"Ping!"

Ryosuke Kominato hits a pitcher's shot high post and sweeps it to the left.

"Out of bounds!"

"Four bad balls..."

After the ball was two good and two bad, Ikuya Kawabe threw high and wide bad balls to home plate one after another, sending the Qingdao three bats to first base.

"In the first half of the first game, Seido High School's attack, three bats, Nakamidainka, Izaki-kun, back number..."After Kansai ended the timeout, the announcer's voice resounded from the sky above the court.

When the batter raised his bat and turned his head to look at him, Ikuya Kawabe, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw a slightly inward knuckle ball at home plate.

"Smack!"

A knuckle ball that falls vertically from the front of the hitter's belt at a ball speed of 115 km/h, is caught by a glove that is extended downward by the hand in a low position behind the corner.

“Ball.“

In the second ball, pitcher Ikuya Kawabe's inward fast ball (123km/h) with an arm swing to home plate was a bad ball on the high side.

After throwing a containment ball to first base, Ikuya Kawabe followed the catcher's request, raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to throw the inside corner finger cross ball to home plate.

"Bang!"

With a speed of 116 km/h, the knuckle ball moved down longitudinally along the edge line, and while the hitter Jun Isashiki watched, he caught it with the left hand that was moving inward from the low position behind the corner.

“Strike.“

Finally made a good shot, and the third ball that Ikuya Kawabe waved to home plate was a high straight ball from the outside corner.

"Ping!"

The 123km/h straight ball crossed the edge of the outside corner and was hit by a batter and flew backwards to the right.

"Out of bounds!" The battered batter's flying baseball landed on the first base side stands.

"Ping!"

After the ball was tied at 2:2, Ikuya Kawabe threw a straight ball (125km/h) into the home plate at the request of the catcher, and the beaten man Jun Usashiki hit the bottom with a swing and flew high to the left.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which was about to land next to the sideline of the right field, was caught by Naoto Araki, a shortstop who came from the infield, with both hands raised.

"Out!"

While catching the opponent's four bats, he also forced the runner on third base, Nanyun Shiichi, who was close enough to home base, not to dare to act rashly and risk rushing back to home plate to score.

"In the first half of the first game, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, catcher, Takikawa-kun, back number..."

After the hitter Chris raised his bat high and made a position to be hit, Ikuya Kawabe, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, raised his left foot, stepped forward, and threw a high longitudinal slide towards home plate with his right hand.

"Bang!"

Without swinging his bat, he flew to the back of the top corner at 106km/h and was caught by the glove that the hand lifted upwards.

“Ball.“

In the second ball, Ikuya Kawabe, who stepped forward with his left foot, waved his right hand and threw a straight ball from the outside corner near the belt to home plate.

"Bang!"

Without encountering any blockage, the ball flew straight through the good ball area at a speed of 119 km/h and was caught with the left hand that the receiver stretched forward.

“Striket.“

Ikuya Kawabe, a pitcher who has been in inconsistent form, throws his third ball at Ben with a bad shot high from the outside corner.

"Ding!"

Faced with a straight ball from the outside corner that was hurtling from the pitcher's mound at 129km/h, Chris, who switched from a long bat to a short bat, spotted the ball in a brilliant position and landed on the sideline of the left-hand zone.

"Smack!"

After landing the baseball, which rolled forward along the infield sideline, pitcher Ikuchi Kawabe, who was running down on the left side of the pitcher's mound, reached out and picked it up, and then threw it forward to the catcher, wanting to touch the runner who rushed forward to the base, Nangumo Seichi, obviously unwilling to lose the second point for it.

Unfortunately, when Takenari Triangle, the catcher who received the ball, turned to the left and was about to touch the runner behind him with the glove holding the baseball, Ryosuke Kominato, a runner who was sliding forward, was the first to touch the home plate with his left foot.

“safe.“

So by the time the ball-holding glove touches the runner's left leg, it's too late... Seeing this, the presiding judge standing next to him directly raised his hands.
