Though the ball had been hit very low and would be an infield hit, its direction was excellent, and Senior Maezono's power had always been one of his strengths.
After the inside fastball was hit, it landed in the Third-Shortstop Combination near second base!!
"Pff!"
"Smack!"
The instant it touched down, second baseman Urushibara threw himself at it and stopped it.
Urushibara had charged too fiercely, and his entire body was about to hit the ground.
But in the split second before he landed, Urushibara used the last of his strength to toss the ball from his glove with his left hand toward shortstop Kujou, who had come over to cover.

"All right!!"
**"That was incredible!
