As the batter held his bat high and stood on the left hitting zone, Yagami stepped forward with his leg raised and threw his left hand at home plate with a belt-high slide.

"Whew!"

A baseball that moves horizontally from near the hitter's belt to the right with a ball speed of 132 km/h is caught by a glove that is open to the left above the right hit area after flying out of the high position of the hit zone.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

Facing a two-batter who was more cautious in his selection, Yagami Yagama, who stepped forward and stepped on his right leg, threw a high curveball into home plate.

"Bang!"

A baseball that moves diagonally from the hitter's right shoulder at a ball speed of 129 km/h is caught by a glove that is open forward by the hand on the outside of the middle of the outside corner after passing through the high position of the outside corner.

“Strike...“

With his first outs on the verge of getting his first out, Qingdao pitcher Yagami followed the catcher's code and swung his arm to shoot a high inward fastball toward home plate.

"Bang!"

In front of the hitter's chest, a baseball moving horizontally to the right with a ball speed of 144 km/h flew over the home plate and was caught by a glove raised by the captor above the right hitting area.

“Ball.“

After the ball was two good and one bad, Yagami Ye threw a knuckle ball at home plate and fell vertically in front of the hitter at a ball speed of 130km/h.

"Ping!"

As the catcher moved the glove inward, the baseball, which fell down to the middle and low position of the outside corner, was hit by the batter Yuya Miki and flew high forward.

"Smack!"

Chased by the shortstop Taro Fukuda, the batter's flying baseball crashed in front of him on the lawn of the Nakamida, and was then caught by the left fielder Takashi Fujii.

“safe.“

Yuya Miki, who ran forward to first base, raised his hand in celebration, returned to the base bag and stood up, and handed the protective gear he took off to his teammates who came to help amid the cheers of the spectators on the court.

"In the first half of the ninth inning, Komato's attack from Komakomai High School, three bats, first baseman, Nakazawa-kun, back number 3."

He waved his bat with his right hand, and the three-batter Nakazawa Ryu also turned his head to look at the pitcher, leaning the bat on his left shoulder and clenching his hands together.

“play ball.“ After the referee reached out to guide the pitcher to tee off, Nakazawa also raised the bat on his left shoulder upwards and waited for the blow.

"Whew!"

After throwing a containment ball to first base to prevent the runner from getting too far from base, Yagami reached forward with his right leg and threw the outside corner knuckle to home plate with his left hand.

"Ping!"

The baseball that fell longitudinally into the low area of the outer corner with a ball speed of 127km/h, and the beaten man Nakazawa also hit the center of the ball with his bat and flew backwards forward.

"Home run!!"

The baseball, which flew over the pitcher's mound and above second base, had no intention of falling, and after reaching the depths of the field, it continued to sprint forward, and then flew over the wall and fell to the stands behind the back under the watchful eyes of the fielder Murasuke Taiki, who climbed the home run wall.

"Nakazawa Ryu also hit the knuckle ball thrown by Yagami Night! I hit a home run with a two-point hit!! ”

"Now, the difference between the two sides is only 1 point——!!"

Amid thunderous applause from the crowd on the field, Ryaya Nakazawa, who had run past each base bag and returned to home plate, high-fived his two teammates who were waiting for him back at home plate, and ran back to the rest area on the side of first base.

"Nakazawa ——!!"

Ryu Nakazawa, who ran back to the rest area, hugged his teammates who were waiting for him in the rest area excitedly, patted his back or shoulder, or reached out to high-five him. At this moment, he is the brightest person in the whole team.

When the audience seat where Komato's support group and supporters were regaining their vitality, the Qingdao players who had requested a timeout gathered on the pitcher's mound and cleared their minds while taking deep breaths to adjust their condition.

"Adjust your condition, Saya-"

"The winner of the decisive victory and the re-trial must be ours!!"

Everyone else had already dispersed, and Chris, who was standing in front of the pitcher's mound, turned his head and said the last words to Yagami before turning and running back to home plate.

"In the first half of the ninth inning, Koma Otomaki Komaki High School's attack, four sticks, middle fielder, Honma-kun, back number 8."

The cheers on the field were unusually noisy, and Atsushi Honma, who was standing in the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and raised his bat upright with both hands clenched.

"Captain, hit the first ball!"

"Swing the bat!!"

Koma Otomaki Komaki, who was staying in the rest area, was cheering for his teammates on the field, and he didn't need 2 points, just 1 point! As long as it goes to overtime, the final winner must be theirs.

"Gotta get on base!"

'We can't lose here, we can't just end the game.'

Atsushi Honma, who turned his head to look at the pitcher, clenched the bat in his hand and waited for the pitcher's pitch.

"Whew!"

After the timeout was over, and when the hitter was ready, Yagami reached forward with his right leg and waved his arm to home plate to throw a four-seam fast ball near the knee.

"Bang!"

At 149 km/h, the ball passes through the baseball in the outer corner and is caught by the glove that the hand has opened forward.

“Strike.“

After Yagami waited for the four batters to get ready again, Yagami was gasping for breath on the pitcher's board, and then reached forward with his right foot and threw his left hand towards home plate with a knee-high quadruple seam fast ball.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which crossed the edge of the outside corner at a speed of 143 km/h, was hit by the bat swept past by the batter Atsushi Honma, and flew backwards towards first base.

"Out of bounds!"

The baseball, which was speeding past the left side of first base, was not picked up by Tetsuya Yuki, the first baseman who was guarding behind, and rolled into the lawn outside the touchline of the right field after landing on the sidelines.

Yagami opened his gloves to take the new baseball passed to him by the chief judge, bent down and grabbed the powder bag on the ground and pinched it, and while raising his hand to blow off the excess powder, he got up and stood on the pitcher's board. In the meantime, the batter who returns to home run is ready for the batting zone.

"Whew!"

Lifting his right foot forward, Yagami Yagami throws a two-seam fast ball slightly wide of the home plate with his left arm.

"Bang!"

A baseball that falls longitudinally at a speed of 133 km/h is caught by a glove placed under the crotch by the hand after the batter misses the swing from above.

"Good shot! The batter is out! ”

In the cheers of the audience on the field, Yagami Yagami struck the opponent's four bats Atsushi Honma three times and got the first number of outs in the game.

"In the first half of the ninth inning, Komato's attack from Komaki High School, five bats, left fielder, Okagawa-kun, back number 7." After Atsushi Honma returned to the rest area with his bat, the announcer's voice resounded over the court.

"Then it's the turn of the five, left fielder, Naoki Okagawa."

"Can Qingdao solve the five bats that have hit hits in a row from the ace, and the six bats that have followed, and get the win?"

"Or can Okayamawa open up the situation and let the game continue?"

Naoki Okayagawa, who was standing in the batting area, waved the bat with his left hand, looked up at the pitcher, rested the bat on his right shoulder, clenched his hands, and waited for the pitcher to start pitching.

"I was able to use a not-so-mature knuckle ball to get the captain out-".

"But I won't let it go to you!"

"Only Koshien won the prize, and you can't give it to anyone under any circumstances!!"
