Li Yuanrang, who stood on first base, untied his striking gear and handed it to his teammates. He saw www.biquge.info Yagi overseer in his rest area giving instructions to the beaters to strike and sacrifice.

The fifth baton of the Peace School is now Outfielder Teda Guki.

This was the arrangement made by the Yagi supervisor based on the results of a series of practice matches last fall and this spring.

Tian Gu's strike rate is not low. That's why he joined the clearance team.

But there are also a lot of double kills.

So it's safer for a runner to let him assist in a first-base situation than to swing a free swing.

Tian Gu didn't plan to do any sneak attack. As soon as he came up, he assumed a striking pose.

After one failure, he finally ran into a baseball.

Li Yuanrang off base and went up to second base safely.

One out and there are people on second base. Now it's the turn of the School of Peace to face such a situation.

In this game, the sixth-ranked player is the first-year rookie Kojima.

He's a third baseman.

Although in the previous matches, Kojima showed his defensive and shoulder strength.

However, if the position of the third baseman wants to improve the evaluation, it is always up to the strike.

Kojima participated in the hardball team outside of school when he was in middle school.

The opponents were baseball elites of the same age from all over Saitama Prefecture.

Ichihara, the pitcher attached to the Sentake Academy, has a ball speed of just over 130 kilometers. In the actual battle, due to the distribution of power, the speed of the straight ball is only the second half of 120 kilometers in many cases.

Kojima thought that he could easily handle this level of pitching.

But after standing in the strike zone and pitching the opponent, he realized that there must be a reason why Ichihara can play the trump card of a prestigious private school with such a ball speed.

Ichihara is very good at pressing the change ball near the lower edge of the good zone, especially when he is good at stuffing the ball into the two bottom corners of the good zone.

The outer corner is a curved ball, and the inside corner is a speed ball.

And the difference between good and bad balls is very subtle.

The role of the straight ball in his pitching is mainly to match these changing balls, relying on the slow speed difference to increase the difficulty of the hitter's judgment.

So although the ball speed is not high, it is enough to use.

After three goals, the number of goals becomes two good and one bad.

Even Lee Wonrang, who is very good at ball selection, is difficult to tell at once whether the two balls that Kojima failed to hit with his bat swing really fell into the good ball zone from the perspective of second base.

The catcher is sometimes in charge of the balls attached to the Chitake Academy, but in many cases the supervisor in the rest area will directly make a code.

At such times, the value of the catcher is simply to send a message to the pitcher who is inconvenient to turn his head frequently to look in the direction of the rest area.

The fourth ball is a straight ball. The role of this ball in the distribution is more to adjust the pace of the pitch. This is also a request from the Superintendent.

Superintendent Yoshida does not require the ball to be a good ball. However, it is up to the catcher Kogi to decide where to throw it.

Kojima, the third baseman at the Peace Academy, decided to swing the next ball anyway.

The catcher puts the ball in the inside corner for the purpose of setting the stage for the next ball.

Kojima is barely out of the picture.

His proud swing speed helped him.

Despite failing to hit the core. Kojima's shot still sent the baseball to the ground behind the third baseman.

Such a hit is enough for a hitter to go up to first base on his own.

Li Yuanrang glanced at the opponent's left fielder, and he felt that he also had a chance.

The run to third base was thrilling. Unfortunately, it was too late to go to home plate.

The Great Attachment of the Thousand Bamboo School called a pause. A member of the team who ran out of the herald in the rest area. The pitcher, the mound, the infielder, and the pitching partner form a circle.

Donald Hirata, who was ranked seventh in the line this year, is now playing the role of an idle player in the line.

In this situation, Donald can score at least two points if he plays a long game.

The short timeout ended, and the opposing fielders took their places. After the adjustment, the pitcher market stabilized.

The result of Donald's blow was three strikeouts.

Unlike Donald's usual style of hitting, he didn't swing a batter on three consecutive balls.

Superintendent Yagi explained a lot of techniques for hitting low-post change balls before Donald came on the court.

Donald was distracted by the messages. Every ball hesitates between swinging and not swinging. In the end, the opportunity was missed.

But that's not necessarily a bad thing. For a batter like Donald, the ball often rolls the ball in the face of a change on the lower edge of the good zone.

For the current situation where there is a runner out at first and third base. Rolling the Earth in the Inner Field is equivalent to a double kill, which means that this attack will end immediately.

And now, Donald is out with three strikeouts. But the offense continued in this half-game.

Fuchida, the second baseman at the eighth baseman of the Peace Academy, is basically the team's guard in charge. However, in this situation, Fuchida has his own advantages.

He is only 163 centimeters tall.

Immediately after entering the school, he replaced Yabe as the shortest man on the team.

Of course, Fuchita, who is in the first grade, is still in the development stage. There is still room for development in terms of height in the future.

However, this cannot be considered a disadvantage for the opposing pitcher.

The height of baseball's good ball area depends entirely on the size of the hitter.

Shorter hitters have smaller areas of interest.

Of course, a height of 163 is not uncommon among Japanese college students, and it is not so bad that pitchers can't throw it.

But when Ichihara, who is attached to Chitake Gakusha, faces Fuchida, his best low ball is not considered an advantage.

Fuchida is a left-hand hitter. This is also another advantage of his in this blow.

Pitcher Ichihara threw his first pitch against Fuchida.

He was going to use the slider to attack the hitter inside corner. I didn't expect to miss a shot at such a critical moment.

The ball, without any lateral changes, became a stall sweet ball in the middle of the heart.

Fuchida could not let go of such an opportunity.

Despite his lack of height and strength, the ball was pulled hard into the right field.

The baseball hits the home run and bounces back against the wall.

Lee Wonrang easily stepped on home plate.

Then the island, which started from first base, also bypassed the third base pack.

The return pass from the outfield came to Yamamoto, the second baseman attached to the Sentake Gakusha.

Yamamoto immediately turned around and passed to home plate.

Kojima pounced.

The trapper's gloves pressed down on him first.

“Out！”

The home plate referee makes the decision with his right hand in a fist. In annoyance, Kojima hammered the home plate that he had crushed under him.

This is the end of the attack.

Li Yuanrang stretched out his right hand to his teammate Kojima, who was lying on the ground, and pulled him up.

"Good run."

"If only I could hurry."

Although he couldn't score two points in one go. But in any case, the Peace School still has a preemptive point.。

The score is now 1-0.

Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area.

The substitute brought the catcher armor that had been prepared for him to put it on.

In the rest area on the other side, the superintendent of the large attachment of the Thousand Bamboo School gathered the team members to his side. I don't know whether to summarize the defense of this half game just now or explain the following offensive tactics.
