Chapter 71: Semi-Final (2)

"Hinogaki, I'll fight after you've chosen." Inagi Industrial's four-stick Goto Takaji squatted in the waiting area and shouted loudly at Hiragaki Haojiro.

"Come on, senior Higaki!"

"Hiragaki, you're on target!"

In the rest area on the side of the third base, the players of Daocheng Industrial were also shouting at him.

Ryumi Koyanagi, the runner on base, took the opportunity to take a few more steps in the direction of second base, and then quickly retreated to first base when Jinguji turned his head to look at it.

Kojiro Hiragaki waved his bat and looked at Jingujiichi on the pitcher's hill and assumed a posture waiting for the blow.

Kentaro Matsuda glanced at Hirojiro Hiragaki, the hitter of Inagi Industrial in front of him, and made a code to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill, and then placed the ball cover in the low position area of the outer corner.

Jinguji nodded, and after making a pitching motion, he suddenly turned around and threw the baseball in his palm towards first base.

"Whew!"

Ryumi Koyanagi, who was some distance away from the first base, hurriedly turned around and flew back to first base, and the first base judge once again lowered his hands to signal the runner's safety.

After throwing the ball in containment, Jinguji turned to face home plate again, and according to the code given to him by Matsuda, he stepped forward and waved his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The baseball was hit by the hitter and flew out in a hurry, and it was a throw-in.

"Whew!"

Koyanagi Ryumi made another pitching motion at Jingujiichi, and the moment he was about to pitch, he strode to second base and sprinted.

"Huh!"

Jingujiichi immediately crouched down after hearing the second baseman's shout of "stealing the base" and throwing the baseball in his hand, and Kentaro Matsuda also changed his stance to receive the ball at the first time, preparing to immediately pass to second base after receiving the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. It's a pity that Hiragaki Kojiro still chooses to swing the metal bat in his hand vigorously in the face of this kind of ball that is not easy to play.

"Ping!"

After the baseball was hit by Kojiro Higaki, it flew upside down in the direction of the right field, and after evading the interception of first baseman Kiyokuni Higashi and second baseman Yuki Tanaka, it was caught by right fielder Hiroshi Ota, who ran up.

“safe.“

The first and second base judges signaled hitter Kojiro Hiragaki and runner Ryumi Koyanagi to reach base, respectively.

Takaji Goto, a four batter and shortstop from Inagi Koi, stood in the batting area and went straight to the action of waiting for the strike.

On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji nodded in agreement with the code given by catcher Matsuda, raised his leg and waved his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.

"Whew!"

The baseball flew out of the pitcher's mound and sprinted straight towards home plate.

Goto took a step back with his left foot, swung his arms vigorously, and swept the metal bat out of his hand.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The sound of a baseball colliding with a metal bat sounded, and the baseball was swept off home plate by Takaji Goto and flew along the sideline of first base.

Jinguji hurriedly turned his head to see where the ball landed, and ran in the direction of first base, waiting for first baseman Dong Kiyokuni to be able to pass it back to him in time after catching up with the baseball flying by.

The baseball that flew upside down from home plate landed outside the touchline of first base, and Dong Qingguo saw this and returned to his defensive position.

Jinguji re-walked up to the pitcher's mound, took the baseball thrown by the referee, threw it in his hand a few times, and turned his back to him.

Kentaro Matsuda motioned for the garrison to retreat, and then asked Jinguji for an outside corner kick.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball was swept away by Takaji Goto again, and he waved the bat in his hand, he was still a little too anxious just now, if he could slow it down, it might be a long outfield game.

Kentaro Matsuda turned his head to look at Seido's rest area, just in time to see a few codes that Inspector Kataoka had compared to him, nodded, and then compared his own codes to the guards behind Jinguji, and then placed the ball cover in the low position area of the inner corner.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

After hitting the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, Takaji Goto knew that a hit would not run, so he immediately dropped the bat in his hand and started running base.

"Third baseman! Shortstops! ”

"Got it." Third baseman Tetsuya Yuuki and shortstop Taro Fukuda sped in the direction of the baseball flying upside down from home plate, but unfortunately it was still a little slower, and the baseball flying from home plate landed on the infield before bouncing into the area of the left field.

"Texas hit!"

"Goto-senpai is so handsome!"

"Well done! Goto. ”

In the rest area of Daocheng Industry, the players who did not play on the side of Daocheng Industry were cheering for their teammates on the field.

Next up was Inagi Industrial's left fielder and five-stick Yu Funabashi.

After comforting his ace, Kentaro Matsuda, who had returned to the back of home plate and re-squatted, looked at the hitter in front of him before comparing his code to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

……

Yuu Funabashi, the hitter of Inagi Industry, became entangled with Jingujiichi, the pitcher of Seichi, as soon as he came on the field.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound was knocked away by Yu Funabashi, turning into a white light that soared into the sky, and only began to lose height when it approached the fence of the middle field, and finally hit the top of the fence of the middle field, and bounced to the ground.

Yu Funabashi dropped the bat in his hand and ran to first base with a smile, and then ran from first base to second base. Runner Takaji Goto ran to third base, while Ryumi Koyanagi and Kojiro Hiragaki ran back to home plate to score two points for Inagi Industries.

"Second base hit! Inagi Industries' Funabashi Jun hit a two-point hit on second base, contributing a good start to Inagi Industries. ”

The commentator's excited voice cannot be heard on the field, but it can be felt in the warm atmosphere in the stands.

"Saito-senpai, come on!"

"Ace, let's hit a home run!"

"Saito, give me the ball and fly it with all my might!"

Inagi Industrial Ace Yuki Saito walked into the batting area with his bat, bowed to the referee, raised the bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound, and made a gesture of waiting for the strike.

Jinguji, who had just been hit by a two-point hit by Yu Funabashi, took a few deep breaths before he began to calm down.

Thinking of the sentence that Matsuda came to comfort him just now, "The six sticks of Inagi Industry, that is, their trump card, are not difficult to deal with", he clenched the baseball in his hand and threw the baseball in his palm according to the code given to him by Matsuda.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!".

Yuki Saito swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously and swept the baseball that galloped from the pitcher's mound off the sideline of first base.

Jinguji frowned, he was still very confident in the ball he had just made, why was he still hit by the beater? Although Yuki Saito's strike level is very good, it is still a lot worse than Takaji Goto and Yu Funabashi, shouldn't it be like this?
