Looking at the baseball that was rushing from the pitcher's mound, as if it was about to hit him, the Red Sea Ohsuda Roku Shigematsu did not swing the bat in his hand at the first time, but took a small step back.
By the time Shigematsu reacted, Chris had already caught the baseball that was speeding from the pitcher's mound into his ball sleeve.
“strike.“
This was an inside corner ball that crossed the edge of the strike zone and was judged as a strike by the referee. Shigematsu could only wave the bat unwillingly and then stood up on the strike zone.
A genius transfer student, this is what others said about Yagami Yagami after he became famous in the autumn Tokyo Metropolitan Games. As a baseball idiot, Shigematsu naturally wants to have a real showdown with such a person!
What he showed was his uncompromising attitude, showing his determination to hit the baseball thrown by Yagami! Chris faced the Red Sea Osugada Rokuba who had such determination, and gave Yagami his secret code
Finally, choose to place the ball sleeve in an area with a lower inner corner.
After Yagami nodded in agreement, he raised his right leg, swung his arm, and threw a fast ball that hurtled toward home plate.
"call out!"
148km/h!
Yagami threw the fastest ball he could throw so far.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The white baseball flying from the pitcher's mound collided violently with the metal bat that swept from Shigematsu's hand, and was then hit hard by him, flying backwards towards third base.
"call out!"
Qingdao's third baseman Dong Qingkuni rushed over at a speed that was not consistent with his huge body. When the baseball hit the ground and bounced for the first time, he caught it with his ball sleeve, and then used his right hand to catch it.
He took out the baseball from his bag, swung his arm sideways, and quickly passed the baseball to first base.
Aomichi first baseman Kotaro Tojima stepped on the base bag with one foot, stepped forward as far as possible with the other foot, and caught the baseball passed from Higashi Kiyokuni from third base with the extended ball sleeve.
Before Shigematsu stepped onto the first base bag, he saw the first base umpire's right hand raised.
“out.“
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."
Yagami ran down the pitcher's mound and trotted back to the dugout with the other fielders.
"Iori," Director Kataoka suddenly stopped Yagami Yagami, a first-year pitcher who was walking into the dugout: "Are you going to leave the field after pitching the first three or four innings?"
"Ah... no." Yagami was stunned for a moment, stood on the spot, and replied honestly.
"I see that you have no intention of conserving your strength. I thought you were only going to pitch the first three or four innings?" Director Kataoka folded his hands on his chest and said with a serious expression: "As a qualified pitcher, you must learn to
Reasonably distribute physical strength during the game.”
"Yes!" Yagami replied seriously. Because he was so involved in pitching just now, he actually forgot about this one. Although he was unable to pitch in the entire final, he still had to work hard to pitch two more innings as much as possible.
At this time, reasonable distribution of physical strength during the game becomes a necessary condition.
The announcer's voice came from the radio: "In the second half of the second inning, Qingdao High School's attack, fourth baseman, Dong Qingguo."
Higashi Kiyokuni walked into the batting area with his bat, swung the bat, and after standing on the batting area, he glanced at Aomichi's rest area. Director Kataoka made a simple gesture to Higashi Kiyokuni.
After understanding the instructions from Director Kataoka, Higashi Kiyokuni raised the bat in his hand and turned to look at Red Sea Osugada's pitcher Kazuya Seda on the pitcher's mound.
Following the referee's order, Red Sea Osuda's pitcher Kazuya Seda swung his arms, stepped forward, twisted his waist, and threw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
The baseball came speeding from the pitcher's mound. Dong Qingguo quickly moved his arms and swung the metal bat in the direction of the baseball.
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
The metal bat swung by the batter collided with the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. However, the touch transmitted from the head of the metal bat made him understand that he had not hit the center of the baseball.
"call out!"
Dong Qingguo pushed the bat in his hand hard and swept the flying baseball in the direction of third base. Unfortunately, it deviated from the sideline of third base and was an obvious foul ball.
"Boom!"
Tokiyokuni vigorously swung the bat several times before regaining his stance in the batter's box. Upon seeing this, Kanemori, the catcher of Red Sea Ohsuda, gave a signal to Kazuya Kazuya, the ace of Red Sea Ohsuda.
After Kazuya Sada nodded, he raised his legs and took a long step forward, swinging his arms, and threw the baseball in his palm toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
The ball path was even lower than before, so even if Dong Qingguo's swinging bat hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, it would not result in a hit.
"The outside world!"
"Two good shots!"
"Senior Jiantian, strike out Dong Qingguo! Strike out the monster hitter!"
In the stands on the Red Sea Osugada side, members of the second and third teams of the Red Sea Osugada hardball club, who had come to support, were cheering for their ace, Kazuya Sanda.
"Captain, fight with all your strength!"
"Have a home run!"
"Senior Dong, come on!"
In the stands on the Qingdao side, the members of the second and third teams of the baseball club from Qingdao were also cheering for their four-ball Dongqing country.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"The outside world!"
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"The outside world!"
Kazuya Sanda, the ace of Red Sea Osugada, then threw two bad balls in a row, but they were all knocked out by Aomichi's four-stick Tokiyokuni.
"Captain, knock all the pitches from Sugata's ace of the Red Sea away!"
The members of the Qingdao Baseball Club waiting in the rest area were loudly cheering for the Eastern Qing Dynasty.
Red Sea Sugata catcher Kanamori gave their ace Kazuya Kazuya a secret signal that he had thought carefully about. When throwing here, the pitch must be low!
Kazuya Sada nodded and threw the baseball in his hand according to catcher Kanamori's wishes.
"call out!"
Dong Qingguo will swing the metal bat in his hand regardless of whether the ball is good or bad.
"Whoa!"
not good!
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound began to change its direction drastically before it entered the home plate area, and it collided with the bat of Dong Qingguo, causing it to hit a weak ground ball.
Red Sea Ohsuda's shortstop's legs were slightly bent, with his ball sleeve on the ground. After catching the ball in a kneeling position, he stepped forward and passed the ball to Red Sea Ohsuda's first baseman Ishiguro Hayabusa.
Red Sea Ohsuda's first baseman Ishiguro Hayabusa opened his glove to catch the baseball passed by the shortstop, then turned to look at the first base judge.
“out.“
After catching the baseball thrown back to him by Ishiguro Hayabusa, Sada Kazuya made a gesture.
"One out!"
Is the last pitch a curve ball??
"snort!"
After being struck out by Kazuya Seda, the ace of the Red Sea Osugada, Higashi Seikuni could only snort, return to home plate, pick up the bat he had just dropped, and exit the game.
