After receiving the baseball rolling towards him, Yuki Tanaka immediately got up and stepped to pass the ball to first base.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

First baseman Tetsuya Yuuki also stepped on the first base's bag with his right foot, facing Junior Taka, who was about to pass the ball to him, and then opened the ball cover in his left hand to catch the baseball passed to him by the senior, and Takeda Shibu, who was running towards him behind him and was only two steps away from stepping on the base pack.

“retire.“

When Takeda Wataru stepped in front of him, the first base judge raised his right hand to signal that the batter had been blocked out by the Qingdao defender, and got the third number of outs to end the bottom half of the second inning.

In the first half of the third inning, Naoya Aoza of the Seido Nine Stick walked into the right hitting area with his left hand and stood still, looked down at the ground, grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it lightly under him, then turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, raised the bat erected and waited for his pitch.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Faced with pitcher Yu Aoki's straight ball that deflected off the low position of the outside corner, Naoya Kuraza did not swing his bat to hit the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound at 135 km/h.

“bad shot.“

Takuya Akiba took the baseball out of the case and threw it back to the pitcher, and hitter Naoya Kuraza continued to turn his head in the direction of the pitcher's mound, grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it under him, and then held it up again.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Yu Aoki swung his arm to home plate and threw a straight ball from the outside corner with a speed of 136km/h, but Naoya Kuraza still didn't swing his bat.

“good shot.“

After the presiding judge raised his right hand, the catcher took the baseball out of the case and passed it back to the pitcher, Naoya Kuroza grabbed the grip of the bat with his left hand, and placed his right hand in the middle of the bat, holding the bat and twisting his waist.

He grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it underneath him, then turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, holding the bat high and waiting for the pitch to be pitched.

"Whew!"

Yu Aoki threw a widening ball diagonally from the non-good zone to the center of the inside corner at 116km/h.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

When the pitcher's baseball is displaced diagonally to the high center, it is hit by the batter Naoya Kuraza, which causes the baseball to bounce into the middle of the home plate and the pitcher's board in a collision with the bat.

"Smack!"

The baseball hit by the batter smashed into the sand of the infield, bounced on the sand and flew past Yu Aoki's right foot, and before the second baseman and shortstop could run over and close in, he bounced over the base bag of the second base and rolled into the lawn of the middle and outer fields.

“safe.“

By the time fielder Takahiro Kanno ran out from deep in the field, then knelt on his right leg and reached out with his left sleeve to catch the baseball rolling towards him, the batter had already stepped past the first base.

After looking up and seeing that the midfielder had already picked up the baseball he had hit, he immediately stopped trying to continue running, turned around and ran back to the first base bag to stand, took off the batting gloves and gauntlets on his hands and handed them to Namiki Senpai who came to pick up something next to him.

"In the first half of the third game, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a guerrilla, Fukuda-kun."

When Taro Fukuda, the first batter of Aomichi, was standing on the left batting area and holding his bat high in a stance of waiting for the strike, pitcher Yu Aoki did not pitch to home plate, but instead swung his arm at first base and threw a containment ball at first base under the influence of the runner hiding Naoya leaving the base and preparing to steal the base.

"Bang!"

After the failed attempt, Yu Aoki reached out with his left hand to take the baseball passed to him by first baseman Tomoya Tokikawa, and returned his attention to home plate.

"Whew!"

Yu Aoki throws a slider from a non-good zone to a non-good zone in the middle of the outside corner with a speed of 130 km/h.

"Bang!"

Takuya Akiba opened the ball cover to catch the baseball that had been displaced laterally from the waist and abdomen of the hitter.

“good shot.“

When the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Taro Fukuda, a baton on Kiyochi, held the bat in his right hand and turned his head to look at the rest area behind him, and after receiving instructions from Superintendent Kataoka, he turned back and continued to look at Yu Aoki, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, holding the bat with both hands and leaning on his left shoulder, waiting for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

Yu Aoki continued to swing his arm towards home plate and threw a slider from the non-good zone to the low outside corner with a speed of 131 km/h.

"Bang!"

Takuya Akiba opens his catcher sleeve to the left and grips the baseball that has moved laterally from the hitter's thigh.

“bad shot.“

This ball is different from the previous one in that it is done laterally behind home plate.

When the catcher took the baseball out of the case and threw it back to the pitcher, Taro Fukuda took the bat in his right hand and looked at the rest area on the first base side again before regaining his feet on the left batting area, holding the bat high and turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for his pitch.

"Smack!"

"Porphyry!"

Because the pitcher suddenly threw a containment ball to first base, Naoya Kuraza, a runner who was still two or three steps away from the base bag, hurriedly flew back, and when first baseman Tomoya Tokokawa opened his ball sleeve to catch the pitcher's pass, he just touched the base bag on first base with both hands.

Tomoya Tokogawa glanced sideways at the runner behind him, grabbed the baseball thrown out of the sleeve with his right hand, and waved it back to Aoki on the pitcher's mound.

"Whew!"

Yu Aoki reached out to receive the baseball passed back to him by the first baseman, and after standing sideways on home plate, he stepped sideways and forward, waving his arm to the home plate to throw a curveball that fell diagonally from the non-hit area (the base of the hitter's thigh) to the low area of the outside corner at a speed of 123 km/h.

"Huh!"

Taro Fukuda swung his bat out after aiming at the baseball thrown by the pitcher.

Unfortunately, when Taro Fukuda swung the bat into the low position area of the outside corner, because the baseball thrown by Yu Aoki had already flown to the low position area of the outside corner before that, and it just fell out of the good ball area at this time.

"Bang!"

When the batter swung over the baseball that was falling diagonally, the catcher Takuya Akiba opened his sleeve downwards just enough to catch the baseball that fell out of the good ball area.

When the batter spun around the left batting area with all his might, Takuya Akiba, a catcher from Fukui, immediately stood up from the back of the right hitting area, grabbed the baseball that had fallen out of the sleeve of his left hand with his right hand, and raised his hand to pass the ball to second base.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Because pitcher Yu Aoki knew Takuya Akiba's intentions, the whole person squatted directly on the left side of the pitcher's board, so that Takeda Watabu, a shortstop who had just run to second base, used the ball sleeve of his left hand to smoothly catch Takuya Akiba and swung the baseball that passed.

Wataru Takeda's right leg touched the base bag at second base to the left, and after receiving the baseball passed to him by the catcher, he immediately placed the baseball sleeve on the runner's path to hide Naoya, and before he slid his left foot onto the base bag at second base, he used the baseball sleeve to touch his left calf that was reaching this way.

“out.“。

After watching the runner's piracy and the defender's defensive touch, the second base judge clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it to signal that the runner in Qingdao was killed by the guard.

As Naoya Kuraza lowered his head and straightened his trouser legs and left the field to return to the rest area on the first base, Takuya Akiba smiled and gestured to the people around him before walking back to the back of home plate and squatting again.
