Supervisor Du Xiaopingnan stopped the bat who was about to hit the bat, gave him a few instructions in his ear, and then patted him on the shoulder. The latter nodded and ran towards the batting area.
The pitcher's mound that had not been stepped on by anyone else belonged solely to him. Koichiro Tanba looked down at the dirt on the pitcher's mound, and then tidied it up bit by bit according to his own habits until the game started.
"Buzz-buzz-buzz-"
At 11:35, as the air raid siren sounded, Koichiro Tanba waved his arm and threw the baseball in his hand.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Although Du Xiaopingnan swung the bat in his hand vigorously, he did not touch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and his swing missed; behind him, Miyukiichi also stretched out his ball sleeve to catch the ball steadily.
A curve that is not low in completion.
Tanba-senpai was in good condition today. Miyukiichi also took out a baseball from his holster and passed it back to him, then gave the signal and set up his holster.
Tanba Koichiro nodded, put his right hand behind his back and turned the baseball in his hand, raised his leg, took a step, waved his arm, and threw the baseball in his hand again.
"call out!"
The baseball flew from the pitcher's mound with a streak of white light. Just when the batter thought it was a straight ball and swung the bat out, the longitudinal displacement of the baseball became larger and larger, directly avoiding the ball that the batter swung at.
The stick fell into the ball sleeve set by Miko Kazuya.
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Miyukiichi also stood up and passed the baseball back to Tanba-senpai. Then after giving the signal, he moved his position slightly, opened his ball sleeve, and waited for Tanba-senpai's pitch.
Du Xiaopingnan, who had already missed twice with his swing, waved the bat in his hand, took a good posture, and continued to wait for the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. However, he had a vague feeling in his heart that there was a high probability that he would miss the third ball.
Missed.
"call out!"
The baseball flying toward the outside corner made him swing the bat directly in his hand under conditioned reflex. Unfortunately, he missed the flying baseball in the end. The baseball was firmly hit by Aomichi catcher Kazuya Miyuki in the low area of the outside corner.
Caught in the ball sleeve.
"Bang!"
“strike out.“
After Tanba Koichiro got the first strikeout of the game neatly, he caught the baseball passed back to him by Miyuki Kazuya, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag at his feet, and then took out the baseball from the ball cover.
.
The next signal that Miyuki Kazuya gave him was to still throw a curveball, a curveball that was not as complete as an ordinary curveball.
A vertical curveball is the same as an ordinary curveball in terms of ball speed and other aspects, only the amount of lateral change is slightly smaller.
Miyuki Kazuya and Tanba Koichiro had already decided before taking the field. In this game, Tanba Koichiro would try his best to throw change balls, and throw less or even none of his sweet straight balls. Therefore, under such circumstances, Tanba
How far can Koichiro shoot? It depends on his own performance and Miyuki Kazuya's coordination.
"Strikeout! The substitute sophomore pitcher Aomichi not only allowed three hits to get on base, but he also knocked out Takeuchi with a lob for Minami Toshidaira's fourth hit. He's pretty good."
After the first half of the first game, the audience in the stands started talking again.
In comparison, Minami Minami's pitcher Shigematsu, who came into the game in the second half of the first inning, used two 4-balls at the start of the game to send Toru Aomi, the second pitcher, and Tetsuya Yuki, the third pitcher, to the bases.
sex, you can see the difference in pitching level between the two pitchers.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
With the sound of the metal bat colliding fiercely with the speeding baseball, Daiki Murasuke, one of Seido's fourth batsmen, hit a home run from Shigematsu, a pitcher at Minami Miyako, and Seido took the lead in scoring three points.
.
"Murasuke, the limelight has been stolen by you."
"Vice Captain, well done!"
"Fujii, come on, don't let Murasuke get all the benefits!"
In the stands on the third base side, the members of the second and third armies of the Qingdao Baseball Club were boiling like chicken blood. Even the members of the first army staying in the dugout were cheering.
At the same time, the atmosphere in Du Xiaopingnan's dugout on the first base side was terribly gloomy. Supervisor Du Xiaopingnan folded his arms, and kept tapping his arm with the fingers of his right hand. He said nothing and looked at the situation on the field.
.
Takashi Fujii faced the first pitch thrown by pitcher Shigematsu. He immediately chose to swing the bat in his hand, successfully hit the flying baseball and knocked out a double. He ran to second base and took off his protective cover.
He handed the tool to the running coach who came to get it, moved his neck a few times, stretched his arms, then stepped on the base bag a few steps away, making a casual gesture of preparing to steal a base.
Unfortunately, the baseball hit by Kotaro Tojima, the sixth bat of Aomichi, was caught by the infield fielder of Minami Tokodaira. Now it is two outs and there is a man on second base.
After Aomichi's seven-bat Isashiki Jun successfully hit a single, a situation was created with the first and third bases occupied and the second out.
Koichiro Tanba, who is the eight batsman, walked up to the batting box with his bat, waved the bat in his hand, and then made a gesture of waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
The baseball thrown by Shigematsu flew from the pitcher's mound. Koichiro Tanba did not swing the bat because the ball flying from the pitcher's mound was too low, but chose to let it fly past his eyes.
"Bang!"
“ball.“
The baseball thrown by Shigematsu quickly flew over again. Regardless of the height of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and the speed of the ball, it was easy to hit. Koichiro Tanba did not hesitate to swing the bat and swung it out with great force.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
The baseball was hit by the batter and flew straight into the sky. Even if Koichiro Tanha knew that he had been deceived by Shigematsu, the pitcher of Minami Kodaira, he could only drop the bat and start running the bases immediately.
Although the baseball flying from home plate will be quickly caught by Du Xiaopingnan's fielder, if you don't try hard, how will you know that there is no chance? Unfortunately, when he was about to run to first base, the right fielder successfully caught the ball.
Live the baseball falling from mid-air.
“out.“
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."
After Koichiro Tanba knew he was out, he trotted back to Aido's dugout. The runners on base, Fujii-senpai and Jun Isashiki, also trotted back to the dugout with him.
…
"The flying baseball was knocked out by the Seido batter again."
"Du Xiaopingnan's relievers were quickly stunned by Qingdao's strong hitting line."
"I couldn't bear it anymore. At the end of the first half of the sixth game, the score between the two sides was 1:6. The gap was really too big."
"It seems that Qingdao and the others are preparing to end the game early in the seventh round."
"Speaking of which, Qingdao, a second-year relief pitcher, is quite good. From time to time he can strike out the batters of Du Xiaopingnan.".
"It's just that Du Xiaopingnan and the others are too weak as opponents and don't have much reference."
While the audience was talking about this, students from other schools who came to investigate the information were also discussing with each other. This chapter has been completed!
