Chapter 161: Qingdao vs Daocheng Industry (12)
Yagami raised his leg and stepped forward, and as Chris asked, he swung his arm and threw a slide that slid from the high position in the inside corner to the middle position in the outside corner.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Chris opened his case to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, then took the baseball out of the sleeve and threw it back to Yagami.
“Nice pitch.“
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“Nice pitch.“
After a bad ball high in the outside corner, Yagami Yagami threw a straight ball in the middle of the outside corner with a wave of his arm, and the hitter Keisuke Kawanishi did not swing the bat, as always.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami waved his arm and threw a low-post ball in the inside corner, because his own state had not been completely adjusted, causing the baseball to fly slightly inward from the pitcher's mound, and then flew out of the good ball area and turned into a bad ball to send the hitter Keisuke Kawanishi to base.
The current situation on the field is that there are people on first and second base, and no one is out, and the worst situation for Yagami and Chris, and even the entire Qingdao Road, suddenly appears.
Keisuke Kawanishi took off his knee pads while talking to the players who came up to get things, giving himself an evaluation of the state of the Seido ace, and letting the senior who was fighting in the back try to completely blow up Yagami Night.
After a brief conversation with Yagami, Chris left the pitcher's mound and ran back to home plate.
Looking at the hitter Ryumi Koyanagi who was in a short pose in front of him, Chris was ready to get the first two outs at the cost of losing 1 point.
"Whew!"
Yagami nodded, stepped up with his legs, and waved his arm to throw a ball from the outside corner.
"Ding!"
Ryumi Koyanagi pushed the bat in his hand forward and pointed it in the direction of the baseball first base that flew from the pitcher's mound.
"First base!"
Yagami immediately ran down the pitcher's mound, intercepted the baseball that was about to roll, and then threw it to first base with a wave of his arm.
“out.“
Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, raised his hand to catch the baseball thrown by Yagami and blocked the hitter Ryumi Koyanagi outside the base.
“safe.“
Inaki Kogyo runners Kosong Naito and Keisuke Kawanishi took this opportunity to run on third and second base.
Hirojiro Hiragaki, the third baton of Inagi Industry, walked to the batting area with his bat, and Ryumi Koyanagi, the second batter, walked into the rest area while waving and clapping with his teammates.
Chris gathered all the defenders around the pitcher's mound and then laid out his plan to return the ball to home plate as soon as they received a baseball from a hitter so that he could use it to kill the runner who ran back to home.
"Qingdao! Qingdao! ”
"Come on! Come on! ”
"Winner! Winning! ”
After getting the other people's consent, Chris stretched out his right hand and placed it on top of the overlapping palms, then waved it vigorously and shouted a few slogans before they dispersed.
After the timeout requested by Seido, hitter Kojiro Hiragaki leaned his bat on his right shoulder with both hands and made a gesture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Chris moved his ball sleeve to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. Faced with a bad ball thrown by pitcher Yagami Yagami with a wave of his arm, the hitter Kojiro Hiragaki did not swing the bat to strike.
Chris got up and pretended to pass the ball to second base, forcing runner Keisuke Kawanishi to run back to second base before passing the baseball back to Yagami on the pitcher's hill.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Kojiro Hiragaki swung his bat vigorously and threw the ball from the middle and low position that Yagami Ye threw over, and hit it hard in the direction of the middle and outer fields.
"Whew!"
By the time fielder Daiki Murasuke caught the rolling baseball and passed it to catcher Chris, Kosong Naito, a runner at third base, had already run back to home plate to score, and Keisuke Kawanishi, a runner at second base, had already run past third base and was on his way back to home plate.
"Smack!"
Chris stepped on the home plate with one foot, then leaned back, raised his hand to catch the baseball swung by Murasuke Senpai, and then quickly extended the ball cover holding the baseball to the runner Keiki Kawanishi who was gliding towards home plate.
“out.“
(PS: The bottom half of the fifth game, which lost two points in a row, was the defeat of Hidai Tsurugaoka, because they couldn't match the one-point difference until the end of the game, and finally lost to Waseda Mitsuya.)
The catcher of Hidai Tsurukaka is short and needs someone to leave home plate to catch a baseball waved by a midfielder, but the runner follows and slides across the home plate, and there is no time for him to touch the runner! If he were replaced by Chris, who was tall and had better catch-catching skills, he wouldn't have lost two points in a row because of this. )
Although Daocheng Industry failed to score another point, the audience on the field still cheered for it, and thunderous applause also sounded, and even the commentator's voice began to become excited.
"In the second half of the fifth inning, the attack of Inagi Industrial High School, four sticks, guerrilla, Goto-kun."
Takaji Goto walked up to the batting area with his bat, leveled the ground with his feet, and then waved the bat in his hand before making the gesture of waiting for the strike.
Yagami turned his head to look in the direction of first base and made a gesture to pitch the ball, causing runner Ryumi Koyanagi, who was a certain distance away from base, to hurriedly run back to first base. After this, Yagami refocused his gaze on the beater, and followed Chris's code to him, raised his legs, and waved his arms to throw the baseball in his palm.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Takaji Goto swung his bat and threw the ball from the inside corner of Yagami Yagami and hit it out vigorously.
"Out of bounds!"
It was a throw-in that went straight to the stands on third base.
After doing this, Goto carried the bat with his right hand and his left foot to level the ground in the hitting area, he swung the bat and took a position waiting for the blow.
Under the loud singing of the Inagi Industrial Support Group, Yagami raised his legs and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a high-position fastball in the outer corner that looked a little outward.
"Whew!"
Unless it's a bad ball, no pitcher usually throws a high ball from the outside corner, and it's just a surprise to say that Chris's matching is really unexpected.
"Bang!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew over home plate and into Chris's open ball sleeve after a small displacement. The hitter, Takaji Goto, was waiting for the strike, but for some reason he didn't swing the bat to strike, perhaps because he felt that the pitcher was throwing a bad ball with his arm, so he didn't swing the bat.
“Nice pitch.“
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
In the face of Yagami Yagami's low-position bad ball thrown from the outside corner, Goto Takaji still did not swing his bat to strike.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Goto slammed the ball into the inside corner that Yagami threw into the middle corner, and it was a high fly ball that went straight to the left field.
"Smack!".
Left fielder Takashi Fujii runs near the left field's sideline while observing where the baseball flies from home plate, and then raises his hand to catch the falling baseball with his sleeve.
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
