Chapter 197: Qingdao vs City Three (Seventeen)

"In the second half of the fifth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a shortstop, Fukuda-kun."

After the city's three major shooting warm-ups, the hitter Taro Mofukuda stepped into the hitting area, waved his bat, and directly made a gesture of waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Taro Fukuda was about to swing his arm at the low ball in the outside corner, and he was just about to swing his bat to strike, but the baseball flying from the pitcher Mound had already been caught in the open sleeve of the arrester Shuhei Jackaga.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Taro Fukuda hurriedly straightened his legs to avoid the baseball that flew towards his calf.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Taro Fukuda swung his bat and hit the ball in the middle corner that Manaka was about to throw his arm over, and slammed it into the field of infield.

"Smack!"

After the pitcher's baseball is hit by the batter's swing, it soars into the sky and is a high-flying ball that hurts towards the outfield.

Nakamidfielder Kazutoku Tanaka stared at the baseball flying from home plate as he ran, then ran to the spot where the baseball fell and reached out to catch it, and took the hitter Taro Fukuda out.

Taro Fukuda ran back from first base, took the next baseball from Yuki Tanaka, turned around and ran back to the rest area on the side of third base.

"In the second half of the fifth inning, Seido High School's attack, two bats, second baseman, Tanaka-kun."

Yuki Tanaka stepped into the batting area to the sound of the announcement, holding the bat with both hands and waving it, assuming a posture of waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

In the face of the ball that Manaka was about to throw with his arm and the ball was overly outward, Yuki Tanaka naturally did not swing his bat to strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Manaka was about to swing his arm to throw a ball that didn't look like a good ball, moving diagonally from the center of the outside corner to the low position area of the inside corner, and when the hitter Yuki Tanaka realized that something was wrong, it was too late to swing the bat, and the catcher's ball sleeve successfully caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.

“good shot.“

Ikeyong Shuhei got up and threw the baseball back to the pitcher, Manaka wanted to open the case to take the baseball passed back to him by the senior, and then took the baseball out of the sleeve after raising his hand to straighten the cap, waiting for the catcher to give his code.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Manaka wanted to swing his arm and throw a bad ball in the inside corner of the corner, but the hitter Yuki Tanaka did not swing the bat.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Manaka threw another low ball from the outside corner that looked like a bad ball, but the hitter Yuki Tanaka still didn't swing the bat.

“Nice pitch.“

Yuki Tanaka turned away from the batting area and moved his hands and feet outside before re-entering the batting area and standing for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Yuki Tanaka hit the inside corner high ball that Manaka was about to throw his arm over, and after hitting the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he immediately threw off his bat and ran to first base.

"Smack!"

The baseball that was knocked away by the batter fell in front of the pitcher who ran from the pitcher's mound, and landed in the infield area near the infield, and rolled all the way to the infield.

Kenta Sato, the second baseman, ran over, reached out and scooped up the baseball that rolled from the front, and then raised his hand to throw the baseball he received towards first base.

"Smack!"

"Porphyry!"

When the first baseman Yohei Tanaka stretched out his left hand as far as possible to open the ball sleeve to receive the pass from the second baseman, the hitter Yuki Tanaka also happened to step on the first base's base bag, and in this situation where it was difficult for the referee to make a decision immediately, the baseball passed by Kenta Sato was not closed in time because Tanaka Yohei did not close the sleeve in time, causing the flying baseball to be collided immediately after rushing into the first baseman's sleeve, falling on the sand and rolling out.

“hits.“ Seeing this, the first base judge immediately raised his hands to signal the batter to complete a hit.

"It's thrilling!"

Yuki Tanaka walked to the first base bag and took off his batting gloves while looking at the three major people gathered on the pitcher's mound to encourage and cheer each other on.

"In the second half of the fifth inning, the attack of Seido High School, one bat, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Manaka looked at Tetsuya Yuuki, who was in a position to be played in the batting area, and then followed the catcher's code, raised his legs, flicked his arms, and swung the baseball in his palm towards home plate.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Faced with the low-position ball in the inside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Tetsuya Yuki did not want to swing the bat at all except to move his eyes and keep an eye on the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.

“bad shot.“

Tetsuya Yuuki held the bat in both hands and swung it, then held it up vertically and made a gesture waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Manaka was about to swing his arm again and throw a ball from the middle of the outside corner, and Tetsuya Yuuki still had no idea of swinging his bat.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Faced with pitcher Manaka about to swing his arm to throw the ball in the low position of the outside corner, hitter Tetsuya Yuuki did not swing the bat to strike.

“good shot.“

Manaka was about to raise his hand to receive the baseball passed back to him by his senior, and Tetsuya Yuki on the opposite side grabbed the bat with one hand and swung it vigorously, then made a posture of waiting for the blow again.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Tetsuya Yuuki swings his bat and hits the inside corner high ball that Manaka is about to throw his arm, and the baseball bounces off the sand in front of home plate in a collision with a metal bat, and then flies towards second base.

Manaka on the pitcher's mound had to look at the baseball coming from home plate, and he couldn't reach out to catch it, because the baseball flew over home plate so high that he just reached out to catch it, even if he could run and jump, he might not be able to catch it.

Shortstop Ikuya Araki quickly ran to the base bag at second base and waited for the flying baseball to fall, but the runner Yuki Tanaka's base was the first to let his foot touch the base bag at second base, and the flying baseball fell from mid-air and was caught by his left hand that reached up.

“safe.“ The second base judge ran over and raised his hands to signal the runner to get to base safely.

“Run.“ As runner Chris strides across home plate, the referee signals for the attacking team to score.

After Chris and Senior Dong, who was on the field, high-fived each other, ran back to the rest area on the side of third base amid the cheers of his teammates, and then reached out and clapped his hands with his teammates who were waiting outside the rest area, and walked into the rest area.

"In the bottom half of the fifth inning, Seido High School's attack, four bats, third baseman, Dongjun."

After the sound of the women's radio sounded, Dong Qingguo stopped swinging the bat, stepped into the batting area and stood still, assuming a posture of waiting for the blow.
