Chapter 434: October (Twelve)

"Tamba! Tamba! Tanba..."Minister Ota was so excited that he waved his right hand into a fist while shouting the name of the trump card.

"Well voted!" First baseman Tetsuya Yuuki clenched his right hand into his chest and stretched out his right hand to the ace.

"Great!" After the ace successfully weathered the difficulty, second baseman Ryosuke Kominato did not hesitate to praise himself.

"Ahh

"Woo quack!"

Shortstop Yoichi Kuramochi and third baseman Toru Masuko let out their characteristic laughter and strange sounds, respectively.

"Well done! Tambo. Jun Izagiki, who came running from the midfield, said to the ace in an affirmative tone.

"In this way, Qingdao will survive it." Ota and Akiko, who were infected by the outstanding performance of the Seido ace, said to the colleagues next to them.

"yes!" Feng Fujio looked at the ace of Qingdao who ran back to the rest area with his teammates, and said slowly: "I survived with the ace's tenacious pitching." ”

"It's so difficult, I thought he was going to collapse like this..."Narumi Narumiya, who returned from second base to the entrance and exit of the rest area to change his equipment, turned his head to look at Tanba, who had returned to the rest area on the opposite side.

"Definitely!" Masako Harada, who was crouching next to him and wearing a catcher gear, was unimpressed, because Tanba's reinvigoration had been expected by him.

"We are not the only ones who work hard and grow."

"It's going to be overtaken!" The Seido players formed a circle on the periphery of the rest area, and Tetsuya Yuuki shouted loudly as the captain.

"Let's go!" Others chimed in and said they must overtake the score in the second half of the game.

"Crush them with their efforts!" Looking at the Qingdao players who scattered after shouting the slogan on the other side, Harada Masako said to Narumi Narumiya, who was about to run up the pitcher's hill next to him.

"Without such a strong fighting spirit, you can't stand on Koshien!"

"Remove the obstacles, that's all." Narumi Narumiya said in a dragging tone to Masako Harada, his partner and senior.

……

"Bang!"

At the same time as the six-batter's swing missed, Masako Harada's outstretched glove caught the high straight ball thrown by Narimiya and went straight through the belt in the inner corner.

"Strikeout!"

"Finally, a straight shot into the inside corner!"

"Entering the fifth game, Narimiya's pitching is getting more and more aggressive!"

"It's up to this game." Takahiro Hirakawa, a third-year city university player who came to watch the game, said to his companion next to him.

"Hmm... After being overtaken, the situation of the game began to change. Takahiro Ohmae said in his magnetic, gentle voice.

"If this game... If the Qingdao beaters go up and down three times, the initiative will completely fall into the hands of Daocheng Industry. ”

"Inagi Industry, which takes advantage of the opponent's mistakes to attack, is quite terrifying!" Oshima, who served as the second baseman in the team and focused on the base with Takahiro Hirakawa, and created opportunities for the center line to score, got up and said.

……

"Through, the ball landed in the center-right outfield!"

"Nagumo, who hit a hit, went straight to second base!"

In this conference, Shiichi Nagumo, who has been playing on behalf of him for two consecutive days, knocked out the outfield long play from Naruto Narumiya.

"Qingdao University hit its fourth hit of the game!"

"This second-base hit was won by one-year-old Nagumo from Narimiya!"

"Good! Well played! ”

"Don't take our job! But... Well played! ”

The Qingdao runners who stayed in the rest area were applauding Nagumo's performance.

"It's amazing!" Miyukiichi, who had just been struck by Narimiya, also knew very well how difficult it was for Nagumo to knock out a second base hit from him.

"One out, there's someone on second base. Now is the time to score points. ”

"Standing in the hitting area is the eight bats, the left fielder, Menda."

"I won't let you hit it!" After muttering to himself, Narimiya, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw the baseball in his hand.

"Ding!" Kadoda changed the long stick to a short one, and hit the low straight ball from the outside corner thrown by Narimiya forward.

"Ming, pass the first base!" Masako Harada, who hurriedly got up, shouted to Narimiya, who ran down the pitcher mound to pick up the ball.

"Out!"

Narumiya, who reached out to catch the rolling baseball, waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to first base according to the catcher's request, blocking the runner who had run not far from the first baseman.

"Two out, someone on third base. Qingdao chose to give priority to runners to third base. ”

"Well done, Menda!"

"Pretty tank!"

Returning to the rest area, Masaki Kadoda was welcomed by his classmates.

"Qingdao is hitting with a strike sacrifice at such a time?" Ota and Akiko are puzzled by Kataoka's tactics.

"I think I'm showing weakness."

"When there is someone on third base...", Minefufu began to solve the puzzles of his colleagues.

"Needless to say, if you only play in the outfield, you can get a point."

"Also, be careful about missing the catch... Supervisor Kataoka uses this method to put pressure on the other side. ”

"Nine, right fielder, Hakushu."

"Hakushu..."

After the announcer finished broadcasting, Kenjiro Hakushu walked to the left shot area and stood in the shouts of the support group.

"The feet are fast, the strikes are accurate." Masako Harada glanced at it, leaned the bat on his left shoulder, turned his head to look at Kenjiro Hakushu, the Qingdao Nine Stick of Narimiya, and thought to himself.

"In a sense, he is the most balanced among the Qingdao fighters..."

"Don't be careless, Ming!"

……

"Shoot straight, come straight!" Kenjiro Hakushu, who aimed at hitting the straight ball, prayed that Narimiya would definitely throw the straight ball.

"Whew!"

On the first ball, Narumiya threw a knee-high slide ball into home plate and moved laterally from the side of the hitter's right thigh at a speed of 132km/h.

"Bang!"

Masako Harada stretched out his left hand and grabbed the baseball that had moved to the right out of the low area of the outside corner.

β€œStrike.β€œ

"Bang!"

At the same time as Kenjiro Hakushu leaned to the left side to avoid being hit by the ball, Masako Harada stretched out his glove upwards and caught the high straight ball that Narumiya threw towards home plate.

β€œBall.β€œ

"Narimiya took a relentless attack."

"The third ball..."

"Okay, it's a straight ball!" After aiming at the ball, Kenjiro Hakushu swung out the bat that he had erected in his hand without hesitation.

"Ping!"

The knee-high ball in the middle was hit by the batter and smashed backwards into the sand in front of the right hit area, turning into a bocce ball in the direction of the shortstop.

"Smack!"

Shortstop Katsuyuki Shirakawa, who was running from left to right, reached out and grabbed the baseball rolling from home plate, then waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to first base.

"Out!"

The baseball that landed on the Uchino lawn bounced off the glove that was reaching for first baseman Ryo Yamaoka, and then, at the last moment, allowed Ryo Yamaoka to catch the ball quickly before the runner stepped on the base.

"Ah!!h

"White River..."

The support group in the stands immediately cheered for Katsuyuki Shirakawa's wonderful performance.

"Shirakawa handled the boccia ball beautifully that hit the shortstop side, and the ball bounced once on the infield lawn and went to first base."

"Shortstop Shirakawa, nice defense!"

"Qingdao University, this game still failed to score... However, both teams presented a wonderful attack and defense for everyone. ”。

"Come on next time, come on next time!" Naoya Kuraza, who ran to first base with a cap and gloves, did not forget to encourage Hakushu while exchanging equipment.

"It's just a little bit, Hakushu!" Tetsuya Yuuki, who came from the rest area to guard first base, comforted the junior who almost knocked out a hit.
