"Whew!"

The baseball sped out of the pitcher's mound like a flash of white light towards home plate.

"Huh!"

The metal baseball, which was danced by Yuta Ohno, intersected with the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound over home plate, and then each began to move away from the established trajectory.

"Bang!"

Yuta Ohno twisted his body and swung the bat past home plate, but he could only hear the muffled sound of a baseball rushing into the sleeve behind him.

“Strike out.“

Yagami Ye successfully knocked out the Tokai Dajiafu with a stick and Yuta Ohno strikeout.

In the stands on the Qingdao side, the corners of Chris's mouth, who came to support, rose slightly, and the hand holding the microphone tightened.

Soon, Yagami Night knocked out the East China Sea Dajiafu two stick Sasamoto strikeouts, and then with the cooperation of other team members, he picked up and killed the Donghai Dajiafu catcher and three-stick bear Kenda, and got three outs in the first half of the first game.

In the stands, the players of the second and third armies of the Qingdao Baseball Club were cheering for Yagamiya's performance.

"Yagami, what a good vote!"

"Three up and three down, it's so beautiful!"

"Senior Yagami is really powerful."

The Seido people ran back to the rest area, and Superintendent Kataoka looked at Yagami who had returned to the rest area with his hands on his chest and asked, "Have you distributed your physical strength reasonably?" ”

"Well," Yagami nodded, "If you can, it's no problem to shoot the whole game." ”

Of course, Superintendent Kataoka will definitely not let Yagami Night, who has been on the court for the past few days, finish the whole game, after all, the spring Kanto tournament is not too important a game, and there is no need to consume too much physical strength and energy of the pitchers for this; There may be pitchers who choose to burn themselves out because of Koshien, but there are certainly no pitchers who choose to burn themselves for a spring college field tournament.

……

“Strike out.“

"Three outs, it's game over!"

The 2-hour-22-minute match ended with catcher Naoya Kuroza catching the last ball thrown by pitcher Jinguji with a wave of his arm, and the match between Seichi and Tokai Daikofu came to an end.

Seido won the semi-finals of the Spring Kanto Tournament with a score of 4:3, causing the stands on Seido's side to become a sea of joy, and everyone was high-fived each other in celebration.

On the field, the players of Qingdao and Tokai Dajiafu lined up in two teams to salute and shake hands with each other amid the sound of air raid sirens.

"Hopefully we'll have a chance to fight each other in the future." Dong Qingguo shook the hand of the four sticks of Suzuki in the East China Sea Dajiafu and said with a smile.

"In that case, I hope we can meet in Koshien." Suzuki said with a smile to Higashi Kiyokoku.

"Haha, I'll see you then." Dong Qingguo laughed and shook the hand of the next contestant.

"See you in Koshien." Mitsui said, holding Yagami's hand.

"See you in Koshien." Yagami also shook the other party's hand back.

……

"Sakai, tomorrow you are the starting pitcher, catcher Miyuki, first baseman Higashi, second baseman Tanaka, third baseman Yuuki, shortstop Fukuda, left field Kuraza, Nakanonomurasuke, right field Tojima; Above. ”

"Yes!" The person whose name was called by Kataoka replied loudly.

Subsequently, Superintendent Kataoka deliberately said to the two of them, Takuya Kimura and Koichiro Tanba, "Tanba, Kimura, you two should remember to warm up after tomorrow's game, because I will let you play at any time, even if the situation on the field is not bad." ”

"Yes." Koichiro Tanba and Takuya Kimura both nodded vigorously.

It seems that Kataoka's arrangement is similar to that of other schools, and for a regional convention with a busy schedule such as the Spring Kanto Convention, it is possible for the participating teams to choose to play after reaching the semifinals and finals if they do not let the aces and main pitchers play from the beginning. Otherwise, teams like Seido, Yokohama, and Ichisan, who have allowed aces and main pitchers to play from the beginning, will not let them play again when they play in the back.

In Yokohama, for example, if they had managed to beat Seimchi in the previous three rounds, they would have had the next two or three bench pitchers who couldn't bowl regularly to play the entire game in the semifinals. At this point, the arrangements of Qingdao and the three major cities are similar, and they have decided to rest the ace (main pitcher) for tomorrow's game, and the substitute pitcher will play the whole game instead.

……

May 18, Utsunomiya Kiyohara Stadium.

In the expectation of everyone, accompanied by the sound of the air defense siren that sounded on time at 12 o'clock at noon, the Qingdao pitcher Yu Sakai waved his arm and threw the baseball in the palm of his hand.

"Whew!"

The finals of the Spring Kanto Convention have officially begun.

"Ah, the ball played by the Qingdao three sticks Yuuki-kun was caught and killed by the guards of the three major cities in the city, three out, and the third game is over."

"Neither side scored in this game, the current score is 1:1, Qingdao and the city three do not give in to each other. The next game is the center line of the three major cities in the game, does the three major cities have a chance to score in this game? Let's wait and see! ”

As the final of the Spring Kanto Tournament, it was definitely broadcast live on the TV station, and the passionate broadcast of the commentator also made the audience in front of the TV set enthusiastic with the game on the field.

"Come on, senior!"

"You must fight out, Long Guang!"

"You're on target, Ohmae!"

In the stands, the players of the city's three, second, and third armies were all loudly cheering for the players who were ready to go on the field.

Takahiro Omae, the city's third three-bat who walked into the batting area, swung his bat and waited for the strike, and Seitchi's pitcher Hiroshi Sakai threw an outside corner and an inside corner at the signal of catcher Miyuki Kazuya, and the third pitch had the pitcher throw the ball into the low corner area.

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Takahiro Ohmae stared at the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound, took a step back to widen the distance, and swung the bat in his hand vigorously, knocking the flying baseball directly out; The baseball bounced a few times after landing in the infield, only to be caught by Taro Fukuda, a Qingdao shortstop who ran over to catch the ball, with a ball cover, and then turned around and took the baseball out of the ball cover and passed it to first base.

"Smack!"

Seido's first baseman, Kiyokuni Higashi, stepped on the base bag with one foot and stretched the other foot as far out as he could, opening his case and waiting for shortstop Taro Fukuda to pass the ball to him.

“out.“

When Takakhiro Ohmae swooped forward, Higashi Kiyokuni just received a pass from Taro Fukuda first, and the first base judge immediately signaled for the hitter to be out.

"Tanaka, let's hit a hit!".

"Come on, Yohei!"

Yohei Tanaka, who was standing in the batting area, swung his bat first, then turned his head to look at the rest area of the city's three major cities, and after receiving the code from Superintendent Tahara, he raised his bat and waited for the strike.
