On the pitcher's mound, Seido pitcher Jinguji Kazuo's face turned ugly. He knew very well that the fast straight ball he had just thrown was pretty good, but it was easily knocked out by the Yokohama batter.
Seido catcher Kentaro Matsuda asked the referee for a timeout and ran onto the pitcher's mound.
"Jinguji, it's just one hit from Yokohama's three bats. Just take care of all the batters behind him." Kentaro Matsuda ran up to the pitcher's mound and said to Jinguji.
Jinguji nodded and responded: "I'm fine, I won't let them fight anymore."
Kentaro Matsuda saw that Jinguji Kazuichi's expression was not bad, so he nodded, ran off the pitcher's mound and returned to the back of home plate.
After the timeout, Yokohama's fourth batsman stood in the batter's box and raised his bat to wait for the pitcher's pitch. Yokohama runner Tomaki Furujo at first base kept stamping his feet to interfere with Aido's ace Jinguji Ichi.
.
Jinguji turned his head and looked at Furujo Tomaki several times at first base. Kentaro Matsuda had to punch the ball cover several times with his right hand before he regained Jinguji's attention and swung his arm to throw the ball.
in baseball.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Kentaro Matsuda stood up as soon as he caught the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, raising his arms in preparation for a pass to first base.
Because Kentaro Matsuda was preparing to pass the ball, Tomaki Furujo, who was a certain distance away from the base, pounced back immediately, but found that the opponent did not actually pass the ball to first base.
Kentaro Matsuda threw the baseball in his hand back to Jinguji Kazu on the pitcher's mound, and gestured to him, "I will keep an eye on the runner, you just need to concentrate on pitching."
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Kentaro Matsuda moved his whole body inward, signaled to Jinguji on the pitcher's mound, and then placed the ball sleeve close to the batter's knee.
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
As the bat swung by the batter collided violently with the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, the baseball thrown by Jinguji was once again hit hard by the Yokohama batter.
After the baseball was hit by the sewer water, it did not hit the lawn until it flew into the left field area. Although Aomichi's left fielder Tanaka Yuki turned around and passed the baseball to the second player as soon as he picked it up.
Unfortunately, it was a little late, and Shiliu Aang ran to second base first. The runner, Tomaki Furujo, took the opportunity to run to third base.
…
"call out!"
"Whoa!"
"Ping!"
There was a crisp sound, and the baseball thrown by Jinguji with a swing of his arm was once again knocked out by Yokohama's five-hitter Kenji Sato.
Jinguji turned around and looked at the baseball that was flying further and further away after being hit. His pitch was unexpectedly defeated by the opponent so easily.
Although Seido's center fielder Daiki Murasuke immediately picked up the baseball that was still rolling on the ground, he swung his arm and passed it to the home plate. Unfortunately, he was still a step too late, and Furujo Tomaki ran back to the home plate first.
Lost another point.
In the rest area of Yokohama, all Yokohama players high-fived each other to celebrate, and their supervisor Watanabe was also very happy.
In the end, Jinguji lost three points in a row before getting three outs in the game, ending the third game.
Yokohama's ace Ken Kawakaku took the pitcher's glove and walked to the pitcher's mound with his head down and stepped on the soil under his feet. Then he looked at the rest area on the Aomi Road and saw Higashikata putting on protective gear for himself.
Ken Kawakaku withdrew his gaze. As an excellent pitcher, he could feel that Seido's hitters were constantly adapting to his own pitches, just like their batters were quickly adapting to Seido's ace's pitches.
Wait a minute, you must continue to suppress the opponent's offense in this fight.
With this idea in mind, Ken Kawakaku used a lob to knock out Aomichi's third batsman Tanaka Yuki, and then ushered in Aomichi's fourth batsman, monster hitter Higashi Seikuni.
After walking into the batting area, Higashikata first smoothed the ground with his feet, then moved his arms, waved the bat in his hand, then raised the bat high and turned to look at Yokohama ace Ken Kawakaku on the pitcher's mound.
Pretend to be struck.
The first ball was a fast straight ball from the outside corner.
"call out!"
Dong Qingguo looked at the baseball flying towards the outside corner, which might be judged as good or bad by the referee. He hesitated for a moment, and the ball flying from the pitcher's mound had already passed in front of his eyes.
"Bang!"
"Bad ball!"
After Ken Kawakaku caught the baseball passed by catcher Nagashima Fukuda, he followed the signal given to him by Nagashima Fukuda, waved his arm and threw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
After Dong Qingguo clearly saw the path of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, he waved his arms and pushed out the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoa!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound met the bat swung by Dong Qingguo above the home plate, and there was a fierce collision.
"Ping!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound was hit by the batter and flew backwards toward center field.
"Center fielder!"
Yokohama catcher Nagasho Fukuda, who was behind home plate, changed his expression greatly, stood up quickly, and shouted in the direction of center field.
In the end, the baseball that flew straight into the sky after being hit by Dong Qingguo flew through the infield and outfield areas, and then began to lower its height until it approached the stands. It hit the center field fence and turned into a double hit.
"This is a field double! Qingdao's four-bat Dong Qingguo has used it to run to second base. What a pity! It was almost a home run."
He was followed closely by Aomichi Gobi Murasuke Daiki. As soon as he came on the field, he took advantage of Kawakaku Ken's state and was affected by Higashi Kiyokuni's double hit. He knocked out a single from Kawakaku Ken's hand and succeeded in his own success.
When he reached first base, he also sent Dong Qingguo to third base.
After trying four balls, Tofujii, the Aomi six-bat player behind Murasuke Daiki, found it difficult to get a hit from Yokohama Kawakaku Ken's hand. He still held up the bat in a posture of waiting for a hit, waiting for Kawakaku Ken to hit it.
The moment the ball was thrown, he immediately changed the way he held the bat and used the strike to point the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound toward first base.
Dong Qingguo immediately started running and rushed back to home base as fast as possible.
Ken Kawakaku ran down from the pitcher's mound. While picking up the baseball, he heard the umpire's signal that runner Higashi Kiyokuni successfully ran back to home plate and scored Seido's first run of the game. He no longer hesitated to put the baseball in his hands.
baseball passed to first base.
“out.“.
The first base umpire raised his arm to Takashi Fujii who was running the base, signaling that the batter was out.
Kotaro Tojima rushed forward a few more steps, then turned around and ran back to home base. He took his bat from Higashi Kiyokuni's hand and trotted off the field with him. This chapter has been completed!
