Chapter 284: Seido vs Toyo Ōhimeji (17)

"Whew!"

"Boom!"

Because the ball speed (135km/h) was too fast, Fei Shixin also threw a baseball with his arm directly on the sand in front of home plate, and then bounced forward to the catcher's body.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Shinichiro Mizuta stretched out his arms and grabbed the pitcher's high slide (131 km/h) from the inside corner.

“balls.“

The referee raised his left hand into a fist and raised three fingers upwards with his right hand to signal to the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and the number of bad balls was now three.

“three.“

"Whew!"

"Smack!"

Fei Shixin also threw a 115km/h ball with his arm and smashed directly into the ground at home plate, and then bounced forward and grabbed it with both hands that were folded in the abdomen.

“Base on Balls.“

Kotaro Tojima, who was escorted by the pitcher's four bads, walked to the side of the batting area, handed the bat and the handguard he had taken off to his teammates who came to help, and then turned and trotted over to first base.

"Whew!"

After throwing two diversion balls at first base, Fei Shixin also swung his arm to throw a slider in the low corner of the outside corner to home plate with a speed of 123km/h.

"Bang!"

Shinichiro Mizuta opened his case to catch the flying baseball into it, and the chief judge behind him raised it with a fist in his right hand.

“good shot.“

"Whew!"

"Ding!"

After three bad balls and two first base balls, Taro Fukuda swung his bat to the pitcher's low outside corner (ball speed of 116km/h), allowing the baseball to fly right over the left batting area and fall to the sand outside the field.

"Out of bounds!" The referee raised his hands upwards to signal to the hitter and catcher next to him, then took out a new baseball from his bag and threw it to the pitcher in front of him.

Fei Shixin also took off his hat to the catcher and hitter at home plate, and then reached out to take the new baseball passed to him by the officiator.

"Whew!"

He stepped forward with his leg up, his left leg pushed back, and his left hand with the baseball swung out from the back to the front to throw a belt-high slider towards home plate at a speed of 116 km/h.

"Ping!"

Because the ball was too slow, Taro Fukuda swung the bat he raised in his hand and easily hit the baseball with a small lateral displacement to the high position of the outside corner, causing it to fall on the sand in front of the right side.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which bounced forward to the infield, rolled all the way to the lawn of the center-left outfield after avoiding an interception by third baseman Ryota Miyake.

“safe.“

By the time left fielder Yuki Inoue ran out of the depths of the field, squatted and reached for the baseball that rolled towards him, and then stepped forward to pass the ball, both runner Kotaro Tojima and runner Taro Fukuda were safely on base.

Taro Fukuda stood next to the base bag and raised it with a fist in his right hand as a sign of his excitement, and they held on to the four-point difference until the bottom half of the sixth inning, when they finally saw the hope of scoring from their opponents!

After seeing Namigi, who had come to help with things, walked towards him, Taro Fukuda lowered his right hand, first handed him the gauntlet that had been taken off from the elbow of his left hand, and then bent down to take off the foot guard at his left calf, and reached out to throw it to Namiki, who was about to leave.

After doing all this, Taro Fukuda crossed his hands on his hips and looked sideways at the people of Toyo Oekiji who had gathered on the pitcher's mound because of the request for a timeout.

"In the second half of the sixth inning, Seido High School's attack, second baseman, second baseman, Tanaka-kun."

After the timeout at Toyo Ōhimeji and after the referee who was cleaning home plate in front of him got up and left, Yuki Tanaka, who was standing outside the batting area, stepped into the left hitting area, swept the ground with his foot, and swung forward with his bat in both hands, turning his head to look at the pitcher's mound while waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

Fei Shixin also threw a knee-high slider into home plate with an inside corner speed of 125km/h.

"Ping!"

When the pitcher's baseball moved laterally to the mid-low position, Yuki Tanaka swung the bat and flew out, and it was a low ball that flew towards first base.

"Bang!"

Ryosuke Okada, the first baseman who was crouching behind the first base, stretched out his ball sleeve to the left, trying to catch the baseball that bounced towards him after the first base hit the ground, but he didn't expect that the baseball that bounced next to the first base bag would break through the interception of the ball cover and bounce upwards under the force of the impact.

"Smack!"

The ball, which bounces upwards with the help of the defender's ball suit, falls on the lawn next to the right field touchline, then rolls forward and jumps off the right field's sideline, making it a court second base.

At the same time, Kotaro Tojima, a runner at former second base, took the opportunity to run back to home plate in one go and score the first point of the game for Seongchi.

“Run.“

Yuki Tanaka, who ran to first base, raised his right hand and swung it vigorously like Taro Fukuda before him, excited to break the deadlock of the game and win the first point of the game.

"Slap, slap~slap~" Everyone in the rest area on the side of the third base was applauding Tanaka's hit.

"Scored!"

"Tanaka, well done!"

"Principal Tian played well!"

……

"Come on, Senior Fujii!"

"You have to get out! Fujii. ”

"Agui, fight again when you see it!"

In the audience, the members of the Second and Third Army, who were originally like a pool of stagnant water, had a qualitative change in their external emotional performance because of Yuki Tanaka's second-base hit, and they stood up one after another, while slapping the shouting microphone in their hands vigorously, while loudly cheering for the players who hit the game, and the wind club next to them was playing Fujii Taka's cheering song, and the cheerleading girls were dancing to the rhythm of the music.

"In the second half of the sixth inning, Seido High School's attack, three bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun."

Takashi Fujii, who stepped into the batting area, spread his legs outward, grabbed the bat with his left hand and swung it, leaned it on his shoulder, bent back, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher, he grasped the bat with both hands and lifted it.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

Hishi Shin also waved his arm to the home plate and threw a stretch ball (ball speed of 117km/h) that would hit the ground, and catcher Shinichiro Mizuda hurriedly put his ball on the sand to catch the baseball thrown by the pitcher.

"Whew!"

After throwing a bad ball on the first ball, Fei Shixin also followed the new code of the catcher's comparison and threw a special slider near the knee in the inside corner to home plate, with a ball speed of 116km/h.

"Bang!"

Shinichiro Mizuta spread the ball under the low center and grabbed the baseball that had moved laterally from the hitter's knee to the good ball zone and then began to fall slightly diagonally.

"Whew!"

Fei Shixin also threw a near-belt slider that moved laterally from behind the home plate to the right shot area from the back of home plate at a speed of 128km/h.

"Huh!"

When Takayo Fujii swung his bat into the good zone, catcher Shinichiro Mizuta opened his holster and caught the baseball moving laterally above the right hitting zone.

"Bang!".

The referee faced the bat, which the hitter had swung to the good ball area, and walked to the left zone, raising his right hand to question the first base judge in front of him.

“safe.“ In the face of the presiding judge's questioning, the first base judge directly raised his hands flat, indicating that the beater's swing did not exceed the boundary.
