Chapter 342: Qingdao Road vs Koma Otomaki (5)
The baseball that the victim swung with a bat flew over the three rooms and then rushed into the outfield.
"Smack!"
Takashi Fujii, a left fielder standing in the center-left field, looked up at the baseball flying in the air, walked six or seven steps from left to right, and then took two steps back, holding up the ball sleeve to catch the flying ball from Junki Watanabe.
“out.“
Junki Watanabe, who ran to first base, was quite unwilling to help his teammates get to third base after seeing that he was killed by a left fielder, but he could only turn around and run back to the rest area on the side of first base.
"In the first half of the second inning, Koma Otomaki Komaki High School's attack, eight bats, second baseman, Honma (straight) kun, back number 16."
After the announcement, Naoki Honma, who was already standing in the right hitting area, waved the bat with his left hand under him, and after looking up at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, he clenched the bat with both hands and raised it high.
"With a bad ball, see what the runners are doing?"
Yagami looked at Chris By's code, nodded, stepped forward with his left foot, and flicked his left hand to home plate to throw a knee straight ball that was out of the way.
"Whew!"
Chris reached forward to catch a baseball flying from the pitcher's mound at 137km/h.
"Bang!"
"Whew!"
After throwing a bad ball at the opening pitch, Yagami waved his left hand towards home plate and threw a knee-high slide ball at a speed of 133km/h.
"Ping!"
A baseball that moves laterally from the top of the front area of the left hitting area to the edge of the outside corner is hit by the bat swung by Naoki Honma, and smashes to the right on the sideline of the left hitting area.
"Boom!"
The baseball hit by the batter landed on the sideline of the left hitting area and bounced forward to the left of the pitcher's mound, then bounced all the way forward to the infield.
"Smack!"
Yuki Tanaka, the second baseman crouched on the sand in front of the right field, stretched out his hands forward and grabbed the baseball that was rolling rapidly from the front.
Yuki Tanaka stepped forward as he got up, flicked his right hand and threw the ball to Kiyokuni Higashi, who was standing on first base, and blocked runner Naoki Honma.
“retire.“ After the runner strides past first base, the first base judge standing in the area behind first base bends his elbow and clenches his right hand upwards to indicate that Qingdao as the defender wins the third outs of the game smoothly, and the two sides switch offense and defense.
"In the second half of the second game, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, the middle fielder, Murasuke-kun, back number 8."
In the second half of the second inning, after the preparation time before the round of defending colt Otomakomai was over, the announcer's voice sounded from the court on time.
Standing in the right-hand zone, Daiki Murasuke waved his bat with his left hand, clenched his hands, flicked the bat above home plate, raised it high, and turned his head to look at Shota Kikuchi on the pitcher's mound, waiting for the ball to be bowled.
"Whew!"
Shota Kikuchi threw a lob so high that catcher Kobayashi had to hurry up and straighten his left hand and grab the baseball that flew above the hitter's head.
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
Murasuke Taiki carried the bat in one hand and spun it around his chest several times before holding his hands in the air and holding them high, waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
Shota Kikuchi stepped forward with his leg raised, flicked his arm, and threw the inside fastball toward home plate that he would throw in the face of almost every hitter.
"Bang!"
The pitcher's baseball deflects inward at 134 km/h from above the strike zone, and then when the hitter is not swinging the bat, Kobayashi reaches inward to catch the baseball that moves inward on the batter's chest.
“Ball.“ After announcing the bad ball, the referee raised his left hand and raised two fingers to indicate the number of bad balls: "two."
"Whew!"
After throwing bad balls one after another, Shota Kikuchi still did not give up, raised his leg and stepped forward, waved his arm, and continued to throw the belt-high inward fast ball to home plate.
"Bang!"
When the hitter mistook it for a bad ball and did not swing the bat, the baseball flying to the top of home plate passed through the corner at a speed of 134 km/h against the good ball area, and then caught in it by the capsule that was lifted upwards by the capsule.
“Strike.“ The presiding judge's right hand is clenched into a fist upwards, and the forearm is bent at a 90-degree angle to the upper arm, and the upper arm is slightly raised above the shoulder.
"Whew!"
After one good ball and two bad balls, according to the catcher's code, Shota Kikuchi waved his arm to the home plate and threw a high straight ball with an inside corner belt, with a speed of 136km/h.
"Ping!"
Murasuke threw the bat out and hit the baseball that flew to the corner of the good ball area, sending it flying high forward.
"Smack!"
The baseball that the victim swung with a bat passed through the middle, and was caught by Atsushi Honma, who was standing deep in the middle of the field, with his hands raised.
“out.“
Daiki Murasuke, who was about to run to first base, had no choice but to turn around and trot back to the rest area on the side of third base after seeing that the baseball he had hit was easily caught by the midfielders.
"In the second half of the second inning, the attack of Seido High School, six bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun, back number 3."
Holding the bat in front of him with both hands in his hands, and after standing on the right hitting area, Tetsuya Yuuki, a six-batter, turned his head to look at Shota Kikuchi, who was standing on the pitcher's board, waiting for his pitch.
"Whew!"
Following the code given to him by his senior, Shota Kikuchi lifted his left foot, stepped forward, and threw his right hand into home plate with a straight ball close to the knee.
"Bang!"
With the six-batter not swinging his bat, Kobayashi spread his case forward and grabbed the baseball that flew past the left side of the strike zone at a speed of 135 km/h.
“Ball.“
Tetsuya Yuki let go of the bat that was being held tightly by both hands, waved his left hand, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher, he held the bat in the air with both hands in the air, ready to strike again.
"Whew!"
After throwing a bad shot at the first shot, Shota Kikuchi lifted his left foot forward, flicked his right hand, and threw the belt-high inward fastball into home plate that he would almost always throw against a hitter's hand.
"Ping!"
At a speed of 133 km/h, the baseball flew to the high position area of the inside corner from the top of the good ball area, and when it was about to fall into the sleeve stretched out by catcher Hidehide Kobayashi, it was hit by the bat, which was swung by Tetsuya Yuuki and flew high into the air.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball hit by the batter flew into the off-field area behind the catcher and the referee, and eventually landed in the stands on the home plate. Seeing this, the chief judge took out a new baseball from his bag and waved it to the pitcher in front of him.
"Whew!"
After a good and a bad ball count, pitcher Shota Kikuchi threw a straight ball high inside to home plate.
"Bang!"
At a speed of 138 km/h, he flew to the baseball in front of Tetsuya Yuuki's hands holding the bat, and when he fell backwards to avoid being hit by the ball, he was grabbed by the left hand raised upwards by the arrester Shu Kobayashi.
“Ball…“
Shota Kikuchi reached out to take the baseball that the catcher passed back to him, bent down and reached out to pinch the magnesium powder bag on the ground, and after getting up and moving his arms, he stood on the pitcher's board and followed the catcher's code, raised his left foot forward, and waved his right hand to throw a belt-high straight ball at home plate.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
At a speed of 135 km/h, it flies to the baseball above the outside corner, and the bat swung by the batter hits the bottom and then flies high into the air.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!" The baseball, which was hit by the batter's swing, flew into the out-of-bounds area behind the referee and landed in the audience on the home plate.
"Whew!"
"Ping!".
After the ball count was equal, he flew to the belt high straight ball on the edge of the outer corner (top) at a speed of 138km/h, and was hit by Tetsuya Yuuki again and hit the bottom with a bat, flying high to the right.
"Out of bounds!" The baseball hit by the batter's swing fell on the stands at the junction of the home plate side and the first base side.
