Murasuke Daiki swung the bat and hit the ball in the inside corner.
"Porphyrin!"
When first baseman Yohei Tanaka swooped toward the flying baseball, he did not catch it. Instead, he let it fall on the sand and bounce toward the base.
“retire.“
Upon seeing this, Tanaka Yohei quickly ran over and grabbed the baseball on the ground. He stretched out his right foot and stepped on the first base bag, knocking out the batter Daiki Murasuke who was running over. The first base umpire also stepped forward as the batter ran across the base.
When bagging, raise your right hand to announce that the fielding was successful and the batter was shut out.
After the first baseman Yohei Tanaka and the two teammates next to him (the second baseman and the first base instructor) high-fived each other at the end of the game, they happily left the field and ran back to the dugout on the first base side.
Of course, Murasuke Daiki, who was eliminated from the game, was also jogging back towards the dugout on the third base side to change his equipment.
…
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
The city's top seven batsman, Shuhei Ikenaga, aimed at the inside-corner ball thrown by the pitcher and swung the bat vigorously. Unfortunately, the bat he swung passed under the flying baseball. When the swing failed, the original ball path was also missed.
A high ball becomes a good ball.
“nice pitch.“
Chris took out the baseball from his holster and threw it back to Jinguji-senpai. The batter next to him was holding the bat in his right hand. He took a few deep breaths and then stood up on the batting box again.
He grabbed the bat with his left hand and shook it slightly, then held the bat tightly with both hands and leaned on his right shoulder, turning his head to look at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Ikenaga Shuhei looked down at the low pitch from the outside corner thrown by Jinguji, and when he realized that the ball path was low, he stopped his swing in time.
“bad shot.“
Chris knelt on the ground with his left leg, reached out and threw the baseball he just caught back to Jinguji-senpai.
Jinguji caught the baseball passed back to him by the catcher with a pitch cover, then hid his right hand in the cover and placed it in front of his chest. While breathing heavily, he looked at home plate, waiting for the catcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
The third pitch that Jinguji threw in with a swing of his arm was a ball in the outside corner that seemed to be a little outside. The batter Shuhei Ikenaga did not swing the bat to hit it.
"Good shot." The referee made a fist with his right hand and raised it to indicate that the pitcher threw a good ball.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a fast finger ball with a low outside corner. After the hitter Shuhei Ikenaga swung the bat in his hand, he realized that the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound fell in front of the bat and hit him directly.
The swing missed.
“strike out.“
After the referee raised his right hand and announced that he had been struck out by the pitcher, Shuhei Ikenaga could only jog back to the first base dugout with his bat in hand.
"In the first half of the eighth inning, the attack from the three major universities in the city, eight bats, right fielder, Ohara-kun."
After the batter raised his bat high and waited for a hit, Jinguji raised his legs, took a step, swung his arms, and threw the baseball in his palm toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Ohara Shinpei's swing hit Jinguji's high pitch in the inside corner, and then swept it into the stands on the third base side.
"Out of bounds!"
Ohara Shinpei walked back to the batting area with the bat in hand and stood there. He held the bat in both hands and swung it under his body. He leaned it on his shoulders and turned to stare at the pitcher on the mound. Then he raised the bat and made a gesture
Waiting for a blow.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
The batter, Shinpei Ohara, stared at the low pitch in the inside corner that flew from the bad zone to the strike zone, but did not swing the bat to hit it.
“good shot.“
When Ohara Shinpei grabbed the bat with one hand and swung it, leaning it on his shoulder, he happened to see the pitcher Jinguji squeeze the powder bag and throw it back to the sand. Seeing this, he straightened up the bat and started playing again.
Make a posture waiting for a blow.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Ohara Shinpei raised his head to avoid the baseball that seemed to be hurtling toward the batter's head. Chris stood up slightly, moved his ball sleeve up to catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
“bad shot.“
Ohara Shinpei stepped back with his right leg, held the bat with one hand and swung it in front of him, then straightened it up again, waiting for the pitcher to throw.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Ohara Shinpei bent down sharply to avoid the baseball that was thrown by Jinguji and headed straight for his calf. If there was no support from the bat below, he would probably fall down on the home plate.
As of the current goal, Jinguji-senpai's goal count has reached 145. The ball control that he finally recovered began to become chaotic again, and he must find a way to restore the senior's condition.
Chris raised his hand to throw back the baseball he just caught, while thinking about the situation on the field.
As soon as Jinguji took the baseball passed back to him by the catcher, he bent down and pinched the powder bag behind him, then raised his right hand and blew on it, returning his attention to home plate.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
The bat in Ohara Shinpei's hand swept over the flying baseball and passed by a thin line.
"Bang!"
At the same time that the batter's swing missed, catcher Chris's sleeve successfully caught the pitcher's pitch to the inside corner.
“strike out.“
After he was declared a strikeout by the referee, Ohara Shinpei trotted back to the first base dugout with his head lowered.
"In the first half of the eighth inning, attacks from three major universities in the city, nine bats, pitcher, Manaka-kun."
After Manaka stood still on the batter's box, he grabbed the bat with both hands and swung it under his body. He turned to look at the pitcher's mound and raised the bat high, waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a pitch that fell vertically from the high area of the non-strike zone to the low position of the strike zone, and was caught by catcher Chris's sleeve.
“good shot.“
After the referee raised his right hand to make a decision, Chris knelt on the ground with one leg, reached out and threw the baseball he caught back to Jinguji-senpai.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Faced with Jinguji's swinging pitch from a low inside corner, Kaname Manaka did not swing the bat to hit it.
Manaka held the bat in both hands and spun it a few times in front of him, then turned to look at the pitcher's mound, raised the bat in his hand high again, and made a gesture of waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!".
Manaka swung the bat and missed Jinguji's pitch to the outside corner. The flying baseball was hit by the bat and shot straight into the sky. Then it fell to the first base side of the field and became a foul ball.
Chris took the new baseball from the umpire, then raised his hand and waved it to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound. The umpire next to him walked to the home plate and cleared the sideline of the batting area again. This chapter has been completed!
