After the practice match, Bailong's supervisor asked the captain of the Bailong Baseball Club to lead everyone from Qingdao to their cafeteria for dinner.
After having lunch, everyone in Qingdao got on the school bus and prepared to set off towards their next destination, Kendai Takasaki.
Before leaving, Bailong's supervisor held Supervisor Kataoka's hand and said: "This year's Seido is really exciting."
Director Kataoka also said very politely: "I hope we can meet again in Koshien."
At 14:15 in the afternoon, the school bus from Qingdao drove into the campus of Kendai Takasaki as scheduled.
After supervisors Kataoka and Kendai Takasaki greeted each other, they exchanged their playing lists. On Aomichi's side, Takuya Kimura started, Koichiro Tanba and Yagami served as substitutes, Kentaro Matsuda served as catcher, and Naoya Kuraza served as catcher.
The right fielder is a seven-bat player, and Tetsuya Yuki is a first baseman and a six-bat player.
“How does it feel to be an outfielder?”
Because Aomichi attacked first, Yagami Ya sat down next to Naoya Kuraza who had not yet entered the attack and asked him.
He and Miyuki may be almost the same in terms of matchmaking, but as a team leader and even as a soul to guide others, he is still inferior to Miyuki! After all, since he was injured in the Kanto Tournament last year, his subsequent
He spends most of his time recuperating, unlike Miyukiichi who was able to participate in the competition before the end of last summer; after retiring, his daily training will definitely not be interrupted. Under such circumstances, Miyukiichi will naturally be able to perform better than
Excellent yourself.
In this way, Miyuki Kazuya naturally has more opportunities to catch catches than himself, but because his hitting ability is better than Miyuki Kazuya, the number of times he plays fielding and hitting as an outfielder is naturally not as high as Miyuki Kazuya's.
Yes, it can be regarded as giving up and gaining something.
…
In this practice match between Aomichi and Kendai Takasaki, the final score was fixed at 2:1. Aomichi won the practice match. Takuya Kimura came on as the starting pitcher, and Koichiro Tanba came on as a reliever in the fifth inning.
Pitch the entire game.
So far, out of the six games that the Seido Baseball Club has gone on an expedition, Seido has won four, lost one, and has one game yet to be played. Only Kiryu Osaka is left on the last day of the four-day expedition.
"So tired!"
After returning to the hotel and opening the door, Naoya Kuraza, who was playing in both practice matches today, casually threw his backpack to the ground. He lay on the floor so tired that he didn't want to move. Koichiro Tanba had to follow behind.
Yagami and Yagami stepped forward and moved him to the bed together.
"Tanbo, I'm leaving first, you have to remember to take a good rest." After Yagami said that, he turned around and left.
"You... don't sleep for too long, we will have dinner soon!" Among the five second-graders, Isashiki Jun, who also did not play today, returned to the room and put away his things. He walked out and saw that the door of the next room was not closed.
I came over to take a look and found Koichiro Tanba and Naoya Kuraza who were both resting.
After Isashiki Jun whispered the instructions, he thoughtfully closed the door of their room for them. Then he returned to his room and looked at Tetsuya Yuuki, who was also resting on the bed. He gently opened his backpack and took out the textbook.
I left the room and went to ask Iori for advice (copy my homework).
Forty minutes later, Isashiki Jun looked at the time and found that it was already 6:30. He immediately put away his homework and said goodbye to Yagami, then returned to his room and patted Yuki Tetsuya awake, then ran to the next room and knocked on the door to call others.
People get up and go to have dinner.
But after all, he was still a young boy in his prime. Yin Yin had been quite tired before, but after a simple rest and a hearty meal, he immediately regained his energy.
Director Kataoka still arrived at the conference room a few minutes early. He did not analyze too much today's two practice matches. After briefly mentioning a few mistakes and shortcomings in the game, he began to announce the next day's match against Osaka Kiryu.
starting list.
The starting pitcher is Yagami Yagami, the catcher is Kazuya Miyuki, and except for Koichiro Tanba, the remaining three sophomores are also in the starting lineup.
As always, Rei Takashima lined up behind Director Kataoka and told everyone the schedule for the next day.
On cloudy days, I will check out before 8 a.m. and then leave for Osaka on time. After the practice match with Osaka Kiryu, I will return directly to Tokyo.
…
On May 7th, after the daily morning training and meals, everyone in Qingdao went to the first floor to gather together at almost eight o'clock.
After Takashima Rei completed the check-out procedures at the front desk, he led everyone to the parking lot. It was estimated that it would be evening by the time they returned to Tokyo from their expedition.
At 11:41 p.m., the practice match between Seido and Osaka Kiryu will officially begin. The captains of both sides decided to attack first, with Seido attacking later.
After the players of Aomichi and Osaka Kiryu saluted each other, Yagami walked onto the pitcher's mound and started pre-game preparations. Miyukiichi was also standing next to him, and just as he was about to say something, Yagami took the lead: "We are going to
Don’t try to shut the other person down.”
"Ah - eh?" Miyukiichi could only give up what he originally wanted to say, raised the corner of his mouth, and said rather unscrupulously: "Senior's tone is really loud."
"How can you know if you don't try it?" Yagami turned the baseball in his left hand, "This is a team with the top hitting line in the country."
"In this case, I may ask for some tricky balls. Mr. Yagami, can you throw them?" Miyukiichi also covered his mouth with a ball cover and said.
"It's not a problem, just feel free to ask for the ball." Yagami patted Kazuya Miyuki on the shoulder, then pushed him and asked him to leave the pitcher's mound and return to home plate.
Miyuki Kazuya walked back to the home plate and crouched down, then beat the ball cover with his hand, then put it in the position he wanted, and gave his signal to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
The sound of a baseball flying from the pitcher's mound into the catcher's mound is clear and loud.
“nice pitch.“
Miyuki Kazu also stood up and took out a baseball from his holster, waving his arm and passing it to Yashigami.
Just like this, the two of them passed the ball to each other to warm up. At the same time, a scout from Osaka took out a speed gun and measured the speed of several fast straight balls thrown by Yagami Yagami.
"The ball speed is between 140~145km/h. It seems that there should be some reservations."
After all, Aomichi is the semi-finalist in Koshien this spring. Yagami Yagami is Aomichi's main pitcher, so they still know something about him.
Yagami Yagami and Miyukiichi simply warmed up, and the referee signaled the game to start.
Oita Kiryuichi Yamaguchi Shotsugi walked up to the batter's box, waved the metal bat in his hand, and then swung the bat vigorously as the air raid siren sounded.
