In Love with The Genius

Chapter 11

~Quarter Finals

(Jingu Secondary Stadium)

At game time, Ouya's in defense and Wakabayashi Ouya's ace went 3 up 3 downs  and kominato head to the dugout after he got out.

"he already use his shootball" shihara whispered while watching from the dugout

"ehhh? shootball?" manager ota asked

"ah yeah, i already seen it in their practice" Seido who will be in defense Sawamura shihara called miyuki

"miyuki, they're known for playing mind games they might use it to sawamura." miyuki nodded before heading to the field.

sawamura whose the Seido's starting pitcher seemingly on a roll, he easily out Ouya's first and second batters but when Miyuki then calls for a changeup which Sawamura learned from Ochiai. Sawamura tries to execute but embarrassingly fails.

"seriously, im glad im not on the field" shihara commented while watching sawamura fails to throw the change up.

Ouya starts to play mind games on Sawamura, first making him commit a balk followed by a RBI.

"i already told miyuki but didn't aware of that "

"yeah, they're playing mind games on sawamura, since sawamura isn't smart enough to understand that but maybe a little explanation will help him after they already get the 3rd out" Director ota commented again.

after the 3 inning sawamura didnt give them another run since the 2nd inning, now it's the fourth inning and miyuki's up to bat

"miyuki watched out for something unexpected, im sure they watched the previous game they might try something for you"

"try something?" miyuki asked confused

"yeah, but im still not sure what is it, but i they know they have a plan"

and like what shihara said wakabayashi surprised them on his sidearm throw to miyuki miyuki couldn't guess what pitch he throw but as he hit the pitch the ball bounce to wakabayashi getting miyuki out in the first base and shirasu in the second base couldn't advance to third and the next batter maezono got out by the leftfielder whose already waiting in the left field. when they got on the field for defense

sawamura went three for three by pitching to contact. they head back to the dugout and prepare for their offense.

"you're sending a lot of balls my way" haruichi said to sawamura whose drinking water

"i'm making them hit'em to you"

"i don't think so, sawamura doesn't have a choice he can't strike them out for now that's why he really needs your help" shihara commented while playing a pen in her fingers

'wahhh shihara-san's really straight forward'

'she doesn't mince her words'

"shihara-channnn you're so mean"sawamura cried

"im just giving my opinion but if you can throw the change-up like how you throw yesterday you might get strikeouts, just pitch like how you practice" and shihara winked at him

'now she's giving him advice'

'she always do that' tojo the first batter hit the ball between left and center field and tojo got doubled, the next batter kanemaru bunted advancing tojo to third base, now runner on 3rd and 1 out the next batter asou hit the low ball to center field but the center fielder's waiting for it! but it give enough time tojo to score as soon as the center fielder catch the ball tojo quickly run to the homeplate dodging the catcher's mit to tag him out. seido take 1 run back with 2 outs and sawamura's up to bat but get strikeout. that's the 3rd out "luck wasn't on my side,i wont lose" sawamura said while walking back to the dugout
