Chapter 184: Qingdao vs City Three (4)
On the pitcher's mound, the Seimchi players slapped their chests with their right fists, then lowered their right hands to end the timeout after confronting the other people's fists, and the No. 15 player, Namiki, who was acting as the herald, took off his hat to the referee and ran off the field to return to the rest area.
"In the first half of the first game, the attack of the three major universities in the city, eight sticks, left fielder, Hoshida-kun."
After standing on the batting area, Hoshida turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, leaned his bat on his left shoulder, and muttered to himself.
"Whew!"
After the hitter assumed a position to be hit, Jinguji raised his legs, took a step, and threw the baseball in his palm with a flick of his arm.
"Bang!"
Because the hitter Hoshida did not swing the bat, he hit the high ball in the inside corner that Jinguji threw with a wave of his arm, allowing Chris's open ball sleeve to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound without hindrance.
“ball.“
Mamoru Hoshida grabbed the bat with his right hand and swung it vigorously for a few laps, then put his left hand up and returned to the posture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
In the face of Jinguji's past bad ball in the outside corner, Mamoru Hoshida still did not swing the bat.
While the officiator was cleaning home plate, Hoshida walked around the left-shot area, moving his hands and feet; After the officiator had finished cleaning the home plate, he re-entered the batting area, waved his bat, and re-entered the motions of waiting for the strike.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Mamoru Hoshida swung his bat and hit Jinguji and threw a ball in the middle of the high position that he threw with a wave of his arm, but unfortunately it was not handled well, and it was a high-flying ball off the court.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball fell on the lawn in front of the junction between the third-base and home base stands.
"Whew!"
Jinguji waved his arm and threw a ball in the middle of the high post with a low path.
"Huh!"
A ball in the middle of the ball?! Mamoru Hoshida aimed directly at the path where the baseball flew from the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
Not good!!
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound staggered with the bat's swing at a short distance and landed in the catcher's open sleeve.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
"Jinguji player really threw a good shot! It seems that his form is recovering quickly. The commentator was a little surprised by the ball thrown by Jinguji with a wave of his arm, just like the hitter Mamoru Hoshida.
"Whew!"
In the face of Jinguji's low-lying ball thrown by Jinguji with a wave of his arm, Mamoru Hoshida straightened his legs and pushed his butt back to avoid the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"Bang!"
After the catcher Chris's ball set successfully caught the baseball thrown by the pitcher, Mamoru Hoshida, who reacted, looked up at the sky with a look of chagrin.
“Strike out.“
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
Hoshida took the lead trotting back to the rest area on the first base side with his bat, and behind him were Yohei Tanaka, Yusuke Murahashi and Shuhei Ikenaga who left the field at base.
Jinguji Ichinoshi trotted back to the rest area on the third base side with his teammates with a smile on his face, and Superintendent Kataoka, who was standing outside the rest area, stretched out his left hand and patted Jinguji's right shoulder after Jinguji and the others returned, expressing his affirmation of him.
"In the second half of the first game, the garrison is a junior college in the city. pitcher, Yusuke Murahashi; The catcher, Shuhei Ikeinaga; First baseman, Yohei Tanaka; second baseman, Kenta Sato; third baseman, Takahiro Ohmae; Shortstop, Ikuya Araki; Left fielder, Mamoru Hoshida; Nakamidfielder, Kazutoku Tanaka; Right fielder, Shinpei Ohara. ”
In the voice of the women's broadcast, the nine players who were to be guarded next rushed to the field together, and each dispersed to his own position to be guarded, and then the final preparations before the game restarted.
"In the second half of the first game, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a guerrilla, Fukuda-kun."
Yusuke Murahashi nodded at the code that the catcher compared, then stepped forward with his leg up and swung the baseball in his hand towards home plate.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Yusuke Murahashi, who was a left-handed shot, swung his arm and threw a bad ball in the inside corner that moved laterally from behind the hitter to home plate, and Taro Fukuda, who was standing in the left hitting area, lowered his body to avoid the baseball that the pitcher swung at him.
“ball.“
Taro Fukuda clenched the bat with both hands and shook it back and forth in front of him, waiting for the pitcher to re-pitch.
"Whew!"
Yusuke Murahashi strides forward with his leg up and throws a spiralball from the center of the inside corner to the low inside corner with a swing of his arm.
"Bang!"
Taro Fukuda reflexively straightened his right leg to avoid the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound, but he didn't expect the baseball to fly past his abdomen and thigh, and then fall into the open sleeve of Shuhei Akanaga.
“Nice pitch.“
Grabbing the bat with his right hand and shaking it vigorously, Taro Fukuda re-made the gesture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yusuke Murahashi waved his arm to throw a low-lying ball from the outside corner, and Shuhei Ikenaga stretched out his arm to parallel the ball cover to the sand, quickly scooping up the fallen baseball.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Shuhei Ikenaga opened his sleeve and caught a quick through ball from the middle of the outside corner that Yusuke Murahashi threw over, and the hitter just reacted and was ready to swing the bat.
Taro Fukuda took a step back, then walked back to where he had been, stomping his feet on the sand, and once again making a gesture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Taro Fukuda swung his bat and hit the low ball in the outside corner that Yusuke Murahashi threw with his arm, but unfortunately he didn't aim at the center of the ball, only the top of the bat hit the baseball flying from the pitcher, and it bounced into the sand in the right shot area.
"Smack!"
The pitcher's baseball was knocked down to the sand by the batter, and it turned into a bocce ball that rolled towards second base.
"Shortstop!"
Shortstop Ikuya Araki scurried all the way to the (right) front area of the sand at second base, bent over and stretched his left hand forward to pick up the bouncing baseball, and then stood up as he ran and passed the ball to first base.
"Smack!"
First baseman Yohei Tanaka stepped on the base bag with one foot and stepped forward with the other, raised his hand and spread his sleeve to catch the baseball flying by the shortstop.
“out.“
After the first baseman caught the shortstop's pass, the hitter Fukuda Taro followed closely behind and ran past the base bag of the first base, and the first baseman raised his right hand directly, signaling that the hitter was blocked out by the three guards of the city.
First baseman Yohei Tanaka raised his hand to throw the ball back to Yusuke Murahashi on the pitcher's mound, and shortstop Ikuya Araki smiled and gestured to his teammates around him for an out.
"In the second half of the first inning, Seido High School's attack, second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka-kun."
Yuki Tanaka stepped up to the batting area, grabbed the bat with both hands and waved, then raised his right hand to straighten the batting cap and make a gesture waiting for the strike.
