Chapter 324: Qingdao vs Chikuri Wakayama (28)

Ryohei Hashimoto continued to place the case behind the low outside corner to get the pitcher to continue throwing a straight ball near the knee.

"Whew!"

Unfortunately, pitcher Takashi Shibata flew the baseball thrown with his arm towards home plate and gradually floated upward, and finally catcher Ryohei Hashimoto had to get up and stretch out the sleeve upwards to catch a straight ball with a speed of 130 km/h.

"Bang!"

After the ball count was evenly matched, Shibata waved his arm and threw a spiral ball to home plate at a speed of 115km/h.

"Whew!"

Unfortunately, the ball was too far away, so catcher Ryohei Hashimoto had to get up and reach out above the left hit area to grab the spiral ball that was hanging high on the belt and did not move towards the good ball area.

"Bang!"

After throwing two bad balls in a row, Shibata will follow the code given to him by his senior and throw a belt-high straight ball to home plate.

"Whew!"

At a speed of 128 km/h, the baseball is ready to fly over the corner of the good ball area, and is hit by the bat, which is swung out by the hitter, and flies high into the air.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

After seeing the baseball hit by the victim fall backwards in the off-field area, the referee took out a new baseball from his bag and handed it to the catcher next to him.

"Whew!"

Faced with a belt-high straight ball that the pitcher still threw to the edge of the good ball area, Naoya Kuroza, who was forced to the second best ball by the opponent, could only choose to swing the bat.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which had just reached the edge of the outer corner at a speed of 133 km/h, was hit by the bat that Naoya Kuroza threw out and flew high to the upper left.

"Out of bounds!"

When the baseball hit by the hitter flies out of bounds and falls into the off-field area behind the side of the left batting area, the referee walks from behind the catcher to the left-hitting area and passes the new baseball from the bag to the pitcher in front.

Ryohei Hashimoto, who was crouching behind home plate, asked the pitcher to keep the ball down as low as possible, placed the ball cover in front of the hitter's right knee, and asked pitcher Takasho Shibata for a straight ball in the inside corner near the knee.

"Whew!"

I don't know if it was because Shibata didn't dare to use an inside corner kick with the hitter, or because the ball control was not good in the first place, the straight ball he threw with his right hand to home plate was still a belt-high outside corner kick.

"Ping!"

Naoya Kuraza swung the bat in his hand and hit a straight ball that flew to the corner of the good ball area at a speed of 134km/h, sending it flying high into the air.

"Out of bounds!" After the batter throws the pitcher's baseball out of bounds, the referee can only take out a new baseball from the bag on his waist, walk to the left hitting area and reach out and throw it to the pitcher.

"Whew!"

After entanglement with the batter for six balls, Shibata will swing his arm and throw a near-belt curl ball at Ben Lei with a speed of 118km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was falling diagonally from the top of the left hitting area to the right to the corner of the good ball area, was hit by the bat that Naoya Kuraza swung downward, and smashed to the left on the sand in front of the right hitting area.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which was hit by the batter and landed in front of the right batting area, turned into an infield rolling ball, and was caught by the outstretched hands of Kento Tatsuda, the third baseman who ran towards second base.

With your right hand holding the baseball you just received, step forward and wave your arm to pass the ball to first base.

"Bang!"

Ryosuke Hiroi, the first baseman, had to jump on the baseball because the baseball from the third baseman flew too high, and then grabbed the baseball flying from the other side of the infield with his outstretched left hand.

“out.“

After landing on the ground, Ryosuke Hiroi touched the back of the runner who had run next to him with the ball cover holding the baseball, and at the same time, the runner Kuroza Naoya's right foot stepped forward and stepped on the base bag only a few centimeters away.

In this case, it was a pity to be knocked out, so much so that Namiki, who was the base-running instructor, raised his right hand in front of the first base judge and announced

After the runner was out, he reached forward and pointed his left hand at the first baseman, saying that when he touched Kura with the ball sleeve he was holding, Kuraza's right foot had already touched the first base.

In the face of the protest of the base-running instructor, the first-base judge simply waved his right hand raised forward, indicating that he had not misjudged.

"In the second half of the eighth inning, the attack of Seido High School, nine bats, pitcher, Jingu Temple-kun."

When the hitter is seated in the left hitting area and turns his head to look at him with his bat held high, Shibata will swing his arm to home plate and throw a straight ball diagonally near the knee in the inside corner.

"Whew!"

With the hitter not swinging the bat, Ryohei Hashimoto opened the ball sleeve forward and caught the baseball that flew out of the home plate at 135km/h.

"Bang!"

“good shot.“

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

Shibata's swinging knee throw misses the batter as it falls diagonally to the right at 121km/h

"Boom!"

The baseball smashed right from the top of the left hitting area directly behind home plate, and was caught firmly by the captor's upward opening sleeve in the rebound after landing.

“Strike.“ The referee clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upwards to signal that the hitter had missed the shot.

With only one good ball to get his second out, Shibata will follow the catcher's code and wave his arm to the home plate to throw a low diagonal right angle inside the home plate.

"Whew!"

Ryohei Hashimoto put the ball on the ground and caught the baseball that flew over the home plate at a speed of 128 km/h and headed straight for it.

"Bang!"

"Whew!"

After the ball count reached two good and one bad, Shibata will wave his arm and throw the ball low to the outside corner of home plate.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew to the corner of the ball at a speed of 128 km/h, was hit by Jinguji with a swing of the bat, flew high into the air, and then fell on the sand outside the field.

"Out of bounds!"

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

Jinguji threw the bat out and continued to hit the outside corner (126km/h) thrown by the pitcher, sweeping it in the direction of the right outward.

"Smack!"

The batter swings a baseball and lands on the lawn outside the right fielder's touchline before the right fielder runs over to catch the ball.

"Whew!"

Because it started to rain, Takashi Shibata, who didn't want to entangle with the hitter anymore, waved his arm and threw a near-belt curveball at home plate at a speed of 118km/h.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which fell diagonally from the top of the left zone to the low position in the outside corner, was caught by the ball sleeve stretched forward by Ryohei Hashimoto as it was about to continue falling.

“Strike out.“ Seeing this, the presiding judge, who was standing behind the catcher, raised his right hand upwards to signal that the hitter was knocked out by the pitcher.

"In the second half of the eighth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a shortstop, Fukuda-kun."

After the hitter holds his bat high and stands on the batting area, Shibata throws the spiralball towards home plate with his arm and smashes it directly to the ground in front of the home plate at a speed of 116 km/h.

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in front of home plate flew to the right towards the angle between the catcher and the hitter, and Ryohei Hashimoto opened the ball sleeve that had been placed in front of the hitter's right calf upwards and scooped it up from the top down, trying to catch the baseball that bounced to this side after landing, but unfortunately he couldn't.

"Whew!" After the opening pitch, Shibata waved his arm to home plate and threw a low ball into the outside corner.

"Huh!"

At the same time that the hitter's swing missed, Ryohei Hashimoto opened the ball sleeve forward and caught the baseball flying past the corner of the good ball area at a speed of 130km/h.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“
