Chapter 247: Three Rounds of Battle (4)

After taking a few deep breaths and calming down the mood he was starting to get agitated, Yagami followed the instructions given to him by Chris, stepped forward with his legs, waved his arms, and threw an inside corner mid-hole ball into home plate.

"Whew!"

The hitter Takahiro Kanno is half-crouched on the left hitting area, holding the short bat while aiming at the baseball thrown by the pitcher, but the problem is that when the baseball flies from the pitcher's mound to his eyes, he somehow does not point the short bat in his hand out.

"Bang!"

Chris opened his sleeve to catch a 118km/h speed ball thrown by Yagami with his arm.

“good shot.“

Seeing this, the presiding judge raised it in a fist with his right hand to signal that the ball was a good ball.

As Chris got up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and passed it back to the pitcher, hitter Takahiro Kanno took the bat in his right hand, lowered his head and kicked the ground with his right foot a few times, and then tapped the bat on home plate.

Yagami reached out with his right hand to catch the baseball that the catcher had passed to him, then put his hands on his chest, looked up at Chris behind home plate, and nodded at the code he had compared.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Takahiro Kanno swings a low-lying ball from the outside corner of Yagami Night, and the baseball flying from home plate is hit by the bat and flies straight out of the sideline on the third base side, and then falls on the lawn in front of the stands on the third base side.

"Out of bounds!"

The referee took out a new baseball from the bag on his waist and threw it to pitcher Yagami on the pitcher's mound.

Yagami opened the case to catch the baseball passed to him by the officiator, stretched out his left hand and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, then looked up at home plate, took out the baseball from the ball cover with his left hand and spun it, then put it in the ball cover and placed it in front of his chest, waiting for the catcher to give him the code.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!"

Yagami Yagami threw a straight ball in the middle of the high position with a speed of 140km/h, but it was hit again by the bat waved by Takahiro Kanno.

"Out of bounds!"

The pitcher's swing of the baseball was again swung by the batter and flew beyond the touchline on the third base.

Yagami reached out his right hand to take the baseball that Chris passed to him, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder packet, and then stepped on the pitcher's board with his right foot before looking up at the hitter next to home plate and the catcher behind home plate, waiting for Chris to give him his code.

"Whew!"

Yagami throws a two-stit fast ball with a speed of 143 km/h.

"Huh!"

Takahiro Kanno, who mistakenly thought that the pitcher was throwing a ball in the middle and low position, and then aimed the bat in his hand at the middle and low position area to sweep it over, but he did not expect the pitcher to wave his arm and throw the ball in the middle corner.

"Bang!"

The baseball flying from home plate sped underneath the bat swept out by hitter Takahiro Kanno and landed inside the open sleeve of catcher Chris.

“Strike.“

The referee raised his right hand to signal that the batter was knocked out by the defender's pitcher, but what was unexpected was that the batter Takahiro Kanno did not choose to give up because his swing missed, but chose to throw off the bat in his hand and run towards first base before the referee made a decision.

Seeing this, Chris immediately stood up, and took out the baseball from the ball cover and raised his hand to pass it to first base, intending to nip the dying throes of Fukui Shoji and Takahiro Kanno in the bud.

“out.“

First baseman Tetsuya Yuuki opened his sleeve to catch the baseball that catcher Chris waved his arm to, then turned to the right and stepped to pass the ball to second base, and Takahiro Kanno just happened to step behind Tetsuya Yuuki and step on the first base. Seeing this, the presiding judge in front of him also raised his right hand to make his ruling.

"In the second half of the first inning, Fukui Shogao's attack, three bats, pitcher, Aoki-kun."

With Aoki Yu ready, Yagami stepped forward with his leg raised, and swung out of his left hand, which was out of his right hand, and threw a curveball that fell diagonally from the high area of the non-good zone to the low area of the outside corner into home plate.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

The batter Yu Aoki wielded swept through the low area in the middle corner, allowing catcher Chris to open his sleeve and catch the baseball that was speeding from home plate at 116 km/h.

“Strike.“

After the referee raised his right hand to make the decision, Chris got up and took the baseball out of his sleeve and reached out to toss it back to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.

Yu Aoki turned his head to look at the rest area on third base, then refocused his gaze on Yagami Yagami who was standing on the pitcher's mound, swung forward with his bat in both hands, and then raised it high in the air to wait for the pitcher to pitch.

"Whew!"

Yagami followed the catcher's request and threw a high-speed ball that should be able to move from the non-good zone to the high position of the outside corner, but what he didn't expect was that when the baseball moved from the non-good zone to the edge of the good zone, the baseball he threw flew over the good zone.

"Bang!"

Chris spread out his ball at shoulder level with the hitter and caught a baseball with a speed of 143 km/h thrown by Yagami into it.

“bad shot.“ The referee's fingers are pressed against each other like two sides of an equilateral triangle, indicating that the pitcher's throw is bad.

Chris got up and took out the baseball from the ball sleeve, raised his hand and waved it to Yagami in front of him, and Yu Aoki, the hitter next to him, lowered his head and used his feet to level the ground in the hitting area, while holding the bat in his left hand and waving it lightly at his side.

"Whew!"

After Yu Aoki raised his bat high and waited for the strike, Yagami stepped forward with his leg up, and with his left hand behind him, he swung it out and threw a stretch ball that moved diagonally from the mid-point area of the non-good zone to the low position of the outside corner to home plate.

"Bang!"

Yu Aoki, who seemed to notice that the pitcher's shot was likely to be a bad ball, hurriedly stopped the baseball bat that had been swung out, and let Aodo catcher Chris catch the 121km/h stretch ball in the low position of the outside corner.

After the catcher received the pitcher's pitch, the presiding judge did not immediately make a decision, but reached out his left hand to the front first base judge to ask: Did the batter's swing have crossed the corresponding boundary?

“bad shot.“

The first base judge faced the chief judge's questioning and raised his hands directly to signal that the batter was not swinging beyond the allowable range, which also meant that the pitcher's bad ball could not be turned into a good ball.

Yagami opened his case to catch the baseball that Chris passed to him, reached out and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, then took the baseball out of the case and looked up at home plate, glanced at the code that Chris had drawn at him and nodded slightly.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Ping!".

Yu Aoki swung his bat and hit a straight ball from the outside corner with a speed of 142km/h, which Yagami threw at a speed of 142km/h, knocking it off the sideline of the infield and landing on the turf behind the left side of the waiting area.

"Out of bounds!"
