"In the first half of the fourth inning, Seido High School's attack, eight sticks, catcher, Takikawa-kun."
Chris moved his shoulders and stepped into the batter's box. He looked at pitcher Saito Yuki on the mound, and then turned his attention to Ohta-senpai at first base, and then withdrew his gaze.
He first looked down at the ground in the batting area, then waved the bat in his right hand in a circle, holding it with both hands in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“nice pitch.“
Yuuki Saito swung his arm and threw a low slider in the outside corner that slid from the bad zone to the strike zone. Chris thought that the pitcher swung his arm and threw a bad ball to deceive the batter, waiting for him behind him.
By the time you reacted, it was too late to swing the bat.
When catcher Eisei Shirakawa stood up and passed the ball back to the pitcher, Chris turned his head and glanced at the dugout on the first base side. Director Kataoka didn't give him any signals, and seemed to want him to play freely.
Chris withdrew his gaze, swung the bat, and waited for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Faced with pitcher Yuuki Saito's arm throw from the outside corner, Chris swung his bat and hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, hitting a foul ball that went straight into the first base bleachers.
After the ball count reached second strike, Daocheng Industrial's support group was cheering for pitcher Yuki Saito.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Saito Yuki threw two low-level bad balls in the outside corner, but unfortunately Chris did not swing the bat to attack.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Saito Yuki threw a low ball in the outside corner with his arm as usual, but Chris missed the ball with his swing.
“strike out.“
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."
…
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami hit a bad ball as soon as he came on the field. Unfortunately, the batter Yu Funabashi was not fooled by him and swung the bat.
"call out!"
Iori Yagami took a step forward, followed the signal given to him by the catcher, and swung his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.
"Whoosh!"
Funabashi Yuu stared closely at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, swaying his body and arms, and swung it away like a metal bat.
"Ping!"
The ball in the inside corner that flew from the pitcher's mound was accurately hit by the batter's swinging bat, and then flew toward center field.
"Center field!" Chris stood up and yelled.
Center fielder Daiki Murasuke stared closely at the baseball flying upside down from home plate. After confirming the landing point, he immediately chased after it.
"Boom!"
As soon as the baseball that flew upside down hit the ground, Daiki Murasuke ran over from the side, bent down and put his hands together to pick up the baseball on the ground.
“safe.“
Unfortunately, batter Yu Funabashi followed closely behind and successfully reached first base.
"In the second half of the fourth inning, Daocheng Industrial High School's attack, six bats, pitcher, Saito-kun."
Yuki Saito waved the bat in his hand, waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Ping!"
Faced with a bad ball pitched by pitcher Yagami Yagami, batter Yuki Saito hit it out regardless of the situation, then dropped the bat and started running the bases.
"First base!"
The pitcher and catcher started running, Yagami rushed down to the pitcher's mound, picked up the rolling baseball and threw it towards first base.
“out.“
Tetsuya Yuuki received the baseball from Yagami Yagami first and blocked the batter Yuki Saito from the base.
"In the bottom half of the fourth inning, Daocheng Industrial High School's attack, seven bats, right fielder, Hirai-kun."
After Hirai Tsubasa stepped into the batting area, he lowered his hands, shook the bat in his hand, and then made a gesture of waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with pitcher Yagami Yagami's swinging pitch, hitter Tsubasa Hirai did not swing the bat.
"call out!"
Iori Yagami nodded, raised his legs, stepped forward, and swung his arms to throw a low ball from the outside corner.
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Hirai Tsubasa swung the bat vigorously, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was knocked away hard.
"Out of bounds!"
It was a foul ball that sailed into the third base bleachers.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Faced with Yagami Yagami's low ball from the outside corner, Tsubasa Hirai swung the bat and knocked it away.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball flew over third base and hit the sideline in left field.
"call out!"
Yagami nodded in agreement with Chris's match, then raised his leg, stepped forward, and swung his arm to throw a low-center ball.
"Whoosh!"
"Crack!"
The hitter Tsubasa Hirai's swing missed, and the catcher Chris barely managed to catch the falling baseball by placing his ball sleeve on the ground. Therefore, his arm was almost hit by the batter's swinging bat, which also caused him to lose the ball.
Instinctively, he ducked to the side and threw the baseball behind him from the right side.
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Crack!"
Yagami took off his ball cap and raised his hand to catch the baseball that Chris passed back to him. He also smiled and nodded to Chris to indicate the accident that was just a little bit about to happen.
The batter Hirai Tsubasa, with the cheers and cheers of his own support group, swung his bat and once again made a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Faced with a high pitch in the inside corner thrown by Yagami Yagami, Tsubasa Hirai, as always, swung the bat and hit it toward third base.
"Out of bounds!"
Another foul ball flew out of the sideline.
"call out!"
Yagami nodded, stepped forward with his legs raised, and swung his arms to throw a high-position ball from the outside corner.
"Bang!"
Chris stood up to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. Facing the pitcher's swinging arm, the pitch was obviously high and outside, and the batter Hirai Tsubasa would not be fooled by such a ball.
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Faced with a low-to-center ball thrown by pitcher Yagami Yagami, hitter Tsubasa Hirai swung his bat in an attempt to knock it away, but unfortunately his swing failed.
“strike out.“
"In the second half of the fourth inning, Daocheng Industrial High School's attack, eight bats, pitcher, Shirakawa-kun."
Shirakawa Eisei walked to the side of home plate with the bat in hand, waving the bat with his right hand while looking at the pitchers and infielders who were summoned to the pitcher's mound by the Seido catcher for a tactical exchange.
Without letting him wait any longer, Chris quickly jogged back to squat behind home plate, while all the infielders patted pitcher Yagami Yagami's shoulders or arms before returning to their respective defensive positions.
After the game restarted, Shirakawa Eisei stepped into the batter's box, waved the bat, and waited for a hit; the runner at second base, Funabashi Yuu, walked a few steps away from the base bag.
Be ready to steal a base at any time.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with a high-center ball thrown by the pitcher, Shirakawa Eisei did not swing the bat to strike; Chris stood up to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and then threw the ball out of the ball sleeve to himself
’s right hand, and then passed to second baseman Tanaka Yuki.
"call out!".
"Bang!"
When second baseman Yuuki Tanaka caught Chris's pass and tried to hit the runner, Funabashi Yuu had already swooped back and put his right hand on the second base bag. This chapter has been completed!
