Kansai's top runner Masaki Nakamura successfully sent the third base runner Shota Kadoda back to home plate with a single to score, until Kansai's ace and top 8-bat Das was hit by Jinguji Kazuichi.
The player was knocked out, thus ending the game in the seventh inning.
"It seems that Qingdao's ace was still affected by the home run just now."
Jingujiichi is not as nervous and impatient as others imagined.
Kansai's hitters must have studied how to defeat Seido's ace. This is a normal thing among various teams. Seido is also studying Kansai's players, and Kansai's defense and line play are both
Otherwise, in the first half of the seventh inning, even if Hiroshi Ohta was lucky enough, he would not have been able to hit a triple to help them score three points in a row.
To the spectators in the stands, Jingujiichi, who had just been hit by Takeshi Ueda for a home run, seemed to have regained his feeling, and his baseball pitches became sharper. With the cooperation of the fielding players, he won the eighth inning.
Three outs in the second half fixed the score between the two sides at 6:4.
The first half of the ninth inning ended after four-batter Higashi Kiyokuni hit a pitch from Kansai's ace Das and was caught. The following half of the ninth inning was Kansai's offensive time.
Jingujiichi trotted onto the field with his ball cover, took the baseball thrown by the referee, turned it in his hand, and looked at the catcher Kentaro Matsuda who was already squatting behind the home plate.
Kentaro Matsuda looked at Naoto Araki, the Kansai bat in front of him, and gave a signal to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound.
After seeing the signal given by Kentaro Matsuda, Jingujiichi nodded, raised his right hand high, raised his leg, stepped forward, waved his arm and threw the baseball in his palm towards the home plate.
"call out!"
Naoto Araki vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The swing was a little slower, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound quickly flew across the strike zone and penetrated into Kentaro Matsuda's open sleeve.
"Bang!"
Kentaro Matsuda stood up, took out the baseball from his holster and passed it back to Jinguji Kazu. He squatted down again and gave him the signal again.
"call out!"
The second pitch thrown by Jingujiichi on the pitcher's mound flew toward home plate again, and Naoto Araki quickly swung the bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
Although Naoto Araki's swinging bat hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, it was not hit properly. The bat only hit the bottom of the flying baseball and then knocked the baseball away.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Seido's first baseman Tetsuya Yuki chased the ball a few steps and found that it had hit the foul ball outside the first base sideline. He immediately turned around and returned to first base.
Jingujiichi took the baseball thrown to him by the referee, and then followed the signal given by the catcher Matsuda, raised his legs and stepped forward, leaned forward, waved his arms and threw the ball out of his palm.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Naoto Araki still swung the bat as soon as the ball came from the pitcher's mound and hit the flying baseball out of bounds.
Seido catcher Kentaro Matsuda thought carefully before giving a signal to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, and then moved out again.
After Jinguji nodded in agreement, he followed the code given to him by Kentaro Matsuda and swung his arm to throw the white baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
The slider's path was too far away from the strike zone and it was impossible to trick Naoto Araki into swinging the bat. Kentaro Matsuda moved in again and gave a signal.
On the pitcher's mound, Jinguji looked at Kentaro Matsuda's sleeve stuck on the edge of the strike zone. He always felt that if the ball was thrown, it would be judged as a ball by the referee, but he still followed the signal given to him by the catcher and swung it.
The arm throws the baseball.
"call out!"
Naoto Araki stepped forward and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his strength.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball that was speeding towards the pitcher's mound met the metal bat that Nao Araki was swinging at home plate, and there was a violent collision.
"Ping!"
Naoto Araki looked at the baseball that flew straight into the sky after being hit by his own swing, and immediately dropped the bat in his hand and started running the bases.
The baseball that flew upside down from home plate landed in the infield area first, then bounced and flew towards the left field area.
Seido's third baseman Higashi Kiyokuni and shortstop Fukuda Taro both caught up, but failed to stop the baseball flying from home plate. It rolled smoothly into the left field area, and left fielder Fujii Takashi picked it up and it was still on the ground.
The rolling baseball turned and passed in the direction of first base.
First baseman Tetsuya Yuki stepped on the first base bag with one foot and stretched his other foot forward as far as possible to catch the baseball passed to him by Fujii-senpai. Unfortunately, Naoto Araki slid the base first and put him on base.
success.
“safe.“
The first base umpire spread his hands, signaling for the Kansai batter to get on base safely. After Tetsuya Yuki caught the baseball passed to him by Fujii-senpai, he passed it to Jinguji-senpai on the pitcher's mound. Next to him was
Naoto Araki stood up and patted the dirt on his body, then began to take off his protective gear.
Kansai left fielder and second-stringer Nao Satoshi Sugiyama came on next. As soon as he came on the field, he made a move to announce a bunt.
Jinguji hit two shots in a row, but Nao Satoshi Sugiyama failed to hit the ball well.
Naoto Araki at first base took a few steps away from the base bag to try to see if he could successfully steal the base. Jinguji turned his head and looked at him, then threw a diversionary ball to force him back to first base.
Kentaro Matsuda looked at Nao Satoshi Sugiyama, who was still making bunt moves, and signaled his signal to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, then moved outward and opened the ball sleeve in his hand. Jinguji nodded in agreement.
, raised his hand, waved his arm, threw the baseball in his palm, and immediately ran off the pitcher's mound.
Unexpectedly, Nao Satoshi Sugiyama still chose to block the obviously bad ball thrown by Jinguji with the bat in his hand. You can see that the baseball bounced on the ground and began to roll towards the first base; Sugiyama
Seeing this, Nao Satoshi immediately dropped the bat in his hand and started sprinting towards first base. Kansai runner Naoto Araki at first base was also sprinting towards second base at the same time.
Jinguji quickly caught up with the rolling baseball. As soon as he picked it up, he turned around to look at the white situation on second base. After knowing that he could not hit Naoto Araki in time even if he passed the baseball in his hand, he immediately turned around.
Pass the baseball to first base.
"Crack!"
Yuki Tetsuya's outstretched ball sleeve caught the baseball passed to him by Jinguji-senpai, and blocked Sugiyama Nao Satoshi from running the base.
“out.“
The situation on the field is now one out and there is someone on second base...
Jinguji first looked back at Kansai runner Naoto Araki at second base, then turned to look at the signal signal sent by Kentaro Matsuda, and shook his head.
Kentaro Matsuda could only signal again, and Jingujiichi on the pitcher's mound nodded in agreement.
