't understand baseball, asked out loud.

As a result, the careful preparations made by Kominato Haru City were destroyed in an instant.

"Ugh..."

"Let's face the challenge..."

Kominato Haruichi sighed.

But in order to score, he still raised a finger and shouted to Sawamura Eijun: "I will definitely send you back to home plate!"

"The two of us, let's get 1 point together!"

An ambitious scoring manifesto.

The audience outside the venue couldn't help but laugh.

But Sawamura Eijun believed it and made preparations for an early start.

I see!

When second- and third-year pitchers throw the ball.

Sawamura Eiharu immediately ran to second base at the fastest speed.

And Haruichi Kominato did not disappoint Sawamura's trust. Using a wooden bat, he hit the ball with precision and flew to the area on the right field sideline.

well known!

The outfield area is divided into three parts: left, center and right!

And right field is the field farthest from third base!

visible!

Kominato Haruichi's score declaration just now is serious!

And in order to realize this sentence, he also specially aimed at the right field and hit the ball!

Tatata!

Sawamura, who was running fast, came to second base when the baseball landed!

But he didn't stop there for half a minute!

Still at the fastest speed, desperately ran to third base!

"hurry up!"

"The runner passed second base!"

The second baseman in the second and third grades reminded loudly.

"what?"

Hearing this, the right fielder who picked up the baseball immediately passed the ball to third base with the greatest strength!

"Oooo!"

"The kid didn't stop when he got to third base!"

"His goal is home plate!"

"..."

When the audience outside the venue saw Sawamura's behavior, they were all shocked.

Just a right field hit and trying to run from first base to home plate?

This freshman is too arrogant!

"It's too messy!"

"It's too late!"

"It's over!"

Many new students in the rest area stood up in a panic.

All of them stepped forward, feeling that Sawamura would fail, but sincerely hoped that Sawamura could run back to home plate.

after all!

From the first game!

Their freshman team has not even scored a point!

Sawamura at this time!

It has become the only hope for the new team to break the egg!

"Stinky boy!"

"Don't go back to home plate!"

At this point, the second- and third-year catcher had already received a pass from his teammate.

But according to baseball rules!

If you want to stop your opponent from scoring, you must do a touch kill!

The so-called touch kill refers to the defensive behavior in which the defender firmly holds the ball with a glove or hand, and at the same time touches the body of the runner with the ball or the hand/glove holding the ball to make him out of the game!

In other words!

Sawamura wants to score successfully.

Must avoid the catcher's ball or hand/glove holding the ball.

"Ah ah ah!"

Sawamura shouted and ran for home plate with the slider.

at the same time!

The body twisted forcibly to avoid the catcher in the second and third grades!

this moment!

Eijun Sawamura's soft shoulder joints play a key role!

He did the dodging moves that others couldn't do with ease!

So!

Successfully avoided the touch and returned to home plate!

"Safety on base!"

With a shout from the head coach.

The freshman team finally broke the egg.

"Did this guy completely forget he's a pitcher?"

In the bullpen, Miyukiichi's mouth twitched slightly.

in his impression.

No pitcher has ever done that.

Even in order to protect his dominant hand, he ran the bases slowly and leisurely, for fear of bumping into them.

"It's not that I forgot, I just want to score!"

"Although the price of scoring is injury, with his character, he definitely doesn't care!"

Lin Tian opened his mouth with a smile.

to be frank.

Lin Tian admires Sawamura's character.

Not everyone dares to make such a dangerous move in order to score.

Or.

Sawamura is a pure athlete.

but.

Although admired.

But Lin Tian would never do that.

Again!

Once injured, the bright future will collapse instantly!

...

Because of Sawamura's desperate effort to score.

The freshman's momentum finally cheered up.

But right now.

However, the head coach Kataoka gave an order to 'line up', apparently wanting to end the game early.

but.

Kataoka iron core looks harsh though.

But he's actually a very forgiving coach.

so.

Want to keep playing?

No problem, but you have to agree to one condition!

"If all the freshmen have the idea of continuing to play, then go ahead."

face this query.

The freshmen nodded hurriedly.

"We're going to continue!"

"please!"

"Please let's continue the game!"

"Please, coach!"

Obviously.

After Lin Tian's suggestion.

Even without Sawamura's mouth.

The freshmen also began to cherish the game.

They don't want to lose the opportunity to perform in front of the head coach.

"Since you have the idea of continuing, why did you deal with it perfunctory before?"

"There's no next time in high school baseball!"

Head coach Kataoka said coldly.

Swish!

The freshmen were silent for a moment.

Some people who didn't do their best before felt even more ashamed and wished to find a hole to dig in.

see.

Kataoka Texin shook his head in disgust.

But do it.

Since the freshmen want to continue, he naturally will not stop the game.

Except for Sawamura.

All the other first-year pitchers, he'd seen it.

so.

Kataoka made Sawamura the pitcher for the next few innings.

Hear this command.

Sawamura was so happy that he couldn't believe it.

"It's not easy, three weeks into the team, and finally on the pitching mound!"

Lin Tian watched Sawamura walk towards the pitching mound with a relieved smile.

Heart said: "Finally, I can see the pitching style that belongs to Sawamura at the scene."

"If fans of Diamond A knew about it, they would probably envy me, right?"

With endless anticipation.

Lin Tian watched the game intently.

...

The game continues.

Because Sawamura was discussing tactics.

Say aloud that you want to throw all straight balls in the center.

so.

The seniors in the second and third grades were very angry.

They felt that Sawamura was too arrogant, a mere rookie who dared to underestimate the senior.

certainly.

Others thought Sawamura was bluffing.

but.

Despite this conjecture.

But most people feel that no amount of bluff from a rookie can threaten them.

so!

When Sawamura throws the ball!

The second- and third-year hitters swung the bat very decisively!

"just..."

"The middle..."

"Is this kid crazy?"

Looking at the flying baseball, the batter who stood in the batter's seat threw the ball out in surprise.

However...

I thought I could hit a home run...

result...

The baseball flies to the center field, loses momentum, starts to fall, ends up in the air, and is caught by the center fielder...

According to baseball rules.

Offensive batsman who hits a ball that is caught in the air by the defending team before it hits the ground.

Regardless of whether the ball is in bounds or out of bounds, the offensive player is eliminated from the game.

In other words!

The senior who hit the ball was eliminated by one ball!
