The six days passed quickly, and during this time, in addition to their daily training, the Seido people would collect materials from Kiryu's previous competitions at the Osaka tournament and use them for more detailed research.

On the evening of August 11, Superintendent Kataoka began announcing the starting lineup for the second round.

To Yagami's surprise, not only was he not the starting pitcher, but even the subsequent substitute superintendent Kataoka didn't think of letting him play.

After Superintendent Kataoka reported the starting candidates, he made a special request to Koichiro Tanba next to him, asking him to remember to warm up after the start of the game, and he might be arranged to pitch in the second match tomorrow.

The next day, because the Seido vs. Kiryu match was the fourth, the expected start time was 16:30 p.m., which also caused the Seido players to take a school bus to Hanshin Koshien at 15:45 p.m. after a lunch break.

The Seido people arrived at Hanshin Koshien and checked in with the staff, and the third game of the day had just ended, so it can be said that they came at a very accurate time.

"Let's go, it's our turn." Dong Qingguo took the lead in the entrance passage with a backpack on his back, and the others followed behind and also walked into the entrance passage of the players.

The two teams that had just finished the game quickly finished exiting, and the Qingdao players put their belongings in the rest area on the side of first base and began to go out to warm up.

In this match against Kiryu, Seichi attacked first, and Superintendent Kataoka called the nine people who came on as starters together for a pre-match meeting.

It was 16:28 p.m., and the Seongdo and Kiryu players were each lined up on the edge of the field, and then rushed to home plate together, took off their hats, bowed their heads, and bowed, after which the Seongdo players scattered and ran back to their rest area; Kiryu's players also dispersed and headed to their positions for a final warm-up.

"In the first half of the first game, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a guerrilla, Fukuda-kun." At 16:30 p.m., the voice of the female radio began to be broadcast again.

Taro Fukuda stepped up to the left-hand zone, turned his head to look at Hiromi Kan on the pitcher's mound, waved the bat in front of him with his right hand, and then held the bat with both hands and rested it on his shoulder.

"Buzz-" At 16:31 p.m., with the sound of air defense sirens, the game officially began.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Hiromi Tate's arm swings an inside corner ball with a speed of less than 135km/h, but just as the hitter Taro Fukuda reacts and is about to swing the bat, he catches it with the open ball sleeve of the victim Yamada Okada.

“good shot.“

After the referee raised his right hand to make the decision, Okada stood up and took the baseball from his holster with his right hand and threw it back to the pitcher.

Kan Hiromi opened the ball cover to catch the baseball that the catcher passed back to him, then bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, raised his head, and looked directly at the hitter next to home plate, waiting for the catcher's code.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

In the face of the inside corner mid-position ball thrown by Hiromi Tate, the hitter Taro Fukuda swung the bat and hit the flying baseball, which was hit by the bat and fell on the sand next to the infield sideline, and then bounced to the infield area in front of him.

"Smack!"

Second baseman Shogo Shogo Shogo Shoshiki knelt on his right leg and stretched his left leg forward to look like a right triangle, then placed the ball cover on his abdomen to catch the bounced baseball.

"Boom!"

Second baseman Shogo Yoshiki wanted to get up as soon as he received the baseball, and he wanted to pass the ball to the first baseman as soon as possible to block the batter who was running the base, but he didn't expect that he didn't grasp the baseball he had just caught at all, so that in the process of getting up, the baseball bounced out of the ball sleeve and fell on the sand in the infield.

“safe.“

The hitter took advantage of the opportunity for the second baseman to bend down to pick up the baseball that had fallen to the sand, and rushed through the first baseball in one go.

Taro Fukuda walked back to the first base and got back on his feet, first took off his batting gloves and handed them to the players who came to get them, then the handguards at his elbows.

"In the first half of the first inning, Seido High School's attack, second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka-kun."
