After a good ball and a bad ball, Yamamoto Naoya moved his hands tightly gripping the bat. Sure enough, as the ball speed increased, Aido pitcher Yagami Yagami's ball control would also become worse.
After Kentaro Matsuda took out the baseball from his holster and threw it to Yagami Yagami, he made another downward movement and then gave a new signal.
"call out!"
The pitch that Yagami re-thrown has a high probability of passing through the strike zone! After making his own judgment, Naoya Yamamoto vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
The metal bat swept by Naoya Yamamoto met the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound above home plate.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Yamamoto Naoya missed the center of the ball, and the baseball flew straight to the third base sideline after being hit by him.
After swinging the bat, Yamamoto Naoya stood up on the batting box again, raised the metal bat in his hand, and made a gesture of preparing to hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
“strike out.“
Amidst the referee's decision, Yamamoto Naoya had no choice but to walk out of the batting area with his bat and jog back to the Kansai dugout.
Ippei Yasui, the Kansai third batsman, walked into the batting box, swung the bat, and stood in a posture waiting for a hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Facing the baseball pitched by Yagami Yasui, Ippei Yasui immediately swung his bat and swept the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound away.
"call out!"
Soon, the baseball thrown by Yagami Yagami from the pitcher's mound flew towards home plate. Ippei Yasui stared closely at the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and vigorously swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound collided with the bat swung by Yasui Ippei, and flew backwards quickly. After avoiding the interception of Aomichi's second baseman and first baseman, it rushed directly through the infield area and landed in the right field.
The ball bounced on the turf a few times and rolled around a few times before it was put into the ball cover by right fielder Hiroshi Ohta.
Ippei Yasui immediately dropped the bat in his hand and rushed toward first base. When he ran to first base, Aomichi's right fielder Hiroshi Ohta passed the baseball to first base.
“safe.“
When Kansai's top four player Ueda Kaishi stepped onto the field, the atmosphere at the scene became even more enthusiastic, especially the support from Kansai.
Takeshi Ueda stood on the batter's box and waved the metal bat in his hand, making a "whooshing" sound, which made Seido catcher Kentaro Matsuda involuntarily fearful.
Yagami, you must throw the ball here! Kentaro Matsuda gave the signal to Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound, then opened and set up the ball sleeve.
Yagami nodded in agreement. After all, he was also wary of Ueda Takeshi. He raised his legs and stepped forward, swinging his arms and throwing the baseball out of his palm.
"call out!"
Takeshi Ueda looked at the somewhat low pitch of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound without swinging the bat in his hand.
"Bang!"
“ball.“
The ball flew past the edge of the strike zone and was deemed a ball by the referee.
Kenyōro Matsuda stood up and took out the baseball from his holster and passed it back to Yagami. After squatting down again, he looked at Takeshi Ueda in front of him, and then gave the signal to Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
Yagami nodded, stepped forward, waved his arms, and threw the baseball in his palm with all his strength.
"call out!"
The baseball flew out of the pitcher's mound like a white light and headed straight for home plate.
Takeshi Ueda stared closely at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. The metal bat he had previously raised was waved down with great force.
"Whoosh!"
The bat swung by the batter swept out an afterimage above the home plate, and then collided violently with the baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound.
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by Kansai batter Takeshi Ueda and quickly flew backwards toward left field.
"Oh...it was hit! Could this be Ueda-kun's first home run in this tournament...Oh! What a pity, it was caught by Aomichi's left fielder!"
"Aomichi's left fielder Fujii-kun caught the baseball that was about to fly near the outfield fence!"
After Tsuyoshi Ueda, who was running the bases, saw that the baseball he hit was caught by Aomichi's left fielder, he could only stop running and returned to the dugout with the runner on base, Yasui Ippei.
Taro Fukuda put on his protective gear, picked up his bat, walked out of the dugout, waved to everyone, and walked to the batting area on the field.
"Senior Fukuda, come on!"
"Taro, come on!"
"Futian, call me out!"
In the second half of the first game, it was Qingdao's turn to attack.
…
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
The baseball draws a beautiful curve in mid-air,
It passed through the infield area between third base and second base, hit the left field, and bounced a few times.
Kotaro Tojima, the third bat of Aomichi, immediately dropped the bat in his hand, ran all the way, and successfully reached first base.
"With two outs and a man on first base, Aomichi's three-ball Toshima-kun hits a single, followed by four-bat Toshima-kun. Can he continue Aomichi's hitting line?"
Kansai catcher Obara looked at Higashi Seikuni who was standing in the batter's box. After giving his signal to pitcher Dasby, he also waved to other fielders to move forward to defend.
Das raised his arms high, stepped forward, then moved his arms and threw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
The baseball shot straight off the pitcher's mound and headed toward home plate.
"Whoosh!"
Dong Qingguo's metal bat was preparing to sweep across the entire home plate area, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound crossed over the home plate, creating a wave of wind pressure.
"Bang!"
Kansai catcher Obara stood up and took out a baseball from his holster and passed it back to Kansai ace Das. He squatted down again and gave a new signal.
Das on the pitcher's mound nodded, followed the signal given to him by catcher Obara, and swung his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Dong Qingguo waved the metal bat in his hand again.
"Whoosh!"
The metal bat that Dong Qingguo swung with great force hit the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, knocking it away.
"Ping!"
After the baseball was hit, it flew backwards from home plate toward the left field. After avoiding the interception of Kansai shortstop Naoto Araki, it landed in the infield and bounced several times and successfully rolled into the left field area.
Because Kansai catcher Obara had asked other fielders to move forward to defend, Kansai left fielder Nao Satoshi Sugiyama only jogged a few steps and successfully picked up the baseball that was still rolling on the lawn, ignoring the fact that he was about to run into the second ball.
Aido runner Kotaro Tojima turned around and threw the baseball in his hand towards first base.
Kansai first baseman Ippei Yasui put one foot on the first base bag and put his other foot out to catch a pass from left fielder Nao Satoshi Sugiyama.
"Crack!"
“out.“
Ippei Yasui was ahead of Seido's Higashi Kiyoshi, and received a pass from Sugiyama Naotoshi. The first base umpire raised his arm to signal that Seido's four-base batter was out.
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense.".
Dong Qingguo, who returned to the rest area, put on his ball cap, picked up his ball cover and walked out of the rest area, shouting to others: "Let's go!"
"Oh! Oh! Oh!!!" The other eight people also shouted excitedly and rushed onto the field. This chapter has been completed!
