Chapter 119: Spring Kanto Convention Final (2)

"Whew!"

Faced with the baseball thrown by Qingdao pitcher Yu Sakai waving his arm on the pitcher's mound, Yohei Tanaka did not hesitate and vigorously waved the metal bat in his hand, but unfortunately it was not played well, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit outside the sideline of third base.

With a swing of his bat and his feet again, Yohei Tanaka once again assumed a position waiting for the blow.

The baseball that Sakai Yu threw with another wave of his arm flew from the pitcher Mound at a very tricky angle, almost touching the belly of the hitter, but Yohei Tanaka didn't even move, and continued to hold the bat high and wait for the next blow.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

When the baseball thrown by Hiroshi Sakai came from the pitcher's mound for the third time, Yohei Tanaka swung the bat in his hand vigorously, and the metal bat collided violently with the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound before flying backwards in a hurry.

“safe.“

After knocking the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound into the air, Yohei Tanaka immediately dropped the bat and started running the base, and then went to base.

After standing outside the batting area and saluting the referee, Kazutoku Tanaka walked into the batting area with his bat, and then raised the bat and gave a soft shout in the direction of the pitcher's mound to make a gesture of waiting for the strike.

Hiroshi Sakai, who was knocked out by Yohei Tanaka, a first-year student, took a few deep breaths, and after calming down, he clenched the baseball tightly and threw the baseball in his palm according to the code given to him by catcher Miyuki.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Kazutoku Tanaka swung his metal bat vigorously and swept the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound out of the touchline at first base.

Hiroshi Sakai frowned, he was still very confident in the ball he had just made, but he was still knocked out by the beater......

Yukiichi, who was squatting behind home plate, turned his head to look at the rest area of Aomichi, and Superintendent Kataoka gave him a serious expression, and he took a small step in the direction of the inside corner after receiving instructions from Superintendent Kataoka, and then gave a new signal to Senior Sakai on the pitcher's mound, opening his case and waiting for the senior's pitch.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Kazutoku Tanaka swung his bat a few times, regained his footing on the batting area, stared at Yu Sakai on the pitcher's mound, and cocked his bat in a gesture waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“ball.“

The current number of balls is two good balls and one bad ball, and Miyukiichi also made a secret signal to Sakai senior, trying to ask for a ball on the edge of the good ball area to see if he could trick the hitter into swinging the bat.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“ball.“

It seems that Kazutoku Tanaka doesn't know how to swing a baton at all, and after catching the baseball flying from the pitcher mound, Miyuichi also took a look at the Ichijo Gotoku who was standing motionless in place, and got up to pass the baseball back to Senior Sakai.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“ball.“

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Now the number of balls is already two good balls and three bad balls, and the three big and five clubs in the city will never shoot in the face of bad balls, and the slightly better balls will be hit by him, so it is difficult to get the last good ball.

Yukiichi also made a secret signal to the guards around him, asking the guards to step back and expand the range behind the guard, and then asked Senior Sakai for an inside corner.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was swept away by Tanaka Kazutoku to the sideline of third base, and Miyuichi also felt that the opponent was deliberately consuming the pitch number of Sakai's seniors, although Kataoka Supervisor would make substitutions later, but before Sakai's seniors were replaced by Kataoka Supervisor, he as a good catcher was not allowed to wantonly consume the pitcher's pitches.

Miyuki thought about it carefully and decided to use the four bad balls to escort the batter to base, and then concentrate on solving the three big six and seven bats in the back to end the first half of the fourth inning.

The city's three major five baseball Tanaka Kazutoku is the same as the senior of the village, and they are all players who have the ability to knock out long hits and even home runs, depending on the situation, it is necessary to avoid the flying baseball being completely blasted out by him.

Thinking like this, Yukiichi also took a big step outward and asked Senior Sakai for a bad ball with an outside corner.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“Foul ball.“

At the sound of the referee signaling the hitter to go to base, Kazutoku Tanaka dropped the bat in his hand and ran to first base.

There were not too many waves in the rest of the game, and everything was as Miyukiya expected, although Yusuke Murahashi scored a hit through a hit, the next seven bats (left fielder and eight baseman Kurosaki (catcher) were both eliminated by Aomichi, and then ended the first half of the fourth inning.

It's a pity that in the next four games, Qingdao and the three major cities are not very satisfied with the results of the side, and Takuya Kimura, who pitched in the fifth game, lost another point in the first half of the eighth game, so that the score of the two sides was changed to 3:2; if it weren't for the second half of the eighth game, Qingdao got 1 point from Murakami and Mo, who had just come on the court, so that the scores of the two sides were tied again, and the last game may not have much suspense.

The starting pitcher of the three cities today was Kazuki Mori in the third grade, and the catcher was Kurosaki in the second grade, and then the Tahara supervisor of the three major cities in the city switched pitches in the fourth inning, and Mitsusei Ama in the first year pitched the ball; In the eighth inning, the catcher was replaced by Akito Takami, who was in the first grade, and the pitcher was also replaced.

"The tandem of the line is not very good......" Yagami muttered as he looked at the score on the scoreboard.

The problem of playing with other teams is not very obvious in normal times, but when facing a team like the third year of the city university, it was immediately exposed.

As long as the three and six bats play normally, they can basically score points from their opponents, but the play of Qingdao's lower line is very unstable, and they often can't get hits from the city's junior pitchers, so that the four and five bats that are hard to get on base every time become broken bases because they can't return to home plate.

The line is not well connected.,Missed opportunities to score.,In fact, Tetsuya Yuki as a three-stick and Kotaro Tojima on a six-stick sometimes can't cooperate well with the four-stick Higashi Kiyokuni and the five-stick Murasuke Taiki.,That's why Kataoka Supervisor rarely let them play as a member of the center line.。。

If it weren't for Chris's withdrawal from the First Army last year due to injury, the improved level of striking is now enough to form a more powerful line with the three of Higashikikuni, Daiki Murasuke, and Takashi Fujii.

It can be said that as a pitcher (catcher), even if you are playing in the lower position, you have to practice the strike.
