Chapter 436: October (14)
"It works, it works!"
"Hit one out!"
The Seido support team, under the leadership of Kenta Maezono, who has a loud voice, cheers for Ryosuke Kominato, the player who is fighting on the field!
"Ping!"
Ryosuke Kominato swings his bat and hits the knuckle ball that Narumiya Narumiya throws to home plate, knocking out the boccia ball in the direction of the second baseman!
"Smack!"
The baseball that landed in front of the left batting area bounced all the way to the infield, and was picked up by Tsubasa Hirai, the second baseman who ran from deep in the infield.
“out.“
Tsubasa Hirai waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to Yamaoka and blocked the runner who was about to touch the base pack when he was about to touch the base.
"Ahhh!!h
"Good..."
"Two out, two out!"
Whether it was the Inagi players on the field or the Inagi players in the rest area, everyone cheered for this.
"That's amazing!"
"Is this pitcher really invincible?"
"Now the winner is decided!"
Under the influence of Narumi Narimiya's wonderful performance, more and more viewers are optimistic that Inagi Industry will win the final victory, even if the opponent is Qingdao who has just achieved national hegemony in the summer.
"In the second half of the sixth inning, there are already two people out, and Qingdao is still no one on base!"
"Naru..."
Amid the shouts of the spectators, Ryo Kominato, the second baseman of the Seido group, ran behind home plate and towards the rest area in front.
"Well voted, Cheng Gong!"
"Three sticks, Nakamidain, Izaki-kun." Amid the sound of the resounding announcement over the court, Jun Izagi walked from the waiting area to the right-hitting area and stood up.
"Pure senior!"
"Please!"
Jun Izashaki, who raised his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher, was filled with the sound of the support team cheering him on.
"Hit you with a stick!" He can only have such an idea and compete with the opponent's trump card.
……
"Ping!"
After five balls of entanglement with Narimiya, Jun Izashaki swung his bat and hit his slider high and flew out in the direction of the outfield.
"Okay, fly a little farther for me!" After shouting these words, Jun Isashiki, who had already dropped his bat aside, rushed towards first base.
"Smack!"
The baseball, which passed through the infield defense, was firmly caught by the upwardly raised hands of the outfielder Carl Ross, who stood in front of the outfield.
"Out!"
"In this way, there will be three up and three down, and the offense and defense will be exchanged."
"Cheng Gong easily suppressed Qing Dao's upper line!"
"Up!" Tetsuya Yuuki, who changed his equipment, led everyone to the field as the captain.
"Woo quack!" Third baseman Masuko Toru followed closely behind and rushed to the field together.
"Bastard!" Jun Izashaki, who had just been picked up by the opponent, squatted next to first base and took off his leggings, then handed them to his teammates who came to help along with the gauntlets, took gloves and caps from him, and ran towards the outfielders.
……
"In the first half of the seventh game, the attack of Daocheng Industrial College..."
"Six, first baseman, Yamaoka-kun."
In the first half of the seventh inning, after Yamaoka Lu knocked out a hit on first base, Seido Pitch was in the face of Inagi Industrial Seven Bats, because the foot range and guarding range were not as good as Carl Rose, and the playing bench was changed from the top to the bottom, but when Keisuke Kawanishi, whose striking level was still at the forefront of the team, due to the worse and worse state of the ace, he was finally sent to base with four bad shots.
After that, Koichiro Tanba, who had eliminated eight bats Tsubasa Hirai and nine bats Kosong Naito (right fielder) to get two outs, suddenly had a cramp in his right foot, but fortunately after examination, he was fine.
"Seido High School requested a change of player, and it was Tanba-kun who was on the court to pitch the ball... Nagumo-kun. ”
"Pitcher Nagumo-kun replaces Tanba-kun; Left fielder Nagumo-kun was replaced by Sakai-kun; Seven bats, pitcher, Nagumo-kun; Eight bats, left fielder, Sakai-kun. ”
With the announcer's announcement, Nagumo Shiichi took the pitcher's gloves handed to him by his teammates and ran towards the pitcher's mound from the outfield; Ichiro Sakai ran from the rest area to the left field.
"Changed pitchers."
"After the ace had an accident, Qingdao gave him up."
"Depending on his condition, there is no way to do it."
"But... Now it's the key! ”
"If there's a problem with the shot, it's over."
The spectators in the stands were talking about Supervisor Kataoka's choice to change pitchers at this time.
"Tanba didn't even survive three rounds..."Takahiro Ohmae crossed his hands in front of his chest and said in his unique gentle voice: "He must be very unwilling to end up at such a time!" ”
"Is it the one-year outfielder who helped Qingdao get out of the full-base crisis with a wonderful guard in the last game?"
"In this case, do you want to switch to a year-old right shot?"
"It's coming..."Gan Kengang, who went to Jingu No. 2 Stadium alone to watch the decisive battle of the Autumn Conference, turned a deaf ear to the chatter of the surrounding audience, as if only Shiichi Nagumo, who played in place of the ace, could get his attention.
"Two out of the second half of the seventh game, and the difference with Daocheng Industry is 2 points..."
"Qingdao wants to turn the tide at this time-"
"When you change pitchers, you can get strikeouts right away... Or the batter hits the hit, allowing the runner to go to third base and even home plate, and the opponent seizes the offensive opportunity......"
"The two would be worlds apart—"
……
"Senpai-seni Harada, I heard Teto's Kengang say," Keiji Hirano walked over to the captain, Harada-senpai, and said to him.
"About Nagumo's intelligence ......"
"Carl Ross!" Masako Harada called Carl Ross, who had been staying at home base, over and told him the truth about the information he had received from Gan Xiangang.
……
"Let's go!"
After the pitching practice, Carl Ross walked to the batting area and held his bat high, turned his head to look at the opposite pitcher, and waited for the strike.
"Whew!"
Nagumo raised his leg and stepped forward, swung his right arm and threw the baseball in his palm at home plate.
"Bang!"
Mikokazu also opened his gloves forward, and under the gaze of Carl Ross, he caught the straight ball that Nagumo threw as requested.
“Strike.“ With his right hand clenched into a fist and raised over his shoulder, the presiding judge announced the ball.
"Oh whoa, ah——!hh
"Straight ball... It's dangerous! ”
"Which way the hell is that guy going!?"
The Qingdao support group in the stands was frightened by the ball just now.
"The first shot is missed!" Minister Ota had a panicked expression on his face again.
"No..."
"Nagumo just threw the ball towards Miyuki's requested position."
"Miyuki, that guy... It's really black-bellied! Kuroza Naoya whispered to the senior next to him.
"Hah! Why did Carl Ross let go of such a sweet ball? ”
"Does he really want to fight!?"
"That's a great opportunity!"
Among the supporters of Daocheng Industry, there are not a few who have doubts about this.
"It's really fake!" Takahiro Hirakawa was surprised by the pitching of the first-year pitcher of Seido.
"Shoot straight in this situation."
"It's not surprising to be blasted out by the other party." Takahiro Ohmae, like Hirakawa, was surprised by the ball that Aomichi throws.
"Don't talk about a long fight, if you lose points because of this, it's over!"
While verifying the authenticity of Kan Xiango's information, Carl Ross was also asked by captain Masako Harada to get more new information from Nagumo, even if it didn't matter if he couldn't finish the game because he couldn't get on base.
"Carl Ross - take this game!".
"Try to get on base!"
The support group of Daocheng Industry slapped the shouting microphone while cheering loudly for the players on the field!
