297. The Last Summer 3(1/3)

"Miss Uchida."

"yes!"

Uchida Mari looks very energetic in a baseball uniform and a white pleated skirt.

She stood in the open venue and used a microphone to talk to two hosts who were not sure where she was.

“It is said that you like baseball very much, are you?”

"I really like it! My dream is to marry a professional baseball player!"

"Oh——" the male host exclaimed, "Ms. Uchida, I have served in the professional team before and am considered a baseball player. Do I have a chance?"

"This." Uchida Mari tilted his head in a difficult manner.

"What does it mean to be a baseball player!" the host smiled, "Uchida, don't worry about this person."

"Yes, I understand." Uchida Mari simply responded.

"Hey——" the male host shouted with a little unwillingness.

Uchida Mari smiled cheerfully, and her sweet smile was all over the electronic screen.

"However," said the host, "Master of the live baseball team, Uchida Chan can consider it."

"Eh?" Uchida Mari was startled, with an exaggerated expression, "Is it OK?"

"Of course not!" The male host firmly opposed it, "Ms. Uchida is 30 years old this year. This is the Kokoto qualifiers. All participants are high school students! It's a crime!"

"Well—" pretended to be pondering, Uchida Mari said in a brisk tone, "Sure enough, I should ignore you today."

"sorry!"

There was a burst of laughter on the spot.

After the warm-up, the female host said: "It's time to kick off, please ask Ms. Uchida to walk to the pitching mound."

"Yes! OK!"

Uchida Mari handed the microphone to the staff on the side, put on gloves, held the ball, and walked up the pitcher mound.

The gaze of 30,000 people made her smile so nervous that it seemed a little unnatural.

"Come on, Miss Uchida!" shouted the male host.

Uchida Mari's hand holding the ball was raised and he made a 'come' position.

Kagukawa's catcher squatted down at home, and the referee also stood behind the catcher in a decent manner.

"Uchida Chan, let's start!"

Uchida Mari raised the ball over his head and then raised his legs.

The posture should have been practiced, which is quite standard.

He fought hard to get out.

The position from the pitching hill to the catcher's home plate is 18.44 meters.

For Uchida Mari, who is only 155 cm tall and does not usually train, let alone accurately throwing into the catcher glove, the ball fell down halfway through the flight.

The ball rolled on the ground towards the catcher.

Uchida Mari covered her mouth shyly, then laughed cheerfully again.

"Thank you, Miss Uchida! Haha!"

"The kickoff ends, the 104th summer Kaziyuan Competition, the Dongdong District final, officially begins!"

"In the first half of the first game, Chiyoda-ku Mitsumatsu attacked first! Shinjuku-ku Kamikawa defended!"

"Kankawa's nine starters have entered the game!"

"Kankawa's starting pitcher is indeed Yukichi Uchida, a veteran in his third year of fighting in Kaziyuan. Last year, he also led Kaziyuan to win tickets to Kaziyuan at the Shrine Stadium and represented Dongdong District 20 to play in Kaziyuan!"

"Well, I lost in the first round of Jiaziyuan last year. I don't know where they will go after a year of hard work."

"This year is the last year for Uchida pitcher. I believe he will burst out with the greatest desire to win. Mitsumatsu, come on!"

"Sansong's first hitter is also in place!"

Yuki Uchida took a deep breath, staring at the front of him, looking at the catcher.

Lift your legs and play with your arms.

The moment the ball goes out, the ball speed is shown on the electronic screen: 146km/h.

The hitter's baton fell.

"A good ball!" the referee shouted.

"The ball speed of 146 is very good, the player Uchida is in good condition." The male host praised.

"Yes!" said the female host, "Last year, Uchida player scored 150 personal records in the preliminary and main competitions of Kokoen. I don't know if the tenth can be broken this year."

"The second ball... was hit! But it flew very high, it was a high-flying ball! Kagukawa's outfielder is already in place!"

"I'm going to be taken to kill! Ah, I'm indeed taken to kill!"

"I am worthy of being a Uchida player! This goal is definitely calculated! Mitsumatsu's first hitter seems to be too nervous!"

Sansong's first hitter left the court, and the second hitter carried the bat and trotted on the court.

"Kankawa!"

"come on!"

The audience room has a large area with the words "Shenchuan", and the musical department sounds the passionate marching song.

On the other hand, Sansong support team was also unwilling to be weak and shouted all day long.

The cheerleader stood in the aisle, waving the colorful flowers in his hands.

The VIP seat was completely unaware of the Tsubasa Watanabe.

Why did the ball get hit and the hitter who had already reached first base get out by himself?

Receive killing?

Does it mean that the ball is caught by the opponent in the air and the hitter is directly eliminated?

Shiro Watanabe once thought that as long as the ball was hit very high and could not fall from the sky, the hitter could run from home base to first base, second base, third base, and finally return to home base and get one point.

It seems that those who make baseball rules also take into account this situation and place restrictions on high-flying balls:

No matter if the hitter runs to first base, second base or third base, as long as the ball is caught directly before landing, the hitter is directly out.

For ordinary people, it may be difficult to catch a ball falling from a high altitude, but for baseball teams that have been trained since childhood, as long as they do not make mistakes, they can almost certainly catch such a ball.

Baseball rules are much more complicated than general sports.

Basketball enters the frame, football enters the door, and tennis passes the net. Even people who don’t understand the rules can understand these sports.

Toru Watanabe looked at his left, and except for him and Rin Kiyono, the other three seemed to know baseball.

The two wives kept communicating in a low voice.

During this period, Uchida eliminated Mitsumatsu's second hitter.

"Sansong and two hitters were eliminated! The situation is dangerous, I don't know if the three sticks can withstand the pressure!"

"I hit it! It's a rolling ball! Can I get on the base?"

The ball hit was caught by the second baseman and he rushed to Xiu Kuroi who was guarding the first base.

Shuo Kuroi must catch the ball before the third hitter touches the first base bag.

The moment the ball fell into Guojing's gloves, the third hitter rushed to First Base and touched it.

"Has it succeeded?" the man asked expectantly.

"It seems that the ball is first...safe! Successfully got on the base!"

"Ah, the referee said that the Kuroi player who was guarding first base left the base in order to catch the ball! It was just a little short! What a pity!"

"It's worthy of being the three sticks! It's very strong ability to go to the base with stability! There's still a chance for Sansong to say this, come on!"

"Now, look at Sansong's four sticks. If they are directly eliminated, Sansong will be eliminated by three hitters, and they will directly exchange offense and defense. The efforts of Sansong will be in vain!"

"As long as you work hard, it will not be in vain! It is this spirit of hard work that the baseball game is exciting!"

"What I said is. OK, the hitter who successfully reached the first base left the base and made a stole the base, interfering with Kaguawa's pitcher Uchida!"

Unfortunately, Uchida is strong and confident enough. He doesn't care about the three sticks on first base and strikes out four sticks.

The first sentence was first half, Sansong scored: zero.

Offensive and defensive exchange, it was Sansong's turn to pitch, and Kagua hit the ball and attack.

"What a pity!"

"But it's just the first inning, the baseball game will never end in less than the second half of the nine innings!"

While watching, Toru Watanabe looked, he slowly guessed the rules of baseball based on the words of the two commentators.
