Swinging the bat, Chris stood on the batting cage again without saying a word. There was no need to think about it. His intuition was that the next ball thrown by the pitcher would most likely be a straight ball from the outside corner, and the next ball would be a straight ball from the inside corner.
The possibility is not too small.
"Phew!" Narimiya Ming threw the ball even faster than the previous one with a wave of his arm. It was like a white light that shot straight from the pitcher's mound to home plate.
The moment Narumiya took the baseball out of his hand, Chris stepped to the side, aimed at the path of the baseball, and shook his arm vigorously. The bat swept an afterimage above the home plate.
.
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter and flew backwards towards left field. Chris dropped the bat in his hand and rushed towards first base.
Regarding the ball just now, Chris was confident that at least it would be a long hit in the left field, with enough time for him to run to second base...
"Boom!"
"bite!"
The baseball flying from home plate hit the angle formed by the sideline extending from third base and the sideline in left field near the home run fence, and directly hit the edge of the angle during the bounce after landing.
on the club, and then flew behind the running left fielder Yu Funabashi.
Just after running past second base, Chris suddenly felt that something was not right about the atmosphere on the field. The third base instructor at third base, Tojima-senpai, was waving his hands and shouting something to him excitedly.
"Go! go! go! Chris! Triple hit?!" Senior Tojima shouted to Chris in front with a smile on his face, and made exaggerated gestures with his hands.
Only then did Chris understand why the atmosphere on the field had become strange. Not only did the movement of his feet show no sign of stopping, he even accelerated his headlong sprint towards third base.
“safe.“
After the third-base umpire raised his right hand to indicate that the batter Chris was on base safely, the spectators in the first-base stands cheered and the music department also changed to a music piece specially prepared when the batter hits a triple.
"Three base hits! Another triple hit from left field! Unexpectedly, three base hits that are rarely seen in normal times were actually hit twice by Qingdao batters in this game. This is really worth it.
A game to remember! The current situation on the field is that there is two out and there is someone on third base. Can the follow-up batter set up the victory for Qingdao University?" The commentator seemed very excited. He talked about it for a long time, until Daocheng Industrial asked later
The referee had to stop only after the timeout requested by the referee ended.
Yagami ran to home plate and picked up the bat that Chris just dropped. Then he walked to third base. After high-fiving Chris at third base, he took the bat that Chris handed him.
Batting gloves and kneepads jogged back to the dugout on the first base side.
On the pitcher's mound, catcher Shirakawa Eisei requested a timeout from the referee and ran directly to the pitcher's mound. At this time, Narumiya stared at the runner Chris at third base with his eyes wide open, and his left hand firmly grasped the palm of his hand.
of baseball.
"It's just a three-base hit, we will win it back later!" Shirakawa Eisei thought for a while, and after all, he did not blame Junior Narimiya for not listening to his instructions, but instead comforted him.
"Senior Yingsheng, is my straight ball that easy to hit?" Narimiya Ming still chose to put his eyes on Chris at third base, and then asked him in a low voice.
"It's not easy to hit. The reason why Takigawa was able to hit a three-base hit was not only good luck, but also because he completely guessed what ball you were going to throw next." Shirakawa Eisei truthfully told Cheng what he knew.
Senior Gong, he has been guessed by Chris.
Cheng Gongming pursed his lips, lowered his proud head and muttered: "Next, I will throw the ball to the place designated by Senior Yingsheng."
After hearing this, Shirakawa Eisei directly raised his right hand and patted Narumiya's slightly lowered head through the ball cap, then turned and left the pitcher's mound.
"In the first half of the tenth inning, Seido High School's attack, eight bats, right fielder, Kuraza-kun."
Naoya Kuraza stepped into the batting box, flexed his right wrist, and raised the bat.
Narimiya Ming, what kind of ball will he throw?
As a catcher, guessing the ball is a routine operation, and he is still looking forward to swinging the bat to knock the ball thrown by the opponent's arm away.
Narumiya, who had already decided to pitch honestly, did not change his mind because of Naoya Kuraza's appearance. Narumiya looked seriously at the catcher at home plate, and after receiving the signal given to him by Eisei-senpai, he directly
Follow the opponent's request to raise your legs, swing your arms, and throw the baseball in your hand.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
A fast straight ball to the outside corner?
After Naoya Kuraza failed to swing at the outside pitch thrown by Narumiya Naru, he waved the bat in his hand and stood up again in the batter's box.
At the same time, his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking about how he would match the ball next if it was him. If the batter missed with his swing, he would hit another ball in the same position; when he was full of energy, the pitcher would throw it.
The baseball should be as close to the edge of the home plate as possible, making it difficult for the batter to judge whether it is good or bad. Even if the batter chooses to swing the bat, it is easy to hit a foul ball when facing such a ball, or even miss the swing.
While hitter Naoya Kuraza was thinking about the catcher's delivery, pitcher Narumiya swung the baseball in his hand and threw it again.
"call out!"
The pitcher's pitch was a straight pitch to the inside corner?! Naoya Kuraza accordingly swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Whoa!"
The problem was that when he swung the bat and swept over, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound dropped rapidly downwards.
"Ping!"
The batter's swinging bat hit the top of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The baseball was hit by the bat and landed directly on the sand in front of home plate. Then it bounced out of the infield sideline and was hit by the bat.
Catcher Hidesei Shirakawa stood up quickly and reached out to grab it.
"Strike." The referee shouted to indicate that the ball was a good ball.
Unexpectedly, the pitcher swung his arm and threw a fork ball. Naoya Kuraza looked up at the pitcher's mound in surprise. Pitcher Narumiya Naruya was looking at him with an indifferent expression.
He is indeed the most famous pitcher in this generation in Tokyo. He is really difficult to deal with!
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Naoya Kuraza hit the outside corner kick thrown by Narumiya Naru with his swing.
"Crack!"
The baseball was hit by the batter's swing and landed on the edge of the sand at home plate, then bounced toward second base.
Pitcher Narumiya stretched out his arm to intercept the baseball flying over the pitcher's mound, but unfortunately failed; shortstop Takashi Goto flew to the sand at second base, and then successfully caught the baseball from home plate with a slight jump.
There's a baseball flying over there.
"Phew!" Goto Takashi swung his arm and passed the baseball in his hand to first base.
"Crack!"
"Porphyrin!"
First baseman Hinoki Kojiro just raised his hand to catch the baseball passed by the shortstop. At this time, batter Naoya Kuraza slid sideways past the first base bag.
"out." the first base umpire called out and made his own decision.
Narimiya, with the cooperation of Shirakawa Eisei, successfully got the last out, ending the first half of the tenth inning. This chapter has been completed!
