The baseball flew over from the pitcher's mound. Goto Takashi leaned back slightly to avoid the obviously high ball.
After adjusting his breathing and movements again, Goto Takashi continued to stare closely at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
"call out!"
Iori Yagami swung his arm on the pitcher's mound to throw the baseball in his palm, while Goto Takashi swung the metal bat in his hand without hesitation.
"Ping!"
Goto Takashi's swinging bat accurately hit the center of the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound, and then swung the bat he hit outward with all his strength, watching the baseball fly backwards toward center field.
After that, let go and drop the bat and start running the bases.
While sprinting towards first base, Goto Takashi thought: It felt like the ball was hit very far by him, and he should be able to run to second base.
The result was just as he imagined. It wasn't until he successfully ran to second base that Qingdao's second baseman received a pass from the center fielder.
The next player to play was Yu Funabashi, the five-bat player of Inagi Industries. After he walked to the batting box and stood up, his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing fire, staring closely at Yagami Yagami on the pitcher's mound.
It will be up to him to sound the clarion call for counterattack next!
…
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Ping!"
“strike out.“
As the referee finished speaking, Takashi Fujii passed the ball he caught in his ball sleeve to the ball boy outside the court, and trotted back to the rest area with the others.
Facing the explosion of Daocheng Industrial Center's at-bats, Yagami threw two four-ball balls and walked Daocheng Industrial's five-hitters Funabashi Yuu and Saito Yuki. This also caused them to lose three points in a row in this half of the inning.
Ending the first half of the eighth inning.
"Catch! Left fielder Fujii-kun successfully caught the fly ball and got the last out in the first half of the ninth inning. The following is the second half of the ninth inning. The current score is 7:6, and Daocheng Industrial is temporarily ahead.
.”
"Qingdao's last chance to attack, it was Qingdao's turn at the top of the bat. Can Qingdao continue to hit the line and successfully achieve a reversal? Can Daocheng Industrial hold on to the victory in the final game? Let's wait and see.
!”
Although Daocheng Industrial's ace Saito Yuki struck out in the previous at-bats, or was caught and out by Daocheng Industrial's defensive players, because Tokiyokuni successfully hit the bases in Seido's fourth at-bat,
Qingdao's line-building can still continue.
Shirakawa Eisei looked at the five-bat hitter Murasuke Daiki in front of him who was ready to hit, and thought about how to deal with the opponent's last hitter.
After thinking for a while, Shirakawa Hidesei gave a signal to Saito, the pitcher on the pitcher's mound, and moved his whole body a step outward, opening and positioning the ball sleeve.
"call out!"
"Whoosh!"
"Bang!"
“strike.“
After scoring the first good number of balls, Shirakawa Eisei looked at Murasuke Daiki who had re-arranged his posture in front of him, and continued to ask Saito Yuki for the ball from the outside corner.
Murasuke Daiki looked at the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound. Its ball path had obviously deviated from the strike zone, so he remained motionless and allowed the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound to whizz by in front of his eyes.
“ball.“
After a good ball and a bad ball, Shirakawa Eisei moved his sleeve and asked Saito Yuki for a ball close to the corner of the strike zone.
As the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound flew closer and closer, Murasuke Daiki immediately turned around and swung the metal bat in his hand with all his strength, directly hitting the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound.
"Ping!"
Daiki Murasuke watched the baseball flying from the pitcher's mound being swept towards left field, immediately dropped the bat and started running the bases.
Just when Murasuke Daiki ran to first base and was about to continue sprinting to second base, he suddenly heard the first base instructor behind him shouting to him: "Murasuke, the ball flew out - it's a home run!"
What? A home run?
Quite surprised, he looked up in the direction of the left field. Sure enough, he saw the left fielder of Daocheng Industrial looking up at the empty stands behind him. The white baseball rolled a few times and fell to the bottom of the steps before stopping.
Aomichi's support group has changed into a special song to celebrate the home run, and the players in the dugout are also excitedly waving their arms towards Murasuke Daiki.
"A two-run RBI home run! Qingdao successfully reversed the score at the last minute. Daocheng Industrial lost to Qingdao 7:8."
Murasuke Daiki, who ran back to the home base, high-fived each other with Higashi Seikuni, who returned to the home base first. He took the bat that Higashi Seikuni handed back to him, and then stayed where he was and waited for others in the dugout to rush towards them.
Run over.
Everyone in Seido hugged each other, lined up, and bowed to each other as the air raid siren sounded loudly, ending the semi-finals of the spring Tokyo High School Fieldball Conference between Seido and Daocheng Industrial.
In the stands on the side of Daocheng Industrial, a blond boy was closely chasing the figure belonging to Iori Yagami on the other side of Qingdao. He clenched his hands into fists and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Narimiya is gone. It's time to go back to school." A mixed-race boy walked up to him and said.
"Right away." Narimiya glanced at Yagami's back one last time, then turned around and left the auditorium with the members of the second and third armies of the Daocheng Industrial Baseball Club.
When entering the passage leaving the stadium, personnel from Qingdao and Daocheng Industrial met as expected.
Cheng Gongming used his excellent eyesight to spot the young man with glasses in the crowd opposite.
"Kazuya!" Narimiya Ming walked quickly towards Miyuki Kazuya.
Hearing someone calling him, Miyuki Kazu paused. Naoya Zangzao and senior Chris, who were walking with him, also stopped reflexively and looked up at the blond boy walking straight towards the opposite side.
After realizing that the other party came to see Miyuki Kazuya, the two of them nodded to Miyuki Kazuya and walked away together.
"Naru, long time no see." Miyukiichi also said hello to Narimiya Naru.
Narimiya and his friends stood in front of Kazuya Miyuki. The members of the Second and Third Army who passed him stopped when they saw this and asked: "Do you need help?"
"No, I know them." Miyukiichi rejected the other party's kindness, and then asked Narimiya Naru: "What's the matter? Naru."
"The reason why we lost today's game is because I didn't play. The winner next time will definitely be us." Narimiya held his head high and said with confidence.
"Really?" Miyukiichi also said with a smile: "It's a pity that we have to wait until the Hajia qualifiers before we can meet Daocheng Industrial again. Before meeting our Qingdao, you must not lose to others."
"This is what I want to say! Kazuya, just wait. I will definitely win back this failure in the next competition!" After Narumiya finished speaking angrily, he stretched out his hand to Miyuki Kazuya.
The right hand comes out.
"See you on the field, I won't lose." Miyukiichi also extended his right hand to shake Narimiya's hand, and then the two parties separated to catch up with the large troops of their own schools. This chapter has been completed!
