Chapter 236: Qingdao vs Kiryu (8)
Takuma Hori waved the bat with his right hand, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and held the bat high with both hands, waiting for Jinichi Jingu's pitch.
"Whew!"
Jinguji raised his leg and stepped forward, twisted his body to lean forward, and swung the bat in his hand out.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
The 120km/h, 120km/h, lateral displacement from the inside corner to the middle of the outside corner, was hit accurately by the batter swinging the bat, and then flew straight out of the sideline on the third base side and landed on the third base side, which is not far from the stands of the left field.
"Out of bounds!"
Chris took the new baseball from the chief judge, turned and waved it to the Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound, then crouched back behind home plate and signaled his code to the senior.
Jinguji stood on the pitcher's mound and stared at the bat held high next to home plate, turned his head to look at his hitter, and raised his leg to shoot the baseball in his palm.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji threw a low, out-of-the-box ball from the outside corner with a wave of his arm, so much so that the batter's swinging bat was so close that the end of the bat brushed off against the flying baseball and fell into the catcher's open sleeve.
“good shot.“
While the referee raised his right hand to make the decision, Chris fell to his knees on one leg, took the baseball out of his sleeve and reached out to pass it back.
Jinguji stretched out his left hand to catch the baseball passed to him by the catcher with the ball sleeve, then put his hands on his chest, watched Chris shake his head at the code he compared, and let Chris change the code three times in a row before agreeing to his match.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Mound!"
Takuma Hori swung his bat into the outside corner of the center and swept it into the stands above the third-base side.
"Out of bounds!"
Jinguji caught a kick-off ball passed to him by the officiator, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, took out the baseball from the ball cover in his left hand, and looked up at home plate.
"Whew!"
When the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him, Jinguji turned his back to first base, raised his leg and stepped forward, twisted his waist and abdomen so that the center of gravity of his body tilted forward sharply, and waved his arm to throw a knuckle ball with an inside corner towards home plate.
"Huh!"
"Boom!"
Takuma Hori, the hitter, had swung his bat down as much as he could, but he didn't expect the baseball thrown by the pitcher to fall directly on the sand in front of home plate.
"Smack!"
When the catcher, who was crouching behind him, knelt on his legs and placed the ball cover between the two legs and one to catch the bounced baseball but didn't catch it, Takuma Hori immediately turned around and dropped the bat in his left hand and ran towards first base.
"Whew!"
"Smack!"
When the presiding judge held his right hand and raised it, Chris immediately got up and picked up the baseball on the ground, turned to face the first base, raised his right hand and passed the baseball in the palm of his palm straight to the first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki, blocking the hitter Takuma Hori, who had just run halfway to the base.
“out.“ Before the batter strides past the first base, the first baseman who was waiting in front of him has already clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it, signaling that he has been blocked by the opposing guard.
"In the second half of the second game, Kiryu High School's attack, six sticks, middle and middle fielders, Wakamatsu-kun."
Masahiro Wakamatsu walked into the batting area and stood still in the middle of the announcement, clasped his hands and straightened his bat, and turned his head to look at Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's mound, waiting for his pitch.
Jinguji moved his neck when the hitter in the batting area was ready, then raised his leg and strode forward, swinging his right hand from right to left, throwing the baseball towards home plate.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji senior waved his arm and threw a straight ball in the middle of the field that was obvious to the outside of the ball path, Chris moved the ball sleeve outward, and then opened it violently to grab the flying baseball.
“bad shot.“
When the catcher raised his hand to pass the baseball he had just received back to the pitcher, the hitter Wakamatsu Masahiro turned his head to look at the rest area behind him, and immediately turned back after receiving the instructions, grabbed the bat with his left hand and waved it under him, then straightened it up, turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound and waited for the pitch.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji threw a ball with a swing of his arm at a speed of only 136 km/h, and the ball looked like a straight ball from the outside corner from the low position, and the hitter Wakamatsu Masahiro stopped swinging the bat, allowing the flying baseball to go straight into the catcher's open sleeve.
“good shot.“
As the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Chris also got up and took the baseball out of the ball sleeve and reached out to throw it back to the Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound.
Mashiro Wakamatsu held the bat in his left hand and waved it lightly at his side, then raised the bat up again, and turned his head to stare at Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill.
Jinguji takes a baseball from the catcher with a kick-off case, takes the baseball out of the cap with his right hand, then moves his arms with both hands flat, and then when the hitter is ready to play, he raises his leg and steps forward and swings away the right hand holding the baseball.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
The pitcher continued to swing his arm and threw a straight ball from a low position in the outside corner, although it was a straight ball, but the speed of the ball was completely different, and the speed of 144km/h allowed the batter to open his baton when the catcher Chris opened his case and caught the flying baseball into it.
“good shot.“
The referee raised his right hand to determine the ball as a good ball, and Wakamatsu Masahiro waved forward with his bat in both hands, and looked sideways at Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's hill before regaining his footing on the batting area and holding the bat high for his pitch.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Masahiro Wakamatsu swung his bat and hit a straight ball in the low position of the outside corner that was a little out of the way, allowing the flying baseball to bounce off the sand in front of the right hitting area in a fierce collision with the bat.
"Smack!"
The baseball bounced off the sand and flew straight off the sideline of the infield and all the way to the third base instructor.
The third-base instructor reached out to grab the baseball that was flying towards him, but he couldn't get it to fall next to the guidance area and rolled over the grass in front of him.
"Out of bounds!"
Chris took the new baseball from the presiding judge and reached out to toss it to the Jinguji senior on the pitcher's mound.
Massahiro Wakamatsu, who was in front of him, stepped on the ground in the batting area with his head down, looked up at Jinguji Temple on the pitcher's mound, and then tapped the bat with his left hand in front of home plate before holding the bat high and waiting for the strike.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
Masahiro Wakamatsu continued to swing the ball into the middle corner of the 140km/h corner and swept the baseball into the direction of the right field.
"Out of bounds!"
After flying upside down from home base, the baseball flew past first base and into the right field, and its trajectory continued to drift outwards until it finally landed at the tail end of the first base stand.
After looking up at the baseball that was swept out by himself and finally fell into the stands, Masahiro Wakamatsu could only wave the bat in his hand helplessly, turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, and continued to erect the bat and wait for Jinguji to pitch.
