Chapter 203: Qingdao vs City Three (Twenty-Three)

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Faced with the low ball in the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Yumura Tanaka was indifferent, and he didn't have the slightest idea of swinging the bat to strike.

Yuki Tanaka lowered his hands and swung his bat parallel to the top of home plate while waiting for the pitcher to deliver.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

It was a bad ball that landed low in the inside corner of the sleeve on the ground, and the hitter still didn't swing the bat.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Yuki Tanaka swings his bat and knocks the pitcher's mid-low ball flying.

"Whew!"

It was a low-flying ball that flew deep into the right field, and first baseman Yohei Tanaka jumped forward to catch the flying baseball, but unfortunately he didn't succeed, and could only watch the baseball fly towards the right field.

"Smack!"

The baseball that flew from home plate flew to the point near the club before falling on the lawn, and then was caught by the right fielder Ohara Shinpei, who rushed over, and then stopped because of inertia until he ran over the sideline, and raised his hand to throw the baseball he had just received to the second baseman behind the second base side.

“second baseman.“

Unfortunately, when second baseman Kenta Sato received the pass from the right fielder and was about to pass the received baseball to the shortstop Ikuya Araki who was staying on second base, the hitter Yuki Tanaka had already run to second base.

"In the bottom half of the seventh inning, Seido High School's attack, three bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Tetsuya Yuki stepped into the hitting area, swept the ground with his right foot, stepped on it vigorously, and finally grabbed the bat with one hand and waved it, assuming a position of waiting for the blow.

On the other side, he threw a ball at second base and forced the runner not to go too far from base before returning his attention to home plate.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Faced with the bad ball in the high position of the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Tetsuya Yuki did not swing the bat.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Tetsuya Yuuki swings his bat and knocks the pitcher's outside corner mid-position ball flying, and it's a throw-in that flies off the touchline of the infield (third base).

Tetsuya Yuuki grabbed the ends of the bat with his left and right hands and lifted the bat, stretched and then regained his position on the batting area, swinging the bat and holding it upright, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which moves laterally from the high inside corner to the high center position, is hit by the batter's swing, causing the baseball to fly upside down in the direction of the left field.

"Shortstop, left fielder!"

Shortstop Ikuya Araki jumped up with both feet, his left hand reaching forward to grab the baseball flying in front of him, but no one managed to get it into the left field.

"Smack!"

After hitting the lawn in the right field, the baseball flying from home plate rolled diagonally towards the outfield area, and was picked up by Yusuke Murahashi, the left fielder who rushed over, in a crouching position.

“retire.“

Tetsuya Yuuki stopped when he saw that the left fielder had already scooped up the baseball he had hit, began to take off his protective gear and batting gloves, and then reached out to hand the player who came to get something.

As soon as the game was out and there were people on first and third base, the Tahara supervisor of the city's three major cities asked the chief judge for a timeout, and sent a herald to gather the catcher and a group of infielders on the pitcher's mound to discuss the next tactics.

"In the bottom half of the seventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, four bats, third baseman, Dongjun."

At the end of the timeout, when the pitchers and catchers of the city's three major players seized the last time to prepare for the pitch, Dong Qingguo, the four batters of Qingdao, stepped into the batting area amid the sound of the announcement.

After the hitter is ready, Manaka has to follow the request of Senior Ikenaga to fly the baseball in his palm to home plate.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

Faced with the low position of the outside corner of the ball that Manaka was about to swing his arm to throw the ball outside, Dong Qingguo did not swing the bat to strike.

Dong Qingguo turned his head to look at the rest area on the third base side, and then regained his footing on the batting area, waved the bat with one hand, and raised the bat vertically to make a gesture of waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

This time, it was a bad ball in the low corner of the outside corner with a low pitch, and the player kept the original action unchanged without the slightest intention of swinging the bat.

After receiving the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, Manaka suddenly waved his arm to first base to touch the runner, and the runner Tetsuya Yuki stepped directly to base to avoid being eliminated from the game.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Manaka's swing to throw the ball in the middle of the outside corner was caught by the ball sleeve erected inwards by Shuhei Ikeinaga, and the hitter Dong Kiyokuni did not swing the bat to strike when he thought it was still a bad ball.

“Nice pitch.“

After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Ji Yong Shuhei got up and took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and threw it back to the pitcher, and the hitter next to him, Dong Qingguo, shook the bat in his hand, continued to hold the bat high, turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound and waited for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Dong Qingguo swung his bat and hit the pitcher's inside corner ball, but unfortunately it was a throw-in that flew to the stands on third base.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Smack!"

Shuhei Ikenaga's holster was about to touch the ground when he caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and of course, the low ball in the outside corner that fell in front of the bat also made Dong Kiyokook's swing miss.

Finger fork ball?!

Dong Qingguo, who came to the left hit area because he used too much force when swinging the bat, just stood on his feet, and he knew what was going on with the ball just now.

When Dong Qingguo left the field with his bat, the voice of the female radio rang out: "In the second half of the seventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, Chinese and foreign fielders, Murasuke-kun." ”

After walking from the waiting area to the batting area, Murasuke shook the bat in his hand and held it high again, making a gesture of waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“good shot.“

Faced with the outside corner ball that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Murasuke Daiki did not change his original posture to swing the bat, except for moving his eyes to observe the baseball thrown by the pitcher.

Murasuke swept the ground with his feet, grabbed the bat with one hand and spun it four times in front of him, then raised it upright, and once again made a gesture waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“。

The pitcher was about to swing his arm and throw a ball that was about the same as the previous one, but because his handling of the ball was not as good as the previous ball, he threw a bad ball that was wide and high.

Murasuke kicked the ground with his right foot and then knocked on the sand in front of home plate with the bat in his hand; After reaching out to straighten his belt, he grabbed the bat and swung it vigorously from side to side; Once you've done that, continue to hold your bat high and wait for the strike.
