Ohmae Takahiro lowered his hands, swung the bat, and regained his posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
Jinguji raised his legs and took a step forward, swinging his arm to throw a Carter ball in the middle and low position.
"Whoa!"
Ohmae Takahiro stared at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and swung the bat in his hand vigorously.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, the Carter ball thrown by Jinguji dropped too much horizontally. When it fell out of the strike zone, it just happened to cross with the batter's bat and hit Chris's ball on the ground.
into the ball sleeve, then bounce forward onto the sand.
“strike.“
Chris stood up and picked up the baseball on the ground, then raised his hand and threw it back to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Jinguji raised his legs and took a step forward, then swung his arm and threw a bad ball in the middle and high position. Unfortunately, the batter did not swing the bat to hit it.
"call out!"
Jinguji nodded, raised his legs, took steps, and swung his arm to throw a low-center Carter ball as Chris asked.
"Whoa!"
Ohmae Takahiro aimed at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and swung the bat in his hand.
Not good! The bat he swung passed and the baseball flew past again, and the pitcher threw another ball that was similar to the second ball before.
"Crack!"
Chris set the ball sleeve up on the sand and successfully caught the falling baseball.
“strike out.“
The situation on the field is that there is one out and there is someone on third base, which is still a very favorable situation for the three major players in the city.
"In the first half of the first inning, attacks from the three major universities in the city, three bats, second baseman, Sato-kun."
Kenta Sato, the city's top three batsman, stepped into the batting box, swung the bat, raised his right hand and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, then raised the bat high and stood up, waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
Following the signal given to him by the catcher, Jinguji raised his leg, stepped forward, and swung his arm to throw a low straight ball from the inside corner.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Batter Kenta Sato swung his bat and hit the baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound, and then hit the ball and hit the lawn in front of home plate.
"Crack!"
After the baseball hit the ground on the lawn, it rolled all the way from the pitcher's mound to second base.
Upon seeing this, Jinguji turned to his right side, stretched out his ball sleeve, and squatted on the ground in an attempt to catch the baseball rolling across the sand on the pitcher's mound. Unfortunately, he failed.
Second baseman Tanaka Yuki quickly ran back to second base to defend. As soon as he ran to the back area of second base and bent down to catch the rolling baseball in a squatting position, the baseball just rolled past his crotch.
Then roll into center field territory.
“safe.“
By the time center fielder Daiki Murasuke stretched out his cover to pick up the rolling baseball, batter Kenta Sato had already successfully run to first base. Even runner Ikuya Araki also ran back to home plate smoothly at this time, winning the victory for the city's third major.
The first point of the game.
Just when Kenta Sato took off his batting gloves and handed them along with the previous protective gear to the team members who came to get something, the voice of the female announcer sounded: "In the first half of the first inning, the attack of the three major universities in the city, four bats,
First baseman, Mr. Tanaka."
Tanaka Yohei walked to the batting area, fiddled with the ground in the batting area a few times with his right foot, swung the bat, leaned back and stretched his arms, then raised the bat high and waited for a strike.
posture.
On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji waved his arm and threw a ball to first base to prevent the runner from leaving the base too far. After minimizing the possibility of the runner stealing the base, he returned his attention to the batter at home plate.
.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with a bad ball thrown by Jinguji that was obviously outside the outside corner with a swing of his arm, the hitter Yohei Tanaka would naturally not swing his arm to hit it.
Catcher Chris stood up and passed the baseball back to the pitcher. Hitter Tanaka Yohei held the bat in his right hand and shook it. Then he looked up at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, holding the bat with both hands and waiting for a hit again.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with a pitcher Jinguji's swinging pitch to the outside corner, batter Yohei Tanaka still didn't swing the bat to hit the ball.
“nice pitch.“
Chris stood up, took out the baseball from the holster, and threw it back to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
Jinguji caught the baseball passed back to him by the catcher with a tee shot, then took two steps back, bent down and pinched the powder bag at his feet, and then returned his gaze to home plate.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a high-pitched ball in the outside corner. Chris moved up to catch the baseball that moved laterally from the pitcher's mound.
“ball.“
Jinguji raised his ball cover to catch the bat flying from home plate, then took off his ball cap and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve. After bending down and pinching the magnesium powder pack, he straightened up and moved his right hand from the ball.
Take out the baseball from the holster.
"call out!"
Jingujiichi nodded when he saw the signal from catcher Chrisby, raised his leg and took a step forward, waving the baseball in his hand.
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
The metal bat swung by Tanaka Yohei swept under the center field ball in the outside corner thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, and missed the ball at a short distance, allowing Chris's ball sleeve to successfully throw the pitcher.
Baseball caught in it.
“strike.“
The batter, Yohei Tanaka, moved his feet, swung the bat, and resumed the action of waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji threw a ball low to the outside corner with a swing of his arm, but due to a problem with the ball control, the ball path became low and outside. The catcher had to move the ball sleeve down before catching the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Crack!"
After the batter once again made a gesture of waiting for a hit, Jinguji Kazu did not rush to throw to home plate, but instead threw a pin to first base, although he failed to eliminate the runner Kenta Sato.
When Jingujiichi saw the catcher nodding towards him, he nodded in the same way, then raised his legs and stepped forward, throwing the baseball in his palm toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Tanaka Yohei aimed at the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, swung the bat in his hand hard, and hit the ball in the center of the pitcher's arm.
"Second base!" Chris took off his mask, stood up and shouted.
"Boom!"
The baseball thrown by the pitcher was hit by the batter's swing, flew towards second base, and finally hit the rear (right) side of second base.
"Porphyrin!"
Second baseman Tanaka Yuki flew to the junction of the second base sand and the lawn, stretched out his ball sleeve and tried to catch the baseball that fell in front of him. Unfortunately, it backfired, and the baseball that fell on the lawn rolled diagonally.
Roll towards the right field area!
"call!"
At the same time, Kenta Sato, the former runner at first base, opened his mouth to gasp for air while running to the sand at second base, only missing the last step to reach the second base bag.
"Murasuke!"
Center fielder Murasuke Daiki desperately chased the rolling baseball until it rolled out of the outfield sideline before bending down to pick it up. This chapter has been completed!
