Chapter 212 Qingdao vs. City's Three Majors (Thirty-two)
Just as the audience in the stands was excited about the outstanding performance of the three top players in the city, Isashiki Jun stood up and left the waiting area and walked towards the batting box at home plate.
"In the bottom half of the ninth inning, Seido High School's attack, seven bats, right fielder, Isashiki-kun."
After Jun Isashiki stood in the batting area, he stretched out his hand to straighten his belt, then took the bat with one hand and swung it. After sweeping the ground with his left foot, he held the bat against his shoulders with both hands tightly and turned his head to look.
To the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
After everything is ready, Manaka will lift his legs, swing his arms, and throw a crossbow toward home plate.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Jun Isashiki swung his bat and hit the fork in the inside corner. Then he looked up at the baseball that was knocked away by him, dropped the bat in his hand and ran towards first base.
"Crack!"
Right fielder Ohara Shinpei stayed in deep right field while running, looking up at the baseball flying from home plate. Finally, when he ran to the sideline, he opened the ball sleeve and put it on his chest to catch the falling baseball.
“retire.“
In the second half of the ninth inning, Aomichi's offense ended with only three remaining bases as batter Jun Isashiki was thrown out.
"What a great game!"
"Yes!" The on-site broadcaster took over the conversation and continued: "The overtime of this final is about to begin. Let us wait and see the subsequent performance of the players on the field."
In the first half of the tenth inning, Jinguji stepped onto the pitcher's mound, bent down and pinched the powder bag next to him, then looked up at home plate, holding the baseball in his left hand and hiding it in the ball cover of his right hand, and put his hands on it.
chest, then start warming up with the catcher's pitches.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"call out!"
"Bang!"
After simply throwing two balls to warm up, the voice of the female announcer rang: "In the first half of the tenth inning, attack from the three major universities in the city, six bats, substitute hitter, Murahashi-kun."
After Yusuke Murahashi stood on the left batter's box, he held the bat with both hands and swung it vigorously, then turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, and straightened the bat.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a bad ball high inside the corner. Yusuke Murahashi still held the bat high and had no intention of swinging the bat.
Yusuke Murahashi looked down at the ground, stepped on it, grabbed the bat with his right hand and swung it, looked up at the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, held the bat tightly with both hands, shook it forward and then straightened it up.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with a low pitch in the inside corner thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm, Murahashi Yusuke kicked off his original position with his right foot to avoid the baseball flying towards him from the pitcher's mound.
“good shot.“
After the catcher moved his glove to catch the baseball thrown by the pitcher, the referee raised his right hand to indicate that the ball was a strike.
Yusuke Murahashi walked back to his previous position, stood up, held the bat in both hands and spun it twice in front of him. While turning his head to look at the pitcher's mound, he also straightened the bat again.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
After Yusuke Murahashi aimed at the baseball thrown by the pitcher, he swung the bat in his hand vigorously and knocked the high-center ball thrown by Jinguji into the air.
When Yusuke Murahashi turned around and prepared to sprint to first base, he glanced at the baseball that was about to land in the infield, then dropped the bat in his hand and ran out.
"Crack!"
The baseball flying from home plate landed on the infield turf in front of the second base sand (left) side and began to bounce toward the outfield.
"Porphyrin!"
The baseball just bounced twice on the infield lawn after landing, and the second baseman running back to defend was already flying towards it. Unfortunately, Tanaka Yuki's speed was still a little slow after all, and he waited until the baseball completed its third bounce. At the time, he flew directly to the previous position, and then fell to the ground, and the ball sleeve that stretched upward did not catch the baseball that was about to jump from above.
After evading the interception of second baseman Tanaka Yuuki, the baseball bounced all the way into the outfield lawn, and then was picked up by running right fielder Jun Isashiki in a crouching position.
When Yusuke Murahashi ran past first base and saw that the right fielder was about to reach out to catch the bouncing baseball, he immediately stopped running forward. As soon as he looked at the situation at the right fielder, he stepped back. A base is returned to first base.
"In the first half of the tenth inning, attacks from the city's three major universities, seven bats, catcher, Chi Yongjun."
Yusuke Murahashi stepped on the first base bag with one foot, handed the removed glove to the player who came to get something, and high-fived him. After that, he put his hands on his hips and smiled. Look toward home plate.
Jinguji bent down and pinched the magnesium powder packet in front of him. He straightened up and raised his hand to blow the powder on it. He took out the baseball from the ball cover with his right hand and carried it behind his back. Then he faced home plate and watched the situation there. .
At home plate at this time, batter Shuhei Ikenaga stood on the right batting box with his hands hanging down, gripping the bat and swinging it, then turned to look at the pitcher's mound, and leaned the bat on his left shoulder to wait for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Crack!"
Jinguji Kazu did not follow the catcher's instructions to throw the ball to home plate. Instead, he turned around and threw the baseball in his hand toward first base. Unfortunately, it did not have any impact on the runner.
"call out!"
"bite!"
Ikenaga Shuhei held a short stick and hit the outside corner ball thrown by the pitcher. Unfortunately, just when he was about to drop the bat and run to first base, the baseball he hit landed outside the infield sideline. Then first baseman Yuuki Tetsuya bent over and grabbed him.
"Foul ball!" The referee raised his hands and spread them upward, indicating to the batter that the ball hit was a foul ball.
After Shuhei Ikenaga regained his original position, he held the bat with both hands and swung it vigorously. Pitcher Jinguji not far away received the pass from the first baseman and immediately walked back to the pitcher's mound to stand still.
When Jinguji saw Ikenaga holding the bat upright and waiting for a hit, he raised his legs and took a step forward. Following the signal given to him by the catcher, he threw the baseball in his hand toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with such an outside ball that flew over the strike zone, Chris stood up slightly and moved his ball sleeve up, and then caught the baseball thrown by Jinguji-senpai in time.
“bad shot.“
Chris took out the baseball from his sleeve, raised his hand and passed it back to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
After that, Ikenaga Shuhei grabbed the bat with his left hand and swung it lightly, then held the bat tightly with both hands and leaned it on his left shoulder, turned his head to look at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, and then waited for the pitcher to prepare to pitch. He raised the bat upright again.
"call out!"
"Crack!".
When Ikenaga Shuhei continued to hold the short stick and prepared to hit the outside corner ball thrown by Jinguji again, he found that the ball he threw with his arm was a low ball with a shady path and missed the ball. At the same time, he also asked Qingdao's catcher Chris to quickly move his ball cover and just catch the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
