Chapter 380: Qingdao Road vs Koma Otomaki (Forty-Three)

When the hitter is ready to strike, Tanaka, who has his hands above his head, throws a straight ball high towards home plate.

"Whew!"

When the hitter did not swing the bat, Kobayashi raised his glove upwards and caught a straight ball with a speed of 140 km/h above the edge of the good ball area.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

Tanaka, who threw the bad ball in the first shot, raised his big hands above his head and waved his arms to throw a knuckle ball towards home plate at a speed of 126 km/h.

"Whew!"

Catcher Hidehide Kobayashi opened his glove to the left and caught the still falling baseball in front of his right calf and behind the side of home plate.

"Bang!"

“Ball...“

Tanaka, who threw bad balls one after another, raised his big hands above his head, waved his arms and continued to throw knuckles to home plate.

"Whew!"

A baseball with a speed of 126 km/h flew over the edge of the good ball zone and was caught by a glove that the hand's hand had opened forward behind a low post in the outside corner.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Tanaka's form didn't change much because of the good ball he had managed to throw, and the straight ball he threw with his hands above his head and his arm swing towards home plate was a low outside corner ball.

"Whew!"

A baseball with a speed of 144 km/h flew under the corner of the good zone and was caught by a glove on the back of home plate by the hand of the victim.

"Smack!"

“Ball.“ After announcing the bad ball, the chief judge who raised his left hand and raised three fingers instructed the number of bad balls to be: "three."

With the ball behind, Tanaka, who reached out and pinched the powder packet, made a gesture to the teammates around him to get out, turned around and stood on the pitcher's board, looked at the code of the catcher, and nodded.

"Whew!"

With his hands raised above his head and his legs raised to step forward, Tanaka followed the catcher's code to the baseball in the palm of his home plate.

"Bang!"

The low-lying Carter ball flew from underneath the hit area to the top plate at 138km/h before being caught by the captor's downward-open glove behind the outside corner.

“Base on Balls.“

Yuki Tanaka, who was escorted by the four bads, threw the metal bat outside the batting area, applauded in celebration and ran to first base.

"In the second half of the fifteenth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, three bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun, back number 7." After the timeout at the end of Komato's throwing, the announcer's voice resounded from above the court.

"Whew!"

When the batter raised his bat high and turned his head to look at him, Tanaka swung his arm at the low corner of home plate at a speed of 141 km/h.

"Smack!"

Fly in front of the hitter's knee into the baseball above home plate, fall forward off home plate and land on the side behind it, then bounce upwards and catch the glove with the hand opening downward.

“Ball.“

Moving his shoulder, Tanaka shook his right hand and reached out to take the pass, and after re-establishing himself on the pitcher's board, he looked at home plate and waited for the code.

"Whew!"

According to the catcher's code, Tanaka lifted his leg forward and waved his right arm to throw a belt-high slide ball to home plate at a speed of 137km/h.

"Bang!"

The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound to the top of the good ball zone moves laterally down to the right and is caught next to the center of the corner by the glove that the hand's hand extends forward.

“Strike.“

After throwing a tie-ball to first base to avoid the runner getting too far from base, Tanaka will swing his arm and throw a near-belt slider to home plate.

"Whew!"

When a baseball with a speed of 129 km/h moves down laterally from a high position in the outside corner to the center area, the bat, which is swept downward by the hitter, hits the bat.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!" The baseball that was swung to the left by the victim fell to the turf at the iron net in front of the stands, next to Naoki Okagawa, a left fielder who desperately ran to catch the ball.

"Hello!"

With just one good ball to get out, Tanaka, who was stepping forward with his leg up, threw a belt-high slide ball to home plate.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's slider sped over the good-hit area at 135 km/h and was caught in front of the hitter's right thigh with the left hand stretched forward.

“Ball.“

Reaching out to take the catcher's pass, after turning around on the pitcher's mound, he bent down and grabbed the powder bag on the ground and pinched it, and then Tanaka, who threw the powder bag back to the ground, lifted the brim of his hat and stood on the pitcher's board to look at home plate.

Takashi Fujii, the hitter, was holding his bat high in the batting area, turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the strike.

Seeing that the hitter was ready, Tanaka stepped forward with his big leg raised and waved his right hand towards home plate and threw a knee-high slide.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's slider flies at a speed of 137 km/h from the front of the good zone into the low upper area of the outside corner, and then moves laterally out of the good zone.

"Bang!"

When the hitter did not swing the bat, the baseball, located in the lower right side of the corner of the good ball area, was caught by the glove stretched forward by the arrester Hideto Kobayashi.

“Strike out.“ The right hand is raised above his head in a fist, and the presiding judge loudly announces that the hitter has been struck out by the pitcher.

"In the second half of the fifteenth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, four bats, third baseman, Dongjun, back number 5." As Takashi Fujii turned to run back, the announcer's voice rang out again from above the court.

"The game went into the final half of the game. The current score is a 1-1 tie between the two sides with a man on first base. While the commentators were commenting in the studio of the stadium, the rhythm of the Seido Wind Band's debut song became more and more rapid in the audience where the Seido support group was located.

"The one who stands in the batting area is known as the monster striker in the Tokyo metropolitan area-Higashi Kiyokuni!"

Dong Qingguo, who was standing in the batting area with his legs apart, turned his head to look at the pitcher, clenched his bat with both hands and raised it high.

"Koma Omakomai's ace Shogun Tanaka is big, and he suppressed Aomichi's batting lineup in the first eleven innings, and has only lost one point so far."

"The final battle between the ace and the main gun is about to begin!!"

When the hitter was ready, Tanaka raised his leg and threw a slightly high straight ball towards home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Whew!"

Without swinging the batter, catcher Hideshi Kobayashi raised his left hand upwards and caught a straight ball with a speed of 140 km/h above the edge of the hit zone.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

"The first ball is a straight ball that is high!!"

"Okay!" The Qingdao players leaning on the isolation board in the rest area clenched their fists and shouted: No swinging of the baton, captain! Well chosen!! ”

Shodai Tanaka, who threw the bad ball for the first time, waved his arm to throw a knuckle ball at home plate after the hitter raised his bat high and re-prepared.

"Whew!"

The baseball moves longitudinally at a speed of 128 km/h to the back edge of the low position in the outer corner, and the batter Dong Kiyokuni swept the past bat and flew high before it was about to be caught by the glove reached by the arrester.

"Ping!"

Shortstop Yuya Miki left second base, took a few steps to the left, and raised his hands to catch the flying ball that Aomichi hit with four bats.

"Smack!".

"Catch! The game is over!! ”

The two sides fought fiercely for fifteen rounds and drew 1:1. At 1 p.m. tomorrow, the 37-year rematch will be held. ”
