Chapter 456: The First Battle (2)

After filling the ball count in the entanglement, Takuya Kimura followed the catcher's code and swung his arm into home plate to throw a two-seam fast ball that looked slightly out.

"Huh!"

The pitcher's fast ball crossed the edge line at 130 km/h, and when it was about to be grabbed by the glove reached by the captor, the hitter Hayao Ishikawa swung his bat to stop him.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was hit by the batter in the center of the ball, sped off to the right and landed on the turf in the center-right field after penetrating the right half of the defense.

"Smack!"

The baseball that landed in front of the outfield went all the way forward without hindrance, and when it approached the home run wall, it was picked up by Jun Izagiki, a midfielder running from right to left.

"Safety!"

By the time Izashaki Jun turned around and waved his arm to pass the ball to second base, the batter had already run to second base, and his pass only made Ishikawa dare not continue to rush to base.

After handing over the protective gear to his teammates who had come to help, Ishikawa shifted to the right and stood a few steps away from the second base, next to the shortstop Kuramochi Yoichi... After scoring first, he didn't seem to be afraid of being touched by the opponent at all.

"In the first half of the first game, the attack of Mingde Yijuku, five sticks, right fielder, Long Tianjun, back number 9."

Shunichiro Tatsuda, a batter who has spread his legs apart, stands on the left hitting area, turns his head to look at the pitcher, holds his bat alaloft and clenches his hands, and is quickly ready to strike.

"Ping!"

Shunichiro Tatsuda, who swung his bat the first ball, hit a straight ball (141km/h) slightly high from the outside corner to the left.

"Out of bounds!"

Left fielder Shiichi Minamigumo, who chased him from left to right, could only watch as the baseball that was thrown away by his classmate Hayao Ishikawa fell to the audience next to the boundary marker.

Shunichiro Tatsuda, who ran back to home plate to pick up the bat from his teammates, regained his footing on the batting area, waved the bat with his right hand, turned his head to look at the pitcher, rested the bat on his left shoulder, and clasped his hands together while waiting for the pitcher to get ready.

"Huh!"

According to the agreed code, Takuya Kimura swung his arm and threw a speedball to home plate, causing the hitter to misestimate the timing of the swing.

"Bang!"

After the hitter misses the swing, Naoya Kuraza catches the 105km/h speed ball with his left hand stretched out.

“Strike.“

Forcing the hitter into a second-best dilemma, Takuya Kimura waited for the opponent to raise the bat high and get ready again, then stepped forward with his left foot and waved his arm to throw a low straight ball at home plate.

“Ball.“

Unfortunately, the hitter was not deceived by this, pushed the bat to strike, and was eliminated from the game.

"Whew!"

After the ball count was two good and one bad, Takuya Kimura followed the catcher's code and threw a slightly high outside corner straight ball to home plate.

"Bang!"

Under the downward gaze of the hitter Shunichiro Tatsuda, Kuroza Naoya reached forward with his left hand to catch the baseball flying above the edge line.

"Bad ball!"

After the ball was tied at 2-2, Takuya Kimura waved his arm and threw the outside corner finger cross ball to home plate.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was moving longitudinally out of the good ball area at a speed of 125 km/h, was about to be caught by the open glove of the hand in a low position behind the corner, and was struck by the batter Shunichiro Tatsuda to the bottom, turning it into a high-flying ball flying to the left.

"Smack!"

Kura Teyoichi, a shortstop who sprang out from left to right, ran to the lawn outside the left field touchline while staring at the baseball that was flying from the hitter, and raised his hands up to catch the baseball falling from the air as third baseman Masuko Toru rushed to him from third base.

"Catch!"

"Three people are out, offense and defense are exchanged."
