"call out!"
"Bang!"

"call out!"
"bite!"
Chris held the short bat and hit the pitch in the outside corner, then immediately dropped the baseball and ran towards first base.

"Crack!"
First baseman Yohei Tanaka opened his sleeve to catch the baseball passed by the pitcher. At this time, batter Chris stepped over the first base bag. Of course, behind him, runner Takashi Fujii had already successfully ran back to home plate to score.

After the timeout, Shuhei Ikenaga ran back to home plate, put on his protective gear, squatted down and gave his signal to the pitcher on the mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“good shot.“
After catcher Shuhei Ikenaga caught the baseball thrown by the pitcher with his glove without any hindrance, the referee raised his right hand and judged the pitch in the inside corner that Manaka was about to throw with his arm as a strike.
