Chapter 269: Qingdao Road vs. Oriental Oeji (2)

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

Because the pitcher is a left-handed pitcher, Taro Fukuda did not choose the left-hitting area as usual, but walked up to the right-hitting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and waved the bat with his left hand and put his right hand on it, holding the bat high, clasping his hands together, and waiting for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

Fei Shixin also threw a small diagonal displacement to the low corner of the home plate at a speed of 117km/h.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Taro Fukuda swung his bat down and swept the flying baseball towards the spectators on the first base.

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

In the face of a straight ball thrown by Hishishi Shinya with a high position in the outside corner and a clear outward path, Taro Fukuda did not swing his bat to strike.

"Bang!"

Catcher Shinichiro Mizuta got up and moved his left sleeve outwards to catch the baseball that was hurtling from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 133km/h.

“bad shot.“

After taking the baseball out of the case, Shinichiro Mizuta raised his right hand and threw the ball to the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.

Taro Fukuda took two steps back, turned to look at the rest area behind him, and walked back to his original position while swinging his bat at his side, grabbed the bat with his left hand and waved it back up, turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, and waited for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

Fei Shixin also waved his arm to the home plate and threw a slider from the non-good ball area to the good ball area at a speed of 131km/h.

"Huh!"

Taro Fukuda aimed at the middle of the outside corner and swung the bat that he held up in his hand hard, but unfortunately the bat in his hand still did not hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, but staggered past it from under the flying baseball.

"Bang!" Shinichiro Mizuta watched as the batter swung in front of him as he opened his sleeve to catch the pitcher's baseball.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

Taro Fukuda swung his bat hard into the non-good zone, and sent the ball that had been about to fall diagonally down to the low position of the outside corner into the left zone.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

A baseball that bounced off the left hit area landed again in the infield near the infield, and when it jumped forward into the infield, the first baseman who ran from right to left grabbed it with a ball sleeve that stretched forward.

"Porphyry!"

When the first baseman passed the received baseball to the pitcher who had just run to first base and stepped on the base, Taro Fukuda, who was behind him, also flew to first base.

“safe.“

When the pitcher raised his right hand to receive the baseball and asked the first base judge next to him if he had blocked the runner, because the runner took a quick step to touch the base bag with his left hand when he flew to first base, the first base judge directly raised his hands to signal the runner to go to base safely when he was questioned by the pitcher.

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

Yuki Tanaka stood on the left hitting area, grabbed the bat with his right hand and waved, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and after leaning on his left shoulder with both hands, he began to change the way he held the bat, preparing to send runner Taro Fukuda to second base with a batting sacrifice.

"Whew!"

After using the ball to force the runner who was about to steal the base back to the first base, Fei Shi Xin also waved his arm and threw a curveball to home plate at a speed of 124km/h.

"Boom!"

Unfortunately, his intention to pitch the ball in a low-post area was so obvious that the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew past the hitter's calf and landed directly on the sand next to home plate.

"Smack!"

The baseball bouncing off the sand was just blocked by the jacket reached by the arrester Shinichiro Mizuda and then landed on home plate.

“bad shot.“

Shinichiro Mizuta got up and bent down to pick up the baseball on home plate, reaching out and handing it to the chief judge who walked by; The referee took out a new baseball from the bag on his waist with his right hand and tossed it to the pitcher, then reached out with his left hand to pick up the old baseball from the catcher.

"Whew!"

"Ding!"

Taro Fukuda holds the slider from the side of the short bat point to the center of the outside corner, makes it fall to the ground next to home plate, and bounces to the right.

"Smack!"

Third baseman Kota Miyake ran from third base to home plate, and like catcher Shinichiro Mizuta, who was also rushing across from him, he didn't reach for the baseball that was slowly rolling next to the infield sideline.

"Out of bounds!"

Soon, the baseball on the ground rolled out of the sideline of the infield under the watchful eyes of the defenders, and when Ryota Miyake bent down to pick it up, the referee, who had already walked next to him, raised his hands upwards to signal that the ball was a throw-in.

Ryota Miyake reached out and handed the baseball he picked up to the pitcher next to him, turned around and walked back to third base.

"Ding!"

Walking back to the left-hitting area to re-establish himself, Yuki Tanaka holds the ball in the middle corner of the short bat point thrown by the pitcher, and allows the baseball to bounce to the ground in front of the left batting area in the collision of the bat.

"Smack!"

The baseball in the short bat point of the batter landed and rolled to the front first base, but just a few bounces on the ground was caught by the first baseman who rushed over with the ball sleeve of his left hand in a crouching position.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

The first baseman took the baseball out of the case, turned sideways and raised his right hand to swing the ball to the front of first base, and then was caught by the second baseman Yoshikawa, who had already run to first base, at the waist position, and blocked the runner Yuki Tanaka, who ran in front of him.

"In the second half of the first game, Seido High School's attack, three bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun."

Takashi Fujii grabbed the bat with his left hand and waved, turned his head to look at the pitcher's Toshishi Shinya, and then raised the bat high, and at the same time, he clenched it tightly with both hands in the grip position, and everything was ready, just waiting for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

Fei Shixin also threw a slider from the non-good ball area to the low inside corner with a speed of 125km/h.

"Bang!"

When the batter did not swing the bat, Shinichiro Mizuta spread out the ball cover and grabbed the baseball that was moving laterally close to the hitter's knee.

“good shot.“ The referee raised his right hand upwards to signal the ball to be good.

"Whew!"

"Boom!"

Because of the violent throw, the baseball that pitcher Fei Shixin also threw directly smashed on the right hitting area.

"Smack!"

When it bounces off the right ball area, it hits the catcher's outstretched ball cover, causing the baseball to fly high in the air and fly towards the area behind the catcher.

Taro Fukuda, a runner at second base, saw this and immediately ran towards third base.

Unfortunately, when he stepped past third base and wanted to continue to run back, catcher Shinichiro Mizuta was about to bend down to pick up the baseball that fell on the lawn outside the field, and once he dared to continue running, the pitcher Toishi Shinya, who had already run to home plate to defend, might have killed him after receiving a pass from the catcher.

“safe.“

Taro Fukuda stepped back to the base bag at third base, Shinichiro Mizuta turned his head to look at third base, and after seeing that the runner did not dare to continue running, he did not delay any longer, bent down to pick up the baseball on the grass floor, turned around and walked back towards home plate.
