In the second half of the eighth inning, behind the third-year seniors who lined up for six bats, Fumiya Kusunoki swung his bat, and after standing on the batting area, he turned his head to look at the new pitcher Kurosaki Kazutaka on the pitcher's mound, looking eager to try.

Catcher Ono Hiroshi sensed that Senior Kusunoki wanted to perform well next, and in order to improve his rating in front of the supervisor, he would definitely swing the stick aggressively in the future.

Hiroshi Ono made a signal to Kazutaka Kurosaki on the pitcher's mound and placed the ball cover in the low corner area.

Kurosaki nodded, looked at the sophomore at home plate, twisted his waist, and threw the baseball in his palm with his right hand.

"Whew!"

Fumiya Kusunoki, a sophomore, swept away the metal bat in his hand for the baseball that was rushing from the pitcher's hill.

"Huh!"

Fumiya Kusunoki swung his stick and missed.

A straight ball with a ball speed of 143km/h.

"Bang!"

The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew into Hiroshi Ono's ball sleeve with precision.

Ono felt a tingling sensation in his palm, and he could only grasp the baseball that was still spinning inside the case.

“Nice pitch.“

After the voice of Kataoka Supervisor sounded, many people reacted.

"Huh? It's so fast! ”

"It's really fast, it's probably the fastest among freshmen."

"I didn't expect Qingdao to have two good pitchers this year."

The crowd outside the stadium was quite excited.

Kusunoki Fumiya frowned, remembering what Miyauchi had just said, this kid's ball speed is good, he has 144km/h when he first joins the club, which is faster than Takuya Kimura who played before, just enough for me to perform.

On the second pitch, Ono gestured his code to Kazutaka Kurosaki on the pitcher's mound and placed the ball sleeve high in the inside corner.

Pitcher Ichitaka Kurosaki glanced at the code from Hirobi Ono, showed a smile, nodded, waved his arm, and threw a baseball in his palm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

Fumiya Kusunoki looked at the baseball speeding from the pitcher's hill and swung the bat vigorously, swinging it extremely quickly, causing a burst of air-breaking sound.

"Bang!"

The timing of the swing was a little earlier, even when Fumiya Kusunoki found out that Kurosaki Ichitaka was not throwing a fast straight ball, but a speed ball, it was too late to change, and he could only watch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound fly over the home plate area in front of his eyes and fall into Onohiro's open ball cover.

Ichitaka Kurosaki easily took the baseball thrown by Hiroshi Ono, and looked at Kusunoki Senpai, who was back in a waiting position, and his eyes seemed to be on fire.

Kurosaki Kazutaka couldn't help but show a mocking smile, which made Fumiya Kusunoki at home plate even more angry after seeing his smiling face.

Only then did Kurosaki Kazutaka realize that the beater in front of him, Senior Kusunoki, was a member of the Seido Baseball Club, not a player belonging to a different team.

It's really troublesome!

After Kurosaki Ichitaka collected the smile on his face, he shifted his gaze to Hiroshi Ono, waiting for his code.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

Fumiya Kusunoki stared at the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's hill, stepped forward, and swung the metal baseball in his hand with all his might.

Kurosaki Ichitaka, you guy don't look down on people there!

"Bang!"

"Three hits missed, failed!"

……

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

With the sound of Superintendent Kataoka announcing the end of the game, the old students reacted, and they were given three up and three by the first-year freshmen for the second time.

In the first half of the ninth inning, Naoya Kuraza scored another point for the freshman team with a home run.

In the second half of the ninth game, after solving the first blow of Senior Sakai, the next player on the field was a stick played by the third-year senior.

The catcher in the ninth game was replaced by Naoya Kuroza, and his thinking in terms of ball matching was not comparable to Hiroshi Ono.

The veteran team is more accustomed to the ball in the inside corner, but it is not impossible to hit the ball in the outside corner...... The next bat, that fierce senior will choose to swing no matter what ball the pitcher throws, and the strength of the blow is still very strong, once he is allowed to base, it will not be easy to do!

Kurosaki, throw the ball here! Kuroza Naoya gestured to Kurosaki Kazutaka on the pitcher's mound.

To test his ability to control the ball, but also to deceive the hitter?

Kurosaki looked at the ball sleeve that was clinging to the lower edge of the inside corner of the catcher, took a deep breath, stepped forward, and flicked his arm to flick the baseball in his palm.

"Bang!"

“Nice pitch.“

Stuck on the edge of the good ball area, and some low ball lanes for the hitter to choose to let go, let the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound smoothly through the home plate area, who knows that Kataoka supervisor because of Kurosaki Kazutaka's better ball control, relaxed the criteria for judging the ball, and judged the ball as a good ball.

Hum!

The hitter swung his bat in frustration and regained his footing on the hitting zone.

Kuroza Naoya got up and took out the baseball from the sleeve and passed it to pitcher Kazutaka Kurosaki, squatted down again and thrashed the sleeve, compared the code and set the sleeve.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Even if the ball is low, the hitter chooses to swing the metal bat in his hand and successfully hit the ball that is speeding from the pitcher's mound, causing it to fly backwards and forward.

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was swept off the touchline at third base by the veterans.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Left field!" Kuraza Naoya immediately stood up and shouted loudly.

Shortstop Kuramochi ran to the rear, but the baseball that flew upside down from home plate landed on the ground in the infield before bouncing into the left field.

"Kurosaki, there are still two last outs, we don't want to chase out the seniors, just show our level." After asking Superintendent Kataoka for a timeout, Naoya Kuroza immediately ran to the pitcher's mound and said to pitcher Ichitaka Kurosaki.

Seeing Kurosaki Ichitaka nod at him, Kuroza Naoya turned around and returned to home plate.

Jun Izaki brandished his bat and walked up to the batting area, he first bowed to Superintendent Kataoka, then turned his head to Kurosaki Ichi on the pitcher's mound and shouted, "Come on! Watch me fly your pitch! ”

"Whew!"

"Huh"

"Ping!"

As Jun Izashaki said, the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound was directly knocked out by him.

Kuraza Naoya looked at the baseball that flew farther and farther after being hit by the beater, stood up and shouted in vain, "Right field, middle fielder!" ”

Unfortunately, the baseball that was knocked away by the victim began to lose altitude when it was about to fly to the middle and outer field fences, and then smashed down on the ground in the middle field.

A two-base hit.

Kuraza returned from the pitcher's mound to the back of home plate and crouched down again, thumping his own ball sleeve, and then he had to get serious.

Kuraza Naoya made a code to pitcher Kurosaki and crouched, stretched out the ball cover to catch the baseball that was thrown by Kurosaki Kazutaka, and then got up at the first time, took out the baseball from the ball cover and prepared to pass the ball to second base.

Seeing this, Jun Izashaki hurriedly flew back to second base, stood up, patted the dust off his body, straightened his cap and stood up a few steps away from the base pack.

Naoya Kuroza threw the baseball back to the pitcher, crouched down again, and said, "Kurosaki, let's end this game together!"
