Chris stood up, took out the baseball from his sleeve, and threw it back to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
Shuhei Ikenaga grabbed the bat with his left hand and swung it under his body twice, then clasped it with both hands and leaned it on his shoulders, turning his head to look at the pitcher on the mound.
"call out!"
"bite!"
Hitter Shuhei Ikenaga once again held a short stick and hit the ball in the outside corner of the pitcher's swing. After he saw the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound being hit by himself, he was thinking about running towards first base.
At that time, I never imagined that the baseball would fly directly out of the infield sideline after being hit by him.
"Porphyrin!"
After first baseman Tetsuya Yuuki ran out of first base, he followed closely behind the fly ball that was thrown out of the field by the batter holding the short bat. He tried to catch the baseball before it hit the ground, but unfortunately he failed.
After the ball fell to the ground, he could only watch as the baseball landed in front of him and then bounced forward.
After Tetsuya Yuki caught the outfield fly ball from the failed batter, he immediately stood up from the outside lawn, then turned around and ran back to first base with his head lowered.
Jinguji reached out and took the new baseball thrown by the catcher, walked back to the pitcher's mound, bent down and squeezed the powder bag in front of him, then took the baseball out of the ball sleeve and turned to face home plate.
In the right batter's box at home plate, batter Shuhei Ikenaga grabbed the bat with both hands and swung it forward, turned to look at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, and then leaned the bat on his right shoulder to wait for his pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Jinguji swung his arm and threw a high-positioned ball in the outside corner. After discovering something was wrong, hitter Shuhei Ikenaga hurriedly stopped his swing and allowed catcher Chris's glove to catch the flying baseball.
Captured successfully.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
Ikenaga Shuhei swung his bat and just hit the outside corner ball thrown by the pitcher. After he hit the flying baseball, he was about to take a step towards first base and saw the ball that was hit by him.
The baseball flew over the first base sideline.
"Out of bounds!"
The baseball that flew upside down from home plate flew out of the sideline and finally fell between the right field sideline and the first base bleachers. Then it rolled out and was picked up by the chasing first baseman Tetsuya Yuki.
Ikenaga Shuhei looked up at the baseball that was knocked far away by him. The catcher Chris next to him took the new baseball handed to him from the umpire, and then raised his hand and threw it to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.
After the batter raised his bat again and waited for a hit, Jinguji followed the signal given to him by the catcher and threw the baseball in his hand toward home plate.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Chris hurriedly got up and caught Jinguji-senpai, who had problems controlling the ball, and then threw a high ball in the outside corner. When the batter Shuhei Ikenaga realized that the pitcher was throwing a bad ball, he quickly stopped swinging the bat and let himself
The metal bat was just parallel to the edge of home plate and pointed straight at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.
After receiving the baseball thrown by Jinguji-senpai, Chris immediately took the baseball out of the holster with his right hand, raised it up and swung it to second base.
"Crack!"
Second baseman Tanaka Yuuki stepped on the base bag with his right foot, opened his ball cover and grabbed the baseball that Chris swung to him, but because the referee had not yet given a ruling on whether the ball just now was a strike? Which led to his
His response and movements were a bit slow, but soon he ran over to touch Yusuke Murahashi, the runner who had stopped running and stayed where he was, out of trust in Chris.
“Base on Balls.“
As the referee made a ruling on the ball just now, the batter Shuhei Ikenaga was walked to the base. Naturally, the runner Yusuke Murahashi who was originally at first base was able to move to second base safely. In other words, there was no chance of being blocked by the opponent's defense. , that is, the possibility of a hit by second baseman Yuuki Tanaka.
As soon as Jinguji walked over to Tanaka Yuuki, he stretched out his right hand to take the baseball from his hand, then hid the caught baseball in the ball cover of his left hand, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound.
"In the first half of the tenth inning, attack from the three major universities in the city, eight bats, right fielder, Ohara-kun."
He bent down and pinched the powder bag in front of him, looked up at the runners at first and second base, then turned to face home plate, focusing on the batter Shinpei Ohara who was standing in the batter's box.
"call out!"
Jinguji turned his head and glanced at the runner Yusuke Murahashi at second base, then returned his gaze to home plate, raised his legs, stepped forward, swung his arms, and threw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
"bite!"
Hitter Ohara Shinpei held a short bat and hit a low pitch in the outside corner thrown by the pitcher. Unfortunately, he hit the bottom of the baseball. As a result, the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by him, flew up high, and then fell to the ground. The off-field area behind the three of them rolled all the way to the bottom of the home plate side bleachers.
Chris took the new baseball from the umpire and threw it to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound.
The batter Shinpei Ohara walked back to his original position and stood up again. He swept the ground in the batting area with his right leg, waved the metal bat in his left hand, then looked straight ahead, held the bat tightly with both hands and He stood it upright, then turned to look at the pitcher on the mound, waiting for Jinguji's pitch.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
After Ohara Shinpei discovered that the ball thrown by Jinguji was a low-ball outside corner, he quickly retreated the bat that was held short by him to the right, letting the baseball fly from the pitcher's mound in front of his eyes. Speeding past and into the catcher's open glove.
Jinguji reached out and took the baseball thrown to him by the catcher, turned around and walked back to the pitcher's mound to stand up again. Not far away, the batter Ohara Shinpei raised the metal bat in his hand high, turned his head and looked in the direction of the pitcher's mound, waiting. His pitching.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
Faced with a ball thrown by the pitcher that looked wide to the outside corner, Ohara Shinpei stopped trying to push the bat out and quickly retracted the short-grip bat back inside. .
Chris knelt on the ground with his left leg and took out the baseball from the sleeve, raised his hand and threw it back to Jinguji-senpai who was walking down the pitcher's mound. The batter next to him, Ohara Shinpei, held the bat in the middle with his left hand and looked up at Ichisan There is a big rest area, and I keep nodding my head.
After he stood up again in the batting area, he held the bat in his left hand and swung it by his side. Then he put his right hand on it and began to swing forward vigorously. He turned to look at Jinguji on the pitcher's mound and put the bat in his hand. The metal bat was lifted straight up.
"call out!"
"bite!"
Hitter Ohara Shinpei held the short-grip bat parallel to home plate, so that the top of the bat located in the middle area of the outside corner successfully knocked away the baseball thrown by the pitcher.
"Crack!".
After the baseball was ejected from the metal bat due to the impact, it landed directly on the lawn on the right side of the sand (batting area). Jinguji Kazuo bounced off the lawn and was run off the pitcher's mound in a crouching position. The chest and abdomen positions are firmly caught.
After Jinguji caught the baseball that bounced off the lawn, he immediately turned around, waved his arms, and passed the baseball to third base. This chapter has been completed!
