Chapter 48: The End of the Second War and the Beginning of the Third War

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Dong Qingguo stared at the baseball flying low behind him, and used the bat in his hand to scoop up the dark bad ball and sweep it out of bounds.

"Huh"

It was a ball that crossed the edge of the good zone in the outer corner, and if Dong Qingguo didn't swing his bat and let it fly past his eyes, the ball would definitely be judged bad by the referee.

"Huh!"

Dong Qingguo waved a metal bat with both hands and knocked the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound into the air.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was hit by Higashiki's swing, flew past the infield first, then evaded the interception of second baseman Naoya Yamamoto and shortstop Naoto Araki, and rushed into the infield from the infield.

"Smack!"

Nakamida catches up with the oncoming baseball, kicks his legs and jumps, just in time to catch the baseball that is about to fly into the depths of the field.

“out.“ The referee raised his arm and signaled for the hitter to be out.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

……

"Ping!"

The metal bat that Kadoda swung out directly flew the baseball thrown by Seido ace Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, and then flew far out of the outfield area and landed in the stands behind the left field.

Shota Kadota immediately dropped the bat in his hand, raised his right hand and began to run the base, and there was a huge cheer from the support group in Kansai in the stands.

"Two home runs! This was the twelfth home run of the 78th tournament and the first home run played by Kadoda-kun in this tournament, and it successfully helped Kansai reverse the score! The commentator said excitedly, "The score is now 2:3, and Kansai is temporarily ahead." ”

"Damn, you're all out of the limelight alone!"

Shota Menda, who ran back to the rest area, ushered in the envious complaints of other players in Kansai.

I thought it would be a good time for them to continue scoring in Kansai, but unfortunately, after the Seichi ace Jinguji and Kansai Five Stick Nakamura Shogui entangled eight balls, they successfully knocked it out and ended the eighth game.

In the first half of the ninth inning, the Kansai side also ushered in the center of the Qingdao line, after many times of seat rotation, the Qingdao hitters have adapted to the pitching of Kansai pitcher Das and the match and command of catcher Ohara, and successively lost a second base hit and a first base hit, so that Qingdao's five bats Murasuke Taiki and six bats Fujii Takashi successfully went to base, and then with the help of follow-up hitters, they successfully returned to home plate to reverse the score of the two sides again.

In the second half of the ninth inning, the re-outbreak of the Kansai line caught the Seichi ace Jingujiichi a little unprepared, but he showed the psychological quality that a team ace should have at this time, and in the case of Kansai six bats Nakamura Shogui and seven bats Sugiyama Naotoshi both successfully went to base, withstood the pressure to keep the score, and got the last three outs from Kansai's lower line, ending the draw and rematch.

"Seido defeated Kansai 4:3 and successfully entered the three-round battle, and their opponent was Shengang Gakuen."

After the race, Superintendent Kataoka was left behind for interviews with reporters, while the others got on the school bus early and returned to the guesthouse to enjoy a delicious dinner prepared by the guesthouse.

After dinner, Superintendent Kataoka convened a meeting of everyone as usual, commented on some of the situation of today's game, and began to arrange the starting lineup for the cloudy game.

To everyone's surprise, the Katagang superintendent decided to let Hiroshi Sakai pitch as the starting pitcher when facing a team like Shengang Gakuen, which is not very strong, and if he performs well, he can also let Hiroshi Sakai finish the pitch, and if something goes wrong, he will let Yagami Yatsuya play and follow-up.

After listening to Kataoka's arrangement, the ace Jinguji stared at each other with wide eyes, but unfortunately Kataoka was unmoved by this, and told Yagami to remember to warm up, and after Sakai Yu's performance went wrong, he would immediately arrange for him to play and change pitches.

It seems that Superintendent Kataoka is determined not to let Jingujiichi play in the cloudy game, so that he has time to rest.

The second day's game,Qingdao vs. Shengang School Park game is the first game,The start time of the game is at 11 o'clock in the morning,So Qingdao people don't have to get up early to wash.。

After the morning training and breakfast, the Qingdao people took their golf equipment, put on their backpacks, and took the school bus to Hanshin Koshien.

The match between Qingdao Road and Shengang School Park started on time at 11:01 a.m.

The captain of Qingdao and Shengang School Park after guessing boxing,Attack first by Shengang Academy,Qingdao attack later。

After standing in the batting area, the batter of Shengang Gakuen stared at the pitcher's mound, waiting for the pitcher of Qingdao to pitch.

It's not a trump card.,Qingdao just looks down on our Shengang School Park so much?

Pitcher Yu Sakai, who was on the back of the eleventh on the pitcher's mound, looked at the code from Kentaro Matsuda, the catcher behind the home plate, and threw the baseball in his palm with a flick of his arm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

In the face of the baseball thrown by Yu Sakai waving his arm,A stick from Shengang School Park did not hesitate to wave the bat in his hand directly。

"Ping!"

The baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound was hit by a metal bat, and flew straight upside down, flying through the infield and into the right outfield. As soon as the baseball landed on the lawn of the right field, it was caught by Hiroshi Ota, the right fielder of the Qingdao Road, who ran over, and turned around and passed to first base.

Qingdao first baseman Dong Kiyokuni blocked the baseball outside the base after receiving a baseball from right fielder Hiroshi Ota.

Shengang School Park trotted into the batting area with a bat.,After moving your shoulders and thighs,Pose in a posture waiting for the blow.。

Kentaro Matsuda took a look at the two bats of the Shengang School Park in front of him, and gave a secret signal to Yubi Sakai on the pitcher's hill.

Yu Sakai nodded, raised his legs, and waved his arms to throw the second ball of the game.

"Whew!"

……

“out.“

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

"Score three more points, the rhythm of Qingdao's side is very good, and at the end of the third game, the score is now 0:5. The situation in Qingdao is very good. The commentator's voice gushed endlessly, as if he had seen Seido win the game.

In such a situation, Shengang Gakuen began to change pitchers, and Yamaguchi came on the field to replace the previous pitcher Rin.

In the first half of the fourth inning, Yamaguchi, a new pitcher at Shengang Academy, took advantage of the fact that the hitter of the Qingdao Road had not yet adapted to his pitching, and won three outs in a row without losing points.

In the bottom half of the fourth inning, Yu Sakai re-stepped onto the pitcher's mound.

"Sakai, let go of the cast!"

"Don't be afraid, vote for them!"

The seniors were all cheering for Senior Sakai, and Senior Sakai, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, turned his head to look at the rest area, took a deep breath, and waited for Senior Matsuda to give him a code.

Looking at Matsuda, who was crouching behind home plate, he nodded and waved his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.

"Whoa!".

……

In the second half of the sixth inning, the catcher of Shengang School Park glanced at the Qingdao Five Stick Murasuke Taishu standing in front of him, thought for a while, and compared the code to the mountain pass on the pitcher's hill.
