Chapter 274: Seido vs Toyo Ohimeji (7)
Shortstop Taro Fukuda, who ran from left to right, was still a short distance away from second base, so he could only watch as the baseball that rolled from the infield rolled over the second base without being intercepted, and rolled forward into the lawn of the middle field.
"Smack!"
Deep in the field, Nakanomitan Daiki Murasuke crouches down with his left hand to catch the baseball rolling towards him.
Running player Hayashi Qiliao, who had already crossed first base, looked up and saw that the middle fielders in Qingdao had picked up the baseball that had rolled over, then turned back and returned to the base bag on first base, reached out and took off the handguard at the elbow and the batting gloves on his hand, and handed them together to the player who came to pick up something.
"In the first half of the third inning, the attack of Toyo Ohimeji High School, four bats, third baseman, Miyake-kun."
When hitter Anta Miyake raised his bat high and turned his head to look at him, Yagami raised his right foot, stepped forward, and threw a fast ball with lateral displacement to the center of the outside corner towards home plate at a speed of 145km/h.
"Whew!"
"Ding!"
Kota Miyake holds a baseball thrown by a pitcher in a short baseball spot, allowing the flying baseball to bounce into the sand in front of the left-hit area after hitting the baseball he pushed.
"Smack!"
Yagami quickly ran down the pitcher's mound, bent over and reached for the rolling baseball, then turned and waved the ball to second base.
"Bang!"
Shortstop Taro Fukuda, who had already run to second base, reached forward and caught the baseball that pitcher Yagami swung at him, and blocked the runner Ryoshi Hayashizaki, who was about to slide to second base on his back.
“out.“
When the second base judge raised his right hand to signal that the runner was blocked, the shortstop Taro Fukuda, who was standing next to the second base bag, had already waved his arm sideways and passed the baseball he had just received to first base.
"Whew!"
"Smack!"
With his right foot on the base bag of first base, first baseman Dong Kiyokuni turned sideways to the runner who was running the base, raised the ball sleeve of his left hand upwards and grabbed the baseball that Fukuda swung over, and blocked the runner Miyake Kota who stepped on the base bag immediately behind.
“out.“
After the runner strides past first base, the first base judge clenches his right hand into a fist and raises it, signaling that the attacker of Toyo Ōhimeji has been blocked out by the Seimchi defender.
Yagami Ye opened his ball sleeve to take the baseball he passed from Higashi-senpai, and then gestured to the surrounding players for a two-out game, and at the same time, the radio sound above the court sounded again: "In the first half of the third inning, the attack of Toyo Ohimeji High School, five bats, foreign fielders, Kashiwahara-kun." ”
Kashiwahara Daiki took his feet on the left shot area, grabbed the grip of the bat with both hands and held it high, and turned his head to look at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
Yagami threw a curveball over the batter's shoulder and diagonally down to the center of the outside corner at 129km/h.
"Bang!"
When the hitter Kashiwahara Daiki did not swing the bat, catcher Yukiichi also opened his sleeve to catch the baseball that had decreased due to the high landing point and ball speed.
“good shot.“
When the presiding judge raised his right hand to make a decision, Yukiichi also took the baseball out of the ball sleeve, raised his right hand and threw the ball back to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Next to him, Kashiwahara Daiki waved the bat with his right hand, and after turning to look at the rest area on the side of first base, he grabbed the bat with his right hand and spun it up in front of him, then turned his head to look at the pitcher while putting his left hand in the grip position, waiting for his pitch.
"Whew!"
In accordance with the code given to him by Miyuki, Yagami raised his right foot, stepped forward, and waved his left hand holding the baseball downwards to throw a curveball that fell diagonally from close to the hitter's elbow to the middle of the non-good ball at home plate at a speed of 124 km/h.
"Huh!"
"Ping!"
As soon as the pitcher's baseball fell diagonally out of the strike zone, it was struck by a bat swung by the batter Daiki Kashiwahara, causing the baseball to bounce off the sand in front of the right hit area in the collision with the bat.
"Smack!"
The baseball hit by the batter landed in the infield, bounced off the sideline to the left, and rolled over the right waiting area after landing again.
"Out of bounds!" The referee raised his hands upwards to signal that the ball was a throw-in.
Yukiichi also took the new baseball from the chief judge, rubbed his hands on the surface of the ball, and then reached out to the Yagami senior on the pitcher's mound.
"Whew!"
After the batter raised his bat and prepared to strike, Yagami raised his right leg forward, withdrew his left leg to exert force, and his left hand, which was holding the baseball, swung forward and threw the baseball in his hand towards home plate.
"Boom!"
The baseball, which was speeding from the pitcher's mound at a speed of 144 km/h, slammed directly into the sand next to the home plate (right) due to the pitcher's fingers slipping and exerting too much force.
"Bang!"
The presiding judge took out a new baseball from the bag on his waist and handed it to the catcher, and Yukiichi returned the baseball in the sleeve to the presiding judge, stretched out his right hand to take the new baseball, and reached out to throw it to Yagami senior on the pitcher's mound.
After wiping his left hand on his trouser leg and swinging it vigorously, Yagami apologized to Miyuki at home plate for his mistake before reaching out to take the new baseball he had passed.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
"Bang!"
Yagami Yagami swung his arm and threw a straight ball (131km/h) in the inside corner that caused the hitter to swing the bat, but because of the effect of Kashiwahara Daiki's bat sweeping through the low area of the inside corner, Mikoichi did not open the case in time to catch the baseball flying from under the bat, but let it hit his own ball cover and then fell to the ground.
"Smack!"
After using too much force to swing the bat, causing a 180-degree change in the direction of his body, Kashiwahara released the bat in his right hand before the referee raised his right hand and ran to first base.
“Strike.“
After the referee raised his right hand to make a decision, catcher Yukiichi had already bent down to pick up the baseball next to him, then stepped sideways and forward, waving his right hand to pass the ball to first base.
"Smack!"
First baseman Dong Kiyokuni stretched out his ball sleeve forward, grabbed the baseball passed towards him by his cute junior, and blocked the oncoming Kashiwahara Daiki.
“retire.“ The first base judge clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it, signaling Seichi as the defender to take the third out, ending the first half of the third inning.
Yagami Yagami, who ran back to the rest area, and his teammates gathered at the entrance and exit of the rest area hurriedly walked into the rest area after a simple cheer.
"Thank you." Yagami reached out and took the ice water handed over by Chris, and drank it down.
After returning the cup to Chris, Yagami put aside the pitcher's ball cover and cap, first picked up the batting glove and reached out to put it on, then the gauntlet at the elbow of his left hand, and finally reached for the bat and batting cap that Chris handed to him.
Nodding to Chris, Yagami reached out to put on his batting cap and stepped out of the lounge.
"In the second half of the third inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, eight bats, pitchers, Yagami-kun."
Reaching out and grabbing another glass of ice water, Yagami took his bat in his left hand and trotted towards the batting area at home plate amid the sound of the radio sounding above the court.
