Chapter 136: Qingdao vs Shoshosha (5)
Whether or not Kuraza's idea can succeed is based on the foundation that Fujii will definitely fight short, and if he chooses to attack directly instead of short, Kuraza's idea has no possibility of being realized. And it would be relatively easy for him to knock out the hits from the exhausted Yagami night, so that the Qingdao side would continue to lose points because of it.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
Second baseman Daiki Murasuke caught the baseball that flew after being hit by the seven bats of the Shoshosha, turned around and ran back two steps, and threw the baseball in his hand towards first base.
“out.“
"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."
Yagami let out a sigh of relief, ran down the pitcher's mound, and touched the ball set with catcher Naoya Kuroza on the way back to the rest area, and finally didn't lose a point in the inning.
Back in the rest area, Yagami Yagami asked while helping Kuroza Naoya take off the protective gear on his body, "Kuraza, can you go to the base later?" ”
Naoya Kuroza's hand paused abruptly, and his gaze swept over the scoreboard at the back of the court to understand what he meant.
"I'll do my best, senior."
"If you don't fight, how can you win this game?" When Yagami said this, he showed a look that Naoya Kuroza had never seen on his face.
Kuroza Naoya picked up the hat he needed to wear when he hit the field, walked out with his bat, and said to Yagami behind him in a firm tone, "Senior, I'll go to base." ”
Yagami was putting on his protective gear, his bat was behind Naoya Kuraza, and if he managed to hit base, all he had to do was find a way to send him back to home plate to score.
Naoya Kuraza, who stepped into the batting area, lightly tapped the home plate with his bat, then held it high and waited for the strike.
The pitcher of the Shoshosha is not Kitayama, who has already shown fatigue, but a third-year substitute pitcher, and it seems that the supervisor of the Shoshosha wants to crush them in one fell swoop and no longer give them a chance to equalize the score.
With this in mind, he adjusted his stance again, his legs slightly apart, his knees slightly bent, and his weight lowered.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
Letting go of the first pitch from the pitcher, Kuraza Naoya swung his metal bat at the second ball that flew after him, and knocked the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound with all his might.
"Ping!"
After the baseball was knocked away by Naoya Kuraza, it flew quickly over the area between first and second base, smashed to the ground and bounced into the right field, and the right fielder of the Shoshosha rushed up and hurriedly chased the baseball that flew over.
After rushing to first base, Naoya Kuroza first looked at the situation on the field, and although the second baseman was a little far away from the baseball, the right fielder had already come to the still rolling baseball and picked it up.
In such a situation, he did not have enough time to rush to second base, so he had no choice but to stop and start to take off the protective gear on his body.
After Yagami stood in the hitting area, he swung his bat and made a gesture waiting for the blow.
Although his current striking level is similar to that of Hiroshi Ota, and he is no longer at the bottom of the first army, the current senior Ota basically cannot be one of the nine starters in official competitions, and can only stay on the bench as a substitute most of the time.
Therefore, with his striking strength, it is much more difficult to send the runner back to home plate to score than to let him go to base himself, and if there is a chance, I still hope that Kataoka Supervisor can adjust the batter times between him and Kuraza Naoya, after all, the batting level of the two of them is not much different.
"Whew!"
The first ball thrown by the pitcher of the Shoshosha Club seemed to fly against Yagamiya's waist and abdomen, making him take a step back.
"Bang!"
“ball.“
After re-establishing himself in the batting area, Yagami turned his head to look at the rest area, and Inspector Kataoka did not give him any instructions, so he could only move the wrists of his hands first, and then hold the bat again.
Naoya Kuraza at first base took a few more steps in the direction of second base, and was much farther away from the first base, and also stamped the ground with his foot to attract the attention of the pitcher, and even made a pose ready to throw the ball.
As a result, Kendai Doi, the catcher of the Shosho Society, had to hammer his ball sleeve hard to get the pitcher to return his attention to home plate, and after making a good signal to him, he placed the ball sleeve in the middle of the inside corner.
It can be said that the current third-year substitute pitcher is not as good as the previous Kitayama, if it is not the last inning, even if the Qingdao people are exhausted, there is a greater certainty of reversing the score of the two sides.
At the moment when the pitcher was about to throw the baseball in his hand, Naoya Kuroza sprinted towards second base, and Kendai Doi immediately changed his stance to receive the ball; At the same time, Yagami vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand to interfere with the guards of the Shoshosha Society, helping Kuroza Naoya complete his theft.
Due to Yagami's swing interference, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound eventually flew past Kendai Doi, and by the time he got up to pick up the baseball that flew behind him, Naoya Kuroza had already rushed past second base and was about to rush to third base.
“safe.“ The linesman at the third base division spread his hands evenly and signaled that Naoya had succeeded in stealing the base.
Yagami Yagami, who had regained his footing, hesitated for a moment when choosing between a short fight and a long fight, and finally decided to choose a long fight and make a move to wait for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
The metal bat that was swept by Yagami Ye collided with the white baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound, and the thrust from the bat made Yagami Ye swing the bat out with all his might, looking at the baseball flying away at a very fast speed, Yagami Ye threw off the bat and started to run the base, and at the same time, Kuraza Naoya at third base also ran back towards home plate.
This is a high-flying long-distance play in the field, and the fielders of the Shoshosha never thought that Yagami could still fly the baseball so far under such circumstances, and only ran over when the baseball flew into the outfield. Unfortunately, he was a little slower, and only when the baseball hit the ground and kept rolling on the ground did he run over.
With this hit, Naoya Kuroza ran back to home plate to score another point for Qingdao, pointing to the last point left between the two sides; Yagami also managed to hit first base at this time.
Next up was Kiyochi one batter Taro Fukuda, who sent Yagami to second base with a batting sacrifice shot, and he was blocked out; Yuki Tanaka, the second baseman of the Qingdao road, also gave Yagami a ride with a high-flying sacrifice, and Yagami night, who ran up to third base, was a few steps away from the base bag of third base, and looked at Tetsuya Yuuki, the third baseman of the Qingdao road, who walked into the batting area, waiting for the opportunity to run back to home plate.
“Strike out.“
As a slow-heating pitcher who was unstable in the opening game and needed time to adapt, the new pitcher did not give the Qingdao hitter any chance at this time, and directly knocked out the Qingdao three-bat Tetsuya Yuki to win the first number of outs in the game and end today's practice match.
