Chapter 298: Qingdao vs Chikuba Wakayama (2)

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of Chikuba and Wakayama High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Kamiha-kun."

Kiyotsugu swept the ground with his feet before standing on the left shot area, swung forward with his bat in both hands, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and raised the bat to wait for the strike.

"Whew!"

Naoya Kuraza opened the ball above the sideline of the right hitting area and caught a high straight ball (134km/h) thrown by Tanba senior.

"Bang!"

Senior Tanba is still the same as always, as long as the beaten person goes to base, he will collapse under great psychological pressure. You have to find a way to control the loss of points in this game within one point, and then use this to redeem the senior's pitiful self-confidence.

Naoya Kuraza looked at the batter in front of him who was waiting for the bat, and reached under him to shoot the straight ball from the high position of the pitcher.

In the case where the hitter wants to score discreetly and sacrifice the runner to second base by hitting the sacrificial hit, then he will make a straight ball with a good way to play and let him play short.

"Whew!"

Following the instructions for the catcher, Koichiro Tanba put his right hand back behind him back into the holland on his chest, turned his head to look at the runner at second base, stepped forward with his leg raised, and waved his arm to shoot a straight ball in the middle of the high post at home plate at a speed of 132km/h.

"Ding!"

When the pitcher raised his leg and stepped forward to wave his arms, Kiyotsugu Kamiwa changed his grip to a short one, bent his butt back to make a touching position, and pointed out the baseball that flew to the top of home plate after seeing the ball clearly.

"Smack!"

The baseball bounced forward into the corner of the left hitting area, then rolled all the way forward to the left side of the pitcher's mound, and was caught by pitcher Koichiro Tanami, who ran down the pitcher's mound and crouched and stretched his left hand.

After catching the baseball rolling towards him, the pitcher got up and swung his arm to the left to pass the ball to first base, knocking out the runner who had just run past him.

“out.“

First baseman Dong Kiyokook stretched out his ball sleeve to catch the baseball passed by the pitcher, and then turned sideways to get out of the way, allowing the oncoming runner to run through the baseball smoothly, and the first base behind him saw this, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it forward.

When Kamiwa Kiyoji ran over the base bag and turned around to run back to the rest area, the whole person's expression looked quite annoyed, the opponent's catcher dared to make the pitcher throw a straight ball with a sweet path for his own caution, if it was not just a short bat touch, but ...... At the very least, a midfield (infield) hit.

Phew, that's disgusting!

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of Chikuba Wakayama High School, three bats, first baseman, Hiroi-kun."

……

After knocking out the three strikeouts of the three good and three bad balls of Chikuba Wakayama and Ryosuke Hiroi, the four-batter Ryohei Hashimoto strode to the right zone amid cheers.

"Come on, come on a big one!"

"I've got it right."

"Give me this point!"

After tapping the ground with the bat in his left hand, he clenched the bat with both hands and raised the bat, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, twisted his waist, and made a position of waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Ryohei Hashimoto hits a pitchball that the pitcher throws from his side to the right, and the baseball that flies behind home plate hits the ground in the left hitting area.

"Smack!"

The baseball is hit by the bat and flies to the ground in the left strike area, then bounces to the right and flies to the sand outside the court, turning it into a throw-in.

"Out of bounds!"

When the officiator cleared home plate and returned to the catcher, hitter Ryohei Hashimoto stopped sweeping his legs on the ground, separated his front and back sides, stretched his arms back, knocked the ground with his bat in his left hand, and lifted it up again, turned his head to look at the pitcher's mound, and waited for the pitcher to pitch the ball.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

……

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“bad shot.“

After the first kick was knocked out of bounds, Koichiro Tanba, who had not yet recovered from his mental self-collapse, threw three bad balls in a row.

"Whew!"

Koichiro Tanba swung his arm into home plate and threw an inside corner belt, which sped past the hitter's belly at 120km/h and fell diagonally to the left.

"Huh!"

Ryohei Hashimoto swept the baseball in his hand into the low position of the outside corner, but unfortunately swept it from above before it could make contact with the baseball that had fallen sharply.

"Bang!"

Kuraza opens his case upwards and catches the baseball that falls vertically after avoiding the bats swung by the hitter.

“Strike.“ The presiding judge clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upwards, signaling the beater to swing into the air.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

When pitcher Koichiro Tanami swung his arm and threw the curveball down the good ball area and was about to fall into the catcher's sleeve, the batter Ryohei Hashimoto swung it hit and swept it towards the middle field.

"Smack!"

When Nakamider Daiki Murasuke reached forward and caught the baseball bouncing off the infield after it landed, Katsuto Furumiya, a runner at third base (who hit the ball on the previous batter and took the opportunity to run from second base to third base), immediately ran back to home plate with the hitter in front of the field.

“Run.“

In a situation where the fielder doesn't have time to pass the ball after receiving a baseball knocked off by a runner, the runner and runner run back to home plate and run to first base, respectively.

“safe.“

"In the first half of the first inning, the attack of Chikuba Wakayama High School, five bats, third baseman, Tatsuda-kun."

While Ryohei Hashimoto was standing three or four steps away from the base pack, his hands on his knees, and his legs twisting while looking up at home plate, Kento Tatsuda, a batter who had five batters, was already standing in the left batting area, turning his head to look at the pitcher, and holding his bat high in a position of waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

After throwing two bad balls in quick succession, Koichiro Tanba stepped forward with his leg up, swung his right hand with the baseball from top to bottom, and threw a ball toward home plate at a speed of 122km/h.

"Bang!"

When the batter chooses to observe first and does not volatilize the strike, the baseball thrown by the pitcher moves diagonally down from the front of the hitter's waist to the edge of the low position in the outside corner, and is caught by the ball sleeve that the hitter Kura Naoya opens forward.

“good shot.“ The referee clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it forward, signaling that the pitcher's throw was a good shot.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The pitcher's pitch is struck out of bounds by the batter's swing as it moves diagonally down into the outside corner area.

"Whew!"

……

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

“Base on Balls.“。

After the ball count came to two good and two bad, Koichiro Tanba, who had not yet recovered from his condition, threw two bad balls again and sent the hitter Kento Tatsuda to base.

After seeing the pitcher send the batter to base, Superintendent Kataoka of Seido immediately asked the chief judge for a timeout, and then called Namiki next to him and asked him to be the herald to go to the pitcher's hill to convey his instructions.
