Jinguji swung his arm and threw a Carter pitch that moved laterally from the high inside corner of the non-strike zone to the high outside corner of the strike zone. The batter, Takahiro Ohmae, did not swing the bat.
"Bang!" Chris moved his ball sleeve up to catch the baseball thrown by Jinguji-senpai.
"Ball." The referee called out to indicate that the pitch thrown by the pitcher was a bad ball.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a fast ball toward home plate that was a little high in the outside corner. Chris opened his sleeve and caught the ball. The batter, Takahiro Ohmae, had no time to swing the bat.
"Nice pitch." The referee made a fist with his right hand and raised it to indicate that the pitch thrown by the pitcher was a good pitch.
"Crack!"
"call out!"
Jinguji caught the baseball that Chris passed back to him with a pitch cover, then took out the baseball from the cover and turned around and threw it to first base, trying to eliminate the runner Ikuya Araki, but unfortunately he failed.
He raised his hand to catch the baseball passed back by Yuki. After seeing that the runner Araki only dared to stay next to the base bag and did not dare to stray too far from the base, he returned his eyes to the home plate.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji threw an inside corner ball with a swing of his arm. Without the batter swinging the bat, Chris opened his sleeve and easily caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“nice pitch.“
Chris looked at the burly Takahiro Ohmae in front of him, and gestured with his right hand under his body to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound, telling him to throw a low ball in the outside corner.
"call out!"
Jinguji nodded when he saw the catcher's signal, raised his leg, took a step forward, and threw the baseball in his palm toward home plate.
No! As soon as the baseball flew out of his palm, he realized something was wrong. Because he didn't throw it well, the ball definitely couldn't be a low ball in the outside corner.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Ohmae Takahiro's swing hit the outside corner ball thrown by Jinguji's pitching arm. Chris, who was squatting behind the plate to catch the ball, could only watch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound being knocked away by the batter's swing.
to left field.
"Boom!"
The baseball that flew over from home plate landed on the left field lawn and bounced into the deep left field.
"Crack!"
Takashi Fujii opened the ball sleeve and put it on his chest to catch the baseball bouncing off the lawn. Unfortunately, when he wanted to pass the baseball to second base, runner Ikuya Araki and hitter Takahiro Ohmae had already reached second base and first base respectively.
Seeing this, he had no choice but to take out the baseball from the cover and throw it to the shortstop Fukuda who was nearest him.
Ohmae Takahiro clapped his palms with a smile, then took off his batting gloves and the protective gear on his elbows, and stretched out his hand to the player who came to get something.
"In the first half of the fourth inning, attacks from the three major universities in the city, three bats, second baseman, Sato-kun."
After Kenta Sato stepped into the batting box, he first stepped on the ground with his left foot, and then kicked the ground under his feet with his right foot. He grabbed the bat with his left hand and waved it left and right, then held it tightly with both hands and raised it high.
Make a move to wait for a blow.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Facing the low-center ball thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Kenta Sato did not swing the bat to hit it.
Jinguji caught the baseball passed back to him by the catcher with a tee shot, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, then looked up at Kenta Sato, who was waiting for a hit again on the right batting box, and there was no
Anxious to pitch to home plate.
"call out!"
"Crack!"
Jingujiichi suddenly turned around and threw the baseball in his hand towards the second base, trying to knock out the runner Ikuya Araki. Unfortunately, he failed, so he had to raise his hand to catch the baseball that he had just thrown towards the second base, and then watched Chris gesture towards him.
The signal came out, and he nodded slightly to agree with his match.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
Facing a low ball from the inside corner thrown by Jinguji, Kenta Sato's swing missed.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji raised his legs and took a step, swung his arms and threw a low ball to the inside corner of the home plate again. The batter Kenta Sato did not swing the bat this time.
“nice pitch.“
Jinguji raised his hand to catch the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, then bent down and pinched the powder bag next to him. The batter opposite him, Kenta Sato, grabbed the bat with his left hand and swung it left and right, then raised it high.
Make a move to wait for a blow.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Faced with Jinguji's low ball in the inside corner with a swing of his arm, Sato Kenta did not swing the bat to hit it.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Unexpectedly, Jinguji Kaichi swung his arm and threw a bad ball high in the inside corner. Sato Kenta still did not swing the bat to hit.
Chris raised his hand and passed the ball back to Senior Jinguji. After receiving the pass, the senior bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, then raised his hand and wiped the powder on his cheek with his sleeve.
Sweating, waiting for him to give the signal to pitch.
Bad ball? As soon as Jinguji saw the signal drawn by the catcher, Chris asked him to throw a bad ball next to avoid further entanglement with Sato and concentrate on dealing with the batter behind him.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Facing the high-center ball thrown by Jinguji with a wave of his arm, the referee raised his left hand and stretched out four fingers to signal the batter to get on base.
"In the first half of the first inning, the attack from the three major universities in the city, four bats, first baseman, Tanaka (Yo)-kun."
Tanaka Yohei stood up and left the waiting area, stepped outside the batting area, and then vigorously danced the metal bat in his hand with his right hand. After Aomi's timeout ended, he stopped what he was doing and stepped into the batting area.
Tanaka Yohei raised his left hand to signal to the people around him not to start the game for the time being, then scraped the ground in the left batting area with his left foot, twisted his waist and abdomen, and raised the bat vertically in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with Jinguji's pitch to the outside corner with a swing of his arm, Tanaka Yohei chose to observe Jinguji's current pitch first when he was not sure of getting a hit.
“nice pitch.“
Chris stood up, took out the baseball from his holster, and threw it to Senior Jinguji in front of him.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Jingujiichi followed the catcher's instructions and swung his arm to throw a high-center ball that looked easy to hit. Unfortunately, he did not deceive Tanaka Yohei's swing.
"call out!"
Jinguji continued to follow the signal given to him by the catcher, raised his legs, stepped forward, and waved his arms to throw a ball toward home plate that was actually slightly outside the corner.
"Whoa!"
Tanaka Yohei aimed at the ball flying from the pitcher's mound and swung the metal bat in his hand hard.
"Bang!".
The metal bat swung by the batter and the flying baseball passed each other within a short distance, allowing the baseball that "escaped the bullet" to fly smoothly into Chris's open ball sleeve.
"Strike." The referee made a fist with his right hand and raised it, deciding that the pitch thrown by the pitcher was a strike. This chapter has been completed!
