"Out of bounds!"

The baseball that was swung off by the batter flew straight to the right above the stands on first base under the watchful eyes of the batter, catcher, and judge at home plate, lowering the height and eventually falling.

Tanaka reached out to take the new baseball passed to him by the officiator, turned and bent down to grab the magnesium powder bag on the ground, pinched it, got up and stood on the pitcher's board, and looked up at home plate.

On the right hit area, hitter Daiki Murasuke, who was still spinning the bat in front of him, saw that the pitcher was basically ready, put his right hand on the grip, and held the bat high.

"Whew!"

Tanaka followed the catcher's instructions and threw a near-belt slider to home plate with a speed of 129km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball moved laterally from the front of the left hitting area to the bottom of the inside corner, and the bat, which was swung hard by the beater, hit the top and flew towards the catcher's left knee.

"Smack!"

At the same time that the baseball hit the catcher's left leg knee and flew forward from behind the hitter, Murasuke Taiki had already thrown the bat forward and ran forward to home plate before realizing that the ball was a throw-in.

"Out of bounds!"

The referee walked over to check on the catcher's impact on the ball, palms facing forward and raised his hands to signal the throw-in.

Hitter Daiki Murasuke retrieves his bat from the shortstop, while catcher Hidehide Kobayashi re-ties the leg guard after his teammates have sprayed the pain relief spray on his left knee, moves his left foot, and picks up the gloves on the ground and puts them on after feeling that there is no problem.

After the batter and catcher were in place, Tanaka, who was standing on the pitcher's board, carried the baseball in his big right hand behind his back, looked at the code that the catcher compared, shook his head, and waited for the catcher to compare three codes in a row before he nodded in agreement, and retracted the baseball behind him forward into the glove on his chest.

"Whew!"

After the hitter lifted the ball high and reprepared himself to strike, Tanaka lifted his foot forward and threw a knee-high slide with a wave of his arm at home plate.

"Huh!"

A baseball that moves laterally from the front of the left hitting area (near the height of the belt) to the edge of the strike zone at a speed of 128 km/h, with a sudden and large drop, the bat aimed at the low area of the outside corner can only sweep over the baseball that falls forward to the back of the corner of the hit zone.

"Bang!" Catcher Shu Kobayashi caught the glove in his left hand on the ground and dropped forward to the baseball under his crotch, knocking the hitter out.

“Strike out.“ With his palm facing up and his right hand raised above his head, the presiding judge waved his right hand three times in a row, signaling that the hitter was knocked out of the game by a strikeout because he missed the swing.

"The bottom half of the sixth inning, the attack of Seido High School, six bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun ......"

When the announcer ended the broadcast, the catcher of Komatomaki requested a timeout, and Tetsuya Yuuki, the six-batter had to stand outside the running area, waiting for the timeout to end.

Eighteen seconds later, when the catchers returned home plate from a timeout, Tetsuya Yuki was able to step into the batting area to prepare for the strike.

……

When the batter raised his bat and was ready to strike, Tanaka stretched his leg forward and waved his arm to throw a belt-high straight ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

A baseball that grazed the edge of the outside corner at a speed of 142 km/h was hit by Tetsuya Yuuki sweeping the bat.

"Ping!"

"Smack!" The baseball that landed in front of the left hitting area bounced back to the left of the pitcher's mound.

"Boom!" The re-landed baseball rolled into the infield and was blocked by second baseman Naoki Honma, who was in front of the right fielder, with his hands reaching down to the ground.

Naoki Honma stepped forward as he got up, reached out from his glove and took out the baseball and passed it to the first baseman, telling him to block the runner who ran to the baserun instructor's area after receiving the ball.

"Three people are out, offense and defense are exchanged."

Losing the chance to score, he left only two stumps to end the bottom half of the sixth inning, and completely fell into a pitcher battle with his opponent Komachi Otomaki.

"The first half of the seventh inning, Koma's attack on Komakomai High School, five bats, right fielder, Washiya-kun ......"

A hundred seconds after the end of the second half of the sixth inning, a well-timed announcement from over the court meant that the bottom half of the seventh inning was about to begin. Osamu Washiya, the five-batter, was already standing in the batting area after the announcer finished broadcasting, turning his head to look at the pitcher, and leaning back on his left shoulder while holding the bat.

“play ball!“

After the batter raised his bat and was ready, Yagami stepped forward with his leg raised and waved his arm to the home plate to throw the outside corner speed ball.

"Whew!"

At a speed of 115 km/h, the baseball flew to the front of the inside corner and fell vertically forward, before being caught by the open gloves of the captor behind the low post in the outside corner

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Osamu Washiya turned his head to look at the pitcher while carrying the bat in front of him with one hand, and after two turns, he put his left hand on it and rested the bat on his shoulder, waiting for the pitch.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's curveball thrown toward home plate at a speed of 119 km/h is hit by the batter's swing as it moves diagonally downwards from the side of the hitter's belt to behind the edge of the low outside corner.

"Ping!"

The baseball slammed to the left on the sand in front of the pitcher's mound in a collision with the bat, and bounced off the left side of the pitcher's mound to the infield.

"Smack!"

The baseball that flew to the infield was bounced forward and was picked up by second baseman Yuki Tanaka, who was crouching in front of the right field, and then got up and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base.

“out.“

First baseman Tetsuya Yuki reached forward with his left hand, caught Principal Tana's pass, and blocked Osamu Washiya, who ran to the base runner's area, out of the game.

"In the first half of the first inning, Komatoma Komaki High School's attack, six bats, pitcher, Tanaka-kun ......"

Shogun Tanaka stood outside the batting area, grabbed both ends of the bat with both hands, and stretched his arms before entering the batting area and standing.

After lowering his head to tidy up the ground, he waved the bat with his left hand, and while looking up at the pitcher, he grasped the bat with both hands and rested it on his right shoulder and waited for the pitch to be bowled.

"Whew!"

The pitcher swings his arm into home plate and throws a straight ball near the knee, which flies past the corner of the good ball area at 141km/h, and then is hit by the batter who swung out hard just before it falls into the catcher's glove.

"Ping!"

"Boom!" The baseball, which fell downwind in a collision with the bat, slammed backwards into the sand in front of the right home plate, and then flew high into the air and headed straight for the infield.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which had re-landed in the infield, was caught in front of his left shoulder by shortstop Taro Fukuda, who was guarding in front of the infield, in an upward rebound

Unfortunately, just as he stepped forward and was about to pass the ball to first base, he failed to grasp the baseball in his glove and let it fall back to the ground.

When he stretched out his right hand to take the ball from his glove, he found that there was no ball in the case, so he had to quickly turn around and go back to find the ball.

"Safe base."

When he reached out to pick up the baseball on the ground and turned sideways to pass the ball, the runner Shodai Tanaka had already run past the base pack on first base.

Tanaka put his big right foot on the base bag, bent down to take off the leg guard on his ankle, and handed it to his teammates who came to help along with the hand guard he had just taken off.

When he stood on the base bag with his hands on his hips and gasped, the announcer's voice sounded again over the court: "In the first half of the seventh inning, Komato's attack from Komakomai High School, seven bats, left fielder, Watanabe-kun......"
