Chapter 208: Qingdao vs City Three (Twenty-Eight)
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
In the face of Jinguji's swing of his arm to throw the ball from the outside corner, because the ball path was a little out, the hitter Kenta Sato did not swing the bat, except for letting his eyes follow the baseball thrown by the pitcher.
“good shot.“ The referee clenched his fist and raised his right hand to determine that the pitcher had made a good throw.
Chris got up and passed the baseball back to the pitcher, and the hitter next to him turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound, while swinging the bat vigorously under him with his left hand, and then held the bat high with both hands, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji waved his arm and threw a ball that was slightly low, just sliding out of the outside corner of the good ball area and hurting the ball, and the hitter Kenta Sato did not make any unnecessary moves except for changing his gaze.
“bad shot.“
Chris got up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and threw it back to the Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
After the hitter reassumed the position of waiting for the blow, Jinguji raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm at the baseball in his hand.
"Ping!"
Kenta Sato leaned forward and raised the bat flat, allowing the pitcher's mid-high ball to hit the metal bat directly and fly straight to the stands on first base before it fell.
"Out of bounds!"
Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, stopped and watched the baseball fall on the stands after the baseball flew out of the infield sideline in front of first base.
After the hitter Kenta Sato regained his footing on the batting area, he swung his bat vigorously with both hands while turning his head to look at the pitcher's mound and waiting for the pitcher's pitcher.
At the same time, catcher Chris was moving his feet outwards and crouching behind the side of home plate, his left heel barely in line with the edge of home plate, so to speak, the pitcher wanted to throw a ball that landed low in the outside corner close to the edge of the good zone.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Unfortunately, the end result was a wave of his arm that threw a straight ball that flew towards the catcher's right knee, and then Chris quickly moved the ball in front of the right knee.
Chris took the baseball out of his case, got up and tossed it back to the pitcher's mound, crouched down again, and gave him a signal that he wanted him to shoot a low ball in the corner.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
The baseball thrown by Jinguji with a wave of his arm changed so slowly that when the baseball was about to fall diagonally in the middle of the outer corner, it was hit by the batter swinging and bounced backwards in the direction of the pitcher's mound.
Jingujiichi saw that the baseball he threw was hit by the beater's swing, and hurriedly stretched out his left hand to the right to catch the baseball flying upside down, but unfortunately he didn't succeed in letting the flying baseball fall on the lawn behind him, and then rolled smoothly all the way over the unguarded second base at this time, and rolled into the middle and middle field area.
By the time Nakatsu Daiki, a kakamidfielder who had come running from behind, was in a crouching position and stretched out his left hand to catch the rolling baseball, runner Takahiro Ohmae had already reached the position where he was only one big stride away from the second base sand.
“first baseman.“
When Daiki Murasuke got up and was about to wave his arm to pass the ball to second base, Takahiro Ohmae stepped on the base bag at second base for the last leg lift; After he flew the baseball in his hand, Takahiro Ohmae just stepped on the base bag, and then took two more steps forward due to inertia.
Kenta Sato saw shortstop Taro Fukuda raise his hand to catch a pass from Nakamofielder Daiki Murasuke, turned around and walked back to the base bag at first base, then bent down to take off the leg guards on his ankles, followed by the batting gloves on his hands, and finally handed them to the team members who came to get their things.
After Chris finished talking with the seniors of Jinguji Temple and turned to leave the pitcher's mound, the voice of the female announcer rang out: "In the first half of the ninth inning, the attack of the three major colleges and universities in the city, four bats, first baseman, Tanaka (Yoshi)-kun." ”
Yohei Tanaka stood outside the batting area, holding the bat in his right hand, spinning it like a windmill quickly, and then grabbing the bat with both hands and swinging wildly above his head.
After doing all of this, Tanaka stepped into the batting area, first swept the ground with his left foot down, and then raised his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Yohei Tanaka, the hitter, found that the pitcher threw a bad ball in the outside corner that was obviously too low at first glance, and directly let the baseball thrown by the pitcher fly in front of him.
“bad shot.“
After the catcher's case catches the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, the batter directly changes the way he holds the bat, grabs the end of the bat with his right hand, grabs the tip of the bat with his left hand and places it on his abdomen, and then stands on the batting area and turns around to look around.
Jingujiichi bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him after receiving the catcher's pass, and then raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his cheeks with his sleeve.
"Whew!"
"Smack!"
Jinguji turned around and threw a baseball in the palm of his hand at second base to avoid letting runner Takahiro Ohmae get too far from base, which could lead to the possibility of stolen base.
Jingu Teraichi nodded at the code from catcher Chris after receiving the pass from the second baseman, and then another ball flew towards second base, but unfortunately there was no other role than making the runner Takahiro Ohmae dare not go too far from the base.
After throwing another pinning ball at first base, Jinguji returned his attention to the hitter next to home plate, raised his legs and stride, danced his arms, and the white baseball flew out of the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Instead of swinging his bat at the low ball in the inside corner, Yohei Tanaka bent down and pushed his ass back to avoid the baseball that seemed to be speeding towards his thigh.
“good shot.“ The referee clenched his fist and raised his right hand to determine the pitcher's ball as good.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
"Bump!"
In order to avoid the pitcher's inward angle of the ball, Tanaka bent his legs forward, fell backwards, and then lay on the ground.
“bad shot.“
Chris raised his hand to pass the baseball he had just received back to Jinguji senior, and at the same time, the chief judge walked up to the beater's side and asked if he was injured as a result.
Yohei Tanaka shook his head, got up from the sand with his bat, and then moved his hands and feet around the hitting area before walking to the hitting area to get back on his feet.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Yohei Tanaka directly swung his stick and hit the high position in the middle of the Jinguji throwing it into the air.
After hitting the pitcher's baseball with his own swing, Yohei Tanaka looked up at the baseball flying high and immediately realized that something was wrong.
It turned out that the catcher next to him flew high after seeing the baseball thrown by the pitcher being hit by the batter's swing, and immediately reached out to remove the mask from his face, and while looking up at the baseball in mid-air, he ran towards the right side.
