Chapter 173: The Second Battle of the Autumn Conference
There was supposed to be a break of nearly a week between the first and second rounds of the Autumn Tokyo Games. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
However, the game at the Peace School Park was postponed for a few or two days due to the rain, so the rest time was also lost for a few days.
Fortunately, in the last game, the pitching part was divided between three pitchers. It's not a problem to recover stamina.
"It seems that this autumn will be the third round of battles......
In between training, several new recruits were studying the bracket.
"Three rounds of war? Isn't it that the second battle hasn't been fought yet? ā
Li Yuanrang, who was passing by, leaned over.
"Don't worry about the second battle, even the Keming Pavilion won anyway. However, if you fight three times, you will inevitably run into Hayata Sho. ā
Ibaraki, who is new to the department, may be a little too confident.
The opponent of the Peace School in the second round is not simple.
This is a series of schools that are part of Fuso University.
In the summer, it belongs to the Fuso Osetaya in the Higashi-Tokyo area.
Although, more often than not, this school is known for teaching in the liberal arts. And the most famous sports club on campus is the football club, not the baseball club.
But in the 70s of the twentieth century, they had a record of winning in the first appearance of the spring armor.
Of course, there are also reasons for being despised that Fuso Daisetagani has been sluggish in the past ten years. This summer's Higashi-Tokyo tournament was defeated by a large margin in the first round.
"It's the Fuso series again."
Li Yuanrang didn't know how many times he had seen their names on the battle table.
"Anyway, a tenth of the autumn conference is them."
Six of the 64 teams participating in the Autumn Games were from Fuso University's series schools.
Of course, the highest call for winning the championship is still the third university of Fuso University.
It's just that the Peace School is divided into different halves in this draw.,It's impossible to meet them again before the finals.ć
The strongest team in this half of the division right now is Hayata Commercial College.
If the Peace Academy breaks through in the second round, there is probably a chance that it will meet Hayada Sho in the third round.
Of course, the first thing to do is to break through in the second round.
There is not much information about the current Fuso Daisetagaya, and there is not much information about the Peace Academy.
None of the lineups of the summer conference were left. The main force is basically first-year students. The overseer is also new.
Both of the group qualifiers were won early. And in the first battle, they also advanced with a score of 7-0 in eight games.
Despite the fact that the opponents in all three games are general public schools.
However, at least it shows that Fuso Daisetagaya is now on the rise.
The second round takes place over the weekend.
The location is Teak Park Course in Hachioji City.
Built in 2000, the stadium is one of the newest venues used for college baseball games in Tokyo.
What's more, because it is located in the suburbs, the area is also relatively large.
There are more than 120 meters in the middle of the field and nearly 100 meters in the wings.
"It's a pitch that's good for pitchers."
During the warm-up event, Li Yuanrang said to his partner Yabe.
"Not necessarily."
The expanse of the field's field naturally prevents baseball from being easily hit by a home run outside the wall.
But on the other hand, it also poses a new test to the team's outfield defense.
The mobility of the outfield of the Peace School is now severely lacking. That's a disadvantage in the big game.
The match was led by Fuso Daisetagani.
Hachioji is some distance from Setagaya. In addition, the baseball club itself is not a popular club in their school.
The only spectators cheering on the offensive side seemed to be the baseball bench players and the family members of the players on the field.
There was no one cheering on the blow.
Fuso Osetagani's line is basically right-handed, including Koike, the stalwart of the first bat.
From this point alone, it can also be seen that this school does not actually have a baseball special admission.
The only information that Li Yuanrang can use as a reference is the strike data of the three games in the previous autumn conference.
Despite the fact that the team won all three games by a landslide. But as the first baseman with the most bat chances, Koike only had one second home run and a four-bad run.
Plus the height is just over 170. It doesn't look like a power fighter.
"Let's try the inside corner height first."
If you don't know where to throw it, try a high inside or low outside angle.
This is one of the non-methods of matching the ball in amateur games.
Of course, the premise is that the pitcher can actually throw the ball into the corresponding position according to the catcher's requirements.
Akio Yabe's straight ball is less than 130 kilometers. However, in terms of possession, it is still possible to quadruple the good ball area.
If the shot is placed in a position with a high inside corner, it can also give the hitter a certain sense of speed.
Lee Wonrang made the first goal based on this idea.
The beater Koike swings the stick easily. The white ball flies straight into the outfield.
The ball was deflected in the direction of the left field, but the landing point was more or less the defensive area of the stalwarts.
Although it is not visible from the outside. In fact, Donald Hirata, who is tall and tall, is the most dynamic of the three outfielders in the Peace Academy.
Thankfully, it's in Donald's zone.
Baseball has a stalwarts glove that is plugged into the stalwart without danger.
"Well played!"
The sound of praise came from the rest area of Fuso Osetaya. Even Li Yuanrang, who was squatting behind home plate, could hear it clearly.
This is their supervising Morita's compliment to his own players.
In all fairness, in terms of swing speed, Koike hit this ball really well. The failure to hit a hitter was simply due to a lack of accuracy in hitting the ball and a lack of tricky angles in the baseball's flight.
The second and third sticks Iwakura and the third stick Urawa were also very resolute swings.
Neither hit a hit. But the attitude of swinging the stick is very resolute.
Urawa, in particular, the first baseman, hit strong throw-ins from the stands twice.
At the end, he also hit a deep fly ball from the outfield.
"Alas! Just a little bit! ā
Urawa picked up the bat at his feet and sighed.
He thought he had hit a home run, so he made a handsome swing.
"This dangerous maneuver should be avoided in the future!"
This is the referee's warning.
"How do I think every ball is going for home runs?"
Li Yuanrang, who returned to the rest area, told Superintendent Yagi his thoughts.
"Definitely. In the previous games, Fuso Daisetagani relied on long scores to score. ā
Ibaraki, a substitute player in charge of the data book, came up with the data as proof.
"It's not about long hits, they're going for home runs on every ball. Scoring is just a by-product. ā
This is the opinion of the Yagi overseer.
"Of course."
Yagi continued.
"If it's this Morita overseer, it's not surprising that such a disciple is taught."
"Did you and the other party's overseer know each other before?"
Li Yuanrang asked.
"Of course I know him, but I just don't know if he remembers me."
Masahiro Morita is over sixty years old. More than 40 years ago, the only time Fuso Daisetagani won the Spring Armor championship was the team's four bats and ace.
He majored in journalism in college and later became a television anchor.
Superintendent Yagi once participated as a guest on a talk show he hosted, and in the position of superintendent of high school baseball, he is as new as Yagi.
