Chapter 173: Qingdao vs Daocheng Industry (24)
Yagami gasped as he walked over to Chris, reached out to take the baseball that Chris handed him, and then turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound.
"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of Daocheng Industrial High School, three bats, first baseman, Hiragaki-kun."
After Kojiro Higaki stepped into the batting area, he tapped the ground with his bat in his right hand, and then directly made a gesture of preparing for a short shot, and turned his head to look at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Yagami Yagami threw an inside corner mid-position ball with a wave of his arm, slammed into the metal bat that hitter Kojiro Higgaki held shortly and held flat, and then rolled in the direction of first base.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that was spotted by the beaten person didn't roll far before it rolled out of the sideline of the infield, and first baseman Tetsuya Yuki saw this and immediately ran over to block the baseball that was still trying to roll out with his ball sleeve.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Koji Hiragaki raised his bat and spotted the mid-high ball that Yagami had thrown with his arm and let it roll towards first base.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that was spotted didn't roll far before it rolled out of the sideline of the infield, and first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki ran over to pick it up.
Kojiro Hiragaki wiped the tip of the bat with his left hand, then walked around the left shot area and the surrounding area, moving his arms and feet. After that, he re-struck the short stance.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami threw a bad ball high in the inside corner with a swing of his arm, and although the ball was too high to avoid the batter holding flat above home plate, it also became a bad ball.
While the batter swung his bat and re-put on a short stance, Yagami threw a containment ball at first base, keeping runner Keisuke Kawanishi from getting too far from base.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
In the face of Yagami Yagami's swing of his arm and throwing the ball in the middle corner, Hiragaki Kojiro directly turned the short play into a long one, and hit the baseball thrown by Yagami Yagami in the direction of the right field.
"First baseman, second baseman!"
After the pitcher's baseball was hit by a batter, runner Keisuke Kawanishi, first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki and second baseman Yuki Tanaka immediately ran around, and the defenders wanted to intercept the baseball flying upside down from home plate, and the attackers wanted to rush to second base and even complete the sprint to third base.
"Smack!"
The baseball flying from home plate dodged the first and second basemen, fell on the turf in the infield, and rolled all the way into the right field.
Right fielder Hiroshi Ota ran out from the depths of the right field and bent down to pick up the baseball that was rolling towards him, but just as he was about to step to pass, hitter Kojiro Higgaki was only one step away from running the first base.
“safe.“
Without any hindrance, runner Keisuke Kawanishi and hitter Kojiro Hiragaki ran to second and first base without any problems.
"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of Inagi Industrial High School, four sticks, shortstop, Goto-kun."
Yagami raised his hand to catch the baseball passed back by Chris, and then lowered his head and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet; Daocheng Industrial Five-Stick Funabashi Yuno walked away from the rest area on the side of the third base with his bat and went to the waiting area to wait for his play; Takaji Goto, the four bats of Inagi Industrial, got up and left the waiting area and walked over to the batting area at home plate.
While lowering his head and using his feet to level the ground in the hitting area, Takaji Goto shook the metal bat with his right hand, and then directly took a short pose.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
In the face of Yagami Yagami's swing of his arm to throw the ball in the middle of the high position, Goto did not raise his bat to touch it, allowing Chris to open the ball sleeve and smoothly catch the flying baseball.
“Nice pitch.“
Goto took two steps back and gasped for breath before regaining his footing in the hitting area and sprinting again.
Yagami made two pretended pitches in the direction of second base, so that Keisuke Kawanishi, a runner at second base, did not dare to steal the base at will, and then put his attention back to home plate.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
The hitter, Takaji Goto, quickly moved the bat down and struck the mid-low ball that Yagami threw with his arm in the direction of first base.
"First base!"
Yagami quickly ran down the pitcher's mound, bent down to grab the baseball on the ground, and flew the ball to Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman who was outstretching his sleeve and waiting for his teammates to pass the ball to him.
"Porphyry!"
Tetsuya Yuuki raised his hands and put them together to catch the baseball from Yagami Yatobi while hitter Takaji Goto was still in the process of sprinting to first base.
“out“
The first base judge raised his right hand to signal that the hitter was out, and Takaji Goto had just run past the first base at this time.
"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of Daocheng Industrial College, five bats, left fielder, Funabashi-kun."
As soon as the announcement sounded, Yu Funabashi got up and left the waiting area and walked to the left-hand zone next to home plate.
Yu Funabashi cleaned up the ground in the left hit area with his feet, and then swung the bat with his right hand for a few laps before waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami yally threw a bad ball in the middle of the outside corner with a swing, but the hitter didn't swing the bat.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami Ye waved his arm and threw a bad ball high in the outside corner, but the hitter still didn't swing the bat.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Yagami Yagami seemed to be getting worse and worse in his possession, swinging his arm to throw a ball with a very large angle from the outside, and if it weren't for Chris's quick reaction and extending his arm to move down to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, if the pitcher missed, the opponent would definitely use this as an opportunity to win the game.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Unexpectedly, Yagami would throw another bad ball from the outside corner and send the hitter Yuho Funabashi to base.
Qingdao ushered in the worst situation of the game with full bases and two outs.
"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of Inagi Industrial High School, six bats, pitcher, Saito-kun."
Walking outside the hitting area amid the sound of the announcement, Yuki Saito, who was waiting for the referee to redraw the line, looked very relaxed.
After the referee redrew the sidelines of the batting zone, the timeout was just over and Aodo catcher Chris was walking back to the back of home plate.
Yuki Saito nodded to Chris, who had returned to home plate, and the referee next to him, and then stepped into the batting area, and as soon as he stood up, he took a straight position to wait for the strike.
"Whew!"
"Ding!"
The batter swung his bat just in time to block the ball thrown by Yagami Yagami in the middle of the corner, and Yuki Saito immediately dropped the bat and trotted over to first base.
“Nice pitch.“。
The baseball, which was blocked by Yuki Saito with a bat, rolled directly off the sideline and was judged a good ball by the referee.
After the referee signaled, the hitter Yuki Saito could only turn around and run back to the right hitting area, pick up the metal bat on the ground and wave it, making a gesture of waiting for the strike.
