"Huh!"

Faced with the pitcher's second ball in the outside corner of the low straight ball, Carl Ross swung the bat in his hand, but he didn't expect to catch up with the flying baseball and sweep it from above.

"Bang!"

Looking down at the baseball caught by the left hand that was being held forward by the arrestee, Carl Ross now had a look of rare surprise.

“！”

If there is no information about Gan Xiangang, they are afraid that they will have to be eliminated several beaters before they can figure out what is going on.

"His straight ball... Standing in the strike position, it really looks like it will float up. ”

The ball speed is around 120km, which is similar to the weird straight ball of the slow straight ball, plus the speed of the ball at 90km, and the combination of Nagumo's possession level is one of the best in the Kanto region. If there is no information from Gan Xiangang in advance, he will be able to hold the next eight or nine innings without losing 1~2 points with straight balls and variable speed balls plus the guidance of Miyuki Kazuya, and it is even possible not to lose points.

"This is it!"

"It's this speedball!"

Carl Ross, who was holding his bat high, looked at the baseball thrown by Nagumo's swing arm, raised his left foot and stepped forward, swinging the bat in his hand hard.

"It's almost the same posture as just now... The ball speed is so much worse..."

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

Unfortunately, when he saw clearly that it was the speedball and then swung the bat, the timing of the swing was a little late, and he could only knock the ball out of bounds to the left without handling it properly.

"The first time I saw Nagumo's speedball... But he was hit. ”

“...”

"What the hell is going on with that guy Carl Ross..."

"His style of play is as if he had studied Nagumo beforehand..."

In the rest area on the third base, there were several Qingdao players who were puzzled and puzzled by this.

"Intelligence from the Emperor Dong..."

"So much so that he was already aiming for the speed ball..."

Turning his head to look at Carl Ross next to him, Yukiichi Mikoichi, who had re-squatted behind the home plate, quickly figured out what was going on.

"Since they're specifically targeting the speedball, it's better to use it the other way around—"

"Just use a speedball that falls out of the good zone... Let him swing his bat. ”

Looking at the code that the catcher compared, Nan Yunshi nodded, raised his leg and stepped forward, and threw his right hand at home plate to throw the baseball in his hand.

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

At the same time that Carl Ross swung his bat missed, Koichi Mikoichi also caught the pitcher's baseball from behind the outside corner.

"Strikeout! The batter is out! ”

"Ah!!h The shouts of the spectators resounded through the sky, and they were conquered by the pitch of Shiichi Nagumo.

"Attack and guard."

"Nagumo!"

After Nagumo returned from the pitcher's mound, Koichiro Tanba reached out to him with a fist in his left hand.

"Well voted!"

Seeing this, Nan Yunshi clenched his right hand into a fist and touched the senior.

……

"Harada!" As Masako Harada walked towards home plate, the Kunitomo Overseer stopped him.

"Yes!" Masako Harada turned to look at the overseer of the country's friends who had stopped him.

"This game is very important..."

"Hmm!" Nodding, Harada Masako coincided with the idea of the Guoyou Supervisor.

"Don't give them a chance to fight back!"

……

"In the second half of the seventh inning, the attack of Qingdao High School..."

"Four bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun."

Tetsuya Yuuki, who was standing in the batting area, rested the bat on his right shoulder, clasped his hands, and turned his head to look at Narimiya on the pitcher's mound, waiting for the ball to be bowled.

Fujio Mine: "After the crisis... For Qingdao, it is a good opportunity to reverse the form. ”

"Ping!"

The baseball that moved laterally from the front of the good ball area to Tetsuya Yuuki's right thigh was thrown off by him and flew to the left.

"Yuuki-kun knocked the slider out of bounds, and it's still two good and three bad."

"Yuuki-kun is biting on his opponent!"

Holding the bat with both hands and swinging it forward, Tetsuya Yuuki raised the bat high in the air as he turned his head to look at Narimiya, ready to strike.

"After exchanging codes, Narumiya-kun threw the 8th ball."

"Ping!"

The knee straight ball from the outside corner crossed the edge line at 142km/h, and was stopped by Tetsuya Yuuki with a swing just before it fell into the catcher's glove, and then flew backwards in a fierce collision.

"The straight ball is out!"

"The midfielder rushed backwards..."

This ball flew far away, could it be a home run? ”

"Bang!" Field fielder Carl Ross climbed the home run wall with his right foot against the wall and opened his gloves to grab the baseball that flew over him as it was about to hit the barbars in the wall.

"Pick up... Catch! ”

"Caught firmly, the middle fielder Kamiya Karros did a great job!"

"Daocheng Industry is not inferior to Qingdao in defense!"

Tetsu Yuuki, who thought he could at least hit second base, was surprised when he was picked up and knocked out by midfielder Carl Ross.

"What a hazard! Straight to the spot where the ball landed. Ota and Akiko were surprised by Carl Ross's performance and stood up straight from the bench.

"To be able to show such a performance in the current situation, is this the superb comprehensive strength of Inami!?" Fujio Mine, who was sitting next to Ota and Akiko, was so surprised by Carl Ross's performance that he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

"For Qingdao, the four bats that were the core of the line were originally powerful blows, but they were stopped in this way."

"It's... That's it..."

The form on the field was as he expected, and after the morale was hit, the Qingdao five and six sticks were successively struck by the ace of Daocheng Industrial, Cheng Gong Ming.

"If you miss the shot, the batsman is out!"

The "......" Qingdao runners and their support group all had surprised and incredulous expressions.

"Ah!!

"Good..."

"Well done, Naru!"

"Well voted!"

The audience where the Daocheng Industrial Support Group is located is extremely lively, and they are not only excited by the ace's excellent pitching, but also happy because of the opponent's center line.

"Cast beautifully!" Outfielder Carl Ross turned to him as he passed behind the ace.

"Thank you! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Carl Ross..."Seeing this, Naruto Narumiya hurriedly chased after him and expressed his gratitude to him.

……

"With a difference of three points, is there only 2 rounds left for Qingdao's attack?"

"I must be in a hurry."

"If you lose any more points, it will be fatal, and the pressure to throw will be very high."

Because today's game determines who is the king of the Tokyo metropolitan area, so many strong schools have players come to watch the game.

"In the first half of the eighth inning, the attack of Daocheng Industry... Two sticks, guerrilla, Shirakawa-kun. ”

"I definitely don't want to... Let them score again! "Nagumo Shiichi stood on the pitcher's mound, looked at the hitter who was preparing on the batting area, and secretly made up his mind alone.

"I want to win this game... Then head to Koshien to continue playing baseball! ”

“play ball.“ The batter prepares, and the referee extends his right hand forward and signals the pitcher to start pitching.
