Tanaka reached out to take the baseball from Hidehide Kobayashi, took off his hat and apologized, and stepped back to the pitcher's board to stand.

When the hitter was ready, Tanaka raised his big hands above his head, stepped forward with his left foot, and waved his right hand to shoot a two-seam fast ball to home plate.

"Whew!"

At a speed of 140 km/h, the ball flies to the baseball with a low position in the inside corner, and the bat, which is swung downward, hits the center of the ball and flies low to the left.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed behind the pitcher's mound rolled forward and was caught by the shortstop Yuya Miki in a crouching position and outstretched his hands.

He stepped forward and waved his arm to pass the ball to first base, but unfortunately due to a mistake in the pass, Ryuzawa could only jump up and straighten his left hand to catch the baseball passed by Yuya Miki.

"Smack!"

When he landed, the runner was just one step ahead of him and stepped on the base bag first, and the first base, which was located behind the first base, saw the situation and raised his hands flat: "safe."

Yuya Miki, who made a mistake in passing, was a little depressed, and while turning and walking back, he shook his right hand to avoid further mistakes in the back.

"The bottom half of the fourth inning, the attack of Seido High School, eight bats, right fielder, Ota-kun ......"

When the batter is ready to raise the bat, the pitcher Tanaka will throw a mid-center speed ball to home plate due to the fielder's mistake in the defense.

"Whew!"

"Ping!"

At a speed of 110km/h, he was about to plunge into the center of the baseball, when the batter Hiroshi Ota swung his past hit the top half and flew to the left.

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in front of the right hit area bounced off the infield, and then after the infield landed again, it dodged the shortstop's flying interception, and bounced to the lawn of the center-left field, and then rolled forward, and was reached out and picked up by the left fielder Naoki Okagawa, who ran from the middle of the left field.

Seeing this, Chris, who had already run through second base, stopped and continued to run the base, and stepped back from the second baseman to stand on the base.

At the same time, Hiroshi Ota, who ran past first base, applauded and celebrated, and then stepped back to stand on first base.

Hiroshi Ota first took off the protective gear at his elbow, then bent down to take off the protective gear on his ankle and handed them over to his teammates who came to help next to him, and the announcer's voice sounded again on the radio above the court.

"The bottom half of the fourth inning, the attack of Seido High School, nine bats, pitcher, Ota-kun ......"

Yagami yatsuya, who was standing on the batting area with his legs apart, knocked on the ground with his left hand in his left hand, and while looking up at the pitcher, he raised the bat erect and clenched his hands while waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

When the hitter was ready, Tanaka swung his arm high into home plate and threw a high knee slide at 132km/h.

"Ding!"

Yagami Yagami, who changed the long baton to a short bat, knocked out the baseball that had been displaced laterally to a low position in the inner corner.

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in front of the right corner of the home plate rolled forward to the sand in front of the pitcher's mound, and was caught by Tanaka's hands that ran down.

“out.“

With a sideways wave of his arm, Tanaka passed a large handful of the baseball he had just received to third base, allowing third baseman Tadao Mitani to catch his pass first before the runner was about to slide onto the base.

Yagami Yagami turned around and walked back desperately on first base, and after the opponent chose to pass the ball to third base, he could only apologize to Chris, who was blocked out.

"In the second half of the fourth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a guerrilla, Fukuda-kun......" After Yagami handed over the protective gear he had taken off to Senior Namiki, who came to help, the announcer's voice sounded over the court again.

"Whew!"

Once the batter is holding the bat and turning his head to look at him, Tanaka will reach forward with his left foot and swing his arm towards home plate to throw a straight ball high into the outside corner.

"Bang!"

When the hitter did not swing the bat, catcher Hideki Kobayashi raised his left hand upwards to catch the flying baseball.

“Ball.“

After the hitter was ready to strike again, Tanaka followed the catcher's code and swung his arm to throw a knuckle ball into the outside corner of home plate.

"Whew!"

The baseball flew forward at 125 km/h to the baseball behind the low position in the outside corner, and before it was about to be grabbed by the glove reached by the arrester, the hitter Taro Fukuda swung the bat and knocked the ball away.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in front of the corner of the left hitting area flew forward and re-landed on the left side of the pitcher's mound, and then rolled into the outfield and was caught by second baseman Yamaguchi, who was crouching in front of him.

“out.“

Turning to the right, Yuya Miki reached out and dropped the ball to the shortstop who was on second base, blocking Yagami Yagama, a runner who had just run past him.

"Three out, offense and defense exchange."

Koma Otomakomai left the field one after another and returned to the rest area on the first base, while the Qingdao runners walked out of the rest area one after another, leaving the newly returned catchers and shortstops outside the rest area to change their equipment, and the others ran onto the field under the leadership of Higashi Kiyokoku.

"The game is only in the middle of the game, you have to defend well!"

"Oh——!!"

……

"In the first half of the fifth inning, attacked by Komama Otomaki High School, five bats, left fielder, Okagawa-kun ......" One minute after the end of the previous game, the sound of the radio resounded over the court, announcing the start of the fifth game.

After the referee cleared the home plate and left, Naoki Okagawa stepped into the batting area and stood still, waved the bat with his left hand and leaned it on his right shoulder, looking up at the pitcher while holding the bat with both hands and waiting for the ball to be delivered.

"Whew!" When the hitter was ready, pitcher Yagami threw a high fast ball to home plate with a speed of 137km/h.

"Bang!" Catcher Chris quickly moved his glove behind the outside corner to the left, then a little bit up in front of the hitter's chest to catch the fast ball that was hurtling from the pitcher's mound.

“Ball.“

When the batter rested his bat on his right shoulder again, clasped his hands tightly, and turned his head to look at him, Yagami Yagama, who had made the first bad ball, reached forward with his right leg and threw his hand towards home plate with a high-kneeled two-seam fast ball.

"Whew!"

As Naoki Okagawa watched, a baseball that crossed the edge line at a speed of 135 km/h was caught behind the corner by the capsule's open glove.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

After the number of balls was good and bad, Yagami Yagami threw the speed ball and when it fell longitudinally to the middle and low position of the inside corner at a speed of 121km/h, the baseball hit the bottom half of the ball and flew backwards to the left.

"Ping!"

Yagami turned to look at the outfield, and under his watchful eye, Takashi Fujii, the left fielder who stayed deep in the middle field, ran from left to right to the center and left field, and then could only watch as the baseball flying from home plate fell in front of him.

"Smack!"

Takashi Fujii opened his glove and grabbed the baseball that bounced off the lawn, then took the baseball out of the glove with his right hand and waved it to second base with a wave of his arm.

Seeing this, Naoki Okagawa, a runner who had already run the first base, hurriedly stopped running forward and returned to the first base.

Raise your right hand over your head in a fist and make a celebratory gesture! After that, Naoki Okagawa took off the elbow and ankle protectors and handed them to his teammates who came to help.
