Chapter 54: Qingdao vs Yokohama (4)
"Whew!"
Looking at the baseball that flew almost to his chest, he was instinctively driven by the flow of water and had to take a step back. But he immediately saw the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound move laterally to the outside corner and drop in height and fall into the open sleeve of the Qingdao catcher Kentaro Matsuda.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
Carter Ball?
The runner takes a step forward, gets back on his feet, holds his bat aloft and waits for the pitcher on the pitcher's mound to pitch.
Kentaro Matsuda glanced at the Yokohama Quadruple who was standing on the batting area and gave a code to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill.
Jinguji nodded in agreement, turned the baseball in his right hand with his back behind him, and then held it, stepped out with his left foot, tilted his body's center of gravity forward, flicked his arm, and the baseball in his palm sped out on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
Shui Liuang stared at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and swung the bat in his hand with all his might.
"Huh!"
The swinging metal bat hits the center of the baseball that is speeding from the pitcher's mound, sending it flying backwards in the direction of the field.
"Ping!"
Shui Liuang immediately dropped the bat in his hand and rushed towards first base.
"Will it fly out? Oops, it was a little bit closer, the ball hit the guard and landed, it was a second base hit in the outfield! There are people on second and third base, and it is a good time for Yokohama to score in one fell swoop. ”
He stepped on the base bag of second base with one foot, took off the protective gear on his body and handed it to the team member who ran over to get something, and then patted his thigh with both hands, and left the base bag a few steps away, making an appearance that was ready to steal the base at any time.
At the same time, Yokohama 5 baseman Kenye Sato also came to the field, walked into the batting area, raised the bat, and turned his head to look at Jingu Teruichi on the pitcher's hill.
Jinguji glanced back at the ancient city at the third base and the water at the second base, and then turned his head to look at the Yokohama five stick Kenye Sato at the home base, and frowned.
Compared to the kind of beater with "I'm going to hit the ball" written all over his face, this kind of player with no expression is even more annoying. Because the pitcher has no idea what kind of ball such a hitter will shoot.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Kenye Sato looked at the bad ball that flew from the pitcher's mound at a slightly out angle, and remained motionless, allowing the baseball to fly past his eyes.
Kentaro Matsuda, the catcher of the Qingdao Road, gave a secret signal to their trump card, and Jinguji nodded and threw the baseball in his palm with a wave of his arm
out.
"Whew!"
This ball can be played! Kenye Sato stared at the way the baseball flew from the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
After the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the metal bat that Kenye Sato swung past, it flew straight upside down, evaded the interception of the first baseman of the Qingdao Road, and flew into the right field and landed on the lawn and bounced a few times.
After hitting the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound, Kenye Sato immediately dropped the bat in his hand and ran to first base.
Runner Ang at second base also took the opportunity to run to third base, and Gurushi at third base ran straight back to home plate to score.
"One point! Yokohama's three-, four-, and five-batting back-to-back hits allowed them to score the first point of the game, and now the score is 0:1, and Yokohama is temporarily ahead! ”
The Yokohama six-batter Fukuda Nagamasa in the back was entangled with the Qingdao ace Jinguji for five balls, and found that he was still not sure that he could knock out a long shot from Jinguji, who had been adjusted, so he tried to hit an infield short shot to see if he could use it to get to base, and the final result was as he expected, and he succeeded. The runner at third base returned to home plate and scored another point for Yokohama.
Yasumasa Takagi, who played next, was knocked out by Jingujiichi without making any waves, and the first game ended here.
……
In the second half of the third game, Gao Binzhuo also put the ball cover, picked up the protective gear and put it on his body.
"If you can't knock out a hit," Yokohama's overseer, Motochi Watanabe, put his hands behind his back and said in a flat tone, "Don't be in a hurry, just try to consume the number of shots made by the Seido ace." ”
"Yes!"
After putting on the protective gear, Takahama Takataka also picked up the bat on the side, took the cap from his teammate's hand and put it on, walked out of the rest area, and trotted towards the field.
On the field, pitcher Jinguji stood on the pitcher's mound and pitched a few very simple shots with catcher Kentaro Matsuda to warm up, and then looked at Matsuda's code and nodded.
Jinguji took a look at Takuya Takahama, a Yokohama hitter in the hitting area, and shook his arm to throw out the baseball in his palm.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
“Nice pitch.“
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
……
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
“Strike out.“
Takuya Takahama was entangled with Jingujiichi for seven balls before he was knocked out by him.
Kentaro Matsuda got up and took out the baseball from his sleeve and passed it back to Jingu Teruichi on the pitcher's hill, then looked at the Yokohama hitter in front of him, and then compared his code to the pitcher on the pitcher's hill.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
It was a curveball that was judged bad.
Kentaro Matsuda looked at the Yokohama hitter who had not been deceived and then swung his bat, and compared a new code to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill.
"Whew!"
Takahama also looked at the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the ancient gun, and then bounced off the touchline of first base.
"Out of bounds!"
Kentaro Matsuda pursed his lips and made a low gesture towards Jingujiichi, then placed the ball cover in his hand on the edge of the low area in the outer corner.
Jingu Teriichi's mood began to get upset, and although his pitch was not completely hit, he didn't know why, and there was always a lingering bad premonition in his heart.
"Whew!"
Soon, Jinguji threw the third ball with a flick of his arm and sped on the pitcher's mound. Takahama Takuya, who was standing in the batting area, looked at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound to the outside corner, took a small step forward, and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his might.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
After the bat flying from the pitcher's mound collided with the baseball swept by the ancient city, a crisp collision sound was heard above the home plate.
"Right outfield!"
Kido's right fielder, Fujii, ran into the depths of the right field.
After the baseball was knocked away by the ancient gun, it flew straight into the sky and into the right field, before it began to lose altitude and smashed on the lawn before Takashi Fujii caught up.
Yokohama took this long hit from the right field as an opportunity to run through first base in one go, and then found that Kiyoshi Fujii, the right fielder of Qingdao, had already scooped up the baseball on the ground and was about to pass it back to second base, so he had to turn around and run back to first base in desperation.
