Chapter 461: A Battle (7)

"Out of bounds!"

After Shunichiro Tatsuda swings the pitcher's fourth ball to home plate and hits it out of bounds to the right, the pitcher's fifth ball to home plate is a high slide ball that moves laterally from above the home plate to above the right hitting area.

"Bad ball!"

"Ping!"

On the sixth ball, Shunichiro Tatsuda swung his bat and flew it to the left, and continued to entangle with the pitcher when the ball was two good and two bad.

"Out of bounds!"

On the seventh pitch, pitcher Takuya Kimura followed the catcher's request, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a knee-high diagonal straight ball to home plate.

"Bang!"

As the hitter watched, the catcher sat straight to the outside of the corner of the good ball area, reached out and opened his gloves to catch the baseball with a speed of 120 km/h.

“Strike out.“

Six-pat Hashimoto played the ball (138km/h) in the outside corner of the pitch and swung his bat forward to send it flying.

"Ping!"

The baseball hit by the batter struck by the batter sprinted straight at the feet of pitcher Takuya Kimura, then bounced off the right after hitting the ground next to his feet.

"Smack!"

Seeing this, Takuya Kimura hurriedly ran down the pitcher's mound, reached out to pick up the baseball that was parked on the ground, and then waved his arm sideways to pass the ball to first base.

"Out!"

"In the first half of the sixth inning, the attack of Mingde Yijuku, seven bats, first baseman, Higashiyama-kun, back number..."

In the face of a straight ball (ball speed of 130km/h) thrown by the pitcher with a low inside corner, the hitter Kojiro Higashiyama did not make any other action except to look down.

“Ball.“

The second ball was a straight ball high in the inside corner, and Kojiro Higashiyama hit the center of the ball with a swing and swept it hard to the left.

"Smack!"

After dodging the jump interception of the third baseman, the baseball that landed next to the left fieldline hit the boundary wall next to the boundary pole without any hindrance, and then was picked up by the left fielder Mingumo Shiichi who rushed over when it bounced back into bounds.

“Run.“

Hayao Ishikawa, a runner on second base, took the opportunity to run back to home plate in one go, and Kojiro Higashiyama rewrote the score to 3:4 with a well-timed hit on second base.

"The first half of the sixth inning, the attack of Mingde Yijuku, the eight sticks, the catcher, Yamaguchi-kun, the back number..."

Pitcher Takuya Kimura was asked to throw a low straight ball (137km/h) into home plate, and then the catcher reached out to catch it under the batter's downward gaze.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

On the second ball, the pitcher throws a straight ball from the outside corner with a knee high to home plate at a speed of 139km/h.

"Ping!"

The baseball, which was about to fall into the catcher's glove on the edge of the good zone, was hit by the batter Shosuke Yamaguchi, and it was a flat fly ball in the direction of the right field.

"Smack!"

When the batter's flying baseball was about to fly into the right fielder, second baseman Ryosuke Kominato, who was running from right to left, caught him at the interface between the infield and the outfield.

"Catch ——!!"

"Three outs, offense and defense exchange."

……

"In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Xiao Minato-kun, the back number..."

Ryosuke Kominato, who was standing on the batting area, turned his head to look at the pitcher, raised his bat upright, and clasped his hands together, waiting for the strike.

"Bang!"

The first ball was a straight ball (127 km/h) high in the inside corner, which was caught with the left hand of the captor with the hand stretched out without a swing to stop him.

“Ball.“

On the second pitch, pitcher Yushi Kawai threw a straight ball (125 km/h) into the outside corner of home plate as requested, and then as the hitter looked down, the arrester Yamaguchi caught the left hand that was stretched forward.

"Bang!"

“Strike.“

On the third ball, Yamaguchi asked the pitcher to throw a straight ball (129km/h) high in the inside corner, which was then hit by the batter's swing and flew out to the right.

"Ping!"

"Smack!"

The low fly ball that landed in the infield was firmly grasped by the first baseman Kojiro Higashiyama, who flew from first base, and then Kojiro Higashiyama got up and rushed back to first base after receiving the ball.

“out.“

With his right foot on the base, Kojiro Higashiyama blocked the batter who ran behind him with the pitcher.

"The bottom half of the third inning, the attack of Seido High School, three sticks, the middle and middle fielders, Izawaki-kun, the back number..."

After Jun Izashaki raised his bat high and was ready to strike, the pitcher threw the first ball to the outside corner of home plate with a speed of 114 km/h.

"Bang!"

A slider that falls high in front of the good ball area and is caught by a captor from behind the middle and low position in the outside corner.

“Strike.“

On the second ball, the pitcher's longitudinal slide (111 km/h) is a bit of a bad ball.

"Ball..."The third ball is a bad ball that is clearly out of the way.

In the fourth ball, Yushi Kawai, who was getting worse and worse, waved his arm and threw a slightly low straight ball from the outside corner to home plate.

"Smack!"

On the fifth ball, Yushi Kawai, who threw three bad balls in a row, finally threw a longitudinal slider from the outside corner of the ball that was a good ball, although the catcher did not catch it well and let the ball fall to the ground.

"Ping!"

The sixth ball was a knee straight ball in the inside corner (128km/h) that Jun Isasaki swung his bat to send it out of bounds.

"Four bad balls!!"

On the seventh pitch, Yushi Kawai sent the hitter to first base with a bad ball from the outside.

"In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of Seido High School, four bats, first baseman, Yuuki-kun, back number..."

Faced with a straight ball (129km/h) thrown by a pitcher in the inside corner, Tetsuya Yuuki, who continued to observe the ball, hit the center of the ball with his bat and flew forward.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which galloped past the pitcher's mound and above second base, landed on the field's turf before being picked up by the fielder Hiroki Miyazato, who ran from right to left.

“safe.“

With runners and batters on base, Miyazaki had no choice but to step forward and wave his arms to pass the ball to the shortstop, who in turn passed the ball to the pitcher.

"In the bottom half of the sixth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, five bats, third baseman, Zeng Zijun, back number..."

As the five-batter Masuko raised his bat high and turned his head to look at him, Yushi Kawai, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, stepped forward with his left leg and threw the outside corner knuckle ball into home plate with a flick of his arm.

"Bang!"

The baseball fell forward at 115 km/h and then caught it with the left hand that was outstretched by the captor behind the corner of the good ball area.

“Strike.“

"Huh!"

The pitcher's second swing to home plate was a longitudinal slide in the middle (109 km/h), which was caught by the captor's open glove behind the high post in the middle of the pitch.

"Bang!"

“Strike...“

After forcing the hitter into a dilemma of two good balls and no bad balls, Yushi Kawai followed the catcher's code and waved his arm to throw a straight ball high at home plate.

"Bang!"

Catcher Shosuke Yamaguchi, who was half-crouched behind home plate, moved the glove he had placed in front of the batter's elbow and straightened his left hand to catch the bad ball high in the middle.
