"Damn, Captain! You've stolen the limelight alone. ”

Everyone stood at the entrance and exit of the rest area to welcome the return of Tokiyokuni and Tetsuya Yuuki.

Murasuke got up from the waiting area, walked to the batting area at home plate with his bat, bowed to the referee, stood with his legs apart, raised the bat and tapped his shoulder, then turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and made a gesture of waiting for the hit.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The white baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound was once again violently knocked out by the hitter, and it flew straight into the sky.

The stands on the Qingdao side boiled directly, and the spectators watched as Murasuke Taiki raised his right hand and ran around the court, returned to home plate and high-fived Takashi Fujii, who was playing behind, and then walked over to the rest area, and Chris who was also standing in the waiting area gave each other another high-five.

"With two home runs in a row, the overseer of J. Oberlin asked the referee for a timeout. I really didn't expect that in the eight-in-four game, Qingdao would play so fiercely. ”

"Presumably because I've accumulated too many emotions in my daily life, I want to take the opportunity to vent, haha!"

During the TV broadcast, the narrator and the guests teased each other.

……

In the second half of the first game, Sakura Meilin's stick did not cause too many waves, and he was knocked out by Jingujiichi with a strikeout.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

As the right fielder, Kuraza Naoya had just taken two steps when he saw that the pitch of the Jinguji senior was hit by Sakura Meilin's second stroke, and he flew out directly, and then flew in the direction of the right fielder.

Seeing this, he hurriedly trotted and prepared to step forward to catch the baseball flying over.

"Boom!"

As the baseball deflected in the direction of flight, it crossed the sideline and landed out of bounds, forcing Kuraza Naoya to return to its original position.

Sakura Merlin was not discouraged, and when the baseball continued to fly from the pitcher's mound, he swung the baton directly to the right.

In this regard, Chris, as a catcher, did not hesitate at all, and directly asked the senior of Jinguji to use a drop ball, resulting in the second batter of Sakura Merlin being picked up by Senior Tojima at second base.

When Sakura Merlin three baton Tada continued to sweep the baseball to the right, the Qingdao people saw the other party's intentions.

Sakura Merlin: Do they think that Naoya Kuroza, as a first-year student and a catcher, must not be used to guarding the right field?

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, and Kotaro Tojima, the second baseman, approached the middle area between first and second base, and even Nakamofielder Murasuke Taiki was moving to the right.

Soon, Jingujiichi let Tada knock out a high fly ball from the outfield with Chris's cooperation, and then was picked up by the defender and got the last number of outs of the game.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

"Seniors don't have to worry about me, I can guard the right field, if the seniors are all biased to the right, in case they suddenly hit the left at this time, it will be troublesome!" After the guards of Seido returned to the rest area, Kuroza Naoya suddenly said to the seniors, "They will definitely be able to use this to get to the base easily." ”

"Kuraza is right, you have to prevent them from deliberately hitting the right first, and then suddenly hitting the left after paralyzing you." Superintendent Kataoka was very satisfied with Naoya Kuroza's analysis of the situation in the arena, "We still have to guard at the usual pace in the future. ”

"Yes!"

……

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew upside down from home plate after being hit by the hitter, bounced a few times after hitting the ground, dodging interceptions by Tetsuya Yuuki and Kotaro Tojima and rolling into the area of the right field.

Kuraza Naoya sped in the direction the baseball had rolled over, observing the infield's running base as he ran.

Sakura Merlin four-batter Nakamura seemed to feel like he had hit far enough to sprint to second base after running past first base.

Kuraza Naoya bent down and grabbed the baseball that rolled over with a ball cover, and then grabbed the baseball in the ball cover with a quick copy of his right hand, and squatted sideways, raising his hand to fly in the direction of second base.

I saw that Naoya Kuraza shook his arm, and the baseball that flew out rushed through the lawn of the outfield at a very fast speed like a white light, and flew directly into the ball sleeve that the shortstop Taro Fukuda had already opened and was waiting for the right fielder to pass.

"Smack!"

“out.“

The second base judge raised his right hand at Nakamura, the four-baseman who flew at second base, and signaled for him to be out.

“safe.“

At the same time, the J. F. Oberlin runner, Tada, who had previously hit the top base from Jingujiichi, took the opportunity to run from first base to third base in one go.

"Can you pass the ball well in that position?"

"It's so fast! It's rare for a catcher to have this kind of ball speed, and it feels like the ball is going to second base with a 'boom'. ”

"The passing was also accurate, and it felt like his teammates hadn't moved the case at all, as if a flying baseball had been automatically sucked into the second baseman's case."

"With this level of ball speed and ball control, I don't think he should be a catcher, wouldn't it be better to be a pitcher?"

There was a lot of talk in the stands, and many scouts and reporters who came to watch the game took out their notebooks and added their own notes under the name of Naoya Kuroza.

"Well done, Kuraza."

"Two out, already two out."

On the field, the Qingdao players were very excited, and they gestured to each other for two outs.

Behind home plate, Chris, who was half-crouching, looked at the pass of Naoya Kuraza, and involuntarily remembered what the other party had said: if he is not a catcher, there is no big problem with playing any position of inside (outside) fielder. ”

In Sakura Merin's rest area, Sakura Bramin's superintendent frowned.

He didn't believe that Naoya Kuroza, as a catcher, would spend too much time and energy practicing outfield guarding, so when he asked him if he wanted to change his tactics before Sakura Bat came on the court, he still stuck to his original plan and used Naoya Kuroza as a breakthrough in the attack.

Superintendent J. Fryan looked up at the scoreboard at the back of the court, and it was now the bottom half of the seventh inning, and the score of the two sides was 6:2, and it was almost certain that they had lost this game.

But he still didn't give up the idea of closing the score between the two sides!

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

Sakura Uchiyama hit the baseball thrown by pitcher Jinguji with a five-stick swing, knocking it out hard.

The baseball was hit by the hitter and flew out in the direction of the right field, even if Tetsuya Yuki and Kotaro Tojima had the intention to intercept it, it would be useless.

"Will this ball fly out and land outside the fence to form a home run?"

Many people in the stands stood up and looked nervously in the direction of the right field.

The baseball, which was flying at great speed from home plate, began to fall just a little short of the fence below the stands.

"Boom!"

The baseball fell on the lawn in the right field, and Uchiyama, who was running the base, couldn't help but speed up his own running.

"Huh? Qingdao's right fielder has caught up. ”

"Kuraza!" Naoki Murasuke, a midfielder, was also running towards this side, and at the same time, Naoya Kuroza on the other side had already run to the spot where the baseball landed in the right field.

I saw him take a step forward, jump up and stretch out the ball sleeve to grab the bounced baseball, and immediately turned around after landing, waved his arm, and threw the baseball in his hand to second base.

"Bang!" Kotaro Tojima opens his ball sleeve and catches the baseball that Kuraza flies over.

Although it was impossible to prevent Tada, a runner at third base, from returning to home plate to score, Uchiyama, who had already run past first base, had to turn around and run back, turning the original second base hit into a first base hit, and it was also a question whether Uchiyama would be able to run back to first base smoothly.
