Chapter Ninety-Three: Qingdao vs Black Scholar Pavilion (2)
Taro Fukuda took the bat and walked up to the batting area, stood up, raised the bat and looked at the pitcher's mound, and waited for the pitcher to pitch.
On the first ball, Kuroshikan pitcher Taiki Sukai waved his arm and threw a straight ball low in the corner.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Good shot!"
In the face of the pitcher's first ball, Seido hitter Taro Fukuda missed his swing, and after regaining his footing, he continued to raise the bat and wait for the pitcher's baseball.
"Whew!"
Taro Fukuda noticed that the pitcher's second pitch was a little off home plate, so he didn't swing the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and sped in front of his eyes.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Wow, six balls!" The first-year students who were watching couldn't help but marvel at Taro Fukuda, who often swept the ball out of bounds after a good (ball) and a bad (ball).
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“Four ball.“
After four bad shots, Taro Fukuda put down his bat and trotted all the way to first base.
As soon as the second baseman Tanaka came on the court, Yuki Tanaka made a posture ready to strike, holding the bat horizontally, wanting to play short.
Seeing this, Sho Nagashima, the catcher of the Black Soil Museum, gave a new code to the pitcher Taiki Sukui.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
Yuki Tanaka didn't swing the bat at all after knowing that the pitcher's ball was a bad ball that was too low.
"Whew!"
The second ball thrown by the pitcher of the Black House was an outside corner kick, which can be tried, and Tian Yuki aimed the direction where the baseball flew from the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat vigorously.
"Ping!"
Yuki Tanaka, the baseball hitter who flew from the pitcher's mound, immediately dropped his bat and started running on base, and Taro Fukuda, a runner at first base, did not hesitate to rush directly to second base.
“out.“
After chasing the baseball flying upside down from the pitcher's mound, Taiki Sukui picked up the baseball on the ground and immediately swung it to first base, and after receiving the pitcher's pass, Ryo Suzuki, quickly stepped back to first base, stepped on the base bag, and turned his head to look at second base...... Qingdao runner Taro Fukuda has already stepped on the base bag at second base.
"One out!" The defenders of the Black House could only comfort the pitcher with a "one out" gesture to each other.
Kiki Fujii, the third baton of the Qingdao group, stepped up to the batting area and swung his bat a few times before holding the bat high and making a gesture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
Boom! ”
"Good shot!"
The baseball that Taiki Susui threw with his arm was let go, and the beater moved his shoulder and continued to wait for the next ball. Sho Nagashima, the catcher of Kurokan, looked at Takashi Fujii, who was standing on the batting area, changed his mind, and typed his own code to the thin well on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Kurokan pitcher Taiki Sukui tangled six balls with Seido hitter Takashi Fujii, and after scoring two good shots, he used a lob to knock the hitter out with the cooperation of catcher Nagashima Senpai.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Regardless of whether the ball was a good or bad ball thrown by Taiki Sukui, Dong Kiyokooki swung the bat vigorously at the first time, and swept the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound in a somewhat awkward-looking posture.
The baseball flew straight upside down after being hit by the hitter, passing through the intercepts of first baseman Ryo Suzuki and second baseman Yusuke Nomura and flying into the middle field.
When the midfielder Uchiyama picked up the bounced baseball, Tokiyokoku had already taken advantage of it to run to the first base, and Taro Fukuda, a runner who was originally on second base, was now on third base and entered the scoring point.
"The swing of the East seniors is still so bold!" Jun Isashiki, the fan brother of the Eastern Kiyokoku Kingdom, exclaimed loudly.
Coming on the field after Dong Kiyokook was Aodo Gobaat Murasuke Taiki, who stepped into the hitting area, held the ball high with a serious expression, and made a gesture of waiting for the strike.
It was difficult to see the presence of an extra expression on Murasuke Taiki's face, so that Sho Nagashima, the catcher of Kuroshikan, could not find a weakness in the opponent's body that could be used to attack for a while.
Unfortunately, there wasn't that much time for him to think, so he had to start by signaling to the thin well on the pitcher's mound, opening and setting up the ball cover.
"Whew!"
The ball that Taiki Susui threw with his arm was a little high, and Murasuke leaned back and flashed the baseball flying towards his head from the pitcher's mound.
"Bang!"
Sho Nagashima raised his arm to catch the bad ball, then flung it back to pitcher Taiki Sukui, crouching down again.
"Bad ball!"
Susui throws the second ball here, catcher Sho Nagashima again gestures to the pitcher with his code, Susui Taiki nods in agreement, and waves his arm to throw a ball that lands in the low area of the outside corner.
Murasuke Taiki still didn't swing his bat, and watched the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound speeding over home plate.
"Bang!"
"Good shot!"
This is a bat that flies from the edge of the good ball area, and the landing point is the low position area of the outside corner, and the good and bad judgments can be judged, and it is obvious that the referee is not strict about the judgment criteria of the good ball area.
Sho Nagashima continued to make a code gesture to the thin well on the pitcher's mound, and then chose to put the case in its original position.
"Whew!"
The third ball that was thrown by Taiki Sukai with a swing of his arm was a fast straight ball that went straight to the low position area of the outside corner.
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by a metal bat swung by Daiki Murasuke, and it made a violent impact and flew upside down in the direction of third base.
Kazuki Takashima, the third baseman of Kuroshikan, rushed up and stretched out his gloves to pounce on the ball, but he made a save, and Kenji Nomoto, the left fielder, was also running quickly towards this side.
"Bang!" The baseball flying from home plate smashed into the lawn of the left field, bounced a few times and rolled on the lawn for a short distance before Kenji Nomoto rushed up into the ball case.
Taro Fukuda, a runner at third base, took the opportunity to rush back to home plate, and Higashi Kiyokuni, who ran to second base, found that left fielder Kenji Nomoto had picked up a baseball that was still rolling on the ground, so he had to reluctantly stop running the base.
Murasuke Taiki stood on the base bag of the first base, took off his protective gear, and handed it to the team members who came to get something.
Tetsuya Shiuki stood outside the batting area and waved his metal bat, waiting for the Kurokan catcher to return from the pitcher's mound to the back of home plate before stepping into the batting area.
After Sho Nagashima squatted again, he recalled the information he had read before, and Tetsuya Yuki was also a hitter that caught catchers and pitchers hated, and he thought about it carefully before comparing his code to the thin well on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
"Good shot!"
……
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
Sho Nagashima, the catcher of Kurokankan, has been asking pitcher Taiki Susui for some balls that fly over the edge of the good ball zone, and Tetsuya Yuuki can only rely on his judgment of the incoming baseball path to let go of the bad ball as much as possible and knock the ball that is suspected to be a good ball out.
After pitcher Taiki Susui threw seven balls like this, catcher Sho Nagashima suddenly asked him for a knuckle ball.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
Tetsuya Yuuki swung the bat vigorously as always, but his swing this time did not touch the center of the ball, and he could only barely point the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound in the direction of first base, and then was blocked out.
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange." The Black Soil Pavilion successfully won the third out.
"It's a shame that there were people on first and second base who didn't score." Someone on Qingdao's side said regretfully about this.
