"Yagami, on a cloudy day you are the starting pitcher, catcher Matsuda, first baseman Yuuki, second baseman Tojima, third baseman Higashi, shortstop Fukuda, left fielder Tanaka, kakata fielder Mumurasuke, right fielder Fujii, above."

Superintendent Kataoka then deliberately said to Yagami: "Yagami, remember to allocate your physical strength on a cloudy day, if you win on a cloudy day, I will arrange for you to play in the semifinals." ”

"Yes." Yagami nodded to Inspector Kataoka when he heard this.

With such an appearance, many people naturally thought of the summer Koshien West Tokyo qualifiers that were tight in the second half of the year, so did Superintendent Kataoka want to use this spring Kanto tournament as a rehearsal for Koshien in the summer?

"Let's rest a little earlier tonight, and set off on time at 9 o'clock on a cloudy day towards Utsunomiya Kiyohara Stadium." After Inspector Kataoka finished speaking, he turned and left.

"Everybody's heard, right? Those who go out to practice tonight will finish their practice by 22 o'clock at the latest and return to their rooms to rest, you know? After Inspector Kataoka left, Tokiyokuni stood up and said to the others.

"Got it." This is the reply of the third-grader to the captain of Dong Qingguo.

"Yin Bai!" This is the answer of the first and second graders to the senior and captain of the East Sea Country.

……

Qingdao High School Men's Baseball Club.

Chris and Kurosaki Kazutaka walked on their way to the baseball club as usual after school in the afternoon.

"Senior, hasn't the superintendent replied yet?" Kurosaki Kazutaka didn't say much to each other, and said his problem bluntly.

Chris looked at the dark-skinned boy in front of him, his face that often wore a smirk, but at this moment it was full of irritability and urgency.

"The overseer has not yet given his decision." Chris replied in a flat voice.

"Damn!" When Kurosaki Iktaka heard this, his face was hideous: "What is Kataoka superintendent hesitating about?" My time is precious...... Could it be that he still wants to make a decision based on Takuya Kimura's performance at the spring Kanto convention? ”

Chris was quite surprised, Kurosaki Ichigao, a junior who was good at disguise, rarely showed such an expression in a crowded place.

"Damn! Since you value the pitcher's obsession with the pitcher's mound so much, then simply keep it neat.

After a brief complaint, Kurosaki Kazutaka turned his head again to look at Senior Chris beside him, "Since Superintendent Kataoka really wants to be able to become a pitcher with instant combat power, why should he be obsessed with whether the pitcher has an obsession with the pitcher's mound?" It's a real hassle! ”

"Kurosaki, you ......"

As soon as Chris spoke, he was directly interrupted by Kurosaki Kazutaka, "Senior Chris, I'm not interested in your words to excuse Superintendent Kataoka, anyway, Superintendent Kataoka's image here has been finalized." ”

Glaring, he said angrily.

"Damn! When I chose a voluntary school in the first place, I should have added that the supervisor there is not a very emotional person! Such people are the hardest to deal with. ”

Chris looked at Kurosaki Ichitaka with an angry face in front of him, and suddenly reacted, he just wanted to find someone who could vent his dissatisfaction, and he had already seen through his disguise, so he could complain and vent his dissatisfaction without any scruples.

"I hope that the senior will be able to convey my wishes to the superintendent, and then it is best to give an answer before the school festival, and at the latest by the end of this month, I will be informed of the decision of the Kataoka superintendent."

Ultimatum? Chris nodded to this and replied to him, "I will truthfully convey your wishes to the Overseer." ”

……

At 9:20 a.m. on May 16, the school bus of Qingdao stopped outside the Utsunomiya Kiyohara Stadium, and everyone in Qingdao walked off the school bus one after another with backpacks and balls.

After Superintendent Kataoka submitted today's list to the organizers, he led the Seido people from the passage where the contestants entered to the rest area.

Dongqingguo came back from guessing the punch with the captain of Yokohama, and said to Supervisor Kataoka: "I lost again, Yokohama will attack first." ”

Superintendent Kataoka nodded, and the others didn't react much to this, after all, it was normal for Dongqingguo to guess and lose, and it was not normal to guess and win.

At 9:50 a.m., at the referee's signal, the Seichi and Yokohama players rushed to the field shouting, lined up in two teams at home plate, bowed to each other, and after the Yokohama players withdrew from the field, and the Seichi garrison remained.

Yagami stood on the pitcher's mound and moved his shoulders and wrists of both hands before continuing to warm up with Matsuda's final pitching.

"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"

The time soon came to 9:54, and Yagami Ye waved his arms to throw the first goal of this quarterfinals match amid the sound of air defense sirens.

"Whew!"

……

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“

"Three outs, offensive and defensive exchanges!"

Yokohama's batter waved his bat angrily, glanced at Yagami who ran down from the pitcher's mound towards the rest area of Aomichi, and took the bat back to Yokohama's rest area.

At the end of the four games, Yokohama had already scored 2 points from Yagami Yagami, but on the other hand, he only lost 1 point in front of Seido's strong line, which was a very good start.

"Yagami, cast beautifully!"

"Let's go ahead too!"

The condition of his own pitchers is still so good, which also makes the morale of the Qingdao side high. In many cases, the pitcher's condition is very important, and sometimes it can even affect the condition of the inside and outside fielders when they are on duty and batting.

Kimichi Taro Fukuda moved his wrist, swung his bat lightly, lowered his head and leveled the ground in the hitting area with his feet, and then raised the bat in a position of waiting for the blow.

Ken Kawakaku looked at Aomichi who was standing on the batting area, this was their third matchup in the game, and I am afraid that his complaint ball is quickly adapting.

Ken Kawakaku's right hand was hidden in the ball sleeve and spinning the baseball, looking at the catcher Fukuda Nagagawa's code to him, nodded, raised his hand above his head, raised his left leg and stepped forward, his arm waved down vigorously, and the baseball flew out like a white light from his palm.

"Whew!"

Taro Fukuda looked at the direction where the baseball flew and stared, is it a low ball path? Immediately, he stepped forward without hesitation, and the metal bat in his hand shook violently.

"Huh!"

The rapid swing of the metal bat was swept over the top of home plate, allowing the bat to meet the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound in mid-air as scheduled, but the baseball passed through the home plate at a lower angle and into the open sleeve of Fukuda Naga.

"Bang!".

“Strike.“

Taro Fukuda waved the bat in his hand, then turned his head to look at Seido's rest area, and after receiving the code signal from Superintendent Kataoka to him, he nodded, withdrew his gaze, and assumed a posture of waiting for the blow, staring at Ken Kawakakuchi on the pitcher's mound.
