Chapter 206 Qingdao vs City Three (Twenty-six)
After seeing the left fielder fly the baseball to second base, Takashi Fujii found it difficult to run to second base before the shortstop received the pass, so he had to turn around and run back to first base.
After that, just as the left fielder Ryu Miyai gestured to his teammates around him for an out, the voice of the female announcer rang out: "In the second half of the seventh inning, the attack of Seido High School, eight bats, catcher, Takigawa-kun." ”
Chris walked into the batting area and flicked the bat in front of him with his left hand, then grabbed the bat with both hands, leaned it on his right shoulder and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
For the outside corner high ball that Manaka throws with his arm swing at the pitcher's mound, Chris naturally does not shoot this kind of bad ball that is obviously too high.
The catcher raises his hand to pass the baseball back to the pitcher, and the hitter walks around the hitting area before raising the bat and waiting for the strike again.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“good shot.“
Chris looked down at the pitcher's low-lying ball from the outside corner and didn't swing the bat to strike.
Once he was back on his feet, he grabbed the bat in his left hand and swung it, then raised it high in the air and waited for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Faced with a low ball from the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw over, he missed the swing.
“good shot.“ The presiding judge raised his right hand and handed down his verdict.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Keyong Shuhei got up to catch the bad ball from the pitcher's inside corner high position, and then took the baseball out of the sleeve with his right hand and threw it back to the pitcher.
After receiving the baseball that Senior Chi Yong passed back to him, Manaka bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, then raised his head to look at the code that Senior Chi Yong compared to him, nodded and suddenly threw the ball to first base.
"Smack!"
By the time first baseman Yohei Tanaka opened his sleeve to grab the pitcher's pass, runner Takashi Fujii had already stretched out his left foot and stepped on the first base.
Manaka reached out and took the baseball that Principal Tanaka had thrown back to him, and then refocused on home plate.
"Steal the base!"
After discovering that the runner had stolen the base, Manaka had to throw a high ball from the outside corner before he had time to change his stance, and then crouched on the ground.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Shuhei Ikenaga immediately got up to catch the baseball thrown by the pitcher, and then waved it to second base, trying to touch the runner who tried to steal the base.
Ikuru Araki, a shortstop who was running quickly, caught the baseball from the catcher, and at the same time reached for the second base bag next to him, his left hand holding the baseball was also reaching for the base bag and touching the runner's left foot that slid sideways.
“stolen bases.“
After careful observation by him, the second base judge who ran over raised his hands to signal that the runner had successfully stolen the base.
It turned out that when the shortstop held the baseball holster touched the runner's calf, his left leg reached a little distance behind the side of the base bag, but when he touched the base bag with his left foot forward, the runner quickly slid his left foot onto the base bag at second base, making his touch ineffective.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Chris swung his bat and sent the outside corner ball to the inside near second base, then immediately dropped his bat and stared at the flying baseball as he raced towards first base.
"Smack!"
Shortstop Ikuku Araki stared at the baseball flying from home plate, jumped with his legs, and raised his left hand up to touch the flying baseball with the fingers of the ball sleeve, causing it to change its original flight trajectory and fall on the lawn of the left field while unable to fly into the middle field.
When left fielder Ryu Miyai rushed out from the depths of the left field and reached out to pick up the baseball that had rolled over, runner Takashi Fujii just stepped to the junction of the sand on third base and the infield lawn, and he could not eliminate the runner by passing the ball to third base at this time.
Finally, when the runner was about to step on the third base, Miyai Ryu could only wave his arm to pass the ball to the shortstop Araki Ikuya in front of him.
“first baseman.“
Chris stepped on the first base bag with one foot, reached out and took off the handguard on his arm while looking at home plate, and then handed the batting gloves of the handguard to the player who came to pick up something.
After a timeout from the city's three major cities, Kotaro Tojima stepped into the batting area and stood still, his hands drooping, and he waved his bat in his hand before making a gesture waiting for the strike.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Manaka wants to swing a bad ball from the outside corner that hits the ground in a low position, and the hitter Kotaro Tojima takes a few steps back after realizing that the pitcher is throwing a bad ball, and after moving, he walks back to the hitting area and stands.
He waved the bat in his hand and held the bat directly to make a gesture of preparing for a short fight.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Kotaro Tojima held a short stick and tried to point the pitcher's ball from the inside corner, but when he realized that the pitcher had thrown a bad ball that flew towards the hitter's head and couldn't hit it, he immediately withdrew his baseball backwards.
“good shot.“
The referee raised his right hand to signal that the batter had swung the bat, and the pitcher's throw turned from a bad ball to a good one.
On the pitcher's mound, Manaka had to throw a ball at third base with the interference of a runner before returning his attention to home plate.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Manaka has to swing his arm and throw a bad ball from the outside corner that is obviously out of the box to adjust his condition.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
After a bad ball in the middle of the outside corner, Manaka has to swing his arm and throw a low ball in the inside corner that the catcher can only catch if he has a ball sleeve on the ground. In addition, as they thought, the hitter Kotaro Tojima was successfully deceived by such a ball, and his swing failed.
“good shot.“
After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Kotaro Tojima took a few steps back, then walked back to the hitting area, swept the ground with his left foot, lowered his hands and swung the bat tightly, and finally changed his stance and swung the bat in his hand in the direction of the pitcher's mound, assuming a position of waiting for the strike.
At the same time, the pitcher on the pitcher's mound was once again influenced by the runner to throw two balls at third base, then wiped the sweat from his forehead and cheeks with his sleeve before re-projecting his gaze to the batter next to home plate.
"Whew!"
"Ding!"
After Kotaro Tojima held a short bat and spotted the inside corner high ball that Manaka was about to throw, the baseball bounced off the sand next to home plate and then bounced onto the infield lawn next to the sand.
Fujii at third base was hurtling back to home plate, and he shook off his bat and ran towards first base.
Catcher Ikeyong Shuhei got up and ran over, reached out and grabbed the baseball bouncing off the lawn, but unfortunately he didn't grasp it, and let the baseball in his hand slide out and fall back on the lawn, rolling out of the sideline of the infield.
“out.“。
Seeing this, the chief judge raised his hands upwards to signal Takashi Fujii, a runner who had already run through home plate, to return to third base, and this time the return to base was invalid. In addition, the batter Kotaro Tojima, who had already run to first base, had already been eliminated, and he was told to leave the field as soon as possible so that the next batter could hit the game.
In the end, Kotaro Tojima had to leave first base in a daze, take the bat handed to him, and trot back to the rest area on the side of first base.
