Iori Yagami ran down the pitcher's mound, caught the baseball flying from home plate, and successfully knocked out Yokohama's second pitcher Takahama Takuya, followed by Yokohama's third pitcher Tomaki Furujo.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
"strike "
Faced with Yagami Yagami's first pitch on the mound, Tomaki Furujo's swing failed.
"call out!"
Facing the second ball thrown by Yagami Yagami, Furujo Tomaki still waved the bat in his hand without hesitation.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball speeding from the pitcher's mound and the bat swung by Furujo Tomaki collided above the home plate.
"Ping!"
Although Tomaki Furujo missed the center of the ball, the baseball still flew backwards and toward the area between the third baseman and the shortstop after being hit.
"Shortstop, third baseman!"
Kentaro Matsuda, who was behind home plate, immediately stood up and shouted to third baseman Jinguji Kazu and shortstop Taro Fukuda.
Iori Yagami also turned his head and looked at the baseball flying over his head and quickly moving away.
After evading the interception of shortstop Taro Fukuda, the baseball hit the infield and was pocketed by third baseman Jinguji who was rushing over.
Jinguji took out the baseball from his holster and turned around to pass it to first base. Unfortunately, he was a little slow and Tomoaki Furuchi succeeded in sliding the ball first.
Coming up behind Kojo Chiaki is Yokohama Shibaishui Shuangang.
Xiu Shuang stood on the batting box with an expression of "I want to hit the ball", raised the bat and waited for the hit.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
…
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"Out of bounds!"
Three balls in a row, no matter whether Yagami threw a good ball or a bad ball, they were all knocked out by Shiliu Aang.
Two strikes and one out. As long as it is not a bad ball, Yokohama's four bats must swing. Next, as long as they don't let him hit the ball, they can strike him out. Matsuda Kentaro will hit the ball.
His level of fear is not as high as Yagami's.
Standing on the pitcher's mound, Iori Yagami glanced at the running water on the batter's box, raised his arms high, stepped forward, twisted his waist and abdomen, and swung his left hand.
"call out!"
The white baseball was like a flash of white light, shooting out from the pitcher's mound and rushing straight towards home plate.
Xiu Shui'ang's eyes lit up and he swung the bat in his hand with all his strength.
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
The swinging bat met the speeding baseball at the top of home plate, and the baseball was hit and flew backwards at high speed toward right field.
Kojo Chiming, who was at first base, immediately started running after his baseball was hit by Shiliu Shuang, who also quickly dropped the bat in his hand and ran towards first base.
Aomichi's right fielder Takashi Fujii chased the baseball that flew deep into the right field, but unfortunately he missed a little. The baseball did not start to lower until it approached the right field fence, and finally hit the right field fence. Fujii
Gui ran up and picked up the baseball on the ground, turned around and passed it to second base.
“safe.“
Unfortunately, when second baseman Tetsuya Yuuki caught Jinguji-senpai's pass, the Yokohama batter jumped forward and took the lead in touching the second base bag. Yokohama runner Tomaki Furujo was at first base.
He also successfully ran to third base.
…
"call out!"
The baseball hit the pitcher's mound.
"Whoosh!"
The baseball flying from the pitcher's mound and the bat swinging from the batter met perfectly above the plate.
"Ping!"
After being hit, the baseball flew backwards and rushed toward center field.
"Center fielder!"
Finally, the baseball flew high into the air above the infield and outfield, and landed on the center field fence pole.
"Oh, what a shame, it was almost a home run."
"2 points, five-ball right fielder Kenye Sato's double hit, allowing Yokohama to score another 2 points. The score between the two sides is now 1:7, and Yokohama is leading by a large margin!"
On the field, Qingdao once again asked the referee for a timeout.
"Iori!"
The infield players gathered around the pitcher's mound and shouted to Yagami Yagami, who looked very ugly because he was hit by Yokohama's batter two doubles in a row.
"Iori, the pitcher has always only one duty, and that is to use his own pitch to catch the batter in front of him." After Hiroshi Ohta, the messenger sent by Supervisor Kataoka, finished these words, he paused and continued: "But the pitcher is just
The first line of defense in the team, there are two lines of defense behind you, the infielders and the outfielders, and we are still in the dugout, so go out and pitch with confidence! No matter what kind of enemy we face, we will
Accompanying you!"
After listening to Yagami Ye, he looked at the senior students who had formed a circle around him. They were all looking at him with encouraging eyes. He was indeed quite touched.
"I'm sorry for making the seniors worried." Although Yagami's face was still a little pale, he had recovered, "I will keep the score and won't let them fly out again!"
"come on!"
After Hiroshi Ohta finished speaking, he turned around and trotted away from the field.
"Iori, come on."
"Vote to them, we can catch it!"
"Iori, feel free to throw the ball."
A group of defensive players patted Yagami Ye on the shoulders and returned to their guarding positions.
"Futian, let's get a big one!"
"make persistent efforts!"
In the rest area of Yokohama, all Yokohama players were cheering for Nagasho Fukuda who was about to hit the field, and the cheering sound of the support group in the audience was also much louder.
After the timeout, Yokohama 6-bat Eishou Fukuda waved his bat and made a bunt motion, allowing Seido catcher Kentaro Matsuda to give the advance signal to other Seido fielders.
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
…
"call out!"
"Bang!"
“ball.“
Yagami threw eight consecutive pitches, walking Yokohama Nagasho Fukuda in the sixth and Yasumasa Takagi in the seventh, and also sent the runner Kenji Sato back to home plate at second base, giving up another run.
.
After that, Iori Yagami adjusted his condition and struck out the following Yokohama batters Ken Kawakaku with eight bats and Kazuki Echizen with nine bats, leaving two bases behind and ending the fifth inning.
In the sixth and seventh inning, Yokohama changed pitchers, and third-year Nishijima hit the plate. Facing the explosion of Aido's line, Nishijima first gave up one run in the sixth inning, and then lost one in the seventh inning.
Three points changed the score between Qingdao and Yokohama to 5:9.
In the eighth inning, Jinguji Kazuichi, who was switched from third baseman to pitcher, scored three outs at the cost of one run, ending the eighth inning.
"Good shot! Jinguji."
"Leave it to us next!"
"We will definitely get the points back!".
The defensive players who ran back to the rest area all said to their ace, Jinguji Kaichi.
Jinguji smiled at them, picked up the protective gear next to him and handed it to the team members who were about to attack, Takashi Fujii with three sticks and Higashi Kiyokuni with four sticks. This chapter has been completed!
