Chapter Ninety-Five: Qingdao vs Kuroshikan (4)

In the first half of the ninth inning, the pitcher was changed on the Qingdao side, and the ace Jinguji came on the board to pitch.

Standing on the pitcher's mound, Jinguji bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, then straightened up, raised his hand and blew the excess powder on his fingertips, looking at the catcher Miyuki Kazuya at home plate.

Mikoichi also looked at Kazuki Takashima, the second batter of Kuroshikan, who was standing on the batting area, and gave a code to the senior Jinguji on the pitcher's hill and opened the ball cover.

Jinguji nodded, turned the baseball with his right hand behind his back, raised his arm, stepped out of his left leg, and waved his arm to throw the baseball in the palm of his hand.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

"Good shot!"

Kazuki Takashima swung his bat and stood up again waiting for the pitcher to throw the next ball.

Yukiichi also got up and passed the ball back to the senior of Jinguji, and after crouching down, he gave a new code to the senior.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Kazuki Takashima, the second batter of Kuroshikan, gritted his teeth and swept the metal bat in his hand across the home plate area with all his might, before returning to the posture of waiting for the blow to look at the pitcher's mound and waiting for the pitcher Jinguji to pitch.

Jinguji followed the code given to him by the catcher, raised his arm, stepped out of his left leg, leaned forward, and threw the baseball in the palm of his right hand away.

"Whew!"

The white baseball flew towards home plate like a white line, and Kazuki Takashima swung his bat vigorously, preparing to hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound with all his might.

"Huh!"

However, the metal bats that swept through the home plate area and the baseballs that flew from the pitcher's mound once again passed by, burrowing into the open ball sleeve of catcher Yukiichi Mikoya.

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“

Kazuki Takashima walked out of the batting area with his bat in his hand, and walked back to the rest area on the side of the Kuroshikan with his head down.

“safe.“

Yusuke Nomura, the Kuroshikan three-batter, knocked out a hit from Jinguji after tangling with him for five balls and ran to first base.

"Two outs, two outs."

"There's only one last outs left!"

Qingdao's defenders gestured to each other, so that their trump cards would not be affected by the three-stick hits of the Kuroshikan, because it was the side of Qingdao's back attack, as long as they won this last number of outs, this practice match could be over, not to mention that the current point difference between the two sides was directly expanded to 3 points because of Shoji Maruyama.

Ryo Suzuki, the fourth batter of the Kurosikan Pavilion, walked towards home plate with his bat, stood outside the batting area where they and the Aodo hitters had already stepped on the sideline, saluted the referee, and then stepped into the batting area.

Jinguji turned the baseball in his hand and looked at Ryo Suzuki, who was standing in the batting area and wielding a bat.

Soon Ryo Suzuki stopped swinging his bat, raised his bat, and made a gesture of waiting for the blow, turning his head to look at Jinguji on the pitcher's hill.

The aggressive gaze he had never seen before at the mat made those who saw it understand the determination that Ryo Suzuki now possessed, and he wanted to pull the result of this practice match back into suspense with his own strength.

Jingujiichi took a deep breath and was not satisfied with the code given by the catcher Miyukiichi.

In the face of the current Suzuki Ryao, any ball that is a little easier to play will be knocked out by him.

Yu Yuichi also agreed with the senior's idea, and changed another code, and the senior of Jinguji nodded in agreement, and threw the baseball in his palm with a flick of his arm.

The white baseball was drawn in Jingujiichi's hand like a white line, and it flew from the pitcher's mound to home plate.

"Whew!"

Ryo Suzuki stared at the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound, and as it approached home plate, he quickly opened his legs and swung the metal bat out with both arms.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

By the time the crisp sound came, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound had been swept away by Ryo Suzuki to the sideline of first base.

Yukiichi also took the new baseball from the referee, waved his arm to Jinguji senior and made a code.

Jinguji once catcher Yukichi also opened the ball sleeve and threw the baseball in the palm of his hand with a wave of his hips.

"Whew!"

Ryo Suzuki looked at the baseball that was almost flying straight to his calf, took a quick step back, and vigorously waved the bat in his hand.

"Huh!"

Ryo Suzuki's deformed posture does not allow the bat to hit the center of the ball with precision, and it staggers with the oncoming baseball.

"Bang!"

"Missed!"

Ryo Suzuki moved his arm and glanced at the Qingdao catcher behind him: "What a powerful little ghost, no wonder I was personally invited by the (Sekiguchi) superintendent before." ”

"Thank you seniors for the compliment, I still have a lot to learn." Yukiichi said as he passed the baseball back to the Jinguji senior.

"No matter what ball you match, I'll hit it!" Ryo Suzuki stood up again, raised his bat and waited for the pitcher to deliver.

Yukiichi was also a little jealous of Ryo Suzuki's determination, thought about it for a while, and after giving the code to the senior Jinguji, he put the ball cover close to the opponent's chest, that is, the ball in the high position area of the inner corner.

Jingujiichi got the code given by the catcher, raised his leg and threw his arm, and the white baseball came out of his hand.

"Whew!"

Ryo Suzuki smiled, stepped out with his right foot, and swept the afterimage of the metal ball in the home plate area with all his might.

"Huh!"

Mikoichi also noticed that the baseball bat, which was suddenly swung by the beater from the pitcher's mound towards him, hit the center of the ball accurately, making a violent sound, "Ping! ”

The baseball flies upside down into the sky in a collision with a metal bat, attracting everyone's attention.

Yukiichi also lifted the shield and stood up, shouting, "Nakashino! ”

When Murasuke Taiki saw the baseball flying past the pitcher's mound being hit by the beater, he ran back quickly, but until he chased all the way to the fence in the middle field, the baseball flying in the sky still had no intention of falling, and it didn't start falling until it flew over the fence.

"Oh! Oh! Oh!! ”

"Home run!"

"Yay! It's a 2-point home run, and the score between us and Qingdao is now 7:6, only one point away from the last."

Amid the cheers of the people around him, Ryo Suzuki raised his right hand and trotted around the base bag from first to third base, then ran back to home plate and stepped on home plate, picked up the bat, and walked to the rest area of the Kuroshi Building.

"One more point, let's attack together!"

"Attack! Offensive! Kuroshikan will win! "The morale of Kuroshikan was completely boosted by Ryo Suzuki's home run.

……

"Jinguji senior, it's my ......" Yukiichi also ran up to the pitcher's mound and was about to comfort the pitcher's emotions after being hit by a home run.

"We lost to the determination that Suzuki had." Jinguji retracted his gaze from the rest area of the Black Scholar Pavilion and said in a calm tone.

This is a powerful blow from Ryo Suzuki's Jedi counterattack for victory, and he and Mikoichi, who don't have the same sense of urgency and awareness, don't have a clear understanding of this, and then let him complete the Jedi counterattack.
