Chapter 125: An Unexpected Direction
Li Yuan let the bat in his hand fall to the ground. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the ball review behind home plate and try to recall the picture just now.
Did the baseball hit the palm first? Or hit the bat first?
When the referee hesitated to award the ball to base, the pitcher mound, the pitcher of Tama Gakuen Tama Yoshio Tendo had already taken off his hat and bowed to apologize.
This is tantamount to admitting that the ball you threw hit the opponent.
The referee also made a decision.
Lee was escorted to first base.
"Take off your gloves and show them to the doctor."
After the referee's decision was made, Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area to confirm the injury. Ichihei Fukushima was the first to catch up, and he urged Li Yuanrang to quickly take off his striking gloves for examination.
The injured area is the side of the palm under the little finger. The area is not huge. However, the area hit by the baseball still swollen at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt, ah, but it seems to be hurting now."
The doctor on site continued to examine the wound.
"Now I can't be sure if I hurt my bones, I have to go to the hospital to take a film to find out."
Ichihei Fukushima frowned when he listened to the doctor's words.
"Let's change the generation."
This is a decision made by Fukushima. After saying this, Fukushima glanced at the bench. The most suitable candidate for the role of a substitute is Suzuki, a second-year student.
Suzuki, who was replaced by Tokuda Ballo, was inferior to his competitors in terms of striking and defense, but he was always better than Donald and Tako.
"I can still fight."
The spray was not enough, Li Yuanrang was using an ice pack to relieve the pain in his palms.
It's only the seventh game now, and Li Yuanrang may have one more turn to be hit in this game.
Now that he is behind the score, he wants to take his fate into his own hands.
"What about the catcher's job, the palm can't catch the ball like this now."
"Isn't there still Yabe?"
Not only could he not catch the ball, but Fukushima Yiping understood that Li Yuanrang's current situation was actually difficult to swing the stick freely.
But even if he can't swing the bat, he is no less valuable in the strike zone than his teammates just by picking the ball.
Now it's the final of the Nishitokyo tournament, and if you win, you can go to Koshien. In terms of scores, the Peace School is falling behind. In this case, Li Yuan asked himself to stay on the playing field, and Fukushima also felt that it was an acceptable behavior.
Of course, the position of the catcher can only depend on Akio Yabe.
After a few minutes of hiatus, the game continued.
Lee Won ran from the rest area to first base.
The crowd on the sidelines, both on first and third base, responded with encouraging applause.
The next hitter was Ichihei Fukushima.
The Tendo Hero on the pitcher's mound cautiously dealt with the four-time hitter.
The condition of the straight ball is okay, but the changeable ball is now a problem for the Heavenly Dao.
Because of the relationship between the left throw, when facing the right hitter, the change of the Heavenly Dao is the type that changes from the outer angle to the inner angle.
If the pitch is too close to the good zone, the chance of a missed shot becoming a sweet ball with a heart is higher.
And if the ball is in the inside corner, it is inevitable to hit the hitter like just now.
The current Tiandao Haoxiong has a trace of fear for the inner corner.
One good and one bad later. Tiandao's pitches began to focus on the outside corner. But you can't control the ball in the area.
Ichihei Fukushima was escorted by four bad. The Peace School occupies a full base at once.。
Akio Yabe, who appeared next, remembered the conversation he had with Fukushima in the rest area. I'm going to try to grind it to four bad times at a time.
It's not just because of the fear of the inner corners. Yabe's good ball area is smaller than that of his teammates in front of him.
Tiandao threw another escort one after another.
In the case of full bases, this is equivalent to giving the opponent a point for nothing.
In the rest area of Tama Gakuen Tama, Superintendent Yasuda finally couldn't sit still. He made personnel changes.
In the last three games, Yoshio Amamichi has been replaced by pitcher mound for the first time.
His replacement was originally fielder Takehara.
As an outfielder, Takehara has good arm strength. Despite his small stature, he can occasionally throw more than 130 kilometers at a speed.
In the past, when the ace Tiandao needed to rest, Takehara would take his place on the board.
However, to put out fires in a full-base crisis like the current one is still a time for Takehara, who is not a full-time pitcher.
Anyone could see Takehara's nervousness.
Before the official resumption of the game, Takehara threw a super big shot that was higher than the beater's head as soon as he came up.
Although the next few balls stabilized, many of them failed to fit into the good ball area.
Facing the sixth baton Tokuda ball in the Peace Academy. As soon as Takehara came up, he threw two bad balls first.
It's about to give the opponent another point.
In the third ball, Takehara tried to stuff the ball into the bottom half of the good ball area with the idea of throwing a ball to let the opponent hit the ball rolling the ball.
And for Tokuda, this goal is not too low to be fished.
The baseball flies in the direction of the outfield. Passing over the head of Yoshio Amamichi, who had just been transferred to the position of a stalwart, he hit the lower edge of the Coca-Cola billboard.
Reverse a home run with full base.
Li Yuanrang didn't know how far this ball flew. But he remembers the memories of when he and Yabe watched professional baseball games together at Jingu.
According to Yabe, there are very few professional players who hit home runs long enough to hit a Coca-Cola billboard.
Tokuda doesn't usually look like a power player. The ball just now is probably the power of a metal bat. Li Yuanrang thought so.
The spectators in the first base stands were boiling. Even approving applause came from the third-base side stands.
Most of the viewers of college baseball are actually neutral, and they cheer for whichever side performs well.
On base, three runners were waiting for Tokuda at home base.
When he returned to base, several people rushed up to high-five him in celebration.
Tokuda originally high-fived with both hands, but when it was Li Yuan's turn to make this place, he hesitated for a moment and only used his right hand.
"Now that it's reversed, let's change the next game with peace of mind."
Tokuda said.
Li Yuanrang nodded.
By the end of the seven-game game, the score had become 11-8. The School of Peace is three points ahead.
witnessed this half-game ace pitcher being knocked out, and he suffered a slam baptism again.
Takehara, who was the first to make his debut, was the first to appear in the first half of the eighth inning.
Eager to make up for it, he actively swings his bats and runs bases. Barely got an infield hit.
But when he unabashedly stole to second base, experienced catcher Yabe and pitcher Fukushima worked together tacitly. An outside corner speedball is followed by an accurate pass to second base.
More than enough time. The runner was struck before the base pack.
The offensive morale of the multi-learner was completely extinguished.
Takehara, who was already in the third grade, returned to the rest area almost with tears in his eyes.
This sentiment spread among teammates.
In the last nine innings, every player who has learned more than one high school has a sad and angry look on their faces.
They were hungry for an equaliser, but it was that emotion that prompted them to swing their bats blindly.
Three ups, three downs, two of which were strikeouts.
This is the end of the game. (To be continued.) )
