The curveball, which moves diagonally downward at 136 km/h above the good ball area, is hit by the batter's swing at the bottom of the inside corner and flies high backwards.

"Out of bounds!"

In the fourth ball, Yagami followed the code given to him by Chris, and waved his left hand to shoot a straight ball with an outside near belt to home plate.

"Ping!"

With a speed of 150 km/h, he sped past the outside of the good ball area and was about to rush forward into the straight ball of the catcher's glove, but was hit by the bat, which was vigorously swung by the beater, Tani Shigekuan, and flew out to the right.

"Out of bounds!"

On the fifth ball, Yagami and other hitters raised their bats high and re-prepared, then waved their left hand towards home plate and threw a rising fast ball high inside corner.

"Ping!"

At a speed of 135 km/h, the ball flew forward to the fast ball above the corner and next to the batter's shoulder, and the bat swept forward by the batter Tani hit the bottom.

"Out of bounds!" The baseball that was hit to the left by the victim landed in the audience on third base.

In the sixth ball, at the request of catcher Chris, Yagami Yagami threw a knee-high straight ball to home plate to adjust his condition.

"Smack!"

A straight ball flying over the junction of the left hitting area and home plate at a speed of 130km/h was caught by Chris's straight left hand.

In the seventh ball, Yagami continued to follow the catcher's code and threw a straight ball into the high post of the outside corner to home plate.

"Ping!"

With a ball speed of 142km/h, it flew forward through a straight ball in the corner, and was hit by Tani Shigekuan's swing in the center of the ball, and flew out sharply to the left.

"Out of bounds!"

Under the chase and watchful view of the left fielder Nagumo Seiichi, the batter's flying baseball flew over the boundary marker of the left fielder from above, and then fell to the spectators behind him.

After Gu Shigekuan, who was running forward, returned to the right hitting area to get ready again, Yagami raised his leg and stepped forward, waving his arm to shoot a quick straight ball with four stitches near his knee to home plate.

"Bang!"

The straight ball that flew over the touchline at a speed of 151 km/h was caught by Chris's outstretched glove without attracting the attention of the hitter.

“Ball.“

Yagami Yagami, who had shot a full number of balls, threw a containment ball to first base, and then turned his attention back to the hitter, and threw a straight ball into the inside corner near the knee to home plate.

"Ping!"

A straight ball that flew past the hitter's thigh at a speed of 143km/h was hit by the batter Tani Shigekuan's swing and flew out of bounds to the left.

"Whew!"

For the tenth pitch, Yagami Yagami threw a straight ball to home plate at Chris's request, with a speed of 151km/h.

"Ping!"

A straight ball that flew through the good ball area to the back of the middle high position in the outside corner was hit to the bottom by Tani Shigekuan's swing and flew high forward.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which flew into the outfield from above the shortstop, was caught by the left fielder Shiichi Minamimo, who ran from right to left, in the depths of the field.

"Catch ——!!"

"It's over!!"

……

After singing the school song, the Qingdao runners who came to the front of the audience where the support group and supporters were located, took off their hats, bowed to them, and then turned around and ran back to the rest area.

After returning to their rest area, everyone began to pack their things and prepare to leave Koshien Stadium and return to the hotel where they were staying.

At this time, many people couldn't believe that Kansai High School, which had to compete in a rematch the next day to determine the winner last spring, would lose to them by such a margin.

……

At 10:55 p.m. on April 1, in the conference room of the hotel rented by Qingdao, the players were basically all here, and the TV in front of the conference room was also turned on.

"The first game is Inagi Kogyo vs. Seimashasha Society, and the second game is Tokoha Kikukawa vs. Osaka Kiryu... Who do you think will make it to the finals? Jun Izaki asked, looking at the name of the school displayed on the electronic bulletin board.

"Hmm... Inagi industry and Tokoha Kikugawa bar. Koichiro Tanba thought for a moment and gave the names of the two schools that made it to the Meiji Jingu tournament last year.

"Would you like to guess which two teams will win?" Kusunoki Fumiya just finished smiling, and when he noticed that everyone's reaction was quiet, he glanced back, only to see that Superintendent Kataoka, who had just come in from outside, was black-faced, which startled him.

Superintendent Kataoka didn't say anything to Kusunoki Fumiya because of this, but walked to the front row of the conference room and sat down to watch Koshien TV with everyone.

Soon the first game of the day began, and after the air raid sirens sounded, everyone turned their attention to the TV and began to watch the game.

Inagi Industry showed strong strength and aggressive offensive action at the beginning, scoring 4 points in the bottom half of the third game and another 4 points in the bottom half of the fourth game... Although the Seisshosha have been trying to find opportunities, they will not be able to do anything if they can't connect to the base.

The strength of Inagi Industrial is much stronger than last fall, and the reason why the whole team has improved significantly is because of the blonde hair and is called "Tokyo Prince" by the media.

Yagami believes that he can suppress Inagi Industrial's line and control the loss of points to a small range, and at the same time believes that Yuki can overcome the opponent's defense line with Narumi Narumiya as the core.

After 2 hours and 05 minutes, the game between Daocheng Industry and Qingzheng Society came to an end, and the score of the two sides was fixed at 0:8 at the end of the first half of the ninth game, and Daocheng Industry successfully won the quarterfinals.

Taking advantage of the half-hour when the players of Inagi Industry and Kiyomasa Club exited, and the players of Kikugawa and Kiryu Osaka entered the field to warm up, the players who spent 2 hours and 6 minutes watching the game left the conference room to go out to move their bodies, and returned to the conference room to continue watching after the start of the second game today.

"It's raining..."On the way back to the conference room after going to the bathroom, Ryosuke Kominato glanced at the sky outside the window.

"It's quite small compared to yesterday, so it shouldn't be suspended." Jun Izaki reached out and felt it.

By the time they got back to the boardroom, the second game had already begun.

The match between Kikugawa and Kiryu Osaka was different from the previous game, and the advantage of Inagi Industrial could be clearly felt, although Kiryu Osaka took the lead in the second half of the sixth game by virtue of the advantage of playing the line, but only this point was scored in front of Kikugawa's strong defense.

Osaka Kiryu, who lost one point each in the top half of the eighth game and the first half of the ninth game, was reversed by Kikugawa Tokoba... In the bottom half of the ninth inning, Kiryu Osaka was unable to equalize under the defense of Kikukawa Tsuneba, so he lost today's game.

Inagi Industry and Tokoha Kikukawa, who were the first to advance to the quasi-decisive battle, will compete for tickets to the decisive battle the day after tomorrow.

If Seido can win tomorrow's quarterfinals, he will face off against the winner of the city's three major and the main shrine to compete for a ticket to the decisive match.

If you want to advance to the spring Koshien victory, Seido will face the winner between Inagi Industry and Tsuneha Kikugawa on April 4th... Once the final winner is achieved, Qingdao will become the fifth school in history to achieve the summer and spring squad.
