At 7:30 a.m. on May 4, after breakfast, the members of the First Army went to the place where the school bus stopped with their luggage.

Takashima Rei came over with the itinerary of the past few days and asked the captain Dong Qingguo to distribute it.

"Yokohama, Tokai Sagami, Narita, Hakuryu, Kendai Takasaki, Osaka Kiryu ......" The Qingdao people took the itinerary and looked at it, and when they saw the last name, many people were surprised.

Do you want to go to Osaka not only in the Kanto region?

"Kiryu Osaka's playing line is at the top level in the country, and whether or not we can perform against such an opponent and how far we can go this summer is how far we can go this summer! Let's do our best. After Takashima finished speaking, she pushed her glasses and sat down in the first row.

Yokohama?

Yagami looked at the opponents who had made them stop at the semifinals of Koshien in the spring, and I don't know if I can meet them again at this year's Kanto Tournament?

Yesterday it was mainly Kimura and Sakai Senpai who pitched the ball, and today it will probably be Jinguji Senpai and Tanba on the court. Tomorrow's two games should be played by me and Senior Sakai as starting pitchers.

Yagami was thinking about it, and felt the mobile phone in his pocket vibrate, so he put away the itinerary and took out the mobile phone from his pocket, and opened it to see that it was a message from Brother Yugu.

[We started our four-day expedition yesterday and will spend one day in Tokyo.] Yagami, are you free today? 】

Yagami took the phone and quickly pressed it, and clicked send.

[What a coincidence, our school started a four-day expedition today, and today we are going to Kanagawa]

Soon the phone vibrated again—and the message from Yugu came again.

[Haha, it seems that we can only see you later...... Go race! 】

After reading the message sent by Uoya, Yagami replied again, and then pressed the phone and put it back in his pocket.

[You too, come on! ] 】

The Seido school bus departed promptly at 8 a.m. and arrived in Yokohama City in Kanagawa Prefecture more than two hours later, and then quickly drove into the Yokohama High School Baseball Club.

Before getting off the bus, Superintendent Kataoka was the first to announce today's starting lineup, and as Yagami had expected, the practice match with Yokohama was played by Jinguji senior as the starting pitcher, and he and Tanba were on the court as substitutes as the situation was appropriate.

The Watanabe supervisor of the Yokohama Baseball Club and the captain Nagamasa Fukuda came to the parking lot to greet the Seido people.

"We're here this time to cause you trouble." Kataoka Tetsushin said, holding Watanabe's overseer's hand.

"Where, it's an honor for you to come, and hopefully we can have a good game today." Superintendent Watanabe was also very polite.

"I'm really looking forward to today's game." After Inspector Kataoka finished speaking, he asked Dong Kiyokuni to lead everyone to follow behind Fukuda Yongjiang, and first go to the venue of the competition to warm up.

Although Yokohama and Seido rarely meet in official competitions, after all, except for the Kanto Tournament, the only way for the teams of both sides to meet in the game is Koshien in spring and Koshien in summer, but because practice matches are organized between the two schools from time to time, many people know each other, so many Yokohama team members run over to say hello after seeing the Seido people again.

……

"Jinguji, did you hear that, don't be easily beaten out by that guy Sato when the time comes." Takashi Fujii said to Jingujii, who was practicing pitching next to him.

"You don't need to say more." Jinguji raised his hand to catch the baseball passed by Mikoichi Yasuya, and then waved his arm and threw it.

The starting catcher for this practice match, Superintendent Kataoka, still chose to be Yukikazu Mikoya, and the two sides are running in, trying to get acquainted with each other before the game starts.

Soon the game began, and Dong Qingguo's usual bad luck once again made him fail to guess boxing, and Yokohama attacked first.

Jinguji stood behind the pitcher's mound, stepped on the dirt under his feet, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled.

As long as it's a pitcher, who wouldn't want to stand on a pitcher's mound that has never been stepped on?

Although there were very good juniors in the team, he never thought of succumbing to Yagami because of this.

With this in mind, Jinguji Daichi waved his arm and threw the first ball of the practice match under the signal of Miyukikazuya's code.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Shirai Shirai, the batter, did not swing the first ball with a wave of his arm in the face of Jinguji, but instead watched the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound speed in front of his eyes, and then moved his hands that had previously clenched the bat, and continued to wait for the blow.

Yukiichi also glanced at Shimi, the Yokohama hitter in front of him, and asked Jinguji senior for a fast straight ball close to the opponent's knee and in the low position area of the inside corner.

Jinguji nodded when he saw the code from the catcher, raised his legs, waved his arms, and the baseball shot out of his palm and rushed towards home plate.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

After Shirai failed to swing his bat, he moved his hands again, swung his bat, and continued to wait for the blow.

After tasting the sweetness, Mikoichi also continued to place the ball cover in the low area of the inside corner, and made a secret signal to the Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound.

Jinguji hesitated for a moment, feeling that the catcher's match was problematic, just now Shirai Shimi's bat was almost sweeping the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, but when he thought that the catcher Yukiichi was still only a first-year freshman, inexperienced, and needed to grow in actual combat, he agreed to the catcher's matching, and according to the code he gave, he waved his arm to throw the baseball in the palm of his hand.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Yukichi also looked at the baseball that flew out rapidly after being hit by the beater, and immediately got up and shouted, "First baseman, right fielder!" ”

First baseman Kotaro Tojima and right fielder Naoya Kuroza were the first to run and chase the baseball flying upside down from home plate, and Naoya Kuraza waved his arm to pass it to first base after successfully intercepting the bouncing baseball.

“out.“

The first base judge raised his right hand to signal that the hitter was out, and Seichi successfully won the first number of outs of the game.

Under the command of Miyuki Kazuya, the Qingdao side didn't have much turbulence to get three outs in the first half of the first game, and the two sides exchanged offense and defense.

Jun Isashiki, who had just been promoted to the first army, walked up to the batting area as a batter of the team, he first bowed to the referee seriously, then greeted the Yokohama catcher on the side, and finally waved the bat, and the whole person glared viciously at Yokohama pitcher Nishijima on the pitcher's mound, shouting: "Let the horse come!" ”

Yokohama's Watanabe supervisor stood at the entrance and exit of the rest area, and found that Aomichi's batter was very good, but he was only a second-year student, and there were two second-year students (Jun Izashaki and Tetsuya Yuuki) and two first-year students on the Aodo side of this practice match, and it seemed that they were training with them.
