Chapter 3: 1st Practice Match
After saying goodbye to Sano, Sawamura immediately brought the good news to Akagi's friends.
"Practice game!"
It was just three days after its establishment, and the little friends who didn't really understand what baseball was all about looked at Sawamura silly one by one.
"Captain, aren't you kidding me?"
"joke?"
Sawamura was incredulous: "How can I be joking. You don't want to inquire, I, Sawamura, are famously honest in Nagano."
Honest man?
Cang Yue Ruona stared at Sawamura without speaking. But that expression was very intriguing.
"Okay, it doesn't matter!"
After all, Sawamura's face was not cultivated, and he was a little embarrassed to be stared at by childhood sweethearts.
"But most of us don't know anything yet."
Nakagawa Shinchi questioned.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Sawamura smiled and shook his head, indicating that they don't need to mind: "Baseball is a sport, you can play it if you play it."
"Of course, as the team's captain and ace pitcher, I still need you guys to do me a favor. I need a catcher who can catch my pitch."
catcher?
The little friend looked at Sawamura and said nothing. They are not really ignorant to that level. Most of them still know what happened to the catcher. But does a team really only need one catcher to play?
"enough!"
Sawamura smiled brightly.
To deal with the weak Shi Lun Middle School, as long as someone can catch his ball is enough.
"You all put on the catcher's gear, and let's try one by one. As long as someone can catch my ball, we'll have Chinese food in the evening."
"it is good!"
When she heard that Sawamura wanted to treat again, Ruona was unhappy: "I want to treat again, do you still have money?"
The 10,000 yen given by the school has already been spent.
"It's okay, I'll call Mr. Sano. I think he's happy to donate money to our newly formed baseball club."
In the office, Sano sneezed inexplicably.
"Yawn! Did someone miss me?"
Sano, who had just met the girl, had an inexplicable flush on his chubby face.
He feels that maybe his spring is coming!
On the other hand, after the friends tried one by one, Yamaguchi was the only one who could catch Sawamura's pitch, so of course he took over the burden of the team's second main catcher.
The team here has just decided on a shooting partner, and the news of Shi Lun Middle School over there has also spread.
Their time seems to be very empty. The practice game is directly arranged on the afternoon of this Saturday. When that time comes, they can come to Chicheng, or Chicheng's friends can go to Shilun Middle School.
"Let's go, let's go!"
The captain of the baseball team at Akagi Middle School, Comrade Sawamura, said righteously: "The application for the competition we submitted, of course, was our past. How could Shi Lun's classmates come in such a hurry?"
"It doesn't seem that far, our two schools..."
Wakana didn't know if it was intentional or intentional, so she exposed it.
Sawamura's eyes widened, and he became unhappy: "What is the journey, the important thing is sincerity."
"Are you worried that the team doesn't have a dedicated baseball field?"
Cang Yue couldn't get used to Sawamura's appearance, so she directly exposed him.
Akagi Middle School, which has just established its baseball club, is of course impossible to have a dedicated baseball field. With the stinginess of Principal Takada, Sawamura even suspected that even if they reached the third grade, they would not be able to get into the dedicated baseball stadium.
In fact, in the last life, until Akagi was merged, Sawamura never used a dedicated baseball field in Akagi. The only temporary stadium was built by the friends themselves.
"It's still a good friend if you see it through or not, haven't you heard it?"
Sawamura's old face couldn't hold back anymore.
Angrily stared at Cang Yue and said.
"Oh, it's a headache for people to be stared at by you like this. On Saturday, maybe they won't be able to participate in the game."
"Auntie, what's wrong with you? Someone offended you just now. Let me clean him up."
Sawamura immediately made a 180-degree turn, showing his arms and sleeves, posing as if he was going to fight with others.
"Fuck you, who is your aunt?"
Cang Yue was embarrassed by what Sawamura said, and there was a strange blush on her little face.
"What do you think our odds are?"
Before going to the Shi Lun competition, Cang Yue asked Zecun worriedly.
In the first game of the Akagi Middle School baseball team, Cangyue Wakana still hoped that everyone would win.
As long as the game is won, the rest of the baseball team will go very smoothly. If you can form a fighting force, represent the school to participate in the competition, win a good ranking, and win the honor for the school. No matter how stingy Principal Takada was, he would still show something.
As long as the school clubs have good grades, everything is possible, and even some powerful clubs can be sponsored. If it is an old club like the baseball club, the probability of getting support must be higher.
Cang Yue was dreaming her own beautiful dream, and Sawamura's eyes almost straightened.
What did Wakana say just now? How likely are you to win?
Is this a big joke?
Large-scale competitions in this country are played in knockout rounds. This also means that the teams in the first round have a completely different level of strength than the teams in the second round.
Shi Lun can reach the third round all year round, so their strength can be imagined.
Akagi is a group of rookies, it is good not to be abused by blood. Still thinking about the odds?
Girl, daydreaming doesn't do that either.
"Probably a few percent."
Sawamura looked at Cang Yue's face, but in the end he didn't dare to speak out, he just said vaguely.
How many percent!
Cang Yue was relieved when she heard it. She and Sawamura were childhood sweethearts and had a very clear understanding of Sawamura's character. Although he often speaks loudly, his basic judgments are still very accurate. Sawamura said that there is a good chance of winning, so it must be a good chance of winning.
When Sawamura saw his friends the next day, they raised their chests and looked full of confidence.
They seem to be mentally prepared to win.
Does Ke Ze Village really don't know the confidence they come from? This is probably the so-called newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, right?
After re-explaining the basic rules of baseball with my friends, Sawamura began to lead everyone in training.
Before the competition with Shi Lun, he always thought that he could teach everyone more, so he taught more. Grinding the gun before the battle, it is not too fast.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to agree to a match with Shi Lun.
Akagi is an area, there are three middle schools in this area, living next to each other. They are Akagi, Akagi West and Shi Lun. Among them, Chicheng and Chicheng West are both urban middle schools, while Shi Lun was built by private donations. Compared with the two public schools, the conditions are better.
The distance between the two schools was only 200 meters. Akagi's friends arrived at Shi Lun's baseball field within two minutes.
Here they will have their first practice game since the Akagi baseball team was established.
