After the practice match, the White Dragon's supervisor asked the captain of the White Dragon Baseball Club to lead the Qingdao people to their cafeteria.

After lunch, the Seido people got on the school bus and prepared to set off for their next destination, Kendai Takasaki.

Before leaving, the overseer of the white dragon shook the hand of the superintendent Kataoka and said, "This year's Seido is indeed exciting. ”

Superintendent Kataoka also said very politely, "I hope we can meet again in Koshien." ”

At 14:15 p.m., the Qingdao school bus drove into the campus of Kendai Takasaki as scheduled.

After greeting each other, Superintendent Kataoka and Kendai Takasaki exchanged rosters, with Takuya Kimura starting on the Seido side, Koichiro Tanba and Yagami as substitutes, Kentaro Matsuda as catcher, Naoya Kuroza as right fielder and seventh, and Tetsuya Yuuki as first baseman and sixth.

"What's it like to be an outfielder?"

Because Qingdao attacked first, Yagami Yaichi sat down next to Kuroza Naoya, who had not yet come on the field, and asked him.

"It feels okay." Kuroza Naoya replied simply.

He and Miyukichi may be almost the same in terms of ball matching, but in terms of guiding others as the commander of the team and even the soul, he is still inferior to Miyuki! After all, he has spent most of his time recuperating since he was injured at last year's Kanto Conference, unlike Yukiichi Mikoichi who was able to compete before the end of last summer; After retiring, the daily training will definitely not be interrupted, and in such a situation, Miyuichi will naturally be able to perform better than himself.

In this way, Yu Yuichi naturally has more opportunities to catch than himself, but because his striking ability is better than Yu Yuichi, the number of times he plays and strikes as an outfielder is naturally not comparable to Yu Yuichi, and it can be regarded as a give-and-take.

……

In this practice match between Aodo and Kendai Takasaki, the final score was fixed at 2:1, and Aodo won the practice match, with Takuya Kimura coming on as the starting pitcher and Koichiro Tanba appearing as the relay pitcher in the fifth inning until the whole game was pitched.

So far, of the six games that the Seido Baseball Club has gone out on the expedition, Seido has won four games so far, lost one, and one has not been played, leaving only the last day of the four-day expedition Osaka Kiryu.

"I'm so tired!"

After returning to the hotel and opening the door, Naoya Kuraza, who had played in today's two practice matches, threw his backpack to the ground at will, and the whole person was lying on the floor so tired that he didn't want to move, and it was Tanba Koichiro and Yagami who came up behind him to move him to the bed together.

"Tamba, I'll leave first, you have to remember to take a good rest." Yagami turned around and left after speaking.

"You ...... Don't sleep too long, it's time to eat soon! "Jun Isashiki, who didn't play today among the five second-graders, went back to the room and put his things away, and when he came out and saw that the door of the next room was not closed, he came over to take a look, and then found Koichiro Tanba and Naoya Kuraza, who were both resting.

After Izaki Jun whispered instructions, he thoughtfully helped them close the door to the room, and then went back to his room to look at Tetsuya Yuuki, who was also resting on the bed, and lightly opened his backpack and took out his textbook, and then left the room to ask Yagami for advice (copying homework).

Forty minutes later, Jun Izashaki looked at the time and found that it was already 6:30, then put away the homework book and said goodbye to Yagami, returned to his room to wake up Tetsuya Yuuki, and then ran to the next room and knocked on the door to call the others to get up and go to dinner.

But in the end, he is still a teenager in the prime of his youth, and Yin Yin was already quite tired before, but after a simple rest and a full meal, he immediately recovered his spirits.

Supervisor Kataoka, who arrived a few minutes early, did not analyze the two practice matches of the day too much, and after mentioning a few mistakes and shortcomings in the matches, he began to announce the starting lineup for the next day's game against Kiryu Osaka.

The starting pitcher is Yagami Yagami, the catcher is Kazuya Miyuki, and in addition to Koichiro Tanba, the remaining three sophomores are also in the starting lineup.

As always, Rei Takashima lined up behind Inspector Kataoka and told everyone about the next day's itinerary.

On cloudy days, we will check out by 8 a.m., and then depart for Osaka on time, and then return to Tokyo directly after the practice match with Kiryu Osaka.

……

On May 7th, after the necessary morning training and dinner every day, the Qingdao people went to the first floor to gather together at almost 8 o'clock.

After checking out at the front desk, Takashima led everyone to the parking lot, and it was estimated that it would be evening when they returned to Tokyo from the expedition.

At 11:41 p.m., the practice match between Qingdao and Osaka Kiryu will officially begin, and the captains of both sides will decide to move first, and Qingdao will attack later.

After the Kiyochi and Osaka Kiryu players saluted each other, Yagami walked up to the pitcher's mound to begin pre-game preparations. Yukiichi was also standing next to him, and was about to say something, but Yagami was the first to speak: "Shall we try to finish sealing each other?" ”

"Ahh Yu Yuichi could only give up what he originally wanted to say, raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a bit of annoyance: "The senior's tone is really big. ”

"If you don't try it, how do you know it won't work?" Yagami turned the baseball in his left hand, "This is the team with the best strings in the country." ”

"In this case, I may ask for some tricky balls, Senior Yagami, can you shoot them?" Yukiichi also said as he covered his mouth with a ball cover.

"It's not a problem, just feel free to ask for the ball." Yagami patted Yukikazuya on the shoulder, then pushed him again, telling him to leave the pitcher's mound and return to home plate.

Yukiichi also walked back to the back of home plate and squatted down, thumped the ball sleeve with his hand, and then placed it in the position he wanted, and compared his code to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

The sound of baseballs speeding from the pitcher's mound rushing into the catcher's sleeve was clear and loud.

“Nice pitch.“

Yukiichi also got up and took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and waved his arm to Yagami senpai.

In this way, the two of them passed the ball to each other to warm up, and at the same time, a scout from Osaka took out a speed gun and measured the speed of the ball with a few fast straight balls thrown at Yagami Yagama.

"The ball speed is between 140~145km/h, so it seems that there should be reservations."

After all, Seido is the semi-finals of Koshien this spring, and Yagami Ya, as the main battle pitcher of Seido, still knows a little about him.

Yagami and Mikoi only briefly warmed up, and the referee signaled for the game to begin.

Shotsugu Yamaguchi, a batter from Kiryu, walked up to the hitting area, waved the metal bat in his hand, and then swung the bat vigorously with the sound of the air defense siren.
