Tanaka Yuuki faced the high-center ball that Manaka was about to throw, and had no intention of swinging the bat. After the catcher caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he looked down at the ground in the batter's box.
Then he held the bat in his left hand and swung it under his body.
After Kaname Manaka wiped the sweat from his forehead, he looked at the signal given by senior Ikegaga, nodded, raised his leg, stepped forward, and swung the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
Tanaka Yuuki faced Manaka's low ball in the outside corner and swept the bat out of his hand, but the flying baseball suddenly fell in front of the bat, causing his swing to miss.
“good shot.“
After the referee raised his right hand to make a decision, he walked toward home plate. The batter Yuki Tanaka turned around and left the batter's box and walked to the edge of the sand to wait.
Manaka stretched out his hand to take the baseball passed by the catcher. After the umpire cleared the home plate and walked back to stand behind the catcher, he watched Ikenaga-senpai nod at the signal he drew, raised his leg, stepped forward, and threw the baseball.
.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
The low ball in the outside corner that was about to be thrown with an arm swing was so obvious that the hitter Yuki Tanaka had no intention of swinging the bat.
“bad shot.“
Tanaka Yuki swept the ground with his right foot, turned to look at the pitcher's mound, and swung the bat with his hands hanging down under his body. After the pitcher was ready, he raised the metal bat in his hand high, waiting for it to fly away from the pitcher's mound.
Come baseball.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
When Tanaka Yuki faced Manaka's low pitch from the outside corner with another swing, he swung the metal bat out of his hand and tried to hit the flying baseball away. Unfortunately, he failed.
The bat swept directly over the flying baseball.
"Bang!"
Shuhei Ikenaga opened his glove to catch the baseball thrown by the pitcher, and struck out the batter Yuki Tanaka.
"Retire." The referee raised his right hand to signal that the game was over in the second half of the tenth inning. The batter next to him, Tanaka Yuki, turned around and walked back to the dugout on the first base side with his bat. Of course, the top three players in the city were also there.
The spectators in the stands left the field and returned to their rest area to the rhythm of tapping the microphone.
"In the first half of the 11th inning, fielding side Seido High School. Pitcher, Yagami Yagami; catcher, Chris Yu Takigawa; first baseman, Tetsuya Yuki..." The voice of the female broadcaster echoed over the stadium again.
"Come on!"
The players gathered at the edge of the arena rushed onto the arena together after the announcement sounded.
The Qingdao players who each came to their respective defensive positions passed the ball to each other for the final warm-up before the game restarted.
"In the first half of the 11th inning, attacks from three major universities in the city, four bats, first baseman, Tanaka (Yo)-kun."
After the female broadcaster's voice sounded again, Tanaka Yohei, the city's top three and four-base baseball player, had already stepped into the batting area. He lowered his head and stepped on the ground in the batting area, and then swept it with his left foot, sweeping up a large number of balls.
Shatu turned his head to look in the direction of the pitcher's mound, held the bat in both hands and waved it briefly, then raised the bat upright, waiting for the pitcher's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Yagami swung his arm and threw a baseball that fell diagonally from the inside corner to the low outside corner. Unfortunately, because the ball was not handled well, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound changed a little slower.
The ball fell diagonally after it flew over home plate. In this case, the ball will definitely be judged as a bad ball by the referee.
Yagami opened his ball sleeve to catch the baseball that Chris passed back to him, then looked at the signal that Chris squatted down and nodded.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
Tanaka Yohei swung the bat and hit a ball in the inside corner thrown by the pitcher. The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter and flew high into the sky, heading towards the outfield and gradually moving away from him.
"Center fielder!"
When hitter Yohei Tanaka dropped his bat and ran toward first base, center fielder Daiki Murasuke was staring at the baseball flying from a distance while retreating deep into center field, near the sideline.
.
"Crack!"
When Murasuke Daiki retreated to the last two or three steps away from the sideline, he looked up at the flying baseball to predict the final landing point, then quickly took three or four steps to the right, stretched out his left hand and opened the ball sleeve to catch the ball.
of baseball.
“out.“
Tanaka Yohei, who was about to run to second base, had no choice but to turn around and run back to the dugout on the third base side after he was caught out.
"In the first half of the 11th inning, the attack from the three major universities in the city, five bats, center fielder, Tanaka (I)-kun."
Yagami reached out and took the baseball that was passed to him from Senior Murasuke to Tanaka, and then from Tanaka to him. He turned and walked back to the pitcher's mound, facing home plate and staring at Chris who was squatting behind the plate.
Tanaka Itoku stepped into the batting box, lowered his head and kicked the ground with his right foot a few times. He grabbed the bat with his left hand and did a simple spin before raising it upright. He turned to look at the pitcher's mound and waited for Yagami's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“bad shot.“
Facing the bad ball from the outside corner thrown by Yagami Yagami, Tanaka Itoku had no intention of swinging the bat to hit it.
Chris squatted on the ground and reached out to throw the baseball he just caught back to the pitcher. The batter next to him, Tanaka Itoku, first took two steps back, then walked back to the original position and stood up, holding the bat in his left hand and swinging it gently under his body.
After two clicks, he raised it upright again and turned to look at the pitcher on the mound.
"call out!"
Yagami swung his arm and threw a vertical slider that moved vertically from a high area in the non-strike zone and then dropped to a low area in the strike zone.
"Bang!"
Faced with such a ball with a relatively flat trajectory, Tanaka Itoku naturally would not swing the bat to hit it without thinking that it would turn into a strike. When he realized something was wrong, he was ready to lift himself upright.
When the bat was raised and swung down, Chris's sleeve had already firmly caught the baseball thrown by the pitcher.
“good shot.“
After the referee raised his right hand to make the ruling, Chris stood up, took out the baseball from the holster, raised his hand and threw it back to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami raised his left hand to grab the baseball that Chris passed back to him, took two steps back, bent down and pinched the magnesium powder bag next to him, then turned around and looked at the situation in the outfield, took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
After that, he turned back again, twisted his neck, looked at the signal that Chris was squatting behind the plate, and nodded.
"call out!".
"Crack!"
Iori Yagami originally followed Chris's request to throw a fast straight ball from a low outside corner, but he didn't handle the ball well when he threw it because the ball path was low and too fast.
So much so that it landed directly on the sand, and then bounced off the sand before being caught by Chris's downward-opening ball sleeve. This chapter has been completed!
