Chapter 217: Qingdao vs City Three (Thirty-Seven)
Yagami grabbed the bat with both hands and flung it forward, turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, and rested the bat on his right shoulder to wait for the pitcher's pitch.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Yagami aimed at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, swung the bat out hard, and slammed the low-lying ball from the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw.
"Crossing hits in the middle direction?" The commentator looked at the baseball that was knocked out by the beater, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"Porphyry!"
Nakamidfielder Kazutoku Tanaka ran out from the right, and immediately pounced on the baseball coming from home plate when he saw that it was about to land, but unfortunately it didn't save, and the baseball flying from home plate landed smoothly on his right hand, bouncing towards the outfield sideline and even the home run wall.
"Oh! It looks like it's going to be a second-run hit. The live announcer looked at the changes in the situation on the field and said in a somewhat excited tone.
By the time he said this, the batter Yagami had already run past first base and was flying towards second base.
"Smack!"
Left fielder Ryu Miyai, who ran from left to right, finally managed to intercept the baseball bouncing from the fallen fielder in front of the sideline of the outfielder, but when he swung the ball to second base, Yagami Ye just ran up to second base.
“second baseman.“
After getting the decision of safe base at second base, Yagami Ye stepped on the base bag at second base with both feet, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upward, and his teammates in the rest area showed that he had safely hit base.
"In the second half of the tenth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a shortstop, Fukuda-kun."
Yagami watched as Senior Fukuda stepped back to the edge of the sand on second base, bent over and put his hands on his knees, ready to decide whether or not to steal the base according to the situation of home plate.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Faced with the ball in the middle corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Taro Fukuda focused his eyes on the flying baseball and turned inward (towards the catcher) to avoid being touched by the flying baseball, and finally let the catcher's sleeve catch the flying baseball smoothly.
“good shot.“ The presiding judge raised his right hand and signaled that the ball was good.
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 held the bat with both hands and waved it, then leaned the bat on his shoulder and turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Taro Fukuda, who swung his bat, hit a low-lying ball from the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound fell underneath in a collision with a metal bat and was bounced out.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that the batter had not traveled far before it had already gone beyond the infield sideline on the third base side and then fell on the turf.
After the catcher threw the baseball back to the pitcher, Taro Fukuda, who was next to him, waved the bat, then rested the bat on his shoulder again and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Manaka was about to swing his arm to throw a baseball that fell diagonally from a low position in the outside corner, and Shuhei Ikenaga's sleeve quickly moved downward, and finally finally held the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound as he approached the ground.
“bad shot.“
Taro Fukuda took the bat with one hand and shook it under him first, then turned it around and straightened it upright, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, according to Ikenaga's ball matching habits, the next ball is likely to be an outside corner, and he likes to continue to let the pitcher throw a ball at a similar angle where he threw a bad ball before.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
Manaka wants to swing his arm to throw a mid-position ball that moves laterally from the inside corner to the outside corner, and hits it directly after the target is aimed.
"Ping!"
After the flying baseball was swung into the left field, Taro Fukuda sprinted from the left zone to first base while looking up at the baseball that was fading away.
"Smack!"
"Porphyry!"
Left fielder Ryu Miyai ran from right to left while staring up at the baseball speeding from home plate. When he saw the baseball flying upside down from home plate about to land, he immediately pounced, but unfortunately it didn't, and the baseball just hit the turf and bounced deep into the left field just before he flew over.
Ryu Miyai got up from the ground and chased the baseball that was rolling towards the home plate wall, and behind him was a third-base judge with his hands raised.
Ryu Miyai eventually bent down to pick up the baseball when it rolled to the outfield sideline, while runner Yagami had already run past third base and was scurrying back to home plate.
“Run.“
Yagami waved his right hand and ran over the home plate, then continued to run forward, and when he reached the edge of the sand of home plate, his teammates who were running up from the rest area and were about to pick up the bat gave each other a high-five.
"Smack!"
"Bump!"
After receiving a pass from left fielder Miyai, third baseman Takahiro Ohmae was about to adjust his stance to avoid the hitter who was rushing towards third base, but the hitter Taro Fukuda rushed over and knocked him to the ground.
“out.“
Seeing this, the third base judge first raised his right hand to signal that the hitter was blocked, then turned around and raised his hands upwards and opened his palms to signal to others that there was no accident and the game continued.
After doing all this, the third base judge pulled Taro Fukuda aside and warned or educated him, so that he could not do such a dangerous thing in the future, if such a thing happened again in the future, it was very likely to cause irreparable damage to others and himself.
On the other side, Yagami raised his right hand to high-five his teammates waiting outside the rest area when he left the field and ran back to the rest area on the first base.
"In the bottom half of the tenth inning, Seido High School's attack, second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka-kun."
Yuki Tanaka stepped into the batting area amid the loud singing of the support group in the stands. He shook the bat with his hands down, then lifted the bat up and spun it around his chest twice, turning his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound waiting to be pitched.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Faced with the low-position ball in the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Yuki Tanaka just swung the metal bat in his hand out, and found that it was a bad ball with a low path and quickly stopped swinging the bat, allowing the catcher's ball cover to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound near the sand.
“good shot.“ Because the batter was about to sweep past home plate, the referee raised his right hand and decided that the ball was good.
Yuki Tanaka turned and walked around the edge of the sand, while Shuhei Ikenaga got up and threw the baseball back to the pitcher.
The batter walks back to his original position and stands, grabs the bat with both hands and waves it underneath him, turns his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, and then holds the bat upright in his hand and waits for the pitcher to deliver.
