Dong Qingguo, who was standing in the batting area with his legs apart, turned his head to look at the pitcher, swung the bat in his hands tightly, and then leaned on his shoulder to wait for the pitcher to deliver.

"Whew!"

Shota Kikuchi threw a high two-seam fast ball to home plate, and when it flew at 123km/h to the back of the outside corner, it was caught by the glove that the hand stretched out.

"Bang!"

“Ball.“

When the batter was ready to raise his bat, Shota Kikuchi raised his leg and stepped forward, flicking his arm to throw a knee-high straight ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

"Huh!"

The baseball, which flew to the edge of the zone at a speed of 135 km/h, was about to fly out of the zone and into the catcher's outstretched glove, when the batter Dong Kiyokook swept the past bat and knocked the ball into the spectators on the first base.

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

After the ball count came to one bad and one good, Shota Kikuchi, under the influence of the batter's momentum, threw a high two-stitch fast ball and an out-of-the-knee high four-stitch fast ball one after another.

“Ball.“ After the referee pronounced the bad ball, he raised his left hand forward and raised three fingers to indicate the number of bad balls: "three."

Shota Kikuchi opened his gloves to take the baseball from the senior, reached out and took off the cap and nodded in apology, bent down and grabbed the powder bag on the ground and pinched it, looked up in the direction of second base, turned around and re-established himself on the pitcher's board.

"Whew!"

Faced with a senior who asked him to shoot a straight ball in the inside corner to face off against the hitter, Shota Kikuchi stepped with his leg up, waved his arm and threw a straight ball with a near mid-knee to home plate.

"Huh!"

At a speed of 132 km/h, the baseball flew over the middle and low position, and the moment before it fell into the catcher's open glove, the hitter Dong Kiyokook swept the past bat and hit the ball to the left.

"Ping!"

"Boom!" A baseball that lands (in the front) at the junction of home plate and right hitting area flies high in the direction of third base.

"Smack!"

Third baseman Tadaya Mitani ran from behind the third base side to the front of the base side, and opened his gloves upwards to catch the baseball that Xiao Ming hit.

“out.“

Stepping sideways, Tadao Mitani waved his right hand and threw the baseball he had just received to second base, allowing the shortstop who received the pass to block the runner who had already run behind him and was about to hit base.

Dong Kiyokook, a runner who ran forward to first base, turned around and walked back, taking off the batting gloves on his hands, then the braces at his elbows, and finally the braces on his ankles.

Shota Kikuchi took the baseball passed to him by the third baseman, raised his hand to make a two-out gesture, and then bent down to grab the powder bag on the ground and pinched it.

"In the second half of the first game, the attack of Qingdao High School, five bats, the middle fielder, Murasuke-kun, the back number 8."

Taiki Muraksuke, who is standing on the batting area with his legs apart, turns his head to look at the pitcher, grabs the bat with his left hand and spins in front of him, and when the hitter stands sideways to start throwing, he puts his right hand on the grip and holds the bat high with both hands.

Following the catcher's code, Shota Kikuchi swung his arm and threw a high ball from the inside corner of the belt to home plate.

"Whew!"

Murasuke stopped swinging his bat and took a step back, avoiding the inward straight ball that was hurtling towards his thigh.

"Bang!"

A baseball flying past the right side of the hit-ball zone at a speed of 138 km/h was caught with a glove reached out by a hand next to the hitter's right thigh.

“Ball.“

Walking back to his original position, Daiki Murasuke looked at the pitcher while swinging his bat, and when he was ready, he held his hands tightly in the grip of the bat and held the bat upright for the strike.

"Whew!"

At the catcher's request, Shota Kikuchi continued to throw a high straight ball with an inside corner belt to home plate at a speed of 136km/h.

"Ping!"

Faced with a baseball stuck on the edge of the inside corner, Murasuke swung the past baseball and sent it flying to the right.

"Smack!"

The baseball flying over the second baseman landed in the middle of the field, and was caught by the left hand raised forward by the midfielder Atsushi Honma, who was driven from the center-right outfielder, in the bounce after landing.

“Run.“ At the same time, runner at third base stepped forward on home plate to score the first point of the tiebreaker for Seichi.

"Score! Nice preemptive strike-"

"Murasuke-kun, who is a homerun hitter, broke the deadlock with a front hitter in the middle field and let Aomichi score first."

Amid the cheers on the field, Daiki Murasuke was standing next to the first base bag, handing over the handguards to his teammates who had come to help, and bending down to take off the ankle braces.

"Komagato-Komaki High School requested a change of players, and pitcher Tanaka-kun replaced Kikuchi-kun; Six, pitcher, Tanaka-kun. ”

Tanaka Shodai, who was warming up in the cowshed, could only end his warm-up in desperation and trot over to the pitcher's mound.

Reaching out to take the baseball handed to him by the junior Kikuchi and nodding their heads to each other, Kikuchi walked away from the pitcher's mound, and Tanaka walked to the right side of the pitcher's board and bent down to grab the powder bag on the ground and pinched it.

After throwing the powder bag back on the ground and wiping the sweat from his cheeks with his sleeve, Admiral Tanaka, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, swung the baseball in his hand towards home plate.

……

While Komatomo Komaki and the catcher were warming up with their pitches, Tetsuya Yuuki, a six-batter, could only stand outside home plate and wait for the warm-up to end.

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of Seido High School, six bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun, back number 3." It was only after a minute's warm-up by the new pitcher, Shodai Tanaka, that the announcer's voice resounded over the field.

Tetsuya Yuuki, who lowered his head and tidied up the ground, held the bat in both hands and swung it under him, looked up at the pitcher, then clenched the bat and raised it high, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

After the hitter was ready, Tanaka turned his head to look at Takashi Fujii, a runner who was standing off the base, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a straight ball with an out-of-the-way near belt at home plate at a speed of 140 km/h.

"Bang!" Catcher Shu Kobayashi straightens his left hand forward and catches the baseball flying from the left side of the good ball zone.

“Ball.“

Tanaka, who threw the bad ball first, turned his head to look at the runner at second base, then raised his leg, stepped and waved his arm to throw a belt-high straight ball at home plate.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

The baseball, which flew past the edge of the zone at a speed of 140 km/h, was about to fall into the catcher's glove moments before the batter Tetsuya Yuuki swept the past bat and hit the bottom half of the ball, and flew backwards to the left.

"Smack!"

Approaching the field, Naoki Okayagawa, a left fielder who stayed in the area behind the left field, kicked the ground with his right foot, raised his left hand upwards, grabbed the high fly ball that flew from the hitter, and took him out.

"Catch! Left fielder Naoki Okagawa defended the dangerous situation of first and second base with a beautiful guard before Gang Wrist Tanaka's engine was fully activated! ”

……

"In the first half of the second game, Koma Otomaki High School attacked, four sticks, middle fielder, Honma-kun, back number 8." Eighty seconds after the end of the previous game, the second game was announced by a resounding announcement over the court.

Yagami took the baseball passed to him by Yuuki and turned to stand on the pitcher's board, waiting for the hitter Atsushi Honma to prepare for the blow.

Atsushi Honma, who had lowered his head to tidy up the ground, rested his bat on his right shoulder, turned his head to look at the pitcher, bent back, and then grasped the bat with both hands in the grip position, and raised the bat forward to wait for the blow.
