Junki Watanabe, who stepped into the left hitting area, did not make any unnecessary movements, and after standing on the hitting area with his legs apart, he held the bat with both hands and leaned it on his left shoulder, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waited for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

After throwing three containment balls at first base in a row, Yagami Yagama, who had returned to home plate, stepped forward with his leg and waved his arm to throw a high slide ball at home plate.

"Bang!"

Chris straightens his left hand upwards and catches a baseball flying from the pitcher's mound at 140km/h above the back of the right-hit area.

"Whew!"

After throwing a bad ball at the first ball, the adjusted Yagami Yagami swung his arm to home plate and threw a near-belt slider at 139km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which moved laterally from the left side of the hit zone to the back of the low position in the outside corner, was hit by the bat, and flew to the left.

"Out of bounds!"

Chris took the new baseball from the head judge, raised his right hand, and passed it to the pitcher in front.

After reading the instructions given to him by Inspector Kayu, Osamu Washiya turned around and walked back to his original position and stood up, holding the bat in both hands and leaning it on his left shoulder, turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

When the pitcher waved his arm to throw the ball, Osamu Washiya changed the long stick to a short bat, and when the ball fell outward to the back of the corner with a belt curve (ball speed of 121 km/h), he took the short bat and flew it out.

"Ding!"

Chris got up as he reached out to remove the face guard in front of him, and hurriedly ran over to pick up the baseball that was rolling slowly in front of home plate.

“out.“

After reaching down to scoop up the baseball on the ground, Chris waved his arm as he stepped forward, and passed the ball to first base to block runner Junki Watanabe, who had already run to Yuuki's side.

After completing the task assigned by the superintendent and sending the runner to second base, Junki Watanabe ran back to the rest area from first base, and when Hidehide Kobayashi, a hitter of nine baseballs, walked out of the rest area with a bat in his right hand, the announcer's voice sounded from the sky over the court at the right time.

"Komagao-tomaki High School requests a change of player, eight bats, second baseman, Yamaguchi-kun, back number 4."

When pitcher Yagami took off his cap and wiped his sweat with his sleeve, the referee raised his hand and touched the back of Naoki Honma, who was standing on the left hitting area, and told him to leave. Chris the catcher next to him took the opportunity to run to the pitcher's mound, ready to chat with the pitcher.

Yamaguchi ran up to the right shot area amid the sound of the announcement, bent down to arrange the leggings, picked up the bat next to him, clenched his hands, and threw it forward twice hard, holding the bat with one hand and waiting for the catcher to return.

Six or seven seconds later, as the catcher returned, Yamaguchi swept the ground with his right foot, and while standing forward, he clenched the bat with both hands and raised it high while turning his head to look at the pitcher and wait for the strike.

"Whew!"

Yagami turned his head to look at second base, raised his leg and stepped forward, and waved his arm to throw a high-speed slide ball to home plate at a speed of 140km/h.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which moves down laterally from the top of the outside corner, is caught with the glove reached by the hand as it moves to the right side of the hitter's belt.

“Ball.“

After the batter was ready again, Yagami Yagama, who had the first bad ball, swung his arm to the home plate and threw a slightly wide speed ball at 121km/h.

"Whew!"

A baseball that is deflected to the right falls forward from the left side of the hit zone to the bottom of the corner of the hit zone at the same time as the hitter swings the bat, and then catches the glove that the hand spreads forward.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“ With the palm facing up, the right hand is raised above the head, and then swung forward, and the presiding judge announces that the beater's swing has failed.

"Whew!"

Turning his head to look at the runner at second base, Shodai Tanaka, Yagami Ye threw the slider with his left hand to home plate, but because his fingers slipped and did not shoot well, he smashed directly on the ground in front of the left shot area at a speed of 127km/h.

"Smack!"

Seeing this, Chris hurriedly took a step out, knelt on his legs, caught the baseball bouncing towards him in front of his crotch, and got up from the back of the left hitting area, took off his gloves, and rubbed his hands on the baseball before passing it back to the pitcher.

Yagami reached out to take the baseball that Chris had passed back to him, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound, bent down to pick up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it.

Raising his hand and blowing, he stood sideways on the pitcher's board, Yagami looked at the batting area held his bat high, turned his head to look at his hitter, turned his head to glance at the runner at second base, raised his right foot forward, stretched out, and threw a high-speed slide ball towards home plate with his arm flicker.

"Whew!"

At a speed of 142 km/h, the baseball flew high in the outside corner and floated upwards before passing the right chest of the hitter and falling to the ground outside the hitting area.

"Smack!"

"Touch the ball!" The referee who walked to the left ball area made a dead ball delivery gesture while observing the player's situation.

Yagami on the pitcher's mound reached out and took off his cap and nodded to the hitter in apology.

Yagami Yagami, who put on his cap and reached for Chris's pass, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's board. Raising his hand to signal to the referee, the game was suspended and then bent down to untie the shoelace on his left foot, picked up the sneaker to clean up the clutter inside, and put the boot back on amid the sound of the radio over the court.

"The first half of the seventh inning, the attack of Komatoma Komaki High School, Nine Sticks, Catcher, Kobayashi-kun ......"

Reaching out and pinching the magnesium powder packet, Yagami Yagami looked at the right bat, turned his head to look at his hitter, raised his foot and stepped forward, and threw an out-of-the-way slider at home plate with his arm to adjust his state.

"Whew!"

To test the hitter's reaction, Chris, who had Yagami throw an outboard slider (moving sideways down from the base of the hitter's thigh, parallel to the belt), reached forward with his left hand and caught the pitcher's baseball behind the corner of the good ball area.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

Yagami Yagami, who had re-established himself on the pitcher's board after throwing a bad ball on the first pitcher, looked at the code from Chris By, nodded, turned his head to glance at the runner, stepped forward with his leg raised, and threw a belt-high slide at home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Whew!" The pitcher's baseball moves forward and sideways down from the front of the left hitting area at a slightly higher height than the batter's belt.

"Bang!" The baseball moves forward at a speed of 139 km/h to the back of the middle and low position in the outside corner, and catches it with the glove that the hand spreads forward.

“Strike.“ With his right hand clenched into a fist and raised over his shoulder, the referee announced the number of balls: "one."

With both hands on each end of the bat, Kobayashi stretched his arms back, spread his legs apart and stood up again on the batting area, holding the bat up with both hands, turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

Yagami swung his arm at home plate and threw a high-speed knee slide from the top of the left hitting area at a speed of 144km/h to the back of the corner of the strike zone, and was hit by the batter Hidehide Kobayashi.

"Ping!".

"Out of bounds!" The baseball flew right out of the infield sideline after being hit by the bat, landed on the sidelines, and rolled all the way to the rest area.

Yagami reached out to take the pass, turned and bent over, picked up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and tossed it, raised his hand to blow the excess powder on his fingertips, and then stood sideways on the pitcher's board.
