Yagami threw a lob ball at home plate with a swing of his arm at 129km/h.

"Whew!"

The curveball flew high in front of the hitter with a high belt, and as it moved diagonally down from the top of the good zone to the middle of the non-good ball, it was caught by the jacket opened by the catcher Yukiichi Miyuki.

"Bang!"

Stepping forward with his leg raised and his left arm swinging down, Yagami threw a high slide ball from the inside corner of the belt to home plate, which scurried past the hitter's chest at a speed of 144km/h and moved laterally to the right to the good ball zone.

"Whew!"

Hitakami Yoshikawa hits a baseball in the high area of the lateral displacement of the outer corner with a swing, sending it flying high.

"Ping!"

The baseball hit by the bat flies backwards above the spectator and begins to lose height before finally falling.

"Out of bounds!"

Because he had just swung the bat too hard, Takutomi Yoshikawa, who had turned to face the rest area on the side of the first base, stood up from the batting area and turned back after reading the code that the superintendent had given him.

With his right hand in his hand, he waved his bat, spread his legs to the sides, and continued to turn his head to look at Yagami on the pitcher's mound, clenching the bat with both hands and raising it.

"Whew!"

Yagami followed the catcher's code to him, waved his arm to the home plate and threw a high slide ball from the hitter's armpit to the right at a speed of 145km/h, and even because the ball was too fast, there was a certain oblique upward movement.

"Bang!"

When the hitter Yoshikawa stopped the bat that had been swung above the catcher's head in time, catcher Mikoi also caught the flying baseball in the upper corner of the ball sleeve above the high position of the outer corner, parallel to the hitter's arm.

"Whew!"

In order to achieve the impact of the previous goal, Yagami Yagami threw a high-speed slider to home plate for the third time and flew under the hitter's armpit at 142km/h, and the change of slight diagonal upward movement again caused the baseball to move sideways from the top of the hit area to the right.

"Bang!"

Miyukiichi also lifted the ball case upwards and caught the baseball thrown by Yagami above the right hitting area, bringing the ball count to one good and three bad.

Yagami reached forward with his right hand to catch the baseball passed by Miyuki, and nodded to him as he bent to the side to reach out and grab the magnesium powder bag on the ground, indicating that his condition was not in a problem and asked him not to be nervous.

Letting go of his fingers, he let the magnesium powder pack fall back onto the ground next to the pitcher's board, reached out and took out his baseball and stood on the pitcher's board, then nodded as he looked at the code that Miyuki had compared to beneath him.

"Whew!"

The pitcher on the pitcher's mound steps forward with his leg raised, twists his waist and abdomen, swings his arm, and throws the inside belt high-speed ball into home plate, moving diagonally up from the hitter's chest at 143km/h, and then laterally from the side of the hitter area to the edge of the high (upward) inside corner.

"Ping!"

Takumi Yoshikawa swung his bat outwards and hit the baseball that had moved laterally to the edge of the strike zone, turning it into an infield low fly ball that went straight to first and second base.

"Smack!"

The baseball bounced forward after landing in the infield, but was grabbed by second baseman Yuki Tanaka, who was crouching in front, in the abdomen, and then without the slightest pause, he immediately got up and ran to the base bag of second base, and blocked him before the runner Shinichiro Mizuta at the original first base hit base.

“retire.“

When Yuki Tanaka stepped over the base bag, waving his right arm holding the baseball, and was about to run back to the rest area, runner Shinichiro Mizuta stepped on the base bag at second base at this time, and the second base judge next to him clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it, signaling that he was blocked by the garrison.

"Toyo Oeji is a real pity. In the case of full base, Qingdao got the last number of outs, thus ending the game. ”

"Yes, otherwise, it is possible that Toyo Ōhimeji will use this to reverse the score of both sides."

"Oh~"

Because of the successful conclusion of the first half of the eighth game, Yagami showed a different kind of excitement, shouting and waving his arms, and in the process of running back, he also reached out to the side from time to time to high-five his teammates who passed by.

"Next, Miyuki ......"

"Hmm."

Returning to the rest area, after being teased and comforted by the seniors, Yagami Yagami, who had calmed down, gathered around Chris with the others and listened to him say, "Our goal is to -"

"Everybody is aiming for the bottom half of the next eighth inning, and then how about the first half of the ninth inning?"

"Uh-huh, uh-huh......"

"Good idea, I'm in favor of it."

When the others nodded in agreement, Yagami was the first to speak: "First of all, Fujii-senpai, who is about to play, will knock out the hit base, and after that, Yuuki and Higashi-senpai, who will play, will have room to play......"

"Well, that's right."

"Did you hear that?" Taro Fukuda reached out and patted Fujii Taka's back, and quipped, "In order to make it easier for us to be behind the trump card, Agui, you have to work hard." ”

"Fujii, as a senior, you can't lose face in front of your junior." Dong Qingguo immediately took out the majesty of being the captain.

"Haha......" the third-graders laughed.

……

"Then come on, everyone!" Chris clenched his right hand into a fist and reached forward, then shouted.

"Good!" Qingdao people clenched their right hands into fists and formed a circle, swung them vigorously twice and then dispersed.

At 1:05 in the afternoon, the radio above the court sounded again: "In the second half of the fifth inning, the attack of Seido High School, three bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun." The bottom half of the eighth inning began.

Takashi Fujii stands on the batting area with his legs spread out to the sides, holds the bat in both hands and leans on his shoulders and turns his head to look at the pitcher's mound, and raises the bat resting on his shoulder upwards as the presiding judge reaches forward with his right hand to signal the pitcher to start pitching.

"Whew!"

The ball hung high on the belt, moved diagonally down to the right at 116km/h, and was finally caught in the case of a cap that was moved upwards by the capsule behind the high post in the outside corner.

"Bang!"

When Takashi Fujii was about to swing the bat downward, he noticed that the baseball that was moving down could not fall down into the good ball area, so he stopped the action of swinging the bat in time.

"Whew!"

Qianzhen waved his arm and threw a mid-belt slider to home plate, moving laterally from the left hit to the good ball area at a speed of 126km/h.

"Huh!"

Takashi Fujii swung his bat out and sent the baseball, which had been moved horizontally to the center, high and high, and galloped towards the center-right outfield.

"Ping!"

When the runner dropped his bat and ran towards first base, Nakawaga Daiki, a midfielder, looked up at the baseball that was flying from home plate, and ran from left to right and from back to front to the right field not too far from the infield, and stretched out his right hand forward to signal his teammates (the second baseman who ran towards him from the infield, the right fielder who ran from the right and already ran behind him) not to interfere with him, and then raised the ball sleeve upwards to catch the baseball that the runner was flying over.

"Smack!"

Seeing this, Takashi Fujii, who was about to step on the base bag, could only turn around and run back to the rest area on the side of the third base after the first base judge raised his right hand to make a decision.
