As the batter rests the bat on his left shoulder and turns his head to look at him, Tanaka throws a belted ball with a speed of 118 km/h toward home plate.

"Whew!"

The baseball, which flew forward to the left of the hit zone, moved diagonally down from near the hitter's abdomen, then landed behind the right edge of home plate, and was finally caught by a glove that was flare up under the crotch pad of the hand.

"Smack!"

“Ball.“

Tanaka, who threw a bad ball first, glanced at Chris, who was standing on base, and threw a knee-high slide ball at home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Whew!"

A baseball that moves laterally in front of the player's right thigh at a speed of 136 km/h is moved from a low position in the outside corner to the left behind the corner, and the bat swept past by the hitter hits it and flies backwards in the direction of the left field.

"Ping!"

"Smack!" The baseball that landed near the middle of the left field's touchline was driven from left to right by left fielder Naoki Okagawa to hit the home run wall deep in the left field.

"Boom!" The baseball, which hit the home run wall, bounced backwards towards the left fielder and was picked up by Naoki Okagawa, who was waiting there.

With a sideways swing, Okayagawa passed the ball to the shortstop who was in front of the field, preventing the runner from continuing to advance to base, but Chris, a runner at second base, had already stepped over home plate at this time to score the second point of the game for Aomichi.

"The runner on second base rushes past third base! And then ran past home plate—"

"Score!!"

"Taro Fukuda hit the slider that Shogun Tanaka is good at, and hit second base and hit a well-timed hit!!"

"Now, the difference between the two sides has widened to two points——!!"

Under the gaze of General Tanaka, whose face was covered with sweat, Chris who ran forward to the home plate reached out and high-fived Principal Tanaka next to him in celebration, and then turned around and ran back to the rest area of Aodo.

"Fukuda ——!!"

Chris ran back to the rest area on the side of third base amid the shouts of the crowd on the field to Senior Fukuda.

Yagami Yagami, who was standing in the middle of the two partitions, opened his gloves to catch the baseball passed to him by Matsuda-senpai, and then moved out of the way to let Yuu, who had returned from the field, enter the rest area, take a break, and then change the catcher's equipment.

"In the second half of the second inning, the attack of Seido High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Tanaka-kun ......"

After grabbing the bat and swinging it forward a few times, Yuki Tanaka clenched the bat and raised it forward while turning his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the blow.

"Whew!"

Turning his head to look at the runner at second base, Tanaka reached forward with his left leg and threw his right arm high at home plate.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which was falling diagonally from the top of the outside corner, was caught by the open-ended glove of the catcher Hideki Kobayashi as it fell to the right at a speed of 126 km/h.

“Ball.“

Tanaka, who threw the bad ball in the first shot, stepped with his leg up and waved his arm to the home plate to throw a two-seam fast ball.

"Whew!"

A baseball flying at 130 km/h over the edge of the good zone is caught low behind the corner by a glove that the hand has opened downward.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

"Whew!"

The pitcher's third pitch is a curveball that turns to the right on the outside high post and then drops diagonally behind the good zone.

"Bang!"

The baseball, which fell down to the corner of the hitting area, was grabbed by the glove reached out by the hand.

“Ball...“

"Ping!"

After the ball was counted one good and two bad, Tanaka threw a belt-high straight ball (139 km/h) towards home plate, hit the top of the bat swung by the batter in the middle of the outside corner, and smashed it down to the sideline of the right hitting area.

"Smack!"

After landing, the baseball flew out of bounds to the left, bringing the ball count to 2:2.

"Whew!"

After throwing a containment ball to second base to avoid the runner getting too far from base, Tanaka threw a belted ball high curved toward home plate at a speed of 129km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was moved diagonally from the front of the left side of the hit area to the middle and low position, hit the bottom of the bat, which was swung by Yuki Tanaka, and flew high forward.

"Smack!"

The baseball flying over the second baseman was caught in the back of the field by the raised hands of the fielder Atsushi Honma, who was waiting there.

"Catch! Three people are out, and the offense and defense are exchanged. ”

"Koma Otomo Komaki ace Tanaka will use a curveball to make the batsman knock out a high fly ball in the middle field, and then he is picked up by the middle and middle fielder Atsushi Honma!"

"Although Tanaka-kun had a second base before, he won the last out,"

"Didn't let Qingdao High School continue to score ——!!"

Taro Fukuda, who had returned from the court, handed the batting cap to Tojima in front of him, took the ice water in his hand and drank it down.

He returned the glass to Tojima, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his neck and cheeks, then took the cap and gloves as the others watched and complimented him on the hit.

After a short break, Taro Fukuda handed the towel that covered the back of his neck to Sakai next to him, and returned to the arena with Chris, who had already changed into a catcher outfit.

……

"In the first half of the third inning, Koma Otomaki High School attacked, seven sticks, right fielder, Washiya-kun, back number 9." Sixty-six seconds after the end of the previous inning, the announcer's voice resounded from above the court, announcing the start of the first half of the third inning.

"Whew!"

When the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him, Yagami raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to the home plate to throw a near-belt curveball at a speed of 118km/h.

"Bang!"

The baseball flew past the hitter's belt and plunged to the right, then was grabbed by the hand's outstretched glove just as it was about to hit the right side of home plate.

“Ball.“

Yagami Yagama, who threw the bad ball for the first time, reached forward with his right foot and threw his left hand towards home plate after the hitter was ready again.

"Whew!"

The baseball, which flew into the strike zone from the side of the hitter's belt, moved sideways at a speed of 134 km/h to the low position in the outside corner, and was about to fly out of the hit zone, and when it fell into the catcher's open ball sleeve to the right, it was hit by the bat, which was swept past by the batter Osamu Washiya.

"Ping!"

"Boom!" Smash the baseball in front of the batting zone and home plate to the right and bounce towards first base.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which landed on the right side of the baseball, was grabbed by first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki in the abdomen in the forward bounce from the front of the right field.

“out.“

Yagami opened his gloves to catch Yuuki's baseball in front of his chest, stepped forward with his right foot over the base, and blocked the runner who flew to the base immediately behind.

Osamu Washiya Washiya got up and picked up the batting cap that rolled forward, and ran back to Komaomai Omakino's rest area.

"In the first half of the second inning, Komato's attack from Komakomai High School, eight bats, second baseman, Yamaguchi-kun, back number 4."

As soon as he ran over the fence and into the rest area, the announcer's voice rang out from over the pitch.

Yamaguchi, who lowered his head and tidied up the ground, looked up at the pitcher, and while holding the baseball in the grip position, he raised the bat and waited for the strike.

"Whew!"

When the hitter was ready to strike, Yagami reached forward with his right foot and flicked his left hand to home plate to throw a fast ball with a high second knee stitch.
