Looking at the batter holding the bat short on the batting area, Shota Kikuchi swung his arm to first base to avoid the runner getting too far from base, and after putting his weight back to home plate, he waved his arm to throw a near-belt inward fast ball with a speed of 132km/h.

"Whew!"

"Bang!"

The baseball, which had just moved horizontally to the right, was firmly grasped by the glove that was stretched out forward by the arrester Hideki Kobayashi, and then quickly got up and waved his right hand to pass the ball to second base, touching the runner who stole the base when the pitcher raised his leg and stepped on it.

“out.“

Shortstop Yuya Miki, who ran to second base, immediately leaned his left hand down to the left after receiving the catcher's pass, and touched the runner's left calf before his left foot slid onto the base, killing him.

"Good shot, one out!"

As runner Taro Fukuda left second base and returned to the rest area, catcher Hidehide Kobayashi at home base raised his right hand and gestured to the pitcher for an out.

Encouraged by his seniors, Shota Kikuchi threw a knee-high inward fastball toward home plate after the hitter was re-ready.

"Whew!"

A baseball that flies into the good-ball area at a speed of 138 km/h from the left front of the good-hit area, catches the ball with the outstretched left hand of the captor at the edge of the out-of-the-middle area, and catches the ball with an upward-open glove.

"Bang!"

“Strike...“

Yuki Tanaka, who was forced to hit the second ball by Komaomai Komaki Shot, lowered his head to tidy up the ground, looked up at the pitcher while reaching out to straighten his cap, waved the bat under him with both hands, and then leaned on his shoulder to wait for the pitcher to pitch.

"Whew!" With his hands raised above his head, Shota Kikuchi waved his arms and threw a straight ball from the outside of the waist to home plate.

"Bang!" Kobayashi stretched out his left hand and caught a baseball flying in front of him at a speed of 140 km/h.

“Ball.“

After the ball was two good and one bad, Shota Kikuchi raised his leg and stepped out, flicked his arm and threw a straight ball near the knee to Ben, with a ball speed of 135km/h.

"Whew!"

Kobayashi moved the gloves that had been placed behind the corners of the good ball area outward, and stretched out his left hand in front of the knee of his right leg to catch the straight ball thrown by Kikuji.

"Bang!"

“Ball...“

After the batter was ready to strike, Shota Kikuchi raised his hands above his head and threw a belt-high straight ball into home plate.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

A baseball flying at a speed of 138 km/h over the edge of the strike zone, just before it fell into the catcher's glove, hitter Yuki Tanaka swung his bat and smashed the ball to the ground in front of the corner of the hit zone.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The baseball, which bounced from the corner of the hitting area to the right front of the second base, was stopped by second baseman Yamaguchi, who ran from left to right, as it was about to roll forward into the lawn of the field.

"Porphyry!"

Unfortunately, Yamaguchi, who had already received the ball with his gloves open, fell forward to the ground when he was about to grasp the gloves because he couldn't stop the inertia of rushing forward, and at the same time, the baseball he had just received flew out of the gloves.

"Smack!"

Yamaguchi looked at the baseball rolling on the right side of his body after landing, and hurriedly got up from the ground to catch up with the baseball that had already rolled forward to the back of the baseball and stayed at the edge of the Nakamida lawn.

When Yamaguchi was about to reach for the ball, Yuya Miki, a shortstop who came from the side, quickly picked up the ball, and then turned around and rushed back to the base at second base.

Seeing this, Yuki Tanaka, who had run through first base, stopped running and continued to run, turned around and walked back, took off the protective gear at his elbow, and handed it to Kentaro Matsuda, the base running instructor who was standing next to him and came to help.

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Seido High School, three sticks, left fielder, Fujii-kun, back number 7."

Naoya Kuroza, who was wearing the No. 9 jersey, took the protective gear of Junior Tada from Matsuda with his left hand, and when he turned around and walked back to the rest area on the side of third base, the announcer's announcement sounded over the field.

Naoya Kuraza, who returned soon, handed the protective gear to Tamba-senpai outside the rest area, and then ran up to the warm-up area on the edge of the court, next to Jinguji-senpai and Miyuki-ichiya, who were warming up.

Takashi Fujii, who had his head down and had set up the ground, stood on the batting area with his legs apart, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher, he clenched his bat with both hands and raised it high.

"Whew!"

When the hitter was ready, Shota Kikuchi stepped up and waved his arm to the home plate to throw a palmball that looked a little inward.

"Bang!"

While the batter who changed the long to short batter retracts the bat, the pitcher's pitched baseball crosses the edge of the strike zone with a ball speed of 108 km/h, and then is firmly caught by the glove that the hand has opened downward at the back of the home plate, near the ground.

“Strike.“ As the catcher gets up and hands the ball to the pitcher, the referee raises his right hand over his shoulder.

Carrying the bat with one hand and waving it, after the catcher returned and crouched back behind home plate, Takashi Fujii held the bat high with both hands, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and waited for the strike.

"Whew!"

Shota Kikuchi threw a fast ball high into home plate, so that catcher Hidehide Kobayashi had to get up and catch a baseball flying at 134 km/h above the back of the right hitting area.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

Shota Kikuchi, who had a good and bad ball count, waited for the batter to raise his bat high and get ready again, and then waved his arm to throw the palm ball inside the home plate.

"Whew!"

Takashi Fujii, the hitter, took a step back to avoid the baseball that the pitcher threw and began to fall in front of his right shoulder.

"Bang!"

At a speed of 111 km/h, it moved down longitudinally to the baseball in front of the hitter's right thigh, and was grabbed directly by the glove stretched out by the arrester Hideto Kobayashi.

“Ball...“

With his left hand and swinging it under him, he straightened his belt with his right hand, and after Fujii and others had finished arranging their belts, they held the bat high with both hands.

"Whew!"

Shota Kikuchi, who ended his entanglement with the runner on base, lifted his left leg and stepped forward, waving his right hand to throw a high inward fastball at home plate.

"Bang!"

Fly into the baseball at the height of the hitter's shoulders at a speed of 133 km/h above home plate, and then grab it in front of the hitter's chest with the glove that the hand has stretched upward.

“Ball.“ Even if the catcher Kobayashi lowered the height of his gloves from the batter's chest to the hitter's belt as soon as he received the ball, it still could not make the referee decide that it was a good ball, and the referee raised three fingers on his left hand and declared the number of bad balls to be: "three."

Shota Kikuchi reached out to take the baseball from Kobayashi senior, took off his hat and apologized, pinched the powder bag on the ground, got up and stood on the pitcher's board, and waited for the hitter in the hitting area to get ready to strike again.

"Whew!"

As the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him, Shota Kikuchi stepped forward with his left foot and waved his right hand towards home plate to throw a fast ball high at home plate at a speed of 129 km/h.

"Bang!"

A baseball flying over the hit zone at the height of the hitter's shoulder, and above the right hit zone, the batter catches the glove in front of the hitter's chest with the hand reaching for it.

“Bases on balls.“。

After being escorted by the four bads, Takashi Fujii turned around and dropped his bat outside the batting area and ran from behind the referee to first base.

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, four bats, third baseman, Dongjun, back number 5." After the batter who was escorted Takashi Fujii reached first base, the announcer's voice resounded over the court.
