“Base on Balls.“

After being escorted by the opponent's four, Taro Fukuda took two steps back, threw his bat outside the left-hand zone, turned and ran to first base.

After Shota Kikuchi took off his hat to apologize, he reached down to take the baseball thrown to him by the catcher, bent down and grabbed the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it, waiting for the next batter to play.

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, the second baseman, Fukuda-kun, the back number 4."

As the announcer began to announce the next batter, Kotaro Tojima, who was the base-running instructor, took the handguards and foot guards handed to him by Fukuda, and turned around and handed them to Yu Sakai, who had come up to pick up something.

Yuki Tanaka, the second batter, stood up on the batting area and held the short stick directly to make a gesture of preparing to sacrifice the hit. Shota Kikuchi, the pitcher across from him, threw a containment ball to first base to avoid Fukuda getting too far from base before returning attention to him.

"Whew!"

Shota Kikuchi followed the catcher's code and threw a knee-high slide ball to home plate with a speed of 125 km/h.

"Ding!"

When the pitcher's baseball moves laterally from the outside of the strike zone into the hit zone, it is hit by the bat point pushed out by Yuki Tanaka and smashed on the sideline of the hitting zone.

"Smack!"

The baseball rolled along the sideline in front, and Yuki Tanaka followed close behind and sped towards first base.

First baseman Ryuzawa also quickly ran from first base to the left of the pitcher's mound, crouched and reached down to grab the baseball rolling along the sideline, and then touched it sideways, and Yuki Tanaka, who had just run next to him, knocked him out.

“out.“ The presiding judge, who ran after Yuki Tanaka, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it above his shoulder.

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Seido High School, three sticks, left fielder, Fujii-kun, back number 7."

Takashi Fujii held the bat forward with his left hand, lowered his head and swept the ground with his foot, then stood on the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waved the bat with his left hand, then clenched his hands and raised them high, waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

The pitcher swung his arm and threw a pitch ball that looked a little inward, and Takashi Fujii leaned sideways to the right to avoid being hit by the ball, but the baseball deflected slightly outward as it flew to the left arm at 109km/h, and then crossed the edge of the zone with a large drop.

"Palm Ball?!" By the time Fujii found out that something was wrong, it was too late.

"Bang!" Shu Kobayashi reached forward and caught the longitudinally falling baseball behind the center of the inside corner.

“Strike.“

After raising his right hand in the presiding judge's decision, Takashi Fujii waved the paddle with his left hand and then clenched his hands together and held the bat high to wait for the next ball.

"Whew!"

After pretending to throw a containment ball at second base so that the runner did not dare to go too far from base, Shota Kikuchi stepped forward with his leg and waved his right hand to throw the inside corner palm ball towards home plate.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's baseball flew around the underside of the hitter's shoulder at a speed of 108 km/h, then fell sharply and narrowly to the edge of the strike zone, and was caught by the catcher Hideki Kobayashi from behind the low inside corner with a sleeve.

“Strike.“ The presiding judge clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it over his shoulder to determine the palm ball as a good ball, then lowered his right hand and raised two fingers forward: "two."

It was really difficult to control the ball in the palm of his hand with such a good hand, and Fujii held the bat in both hands and waved it under him, then raised it high again, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waited for the strike.

"Whew!"

After 2 good shots, Shota Kikuchi swung his arm and threw a high inward fastball to home plate at a speed of 135km/h.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's baseball flies over the good-ball zone and then catches it with the sleeve lifted upwards by the catcher as it flies above the right-hit zone.

“Ball.“ The referee raised his left hand, raised his index finger, and indicated the number of balls: "one."

Takashi Fujii was not dissatisfied with the opponent's intention to use actual combat to hone the inward fastball, and after re-establishing himself on the batting area, he waved the paddle with both hands and raised it high, turning his head to look at Shota Kikuchi who was standing on the pitcher's board.

"Whew!"

As a runner on base, Shota Kikuchi threw a containment ball to second base, then turned around and threw a lob ball at home plate at a speed of 120km/h.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's swing of the baseball drifts up from the pitcher's mound to the top of home plate just parallel to the batter's cap standing on the batting area, and then is caught by the catcher who is getting up to the left as it moves laterally down above the right hitting area.

“Ball…“

Takashi Fujii put down the bat that had been held aloft and swung it at his side with his left hand, then stood up again in the batting area, raised the bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

According to the code given to him by Kobayashi senior, Shota Kikuchi raised his legs, stepped forward, and threw a knee high ball into home plate with his arm thrown into home plate.

"Bang!"

Takashi Fujii hurriedly straightened his legs backwards to avoid the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and then let the catcher's forward open ball cover above the sideline of the right hitting area to catch the baseball that was speeding at 134km/h.

“Ball.“ The referee raised his left hand, raised three fingers upward, and indicated the pitcher the number of balls: "three."

After taking off his hat and apologizing to the beater, Shota Kikuchi stretched out his left hand to receive the baseball passed back by Kobayashi senior.

Looking at the code that the senior was comparing to him under him, Shota Kikuchi nodded, raised his leg and stepped forward, flicking his right hand towards home plate to throw a belt-high inward fastball.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

The baseball, which shifted horizontally at 134 km/h, crossed the strike zone at a speed of 134 km/h, and then flew to the high inside corner, where it was hit by the bat, which was swung by Takashi Fujii, and flew backwards to the right towards first base.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The first baseman standing outside the touchline kicked his legs and jumped sharply to avoid the baseball hit by the batter's swing, causing it to fall on the sand below and rolling right towards the adjacent baserun instructor's area.

"Out of bounds!" The first base judge raised his hands upwards at a 45-degree angle.

Shota Kikuchi took the new baseball thrown to him by the chief judge, and after standing on the pitcher's mound, he waved his arm toward home plate and went to home plate to get a straight ball near the belt.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's baseball flies to the edge of the corner of the hit zone at a speed of 135 km/h and is hit by the bat's swing.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was hit by Takashi Fujii's swing, smashed down on his right calf and bounced backwards into bounds.

"Out of bounds!" The referee raised his hands upwards and took the new baseball out of his bag and threw it to the pitcher.

Takashi Fujii shook the bat with both hands, walked back to the right hitting area, and stood tall, holding the bat high and turning his head to look at the pitcher.

"Whew!"

According to the catcher's code, Shota Kikuchi swung his arm and threw a belt-high straight ball into home plate at a speed of 136km/h.

"Bang!"

With the hitter not swinging the bat, Kobayashi moved the holster a little inward to catch the baseball flying from the right side of the good ball zone.

“Base on Balls.“

After being escorted by the pitcher's four bad balls, Takashi Fujii turned around and put the bat outside the right-hitting area, and then turned away from home plate and trotted towards first base when the pitcher took off his hat to apologize.

"Pause!"

After the referee stretched his arms above his head and announced the suspension of the game, catcher Shu Kobayashi ran forward to the pitcher's mound and comforted pitcher Shota Kikuchi who had sent the hitter one after another with four bad balls through a simple verbal conversation.
