Chapter 504: Quasi-Decisive Victory (14)

"In the second half of the sixth inning, the attack of the third university of the city, three sticks, the middle and middle fielders, Miyagawa-kun, the back number..."

When Miyagawa was ready in the batting area, raised his bat, and turned his head to stare at the pitcher, pitcher Koichiro Tanba stepped up and waved his arm to throw the baseball into home plate.

"Bang!"

The pitcher's slider to home plate moved inward laterally at 125 km/h and was caught by a glove that was extended downward by the hand next to Teru Miyagawa's left calf.

“Ball.“

In the second ball, Koichiro Tanba threw a straight ball with a knee in the inside corner to home plate according to the code, and the ball speed was 130km/h.

"Smack!"

The straight ball that flew forward through the good ball zone was in front of the knee of Miyagawa's right leg and was caught with the left hand that was outstretched forward by the arrester Chris.

“Strike.“

After throwing a containment ball to first base to prevent the runner from getting too far from base, Koichiro Tanba stepped on his left foot and waved his arm to throw a low straight ball into the outside corner of home plate.

"Ping!"

With a speed of 130km/h, the ball flew to the bottom of the corner, and was hit by the batter Teru Miyagawa, and flew backwards to the left.

"Out of bounds!" The baseball, which flew straight into the depths, landed in the audience on the left side of the field.

"Whew!"

With one good shot left at the end of the sixth inning, Miyagawa, a hitter such as Koichiro Tanba, raised his bat high, turned his head to keep an eye on him, stretched out his left foot, and threw a four-seam rising fast ball to home plate with his right hand.

"Huh!"

The pitcher's fast ball to home plate flies forward at 140 km/h while rising in height (observations from the pitcher's perspective), and then sweeps the bat he swings forward just below the inside corner, in front of the chest of hitter Teru Miyagawa, and then grabs it with the glove that the catcher Chris moves upwards.

"Bang!"

“Strike out.“

……

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

When the hitter is ready to raise the bat and keep an eye on him, Manaka stretches out his left foot and swings his arm to the home plate to throw the inside corner.

"Ping!"

The pitcher's straight ball flew from the pitcher's mound to the front of the hitter's thigh at a speed of 137 km/h, and was then hit by the batter Kenjiro Hakushu's sweeping bat and bounced to the right onto the ground in front of the left hitting area.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which bounced back from the infield to the infield, was caught with a glove by Takahiro Hiragawa, the second baseman who ran from left to right, as soon as it landed.

"Out!"

After stopping his forward running, Takahiro Hirakawa turned to the left and waved his right hand to pass the ball to Mamoru Hoshida, the first baseman, and blocked the runner from the base.

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

After the hitter is ready in the left hitting area, Manaka has to step with his leg up and wave his arm to throw a high-speed slide ball towards home plate.

"Bang!"

The slide, which was moving laterally at a speed of 135 km/h, was caught in front of the hitter's Kuramochi abdomen and behind the outside corner, and was caught with the left hand of the victim Akito Takami who stretched forward.

“Strike.“

The second ball, Manaka's slider to be thrown into home plate again, was a low bad ball that smashed into the ground in the right strike area at a speed of 127 km/h.

"Smack!"

The glove that opened up in front of the crotch blocked the baseball that bounced off after landing, and the catcher Akito Takami reached out to pick up the baseball that stopped in front of the crotch... He wiped the ball on his pant leg and raised his right hand to pass the ball back to the principal in front of him.

"Whew!"

For the third ball, after the hitter was ready again, Manaka stepped on his left foot and waved his right hand to the home plate to throw a knee-high straight ball at a speed of 136 km/h.

"Ping!"

A straight ball that flies from the pitcher's mound to the hitter's knee is hit in the upper part of the batter by the batter Kuramochi swinging downward, and then lands next to the hitting zone bordering the infield sideline.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which bounced forward along the sideline to the left side of third base, was caught in the abdomen by third baseman Takahiro Ohmae, who was behind third base, in the rebound after landing.

"Out!"

After receiving the ball, Omachi Takahiro stepped forward while holding the baseball he had just received in his right hand and swung it in the direction of first base, killing the runner Kuramochi who had already run to Hoshida's side.

"In the first half of the ninth inning, the attack of Qingdao High School, the second baseman, the second baseman, Xiao Minato-kun, the back number..."

Hitter Ryosuke Kominato walked from the waiting area to the batting area and stood up, swung forward with both hands and swung forward, turning his head to look at the pitcher, resting the bat on his left shoulder and waiting for the pitcher to get ready.

“play ball.“

When the referee reaches out his right hand and guides the pitcher to start pitching, the pitcher Manaka walks to the pitcher's board and stands, while Ryosuke Kominato lifts the bat that was originally resting on his left shoulder forward, keeping an eye on the pitcher in front of him.

"Whew!"

For the first ball, Manaka will throw a curved ball to home plate according to the code, and the ball speed is 120km/h.

"Smack!"

The curveball, which moves diagonally downward from the front of the side of the hitter's belt, is caught by a glove placed on the ground by the hand behind the inside corner near the ground.

“Ball.“

For the second ball, Manaka has to wait for the batter to raise the bat and get ready again, then stretch out his left foot and dance his arm to throw a slider to home plate at a speed of 128km/h.

"Ping!"

The slider, which does not look like a good ball, moves laterally at the height of the hitter's right shoulder, and then is hit by the bat, which is swung by the hitter in front of the hitter's abdomen, high in the outer corner, and flies upside down to the left.

"Smack!"

The baseball, which landed behind the pitcher's mound, rolled in the direction of the shortstop and was caught in a crouching position by the shortstop Shimazu deep in the infield.

“out.“

Shimazu took out the baseball from his glove and stepped forward, raised his right hand, and swung the ball in the direction of first base, blocking the runner who had run behind first baseman Hoshida.

"Three people are out, offense and defense are exchanged."

Manaka wants to use a strong pitch to make the Qingdao hitter go up and down three times, and easily end the first half of the ninth inning.

……

"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of the third college in the city, the first bat, the second baseman, Hirakawa-kun, the back number..."

When the batter was ready in the batting zone, Koichiro Tanba followed Chris's code and waved his arm to throw a four-seam inward move fast ball at Ben.

"Ding!"

When the fast ball with a speed of 134 km/h moves horizontally from the front of the hitter's waist to the high position of the outside corner, the batter Takahiro Hirakawa lifts horizontally in front of him and flies backwards, turning into a high fly ball in front of the pitcher's mound.

"Smack!"

Koichiro Tanba, who had been throwing the ball and running forward, saw the hitter hit the high flying ball, and immediately stepped back to the right, and then spread his gloves in front of the pitcher's mound to catch the high flying ball that fell from mid-air.

"In the second half of the ninth inning, the attack of the third college of the city university, the second stick, the left fielder, Oshima-kun, the back number..."

After getting ready in the batting area, Oshima raised his bat upwards and turned his head to keep an eye on the pitcher in front of him, waiting for Tamba to deliver.

"Whew!"

The pitcher's straight ball to home plate went over the home plate from under the inside corner at 139km/h and caught it with a glove that was reached forward by the hitter Chris when it reached in front of the hitter's right calf.

"Bang!".

“Ball.“

In the second ball, Koichiro Tanba followed the catcher's code and threw a knee-high straight ball to home plate.
