Chapter 47: Seido vs Kansai (9)
Ohara, the Kansai Baba, walked to home plate and bowed to the referee before stepping into the batting area.
Waving his bat, Ohara looked in the direction of the pitcher's mound and could see the numbers on the scoreboard behind the pitcher's mound clearly.
It's the bottom half of the seventh inning, and the score is 2:0, and they are currently two points behind Qingdao.
Now you have to score! With this belief, when Jingujiichi threw the baseball in his hand, Ohara did not hesitate to wave the metal bat in his hand.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Unfortunately, the swing of the bat missed, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew directly into Kentaro Matsuda's open ball sleeve.
Kentaro Matsuda first glanced at Ohara, the Kansai beater in front of him, before he made a code to Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill.
Jinguji on the pitcher's mound looked at the code that the catcher Kentaro Matsuda compared, nodded, and threw the baseball in his palm with a flick of his arm.
"Whew!"
Catcher Kentaro Matsuda looks at the baseball speeding from the pitcher mound, the ball is on the high side, and there is a greater chance that it will be hit by Kansai hitter Ohara.
"Huh!"
What appeared in front of him was a bat, danced by the beaten man, Ohara, and swept past the home plate area, intercepting the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound in front of the home plate.
"Ping!"
Kentaro Matsuda quickly got up and shouted, "Third baseman!" ”
The baseball, which flew out quickly after being hit by the beater, landed in the infield area behind third base, bounced off the ground, dodged Kotaro Tojima, who flew over to intercept, and then bounced out of the infield and flew towards the left field.
Kansai runner Shotaka Nakamura on second base quickly rushed to third base with a hit from hitter Ohara, but just as he was about to return to home plate, Kiyo Fujii, the left fielder of Seido, had already put the baseball still rolling on the lawn into his case.
Fujii Takashi turned his head to look at Nakamura Shoki, took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and waved it back to first base, but unfortunately by the time the first baseman Higashi Kiyokuni received his pass, it was already a step too late, and Kansai hitter Ohara had already made it to base.
“safe.“
"Two out, there are people on first and third base, Kansai has a great opportunity to score!"
After exiting the game from the fifth game, Yagami Yagami, who had been on the bench, looked at the situation on the court and turned his head to look at Superintendent Kataoka, who was not far away.
Superintendent Kataoka stood at the entrance of the rest area, also watching the situation on the field, and did not have the slightest intention of changing Sakai Senpai or Tanba to play.
Yagami retracted his gaze and continued to watch the game on the field; Senior Sakai and Miyauchi also warmed up by pitching in the cowshed.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Kansai ace and nine-bat Das came on the court and hit the first ball he threw at Jinguji outside the first base.
Darth waved his metal bat in disappointment, and after regaining his footing on the hitting area, he assumed a position waiting to strike.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
Then Jingujiichi on the pitcher's mound threw two bad balls in a row under the influence of the Kansai runners.
The number of balls came to one good and two bad. Next, as long as Das casually hits a hit, he can catch up with a point, and if he hits a second-base hit, he may lose two points without even hitting a third-base hit; If it is a four-bad escort, not only can they score a point immediately, but they can also continue their playing line until they completely break the ace of Qingdao.
Superintendent Kataoka was unmoved by the situation on the court and had no intention of switching pitches.
Kentaro Matsuda asked the referee for a timeout and ran up to the pitcher's mound to talk to Jinguji to calm him down.
"And the last out, Jinguji, you don't care about the hitter, you just need to throw the baseball into my sleeve."
Jinguji nodded after hearing this, and after Kentaro Matsuda left the pitcher mound and returned to the back of home plate, he bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, and then reached his right hand into the ball to hold the baseball.
Kentaro Matsuda crouched down again and thought carefully for a moment before he compared the code to Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Good shot!"
Facing the adjusted Jinguji Ichi, Darth swung his baton and missed. After two small jumps, Das got back on his feet, raised his bat aloft, and stared at Jingujiichi on the pitcher's mound.
"Steal the base!"
When Jinguji raised his arm, raised his left leg, twisted his waist, shook his arm, and was about to throw the baseball in his hand, Nakamura Shoki at third base suddenly stole the base and was ready to rush back to home plate to score.
"Whew!"
Das immediately swung his metal bat and sent the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound straight away, and although it was not so easy to get a hit from Jinguji, who had adjusted up with his batting level, he still had to fight for it to help his teammates return to home plate and score.
“safe.“
Although it was only an infield short shot, in such a chaotic situation, it still managed to help hitter Das slide through first base smoothly. At the same time, runner Nakamura Shoki also ran back to home plate to score.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Smack!"
“out.“
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
Although they lost one point in the second half of the seventh game, Qingdao's guard still withstood the pressure from Kansai and took Kansai's stick Naoto Araki out of the game to win the last number of outs, ending the game in the seventh game.
The first half of the eighth inning is the time for Qingdao to attack.
Kansai ace Das faced the top line of Seido, and the response was different from yesterday.
After entanglement with Qingdao Taro Fukuda for five balls, he successfully knocked him out with three strikeouts; After entanglement with the second baseman Yuki Tanaka for four balls, he hit a hit to first base; After a few balls of entanglement with Kansai ace Das, Kando Michi Kotaro Tojima hit an infield short shot from his hand to send Yuki Tanaka, a runner at first base, to second base, and he ended up blocking out.
Although they temporarily led by 1 point in this game, such a score was not safe, and they did not want to enter overtime with Kansai again, or even draw again. If he can hit a home run from Dars's hand, it will be enough to change the situation that is full of unknowns.
Kansai ace Das, out of fear of Dongqingguo, after obtaining the consent of Kansai catcher Ohara, threw three bad balls in a row, wanting to send Dongqingguo to base with four bad balls.
It's a pity that Dong Qingguo didn't appreciate it, and it was good to be escorted to base, how could he knock out a hit from the pitcher, and then use it to get on base.
