Miyuki Kazuya looked at the five-bat hitter in front of him again, and while giving a signal to Yashigami on the pitcher's mound, he moved his whole body slightly outward, and then opened the ball sleeve.
Following the signal given by the catcher, Yagami danced his arms and threw the ball in his palm.
"call out!"
The baseball flashed past the pitcher's mound and was about to fly into home plate in an instant.
This is a fast straight ball!
After making his own judgment, Yamaguchi Masaki swung the metal bat in his hand with all his strength.
"Whoa!"
The metal bat sliced through the air, causing a piercing sound. Unfortunately, the timing of his swing was still a little slow, and the bat that swept across the home plate failed to stop the baseball that was flying from the pitcher's mound toward home plate.
"Bang!"
After the baseball flew into the home plate area, it first avoided the interception of the bat and got into Miyuki Kazuya's open ball sleeve.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Iori Yagami was directly entangled by Yamaguchi Masaki, and all the easy balls were swept away by him.
…
"Ping!"
After seeing the batter in front of him knocking the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, Miyuki Kazuya immediately stood up and shouted: "Shortstop, center fielder!"
After the flying baseball was knocked away by batter Masanori Yamaguchi, runner Takahiro Koyama at second base immediately started running and sprinted towards third base.
"Boom!"
The baseball that flew upside down from home plate escaped the interception of shortstop Taro Fukuda, hit the ground in the infield, and bounced into the center field area.
Miyukiichi, who was at home plate, could only watch as Osaka Kiryu's four-bat Oyama Takahiro ran past third base and rushed back to home plate, but there was nothing he could do.
"One point."
As runner Takahiro Koyama ran back to home plate, the referee signaled Osaka Kiryu to score the first point of the practice game.
“out.“
At the same time, Aomichi's defense knew that they could not stop Takahiro Oyama from running back to home plate to score, so they had no choice but to pinch hitter Masanori Yamaguchi who was running from first base to second base because he wanted to get on base, and successfully knocked him out.
He was blocked at second base and got the third out to end the first half of the fourth inning.
After the first half of the fourth game, Yagami returned to Aido's rest area with other defensive players.
As soon as he came back, he started to change his hitting equipment, put on knee pads and elbow pads for himself, then put on his batting cap, and stood at the door of the dugout waiting for his start.
Not long after, Osaka Kiryu Pitcher Hiromi struck out Aomichi's sixth-bat Masuko Toru without much fuss, and then Aomichi's seventh-bat Jun Isashiki came on to bat.
"Hello, referee!" Jun Isashiki saluted the referee, and then nodded to the new catcher Masari Okada of Kiryu Oita. After doing the above, Isashiki Juncai raised his bat high and pointed at the pitcher on the mound.
Hiromi Tate shouted: "Come here!"
Hiromi Tate was not affected by Isashiki Jun's shouting. She calmly looked at Masari Okada who was squatting behind the home plate, waiting for the catcher's signal. Although his appearance made his expression look...
Very scary.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Isashiki Jun, who swung the bat hard at the first pitch thrown by the pitcher, successfully hit the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound, but unfortunately he missed the ball and the baseball flew backwards toward the third base sideline.
After swinging the bat and standing back up in the batter's box, Isashiki Jun still looked fierce, staring at the pitcher on the mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"ball."
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Swinging the bat, Isashiki Jun stared at Hiromi Tate on the pitcher's mound as always.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Jun Isashiki successfully hit the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound, but unfortunately it was an infield fly ball, which was caught by Hiromi Tate who ran off the pitcher's mound.
“out.“
Isashiki Jun was very angry, swung the bat, and then left the batting area unwillingly.
Catcher Masari Okada looked at Yagami Yagami who was standing on the batter's box, and his whole body became alert.
Although there are only eight bats, he is more difficult to deal with than the previous two hitters. If you are not careful, you may get hit by him. After all, his excellent ball feel and excellent reaction ability are there.
If the pitch is not good and the pitch is guessed, it is not impossible for him to hit the ball and turn it into a second base or even a triple hit.
"play ball."
Following the referee's command to start the game, Masari Okada opened his ball sleeve again and waited for Hiromi on the pitcher's mound to throw the baseball.
Tatehiro, although you can't throw the ball as fast as Yagami, your pitch is still very powerful, so you must throw it low.
Hiromi Tate on the pitcher's mound nodded to the signal from Yarebi Okada. He is also a sophomore and the team's future ace. How could he admit defeat in such a game?
He raised his arms, raised his legs, took steps, twisted his waist, and the baseball in his palm was thrown away by Hiromi Tate.
"call out!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound seemed to be flying directly towards the batter's knees. Driven by instinct, Yagami took a small step back.
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Masari Okada stood up, took out the baseball from his holster and threw it back to Tatehiro. After squatting down, he gave him a new signal.
"call out!"
The baseball thrown by Hiromi Tate bounced off the pitcher's mound and flew toward home plate.
A fast drive into the inside corner?
Iori Yagami stared closely at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, stepped out with his left foot, swung his arms out vigorously, and then swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The metal bat swept away by Yagami Yagami successfully hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The power from the bat made him frown slightly, "Tatehiro's pitch is indeed quite heavy.", arm.
The muscles on his body tightened, and he could only use more force to push the bat he hit away.
"call out!"
Watching the baseball he hit hit the ground in the infield and bounced towards the left field, Yagami immediately dropped the bat and sprinted towards first base.
"Third baseman, shortstop." Masari Okada didn't even take off his protective gear, he stood up immediately and shouted...
Shortstop Sho Nakata saw the baseball about to roll out of the infield after it hit the ground, so he pounced on it but missed a little. He could only watch the baseball in front of him continue to roll toward left field.
After Yagami succeeded in sliding the base, he took another look at the situation on the field. Left fielder Yamaguchi Yoshitsugi was about to pick up the baseball that was still rolling on the lawn. At this time, if he sprinted to second base, he would definitely be defended by Osaka Kiryu.
He was pinched and had no choice but to turn around and retreat to first base and start taking off his protective gear.
