Chapter 114: The Quarterfinals (2)
"Whew!"
Don't hesitate, hit the ball as soon as it comes, just aim at the ball and swing the bat directly, Fukuda Taro danced his arms according to the instructions of Kataoka Superintendent, and swept the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Huh!"
The swept metal bat rejoins the baseball that is once again speeding from the pitcher's mound above home plate.
"Ping!"
With a crisp hit, Taro Fukuda poured all his strength into the metal bat and swept the baseball away from the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
The baseball flew backwards and flew backwards after being hit, and the high-flying baseball successfully flew over the infield towards the right outfield.
"Right outfield!" Yokohama's catcher, Nagasho Fukuda, immediately stood up and shouted at the garrison.
Yokohama's right fielder Kenji Sato was desperately rushing forward, but the flying baseball landed on the lawn that had just entered the right field, making it impossible for him to pick up the baseball in time and pass it back to first base.
Taro Fukuda had already dropped his bat and started running after hitting the baseball, and by the time he ran to the first base, Yokohama's right fielder Kenji Sato had just picked up the baseball that was still rolling on the lawn; Seeing this, he could only stop, take off the protective gear on his body and hand it to the team members who came to get it.
Next up was Yuki Tanaka, a second baseman with a very fast foot, who smiled and waved his bat, and then moved his shoulders, neck and wrists before raising his bat and waiting for the strike.
Ken Kawakaku looked at Yuki Tanaka, who was standing on the batting area, he was hit by the opponent on first base in the last round, and if he let the opponent go to base again, it would be impossible for them not to lose points in this inning.
In this way, it is necessary to strike out the opponent.
Thinking so, Ken Kawakaku threw the baseball in his hand according to the code that Fukuda Nagaga had compared to him, and the sharp white light shot straight out of his palm, and quickly went straight to home plate.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
At 148km/h, the bottom of the scoreboard shows the speed of the ball thrown by Ken Kawakaku, which surprised many spectators who watched the game.
"A high-speed pitcher who can control the ball accurately?"
"This ball speed alone can attract a bunch of scouts, not to mention precise ball control."
"The pitcher of the Qingdao Road is not slow at the ball speed, and the maximum ball speed just now seems to be 148 km/h."
"But the two of them give people a completely different feeling in pitching, there is a certain gap between the two sides in the accuracy of ball control, Yokohama's pitcher gives people a stronger sense of oppression, Qingdao's pitcher is a little worse in this regard, and the difference between the ace of the team is quite big."
The talk of the spectators in the stands could not be transmitted to the players of Seichi and Yokohama who were playing.
At this time, Ken Kawakaku took the baseball that catcher Fukuda Naga passed back to him and carried it behind him.
He first looked at the Qingdao runner at first base, then turned back to see the code that catcher Fukuda Nagashi was comparing to him, nodded, and after making a gesture of preparing to pitch, he suddenly turned his body quickly and threw the baseball in his hand to first base.
First baseman Yasumasa Takagi stretched out his sleeve to catch the baseball thrown by the ace, and Taro Fukuda, a runner on the Qingdao Road, quickly pounced back on the first base at the moment when the opponent's ace suddenly turned.
“safe.“
First base judges flatten their arms to signal that the runner is still safe.
Ken Kawakaku took the baseball that Yasumasa Takagi passed back to him, once again assumed a posture of preparing to pitch, and looked in the direction of the white of the first base again, but unfortunately Taro Fukuda did not leave the base bag of the first base at all, so he had to concentrate on dealing with the hitter at home plate, turned his head and quickly shook his arm towards the home plate, and threw the baseball in the palm of his hand.
"Whew!"
Yuki Tanaka stared at the baseball galloping from the pitcher's mound and swept the metal bat out with great force.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
With the sound of a metal bat colliding violently with a baseball, the baseball flew straight upside down.
"Boom!"
Unfortunately, the force was too strong, and the baseball flew over the infield and then on first base, and smashed into the area beyond the sideline.
"Out of bounds!"
On the pitcher's hill, Kawakaku Ken looked at the direction where the baseball flew out and his face was a little ugly, if it weren't for the fact that the hitter of Qingdao didn't play well...... It seems that we can't focus too much on the runners on the base, and first concentrate on solving the Qingdao hitter Yuki Tanaka in front of you, and then take the first number of outs of the game.
As for Taro Fukuda, the runner on the base, I'll leave it to my own teammates to solve it.
"Huh!"
Murasuke swung his metal bat and swept it towards the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"Ping!"
With a bang, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound soared into the sky.
On the pitcher's mound, Ken Kawakaku looked at the baseball that was knocked out in surprise.
"Smack!"
He could only watch as the baseball flying in the air flew over the infield and rushed into the left field, until it flew into the depths of the left field, then lost its momentum and fell on the lawn of the left field, and was put into the ball sleeve by the Yokohama left fielder who arrived in time, Kazuki Echizen, and then took out the baseball and turned around and passed it to second base.
"Haha!"
After running to the first base with a smile, Murasuke Omura continued to sprint towards second base not far away, but unfortunately not far away, he found that Yokohama's left fielder Kazuki Echizen had picked up the baseball and was about to pass it back to second base, so he had no choice but to turn around and run back.
At the same time, Seido runner Taro Fukuda managed to make a splash before Yokohama's second baseman Shirai passed the baseball to third base with his super fast footwork.
"Murasuke, well done!"
"It's a pity, I almost got to second base."
"Don't worry, just let East send them back to home plate."
The rest area on the Qingdao side is very lively, but the rest area on the Yokohama side is a little quieter in comparison.
Yokohama's catcher Nagasho Fukuda had already run up to the pitcher's mound at this time, and was talking to their ace Ken Kawakaku, who nodded, with a smile on his face, patted Nagasho Fukuda on the back, and signaled that he had nothing to do with it.
When the game restarted, Kawakaku nodded after receiving the catcher's code to him, stood up straight, strode with his left foot, and waved his arm to throw the baseball in his hand.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!".
“Strike.“
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound staggered with the bat wielded by hitter Dong Kiyokuni, and catcher Nagashi Fukuda moved the ball cover slightly to catch the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound.
