"One out." Yagami turned around and made a one-out gesture to the fielder behind him, then stood up on the pitcher's mound again, looking at Inagi Industrial second-bats Ryuumi Koyanagi who had just walked to home plate.
Kentaro Matsuda squatted behind home plate and looked at the batter in front of him, recalled the ball that Ryuumi Koyanagi had played in the previous batter, and gave his signal to Yagami Yagami.
After reading this, Yagami nodded. He clenched the baseball with his left hand behind his back, raised his leg and stepped forward, swinging his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
The baseball flew out of the pitcher's mound and flew toward Kentaro Matsuda's sleeve, which was placed near the batter's knee.
Koyanagi Ryuumi looked at the baseball flying straight towards his legs, and finally restrained his instinct to retreat and swung the metal bat in his hand vigorously.
"Whoosh!"
Unfortunately, he was a little slow, and he could only watch helplessly as the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound smoothly passed through the home plate area and entered the open cover of Seido catcher Kentaro Matsuda.
"Bang!"
“strike.“
Koyanagi Ryuuji frowned. He had been frightened by the opponent's inside corner ball that flew close to his calf before. He continued to be struck out by Jinguji. Now Seido has changed pitchers, why is he still doing this?
Do you think it will still work?
Seeing that Daocheng Industrial's second bat, Ryuumi Koyanagi, had returned to his position, Kentaro Matsuda's fingers were gesticulating under his body, and he continued to place the ball sleeve close to the batter's knee.
Standing on the pitcher's mound, Iori Yagami nodded slightly, and then followed the signal given to him by Matsuda-senpai and swung his arm to throw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
The baseball thrown by Yagami Yagami once again flew out of the pitcher's mound and continued to fly toward the inside corner of the batter's calf, forcing Ryuumi Koyanagi to take a step back.
"Bang!"
Catcher Kentaro Matsuda steadily caught the baseball as it flew from the pitcher's mound.
“ball.“
The referee made his own decision on Yagami Yagami's obviously missed shot.
Matsuda didn't pay too much attention to this. He stood up and took out the baseball from his bag and threw it back to Yagami. After squatting down again, he looked at Koyanagi Ryuumi's position before giving the secret signal to Yagami.
"call out!"
Ryuu Koyanagi looked at the baseball that was flying from the pitcher's mound in a slightly off-center position, and without much hesitation he swung the metal bat in his hand.
"Whoosh!"
However, when the baseball was about to enter the home plate area, it suddenly moved sideways and flew toward the low outside corner. In the end, only the top of the bat that Ryuumi Koyanagi swung touched the ball flying from the pitcher's mound.
The baseball flew toward first base.
Ryuu Koyanagi immediately dropped the bat and ran towards first base. At the same time, Yagami Yagami was also running down the pitcher's mound quickly, intercepting the baseball that was bouncing on the ground and flying towards first base, then waved his arm and turned around
Pass the ball to first base.
“out.“
After Aomichi first baseman Higashi Kiyokuni caught Yagami Yagami's pass, the first base umpire immediately raised his right hand to Koyanagi Ryuumi, who was running quickly, indicating that he was out.
Koyanagi Ryuumi had no choice but to run back to home base, pick up the bat he had dropped earlier, and then trot back to the rest area of Daocheng Industrial.
On the field, Iori Yagami took the baseball thrown by the referee. The first pitch he just threw was swept out of the third base sideline by Inagi Sanjiro Higaki Haojiro.
Matsuda-senpai thought for a while before giving him a new signal, a fast straight ball from a low inside corner.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
"The outside world!"
Another foul ball that was swept out of the third base line.
Kentaro Matsuda squatted there and thought for a moment, then gave Yagami a new code.
A changeup ball?
Yagami nodded. Higaki Haojiro had never hit the slow ball he threw. The ball speed of the first two balls was more than 145km/h, which was close to 150km/h. The speed ball should be able to interfere with the opponent's judgment.
Yagami adjusted his grip, then swung his arm and threw the baseball in his palm.
"call out!"
After the baseball was thrown by Yagami Yagami, it rushed smoothly from the pitcher's mound to the home plate, and began to slow down as it approached the home plate. In addition, the baseball would also fall downward at a smaller amplitude.
Kentaro Matsuda opened and set up the ball sleeve and was waiting for the baseball to fly the last distance and fall into it. However, Hinogaki Haojiro, who had been swinging actively before, seemed to have guessed in advance what ball Yagami would throw and controlled it well this time.
When he swung the bat, the metal bat he swung happened to meet the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and there was a violent collision.
"Ping!"
The baseball that flew from the pitcher's mound changed its direction due to Hinojiro Higaki's powerful hit and flew backwards. Then it quickly flew over the infield and rushed into center field, and continued to fly forward without stopping.
Oops! If the baseball keeps flying, it might be a home run...
Yagami looked at the baseball that was almost flying to the end of center field, and his expression changed.
At the same time, on the grass in the center field, Murasuke Omura was desperately chasing the baseball that was about to fly past. When he saw the baseball flying in the air taking off its force and starting to fall downwards, he stretched out his ball cover as much as possible.
With his hand, the whole person flew forward.
"Boom!"
Murasuke Daiki, who was lying on the ground, slowly raised his ball sleeve. Seeing this, the referee immediately raised his right hand.
“out.“
Qingdao got the third out in a very thrilling manner, ending the first half of the seventh inning.
"Murasuke-senpai is so handsome!"
"Big tree, well done!"
"You guy, you took all the limelight by yourself."
The defenders of Seido happily expressed their praise to their great hero Murasuke Daiki while jogging towards Seido's rest area.
In the second half of the seventh inning, perhaps stimulated by the stimulation of the sixth inning or the first half of the inning, Daocheng Industrial's ace Saito Yuki quickly struck out Aomichi's first hitter Fukuda Taro and second hitter Yu Tanaka.
The third hitter, Takashi Fujii, hit the bases. Even if he used four bad balls to walk the fourth hitters, Tokiyoku Aomichi and the fifth hitter, Murasuke Daiki, he did not lose any points because of the six-base hitter that followed.
Cheng Zhe was also eliminated directly by him with a lob.
"Snapped!"
“out.“
"Three outs, exchange offense and defense."
In the first half of the eighth inning, Daocheng Industrial's four-bat Goto Takashi stepped into the batting box. He bowed to the referee seriously first, then waved the metal bat in his hand and turned to look at Qing Qing on the pitcher's mound.
Road pitcher Yagami Yagami, and the extremely conspicuous scoreboard behind Yagami Yagami...
At the end of the seventh game, the score between Qingdao and Daocheng Industrial was still 4:6.
Taking a deep breath and then exhaling it slowly, Goto Takashi raised the metal bat in his hand and made a gesture of waiting for a hit. This chapter has been completed!
