Chapter Seventy-Six: The Semi-Final Ends
"Whew!"
The baseball flew past the pitcher's mound, and Takaji Goto leaned back slightly to avoid the obviously high bad ball.
After adjusting his breathing and movements again, Takaji Goto continued to stare at Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
Yagami Ye waved his arm on the pitcher's mound to throw a baseball in his palm, and Takaji Goto shook the metal bat in his hand without hesitation.
"Ping!"
Takaji Goto struck the center of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound with precision, and then swung the bat that he had hit outwards with all his might, and after watching the baseball fly upside down in the direction of the middle field, he let go and dropped the bat and started to run the base.
As he sprinted to first base, Goto thought that he felt that the ball was being hit by himself and that he should be able to run to second base.
As he had envisioned, it wasn't until he managed to run to second base that the second baseman of Aodo received a pass from the midfielder.
Coming to the back was Inagi Kogyo 5 Funabashi Yu, who walked to the batting area and stood up, staring at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound as if a fire was burning in his eyes.
Next, it's up to him to blow the horn of the counterattack!
β¦β¦
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
βStrike out.β
As the referee's words fell, Takashi Fujii passed the ball received in the sleeve to the caddies outside the court, and trotted back to the rest area with the others.
In the face of the outbreak of the Inaki Industrial Center, Yagami Ye threw two four-bad shots to protect the five bats of Inagi Industrial Yuu Funabashi and Yuki Saito on base, which also caused them to lose three points in a row in this half of the game before barely ending the first half of the eighth game.
"Catch! Left fielder Fujii-kun successfully caught this high flying ball and got the last number of outs in the first half of the ninth inning, and the following is the second half of the ninth inning, the current score is 7:6, and Inagi Industrial temporarily leads. β
"Qingdao's last chance to attack, just in time for the turn of the top baseman, can Qingdao continue the line and successfully achieve a reversal? Will Daocheng be able to hold on to the victory in the final game? Let's wait and see! β
Although the batter in front of him was either knocked out by Yuki Saito, the ace of Inagi Industry, or was picked up and killed by the defenders of Inagi Industry, because of the successful knockout of the hit base of the Qingdao four bats in the back, the Qingdao line can still continue.
Shirakawa Eisei looked at the five-stick beater in front of him, who was ready to strike, Murasuke Taiki, and thought in his heart how to deal with the opponent's last beater.
After thinking for a while, Shirakawa Eisei gave a secret signal to Saito, the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and the whole person moved outward, opened and set up the ball cover.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
βStrike.β
After winning the first good ball, Shirakawa Eisei looked at Daiki Murakuke, who had rearranged the action in front of him, and continued to ask Yuki Saito for the ball in the outer corner.
Murasuke looked at the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound, and its path was clearly off the good zone, so he motionless and let the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound whizz in front of his eyes.
βball.β
With a good ball and a bad ball, Eisei Shirakawa moved the ball sleeve and asked Yuki Saito for a ball close to the corner of the good ball area.
As the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew closer and closer, Murasuke turned his horse and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his might, knocking the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound into the air.
"Ping!"
After watching the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound swept in the direction of the left field, Murasuke Taiki immediately dropped the bat and started to run base.
Just as Murasuke Taiki ran to first base and was about to continue the sprint to second base, he suddenly heard the first base instructor behind him shout to him, "Murasuke, the ball flew out - it's a home run!" β
What? Home run?
Looking up in the direction of the left fielder in surprise, he saw that the left fielder of Inagi Industry was looking up at the unoccupied stands behind him, and the white baseball rolled a few times and fell to the bottom of the steps before stopping.
Seido's support team has changed to a special track to celebrate the home run, and the members of the rest area are also waving their arms excitedly at Murasuke Taiki.
"Goodbye home run for 2 points! Qingdao successfully reversed the score at the last moment, and Daocheng Industrial lost to Qingdao 7:8. β
Daiki Murakusuke, who ran back to home plate, and Higashi Kiyokuni, who returned to home plate first, high-fived each other, took the bat that Tokiyokuni handed back to him, and then stayed where he was, waiting for the rest area to run towards them.
The Qingdao crowd hugged each other, lined up and bowed to each other with the loud air raid sirens, ending the semi-finals of the Tokyo Metropolitan University Wild Ball Tournament between Qingdao and Inagi Industry in the spring.
On the stand on the side of Daocheng Industry, a blonde young man chased the figure belonging to Yagami on the side of Qingdao, his hands clenched into fists, and his eyes were full of battle intent.
"Chenggong is gone, and I'm going back to school." A half-race teenager walked up to him and said.
"Right now." Narumi Miya finally glanced at Yagamiya's back, turned around and left the audience with the members of the second and third armies of the Daocheng Industrial Baseball Club.
When entering the passage away from the court, the personnel of Qingdao and Daocheng Industrial met unexpectedly.
With his excellent eyesight, Narumiya saw the bespectacled teenager in the crowd opposite.
"Ichiya!" Narumiya walked briskly towards Miyukichiya.
Hearing someone call him, Yukiichi also paused, and Kuraza Naoya and Senior Chris, who were originally walking with him, also reflexively stopped, looked up at the blonde boy who walked straight across from him, and realized that the other party was coming to find Miyuki Kazuya, and the two of them nodded to Miyukichiya, and then walked away together.
"Naru, long time no see." Yukiichi also said hello to Narumi Narumiya.
Narumi Miyaki took his little friend to block in front of Miyuki Kazuya, and the second and third army members who passed by him stopped when they saw this and asked, "Do you need help?" β
"No, I know them." Yukiichi also rejected the other party's kindness, and then asked Cheng Gongming, "Is there something wrong?" Toll. β
"The reason why I lost today's game was because I didn't play, and the next time we win will be us." Cheng Gongming held his head high and said confidently.
"Really?" Yukiichi also said with a smile: "It's a pity, it is possible to meet Daocheng Industry again until the Xia Jia qualifiers, and you don't want to lose to others before you meet our Qingdao." βγ
"That's what I'm going to say! Ichiya, you wait, I will definitely win back this defeat in the next competition! After Narimiya finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand to Yukiichi.
"I'll see you on the field, I'm not going to lose." Yukiichi also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Narumiya, and then the two sides separated to catch up with the large army of their own school.
