So the question is whether Seidou will go all out to score 2 runs in the 8th and 9th or score one and attempt to drag Amahisa off the mound in extra innings, forcing them to rely on a skilled but inexperienced first year? Either way, iirc, there was only 2 days between the semis and finals of the West Tokyo tournament in Act I, so Sawamura will likely be a reliever in the finals. Sawamura also had his traumatic dead ball against Inashiro last year. Then again, coach makes his decisions with his heart more than conventional baseball rotation strategies.
