"Whew!"

"Ping!"

A baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound to the edge of the high post in the inside corner was hit by the bat, which was swept out by the beater, and flew out of the infield sideline (third base) to the left and landed on the sand outside the field.

"Out of bounds!"

After the hitter was ready, Jingujiichi, who was standing in front of the pitcher's board, looked at the catcher's code, nodded, stood sideways, stepped forward with his leg raised, and swung his right hand holding the baseball from back to front.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's belt-belted ball raced past the hitter at 129 km/h, then moved diagonally down through the good ball area and was caught behind the low corner by Naoya Kura's forward-opening cover.

"Bang!"

“retire.“ The referee's right palm was raised upwards, and while signaling that the hitter was knocked out, the defender took advantage of this to get the third number of outs of the game, which also meant that the first half of the third game was over.

"In the bottom half of the third inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, four bats, first baseman, Dongjun." A minute after the end of the first half of the third inning, the radio over the court rang out again.

Dong Qingguo stood on the right shot area with his legs apart, waved the bat in his left hand, and then raised it upright, turned his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for his pitch.

“play ball!“

After the referee reached forward with his right hand and asked him to start pitching, Takasei Takenaka swung his arm to the left side of home plate, above the left hitting zone, to throw a near-belt speed ball that would slope slightly to the right.

"Bang!" Ryohei Hashimoto extended his sleeve above the sideline of the left hitting area and grabbed the baseball that was falling downwards at 109km/h.

“bad shot.“

After the batter raised his bat high and reprepared himself to strike, Takamori Takenaka swung his arm toward home plate and shot straight at the diagonal near the knee and sped towards home plate at a speed of 135km/h on the pitcher's mound like a white light.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

With the batter Higashi Kiyokuni not swinging the batter because the ball looked low, catcher Ryohei Hashimoto opened the ball behind home plate and in front of the side of the hitter's right knee to catch the flying baseball.

“good shot.“ As the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Ryohei Hashimoto stood up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and threw it back to the pitcher standing on the pitcher's mound.

Dong Qingguo raised his hands above his head, hung the bat behind his back, and after two deep breaths, he put down his hands and turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, knocked the bat with his left hand and knocked it upright from the right up, waiting for the pitcher's pitch to strike.

"Whew!"

Takamori Takenaka stretched his right hand holding the baseball back from inside the case, stepped forward with his leg, and waved his arm to throw the near-belt speed ball at home plate.

"Ping!"

The pitcher's baseball flew at a speed of 108 km/h to the left edge of the strike zone, then tilted to the right, and flew longitudinally into the downward corner of the hit zone, when it was hit by a bat swung low into the outside corner by the beater, Dong Kiyokuni.

"Smack!"

The baseball hit by the bat smashed forward on the sand in front of the corner of the right batting area, then bounced to the right (back) onto the ankle of the hitter's right leg, and then flew forward over the left batting area and fell in front of Tokiyo, who ran forward and ran out of home plate due to being hit by the baseball.

"Out of bounds!" After the referee raised his hands upwards to make the decision, Dong Qingguo, who was standing outside the left hitting area, turned around and walked back to the right hitting area from the crouching area behind home plate, and behind him was the catcher who picked up the baseball that had just rolled out and quickly walked back to home plate.

"Whew!"

Takasei Takenaka follows the catcher's code and throws a straight ball from the outside corner of home plate that will fly past the corner of the good ball area at a speed of 136km/h.

"Bang!"

Ryohei Hashimoto moved the ball sleeve, which had been playing parallel to the knee, up to a position parallel to the batter's belt, and caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound to the outside of the hit zone.

“bad shot.“ A pitcher's outside corner ball, even if it is very close to the good zone, is unlikely to be rated a good ball by the officiator under normal circumstances.

"Whew!"

After taking a few deep breaths, Takamori Takenaka lifted his left foot forward, swung his outstretched right hand forward, and threw a straight ball into the inside corner near the knee towards home plate.

"Huh!"

Dong Qingguo swung the bat that was raised in his hand down, and when the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 136 km/h was about to fly out of the good ball area and fell into the ball sleeve that the catcher had placed in front of the knee of his right leg, he swung the bat and flew high.

"Ping!"

After looking up at the baseball that was flying out in the direction of the midfield, Dong Qingguo immediately ran away from home plate, let go of the bat in his hand, threw it next to the infield sideline, and ran towards the first base in front.

"Smack!"

Katsuto Furumiya, a midfielder who had been in front of the home run wall, ran diagonally forward, ran out from right to left, and was grabbed by the ball sleeve he lifted upwards as the baseball flew deep into the outfield and fell down.

“out.“ Standing in front of the fielder, second base saw this, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upward.

Snorted, turned around and ran back, Dong Qingguo, after he ran next to the catcher and the chief judge, the radio over the court sounded again: "In the second half of the third game, the attack of Qingdao High School, five bats, Chinese and foreign fielders, Murasuke-kun." ”

Murasuke lowered his head to level the ground, held the bat in his left hand and waved, and after he turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound and raised the bat to get ready to strike, the pitcher waved his arm and threw a straight diagonal ball with a low diagonal.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

With the batter not swinging the bat, catcher Ryohei Hashimoto moves the ball sleeve down and grabs the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 135km/h in front of the hitter's right calf.

"Whew!"

After the hitter waved the bat with one hand, re-established himself on the right hitting area and waited for the strike, Takamori Takenaka, who was standing sideways, raised his left foot, stepped forward, flicked his arm, and continued to throw a diagonal straight ball to home plate.

"Bang!" Ryohei Hashimoto opened his sleeve forward and caught a straight ball with a near knee that flew in front at a speed of 135km/h.

“good shot.“

After the presiding judge raised his right hand to make the decision, Ryohei Hashimoto stood up and raised his right hand to throw the baseball back to the pitcher.

After Takamori Takenaka opened his ball sleeve to receive the catcher's pass, he reached out and lifted the ball cap to dissipate heat, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's board, reached out and grabbed the magnesium powder bag next to him and pinched it, then took out the baseball from the ball cover and carried it behind him, stood sideways and turned his head to look at home plate.

"Whew!"

After the batter raised his bat and prepared to strike again, Takamori Takenaka stepped forward with his leg raised, and his right hand, which was holding the baseball and outstretched downward, swung upwards and threw the belt curveball towards home plate.

"Huh!"

When the pitcher's baseball moves diagonally down from the left strike area at a speed of 106 km/h, the bat that was erected by the batter is already speeding towards the hit area.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which moved diagonally down to the edge of the high position in the outer corner, was hit by a bat swung by Taiki Murasuke before it could continue to move downward, and flew backwards to the left at a faster speed.
