Returning his attention to home plate, Ikuya Kawabe raised his legs, stepped forward, and waved his arm to throw a slightly inward longitudinal slide toward home plate.

"Smack!"

Under the downward gaze of hitter Ryosuke Kominato, the slider moved down longitudinally at a speed of 111km/h to the side of the home plate, and was about to hit the ground when it caught the glove that the hand stretched downward.

“Ball.“

In the second ball, Ikuya Kawabe followed the code given to him by the triangle Wuseibi, and threw a curveball to home plate with a wave of his arm.

"Bang!"

The curveball is held high on the belt, moved diagonally down at 109 km/h in front of the hitter's right shoulder, and then caught by the glove that the captor has opened downward on the side above the right hit area and low in the outside corner.

“Strike.“

Pitcher Ikuya Kawabe's third pitch to home plate was an inward longitudinal slider with a speed of 116 km/h.

In the fourth game, pitcher Ikuya Kawabe continued to throw a longitudinal slide ball into the home plate and deliberately slowed down the ball speed in search of tricky balls.

"Bang!"

With a speed of 104 km/h, the ball is close to the edge line, and when the hitter thinks it is a bad ball, the left hand that is outstretched forward by the captor catches it a little inward behind the corner.

“Strike.“

After the ball was tied at 2:2, Ikuya Kawabe followed the catcher's code and threw an outside corner finger cross to home plate.

"Ping!"

The knuckle ball, which began to fall in front of the hitter's right arm at a speed of 109km/h, was hit by a downward swing of the bat from the low position in the outside corner, and flew backwards to the right.

"Smack!"

After breaking through the defense line on the right half of Kansai, he fell on the lawn of the right field, and was picked up by the right fielder who ran from left to right in the middle of the right field.

"A well-timed hit in front of the right field!"

When Yoichi Kuramochi, a runner who had continued to move forward after crossing third base, wanted to return to home plate to score, Nakamura immediately stepped forward and waved his arm to pass the ball straight to home plate.

"Smack!"

As the baseball that landed behind the pitcher's mound rolled forward, runner Yoichi Kuramochi stepped over home plate to score.

"Ahh All right! ”

When Yoichi Kuramochi and Izagi Senpai outside the preparation area high-fived in celebration, the baseball rolling forward was caught by pitcher Ikuya Kawabe, who was standing in front of the pitcher's mound, in a crouching position.

"In the first half of the sixth inning, the attack of Seido High School, four sticks, the middle fielder, Izaki-kun, the back number..."

After Ryosuke Kominato handed over the protective gear he had taken off to his teammates who came to help, the announcer's announcement resounded over the court.

"Four bad balls!"

Jun Izashaki, who was about to make a big play, was sent to first base by the opponent with four bad balls that were outside, low, or high.

"Kansai High School requested a change of players, and third baseman Kawabe-kun replaced Sakaki-kun; The pitcher has Yasu-kun to replace Kawabe-kun..."

Ikuru Kawabe, who had just over 100 pitches, was also replaced in the infield, and Masamitsu Ariyasu, who was the No. 11 on his back, came on the pitch.

"Five, third baseman, Kawabe-kun (not changed to a bat); Seven bats, pitchers, and Anjun. ”

After the pitcher's short one-minute warm-up time was over, the announcer's voice resounded from above the court.

"The first half of the sixth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, five sticks, catcher, Takikawa-kun, back number..."

When the hitter stood up on the batting area and turned his head to look at him, Arian Zhengchong, who was standing sideways on the pitcher's board, stepped forward with his leg raised and waved his arm to the home plate to throw the inside finger cross.

"Bang!"

The knuckle ball, which began to fall directly in front of the catcher at a speed of 114km/h, was caught by the glove that the catcher moved inward behind the corner as Chris looked down.

“Strike.“

In the second ball, An Zhengchong followed the code given to him by the catcher and waved his arm to throw a fast ball to home plate.

"Smack!"

The fast ball, which moves down sharply longitudinally at a speed of 121 km/h, falls down from the height of the hitter's knee and falls at the junction of the hitting area and home plate.

“Ball.“ As the catcher grabbed the baseball bouncing at him after landing on the ground in his abdomen, the referee standing behind him announced the bad ball.

In the third ball, because the runner tried to steal the base, An Zhengchong, who raised his leg and stepped forward, threw a straight ball to the home plate, with a speed of 127km/h.

"Smack!"

After getting up to catch the pitcher's pitch, Takeshi Triangle raised his hand and waved his arm to pass the ball to third base, allowing the third baseman who received the ball to touch the runner Ryosuke Kominato, who was holding his right hand on the ground and sliding forward to the base.

"Out!"

After seeing that third baseman Ikuya Kawabe did receive a pass from the catcher, the third baseman raised his right hand into a fist and raised it over his shoulder.

……

"The first half of the eighth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, eight bats, pitcher, Yagami-kun, back number..."

Yagami swept the ground with his foot as he walked to the batting area to the sound of the announcement, then waved the bat with his left hand, and while turning his head to look at the pitcher in front of him, he raised the bat high and waited for him to pitch.

"Smack!"

The first ball that was thrown into home plate by Arian was a high bad ball, and then the ball was caught by a man who was high behind the outside corner.

In the second ball, An Zhengchong threw a straight ball to home plate according to the code given to him by the catcher, and the ball speed was 120km/h.

"Smack!"

A pitcher's straight ball to home plate goes over the home plate from under the low inside corner and then lands on the sand behind home plate.

“Ball…“

In the third ball, according to the agreed code, An Zhengchong threw an outside corner finger cross ball to home plate, and the ball speed was 106km/h.

"Smack!"

As Yagami looked down, the longitudinally downward knuckle ball flew over the home plate and landed behind the edge line, where it was caught by a handful in a bounce after landing.

After throwing all the bad balls so quickly, An Zhengchong was finally able to throw a straight ball in the high post of the outside corner according to the catcher's requirements.

"Bang!"

With a ball speed of 129km/h, he passed a straight ball through the corner of the good ball area, and under the downward gaze of Yagami Yagami, he caught it with the glove that the hand moved upward.

“Strike.“

In the fifth ball, An Zhengchong used a high inside corner straight ball to send the hitter to first base.

"In the first half of the eighth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, nine sticks, right fielder, Bai Zhoujun, back number..."

After throwing a containment ball to first base, Arian Masatsu, who returned to home plate, stepped on his left foot and waved his arm to throw a straight ball in the middle of the outside corner.

"Ding!"

A straight ball that crossed the edge line at a speed of 121 km/h was hit by a bat pushed by Kenjiro Hakushu, and fell down on the sand in front of home plate.

"Smack!"

After landing on the ground, the baseball that rolled towards the pitcher's mound was firmly caught by the hands of Arian Masatsutsu, who was running down the pitcher's mound quickly.

“out.“

Intending to catch a double kill, An Zhengchong waved his arm sideways, passed the baseball he had just received to second base, and blocked Yagami who was on base.

"Porphyry!"

When first baseman Kazunari Morita received a pass from the second baseman, Kenjiro Hakushu, a runner who flew forward to the base, just held the ground with his hands and slid over the base pack.

“safe.“ As the runner pressed the base bag under his chest, the first base judge not far away raised his hands and signaled him to get on base safely.

"In the first half of the eighth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, a stick, a guerrilla, Kuramochi-kun, back number..."
