Tetsuya Yuuki held the bat tightly with both hands, spun it twice in front of him, then stood it up, in a posture waiting for a hit.
Catcher Shirakawa Eisei and pitcher Saito Yuki compared each other's signals, moved a step inward, and placed the ball sleeve close to the batter's thigh.
After doing the above, Shirakawa Eisei stood up to observe the situation on the field, and confirmed the secret signals with the second base, third base and shortstop and other infielders; Saito Yuki stepped to the magnesium powder bag, bent down and reached out to grab it
He squeezed the magnesium powder bag on the ground, then released his palm and let the magnesium powder bag fall to the sand again; Yuki Tetsuya looked down at the ground in the hitting area, took a step and exited the hitting area, and then moved his legs again
, then walked into the batting area again and stood up.
"call out!"
Saito Yuki nodded, raised his legs, stepped forward, and swung his arms to throw a curveball that dropped diagonally from the outside corner to the low inside corner.
“Porphyrin!“
Shirakawa Eisei quickly moved his ball sleeve down to catch the low ball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“ball.“
The curveball thrown by Saito Yuki from the pitcher's mound fell too diagonally, causing the baseball to just fall out of the strike zone when it flew to the home plate, and then landed below the batter's knee.
Caught in the captor's ball bag.
Shirakawa Eisei raised his hand and threw the baseball he caught back to Saito Yuki. Yuuki Tetsuya swung the bat, raised his hand to put it on the top of the batting cap to straighten it, and then resumed his posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yuki Saito swung his arm and threw a low ball in the outside corner that almost hit the sand. Eisei Shirakawa also moved the ball sleeve down to the ground before catching the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
Saito Yuki raised his hand to catch the baseball passed back by the catcher, and Yuki Tetsuya waved the bat in his hand, waiting for a hit again.
"call out!"
After Yuki Saito pretended to throw the ball, he waved the ball toward third base in an attempt to eliminate the runner at third base.
"Crack!"
“safe.“
Unfortunately, when third baseman Ryuumi Koyanagi received the pitcher's pass, runner Isashiki Jun just reached out and flew back to third base.
Isashiki Jun smiled broadly, stretched out his hand to straighten his belt, and stared at the situation at the pitcher's mound and home plate with fighting spirit, waiting for an opportunity.
Tetsuya Yuuki raised his hand to straighten his batting cap, then held the bat in his right hand and swung it before reassuring his posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
Saito Yuuki threw a low ball in the inside corner with his arm. Yuki Tetsuya straightened his legs and kicked back to avoid the baseball that was heading towards his knees.
"Crack!"
Eisei Shirakawa opened his glove to block the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The flying baseball hit the catcher's open glove and fell to the right.
“nice pitch.“
Even if the catcher fails to catch the baseball thrown by the pitcher and a catch occurs, the referee will still judge the ball as a strike.
Shirakawa Eisei picked up the baseball on the ground, stood up and threw it back to Saito Yuki.
Tetsuya Yuuki lowered his head and used his feet to level the ground in the hitting area, then swung the bat, held it up, and waited for a hit.
"call out!"
Yuuki Saito raised his legs, took a step, swung his arms and threw a curveball that dropped diagonally from the middle area of the outside corner to the low area of the infield.
"Bang!"
Because the batter, Tetsuya Yuuki, did not swing the bat, Shirakawa Eisei opened his ball cover and successfully caught the flying baseball.
“ball.“
Yuki Saito's curveball was once again ruled a bad ball by the referee because of its relatively large fall.
Saito Yuuki opened his ball sleeve to catch the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder packet next to him, and then after a period of heavy breathing, he calmed down and nodded towards Shirakawa Hidei.
Shirakawa Eisei stood up and walked to the left batter's box, squatted down, opened his ball cover and waited for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Shirakawa Eisei's open glove just caught the low ball in the outside corner thrown by Saito Yuki with his arm. Although it was just a little bit short, the baseball caught by the catcher would have been squeezed out of the glove.
"Nice pitch." The referee will raise his left hand flat in front of his chest near his abdomen, raise his right hand and judge the pitch thrown by the pitcher as a good pitch.
"Come on! Come on! Come on!"
"Saito-senpai, you must strike out the batter!"
"Riceland Industry is bound to win!"
When there were three bad goals just now, it was Qingdao's support group who was shouting and cheering loudly. Now it is the turn of Daocheng Industrial's support group to cheer!
After the timeout he requested from the referee ended, Saito Yuuki took a few deep breaths and slowly exhaled, licked his lips, then raised his legs and stepped forward as required by the catcher, swinging his arms to throw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
Yuuki Saito swung his arm and threw a curveball that moved diagonally from the high outside corner (non-strike zone) to the middle inside corner.
"Bang!"
Shirakawa Eisei opened his sleeve and caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound close to the batter's belly.
“nice pitch.“
The referee raised his left hand and raised his right hand to judge the ball thrown by Saito Yuki as a strike.
“strike out.“
After Tetsuya Yuki was struck out by the pitcher, he held the bat in his right hand and ran back to the dugout next to first base with his head lowered.
"In the first half of the ninth inning, Seido High School's attack, four bats, third baseman, Tojun."
Dong Qingguo walked to the batter's box amidst the sound of the broadcast. After briefly swinging the bat in his hand twice, he immediately assumed a posture waiting for a hit.
Saito Yuki licked his lips, ignoring the increasing sweat on his cheeks, staring closely at the green hitter Higashi Kiyokuni in the batting area, then following the signal given by the catcher, he raised his legs and stepped forward, swinging his arms to catch the player.
The baseball in his hand flew toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
Tokiyokuni Toki faced the low outside corner ball thrown by Yuki Saito with his arm, and he swung the bat in his hand vigorously.
"Bang!"
Shirakawa Eisei lowered his sleeve to catch the baseball thrown by Saito Yuki on the pitcher's mound, and the batter Higashi Kiyokuni's swing missed.
"call out!"
Saito Yuki stepped forward, followed the signal given to him by the catcher, and swung his arm to throw a ball in the inside corner.
"Crack!"
Saito Yuki's pitch count had already exceeded 100 in the fifth inning. In the last inning, due to the heavy consumption of physical strength, he had a very big problem with the ball: he swung his arm and threw a ball that was close to the ball.
Not to mention the baseball flying past the batter's waist, catcher Hidesei Shirakawa did not expect that the pitcher's ball control would become so poor, and he had no time to react, let alone move his sleeve to block the baseball that was about to fly behind him.
"Hurry!" Higashi Kiyokuni backed up and waved, asking Jun Isashiki, the runner at third base, to run back to home base as quickly as possible.
"I'm coming!"
Under the command of his admired senior Higashi-senpai, Isashiki Jun shouted and sprinted back toward home plate.
"yes!"
After Isashiki crossed home plate, he immediately jumped up and stretched out his right hand to say "Come on!" to himself. He looked very excited. This chapter has been completed!
