Although the count was three balls and two strikes, and neither side had any room left to retreat, the overall situation had already been reversed!!
After all, Seidou was still leading by six runs. Even if they gave up one or two runs, as long as their momentum was not stolen, it would not be a major problem!
But if the batter was put out and all the runners were left stranded, they could only rely on the sixth batter of the final upper batting lineup to lead the lower batting lineup in finding another opportunity next inning.
At this point, the upper batting lineup would still get a turn in the Final Inning, but the gap was simply too large!!
Who would be willing to stake everything on the very end if they did not have to?
It was like a soccer match. If you could finish it in regular time, who would want to go for a last-second winner, or even a penalty shootout?!
What was more, Seidou was clearly about to make a substitution!
If Seidou changed pitchers while their momentum was at its peak, the new pitcher would also be affected by the atmosphere. A comeback would become even more impossible!!
"Ha! Ha!" Having received the Signals for the final pitch, Sawamura prepared to throw while breathing heavily, his eyes fixed on the runner at third behind him.
He slowly raised his arm, only taking his eyes off the runner at third at the very last moment!
If one looked carefully, one would notice his pupils beginning to dilate, faintly carrying a trace of ferocity!!
Just like Narumiya Mei, it was as if what had opened was not his pupils, but a bloodthirsty maw ready to swallow his opponent whole.
"Pff!"
"Whoosh!"
"Crack!"
"Smack!"
"Out!"
