Chapter 104: Golden Week Expedition (8)
There are people on second and third base, and the second is out, at least they can score the first point.
Thinking so, Kiki Fujii waved his arm and swept the metal bat out.
"Huh!"
The baseball that Kan Hiromi threw with his arm was knocked out again by the Qingdao hitter, and flew upside down in the direction of the right field.
Before the right fielder picked up the rolling baseball and made a return pass, Naoya Kuraza ran from third base back to home plate to score the first point for Seichi.
At this time, Osaka Kiryu asked the referee for a timeout, and the herald went up to have a small meeting with the infielder before retreating, and Hiromi Tsuki, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, raised her hand to take off her cap, wiped the sweat on her forehead with her arm, pinched the magnesium powder packet, and took out the baseball from the ball cover after standing up again.
Osaka Kiryu catcher Wakamatsu Masaki made a code to Hiromi Tate, who was pitcher on the hill, and then reopened and set up the ball cover.
Hold on! Senior Guanguang, if you want to continue to enjoy this practice match, you have to play this game well.
Masuko had stood outside the batting area with his bat and waited quietly for the catcher to return to home plate, until Wakamatsu returned to home plate and crouched down, then he stepped into the batting area, bent down and bowed to the referee, and then made a gesture of waiting for the strike.
Another very difficult beater, the catcher Wakamatsu Masahiro took a look at Masuko's standing posture as steady as Mount Tai, and sighed in his heart, it seems that Tatehiro will be replaced soon, I hope it will not affect his future state.
At this time, Masuko Toru, who was standing on the batting area, had only one idea, and that was to knock the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound out.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Not good at playing variant balls?
Masahiro Wakamatsu looked at the hitter in front of him, and when he knew that he was not good at playing the change ball, it would be easier to end the game with the third out.
β¦β¦
"Whew!"
Suddenly, the baseball came at the pitcher's hill, and Kiryu Osaka's four-batter swept the metal bat out with great force.
"Ping!"
There was a crunch of metal hitting the ball above home plate.
Yukiichi, who was crouching, quickly got up and removed the protective gear from his face, shouting at the other defenders, "First base!" Right outfielder! β
First baseman Jun Izashaki was running as hard as he could, but he missed the baseball that flew upside down from home plate and rolled it onto the lawn in the right field.
Yukiichi also saw the Osaka Kiryu runner standing at second base running on the base bag of third base and then continued to run, trying to rush back to home plate in one go, but unfortunately there was no way to rush because the baseball had not been passed back to him. It is not possible to block the runners.
"Whew!"
At this time, Naoya Kuroza, who played as a right fielder, was a good catcher and made the best choice in the blink of an eye, which was to let the hitter go to second base and not let the runner run back to home plate to score.
"Bang!"
Yukiichi managed to catch Naoya Kuraza's pass and use the ball cover with his baseball to touch the runner who was running back to home plate.
βuot.β
The runner's hand had already touched the home plate, and Kazuya Miyuki's ball cover touched the runner's body at the same time, and the referee signaled for the catcher's ball cover to touch the runner's body first.
So far, two out, second base someone.
Yukiichi also asked the referee for a temporary timeout and ran up to the pitcher's mound.
"Yagami senpai......" He was about to say something, but Yagami Ye took the first step and stretched out his ball cover and patted him on the shoulder.
"Rest assured, I'm not affected by this." Yagami looked very relaxed, "Our opponent is Kiryu Osaka after all, and he is on the verge of losing points in the fourth game, which is already very good." β
ββ¦β¦ Didn't you say that you want to finish sealing your opponent? Yukiichi also whispered in response.
"Of course, it's best to be able to finish the opponent, but if everything that needs to be done has been done, we can't force our own desired result." Yagami said as he motioned to the catcher to look at the scoreboard behind him, "We're 0:2 ahead now, so don't worry about that." β
Yukiichi was a little confused when he walked down the pitcher's mound and returned to home plate, shouldn't I go up to appease the pitcher? How did I be comforted by the pitcher! However, it's good to have such a strong pitcher to partner with, at least when guiding the pitcher to pitch, there is no need to think too much about the other person's emotions.
Yukichi returned to the back of home plate and squatted down, thinking about the current situation for a moment, and then looked at Masashi Yamaguchi, who was standing in the batting area, before giving a secret to the senior on the pitcher's mound.
Since Kiryu Osaka's hitter has adapted to Yagami Sena's fast straight ball and two-seam fast ball, I will add curve balls and stretch balls.
Let's start with a curveball! Cast here, Yathemi senpai.
Yagami nodded in agreement, then turned the baseball in his palm with his left hand, then raised his arm high, strode forward, shook his arm, and threw the baseball in his palm.
"Whew!"
Masanori Yamaguchi, who was in a batting position waiting for a hit, stared at Yagami on the pitcher's mound and noticed that the baseball shot out like a white light in Yagami's palm, and flew straight from the pitcher's mound to home plate.
Masanori Yamaguchi swung his bat vigorously in the direction the baseball flew from the pitcher's mound, but the moment he swung the bat, the baseball that was about to fly into home plate fell downward in a beautiful diagonal arc in mid-air.
"Huh!"
The metal bats swung by the hitters staggered with the falling baseballs.
"Bang!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound landed in the open sleeve of catcher Yukiichi Miyuki, who was crouching behind the hitter.
βNice pitch.β
The corners of Yukiichi's mouth rose slightly to show his mood at the moment, and he got up and took out the baseball from his sleeve and passed it back to the senior on the pitcher's mound.
Masaki Yamaguchi turned his head to look at catcher Miyuki Kazuya behind him, and then turned back to continue to look at pitcher Yagami on the pitcher's mound, thinking in his heart whether he would continue to stare at the pitcher's fast straight ball.
If the Qingdao pitcher Yagami continues to throw the ball, he is not afraid, the reason why he just swung the bat and missed is purely because of the surprise of the Qingdao throw, the diagonal movement direction of the ball is fixed, and its trajectory will be easily seen through by him, and then hit a long ...... The question is what if the pitcher behind the pitcher is not a curveball?
Masanori Yamaguchi looked back at his rest area, where Superintendent Matsumoto was giving him a code, and after reading it carefully, he nodded, turned around and moved his hands, raised his bat high, raised his left leg slightly, and made a gesture of waiting for the blow.
Focus on the pitcher's fast straight ball first, and leave the rest aside for the rest except for the easy ones.
