Chapter 42: Qingdao vs Kansai (6)

"Whew!"

The baseball flew off the pitcher's mound and headed straight for home plate.

Kansai Sanko Yasui Kazuhei pulled his body apart, stepped forward sharply, and waved the metal bat in his hand.

"Huh!"

Yasui Kazuhei swung the bat too high, so the bat he swung did not touch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.

"Bang!"

After the flying baseball slid into Matsuda's ball cover, Matsuda didn't grasp the ball firmly, causing the baseball to slide out of the ball cover.

"Bad ball!"

Because of the catcher Kentaro Matsuda's catch, the original good ball turned into a bad ball.

Kentaro Matsuda could only helplessly pick up the baseball on the ground, get up and pass it to Jingu Teruichi on the pitcher's hill.

Jinguji caught the baseball from Kentaro Matsuda, tossed it a few times in his hand, and waited for Kentaro Matsuda to give him a code.

Catcher Kentaro Matsuda, despite his mistakes, is still the core of the team.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

Kentaro Matsuda stood up as soon as he caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's hill and made a gesture to pass the ball in the direction of second base, until Kansai runner Naoto Araki returned to second base and gave up the idea of stealing the base, and then passed the baseball back to Jingujiichi.

Yasui Kazuhei, who had re-established himself in the batting area, swung his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher's hill, Seichi Jingu-jiichi.

"Whew!"

The baseball shot straight over the pitcher's mound, and Kansai hitter Kazuhei Yasui brandished the metal bat in his hand.

"Huh!"

However, just as the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was about to fly into home plate, it refracted in the direction of the lower position of the inside corner, and the bat that Yasui had swung staggered past the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound again.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Stretch the ball?

Yasui Kazuhei waved the metal bat in his hand and made another gesture of waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Jingujiichi's three throws behind, except for the bad ball, the remaining two balls were all hit by Kansai's three-stick hitter Yasui Kazuhei.

Two good balls and two bad balls, Yasui Ichihei Yin is already getting used to pitcher Jingu Teraichi's pitching, and he also has an understanding of catcher Kentaro Matsuda's matching.

Kentaro Matsuda looked at Tsuyoshi Ueda who was standing in the batting area with a serious expression, thought for a while, and made a code to Jinguji. Is the inside corner fast straight?

"Whew!"

Yasui Kazuhei stared at the way the baseball flew from the pitcher's mound, pulling his pace and waving his arms.

"Huh!"

The bat that Yasui had swung and the baseball that was about to speed past collided above home plate.

"Ping!"

The flying baseball was hit by Yasui Kazuhei and flew backwards and rushed towards the area between second and third base.

Taro Fukuda, a Qingdao shortstop who came running, jumped high enough, but was a little out of position, and could only watch as the baseball flying upside down from home plate grazed his sleeve and landed in the infield, bouncing several times.

Although Naoto Araki, a runner at second base, started early, he soon found that although the shortstop of Qingdao did not receive the ball at first, the place where the baseball landed was not far from the shortstop of Qingdao, and in such an urgent situation, Naoto Araki could only try to rush to third base as much as possible.

"Whew!"

Taro Fukuda bent down to pick up the baseball on the ground, and found that Kansai's runner Naoto Araki was about to rush to third base, so he hurriedly waved his arm to pass the baseball in his hand to the direction of third base.

“safe.“

Unfortunately, as soon as the baseball was passed by him, Naoto Araki took the first step to knock down and touched the base bag that touched the third base before the third baseman Dong Kiyokuni received his pass, and the third baseman spread his arms and signaled that the hitter had successfully hit base.

"There are people on first and third base, and Kansai has a great opportunity to score! Can Kansai turn the score around in this final moment? ”

Kansai Takyoshi Ueda walked into the batting area, moved his shoulders, waved the metal bat in his hand, and assumed a posture waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Kentaro Matsuda got up and took out the baseball from his sleeve and threw it back to pitcher Jingu Tereichi, Jingu Teraichi caught the baseball passed back by catcher Kentaro Matsuda, turned his head to look at the Kansai runners at first and third base, retracted his gaze, raised his leg and stepped forward, twisted his waist, shook his arm, and threw the baseball out of his hand according to the code given to him by the catcher.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

Kentaro Matsuda, a Seichi catcher, out of fear of Kansai's four-batter Ueda Goshi, made Jinguji'ichi throw a deceptive bad ball. It's a pity that Ueda Tsuyoshi, as one of the cores of Kansai's attack, was very accurate in his ball selection, and he was not deceived by the bad ball thrown by Jingujiichi.

It seems that we can only face off with Tsuyoshi Ueda in the good ball area!

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

……

Jinguji threw six balls in a row, and except for the first and second balls, Ueda Tsuyoshi hit all four of the remaining pitches.

Ueda Tsuyoshi is worthy of being a four-stick batter in Kansai, and he is indeed very difficult, and he adapts too quickly to Jingujiichi's pitching.

The catcher, Kentaro Matsuda, thought for a while before he drew his code to pitcher Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.

Jinguji nodded in agreement, raised his left leg high, stepped forward, and the center of gravity of his body leaned forward, and was waved down by his raised right hand, and the baseball in the pitcher's right palm flew out like a white light on the pitcher's mound and headed straight for home plate.

"Whew!"

Ueda stared at the baseball speeding on the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his might.

"Huh!"

The metal bat, which was violently wielded by Ueda Tsuyoshi as if to destroy anything that stood in its way, collided violently with the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound and above the home plate.

"Ping!"

The baseball was hit by Kansai hitter Ueda Tsuyoshi and quickly reversed, flying from home plate in the direction of the middle field, and Seido's second baseman Yuki Tanaka jumped up with both feet, trying to stop the baseball flying upside down from home plate, but unfortunately it was still a little close, and the oncoming baseball flew smoothly over his top of the infield.

Nakanofielder Daiki Murasuke ran out of the depths of the infield against the baseball flying from home plate, and the upside-down baseball landed on the lawn of the Nakamidan and bounced a few times.

As soon as the baseball hit the ground, the Kansai runners at first and third base began to sprint again. Naoto Araki at third base rushed back to home plate to score at the sound of the running instructor shouting "Go, Go, Go".
