Chapter 50: The End of the Three Wars
"Huh!"
The wind pressure caused by the metal bat sweeping over the home plate shocked the catcher of Shengang Academy, and he couldn't help but worry that if something went wrong with the ball thrown by Nagai, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Bang!"
The accident didn't happen, and Yuki Tanaka missed his swing as he had envisioned, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was caught by him at a low angle.
“Strike.“
Yuki Tanaka waved his bat and stood up again, and the catcher of Shengang School Park dared to ask the pitcher for a bad ball on the first ball, causing him to cheat a good ball number.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
The second ball was an outside corner kick that flew from the pitcher's mound against the edge of the good ball area, and Yuki Tanaka still vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand to knock the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
The second is a good ball, and Yuki Tanaka is in a disadvantageous situation where he is about to be knocked out by the opponent.
"Whew!"
The third ball flew over the pitcher's mound again, and it was the same low ball as the first pitch before, and Yuki Tanaka decided to let the baseball fly freely in front of his eyes.
"Bang!"
The catcher of Shengang School Park saw that since he couldn't continue to trick Yuki Tanaka into swinging his stick, he had to re-compare the new code.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
After Yuki Tanaka knocked out a long hit from the right field, he ran to first base and allowed runner Taro Fukuda to run to second base smoothly.
Kotaro Tojima, the third baton of the Kiyo Road, holds the bat with one hand and stands on the batting area to wait for the timeout of the Kamiko Gakuen to end.
With a wave of his bat, Kotaro Tojima turned his head to look at the rest area of Aomichi, and after receiving instructions from Superintendent Kataoka, he moved his neck and stood up again on the batting area, assuming a posture waiting for the blow.
Although Nagai, the pitcher of Shengang School Park, was comforted by their catchers and other garrisons, it was a pity that his mentality was not adjusted because of this, and Kotaro Tojima was directly escorted by him.
When Dong Qingguo walked onto the field with a bat, Shengang School Park asked the referee for a timeout.
In the case of a game.,It's a full base.,You can hit.,You can also play for a long time.,What should I do with the garrison of Shengang Academy?
Dong Kiyokuni glanced at the rest area of Qingdao, and Inspector Kataoka did not give any instructions, it seems that he was allowed to play freely.
Then hit the ball out! After Dong Qingguo made a decision, he swung his bat, and after the catcher in Shengang School Park ran back to home plate, he stood on the batting area and made a posture of waiting for the hit.
Dong Kiyokook let go of the first ball of Yin Xian is bad ball, and then vigorously swung the bat in his hand at the second ball thrown by Nagai.
"Ping!"
After seeing the baseball being knocked away by himself, Dong Kiyokook passed through the interception of the second baseman and the shortstop, and flew from the infield to the middle field, and immediately dropped the bat in his hand and began to run the base.
Taro Fukuda, Yuki Tanaka and Kotaro Tojima, who were already waiting from the base, ran one step ahead of him.
When Dong Qingguo ran to first base, the running instructor was still shouting at him, "Go on!" ”
So Dongqingguo rushed towards second base again, and at the same time, Taro Fukuda and Yuki Tanaka rushed back to home base one after another.
After the Chinese fielders of Shengang Gakuen put the baseball in the ball sleeve, they found that it was too late to stop Taro Fukuda and Yuki Tanaka from running back to home plate to score, so they had to turn around and pass the ball to third base, after all, only Kotaro Tojima and Higashi Kiyokuni could be blocked now.
After receiving a pass from the middle fielder,Successfully blocked Kotaro Tojima who was outside the base,When he passed the ball to second base,,Dong Qingguo has already run to second base first。
"Second base hit, Qingdao four baseman Dongjun got a two-point second base hit. The score is now 8:3. Shengang Academy is still one number of outs to end the game. ”
Shengang Academy asked the referee for another timeout, but this time it was no longer the defenders who went to the pitcher mound to comfort the pitcher, but directly changed the pitch. Nagai went off the court and Fukuquan pitched as a new pitcher.
Dong Qingguo, who was standing next to the second base bag, was waiting for the new pitcher from Shengang School Park to pitch and warm up with his hands on his hips.
Although the score of the two sides is already five points apart, he still hopes to add another point for Qingdao.
After the timeout,Fuquan and the last hit of the Qingdao five stick Murasuke Taiki entangled six balls,Catch him out with a drop ball,Win the last number of outs of Shengang School in this game,Leave the remnant of Dongqingguo,End the seventh game。
The next two games did not have much twists and turns, and Hiroshi Sakai held the top half of the eighth and ninth innings as he said; In the second half of the eighth inning, Fuquan, the pitcher of Shengang School Park, lost another point under the strong offensive of the Qingdao line.
Three rounds,Qingdao vs Shengang Academy,In the end, Qingdao won with a score of 9:3.
"Ceremony!"
The players of Qingdao Road and Shengang School Park stood in line, and then bowed to each other and shook hands one by one.
The players of Shengang School Park stepped aside, watching the Qingdao players stand in front of home plate, following the music playing, singing the school song of Qingdao, with envious expressions, and shedding painful tears.
Their journey in Koshien ended at this moment.
After returning to the rest area, the Seido people quickly put together their backpacks and equipment, and the next match will start soon, and the players from Gifu Johoku will soon use it.
After packing up the belongings they had brought, the Seido crowd lined up to greet the reporters, and then walked into the exit passage with Superintendent Kataoka.
After returning to the school bus and putting away their backpacks and equipment, the Seido group re-entered Hanshin Koshien Stadium from the spectator entrance and walked up to the stands to watch the next Yokohama vs. Gifu Johoku match.
There were no upsets or surprises in the result, as Yokohama defeated Gifu Johoku with a score of 12-4 and will face Seido for a place in the final two days later on April 3.
In the other half, the quarterfinals match between the Red Sea Osugata and Kiyoshosha (in this case, Kiyomine) was the first cloudy match.
……
After dinner, Superintendent Kataoka called everyone together for a meeting, and after commenting on today's game, he talked about the opponents in the semifinals.
"Everyone knows the opponent for the next game, it's Yokohama." Superintendent Kataoka clasped his hands on his chest and stood in front of everyone: "Everyone should take a good look at the video of their Koshien game, learn more about their opponents, and be familiar with their guards and strikes." ”。
"Yes!" The Qingdao people replied loudly.
Yokohama, like Seichi, has a strong playing line that is known as the national level, and also has an ace pitcher Ken Kawakaku, who is even more powerful than Jingujiichi, and is a stronger opponent than Kansai, a real strong enemy.
