Toru Kasai also saw that Li Yuanrang swung his bat and hit the baseball without any fluctuations in his heart. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This is the most obvious high-flying ball trajectory.

Kawanishi turned unhurriedly to look out into the field, the only thing he was worried about was the low-level mistakes that might occur in his teammates who were ordinary college students who had not received an elite baseball education.

However, the fact is that the baseball, which flies slowly along a trajectory that is not far away, has no meaning of falling at all.

Although the level of baseball is average, the left fielder of Jingxi High School, who has excellent math scores, repeatedly corrects the prediction of trajectory and landing point through mental arithmetic.

The left fielder stepped back step by step. Until his back hit the home run wall.

The two wings of Jingu Court 2 are only ninety-one meters apart.

Li Yuanrang's ball was a complete pull. The baseball flies pretty much along the left sideline.

The left fielder now has plenty of time to respond.

If it's a course like Koshien or Hiroshima Mazda, maybe now outfielders can try to climb the fence and reach for the ball.

But not at Jingu Court 2.

The home run wall on Jingu Court 2 is more than one person high, and the average high school fielder can't climb it at all.

The left fielder leaps up with his arms stretched out in vain.

Then I watched as the baseball slowly crossed the home run wall and hit the metal fence of the Shinji Stadium.

Li Yuanrang let go of his left hand, which was holding the bat. Raise your arms high and start running the base.

Almost two-thirds of the seats were filled with the support group of Jingxi High School, which was silent.

In the stadium, there is only the sound of the Peace School Wind Orchestra playing.

In front of the rest area, almost all the members of the Peace School lined up to welcome them. Lee Wonrang and his teammates high-fived one by one, and at the end of the team, unexpectedly stood the team supervising Yagi.

Li Yuanrang stretched out his left hand, but he noticed that Inspector Yagi was raising his hands.

So he had to cooperate with the other party to high-five with both hands.

"Well played! Well played! ”

Overseer Yagi actually said it twice.

This year's Spring Festival competition Peace School played too smoothly.

Today was the first time the ball was suppressed by a pitcher.

For Inspector Yagi, today's Kyosei Taka is probably the last opponent he wants to lose.

Although Kyosai High is a regular in the quarterfinals in the Higashi-Tokyo area. But in the eyes of the laymen of the school management, it is a public school after all.

If he loses to a public school in the competition and is eliminated, it will inevitably affect the ability of Inspector Yagi to speak in front of the principal.

This is especially unacceptable for Yagi Superintendent, who has been in society for many years and has long been smoothed out by office culture.

Just as the School of Peace celebrates the score. The pitcher in the stadium is on the hill and a meeting is underway.

A few minutes later, the players gathered around the pitcher dispersed.

The game continued.

Pitcher Kawasai solved the fifth stick of the Peace Academy. The second half of the next seven innings. Jingxi Gao launched a threatening counterattack.

After paying the price of two outs, Iida in the first and Honma in the third were on third base.

Kawasai, who had a fourth-best base, only needed a good angle of a second home run to save the two points he had lost, and if it was a home run, he could immediately turn the tide of the game.

In this crisis, the Yagi superintendent sent a substitute player, Ibaraki, into the court and conveyed the order to replace the pitcher.

Neither Li Yuanrang nor Yabe had any objections to this.

Even if the situation on the court wasn't so critical, Iyabe's pitch count was almost the time to be transferred to the outfield to rest.

The defensive subordinates were transferred in the manner decided long ago.

Tokuda pitched the ball on the board, Yabe switched to the outfield, and fielder Kawajiri Ritoku took over Tokuda's shortstop position.

Lee Wonrang has full confidence in Tokuda's straight ball. The only problem now is that Tokuda, as the main shortstop, can't have enough time to warm up before going to the plate to pitch.

So Tokuda's first few goals may not be at their best.

The first three balls Li Yuanrang deliberately matched the dodge. Coupled with Tokuda's possession of the ball, which was not accurate in the first place, the number of balls was one good and two bad.

The fourth ball is the key point of this matchup.

Li Yuanrang deliberately shook it when he put out the glove position.

This is the code agreed before the game.

This means that Lee Wonrang gave Tokuda the freedom to go all out.

Tokuda nodded and lifted his left leg slightly. The baseball is thrown from the hand and makes a loud noise when it falls into the catcher's glove. And the beater did not move.

“Strike！”

Li Yuanrang originally put the gloves on the edge of the outer corner with the mentality of gambling.

As a general rule of thumb, Tokuda has less than a 30% chance of being able to throw into the glove range at a high ball speed.

The goal just now was not a perfect shot into the intended target.

However, the deviation of this ball is in the direction of the inside corner. And it's nowhere near enough to put baseball in the sweet spot.

Two good and two bad. The situation is slightly in favor of the defenders.

Li Yuanrang smacked the position of the ball socket of the catcher's glove with his right hand.

When the target is set, he still gives the instruction to throw the ball with all his might.

Runners on third base have begun to gently leave base. Tokuda on the pitcher's mound didn't care about any of that.

It was another all-out throw.

However, Li Yuanrang's left hand did not feel the touch of the baseball falling into the glove.

The beater, Toru Kawanishi, also swung his bat with all his might.

The baseball flew straight to the third baseman.

The starting third baseman for this game Peace School is Kojima, a first-grader.

The newcomer from Saitama Prefecture blocked the baseball with his gloves, but he couldn't catch it.

Iida on third base had almost touched home plate.

Kojima picks up the fallen baseball in time and passes it to first base.

His strong shoulders, which he had been proud of since middle school, saved the garrison.

The beater Kawanishi was blocked before the base bag.

This is the end of Jingxi Gao's counterattack.

The pitcher gave a thumbs up in the direction of Kojima. Kojima himself was a little shy and ran back to the rest area with his head down.

In the eighth inning, although Kawanishi put the hitter on the base twice, he still managed to suppress the back of the Peace School from the end.

And Tokuda let Jingxi High School junior up and down three times.

In the first half of the ninth inning, an unexpected transfer occurred.

Kyosai Takashi had outfielder Iida swap posts with pitcher Kawanishi.

Iida is a left-handed third-grader.

It is expected to be the ace of the school when enrolled. But now he's just the second-best pitcher on the team after Hexi.

This year's Spring Festival was the first time Iida had been on the board.

What does that mean? Hexi should still be able to vote, right? ”

Li Yuanrang in the rest area was a little confused about the intention of the opponent's supervision.

Hexi did pitch more pitches today than in previous games. Now nearly one hundred and forty pitches have been thrown.

However, in the average college game, schools that lack pitchers will burn a trump card. Now the score gap is only two points, and the opponent in the bottom half of the ninth game is still theoretically possible to turn the tables. That's nowhere near the level of the next break.

"It's just a spring meeting, and the other party's set goal should have been completed. There's no need to consume pitchers needlessly. ”

Superintendent Yagi can actually understand the other party's thoughts.

The Spring Festival is not tied to any national convention. The only interest at stake is the seed rights to the Summer Conference.

Both the Peace Academy and Jingxi High School, which reached the semi-finals, have already achieved this goal.

Hexi is in the second grade this year, and there are three national conventions to challenge. He's done with it today.
