Shinjiro Kuwabara. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Li Yuanrang every time he sees the name on his opponent's profile, the corners of his mouth will be slightly upturned.

Kuwabara is not at his best right now. The game the day before yesterday was played after nine rounds, and just now I warmed up and waited for a lot of time under the scorching sun.

However, at this point in time, Fuso's third replacement for Kuwabara can always be more suppressive than letting Chiba continue to cast.

Kuwabara's advantage is that he is a completely different type from Chiba. It takes time for the batter to readjust.

Three-quarters of a right throw, the ball speed is in the second half of 130 kilometers. The tiebreaker is a circle-finger speed ball, but it can also be used to shoot cart balls.

All of the balls used by Kuwabara have a similar pitching stance.

The slow curved ball used by Chiba can be distinguished from a straight ball just by looking at the movement of the arms.

That's why the players at the School of Peace have mastered the rhythm of their swings after two rounds of blows.

Of course, Kuwabara can only suppress ordinary opponents with these characteristics, and he still struggles to shoot against fighters like Lee Wonrang and Fukushima.

It is different from the strategy of replacing pitchers in Fuso's third. The Peace School side can only continue to execute the trump card tactics for now.

Kazuhei Fukushima, who had bottomed out his physical strength, stubbornly continued to throw. And the throwing method of completely letting the body coordinate naturally makes the ball faster and faster, and it is more and more difficult to control the ball.

And so the game fell into a new equilibrium.

In the seventh inning, with two outs and two people on second base, Li Yuanrang easily hit a well-timed hit with additional points.

In the seventh inning, Toshito Funabashi waited for four bad balls to be delivered, and with the assistance of his teammates, he went all the way to third base. Finally, he returned to home plate with the sacrifice of the high flying sacrifice of the four-batter Otsuka.

The score of 7-5 remained until the bottom half of the ninth inning.

In the last half of the game, Fuso's third blow started with Hiroyuki Chiba, a nine-stick stick.

After being transferred to a catcher, Chiba's matching ball was without merit. And if you want to respond to the expectations of the overseers in terms of crackdowns, now may be the last chance.

There wasn't much Li Yuanrang could do.

Ichihei Fukushima now tensed his nerves and threw every ball with the last of his strength.

According to the agreement before the start of the ninth inning, as long as the runner tied the score went to base, Fukushima would hand over the pitcher mound to his teammates.

Li Yuanrang used a risky strategy to deal with the beater.

Chiba Hiroyuki is a long-play player, and it stands to reason that he should lower the ball to avoid the opponent's flying ball.

But Li Yuan made every ball with a high-pitched speedball.

Ichihei Fukushima just hit a straight ball with a speed of 142 kilometers per hour. He was originally a ball handler, but now the only weapon he can rely on is ball speed.

And it's hard for a true long-distance hitter to completely suppress his desire for a high speedball swing.

After two swings, the third ball, Chiba, finally touched the bat with the baseball.

The second baseman took two steps back slightly, allowing the unsightly fly ball to fall into his glove.

The first one is out, but the trouble is still to come.

Toshito Funabashi, who was active in attack throughout the game, came out to strike again.

It's certainly not a good choice to put the opponent's fast-legged player on base.

However, despite Fukushima's all-out pitching, Funahashi used his speed to run past Uchino.

Next, Miyashita, the second batter on the left, continued to block the path of the catcher's pass with a swing.

The bridge was stolen to second base.

With someone in the lap, Lee Wonrang and Fukushima, the shooting pair, chose to completely ignore the existence of runners.

Tactical execution factor aside, Miyashita, the second batter, is not a difficult hitter.

Strikeouts are the best option to avoid accidents.

Miyashita's aerial swing to cover his teammates has already contributed a good ball count. Fukushima got the other two with straight balls alternating between inside and outside corners.

Two outs. Now the situation on the field has become simpler. The audience that had been seated stood up one after another.

When the opponent strikes, it stands to reason that the support group of the Peace Academy should not make too much noise.

But today's spectators in the first base stand weren't just the students of the Peace School.

"One more! And one more! ”

What started out as shouts in twos and threes soon expanded into a sound that could be heard by the whole audience.

"There are really people in the audience who will shout like that."

Li Yuanrang has seen such lines in many comics or film and television works before.

But when I participated in the competition as a team member, it was the first time I had seen this kind of scene.

Yokoo, the third batter of Fuso's third, is a member of the center line.

He was also the most consistent of the three home run strikers.

Li Yuanrang has not many choices to make.

The location of the gloves is now for reference only. The code is only a simple difference between the ball and the inner and outer corners.

The first ball Li Yuanrang played the code of a straight ball in the outside corner. The original purpose was just to lay the groundwork for the next ball.

However, the opponent swung the ball on the straight ball in the good zone.

It's already two outs, and there's no need to wait. Toshito Funabashi started from second base, and he turned his head to look again as he rushed back to home plate. Miyagi, the outfielder of the Peace Academy, has already raised his arms and started to celebrate.

Li Yuanrang took off his mask and stood up. Exhausted, Issei Fukushima was carried off the pitcher's hill by his teammate Donald, who didn't speak his language.

The school song of the School of Peace was played on the court. Unlike other local conventions. In the Tokyo area, whether it is the West Tokyo or East Tokyo Games, only the competition after the semi-finals will have the school song sung.

Composed by the school's founder, this song has an American country music flavor and is accompanied by lyrics from a typical Japanese college anthem.

"The lyrics say 'the wind blows Musashino and shines on Fuji Ridge' or something, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with our school."

Because there is no hard requirement to learn, Li Yuanrang listened carefully to the school's school song for the first time.

"College songs, when I can't think of the content, I will use the landscape near the school to make up the number."

Because Akio Yabe watches various college baseball games all year round, he listens to the school songs of other schools.

"But you can't see Mt. Fuji from the school."

"You can still see it in good weather, but only on the top floor of the school building. In any case, many schools in the western Tokyo area claim to be able to see Mt. Fuji. In fact, there are not many that can really be seen. ”

"What about Musashino?"

"It's not a short train stop. It's not surprising to tuck in for the sake of rhyme. ”

"This school song will be laughed at if you take it to Koshien!"

"Then we have to really get into Koshien!"

……

Lee Wonrang really seriously considered making it to Koshien in the afternoon after the semi-finals.

In the previous game, Tama Gakuen, which had defeated Hayata Sho, eliminated Komeito High School, the last surviving seeded team of this tournament.

The upcoming final of the West Tokyo Games turned into a battle between two dark horses.

Whichever side wins, it will be Koshien's first team. (To be continued.) )
