"Okay!"

"Kurachi!"

"Pretty short!"

Yoichi Kuramochi, who roared back from the field, was greeted by a group of teammates.

"It was put on the table, but then it was out."

Masako Harada glanced at Yoichi Kuramochi, who had returned to the rest area, and got up to say to Narimiya on the pitcher's mound.

"Naru! In the next hitter..."

"Got it!" Before Masako Harada could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an impatient trump card.

"In the second half of the eighth inning, Qingdao University finally scored again."

"It's two outs, and there's someone on third base."

"The runner enters the scoring lap, and at this point the second batter with a high batting rate, Ryosuke Kominato."

The second batter, Ryosuke Kominato, stood on the batting area with his legs apart, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and raised the bat vertically, clenched his hands and waited for the strike.

"He's standing so close to home plate..."

"Are you ready for a dead ball and are you going to aim for an outside corner?"

Faced with Hirakawa's doubts, Takahiro Ohmae spoke his thoughts.

"He's luring the opponent into a corner!"

……

"He's the toughest hitter in the Blue Lane, and yet he's standing so close to home plate..."

While paying attention to the beater's every move, Harada made a code to the pitcher.

"You don't need to shoot well."

"I know!" Narumiya, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, stepped forward with his right foot and threw a belt-high straight ball toward home plate with his left hand.

"Get out of the way for me!"

"Whew!"

……

"Ping!"

Raise his legs, step up, and swing the bat in his hand, and the hitter Ryosuke Kominato throws the pitcher's inside corner knee-high ball to the left.

"Smack!"

The baseball flying above the second baseman was chased by second baseman Tsubasa Hirai and landed on the lawn of the right field, and was caught by the right fielder Hirotaka Naito, who had rushed over after landing, in a bounce after landing.

"It's landed..."

"The right fielder Naito, although he ran desperately forward, still didn't catch it!"

"Two bats, hit a right fielder front hit, send third base runner Hakushu to home plate to score!"

"In the second half of the eighth inning, Daocheng Industrial was out, and when there were people on first base, it ushered in the attack of the Qingdao Center."

"Hmph... These juniors are really capable! The third bat, Jun Izashaki, got up from the waiting area and walked towards the hitting area with the bat.

"Ahh Then I'm not welcome to be in the limelight. ”

……

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

...

"Bang!"

"Bad ball!"

...

"Ping!"

"Out of bounds!"

"The number of balls is two good and two bad, and Izoshiki keeps entanglement with throw-ins."

"The offense is tricky." Oshima, a third-year player at the city university, paid attention to the situation on the field and said to his teammates next to him.

"He barely hit." Shimazu didn't believe that Izawaki could be entangled with Narimiya to this extent.

"No, he's right." Takahiro Ohmae knows very well that those students of the same level who were once unknown in Qingdao University have now been reborn, and their strength should be affirmed and valued.

"Izzoshiki always swings his bat with all his might on the first ball, so he hasn't been outstanding."

"However, he was able to hit the ball to the right with precision..."

"Come on, bastard!" After waving his bat with both hands, Jun Izashaki yelled at his opponent in front of him.

"It's annoying." Narumi Narumiya, who was standing sideways, looked at Izawashiki, who was staring at him and holding his bat high, and reached out to wipe the sweat off his face.

"Did he aim for a straight ball?" Masako Harada looked at the opponent standing next to him and thought about what to do.

"If you can disrupt his swing..."

"Pure senior!"

"Hit a big one!"

His teammates in the rest area were cheering him on.

"Get out, Izaki!"

"Izaki, please!"

"Call me out!"

"Izzoshiki!"

"Pure senior!"

The Qingdao support group in the stands was also cheering him on.

"Let's use this ball to deal with him." Masako Harada gave the ace a low slippery signal, then stretched out his glove and waited for the ace to pitch.

"Whew!"

Raising his leg and stepping forward, Narumiya waved his arm and threw the baseball in his palm at home plate.

"Bang!"

Jun Izashaki, who found out that it was a bad ball, hurriedly stopped the bat that was thrown forward, so that the catcher Masako Harada could catch the baseball moving horizontally with the glove placed in front of his crotch without encountering obstacles.

“Ball.“

"It's full."

"It was a good judgment just now." Ota and Akiko turned their heads and said to the colleagues next to them.

"Well, Inami's shooting and catching combination should want to use that ball just now to win." Minefushi always pays attention to the situation on the field.

"Bang!" Masako Harada reaches out to catch a pitcher's pitcher's shot from the outside corner.

"No swing, four bad balls!"

Jun Izashaki dropped his bat outside the batting area and trotted toward first base under the direction of the chief judge.

"Ahh

"Good!"

"Get into the scoring lap."

"Izaki, good judgment!"

The cheering group and supporters in the stands were happy after Isashiki was escorted by the opponent's four bad.

"Hey, I'm still in this role at the end of the day." Jun Izashaki, who trotted over to first base, was a little unwilling, and turned his head to look at the four bats that got up from the waiting area: "Over to you... Captain! ”

"Tetsuya!"

"Philosopher!"

"Yuuki!"

Every supporter in the audience cheered Tetsuya Yuuki on the stage.

"In the bottom half of the eighth inning, two outs, there are people on first and second base."

"The score is only one point apart, and the two teams have the fourth duel between the aces and the four."

"Tetsuya, the last ball that Narimiya threw at me was obviously too hard." Jun Izashaki, who was standing next to the base bag, thought to himself as he looked at the four-batter who leaned the bat on his right shoulder and turned his head to look at the pitcher.

"Now the initiative of the game is undoubtedly in our hands!" Chris and Yukiichi are also the catchers and are the ones who know the situation on the field the most.

"There is no need for a herald, what the hell is going on now? The players on the field know best. "The Friends of Nations Superintendent, who was standing on the outside of the rest area, rejected the minister's idea of having people come forward and give orders.

"They're already looking to the future..."

"The main artillery of the Qingdao Road, which has been suppressed by Chenggong in the current three rounds of blows, Yuuki..."

"If you can hit a long shot, maybe you can overtake the score."

"The first goal in the spotlight."

Narumiya raised his leg and stepped forward according to the code, flicking his left hand to the home plate and throwing the outside corner finger cross ball.

"Huh!"

"Bang!"

At the same time that the batter swung missed, catcher Masako Harada stretched out his left hand downwards and grabbed the baseball that flew in front of his right calf.

"Okay..."The players who stayed in the rest area were cheering for the aces who were fighting on the field.

"Throwing a finger cross at a time like this!" Takahiro Hirakawa was surprised by the matching ball that Inagi Industrial threw and captured.

"Awesome... Cleverly let the hitter swing into the air. Because of Tanba, Manaka, who is supporting Seimchi's victory, also affirmed their excellent matching.
