He threw a cutter kai that breaks from a ball to a strike for the first time in the tournament. The normal one breaks on the inside.
The backdoor cutter is deadly vs right handed batters.
Sawamurea you're so cool!!! That Narumiya vibe he gave this chapter he gave by turning his back right after throwing the ball and that look, it's the same Mei did vs Yakushi
The game will go like this:
Sawamura will shut down 8th, 9th and 1st batter from Sankou.
Then he manages to hit Amahisa and gets to either 1st or 2nd base; Kuramochi will advance Sawamura and get to the 1st base; Haruichi will get Sawamura home (reminiscing that point they made long time ago)...
At this point I find it far more believable if Eijun hit a homer than anyone else in the team.
Get that point by yourself!!! You're already carrying these mfs anyway
You can clearly see in page 17 that Eijun is disappointed at his team.
I feel you man, Sankou batters are doing way better than Seidou ones while you're going toe to toe with someone like Amahisa.
Last panel seems like Eijun is calling responsability by hitting his own chest.
