Chapter 371: Qingdao Road vs Koma Otomaki (34)
"Whew!"
A baseball that is falling forward at a speed of 130 km/h, sweeps the bat past the batter aiming at the low outside corner, follows the edge of the good ball area to the back of the low outside corner, and then grabs the glove that the hand has outstretched out.
"Bang!"
“Strike....“
Spreading his glove forward to catch the baseball passed back by Chris, Yagami turned around, reached out and grabbed the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it, then walked to the pitcher's board and stood up, looked up at home plate, and waited for the code.
"Whew!"
With just one good ball left to get his second out, Yagami waved his arm and threw a high-knee sophomore seam fast ball into home plate.
"Bang!"
Chris reached forward and caught a baseball with a speed of 139 km/h in front of his chest.
“Ball.“
On the fourth ball after throwing the bad ball, Yagami didn't shoot it well and threw the ball directly on the sand in front of the left-hit area.
"Whew!"
"Smack!"
Then in the forward bounce, Chris was moved outward, and Chris was on his knees on his abdomen to avoid a violent throw.
“Ball...“
With one hand and a swing, he put his right hand up, and after two swings forward, Tadao Mitani held the bat high in the grip position, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waited for the strike.
With Yagami still unable to throw the cross ball into the inside corner of the right hitter, Chris could only take a step out, place his gloves on the knee side of his right leg and open it forward, and let Yagami start throwing.
"Whew!"
Following the catcher's code, Yagami raised his leg and stomped, waving his arm to throw a slightly out-of-the-box knuckle ball at home plate.
"Huh!"
A baseball that falls longitudinally on the left side of the hit zone at a speed of 126 km/h, dodges the bat that also sweeps in front of the right knee of the catcher by a fraction of a second, and catches it with the captor's open glove in front of the side of the right calf.
"Bang!"
“Strike out.“ The right hand is raised above his head in a fist, and the presiding judge declares that the batter is knocked out by the pitcher.
"Strikeout! The last ball is a cross ball, which makes Mitani-kun's swing miss. ”
As the pitcher reached out to receive the baseball from the catcher, and the batter left the field to return to the rest area, the announcement sounded again over the court.
"The first half of the twelfth inning, the attack of Komatomaki High School, two sticks, shortstop, Miki-kun ......"
After the hitter was ready, Yagami waved his arm and threw the curveball to home plate at a speed of 120km/h from the back of the beater's butt to the right and fell diagonally downward, then passed the hitter in front of the side of his left ankle and grabbed it with the glove that the catcher reached for.
"Bang!"
“Ball.“
After throwing a bad shot at the first ball, Yagami Yagami threw a baseball in his palm at home plate with a wave of his arm.
"Whew!"
The baseball, which falls diagonally from under the player's right shoulder, moves diagonally downward in a larger, gentler curve, and then passes through the entire strike zone at a speed of 113 km/h when the hitter stops swinging, and then catches the glove reached by the hand at the back of the right hit area.
"Bang!"
“Strike.“
(PS: Yagami Yagami has been affected by the continuous decline in physical strength and the increase in fatigue, and the ball speed has dropped significantly.) )
After the pitcher was ready, Miki also raised the bat that was originally resting on his shoulders and held it upright, clasping his hands together and waiting for the blow.
"Whew!"
"Ping!"
Yagami Yagami threw a knuckle ball that fell sharply from the front of the hitter's belt at a speed of 118km/h, and then was hit by the bat's swing from the corner of the hitter and flew out to the right.
"Smack!" The baseball that the victim swung with a bat and flew landed on the lawn outside the right field.
"Out of bounds!"
Chris took the new baseball from the referee and turned to toss it to Yagami on the pitcher's mound. Yuya Miki, the batter next to him, spun around the batting area with his right hand, and after regaining his feet on the batting area, he turned his head to look at the pitcher while holding the bat high and waiting for the strike.
"Whew!"
As the batter prepares to strike, Yagami steps forward with his leg raised and swings his arm to shoot a straight ball high and wide towards home plate.
"Whew!"
The baseball, which flew over the side of the hit zone at a speed of 139 km/h, was caught by the catcher's upwardly raised left hand as it flew above the knee of his left leg.
"Bang!"
“Ball...“
Yagami reached out to catch the baseball that Chris had passed back, turned around and picked up the magnesium powder bag on the ground and pinched it, then got up and stood on the pitcher's board, took the baseball out of the glove with his right hand and looked at home plate, waiting for the code.
"Whew!"
Nodding his head at Chrisby's code, Yagami raised his right foot and stepped forward to shoot a near-knee two-seam fast ball to home plate as he raised his bat and stared at his hitter.
"Whew!"
"Huh!"
The pitcher's baseball drops vertically in front of the zone at a speed of 132 km/h, and then the batter swings hard past the zone as the batter swings out in front of the knee of the hitter's right leg and sweeps over the baseball.
"Bang!"
At the same time as the hitter swung his bat, Blue Catcher Chris spread his gloves upwards and placed them slightly outside the right rear of the home plate to catch the fast ball that was flying out.
“Strike out.“
With his palm facing forward and his right hand raised above his head, the batter did not give up after the presiding judge announced that he had been struck out, and shook off the bat in his hand and rushed to first base.
"Whew!"
Chris turned to look at the hitter who was fading away, stood on home plate, and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base.
"Smack!"
Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman who was standing on the base, caught Chris's pass in front of his chest and blocked Yuya Miki, who had run past the left side of the pitcher's mound and had not yet reached the baserun instructor's area.
"Three people are out, offense and defense are exchanged."
Yagami Yagama, who ran down the pitcher's mound, high-fived his female roommate, Chris, and then withdrew from the field and returned to the rest area.
While the others sat in a circle to cheer them on, Tetsuya Yuuki, who was about to go on the field, changed his equipment with the help of his teammates.
After taking the handguard on Senior Ida's left hand and dressing it neatly, Tetsuya Yuki reached out to take the leggings handed to him by Tanba, and then, with the help of Tanba, bent down to put the leggings on.
Picked up the ice water handed to him by Senior Yitian, drank it all, and after returning the water cup to the senior, he nodded to him to express his gratitude.
After reaching out with his left hand and holding the bat that Tamba handed over, Tetsuya Yuuki caught the batting cap he handed over with his right hand, put it on, and walked forward towards the right waiting area.
"The second half of the twelfth inning, attacked by Seido High School, six batters, first baseman, Yuuki-kun ......" More than seventy seconds have passed since the end of the first half of the twelfth inning, and Tetsuya Yuki has just walked from the rest area to the waiting area, and the announcer's broadcast sound sounded on time over the court.
Pick up the powder bag on the ground and wipe the grip of the bat and the body of the bat, throw the powder bag back on the ground, rub your hands on the grip of the bat, get up and walk towards the hitting area.
Tetsuya Yuuki, who was standing on the batting area with his legs apart, grabbed the bat with both hands and waved it under him, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and while reaching for the batting cap, he raised the bat high with his right hand, clenched his hands and waited for the strike.
