Chapter 253: Not a Cent Lost

Kojima, the third baseman of the Peace Academy, surpasses most of his peers in terms of basic skills in both striking and guarding. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info only practical experience can not be completely made up for by hard work and talent.

After two outs, the batter must be on base safely, and the runner who runs back to home plate is considered a valid score. The island, which is focused on defense, ignores the basic common sense on this baseball field.

He was overly obsessed with wanting to get the runner running to home plate out. But they forgot that as long as they pass to first base and block the hitter, they can end the opponent's offense.

The score became three to one. The gap widened again to two points.

Of course, this loss of points is not entirely the responsibility of third baseman Kojima alone.

The catcher Li Yuanrang was too "judging people by their appearance". Coupled with the fact that it was already two outs, he didn't expect that the beater would launch a sneak attack to force the score with a short fight.

However, since the loss of points has been caused, he can only use the bat in his hand to save the situation.

Not only Li Yuanrang, but every player in the line of the Peace School did their best to reverse the score.

Fuso's third pitcher is still Shinjiro Kuwahara.

The other party's supervisor, Ohara, had no intention of changing votes at all.

In the seventh inning, Li Yuanrang hit a second home run again. With someone on second and third base, his teammates behind him still couldn't get him back to home plate.

In the eighth game, there was more than one person in the Peace School.

Pitcher Kuwabara's stamina seems to have reached a bottleneck. Several balls in succession, the ball speed was only about 140 kilometers. However, the score has not been rewritten.

Finally in the first half of the last nine innings.,The offense on the side of the Peace School started with the first baton Tokuda.。

The leading side does not need to play the bottom half of the nine innings when attacking back. If this half game cannot be equalized or reversed, the game will end directly.

Kuwabara on the pitcher's mound frowned, squinting at the catcher's code.

Whether it is from the analysis of the data before the game or from the process of the game just now. Kuwabara could see that Tokuda was a difficult hitter.

And now he is still facing the problem of declining physical strength and declining ball power. If you want to solve Tokuda, you have to work together with the entire defensive lineup.

Tokuda can not only fight, but also has a pair of fast legs.

As soon as the ball touches the bat, everything is uncertain.

Winning strikeouts is the safest result.

The first straight ball, one hundred and forty-four kilometers.

You can see the speed of each ball in the semi-finals of the Nishi-Tokyo Games held at Jingu Stadium.

The speed of the ball just now was obviously the result of deliberate fluttering.

However, this speed is far from enough to suppress Tokuda.

The baseball went out of the sideline on third base and became a throw-in.

The second ball is a change ball that is out of the good zone. On the third ball, the ball speed came to 147 kilometers.

It was Kuwabara's fastest shot of the game.

Tokuda swung his bat, and the baseball grazed the edge of the bat, flying straight towards the net behind the catcher.

Pitcher Kuwabara has far more stamina than expected.

Or maybe the pitcher is now bursting with his physical potential.

Kuwabara spent almost all summer on the bench.

He is now a third-grader. After the summer games, they will leave the court for a while and concentrate on finding a way out for themselves.

For this kind of student who relies on the strength of baseball to enter a private prestigious school. Continuing to make baseball the center of gravity is probably the easiest route to go.

The big names in college football are almost entirely private schools.

Whether it's for internal advancement or applying to other schools. Kuwabara needs more convincing results.

That's why he gave his best in today's game.

And Ohara, the third superintendent of Fuso, insisted on not changing votes until now, not out of absolute trust in Kuwabara.

Overseer Oha is a complete consequentialist.

At this year's Summer Games, the Peace Academy was considered a strong team by all opponents.

The current Kuwabara still hasn't let the Peace School Park take advantage of the line. Then there is no reason to replace him.

The number of balls is two good and one bad. The pitcher, Kuwabara, puts the right hand behind him. The fingers are constantly changing grips.

The catcher asked for a slider, and Kuwabara shook his head.

He just wants to shoot straight shots now.

It's not because of willfulness. Purely because a straight ball carries a lighter burden on the opponent's elbow than a change ball.

Kuwabara's current pitch is still of high quality. However, fatigue can greatly increase the probability of losing a shot.

As an unlucky pitcher, Kuwabara misses a shot and nine times out of ten the baseball will fly into the sweet spot and be hit by the hitter.

Toyohara, a second-year catcher, finally guessed his partner's idea. He played a straight ball. Kuwabara nodded in satisfaction.

Another 147-kilometer straight ball. But this time, the beater was already prepared.

Tokuda's swing was not enough to send the baseball to the outfield.

But it's enough to play in the infield.

The third baseman rounded his arm and passed the ball to first base.

Tokuda, who started from a right-hand hitter position far away, stepped on the base pack one step earlier.

Kuwabara sighed and pretended to be calm and used his right foot to sort out the red soil on the pitcher's mound. But the anger in my heart could not be calmed. stepped on the ground several times in quick succession to vent his anger.

"It's almost time to switch, right?"

Li Yuanrang turned his head and asked the Yagi supervisor beside him.

"If it were me, I would definitely change it now."

Overseer Yagi replied.

The third Governor of Fuso, Ohara, called a timeout at this time.

Catchers and infielders, plus substitutes who came to give orders, gathered around the pitcher's mound. The pitcher was not replaced, though.

After the crowd dispersed, Kuwabara made a set of movements to stretch his arms and muscles and continued to prepare to pitch.

Masaoka, the second baton of the Peace Academy, is not a strong hitter.

He is the hitter with the highest hit success rate in the Peace Academy's line.

However, this time, Superintendent Yagi did not make a code of sacrifice.

The competition is in its final stages. What's more, the score behind is still two points. It is obviously not wise to sacrifice a white game to give the opponent an out.

Kuwabara didn't know if it was to save his physical strength for the beaters behind him or if he really ran out of physical strength.

A 139-kilometer straight ball. It's a completely accessible speed for Masaoka.

The left-hand hitter's pull will send the baseball flying to the right side of the field.

The right fielder, who was too far forward, watched as the baseball landed beside him.

Tokuda's speed was certainly enough to get him to third base.

Masaoka didn't want to rush in to give his opponent outs, so he chose to stop at the first base.

The opponent now has to switch pitches.

Tetori, a sophomore who contributed a lot to the team at the striking level, stood on the pitcher's hill in today's game.

The speed of the pitch in the warm-up test alone was close to 150 kilometers. If the shoulders are fully moved, the ball speed and power are bound to be even more impressive.

"This handtori is good at variation ball ......"

Li Yuanrang took the notepad from the substitute player Ibaraki, who was in charge of the information, and turned to the page that he had taken.

In the position of the change ball is written the Chinese character "nothing".

And that's not even the most striking point.

Just by a straight ball. Tetori's defense rate for this year's summer tournament official matches is still zero.

In other words, the pitcher hasn't dropped a point this year.
