At 16:30 in the afternoon, during the practice match between Seido and Hakuryu High School, Superintendent Kataoka still handed over the work of the scorekeeper to the first-year Miyuki Kazuya.

When he filled out the roster, he found out that all the second-year students, including Senior Yagami and Senior Yuuki, did not play in this practice match.

Yukiichi also looked at the scorebook for a while, and then looked up at the situation on the field and made a record of the game.

The first three innings were relatively uneventful, and even if someone on both sides went to base, they couldn't return to home plate to score smoothly.

In the fourth inning, the white dragon took the lead in attacking, with consecutive hits of two and three bats, and by the time the four bats stood in the batting area, there were already people on first and second base, and the second was out.

Kentaro Matsuda asked the referee for a timeout, ran up to the pitcher's mound and communicated with Jingujiichi before running back to the back of home plate and crouching.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

The bad ball thrown by Jinguji did not deceive the swing of the white dragon's four sticks.

Kentaro Matsuda had no choice but to ask Jinguji for a quick through ball from a low position in the inside corner.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

The ball that was not easy to play was swept directly outside the sideline of third base by the White Dragon Four.

If he hits a batter with a white dragon four, he will lose at least a point, Kentaro Matsuda pondered for a moment before he made a secret gesture to Jinguji on the pitcher's hill.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Another bad ball was released by the White Dragon Four Sticks, causing the catcher to give up the idea of using the bad ball to trick the hitter into swinging the bat.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

……

After seven consecutive balls of entanglement with the white dragon's four sticks, when the number of balls had accumulated to two good balls and two bad balls, Jingu Jiichi seemed to have made up his mind, and after shaking his head and denying the catcher Matsuda's several codes, he came over to compare a code to him.

Catcher Kentaro Matsuda hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement with Jingu Teraichi's idea.

Jinguji, who was standing on the pitcher's mound, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, and struggled to raise his leg and wave his arms forward, throwing the baseball in his palm.

Finger Fork Ball!

Jinguji threw the ball very well, and the longitudinal displacement of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound before it hit the home plate, as well as the time it took to fall after flying into the home plate, all showed that Jinguji was very complete on the knuckles.

At the same time, the White Dragon Four Sticks misjudged whether the ball thrown by the pitcher's arm was still a straight ball, causing his swing to miss.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange." The referee signaled the end of the first half of the fourth inning.

"Jinguji, good vote!"

"Well done! It is worthy of our trump card. ”

The third-graders gave encouragement and support to Jingujiichi.

Yagami got up and poured a glass of water and handed it to the Jinguji senior, who returned to the rest area.

"That shot from the senior just now is awesome!" Yagami exclaimed.

Jinguji took the water handed over by Yagami, nodded to him, drank it in one gulp, and turned his head to look at Superintendent Kataoka next to him: "Superintendent, I feel that I am in a good state today, and I can finish the entire practice match." ”

Superintendent Kataoka crossed his hands on his chest and said calmly to Jingujiichi, "It's useless to just say it, prove it to me with actions!" ”

"Yes!" Jinguji replied loudly.

In the second half of the fourth inning, as if in response to Jingujiichi's pitch, the third-graders actively swung their bats and ran bases, and scored two points in one go to end the fourth inning.

In the first half of the fifth game, although Bailong scored 2 points from Jingu Jiichi to tie the score of the two sides; But in the second half of the next sixth inning, Qingdao scored another point from Bailong's pitcher Wang Ye.

In the next three innings, in addition to the seventh inning, White Dragon and Qingdao each scored one more point, in the later games, Qingdao and White Dragon although there were many people on base, but did not run back to home plate to score, at the end of the game, the score of the two sides was fixed at 3:4, Jinguji as he wished, the whole game.

At 19:10 in the afternoon, the Qingdao people who had finished the practice match got on the school bus and prepared to set off for the hotel where they were staying.

Before leaving, the overseer of Hakuryu shook Kataoka's hand and said, "This year's Seido is indeed very exciting. ”

Superintendent Kataoka also said very politely, "I hope to see you again in Koshien this summer." ”

……

"I'm so tired!" After opening the door, Yagami threw his backpack on the ground, and the whole person lay down on the bed, not wanting to move.

Thirty minutes later, Yagami sat up from the bed, opened his backpack and took out his homework book, moved another bench and sat on the ground, put the homework book on the bench, and began to write his homework.

An hour later, Yagami put away his homework book and went downstairs to dinner.

After dinner, after taking a shower, it was time for the regular meeting, and Superintendent Kataoka still came to the conference room a few minutes early, and won the practice match with Narita today, and Superintendent Kataoka didn't analyze the game too much, mentioned a few mistakes and deficiencies in the game, and arranged the roster for tomorrow's game against Kendai Takasaki.

After the meeting ended, Yukiichi also sneaked out of the room, bought a can of drink from the vending machine on the first floor, and sat down in a corner that was not very obtrusive.

To be honest, Yukiichi is not used to this kind of sudden and very self-familiar care.

The reason why he chose Qingdao at the beginning, in addition to the main reason why Chris's seniors are here, the secondary reason is because of Xiaoli's many invitations, and in the end, he wants to defeat Narumiya Naruto, who joins Inagi Industry and the third year of the city university, to prove his mind.

If you want to say how much you belong to Aomichi, at least now it doesn't seem to him to be much different from the Edogawa Shoba, where he was in junior high school.

Neither can you completely ignore the kindness released by the seniors like Takuya Kimura, but you can't go beyond the boundaries of his heart, and how to grasp this scale is also a difficult problem.

The fifteen-year-old young man, after a long sigh in the entanglement, got up and threw the finished drink bottle into the corresponding recycling bin, and then walked slowly back to his room.

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock set by Yukiichi rang on time.

Yukiichi also turned over with difficulty, fumbling for the alarm clock placed on the cabinet.

After pressing the alarm clock, I closed my eyes and lay on the bed for another ten minutes before I got up and lifted the quilt, picked up my glasses and put them on, and found that the bed next to me was already empty.

Yukiichi also stood up and stretched.,Walked to the window and looked down.,Sure enough, I saw the second- and third-grade seniors warming up in the open space downstairs.。。

After finishing the independent practice last night, Senior Dong pulled him to talk until 24 o'clock in the middle of the night, and it was so energetic to be able to get up so early.

After going to the bathroom for a brief wash, Yukiichi also changed into his team uniform, put on his sneakers, pushed open the door and walked out, ready to go down to participate in morning training with the others.
