Chapter 188: Qingdao vs City Three (8)
"In the second half of the second game, Seido High School's attack, six bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun."
After standing still on the batting area, Takashi Fujii took a position directly waiting for the strike.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Takashi Fujii swung his bat into the high corner of the inside corner thrown by Yusuke Murahashi's arm and sent it flying hard in the direction of the left field.
"Out of bounds!"
After the baseball is hit by the hitter, it flies from home plate into the left field area, and then continues to deviate from its original trajectory until it flies over the sideline on the third base side and hits the turf, then rolls back into the left field area.
Takashi Fujii carried his bat back to the batting area, and waved it with his hands down, resuming his posture of waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Faced with the low ball in the inside corner thrown by Yusuke Murahashi's arm, Takayo Fujii reacted and was about to swing the bat, when the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was successfully caught by the arrester's sleeve.
"Whew!"
Yusuke Murahashi nodded when he saw the catcher's code, raised his leg and stepped forward, and threw the baseball in his hand towards home plate.
"Ping!"
Takashi Fujii swung the bad ball into the outside corner of the pitcher's throw, causing it to fall into the sand in the left zone, and then bounced high in the direction of the pitcher's mound.
"Village Bridge!" Shuhei Ikenaga didn't expect that the ball that was used to trick the hitter into swinging the bat would be hit by Fujii's swing.
Yusuke Murahashi saw a baseball bouncing off home plate and jumped hard to catch the baseball flying over the pitcher's mound, but unfortunately failed and turned around to chase the baseball that rolled over to second base.
By the time Yusuke Murahashi reached out to pick up the baseball that was rolling past and passed the ball to first base, the hitter Takashi Fujii was about to run to the base at first base.
“safe.“
When first baseman Yohei Tanaka reached out to catch the pitcher's pass, Takashi Fujii just stepped on the first base's base bag quickly. Runner Daiki Murasuke at third base also sprinted back to home plate to score the first point of the game for Aomichi, albeit with an increase in outs.
"In the second half of the second game, Seido High School's attack, seven sticks, right fielder, Izaki-kun."
After the city's timeout, Jun Izagiki stepped into the batting area to the sound of the announcement, swung his bat, and directly showed that he must knock the ball out and wait for the pitcher to pitch.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Jun Izakiki swung his bat and hit an outside corner thrown by pitcher Yusuke Murahashi's arm, sending the incoming baseball flying high into the sky in a fierce collision.
"Right outfield!"
Right fielder Shinhei Ohara, who was shooting a baseball thrown by a pitcher, stepped back into the right field while staring at the baseball that was flying backwards from home plate.
"Smack!"
Standing on the sideline, Shinhei Ohara reached for the fallen baseball and knocked out the hitter Jun Izagiki.
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
In the first half of the third inning, after the hitter Yohei Tanaka stood in the left hitting area, Jinguji raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw the baseball in his hand.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Yoshihiro Tanaka didn't swing the pitcher's bad ball from the outside corner from the high position, allowing the catcher's ball sleeve to catch the flying baseball into it without hindrance.
“ball.“
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
In the face of Jinguji's swing of his arm in the middle of the outside corner, Yohei Tanaka still did not swing the bat.
"Whew!"
In the face of the pitcher's low ball in the corner, Yohei Tanaka was sure that Jinguji had not adjusted his current state and remained in the same posture of waiting for the strike.
"Bang!"
Chris spreads his ball sleeve and grabs the baseball thrown by Jinguji senior.
“ball.“
The presiding judge continued to speak up and make his own verdict.
"Whew!"
Jinguji nodded when he saw the code from Chrisby, stepped up his leg, and swung his arm towards home plate to throw an inside corner ball.
"Bang!"
Yohei Tanaka, who hit the batter for some reason, still didn't swing the bat, and Chris shifted the ball sleeve inward to grab the baseball that Jinguji senior threw with his waving arm.
“Nice pitch.“
Chris knelt on the ground with his left foot, took out the baseball from the ball sleeve with his right hand and passed it back to Jinguji senior.
Jinguji raised his left hand to take the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, and then turned his head to look at the home plate.
When he saw the catcher place the ball sleeve against the batter's abdomen, he knew that Chris wanted to keep the batter on base with four bad balls, and he didn't want to waste any more balls to get tangled with Yohei Tanaka. Of course, if Yohei Tanaka wants to swing a baton to strike, then they are also very happy, after all, who would not want to earn a number of outs for nothing.
"Whew!"
Thinking of this, Jinguji nodded slightly, then raised his leg and stepped forward, swinging the baseball in his hand towards home plate.
"Bang!"
Tanaka pushed back and bent down to dodge the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound, allowing it to sprint into the holster that Chris had already placed there.
After being escorted by the four bads, Yohei Tanaka spun his backhand and rushed to first base with his bat.
Yohei Tanaka, who ran to first base, bowed his head and took off the knee pads on his ankles amid the shouts of the cheering group in the stands, then the batting gloves on his hands, and finally handed them to the players who came to get their things.
"In the first half of the second game, the attack of the three major colleges and universities in the city, five sticks, the middle fielder, Tanaka (one) kun."
After the batter raised his bat in the right strike area and waited for the strike, Jinguji raised his leg and stepped forward, and threw the baseball in his palm hard.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with a high ball from the outside corner thrown by Jinguji with a wave of his arm, Kazutoku Tanaka stopped his swing in time to avoid turning the bad ball into a good ball.
Chris got up and flung the ball back to Jinguji Senpai, while Kazutoku Tanaka, who was next to him, swung his bat and got back on his feet in the hitting area.
"Whew!"
"Ding!"
Kazutoku Tanaka swung Jinguji with a short bat and the ball was spotted high in the inside corner.
"Smack!"
The flying baseball was hit by the batter's bat and fell to the sand, and then rolled in the direction of first base, but it didn't expect that first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki, hitter Kazutoku Tanaka, pitcher Jingu Teruichi and catcher Chris were outflanking it in different directions.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball was only about halfway from home plate to first base, and the sideline that rolled out of the infield was picked up by Tetsuya Yuuki who walked by, and then raised his hand to pass it to Jingu Teruichi next to him. At the same time, the chief judge behind him also walked over, spread his hands and raised them upwards to make his own judgment.
Kazutoku Tanaka walked back to home plate and waited for the referee to sort out the sidelines and home plate in the batting area before re-entering the batting area and raising his bat to wait for the strike again.
On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji throws a ball at first base to prevent the runner from getting too far from base, and only after picking up the baseball from the first baseman that he just threw it before returning his attention to the hitter Kazutoku Tanaka next to home plate.
