Chapter 41: Seido vs Kansai (5)

Kansai Seven-Stick Nakamura Shoki hit a first-base hit and successfully sent runner Shota Kadoda back to home plate to score until the Kansai ace and eight-baseman Dass who came back to the court was knocked out by Jinguji Ichi, so that the seventh inning ended.

"It seems that Qingdao's ace is still affected by the home run just now."

Jingujiichi was not as nervous and impatient as others thought.

The Kansai players must have studied how to overcome the ace of Seongdo, which is a normal thing between various teams, and Seinichi is also studying the Kansai players, and they have some understanding of Kansai's garrison and line; Otherwise, in the first half of the seventh inning, even if Hiroshi Ota was lucky enough, it would not have been possible to hit a three-base hit and help them score three points in a row.

In the eyes of the spectators in the stands, Teriichi Jingu, who had just been knocked out of the home run by Tsuyoshi Ueda, seemed to have regained his senses, and the baseball he threw became sharper and sharper, and with the cooperation of the guards, he won three outs in the bottom half of the eighth inning, fixing the score of the two sides at 6:4.

In the first half of the ninth inning, it ended after the pitch of the four-batter Dong Kiyokuni played the Kansai ace Das was caught, and the second half of the next ninth inning was the offensive time of the Kansai side.

Jinguji took the ball cover and trotted onto the field, took the baseball thrown by the referee, spun it in his hand, and looked at Kentaro Matsuda, who was already squatting behind the home plate.

Kentaro Matsuda looked at the Kansai stick Naoto Araki in front of him, and compared the code to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill.

Jingujiichi nodded his head after seeing Kentaro Matsuda's code, raised his right hand high, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw the baseball in his palm towards home plate.

"Whew!"

Naoto Araki vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand.

"Huh!"

The swing time slowed a little, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew quickly across the good ball area and into Kentaro Matsuda's open sleeve.

"Bang!"

Kentaro Matsuda stood up, took the baseball out of the ball sleeve and passed it back to Jingu Tereichi, crouched down again, and gestured at him again.

"Whew!"

Jingujiichi's second ball thrown from the pitcher's mound sped toward home plate again, and Naoto Araki quickly swung his bat.

"Huh!"

Naoto Araki's bat hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, but it didn't hit it, and the bat only swept to the bottom of the flying baseball and knocked the baseball flying.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Seido's first baseman Tetsuya Yuki chased a few steps, and after realizing that it was a throw-in that landed outside the first baseline, he immediately turned around and returned to first base.

Jinguji took the baseball thrown to him by the referee, and then, according to the code given by the catcher Matsuda, he raised his legs and stepped forward, leaned forward, and waved his arm to throw the ball out of his palm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

As soon as a ball flew from the pitcher's mound, Naoto Araki swung his bat and hit the flying baseball out of bounds.

Kentaro Matsuda, the catcher of Qingdao, thought carefully for a moment before he made a code to Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill, and then the whole person moved out again.

Jinguji nodded in agreement, and then flicked his arm to throw the white baseball in his palm according to the code given to him by Kentaro Matsuda.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

The ball was too far away from the good ball area to trick Naoto Araki into swinging the bat, and Kentaro Matsuda moved it in again and made a code.

Jinguji looked at Kentaro Matsuda's sleeve stuck on the edge of the good ball zone from the pitcher's mound, and always felt that if this ball was thrown, it would be judged as a bad ball by the referee, but he still waved his arm and threw the baseball according to the code given to him by the catcher.

"Whew!"

Naoto Araki stepped forward and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his might.

"Huh!"

The baseball that galloped on the pitcher's mound was right at home plate with Nao Araki! The swung metal bats meet and collide violently.

"Ping!"

Naoto Araki watched the baseball that flew upside down into the sky after being hit by his own swing, and immediately dropped the bat in his hand and started to run the base.

The baseball, which flew upside down from home plate, landed first in the infield and then bounced towards the left outfield.

Seido's third baseman Higashi Kiyokuni and shortstop Taro Fukuda both chased after him, but they didn't stop the baseball flying from home plate and let it roll smoothly into the left field, where left fielder Takashi Fujii picked up the baseball that was still rolling on the ground, turned and passed it in the direction of first base.

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, stepped on the base bag of the first base with one foot, and stretched out the other foot as far forward as possible to catch the baseball passed to him by senior Fujii, but unfortunately Naoto Araki slipped the base first and directly let him succeed on base.

“Safe.“

The first base judge spread his hands and signaled the hitters in Kansai to get to base safely. Tetsuya Yuuki caught the baseball passed to him by Fujii-senpai, and then passed it to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's hill, next to him was Naoto Araki, who got up and patted the dirt on his body, and then began to take off his protective gear.

Naotoshi Sugiyama, the left fielder and second baseman of Kansai who came on the field in the back, put on a short play preview as soon as he came on the court.

Jinguji threw two shots in a row at this, but Sugiyama Naotoshi didn't play well.

Naoto Araki at first base took a few steps away from the base pack to try if he could succeed in stealing the base, but Jinguji turned his head to look at him and threw a pinch ball to force him back to first base.

Kentaro Matsuda glanced at Naotoshi Sugiyama, who was still in a short shot, and compared his code to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill, then moved outwards and opened the ball cover in his hand. Jinguji nodded in agreement, raised his hand and waved his arm, and after throwing the baseball in his palm, he immediately ran down the pitcher's mound.

Unexpectedly, Jingujiichi threw this obviously bad ball, Sugiyama Naotoshi still chose to stop it with the bat in his hand, and he could see that the baseball bounced on the ground and began to roll in the direction of first base; Seeing this, Naotoshi Sugiyama immediately dropped the bat in his hand and began to rush towards first base, and Kansai runner Naoto Araki at first base was also sprinting towards second base at the same time.

Jinguji quickly caught up with the baseball that rolled over, and turned his head to look at the situation of second base white as soon as he picked up the baseball, and after knowing that he couldn't touch Naoto Araki in time if he passed the baseball in his hand, he immediately turned around and passed the baseball in his hand to first base.

"Smack!"

Tetsuya Yuuki stretched out the ball cover to catch the baseball passed to him by the senior Jinguji, and blocked Naotoshi Sugiyama, who was still running the base, outside the base.

“out.“

The situation on the field is now one out and there are people on second base.

Jingujiichi first looked back at Kansai runner Naoto Araki at second base, then turned his head to look at Kentaro Matsuda's code, and then shook his head.

Kentaro Matsuda could only make another code about this, and Jingu Tereichi on the pitcher's hill nodded in agreement.
