Chapter 370: Qingdao Road vs Koma Otomaki (33)

"Bang!"

A baseball flying close to the good ball area at a speed of 131 km/h, because the hitter thought it was a bad ball and did not swing the bat, it flew over the back corner of the good ball area during the fall, and then grabbed it with the glove that the hand opened forward.

“Strike out.“ With the palm facing forward, the referee straightens his right hand upwards and then makes a fist and draws the bow to indicate that the hitter is knocked out by the pitcher.

After seeing that he was knocked out by the strikeout, Dong Qingguo could only put down the bat in his unwillingness, turned around and walked back to the rest area on the third base.

"The second half of the eleventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, Nakakunoska, Murasuke-kun......"

As the batter raised his bat high above the batting zone and turned to look at him, Tanaka raised his large hands above his head and waved his arms toward home plate to throw the baseball in his hand.

"Whew!"

The curveball is hung on the belt, and it moves down diagonally at a speed of 126km/h from the outside of the good ball area, and then the angle of the oblique downward fall is relatively large, resulting in the trajectory of the ball path is said to be a curveball, but the similarity with the curveball is higher, and the gloves reached out to the waist side of the hitter are grabbed by the handyman.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

With the batter re-ready to hit and his hands above his head, Tanaka threw a big swing of his arm into home plate with a high inside corner belt.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball flew at a speed of 142 km/h to the edge of the strike zone, and when it was about to fly out of the hit zone, it was hit by the bat swung by the hitter and flew out to the right.

"Smack!"

The baseball that was thrown off by the batter fell deep in the right field, not far from the boundary marker, and fell down onto the off-field lawn.

"Out of bounds!"

Murasuke reached out and picked up the bat he had just dropped, walked back to the hitting area, and stood up again.

"Whew!"

Tanaka, who was not in great shape, raised his big hands above his head, waved his arms and threw a high bad ball at home plate, and then caught it on the right side of the batter's cap with his left hand raised upwards by the cap.

"Bang!"

Daiki Murasuke spun in front of him with a bat with one hand, and when the pitcher was ready to raise his hands upward, he stopped continuing to spin the bat and held it high with both hands.

"Whew!"

With his hands raised above his head, Tanaka swung his arms into home plate and threw what appeared to be a somewhat high jet ball at 129 km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was moving down laterally inward against the good ball area, was hit by the bat's swing at the edge of the high inside corner and flew out to the left rear.

"Out of bounds!"

When catcher Hidehide Kobayashi got up to observe the baseball that was being hit by the batter, the baseball flew over the heads of the six batters who were in the waiting area and fell forward into the spectator stand at the corner between the home plate stand and the third base side rest area.

"Whew!"

When the batter stops turning the bat and holds the bat in the air, raising his hands above his head, Tanaka throws a high slider to home plate at a speed of 125 km/h.

"Bang!"

A baseball that flies over the ball area and catches it with a glove that is open by the hand behind the hitter's right thigh and above the outside of the hitting area.

“Ball...“

With the ball at full and when the hitter was ready, Tanaka raised his big hands above his head and waved his arms to the home plate to throw the inside corner knuckle ball.

"Whew!"

The baseball, which was falling vertically from the base of the hitter's left thigh at a speed of 130km/h, was hit by the batter who swung downward as soon as it fell out of the hit zone in front of the catcher's left leg knee.

"Ping!"

A baseball that penetrated the middle line from above the shortstop was caught in the depths of the outfield by the left fielder Naoki Okagawa, who ran from right to left, with his left hand raised upward.

"Porphyry!"

Naoki Okagawa was in a hurry to catch the ball, but he didn't stand firm, and while receiving the high flying ball, he staggered backwards and fell to the ground, but unfortunately the baseball in his glove did not fall out.

"Catch!"

Naoki Okagawa got up from the ground with a smile on his face, reached out to pick up the cap and put it on, and as he ran back to the rest area, he reached out and took the baseball out of his glove and handed it to the second base judge.

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

Outside the rest area on the side of the first base, Koma Otoma Komaki, who had retired from the second half of the eleventh inning, formed a circle under the leadership of captain Atsushi Honma and began to exchange information, preparing to finish the game by defeating the Seido ace in this inning. Meanwhile, Seido ace Yagami ran up the pitcher's mound from the third-base side break.

Yagami picked up the baseball from the pitcher's board and turned to level the ground in front of the pitcher's board.

……

Nearly fifty seconds later, Hidehide Kobayashi, a nine-batter who had changed his equipment, was standing in the waiting area and talking to Tadao Mitani, a batter who had also changed his equipment, when the announcer's voice sounded over the court.

"In the first half of the twelfth inning, attacked by Koma Otomo Komaki High School, nine sticks, catcher, Kobayashi-kun ......"

Yagami opened his gloves to take the baseball passed to him by Junior Tada, reached out and grabbed the magnesium powder bag on the ground, pinched it, raised his hand to blow off the excess powder on his fingertips, and stood still on the pitcher's board, looking at the hitter Kobayashi Shu who was preparing for the batting area.

After lowering his head to tidy up the ground, Kobayashi Shu held the bat with both hands and waved it under him, and after looking up at the pitcher, he held the bat high with both hands, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

According to Chris's code, Yagami threw a two-stitch fast ball into home plate with an arm swing at 137km/h.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's baseball falls forward against the good ball area, passes through the good ball area from the back of the low post in the outside corner near the edge without the hitter swinging the bat, and catches it with the glove that the catcher has opened forward.

“Strike.“

After the batter re-raised the bat and waited for the blow, Yagami raised his left foot and stretched it forward, waving his left hand forward to throw the baseball in his palm.

"Whew!"

The curveball is slung high on the belt, moving diagonally down at 116 km/h from a slightly higher position on the outside of the good ball area, and then just moving inward to the back of the low and middle position, it is hit by the bat.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew backwards to the right, passed over first base and flew straight into the right field, where it was caught by right fielder Hiroshi Ota, who ran out of the depths of the right field, with his hands raised upward.

"Smack!"

“out.“ The first base judge bends his elbow and clenches his right hand upwards to announce that the striker is out of the game by the guard.

After Hiroshi Ota passed the ball to Yagami on the pitcher's mound, the announcer's voice resounded over the field: "In the first half of the twelfth inning, Komatomaki Komaki High School's attack, one bat, third baseman, Mitani-kun......"

Yagami reached out and pinched the magnesium powder packet on the ground, got up and walked to the pitcher board to stand, and looked up at home plate.

Nodding at the code that the superintendent had come out, Tadao Mitani swung the bat forward, which was originally resting on his right shoulder, and then raised it high, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waited for the strike.

"Whew!"

Yagami threw a speedball with a simple difference of speed at home plate, causing Chris to move the ball sleeve that had been placed in front of the hitter's right knee outwards and catch the 125km/h ball behind the low outside corner and above the side of his own right knee.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“。

After the batter raised his bat and reprepared, Yagami raised his right leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a knuckle ball at home plate.

"Whew!"
