Chapter 359: Qingdao vs Koma Otomaki (22)

"Whew!"

Tanaka stepped forward with his foot lifted and waved his hand to home plate to throw a knee-high slide ball at 136km/h.

"Ding!"

Moving laterally to the baseball in front of the capper's right knee, the victim grabs the tip of the bat pushed by the grip and flies backwards past the catcher.

"Out of bounds!"

Yagami stumbled forward and ran out of home plate after hitting the baseball, trying to take advantage of the opportunity to run to first base. Unfortunately, when the baseball he flew out of the ball fell on the lawn in front of the grandstand fence, he could only turn around and run back to home plate with the referee's hands raised.

Reaching out to take the bat from the catcher, Yagami nodded to him and stepped aside, waiting for the chief judge to clear the home plate and the sidelines on either side.

Yagami Yagami, who waited for the referee to leave and then regained his position in the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher, held the bat in both hands and waved it under him, and while standing up straight, he rested the bat on his right shoulder and waited for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

Tanaka threw a belted high ball into home plate with a swing of his arm and flew from the pitcher's mound to the corner of the zone at a speed of 127 km/h, then moved diagonally downward.

"Ping!"

A baseball that moves diagonally to the high mid of the center is hit in the top half of the bat swung by the batter in front of the catcher's eye, smashes forward into the corner of the hitting area, and then bounces left out of bounds.

"Smack!"

After receiving instructions from Superintendent Kataoka, Yagami turned around and stood on the batting area, grabbed the bat with both hands, and turned his head to look at the pitcher while waving it under him, and while standing up straight, he rested the bat on his shoulder and repeated the movement of leaning his shoulder and raising it forward.

"Whew!"

After throwing a containment ball to first base and not letting the runner get too far from base, Shoshi Tanaka, who has returned his attention to home plate, swings his arm and throws a ballball with a near belt curve that is out of the way to home plate.

"Huh!"

At the height of the hitter's belt, the baseball, which is level with the catcher's right shoulder, falls diagonally from the top of the left hitting area, and when it moves at a speed of 127km/h in front of the catcher's right knee, the batter Yagami Yagami swings just from the right side.

"Bang!"

At the same time as the batter swung his bat, the outstretched glove of catcher Kobayashi caught the baseball as it was about to fall to the ground.

“Strike out.“ The presiding judge's over-the-shoulder right hand in the upper inning instructed the hitter to be knocked out by the pitcher.

"In the second half of the seventh inning, the attack of Seido High School, a stick, a shortstop, Fukuda-kun......" When Yagami turned around and ran back to the rest area, the announcer's announcement sounded again over the court.

Taro Fukuda, who was standing on the batting area, held the bat in both hands, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and repeated the action of resting the bat on his shoulder and leaning forward while waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

Tanaka threw a high inward fast ball with a big swing and moved horizontally to the right at a speed of 141 km/h above the right shot area, and then caught it with the left hand that was upright outward.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

Holding the bat in his right hand, he turned around twice in front of him and put his left hand up, holding the bat in the air while holding it high, he turned his head to look at Admiral Tanaka on the pitcher's mound, leaned the bat on his shoulder, and waited for the blow.

"Whew!"

Shodai Tanaka, who threw the bad ball in the first ball, adjusted it, raised his left foot and stepped forward, and waved his right arm to throw a straight ball near the knee to home plate.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew from the corner of the hit zone at a speed of 143 km/h, was stopped by the bat, which was swung in front of it by Taro Fukuda, and flew to the left in a violent collision to the spectator on the third base.

"Out of bounds!"

Taro Fukuda, who was standing in the batting area with his right hand, grabbed the bat with his right hand and spun around in front of him, then clasped his hands tightly, turned his head to look at the pitcher, leaned the bat on his shoulder, and waited for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's curveball is slung high on the belt, moving diagonally down from near the hitter's right shoulder at a speed of 130 km/h, and then caught by the captor's open glove behind the edge of the outside corner.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“ With his right hand clenched into a fist and raised above his shoulder, the referee announced that the number of good balls was: "two."

After picking up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinching it, he raised his hand and blew it, turned around and stood on the pitcher's board Tanaka put the general's right hand behind his back and looked up at home plate

"Whew!"

After reading the catcher's code, he pulled his right hand forward into the glove on his chest, raised his left foot and stepped forward, flicked his arm, and threw the baseball in his palm to home plate.

"Ping!"

The curveball is hung high on the belt, moves diagonally downward from the front of the hitter's right shoulder at a speed of 130 km/h, and then moves behind the middle and low position of the outside corner, and when it is about to be grabbed by the glove reached by the victim, the bat, which is vigorously swung by the beater, knocks the ball out.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which landed on the right side of home plate, bounced towards the infield and was caught by the outstretched left hand of the running third baseman, Tadao Mitani.

Tadao Mitani, who received the baseball, stepped forward as he got up, reached out and took out the baseball from inside his glove, flicked his right arm, and passed the ball to first base.

“out.“

The first baseman crouched in front of the first base bag also caught the pass from the third baseman in front of his chest, and blocked the runner who ran to the side and was about to step on the base bag.

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange." After Taro Fukuda was blocked out, Seichi left a remnant to end the bottom half of the seven-inning.

At the same time as Komaomai left the field, Yagami Yagama, who had changed his equipment, trotted all the way up to the pitcher's mound from the rest area, reached for the baseball on the ground, and then lowered his head and began to level the pitcher's board and the ground around it.

"In the first half of the eighth inning, Komatoma Komaki High School's attack, one bat, third baseman, Mitani-kun ......" 80 seconds later, the broadcast sound sounded over the field announced the start of the first half of the eighth inning.

"Whew!"

As the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him, Yagami raised his right foot and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a belt-high slide at home plate.

"Ping!"

A baseball that moves laterally from the left side of the hit area at a speed of 134 km/h to the low edge of the inside corner, is hit by the bat's sweep and flies out of bounds to the left.

"Throw-in!" With palms facing forward and hands above his head, the referee took a new baseball from his bag and handed it to the catcher.

"Whew!"

When the batter raised the bat and was ready again, Yagami raised his right foot and stepped forward, flicked his arm, and threw a curveball at home plate.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which flew at a speed of 125 km/h to the outside corner, fell diagonally and downward, and then caught the glove in front of the hitter's belt with the capsule open forward without swinging the batter.

“Strike.“

With just one good shot away from winning the first number of outs in the first half of the eighth inning, Yagami waved his arm and threw a belted high curve ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

A baseball that was moving diagonally from the front of the side of the zone was hit by the batter when it flew to the corner of the zone at a speed of 122 km/h and was about to be grabbed by the glove reached by the capsule.

"Smack!"

In a violent collision, the baseball slammed forward at the junction of home plate and the ground, and then bounced forward.
