The wind pressure caused by the metal bat sweeping over home plate shocked the Kamiko Academy catcher, and he couldn't help but worry that if there was something wrong with the ball thrown by Nagai, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Bang!"
The accident did not happen after all. Tanaka Yuuki missed the swing as he expected, and the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was caught by him at a low angle.
“strike.“
Yuuki Tanaka swung the bat and stood up again. The catcher of Kamiko Academy dared to ask the pitcher for a ball on the first pitch, causing him to deceive him into a strike count.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
The second ball was still an outside corner ball that flew from the pitcher's mound close to the edge of the strike zone. Tanaka Yuki still swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously and knocked the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound away.
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
After the second strike, Yuki Tanaka was in the unfavorable situation of being struck out by the opponent.
"call out!"
The third ball flew from the pitcher's mound again, and it was a low ball like the first ball. Tanaka Yuki decided to let the baseball flying from the pitcher fly freely in front of his eyes.
"Bang!"
The catcher at Kamiko Academy saw that since he could no longer trick Yuki Tanaka into swinging the bat, he had no choice but to come up with a new code.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
After Yuki Tanaka hit a long hit to right field, while he advanced to first base, he also allowed runner Taro Fukuda to advance to second base.
Kotaro Tojima, the Aomichi Sanbat, held the bat with one hand and stood on the batting box waiting for Samishigang Academy's timeout to end.
After swinging the bat, Kotaro Tojima turned his head and looked at Aomichi's rest area. After receiving instructions from Director Kataoka, he moved his neck, stood up on the batting area again, and assumed a posture waiting for a hit.
Although Kamiko Gakuen's pitcher Nagai was comforted by their catcher and other fielders, unfortunately his mentality did not adjust, and Tojima Kotaro was walked directly by him.
When Tokiyokuni walked onto the field with his bat, Kamiko Academy asked the referee for a timeout again.
With one out and the bases loaded, you can hit a hit or a long hit. What should Kamiko Academy do with its defense?
Dong Qingguo took a look at Qingdao's rest area. Supervisor Kataoka didn't give any instructions and seemed to let him play freely.
Then let's hit the ball! After Higashi Kiyokuni made his decision, he swung his bat, and after the Kamiko Academy catcher ran back to home plate, he stood on the batting box, waiting for a hit.
.
Dong Qingguo missed the first pitch that Yin showed to be a bad ball, and then swung his bat vigorously at the second pitch thrown by Nagai.
"Ping!"
Dong Qingguo saw the baseball being knocked away by him, passing through the interception of the second baseman and shortstop, and flying from the infield to center field. He immediately dropped the bat in his hand and started running the bases.
Taro Fukuda, Yuki Tanaka and Kotaro Tojima, who had already left the base and were waiting, started running even faster than him.
When Dong Qingguo ran to first base, the running instructor was still shouting at him: "Continue!"
So Higashikata rushed towards second base again. At the same time, Taro Fukuda and Yuki Tanaka rushed back to home base.
After the center fielder of Kamiko Academy put the baseball into his holster, he found that it was too late to stop Taro Fukuda and Yuki Tanaka from running back to home plate to score. He could only turn around and pass the ball to third base. After all, only Tojima could be blocked now.
Kotaro and the Eastern Qing Dynasty.
After receiving the pass from the center fielder, the third baseman of Kamiko Academy successfully blocked Kotaro Tojima who was outside the base. When he passed the ball to second base, Higashi Seikuni had already run up to second base.
base.
"Double hit, Aomi Hiroto-kun got a double with two RBIs. The score between the two sides is now 8:3. Kamiko Academy still has one out to end the game."
Kamiko Gakuen asked the referee for another timeout, but this time the fielders no longer went to the pitcher's mound to comfort the pitcher, but directly changed pitches. Nagai came off the field, and Fukuzumi came on as the new pitcher.
Higashi Kiyokuni stood next to the second base bag, with his hands on his hips, waiting for the new pitcher from Kamiko Academy to warm up.
Although the scores between the two sides are already five points apart, he still hopes to score another point for Qingdao.
After the timeout, Fukuzumi struggled with Daiki Aomichi Gobi Murasuke for six balls, and then used a drop ball to catch him out, winning Kamiko Gakuen's last out of the inning.
Count, leaving Dong Qingguo as the remaining base to end the seventh inning.
The next two games did not have much twists and turns. Just as he said, Yu Sakai held the game in the first half of the eighth and ninth inning; in the second half of the eighth inning, Kamiko Academy pitcher Fukuizumi Zai
Under Dao's powerful offensive, they lost another point.
After three rounds of battles, Seido vs. Kamiko Academy, Seido finally won with a score of 9:3.
"present!"
The contestants from Seido and Kamiko Academy lined up, bowed to each other, and shook hands one by one.
The players from Kamiko Academy stepped aside and watched the players from Seido standing in front of home plate, singing Seido's school song along with the music playing, with expressions of envy and painful tears.
Their journey in Koshien ended at this moment.
After everyone in Seido returned to the rest area, they quickly packed up their backpacks and golf equipment. The next game will start soon, and players from Gifu Castle North will use this place soon.
After packing up the items they brought, everyone in Qingdao lined up to greet the reporters, and then walked into the exit passage with Director Kataoka.
Everyone in Seido returned to the school bus, put away their backpacks and golf equipment, and then re-entered the Hanshin Koshien Stadium from the spectator entrance and walked into the stands to watch the next match between Yokohama and Gifu Johoku.
There was no upset or surprise in the result of the game. Yokohama defeated Gifu Johoku with a score of 12:4 and will compete with Aomichi for a spot in the finals two days later on April 3.
In the other half of the area, the quarter-final match between Red Sea Osugada and Kiyomasa (here it is Kiyoho) that everyone in Seido is paying attention to is the first game on a cloudy day.

After dinner, Director Kataoka called everyone from Qingdao together for a meeting. After commenting on today's game, he talked about the opponents in the semi-finals.
"Everyone knows that the opponent for the next game is Yokohama." Director Kataoka crossed his arms and stood in front of everyone: "Everyone should take a good look at the video of their game in Koshien, learn more about the opponent, and be familiar with their skills.
Defend and strike.”.
"Yes!" Everyone in Qingdao replied loudly.
Like Aomichi, Yokohama has a strong batting line that is known as the national level, and it also has ace pitcher Ken Kawakaku who is more powerful than Jingujiichi. It is a stronger opponent than Kansai and a truly formidable enemy.
