Chapter 13 Newborn Calves Are Not Afraid Of Tigers

"very good!"

"Beautiful pick up!"

Sawamura encouraged excitedly.

"Fortunately, the defensive position I chose is relatively back!"

The outfielder caught the ball, his heart pounding.

If he just stood a little ahead.

The ball lands 100%, and the batter can run to second base smoothly.

"hateful!"

"Accidentally swinging too fast!"

The second- and third-year hitters looked annoyed.

However...

What he doesn't know is...

The root cause of the error...

It was because of Sawamura's pitch that when it came to the batter, there would be a drift up/down/left/right!

But obviously!

Sudden change at close range!

It is impossible to find it without careful observation!

And the second hitter in the second and third grades.

I also felt that it was a teammate's accidental mistake, and I didn't pay too much attention to it.

so.

Facing Sawamura's pitch.

Hit a third base fly ball.

It wasn't that fast, and it flew right in front of the third baseman.

so.

The third baseman moved his glove a little and caught it easily.

"OUT!"

Head coach Kataoka shouted immediately.

"Amazing!"

"It only took two goals to get the two out!"

"Two out, two out!"

"Come on! Sawamura!"

Seeing that Sawamura eliminated the two of them so easily.

The freshmen were very excited to cheer for Sawamura.

"What a joke!"

"There will be no third such luck!"

The third hitter in the second and third grades swung out the metal rod with a displeased face.

boom.

A crisp sound.

The baseball was hit in the infield and crashed into the ground on the pitcher's mound.

"Depend on!"

"The start is slow!"

"I was fooled by his swing speed!"

The shortstop thought that his opponent would hit the back, but he didn't expect such a big swing to be just an infield ball.

but.

at this time.

Haruichi Kominato is second baseman.

Suddenly appeared in the shortstop's sight.

"for..."

"Why is the second baseman there!?"

The senior student, who was glad that the shortstop couldn't catch up, was instantly dumbfounded.

Bang!

Kominato quickly stretched out his left hand and caught the ball with precision!

then!

No slowdown at all!

While running at high speed, suddenly jumped up!

Then in mid-air, twist your body!

at the same time!

The right hand took the baseball out of the glove of the left hand and passed it neatly to the glove that the first baseman had placed in advance!

next moment.

The runner's foot stepped on the first base bag.

However!

He's one step slower than baseball!

"OUT!"

The umpire at first base announced the result immediately.

"Oh oh oh!"

Sawamura shouted excitedly.

"Amazing!"

"I just stared at it!"

"Oh my God! We actually gave the second and third graders 0 points!"

"Second baseman is amazing!"

The freshmen were very excited.

"3 goals to eliminate 3 players, too healthy!"

In the bullpen, Lin Tian was quite emotional: "If possible, I would like to be like him."

He was telling the truth.

If you only throw 3 balls in one inning, it can save a lot of physical strength.

...

on the field.

At this time, the new energy was in full swing.

Even with the next attack, all performed well.

Still can't score.

But everyone can hit the ball.

And just when the situation turned for the better, Zengzi Tou, who served as the former first army five sticks, went to the batter's seat.

on the baseball team.

The five-batter is called the center hitter, and is also known as the 'clearing hitter'.

Usually the ability to send back runners accumulated on base and the ability to hit home runs with one hit is required.

In general.

To be able to serve as five sticks in the team, the striking strength is definitely very strong.

so.

Sawamura's expression suddenly became serious.

"It's going to blow up."

Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly.

On the night that Sawamura was punished.

Lin Tian originally wanted to tell Sawamura's "truth about the special straight ball" to Sawamura.

But then thought.

The two did not know each other at all.

Facing the preaching of strangers + peers, Sawamura probably won't listen.

and.

Just verbal sermons.

The effect may not be great.

so.

Lin Tian changed his mind.

He planned to use this incident to remind him accordingly after he became friends with Sawamura and waited until Sawamura was hit by Masuko Toru.

Lin Tian thinks.

Had the experience of being hit with a home run.

Even if it was a reminder from his peers, Sawamura should have paid attention to it.

...

on the field.

Enhancer penetration after a ball of observation.

He was keenly aware that the ball thrown by Sawamura would suddenly turn when it flew to his side.

But it's too late to turn the corner!

This is an advantage and a disadvantage!

Because if the batter doesn't spot the turn.

It will not hit the center of the ball, resulting in a very poor quality ball that is easily defended by the defender.

But if found...

So!

Just get to the front of the batting area!

You can hit the ball before the baseball doesn't turn!

And Sawamura's pitching...

If there is no corner, it is a straight ball in the middle!

"Reduce swing range..."

"Play the ball quickly before it changes..."

Masuko thought to himself, in order to better control the bat, he deliberately chose the short-grip method.

But Sawamura Eijun didn't know this at all.

Facing the upcoming matchup, he just felt excited.

"This tension..."

"It's so exciting!"

call out!

Sawamura threw the ball with all his strength with a smile on his face.

However!

The baseball was ruthlessly hit by Masuko Toru on the left field fence 90 meters away!

"boundary..."

"Fouls!"

The umpire at third base looked at where the baseball hit and announced the result loudly.

"What a great power!"

"Obviously it's a short grip method, but it can hit so far!"

Sawamura was instantly taken aback.

"If I remember correctly..."

"The third ball is a home run..."

Lin Tian put his hands in his pockets and looked towards Sawamura.

...

on the field.

Despite being beaten all the way.

But Sawamura still threw a 'straight ball'.

Say it nicely.

This is a newborn calf that is not afraid of tigers.

Say it hard.

That is stupid enough to be stupid.

And Zenitsu obviously did not miss this great opportunity.

call out!

When the ball thrown by Sawamura flew in front of him!

Masuko Toru didn't hesitate, and instantly waved the metal rod!
