"Whew!"

The third baseman who was chasing after him quickly, Higashi Kiyokuni, directly ignored Takuya Takahama, who was ready to continue stealing (running) the base, and threw the ball to first base to try to block the Yokohama four baseman Kenye Sato, who was running the base.

"Bang!"

Tetsuya Yuki stepped on the first base bag, stretched out the ball sleeve of his right hand to catch the baseball passed by Higashi, and looked at the first base judge next to him.

“out.“

After the first base judge raised his right hand to signal that Yokohama's hitter was out, Tetsuya Yuki immediately passed the baseball in his hand back to Higashi Senior at third base, intending to kill Yokohama runner Takahama Takuya, who was stealing (running) bases, but unfortunately it was a little slower, and let him steal (run) bases successfully.

"Two out, two out."

"Jingu Temple, it's already two out."

"There's one last out."

Even if Takahama Takuya ran to third base and could be scored by Yokohama again at any time, the Seido guards were still comparing each other's "two outs" gesture, because as long as they won this last out, the game between them and Yokohama could be over.

Yokohama waved the bat in his hand before he walked into the batting area and stood up, he first glanced at his rest area, and after receiving instructions from the superintendent, he clenched his bat and waited for the strike, turning his head to look at Jingujiichi on the pitcher's hill.

The score of the two sides is 4:5, and the situation of this game is two outs, there are people on third base, and the situation of this game has not yet reached the time to give up.

The first is to hit the ball first, and then to make it to base.

On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji raised his hand to straighten his cap, turned his right hand behind him and looked at the Yokohama hitter at home plate, and then nodded seriously after getting the code from the catcher Kentaro Matsuda to him.

"Whew!"

As the baseball flew out of Jingujiichi's palm, Shui Liuang swung his arms and knocked the metal bat out.

"Ping!"

The bat that was swept by the swung by the water streamer successfully hit the flying baseball and swept it to the direction of third base, and the third baseman Dong Qingguo stared at the flying baseball and chased it out, and after running a few steps, he found that the baseball fell outside the sideline, and then ran back to third base.

"Whew!"

Looking at the baseball rushing from the pitcher's mound, the water flow stepped to the side and shook the metal bat in his hand fiercely.

"Ping!"

Jinguji threw a baseball with a wave of his arm and was swept out of the first base by the stream.

Kentaro Matsuda watched the baseball that flew out upside down after being hit by the beater and smashed outside the sideline, then turned around and asked the referee for a new ball, passed it to Jinguji and squatted again, he could feel the determination and will of the water to beat Jinguji's pitch out, no matter what ball he and Jinguji wanted to match, Shimiliu Ang would definitely go all out to swing the bat.

Kentaro Matsuda observed the situation on the field again, and the defenders were standing far away, guarding against the possibility of the opponent's long fight.

An idea gradually took shape, and Kentaro Matsuda finally looked at the batter standing in the batting area, and gestured his fingers under him, and made a code to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.

A quick straight ball from the outside corner, the catcher's body moves out a small step and places the ball cover in the middle of the outside corner.

Jingujiichi nodded after seeing Matsuda's code, waved his arm and flung the baseball in his palm towards home plate according to the agreed code.

"Whew!"

Shui Liuang watched the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound and swung his bat vigorously in the face of the fast straight ball in the outside corner.

"Ping!"

The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was swept in the direction of first base again by the swollen stream, and the first baseman Tetsuya Yuki chased after the baseball with an eye on the spot, and Jinguji ran down the pitcher's mound and ran towards first base.

"Out of bounds!"

Unfortunately, it's another throw-in. Tetsuya Yuuki bent down to pick up the baseball and tossed it to the Jinguji seniors who ran over, and then the two of them each retreated to their own positions.

Shui Liuang, who had dropped his bat and started running base, had no choice but to turn around and run back to home plate, pick up his bat from the ground, and wipe off the dirt on it.

He swung his bat, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it, waiting for the blow again.

After Kentaro Matsuda re-squatted, he made a secret signal to Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill.

"Whew!"

Or is it still a straight ball?! Shui Liuang stared at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, his eyes became sharp, and he swung his arm to sweep the metal ball away.

"Huh!"

By the time the bat, which was swinging in the water, swept past home plate, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound had just flown into home plate and landed in the open sleeve of catcher Kentaro Matsuda.

"Bang!"

Speedball? Shimizu Ryu looked at the baseball that had been caught in Matsuda's ball sleeve and was very annoyed.

“Strike out.“

“Game over.“

The referee announced that the quarterfinals match between Yokohama and Seido was over.

Yagami Yagami, who was replaced by Superintendent Kataoka after throwing the first six innings, ran out of the rest area with the rest of the team and rushed to the field with cheers!

The Seido people lined up in two teams with the Yokohama people face-to-face in front of home plate, and then bowed to each other and shook hands one by one.

When Yokohama ace Ken Kawakaku came over to shake hands with Yagami Yagama, he said to him, "Your pitching is getting better and better, and I hope there will be a chance to face off in the future." ”

"It's over, Senior Chuanjiao, we will definitely have a chance to face off." After Yagami finished speaking, he let go of the hand holding Kawakakuchi Ken and went to shake hands with the others, "Senior, see you in Koshien." He waved his hand.

At the same time, the players of Tokai Daikofu, who watched the game from the stands, got up and put on their backpacks and prepared to leave the stands and enter the field.

……

May 17, Utsunomiya Kiyohara Stadium.

At 9:35 a.m., as soon as the Qingdao people walked into the rest area, they found that there were many more students in the audience who had come to support the school.

"You must win the championship, otherwise I will be sorry for these students who came to cheer." Dong Qingguo said with his hands on his hips and an unusually prominent belly.

"Then wait a minute, if you don't hit a home run, we won't let you go easily." Yuki Tanaka put on a ball cap and waved it with a bat.

In this game, the Qingdao side attacked first, and the front sticks were all warming up and making final preparations.

The referee looked at the time, and at 9:55, he raised his hand to signal that the game between Qingdao and Donghai Dajiafu was about to start.

Players from both sides immediately lined up on the edge of the field, shouted together, and rushed onto the field, then took their positions at home plate and bowed to each other at the referee's signal.

After the Seido players saluted each other, everyone except Taro Fukuda, who was beaten by a batter, left the arena one after another, and the starting players of Tokai Daikofu ran to their respective positions for the final warm-up.
