Seido's defensive players shouted to cheer for pitcher Jinguji Kachi.
The Daocheng Industrial players are constantly cheering for the eight-stick Linkou Shunye who is about to hit the field:
"Swing with all your might!"
"Knock the ball thrown by Jinguji away!"
"Going to bat!"
In line with their expectations, Linkou Shun also stepped into the batting box, lowered his head and leveled the ground with his left foot, swung the bat with his hands down, and then made a posture waiting for a hit.
Chris looked at the batter in front of him and gave his signal to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Facing the low slider in the outside corner thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Linkou Hayabusa also swung his bat and completely missed the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
This time, Jinguji swung his arm and threw a straight ball in the inside corner. Hayabusa Linkou also stepped sideways, swung out the metal bat in his hand, and hit the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound.
"Crack!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter's swing, bounced onto the sand in front of Linkou Hayaya, and then bounced toward third base.
"Third baseman!"
When catcher Chris stood up and yelled, third baseman Dong Qingguo, after observing the approximate landing point of the baseball flying from home plate, ran to stand at the junction of the third base sand and the lawn, and then raised his hand to catch it
Falling baseball.
"call out!"
After Dong Qingguo raised his hand to catch the baseball, he immediately turned sideways and stepped forward to pass the ball to first base.
"Crack!"
When first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki opened his glove to catch the pass from the third baseman, hitter Hayabusa Linkou put his hands on the ground and just flew over the first base bag.
"Safe." The first base umpire calmly stated his decision.
"Bases loaded!"
"Harada-kun hit a home run!"
"Gotta get on base!"
Different from the increasingly tense atmosphere in the stands on the first base side, many people in the stands on the third base side and home plate side have already begun to celebrate.
Harada Masako, who was waiting in the waiting area, just got up and was about to walk to home plate when someone called him from behind.
"Yagong-san!" Cheng Gongming's voice suddenly became hoarse. He tried his best to widen his eyes to prevent his tears from flowing out: "As promised... we must fight it out!"
After listening to Gong Ming's "confession", Harada Masako did not look back. He clenched his right fist and raised it to express his response, and then continued walking towards home plate.
"In the second half of the 13th inning, Daocheng Industrial High School's attack, nine sticks, on behalf of Harada-kun."
Chris looked at the batter standing in the batter's box. He could feel Harada's determination and momentum that he would never give up. After carefully thinking about the next pitch, he asked the god on the pitcher's mound.
Miyadera-senpai drew his own code.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!!"
Faced with a low curveball in the inside corner thrown by pitcher Jinguji with a swing of his arm, batter Masayoshi Harada missed the swing.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a sinker with an inside angle, and then caught it in the open ball sleeve of catcher Chris. The hitter Harada Masako still did not swing the bat to hit.
“ball.“
At the same time, Daocheng Industrial No. 15 player Cheng Gongming stood at the entrance to the dugout on the third base side, with his hands clenched into fists and placed against his mouth, praying silently.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Masako Harada swung the bat and hit Jinguji's quick ball to the inside corner.
"Crack!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter's bat and hit the sand in front of him. Then it bounced off the sand and flew towards third base.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that flew from home plate landed on the lawn in front of the third base sandlot, then rolled toward the third base sideline and became a foul ball.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Facing the outside slider thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Harada Masako did not swing the bat to hit it as before.
"ball." Because this is a bad ball that is obviously wide.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Harada Masako swung his bat and hit a quick straight ball from the inside corner with a swing from Jingu Masera.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter's bat and flew towards the stands on the third base side.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds"
The bat flew from the pitcher's mound and was hit by batter Masako Harada's swing, and then flew toward the stands on the third base side again.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Facing the low-center ball thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Harada Masako remained waiting for the hit, except turning his head to observe the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
Facing the bat thrown by pitcher Jinguji with a swing of his arm, hitter Masaru Harada would swing the bat and knock them away except for obvious bad balls.
The problem was that Jinguji's pitches were all hard to hit. Even if Harada Masako swung the bat to sweep away the flying baseballs, he still couldn't get a hit.
Two good shots and three bad shots, and the increasingly anxious situation on the field also made the players from Qingdao and Daocheng Industrial become anxious.
Chris's mind was racing. What ball should he ask for from Jinguji-senpai next?
On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji once again bent down to pinch the powder packet, feeling the sensitivity of his fingertips, and then raised his hand to blow the powder on his fingers.
After doing the above, Jinguji looked up at home plate, waiting for the catcher's signal.
Sweat was already flowing on the forehead of the batter Masako Harada, but he had no intention of wiping it off. After holding the bat tightly in his right hand and rotating it for a few times, he put his left hand up, waiting for a hit.
The Jinguji pair clicked on the signal that Chris had given. At the last moment, he glanced at the batter Masako Harada who was standing on the batter's box, and then locked his eyes on the ball cover that Chris had placed.
Go up, lift your legs, take steps, swing your arms.
"Whoops!" The baseball flew straight from the pitcher's mound to home plate.
Masako Harada stared closely at the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
However, when the metal bat in his hand swept past home plate, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew to home plate and fell into Chris's open ball sleeve.
"Bang!"
“strike out.“.
"Strikeout! Seido High School got the last out, the score is 5:4! Seido High School won the semi-finals and will compete with the city's three major universities the day after tomorrow. Nishitokyo representative at the National High School Wildball Players Conference
right!"
Unlike Seido players who gathered to cheer and celebrate in the area from the pitcher's mound to first base after winning the game, Daocheng Industrial player Masaru Harada directly threw away the bat in his hand after losing the game, first put his hands on his knees and stared down.
On the sandy ground of home base, he knelt down with his legs and then his whole body, his eyes getting redder and redder. This chapter has been completed!
