Jinguji swung his arm and threw a ball in the inside corner, but the batter, Takahiro Ohmae, didn't swing the bat to hit it.
Chris knelt on one knee and threw the baseball he just caught back to Jinguji Kazu. The batter next to him, Ohmae Takahiro, continued to wait for the hit, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a curveball that dropped diagonally from near the batter's head to the middle of the outside corner. Although the completion was not very good, it still made the batter Takahiro Ohmae dare not swing the bat at will.
To strike.
"Bang!"
“good shot.“
Chris opened his glove and caught the baseball thrown by Jinguji-senpai. After the referee behind him raised his right hand to make a decision, he caught the baseball that slipped out of the glove with his right hand and threw it back to the senior on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Faced with a low ball in the outside corner that was thrown by the pitcher with a swing of his arm, Ohmae Takahiro still did not swing the bat to strike.
After Takahiro Ohmae left the batting box and walked around, he walked back into the batting box and stood up. He held the bat in both hands and waved it, then raised it upright, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Facing the inside-corner ball thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Ohmae Takahiro bent down and pushed his butt back to avoid the baseball that came flying from the pitcher's mound.
“bad shot.“
After the catcher's glove catches the baseball pitched by the pitcher, the umpire announces that the pitch is a bad ball.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Ohmae Takahiro hit a ball in the inside corner that Jinguji threw with his arm. The flying baseball collided with the swinging bat and flew high into the air, gradually moving away to the left field.
.
After the baseball thrown by the pitcher was hit by the batter, left fielder Takashi Fujii stepped back and stared at the baseball flying from home plate. Finally, he reached out to catch the falling baseball as he stepped on the sideline.
Even if he couldn't stop in time due to the inertia of his own running, it was worth it even if he hit the home run wall head-on because the hitter Takahiro Mae Mae had already been thrown out by him.
"I just worked so hard."
"The limelight has been stolen by you alone again."
"Welcome back!"
After the game, Takashi Fujii ran back to the third base dugout and was warmly welcomed by the crowd at Seido.
…
"In the bottom half of the sixth inning, Seido High School's attack, five bats, center fielder, Murasuke-kun."
Murasuke Daiki stepped up to the left batter's box, grabbed the bat with his left hand and swung it vigorously by his side for a few times, then raised it high and made a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Facing the first pitch thrown by the pitcher, Murasuke Daiki chose to actively swing the bat and hit the high inside corner ball he threw with his arm.
"Shortstop, left fielder!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter's bat and shot straight into the sky. Catcher Shuhei Ikenaga immediately stood up and shouted after seeing the baseball that had flown in front of him and was hit by the batter's swing.
The batter hit a fly ball towards the left field area. The left fielder Yusuke Murahashi stared at the baseball flying from home plate and ran out deep in the left field. On the other side, the shortstop Araki
Ikuya also chased after him desperately, running from the infield area near center field into the left field area, and then jumped up before Yusuke Murahashi to catch the baseball that was about to fly from above.
“out.“
After the defensive shortstop successfully catches the hitter's fly ball, the first base umpire located next to the infield sideline from home plate to first base immediately raises his right hand to signal that the batter has been thrown out.
"In the bottom half of the sixth inning, Seido High School's attack, six bats, left fielder, Fujii-kun."
After Takashi Fujii stepped into the batting area, he lowered his hands and swung the bat, then raised the bat upright in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
Facing the outside corner ball that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, Fujii Takashi swung the bat in his hand hard, but unfortunately, the flying baseball missed his bat by a hair's breadth, and he swung the bat.
Failed.
“good shot.“
After the metal bat swept across the home plate, Fujii Takashi let go of his right hand and turned the bat with his left hand to clamp it to his side. At the same time, due to the inertia of his body twisting, he also
Step into the right batter's box and come directly in front of home plate.
After the batter walked back to the batter's box, Shuhei Ikenaga threw the baseball he just caught back to Kaname Manaka on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Takashi Fujii swung the bat and hit the low ball in the outside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm, and then it bounced on the sand and flew toward third base.
"Crack!"
The baseball flying from home plate flew out of the sideline and fell on the sand next to the third base bag. The rushing third baseman Takahiro Ohmae bent down to pick it up, and then stepped forward and waved it to the first base.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
By the time first baseman Yohei Tanaka opened his sleeve to catch the baseball passed by the third baseman, hitter Takashi Fujii had already passed the first base bag one step ahead of him.
Who would have thought that the first base umpire came over at this time and raised his hands to indicate that the batter's at-bat was invalid because the ball he just hit was a foul ball.
Takashi Fujii walked back to home plate and picked up the bat he had dropped on the ground. He stepped into the batting area and stood up, holding the bat high and reassuringly waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Manaka had to swing his arm to throw a ball that was higher than the batter and required the catcher to stand up and stretch his arm to catch it. This also caused the hitter Takashi Fujii to turn a blind eye to the ball thrown by the pitcher until the catcher reached out.
When he caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he changed his gaze and no longer stared at the situation on the pitcher's mound.
“bad shot.“
Shuhei Ikenaga reached out and threw the baseball he caught back to the pitcher. The batter next to him, Takashi Fujii, stood in the batter's box, swung the bat with his left hand and raised it high, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
He was about to swing his arm and throw a low-pitched ball in the outside corner that was a bit wide and would most likely be deemed a bad ball by the referee. However, it was hit by the bat swung by hitter Takashi Fujii and flew towards the center field area.
.
"Boom!"
The baseball flying from home plate hit the center field near the right field, and there were no defenders around. Only center fielder Ittoku Tanaka was running towards here from the area near the left field.
“hits.“.
Takashi Fujii, who had successfully passed first base, saw that center fielder Ittoku Tanaka had already reached the position of the baseball. He calmly stopped and stepped back to first base on his tiptoes.
When center fielder Ittoku Tanaka bent down to pick up the baseball on the ground and waved it to his teammates, hitter Takashi Fujii had already taken off his glove at first base and was now taking off his batting gloves. This chapter has been completed!
