Chapter 493: Quasi-Decisive Victory (3)

"In the second half of the first inning, the attack of the third college in the city, four bats, third baseman, Damae-kun, back number 5." After the Qingdao casting was suspended, the announcer began to broadcast the next batter who was about to enter the field.

Takahiro Ohmae stood on the batting area, turned twice in front of him with his bat in his left hand, turned his head to look at the pitcher, and raised the bat upwards with both hands.

"Whew!"

Seeing that Ohmae was ready, Koichiro Tanba stepped with his leg up and waved his arm to throw a longitudinal curveball at home plate.

"Smack!"

The curveball moves down longitudinally from the front of the hitter's waist and flies at a speed of 119 km/h to the low position behind the middle of the hit area, in front of the knee of the hitter's right leg, and then catches the glove reached by the arrester Chris.

“Strike.“

In the second ball, Koichiro Tanba followed the code given to him by Chris and threw a belt-high inward fastball to home plate.

"Ping!"

The ball moves horizontally to the right at a speed of 136 km/h at a high position in the hit zone, and then is hit to the bottom by a left-twisting player behind the inside corner and next to the player's waist, causing the ball to fly backwards and fall into the audience.

"Out of bounds!"

In the third ball, when a good ball could end the game, Chris asked Dambo for another longitudinal curved ball.

"Smack!"

The curveball that flew past the batter's belt at a speed of 119 km/h was caught by the glove of the attacker Chris outstretched down in front of the hitter's right calf and behind the inside corner.

“Ball.“

On the fourth ball, Koichiro Tanba threw the curveball to home plate again according to the code, and the ball speed was 117km/h.

"Ding!"

The curveball is held high on the belt, moves diagonally downwards from the front of the hitter's left elbow, and then grabs the batter above the sideline of the hitting area to the top edge, causing the ball to hit the ground and roll outward.

"Out of bounds!"

On the fifth ball, Koichiro Tanba, who threw out of control, threw a high fast ball (135km/h) to home plate, which was then caught by Chris who got up and reached above his head.

“Ball…“

On the sixth ball, Chris asked Tampo for a curveball with a high belt.

"Huh!"

The curveball that moves diagonally down at a speed of 116 km/h in front of the batter's left cheek causes Takahiro Ohmae to swing his bat from below as it moves to a height parallel to his shoulder.

"Smack!"

At the same time that hitter Takahiro Ohmae swung his baton missed, catcher Chris raised his hand to catch the falling baseball.

"Empty - strikeout!!"

“… Offensive and defensive exchanges! ”

……

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

When Seido main gun Yuuki is ready on the batting area, Manaka raises his left leg and stretches forward and throws a curveball towards home plate with his right hand.

"Ping!"

The curveball is held high on the belt, moves diagonally downwards at 119 km/h in front of the batter's left shoulder, and is then hit by the batter's swing behind the edge line of the outside corner and in front of the hitter's thigh, landing on the left hit area.

"Smack!"

The baseball in the batting area bounced high toward first base, then landed on the left side of the first base, and was caught by first baseman Mamoru Hoshida as it bounced forward.

"Out of bounds!"

In the second ball, at the suggestion of his junior Takami, Manaka had to stretch out his left foot and wave his right hand to throw a high-speed slide ball at home plate.

"Smack!"

The pitcher's unfinished slide moves laterally down from the front of the hitter's left thigh at a speed of 136 km/h, flies behind the low position of the hit zone, and catches it with a glove on the ground at the corner of the right hit zone.

“Ball.“

For the third ball, Manaka has to wait for Yuuki to re-raise the bat and get ready, then raise his leg and step and wave his arm to throw a curveball at home plate.

"Bang!"

The curveball flying past the side of the hitter's chest at a speed of 120 km/h, moves down longitudinally behind the good ball area, and then catches it with the glove that the hand moves downward at the corner of the left hitting area.

“Ball…“

"Ping!"

The pitcher's fourth pitch to home plate: a straight ball (134km/h) in the low corner was hit by Tetsuya Yuuki and flew to the right.

"Out of bounds!"

For the fifth ball, Manaka will wave his right hand and throw a high-speed slide ball towards home plate, with a speed of 137km/h.

"Ping!"

Moved horizontally down to the top of the sideline of the right-shot area, and the baseball next to his right calf was hit by Tetsuya Yuuki and flew straight to the right.

"Out of bounds!"

When Yuuki raises his bat high and turns his head to stare at him, Manaka will raise his leg and step and wave his right hand to throw the baseball in his palm towards home plate.

"Bang!"

The curveball was hung high on the belt, and it fell inward at a speed of 122 km/h at the level of the batter's left shoulder, and then grabbed it with the left hand of the hitter Akito Takami stretched forward above the sideline of the hitting area and next to the hitter's thigh.

“Strike out.“

After confirming that he was struck by Manaka, Tetsuya Yuki turned around and ran back to the rest area with a bat in his right hand.

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

Chris leaned his bat over his shoulder, then raised it high forward, turned his head to keep an eye on the pitcher, waiting for the strike.

"Whew!"

For the first ball, Manaka should swing his right hand and throw a curveball at home plate at the request of the catcher.

"Ping!"

The curveball was high on the belt, and it was level with the left shoulder of the batter Chris, who was maintaining the position of the hitter, and when the ball moved diagonally down to the back of the high position in the inside corner at a speed of 121km/h, he hit the bottom of the bat and flew backwards.

"Out of bounds!"

For the second ball, Manaka has to raise his leg and step towards home plate to throw an inward fast ball with a speed of 140km/h.

"Ping!"

A fast ball that moves horizontally to the right from the top of the good ball area is struck by the batter and swept to the left.

"Out of bounds!"

Because Chris was aggressive in swinging the baseball, he quickly forced him to the second best shot, and the pitcher Manaka wanted to confirm the code with the catcher, and then waved his right hand to throw an inside fastball towards home plate.

"Bang!"

A fast ball that moves to the right at a speed of 137 km/h behind the strike zone is caught by a glove extended forward by the hand above the right hit area and next to the knee of the hitter's right leg.

“Ball.“

In the fourth ball, Zhenzhong was about to miss a shot and threw a bad ball into the home plate.

"Smack!"

Fly a straight ball from above at a speed of 140 km/h over the good ball area and catch it with the left hand that is outstretched by the captor.

“Ball…“

Seeing the catcher nod at his code, Manaka raised his leg and stepped forward, dancing his right hand to throw a curveball at home plate.

"Ping!"

The pitcher's curveball to home plate moved diagonally down from the front of the hitter's chest at a speed of 121 km/h, and then flew to the left behind the middle of the hit zone, in front of the hitter's knee.

"Smack!"

Taka Omachi, who fell to the right, could only watch as hitter Chris hit a flying baseball after an interception, landed behind the base pack, next to the third base line, and rolled forward onto the lawn outside the left field touchline.

“safe.“

As the forward hit of the baseball on the baffle bounced to the right, Chris, who had crossed first base, stopped and stepped back to stand on the base.

"Hit a deep hit on third base!"

Left fielder Oshima, who ran to the right from the depths of the outfield to the lawn outside the field, reached out to catch the ball, and passed the ball directly to the shortstop Shimazu in front of the center and left fielder, even if Chris had no intention of continuing to rush to base, so that the ball could be passed to second base at any time.
