Chapter 243: Qingdao vs Oita Kiryu (15)

ps: I originally wanted to break it for only one day, but I didn't expect it to be three days, I'm really sorry, book friends.

In a situation where there were people on second and third base and two out, Qingdao pitcher Hiroshi Sakai and Kiryu six bats Wakamatsu Masahiro entangled six balls, and after changing the ball count to two good balls and two bad balls plus three throw-ins, the low ball in the inside corner that he threw with his arm was hit by Kiryu six bats Wakamatsu Masahiro and flew out.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

After the baseball, which was knocked off by Masahiro Wakamatsu, landed on the sand next to the second base bag, it evaded the interception of the second baseman Yuki Tanaka and rolled smoothly into the lawn of the middle field.

Nakamidfielder Daiki Murasuke bent over and reached out to pick up the rolling baseball, looked up at third base and home plate, and immediately stepped over to Chris at home plate.

"Smack!"

When Chris stood in front of home plate and spread his sleeve to catch a pass from Murasuke senior, runner Takuma Hori also stepped over the home plate at this time to score Kiryu's fourth point of the game.

“Run.“

Chris's right leg took a step back, stepped on the home plate behind him, and waved his arm to pass the baseball he had just received to Senior Higashi at third base, asking him to touch and kill Sho Nakata, a runner who was trapped between third base and home plate, and score the third outs to end the bottom half of the eighth inning.

“retire.“

Runner Sho Nakata immediately turned around and ran towards home plate after seeing the catcher's pass, but unfortunately third baseman Higashi Kiyokuni immediately returned the baseball to the catcher after receiving the pass, catcher Chris opened the ball sleeve in his left hand to catch the baseball passed to him by Higashi Sena, and then turned around and touched the runner Sho Nakata who ran in front of him with the ball cover holding the baseball, and knocked him out.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

Chris took the baseball out of his sleeve and handed it to the officiating judge, then smiled and trotted back to the rest area on the side of first base with his teammates.

In the first half of the ninth inning, Kiryu pitcher Michichi threw a mid-low ball with a wave of his arm, which was hit by the beater Hiroshi Ota, and then flew into the right field.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

Second baseman Takuma Hori looked up at the baseball flying from home plate as he ran from the infield into the right outfield, raised his left hand upwards, opened his case to catch the baseball that fell from the air, and knocked runner Hiroshi Ota out.

After sending Chris to base with a touch ball due to a pitching error, Nakado Yoshi asked him to knock out a bocce ball that rolled past the pitcher's mound when he faced Yagami Yagami (substitute hit), who was next to the next nine batters.

“out.“

First baseman Masanki Yamaguchi ran over from first base and caught the boccia ball knocked out by the hitter in a crouching position, then immediately turned around and passed the ball to first base, knocking out runner Yagami who was rushing to first base.

After the Qingdao batter Fukuda Taro came on the court to strike, Kiryu pitcher Michichi made a violent throw on the first ball, directly sending the runner Chris on the base to third base in one go, and his state became worse because of this violent shot, and then directly sent the hitter Fukuda Taro to base with a good ball and three bad balls.

Yuki Tanaka, who followed him on the pitcher, swung his bat and knocked the ball from the low corner of the outside corner after the pitcher threw one good ball and three bad balls.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

By the time Nakamatsu Masahiro ran to the edge of the home run near the home run wall, bent down to pick up the baseball next to the outfield sideline, and turned around to pass to second baseman Takuma Hori, who was behind second base, Aodo runner Chris had already run back to home plate to score another point for Aomichi.

“Run.“

Aodo runner Taro Fukuda strode past third base, turned his head to look at second base and the middle fielder, and after realizing that Kiryu's second baseman had received a pass from the middle fielder, he turned around and ran back to third base in a hurry.

When facing Tetsuya Yuuki, a three-star boy of Aomichi who came on the court behind Yuki Tanaka, Yushi Nakamichi barely knocked him out with three good and two bad balls, ending the first half of the ninth game.

In the second half of the ninth inning, after two throw-ins and a bad ball, Sakai Yutoyo threw a straight ball with a low position in the outside corner, and the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 141km/h allowed the batter to stagger past the flying baseball.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

Takahiro Koyama, a third-year catcher who was substituted in the eighth game, was knocked out by Yusan Sakai because he missed his swing.

“out.“

Kiryu came out with eight bats, and after two good and one bad balls, he swung his bat and hit an infield short shot.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The baseball that was speeding from home plate landed in front of the Qingdao shortstop Taro Fukuda, who grabbed the baseball bouncing at him in a crouching position and put his hands on his abdomen, and then immediately turned and waved his arms to pass the ball to first base.

"Bang!"

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman, opened his ball sleeve to catch the baseball passed to him by Senior Fukuda, and brought out the runner who was running the base, and Bo Zheng blocked it.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

As soon as Kiryu hit the middle corner of the middle corner with a swing of his bat as soon as he came on the court, Yuki Sakai threw an arm in the middle corner.

"Smack!"

The baseball flying from home plate was hit by a swing and bat was ejected into the sand in front of the left hitting area, and then flew in the direction of first base, where first baseman Tetsuya Yuki crouched behind the first base bag and opened his sleeve to catch the baseball bouncing towards him.

“retire.“

Tetsuya Yuuki caught the bounced baseball, got up and ran back to first base to knock out the runner Yoshi Nakamichi, who was running the base, and ended their second match with Kiryu Osaka.

After the runner was blocked, Yu Sakai smiled and trotted to home plate with the rest of the group, waiting for the line behind him to salute.

"Rites."

Seido and Kiryu were lined up on opposite sides of home plate, took off their hats and saluted with the referee next to them, and then shook hands with each other before they dispersed.

"Seido High School defeated Kiryu High School with a score of 10:4 to win the second round and enter the third round, and their opponent is the winner between Kiyomine High School and Fukui Shogaku, who will play the second round tomorrow."

After singing the school song, the Qingdao people ran to the audience where the support group and cheerleaders were, took off their hats and bowed, and then ran back to the rest area on the side of the first base to sort out the backpacks and equipment they had brought with them. After the subsequent interview, they were going to leave the Hanshin Koshien Stadium and return to the hotel where they were staying.

In an interview, Superintendent Kataoka was asked by reporters if he was suffering from heat stroke or other physical discomfort because Seido's ace Yagami had not played. Or is it injured? That's why he wasn't arranged.

Superintendent Kataoka didn't hide this, and directly stated that this was his tactical arrangement, so that the ace could take a good rest so that he could have more physical strength to prepare for the next game.
