Chapter 317: Qingdao vs Zhilu Wakayama (21)

"Whew!"

After the ball count reached two good and one bad, Jinguji threw a belt-high straight ball to home plate with a wave of his arm, and sped forward at a speed of 145km/h.

"Huh!"

Kiyotsugu Uewa swung the bat that he had erected in his hand and threw the straight ball that was thrown away and high to the left.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!" The baseball hit by the batter flew straight off the infield sideline and landed on the lawn outside the field.

Kiyotsugi Kamiha, who was standing outside the batting area, waited for the referee to pass the new baseball to the pitcher before stepping forward and walking back to the left-hitting area.

Sweep the ground with your feet before standing on the batting area, holding the bat in both hands and leaning on your left shoulder, turning your head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound and waiting for the pitcher to be ready to start pitching.

"Whew!"

Jinguji waved his arm and threw a belt-high diagonal straight ball that was too high inside, causing the baseball that flew to the pitcher's chest to move diagonally to the right at a speed of 140 km/h, and flew just above the back of the good ball area, and when the baseball began to fall, it was already in a non-good ball area on the right side of the good ball area.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's baseball was caught by the catcher as it moved above the right-hitting area.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

Pitcher Jinguji threw a near belt curveball at home plate with a wave of his arm, and the baseball in front of the hitter's belt flew at a speed of 128 km/h, and was hit by the batter Kiyotsugu Kamiha's swing as it fell diagonally to the right to the edge of the low position in the outside corner.

"Ping!"

Kiyotsugu Kamiwa glanced up at the baseball that was flying towards the right field, then immediately turned around and ran to first base, and dropped the baseball in his left hand outside the left hitting area.

"Smack!"

Hiroshi Ota, the right fielder who ran from deep in the right field to the middle area, stood not far from the touchline, spread his sleeve upwards, and caught the high flying ball that flew from the hitter.

“retire.“ Standing on the sideline, the right lineman made a fist with his right hand and raised it forward, signaling that the runner was picked up by the guard and eliminated, and the first half of the sixth game was over.

Jingujiichi stretched out his hand and high-fived his teammates who were waiting for their return, and Superintendent Kataoka, who was also standing at the entrance and exit of the rest area, nodded, and then walked into the rest area.

At the request of Superintendent Kataoka, the Seido players who had returned from the field gathered at the entrance and exit with the exception of the pitcher, and asked them to review their previous mistakes in the defense and discuss the tactical arrangements for the future.

"Qingdao, come on!"

"Come on!!"

After 40 seconds, the Qingdao players who put their hands on their knees in a circle cheered themselves on and dispersed, and at the same time, the announcer's voice sounded from above the court: "In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of the Qingdao High School, Eight Sticks, Catcher, Kuraza-kun." ”

After the announcer finished broadcasting, Naoya Kuraza was leveling the ground in the right hitting area with his right foot, and after leveling the ground, he tapped the home plate with the bat in his left hand, and stood on the right hitting area with his legs in front and back, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher's mound, he raised the bat and waited for the strike.

"Whew!"

Pitcher Takamori Takenaka waved his arm and threw a belt-high slow curveball bat at home plate at 105km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball that fell diagonally from the top of the left batting area to the outside of the good ball area was hit by the bat, which was swung down by the batter, but unfortunately it was not handled properly, and the baseball smashed to the right on the sand in the infield in the collision with the bat.

"Smack!"

The baseball hit by the beater's swing rolled towards the infield in front of him after landing in the infield, but was grabbed by the outstretched hands of Kento Tatsuda, the third baseman who was crouching in front early.

"Whew!" Kento Tatsuda stepped forward and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base, "Bang! Ryosuke Hiroi, the first baseman standing on the first base, raised his left hand up to grab the baseball of the third baseman, and blocked the runner Naoya Kuraza, who was only one step away from stepping on the base, who was running behind him.

"Out!" When the first baseman raises his sleeve up to catch the pass from the third baseman, the first baseman standing behind the first base looks sideways at the first base's bag to avoid a misjudgment from behind. After the runner strides past first base, the first base judge straightens up, clenches his right hand into a fist and raises it forward.

"In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of Seido High School, Nine Sticks, Pitcher, Jingu Temple-kun."

Jinguji lowered his head and leveled the ground, then put down his right hand that signaled forward, and after turning around in front of him with a bat in his left hand, he held it erect in front of his right shoulder, and turned his head to look at Takasheng Takenaka, who was standing on the pitcher's board, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

Takamori Takenaka swung his arm towards home plate and threw a slow-curling ball near the belt, then moved diagonally from the top of the left hitting area to the outside of the strike zone at a speed of 105 km/h, and when he was about to fall to the ground against the edge of the hit zone, he grabbed the ball cover reached under the trap of Ryohei Hashimoto.

"Bang!"

"Whew!"

After throwing a bad ball on the first ball, Takamori Takenaka followed the catcher's code, raised his leg and stepped forward, flicked his arm to the home plate and threw a knee-high diagonal straight ball at home plate at a speed of 131km/h.

"Ping!"

The pitcher's baseball was about to fly out of the low position area in the inner corner when it was hit by the batter Jinguji and flew high to the left.

"Smack!"

Standing on the yellow-colored lawn in the center-left field, Kazuhei Baba raised his sleeve upwards to catch the baseball that fell from the sky, and knocked out Jinguji who hit the high flying ball.

“out.“

Because Baba Issei didn't catch the baseball thrown out of the sleeve with his right hand, the baseball fell down on the lawn, causing the runner Jinguji, who ran past first base, to be reluctant to quit the game; Seeing this, the first base judge could only walk up to him, clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it upward, explained the situation to him, and then stretched out his left hand to the rest area on the side of third base, telling him to leave the field immediately and return to the rest area of Qingdao Road

"In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a shortstop, and a welfare king." After the players on the field leave the field, the announcer starts to announce the next batter.

"Whew!"

After hitter Taro Fukuda raised his bat high and turned his head to look at him, Takamori Takenaka threw his arm into home plate with a straight diagonal ball with a low path.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's baseball sped past the underside of the hit zone at a speed of 133 km/h, and was caught in the case of a ball sleeve extended forward by the capsule as it approached the ground.

"Well chosen!"

"Look at the ball and then play!"

"Swing the stick hard and send me flying!"

When Taro Fukuda made a fist with his right hand and shook it hard to celebrate that he had made no mistake in his selection, his teammates who stayed in the rest area were also cheering him on in their own way.

"Whew!"

After the batter raised his bat to re-prepare for the strike, Takamori Takenaka swung his arm and threw a straight diagonal ball near the knee to home plate.

"Ping!".

The baseball, which had just flown into the top of home plate from the corner of the hit zone, was hit by the bat, which was swung off by the hitter Taro Fukuda, and smashed to the left on the sand in front of the right hit zone.

"Smack!"
