Chapter 379: Qingdao vs Koma Otomaki (42)

"Smack!"

The baseball, which landed in front of the shortstop, bounced forward to the chest of the shortstop Taro Fukuda, avoiding the gloves he had placed in front of his abdomen and falling down to the ground.

"Whew!"

Taro Fukuda, who reacted in time, reached out to pick up the baseball on the ground, stepped forward and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base.

"Bang!"

"Porphyry!"

Tetsuya Yuuki, the first baseman who was crouching on the ground with his back to the runner, stretched out his left hand forward, caught the baseball passed by Fukuda-senpai, and blocked Ryu Nakazawa, who flew forward and followed him to base.

“out.“ With his right hand raised forward and his fist clenched upward, the first base judge announced that the runner was eliminated.

"In the first half of the fifteenth inning, Koma Otomaki Komaki High School's attack, four bats, midfielder, home plate, back number 8." The announcer's voice rang out over the stadium again.

"With no one on the base and two out, the batting area ushered in Komatomaki's main gun——"

"The fourth bat, Nakamidfielder Honma-kun."

"This is the last round of the battle between the ace and the main gun, and it is also the last chance for Komaomachi to win today's match——!!"

In the stands, Komaomai's support group and supporters are located:

"Dushi, fight out!"

"Honma-senpai!"

"Honma——! Hit them hard!! ”

"Hit hard! Honma ——!! ”

"Honma-Fight out!!"

"Atsushi—"

"Honma—"

"Call me out!!"

Amid a variety of voices, Atsushi Honma, who was standing in the batting area, spun around in front of him with his bat in his left hand, raised his hand to straighten his glasses, leaned the bat on his right shoulder, clasped his hands, and turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound.

“play ball!“ After the referee reached out to guide the pitcher to start pitching, Atsushi Honma's bat, which had been leaning on his right shoulder, was raised high and waited for the blow.

"Huh"

Nodding to Chrisby's code, Yagami raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his left arm to shoot a quick straight ball with four stitches high from the outside knee to home plate.

"Bang!"

A baseball flying at a speed of 150 km/h from the left side of the hitball area is caught firmly by the glove that the hand has spread forward.

“Ball.“

Reaching out and pinching the powder packet, and after raising his hand to blow off the excess powder, Yagami Yagami, who had re-established himself on the pitcher's board, panted and looked at the catcher's code, raised his foot and stepped forward, waving his left hand to throw the baseball in his palm towards home plate.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's four-seam fast ball (146 km/h) is a high inside corner ball that is caught by the left hand that the hand is straight up.

"Bang!"

“Ball...“

Because this was the last game, with Chris's permission, Yagami Yagami, who was throwing the ball with all his might, began to deteriorate.

"Whew!"

After the batter raised his bat and got ready again, Yagami Yagami swung his arm and threw a fast, straight ball near the knee with four seams near the knee to home plate.

"Bang!"

The pitcher throws a baseball that flies at 150 km/h next to the edge of the good zone and is caught by the capper's open glove.

“Ball.“ The referee who loudly announced the bad ball, raised his left hand and raised three fingers, instructed the number of bad balls to be: "three."

Yagami nodded at the catcher's words of encouragement, wiped the sweat from his face with his sleeve, and stood on the pitcher's board panting while looking at home plate and waiting for the code.

"Whew!"

Once the batter was ready again, Yagami raised his right foot and stepped forward, waving his left hand to shoot a quick straight ball at home plate.

"Bang!"

A baseball flying past the edge of the zone at a speed of 149 km/h was caught by the left hand of the victim Chris reaching forward without the hitter swinging the bat.

“Strike.“ The right hand is raised above his head in a fist, and the referee announces the ball.

"Whew!"

With the ball speed behind, when the hitter was back ready, Yagami stepped forward with his leg raised, waved his arm to home plate, and threw a quick straight ball near the knee with four seams.

"Bang!"

A baseball with a speed of 149 km/h slammed forward, and then was caught by a glove that was slightly open downward with the hand reaching forward without swinging the bat.

“Strike...“

Yagami was panting heavily, and after the batter had erected his bat and re-prepared, he raised his leg and stepped forward and threw a near-belt slider at home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

A baseball that moves sideways downward at a speed of 136 km/h from the front of the strike area, dodges the batter from the top of the baseball in the middle of the outside corner near the edge (the outer side), and then grabs the left hand that the captor is holding forward at the edge of the inside corner.

"Good shot, batsman out!"

"Qingdao's ace pitcher, Yagami Night, sent fifteen strikeouts today and threw fifteen innings!!"

……

"In the second half of the fifteenth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, guerrilla, Fukuda-kun, back number 6." Eighty seconds after the end of the first half of the fifteenth inning, the sound of the radio over the court announced the start of the second half of the game.

Taro Fukuda, who was standing in the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and leaned back on his shoulder while holding the bat, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

Tanaka hung the curveball thrown by the big swing high on his belt, dropped diagonally down the side of the hitter's right shoulder at a speed of 126 km/h, and then caught it with the glove extended forward by the captor behind the high position in the outside corner without the hitter swinging the bat.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Tanaka, who threw the ball well on the first ball, raised his big hands above his head, stepped with his legs, and waved his arms to throw a knuckle ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

Descends forward at 122km/h level with the batter's belt and is hit by the batter's forward swing just below the corner of the hit.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew from home plate to the baseball instructor, landed outside the sideline, and then in the bounce after landing, Ryu Ze, who was running from the base pack, reached out and grabbed it.

"Smack!"

Ryu Nakazawa, who received the ball, also ran a few steps forward and touched the batter running from home plate with his baseball glove to knock him out.

"Out of bounds!" On first base, the first base judge gestured his finger outward, indicating an invalid touch.

Once the hitter returned to the hitting area to get ready again, Tanaka raised his big hands above his head and waved his arms toward home plate to throw a knee-high carter.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

A baseball that moves sideways down from the hitter's thigh at a speed of 139 km/h, avoiding the batter sweeping over the outside of the edge line of the hit.

"Bang!"

The baseball flew above the hitting area and was caught in front of the catcher's calf by his downward-open glove.

“Strike out.“。

Taro Fukuda, who was struck out by the pitcher, turned and walked past the referee and trotted back to the rest area in front.

At the same time, the announcer's voice sounded again over the field: "In the second half of the fifteenth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Tanaka-kun, the back number 4." ”
