Today's seventh baton of the Peace School is first-grader Ritoku Kawajiri.

Kawajiri's original position in the line was the ninth stick that played a connecting role.

But today's ninth stick is a handmade rattan. Kawajiri was pushed forward to the seventh baton to serve as an ambush for the latter base.

Kawajiri, who takes care of both the inner and outer field guards, plays the role of a tool man in the town of Peace Gakuen.

Naturally, it also has good tactical execution.

As soon as the game is out, the runner is on first base. There are many tactics to choose from.

Although the opposing pitchers on the court still hold the record of no hits and no points conceded. But there is nothing other than hitting a hitter to score points.

The simplest and most straightforward one, of course, is to force points.

Kawajiri, who was standing on the edge of the strike zone and adjusting his condition, seemed to be swinging his bat, and from time to time he placed the bat in the position of the strike.

Despite this seemingly ambiguous stance. However, his opponent probably decided that he would force points by touching.

The garrison of the inner field has moved forward. The next pitcher, Kanzaki, will probably also throw the ball that destroys the impact.

The worst result of striking a ball is to point the ball into a flying ball.

During the entire time the baseball is in the air, runners who have already left the base must return to the base pack and wait for the baseball to land.

The defenders have plenty of time to adjust their formation.

As long as the defender's defense plays normally, the touch that is clicked into a flying ball will basically be directly taken out by the arrester and pitcher.

Komeito's pitcher, Kanzaki, admits he is accurate with the ball.

He throws a straight ball against the top edge of the good zone.

This high straight ball is a useful means of disrupting the strike.

But if the batter on the base has enough long-distance ability, the high ball can easily be hit into the outfield by the batter who quickly retracts the bat.

Kanzaki and his partner catcher dared to boldly throw this high ball at Kawajiri. To some extent, it is also because Kawajiri did not have a prominent performance in long play in previous official matches.

Even his overall batting average numbers aren't impressive.

Kanzaki is not a speedball player, but as the trump card of a private family, the ball speed is also more than 140 kilometers.

Kawajiri wasn't completely sure about such a ball.

The moment the ball approaches home plate. Kawajiri took the bat away without directly lighting it.

It's certainly a good shot.

The batter who performs the strike tactic picks the ball that is easy to point on the first ball. If it's a high straight ball like the one just now, it's not uncommon for it to be missed.

Pitcher Kanzaki has no doubt that he has it. Pitch according to the established strategy.

The second ball is a curved ball.

Most pitchers throw a curveball that changes more vertically than laterally. Kanzaki's curveballs are no exception.

If the ball is controlled properly, this variation ball with a drop is better suited for disrupting the strike tactic when hoisted into the good ball area than the straight ball from the high post.

Kawajiri took the bat again.

Two good balls.

If the hit short hit after the two good balls is out of bounds, the hitter is directly out.

However, Kawajiri still took a striking stance.

"Do you want to go on? The intention is too obvious. ”

The opposing catcher crouched behind home plate asked questioningly.

"Yes, the overseer gave the order."

Of course, the Yagi supervisor in the rest area gave Kawajiri tactical instructions. However, the content is not just a matter of hitting and forcing points.

After two good shots, pitcher Kanzaki no longer had the slightest suspicion.

On the next ball, he threw a curveball that was intended to disrupt the strike.

Any pitcher's curveball will be a lot slower than a straight ball. And of all the variations, the difference between the pitching action and the straight ball is the most obvious.

Kawajiri and others are such a goal. He put away his bat and switched to his normal swing.

He didn't rush to swing the ball in order to observe the path of the ball above, and now he can see this ball clearly. It's the curveball that you sniped yourself.

"Infield back!"

The catcher of Gongminggao didn't have time to notify his teammates with a code, so he shouted directly.

However, Kawajiri's goal probably has nothing to do with the infielder.

What he wanted was a flying high.

Kawajiri has a good understanding of his own stick control skills.

Even if the opponent is now defending in the infield, it will not be easy to take the opportunity to hit a flat fly ball or roll the ball through the infield defense.

Once the ball is blocked in the infield, there is a good chance that a double will be made.

Whereas outfield high fly balls are different. Although a deliberately high parabolic outfield fly ball will almost certainly result in the hitter's exit. But as long as it's deep enough, no matter what angle the ball flies, as long as it's in bounds. Well, in the current situation where there are people on third base. There is a good chance that a runner on third base can run back to home plate to score after the ball is picked up by a defender.

This is also the high-flying sacrifice fight.

Pitcher Kanzaki threw a curved ball hanging from the top down. The original purpose of this ball was to make a high flying ball.

However, what the defenders want is a low fly ball from the infield that has failed.

And as a hitter, a purposeful outfield high fly ball is not always successful.

Luckily, this time Kawajiri's tactics were executed flawlessly.

Not only did the baseball fly to the outfield, but it also went in the direction of the right field, away from third base.

The right fielder caught the baseball accurately and completed his most basic task.

The next return pass to the infield, the opponent chose to make a relay pass through the second baseman.

Most college-level players don't have the ability to pass the ball straight to the infield at the same speed as a laser ray. The relay pass will be faster.

But now at this distance, the relay pass is tantamount to giving up the touch to the runner who hit the home run from the start. It seems that this return move now only has the function of guarding against runners on first base.

Lee Wonrang ran back to home plate with ease.

The opposing second baseman clenched the ball in his hand and simply gave up the pass.

Teammates in the rest area lined up to high-five Kawajiri and Lee Motorang.

Akio Yabe glanced at the big screen.

The hitter number is still zero.

But now the score is 1-0.

The full name of what is usually called a no-hitter game in baseball is actually "No Hit, No Run".

That is, no-hitter, no-conceded game.

Now the opposing pitcher Kanzaki still maintains a no-hitter record. However, it is no longer possible to create what is commonly known as a no-hitter game.

"But it's not a way to continue to fight like this......"

Yabe muttered as he watched the performance of his teammates on the field.

The rolling ball of Fuchida of the eighth stick failed to penetrate the defensive line. The opponent's second baseman stepped on the base bag after receiving the ball. This is the end of the offense for this game.

"At least it's ahead now, isn't it?"

Li Yuanrang, who was wearing the catcher armor, appeared next to Yabe. Apparently ready to defend next.

The Suns are still scorching, and the sixth game is about to begin. Fortunately, the number of pitches in the first hand has not yet reached 100.
