Chapter 220: Qingdao vs City Three (Forty)
Yusuke Murahashi stepped over the base at second base, looked at the left field, then stepped back to the base bag at second base, and turned to look at home plate after standing.
"In the first half of the eleventh game, the attack of the three major colleges and universities in the city, seven sticks, catcher, Chi Yongjun."
Shuhei Ikeyong walked into the right hitting area with his bat, and after he stepped on the ground in the hitting area with his head down, he grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it forward gently, then leaned it on his shoulder and turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami Yagami raised his right foot, stepped forward, flicked his arm, and threw the baseball in his palm after seeing the batter raise the bat and wait for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Ikenaga Shufu didn't swing his bat at Yagami to throw a bad ball from the outside corner in the low position, and let the catcher's sleeve catch the flying baseball.
Chris got up and tossed the baseball back to Yagami, and the batter next to him waved it with one hand and then leaned the bat on his shoulder and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
This time, the pitcher threw a bad ball in the middle of the outside corner, and Shuhei Ikenaga didn't do anything other than move his gaze to keep an eye on the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“bad shot.“
Chris fell to his knees and raised his hand to throw the baseball back to Yagami.
Yagami reached for Chris's pass, turned and stooped down to pinch the magnesium powder pack on the ground, got up and continued to face home plate, holding the ball behind his back with his left hand, waiting for the hitter to be ready.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Affected by the last two balls, Shuhei Ikenaga continued to face the pitcher's low-post ball from the outside corner, but still did not swing the bat, so that the catcher's bat easily caught the flying baseball.
“good shot.“
After the officiating judge raised his right hand to make the decision, Chris got up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and raised his hand to pass it back to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami reached out to catch the baseball that Chris had passed to him, turned around and pinched the magnesium powder bag on the ground, looked up and nodded at the code that the catcher had compared.
"Whew!"
While the batter was holding the bat high and waiting for the blow, Yagami took a sideways stride, strode forward with his right foot, twisted his waist, tilted the center of gravity of his body forward, and swung the baseball in his hand.
"Smack!"
Because the pitcher still didn't handle the ball properly, the baseball flew out of the pitcher's mound and the ball went lower and lower, and when the baseball flew above home plate, it fell directly on the sand, and then grabbed by the ball sleeve that the hand reached down.
“bad shot.“
Shuhei Ikenaga took a few steps back and walked to the edge of the sand to wait for the referee to clear the home plate, Yagami walked to home plate, reached out to take the baseball from Chris, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound to stand.
After Chris handed the baseball in his hand to Yagami, he gestured to the others with only the last number of outs, so that they didn't have to worry, this game would definitely be able to get three outs in the first half of the eleventh innings without conceding points.
Yagami stooped down to pick up the magnesium powder packet on the ground, pinched it lightly and threw it back to the ground, then turned to look at the hitter next to home plate, and took out the baseball from the cover of his right hand with his left hand and carried it behind him.
"Whew!"
As Shuhei Ikenaga lifted the bat resting on his right shoulder upright and turned his head to stare at him, Yagami stepped forward with his leg raised, waved his left arm, and threw the baseball in his hand towards home plate.
"Bang!"
Chris opened his ball sleeve and grabbed the fast, straight ball from the inside corner that Yagami threw in the low corner, and the hitter couldn't do anything but twist his head and keep his eyes fixed on the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“good shot.“
After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make the decision, Chris got up and threw the baseball back to the pitcher, crouched down again, and compared the new code to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami carried his left hand behind his back, and when the hitter was ready to raise the bat, he flicked his arm and threw the baseball towards home plate according to the code given to him by the catcher.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Shuhei Ikenaga swung his bat and hit the pitcher's mid-low ball out of the air, then shook off the bat in his hand, and ran towards first base while looking up at the baseball that was gradually moving away.
"Smack!"
After the pitcher's pitch was knocked out by the hitter, left fielder Takashi Fujii ran deep into the left field while staring at the baseball speeding from home plate, and finally he knelt on the ground to catch the falling baseball and stretched out the ball sleeve forward, and then fell to the lawn.
"Porphyry!"
When Takashi Fujii fell to the ground, he still lifted the ball cover that caught the baseball upwards so that the referee could make a ruling in time.
“retire.“
After confirming that the hitter was taken out by him, Fujii got up from the ground with both hands, raised his right hand to take off the cap and put it back on, then left the arena with a smile on his face and ran towards his teammates who had already run back to the entrance and exit of the rest area.
"Agui, your catch just now is so beautiful!"
"Damn! You stole the limelight just now. ”
"Fujii-senpai, welcome back."
Except for the players below who are also ready to go on the field, everyone gathered to welcome the return of Takashi Fujii.
……
While the three players were doing their final warm-up before the game on the field, Tetsuya Yuuki, the three-bat hitter, had already walked to the side of the sand at home plate with his bat, holding the bat with both hands and swinging it vigorously while waiting for the command to go to the court.
"In the bottom half of the eleventh inning, the attack of Seido High School, three bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."
Tetsuya Yuuki stopped swinging his bat and walked towards the batting area in front of him, he first swept the ground in the batting area twice with his left foot, then turned the bat with one hand and clenched it with both hands, straightened it up and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Faced with the ball in the middle corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Tetsuya Yuki was not sure of hitting it, causing him to stand still except for moving his gaze, and watched the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound with a blank face speeding in front of him, and then caught in it by the trap's sleeve.
“good shot.“
Seeing this, the presiding judge clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it, deciding that the pitcher's throw was a good ball; The catcher knelt on his left leg and reached out to throw the baseball back to the pitcher; Tetsuya Yuuki took two steps back, raised the bat with one hand and swung it up and down, then walked back to his original position and turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, flicked the bat and raised it up again, waiting for Manaka to throw the ball.
"Whew!"
"Bang!".
Perhaps because he tasted the sweetness of the previous ball, catcher Shuhei Ikenaga asked the pitcher for a ball in a low position in the inside corner, and the hitter still didn't swing the bat for some reason and hit the baseball thrown by Manaka.
“good shot.“ The referee raised his right hand again and ruled that the pitcher's second pitch was still a good shot.
