Chapter 232: Qingdao vs Kiryu (4)

"In the second half of the first game, Kiryu Koku's attack, a stick, left fielder, Yamaguchi-kun."

Shoji Yamaguchi walked out of the batting area, and after the referee had cleared the home plate, he walked to the left hitting area, he first swept the ground with his feet down, and waved the bat from side to side with one hand, then turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher, held the bat high and waited for his pitch.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Jinguji threw a low ball from the inside corner with a wave of his arm, and although the ball speed was 146km/h, it was a bad ball that passed too low.

When the batter raised his bat and regained his footing on the left-hand bat, Jingujichi took a step back after reaching out to receive the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, then raised his leg and stride, flicked his arm, and flew the baseball in his hand to home plate again.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Jinguji once again waved his arm to throw a low ball from the outside corner, this ball was 145km/h, and then it was successfully caught by Chris's open ball sleeve, and the hitter Shoji Yamaguchi was just reacting at this time, and when he swung his bat to strike, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound had disappeared in front of his eyes.

“good shot.“ The referee raised his right hand and signaled that the pitcher's shot was good.

Although Jingujiichi has a top speed of more than 147 km/h, it is impossible for him to throw the ball at his maximum speed every time, in which case, his physical exertion will increase dramatically, and he may have to leave the court early after throwing the first few innings, which is unacceptable for him.

In this way, stabilizing the ball speed in the range of 142~146km/h is the most appropriate and beneficial for him at present.

Jinguji reached out to catch the baseball that the catcher passed back to him, reached out and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, took out the baseball from the ball sleeve with his right hand, raised his head to look at the hitter next to home plate, and waited for the matching ball code that Chris gave him.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Shotsugu Yamaguchi hit the outside corner mid-position ball thrown by the pitcher, causing it to drop next to home plate and soar into the air.

"Smack!"

After the baseball landed again on the infield sand near the infield, it was caught by the shortstop Taro Fukuda, who had just bounced off the ground, and then stepped sideways and waved his arm to pass the baseball he had just received to first base.

“out.“

First baseman Tetsu Yuki also put his right foot on the first base, stretched the ball sleeve of his left hand as far forward as possible, and then caught the baseball passed to him by Fukuda Senpai, and quickly blocked the hitter Shotsugu Yamaguchi, who just flew towards first base.

Tetsuya Yuki took the baseball out of the ball sleeve and threw it back to Jinguji senior on the pitcher's hill, and behind him was Shoji Yamaguchi, who got up from the sand with his hands on the ground.

"In the second half of the first game, Kiryu High School's attack, two sticks, left fielder, Xiao Shi-kun."

On the right hitting area, Kosetaro first leveled the ground with his feet, then knocked the ground with his left hand with the bat, then held the bat with both hands and leaned it on his right shoulder, bent back, and turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Faced with a swing of his arm from Jinguji with a ball speed of 142 km/h in the middle of the outer corner, hitter Sashitaro did not swing his bat.

“good shot.“

After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Chris got up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and threw it back to Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound.

Kosetaro turned his head to look at the rest area on the third base, turned around and just spun in front of him with his bat in one hand, then leaned it on his shoulder, bent back, and turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound in a position of waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

"Boom!"

Jinguji slipped with one finger and threw a bad ball that landed in the outside corner of the left zone, bouncing off the sand before being caught by Chris's moving sleeve.

Chris got up and passed the baseball back to the pitcher, while hitter Setaro turned to face the rest area on the third base, and only after receiving instructions from their supervisor, Takahiro Matsumoto, did he turn back and raise his bat, turn his head to look at the pitcher's mound, and wait for Jinguji to pitch.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Jinguji threw a low-lying ball from the outside corner with a wave of his arm (146km/h), but Chris had to open the ball downwards to catch the flying baseball.

“bad shot.“

Chris knelt on his legs and reached out to toss the baseball he had just received back to the pitcher; Jingujiichi reached out and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him after receiving the baseball from the catcher, and while looking up at home plate, he also put the baseball sleeve and his right hand on his chest, waiting for the catcher to give him a new code so that he could pitch the ball next.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

Jotaro swung his bat at a baseball that was inside the outside corner thrown by the pitcher, causing it to bounce to the sideline of the right corner of the right zone, and then rolled all the way to the side of the third base, where it was caught by the third baseman who had been waiting there for a long time, Dong Kiyokuni, in a crouching position and outstretched his arms.

"Whew!"

Dong Qingguo stepped forward immediately after receiving the baseball, raised his right hand and flew the ball to first base with all his might.

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, stepped on the first base's bag with one foot, and after seeing Higashi pass the ball to him, he raised his left hand and jumped violently, but he couldn't catch the baseball flying from third base, and could only watch as the baseball thrown by Higashi flew overhead and then fell on the lawn outside the field.

“Go! Go! Go!“

Faced with this situation, whether it is the running instructor in front or behind, they are asking the hitter Kosetaro to run as far forward as possible.

By the time right fielder Hiroshi Ota ran to the off-field area and bent down to pick up the baseball on the lawn, hitter Koshitaro had already stepped to second base, and he had no intention of stopping there, and rushed to third base with his back to Hiroshi Ota.

After bending down to pick up the baseball, Hiroshi Ota turned around and trotted back to the right field, as for passing the ball to third base to block the hitter, it is completely impossible, because the hitter at this time is only a short four or five meters away from third base, and it is impossible to complete the task of passing the ball at such a distance in any way.

Jinguji reached out to take the baseball passed to him by his teammates, took out a handkerchief from the back of his butt and wiped the sweat from his cheeks, then put his hand back in the pocket behind his butt and strode up to the pitcher's mound.

He bent down and pinched the magnesium powder packet in front of him, raised his right hand and blew on the powder on it, turned to face home plate, and looked at the hitter who had just walked from the waiting area to the batting area.

"In the second half of the first game, Kiryu Kom's attack, three sticks, left fielder, Xie Shiki-kun."

After leveling the ground in the hitting area with his head down, Shogo Yoshiki waved the bat with one hand, turned his head to look at Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's mound, and held the bat upright with both hands, waiting for the baseball to come from the pitcher's mound.
