Chapter 468: Second Battle (4)
"In the first half of the third game, the attack of Qingdao High School, six sticks, catcher, Yu Yuyukun, back number..."
When the hitter was ready, Yusuke Nomura swung his bat and threw a slightly out-of-the-box pitch to home plate at 109km/h.
"Bang!"
Realizing that it was a bad ball, Koichi also retracted the bat he had just swung back, allowing the pitcher's pitcher to drop longitudinally behind the edge line, and then grabbed it with the glove that the hand stretched out downward in the low position behind the corner.
“Ball.“
In the second ball, Yusuke Nomura stepped with his leg up and waved his arm to shoot a low outside corner straight ball to home plate.
"Smack!"
A straight ball that flew from under the corner to home plate at a speed of 140km/h was caught by a glove extended by Seiji Kobayashi.
“Ball...“
After throwing a series of bad shots, Yusuke Nomura waved his right hand and threw a belted high curve ball at home plate.
"Bang!"
The curveball that was moving diagonally in front of the side of the hit area at a speed of 125 km/h was caught by Seiji Kobayashi's straight left hand when it moved diagonally down from the high position in the outside corner to the right and behind the low position in the middle corner of the inside corner.
“Strike.“
With two balls bad and one good, Yusuke Nomura threw a near-belt fastball to home plate as requested by the catcher.
"Whew!"
"Bang!"
A straight ball that crosses the edge line at a speed of 133 km/h and catches it with a glove that the capsule extends out from behind the low post in the outside corner.
“Strike...“
On the fourth pitch after the ball count was level, Yusuke Nomura threw a longitudinal slide ball to home plate with a speed of 125km/h.
"Smack!"
With the batter not swinging his bat and continuing to choose to wait and see, Seiji Kobayashi reached out and grabbed the slider thrown by the pitcher.
“Ball...“
After hitting the ball to the full, Yusuke Nomura waved his arm and threw a high fast ball in the middle of the home plate.
"Ping!"
At a speed of 130 km/h, he flew over a baseball high in the middle of the ball, and the beater, Mikokazu, hit the bottom half of the ball with his bat and flew backwards.
"Smack!"
The baseball, which flew forward from the right side of the pitcher's mound, landed on second base, rolled into the lawn of the midfielders without being blocked, and was caught by the running midfielder Ryo Oakura in a crouching position.
Yukiichi also saw that the midfielder had picked up the stick that he had beaten past, and then stopped his steps towards base, turned back to first base, and took off his protective gear.
"In the first half of the third inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, seven sticks, guerrilla, Nanmu-kun, back number..."
When the batter Fumiya Kusunoki raised his bat and turned his head to look at the pitcher, waiting for the strike, the pitcher waved his arm and threw the outside corner longitudinal slide toward home plate.
"Ding!"
The slide, which moves longitudinally along the edge line at a ball speed of 123 km/h, is pushed by Fumiya Kusunoki, who has changed the length of the bat, to a short bat, and falls downwards to the ground in front of the hitting area.
"Smack!"
The baseball, which rolls forward along the infield sideline after landing, is reached out to the left of the pitcher's mound by the pitcher who ran down the pitcher's mound and then swings his arm to pass the ball to first base.
“out.“
Koji Fukuda, the first baseman who received the ball, blocked the runner who had already run not far away from the base and won the first number of outs of the inning.
"In the first half of the first game, the attack of Seido High School, eight bats, left fielder, Sakai-kun, back number 14."
After hitter Ichiro Sakai raised his bat high and got ready, Yusuke Nomura stepped forward with his left foot and threw his right hand at home plate with a belt-high straight ball.
"Bang!"
A baseball that crosses the edge of the outer corner at a speed of 135 km/h is caught by a glove stretched out by a hand under the gaze of a hitter.
“Strike.“
In the second ball, Yusuke Nomura swung his arm at home plate and threw a speed ball (ball speed of 110km/h) along the edge of the outside corner, and then when it was close to the ground, it was covered by a glove that was extended downwards by the hand.
"Smack!"
“Ball.“
