Cannot Lose

"Ball!" The umpire froze for a moment before reacting to Sawamura's exaggerated sinking pitch.

"What was that just now?!"

"A Fast Forkball?!!"

"What an insane drop!!"

"That's incredible!!"

Those who had never seen Sawamura throw that pitch were stunned. For a moment, the stadium fell much quieter.

But cheers soon erupted. That pitch had left an overwhelming impression on them.

"Smack!"

"Strike!"

"Batter out!"

"Three outs, change of field!!!"

"Seidou's first-year pitcher, Sawamura Eijun, has retired the side Three Up Three Down this inning as well!!

Neither side scored in the sixth inning. At last, we are heading into the late stages... the seventh
