Chapter 17: Friends' Trust

"All, home run!!!!"

See the white ball and fly out of the field. It took two or three seconds for the audience to react, and then they looked at the boy who confidently stretched out a finger on the strike zone in disbelief.

In the second round of the Nagano prefecture trials, they actually saw a home run?

If they weren't the relatives and friends of Shilun Middle School, they couldn't help but want to give Sawamura a standing ovation.

Unlike high school competitions, home runs are rare in middle school competitions. Unexpectedly, in this game that was not taken seriously, someone hit a home run on the first ball.

Shi Lun's coach Ishikawa frowned and asked the recorder beside him in a low voice.

"Sawamura-kun, is this the first time he has participated in the competition for middle school students?"

"Yes, although this is the second round of Akagi Middle School's competition, their opponent in the first round, Akagi West, was disqualified because of a violent incident. Akagi Middle School won without a fight. Therefore, today is the first round of Akagi Middle School's competition. a match."

Ishikawa nodded.

In the qualifiers for the National Championship, the first game, the first hit, hit a home run.

"It's a perfect start!"

As if he had a hunch, Coach Ishikawa felt that this home run would definitely not be so easy to overturn.

The audience was surprised. Shi Lun's players were like swallowing flies alive, and they were disgusting.

They didn't know that Sawamura had strength and was ready to lose points, but they didn't expect to be so embarrassing? In the first half of an inning, someone hit a home run, which is unacceptable no matter how you think about it.

Shilun Middle School, a top ten school in Nagano Prefecture, was hit by a two-run homer by the fish belly team that participated in the competition for the first time. When this spread, the reputation of Shi Lun Middle School for so many years was completely ruined.

Even if they win in the end, it is estimated that they will be laughed at by other strong schools.

Damn, damn it!

The faces of the players from Shi Lun Middle School changed. Most of them are third-year players, and they are on average half a head taller than the players from Shi Lun Middle School. When these seniors stared at Akagi's younger brother with vicious eyes. Ordinarily, the juniors should be a little uneasy, afraid, or at least trembling in their hearts.

But Akagi's players didn't, they were still immersed in the joy of home runs.

Two points!

They actually led Shi Lun's army by two points. I go, it's so dreamy, let them do a dance to calm down.

Little friends, jumping and jumping around Sawamura, who was returning to home plate, was extremely happy.

Shi Lun's players were even more angry. They didn't understand that a two-point lead was worth the joy? The gap between the two sides is there, as long as Shi Lun thinks about it, the score can be recovered in minutes.

The final victory must be Shi Lun's!

Just two points, these hillbillies in Chicheng are really ignorant.

The stands of the stadium are generally divided into three sides. The first base side, the third base side, and the outfield stand. The outfield stands are undoubtedly the largest. The two sides of the first and third bases are only less than 30 meters long, and there are hundreds of seats in the depth.

The stands in the outfield are different, which can accommodate thousands of people.

In the game between Shi Lun and Chicheng, Shi Lun's bullpen was at the first base side, and there were about two hundred people sitting scattered in the stands. Most of them are Shi Lun's students and the parents and friends of the players.

On the third base side on the other side, that is, on the stand on the side of Akagi. At the beginning of the game, it was empty, there was no one, and it was as desolate as a desert.

Now, I do not know when two people came. These two people are very young, and a big brother who looks a lot like Yamaguchi's classmates after a long absence, is simply a replica of Dofa Yuan. It's just that he is much taller than Yamaguchi, who is only one meter five, and he looks at least one meter seven.

Among the middle school students, it is very majestic.

The other one is tall and thin. The hair is quite long among boys, and it is tied into a small braid, revealing a fair face.

To use Sawamura's adjectives, it is Doiyuan and Xiaobaiface.

Seeing Akagi's little friends cheering, Doi Yuan said in a loud voice: "Akagi is too easy to satisfy, it's only two points, it's worth being so happy. Shi Lun's strength is very strong, if they're not careful. Humph... "

Toi Yuan didn't finish the rest of the words, but it could be seen that he was not optimistic about Akagi.

Xiaobai face, with Erlang's legs crossed, chewing bubble gum in his mouth, blowing bubbles one by one from time to time, and then letting the blown bubbles hit his face, then rolling his tongue and rolling the bubble gum back into his mouth again .

"Akagi is so happy, of course, not only because of these two points."

Little White Face's conclusion made Doi Yuan a little unacceptable, and he looked at his partner puzzled.

"Snapped!"

Xiao Bailian blew a bubble again, then rolled it back into his mouth with his tongue, chewed it, and said calmly, "They believe in their own pitchers."

Baseball is a sport where you can't lose as long as you don't let your opponent score. If there is a good pitcher, then as long as one side can nibble the score, the victory of the game can be guaranteed.

Akagi now is probably like this.

They are not satisfied with the two points in front of them, but see the dawn of victory in the game.

After Sawamura, Akagi's fifth bat was quickly out.

Three outs, offense and defense exchange.

Akagi boarded the pitching mound of the official game after a long absence.

The hitters of Shi Lun Middle School received advice from their own coaches before playing.

"The pitch of the opponent's pitcher is definitely not under Tanaka. Therefore, at the beginning, don't worry, you have to hit the opponent's pitch. Get used to his ball speed, consume his ball count, try hard, and don't get out easily. Of course, also There is no need to be timid, their defense is very weak, as long as there is a good opportunity, they can swing the bat decisively..."

Coach Ishikawa commanded in a low voice.

"Yes!"

With a strategy, Shi Lun's players were very high-spirited. They looked at Chicheng as if Chicheng's players were lambs to be slaughtered.

The second half of the game begins.

Coach Ishikawa asked someone to bring a ball speed tester. He really wanted to know how much Sawamura's ball speed was.

Now that Sawamura is only in the first year, there should be many opportunities for them to deal with each other in the future. Coach Ishikawa thinks that he is very necessary to study Sawamura.

Shi Lun's first hitter stepped into the strike zone.

In the position of the catcher, Feng Xiangao glanced at the batter, and then nodded to Zecun.

Just use your ball speed to fight!

On the pitcher mound, Sawamura nodded slightly, then let out a long sigh of relief, and suddenly shouted, "I'll leave the guards behind, I'll let them keep hitting."

Sawamura's roar was too sudden, and the group of relatives and friends who came to support Shilun Middle School was taken aback.

On the other side of the stand, Tu Feiyuan and Xiaobai looked at each other in amazement, and both couldn't help laughing.

This guy is too interesting, how can a pitcher come on the court and shout for the opponent to hit his own ball.
