"In the first half of the fourth inning, Seido High School's attack, five bats, center fielder, Murasuke-kun."
Murasuke Daiki stepped into the batting area, swung the bat, and waited for a hit.
"call out!"
Yuuki Saito raised his leg and took a step forward, swinging his arm and throwing a low ball from the outside corner.
"Bang!"
Faced with the first pitch thrown by the pitcher, Daiki Murasuke chose to observe first and let the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound smoothly fly into the open cover of catcher Hidesei Shirakawa.
“nice pitch.“
Shirakawa Eisei stood up and threw the baseball back to the pitcher.
Murasuke Daiki looked at the first base dugout. After receiving the signal from the supervisor, he turned around and moved his hands and feet before holding the bat again and assuming a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Pitcher Saito Yuki continued to swing his arm and threw a low ball in the outside corner. Hitter Murasuke Daiki did not swing the bat like the previous ball, allowing catcher Shirakawa Eisei's open ball cover to smoothly catch the ball from the outside corner.
Baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“nice pitch.“
Although he was cornered by Daocheng Industrial, Daiki Murasuke did not show any panic, and his poker face remained as calm as ever.
"call out!"
Saito Yuuki stepped forward, swung his arms, and threw a low ball from the outside corner as before.
"Whoosh!"
Murasuke Daiki looked at the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound in a similar path to the previous two balls, and vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Ping!"
The metal bat was swung with great force by the batter, causing the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound to fly backwards toward left field at an even faster speed.
"Third base, left field!"
When catcher Hidesei Shirakawa stood up and yelled, third baseman Ryuumi Koyanagi made a big jump and tried to intercept the baseball flying backwards from home plate, but unfortunately failed.
"Boom!"
The baseball flying from home plate hit the left field turf and then rolled into the depths of the left field. Shortstop Takashi Goto chased the baseball while left fielder Yu Funabashi stared closely at the ball.
The baseball rolled over.
“safe.“
At this time, Murasuke Daiki also ran to first base with his Texas hit, then took off his elbow pads and batting gloves and handed them to the players who came to get them.
"In the first half of the fourth inning, Seido High School's attack, six bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun."
Takashi Fujii stepped into the batter's box, swung the bat, and then raised the bat high in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
Saito Yuki nodded, raised his legs, stepped forward, and swung his arms to throw the baseball in his palm. The hitter Takashi Fujii also changed the way he held the bat at this time, holding the short bat while holding it parallel to the home plate.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Saito Yuki threw a ball in the outside corner with a slightly wide angle.
After finishing his conversation with the referee, Takashi Fujii scratched the ground with his bat before holding the bat in his hand. He then leaned the bat against his right shoulder and made a gesture of waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
Yuuki Saito raised his legs and stepped forward, swinging his arms and throwing a curveball that changed diagonally from the bad zone to the strike zone, and from the outside corner to the middle and low area.
"Bang!"
Shirakawa Eisei's open ball sleeve successfully caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The batter Takashi Fujii was in the middle position. There was no way for the bat parallel to the home plate to hit the baseball flying from such a path.
of.
“nice pitch.“
Catcher Eisei Shirakawa stood up and passed the baseball in his hand to pitcher Yuki Saito, while hitter Takashi Fujii turned to look at the first base dugout.
After receiving the signal from the supervisor, Takashi Fujii stepped into the batting area, swung the bat a few times, and waited for a hit.
"call out!"
Saito Yuki nodded, raised his legs, stepped forward, waved his arms and threw the baseball in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
No! I had swung the bat as low as possible, but to my surprise, I still missed the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. Fujii Takashi's swing missed, and the originally bad ball turned into a good ball.
“nice pitch.“
After Shirakawa Eisei caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he immediately stood up, took out the baseball from the ball sleeve and threw it towards second base.
"call out!"
“out.“
Just when many people thought that Shirakawa Eisei was passing the ball back to the pitcher, Saito Yuki directly avoided the baseball that was passed by the catcher, and let the second baseman behind him, Naito Hirosaki, open his ball sleeve and successfully catch the flying baseball.
In baseball, runner Daiki Murasuke was struck out.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
The hitter Takashi Fujii, who was affected by the previous pitch, was half a beat too late to react when pitcher Yuki Saito threw a low ball in the inside corner, allowing the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound to fly smoothly over home plate.
area, falling into the open pocket of catcher Hidesei Shirakawa.
“strike out.“
After being out, Takashi Fujii looked a little downcast and jogged back to the dugout on the first base side.
"In the first half of the fourth inning, Seido High School's attack, seven bats, right fielder, Ota-kun."
After Hiroshi Ohta stepped into the batting box, he raised his right hand to signal to wait for him, and then stepped on the ground of the batting box with both feet. After doing the above, he held the bat and nodded to indicate that the pitcher could start pitching.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Facing the low-position ball thrown from the outside corner by Saito Yuuki with a swing of his arm, Ohta Hiroshi simply followed the trajectory of the baseball and turned his head to look, but did no other actions.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with a low inside-corner ball thrown by the pitcher, the batter Hiroshi Ohta did no other action except turning his head to look at the trajectory of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
It can be said that hitters like Hiroshi Ohta who don't like to actively swing the bat are sometimes quite annoying to pitchers and catchers.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“nice pitch.“
Pitcher Yuuki Saito swung his arm and threw a slider that slid from the outside corner to the center. As usual, batter Hiroshi Ohta did not swing the bat in his hand to strike.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Pitcher Saito Yuuki swung his arm and threw a low ball in the inside corner that went straight to the batter's knees. Hiroshi Ohta stretched his legs back to avoid the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Pitcher Saito Yuuki threw a low-center ball, but batter Hiroshi Ohta still didn't swing the bat as usual.
After he was walked by the pitcher on four pitches, Hiroshi Ohta turned around and put down his bat, took off his batting gloves and knee pads and handed them to the rushing players, and then jogged towards first base.
Yuuki Saito lifted his ball cap and wiped the sweat on both sides of his face with the sleeves of his jersey. He also made these shots very painful. This chapter has been completed!
