The opponent of the five-round battle is the metropolitan large branch temple. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoThis is one of a series of metropolitan universities located all over Japan.

Akio Yabe, who had only one day off in between, threw six rounds in this match. The next three rounds were in charge of Tokuda.

Although at the beginning of his tenure, Superintendent Yagi vowed to engage in the division of pitchers within the team. But in the face of the reality of college baseball, he can only try to let his two trusted pitchers eat more innings.

The next step is from five rounds to the semi-finals. The team had a few more days off. In this way, it is only natural that Yabe will continue to be the starter in the semi-finals.

In the face of the private famous Chongzhen School Park,Yabe is not easy.。 The opponent's experienced play line does not seem to be unfamiliar with the two-seam speedball. Lee Wonrang must use more colorful balls to restrain his opponents. In the sixth game, Yabe's ball count was already over 100.

The score was a 5-3 lead for the Peace Academy.

In baseball, it's a score that can be overturned at any time.

"How about letting Tokuda cast in the next three games."

After getting the last number of outs in the bottom half of the sixth. Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area. Take off the catcher's mask and sit directly next to Superintendent Yagi without taking off his protective gear.

This kind of advice to the superintendent is not just for the sake of Yabe's current physical condition. It also takes into account the physical reserves of the pitchers in the later games.

"A team like Chongzhen School Park,Look at Tokuda's pitching three games in a row and you'll touch the doorway, right?"

Tokuda Ball's pitching style as a pitcher relies on the speedball. It's no problem to deal with ordinary college hitters. But in the face of a strong team that has seen the world, it is easier to be touched by the opponent.

Because the performance of the main Yabe as a pitcher is becoming more and more stable. Tokuda himself was more inclined to secure his main position as a shortstop.

Most of the winter training was spent on striking and guarding training.

Progress in pitching is more based on physical growth.

If you want the Yagi supervisor to hand over the game to the rescue pitchers with peace of mind, you need to take more leads.

on the playing field. After two outs, the Peace School hit two hits in quick succession.

Runners occupy first and third base.

Li Yuanrang, who didn't expect that he would have the opportunity to play in this half game, hurriedly took off his catcher equipment and stood in the strike zone.

A high slider is fished out behind the shortstop. On base, two teammates returned to home plate.

At the end of the half, the lead was extended to four points.

Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area. Silently began to put on his catcher armor.

"Kudo, go warm up!"

A four-point advantage is not an absolute lead. But Superintendent Yagi felt that this was probably enough.

First-grader left-pitcher Rattan took over the pitcher's mound.

Inspector Yagi gave very clear conditions to Li Yuanrangti.

As soon as the opponent scores, or if there are two runners on base, they will immediately switch again.

"Don't worry, I'll let him pitch until the end of the game."

Li Yuanrang did what he said. Under his guidance, Kudo survived the seventh and eighth innings without danger.

However, the situation changed in the second half of the ninth inning.

The first hitter hit an infield high fly ball and went out. But the next two hitters hit bases in quick succession.

The situation on the field has evolved into a condition agreed upon by Superintendent Yagi - two people on base.

Li Yuanrang turned his head to look at his own rest area. Superintendent Yagi shook his head slightly.

The signal is clear, no substitutions.

So Li Yuanrang decided to calm down and deal with the beater in front of him.

The opponent had also hit a hit in previous games. What he's waiting for is clearly a change ball.

Li Yuanrang used a slippery ball outside the good ball area to lure the opponent to swing the bat.

The baseball is swept out of bounds.

This is followed by a straight ball that is not in the same way as the opponent's taste.

The beaters were indifferent.

After two good shots, there may be only a thin line away from the opponent's exit.

Kudo's slider shot well. The strategy of drilling into the inside corner from the good ball area when facing the right pitcher is aggressive. Maybe it's easy to get strikeouts.

However, Li Yuanrang's strategy is more efficient.

A curved ball pressed against the knee at a line height.

Kudo's possession of the ball wasn't that precise. But since the target of the hitter's sniper is to change the ball, now it is a scene of two good balls. The chances of the opponent swinging the stick are not small.

The baseball hit the bat and hit the ground, but fortunately it didn't bounce much.

The pitcher receives the ball at the second landing point. Taking advantage of his left pitcher, he easily passed to third base.

The second one is out.

Next, Kojima, a strong third baseman with strong shoulders, sent a straight ball straight into the first baseman's glove. The opposing hitter made a full effort to save the base but still couldn't catch up.

Nice double kill, three outs. The game is over.

The alarm sounded at Jingu Stadium. Spectators, who almost filled half of the stands, took out their phones to take pictures of the scoreboard and share it on social networks.

It's already summer vacation. As the baseball club's performance became more and more stable. Many students of the Peace School will take the initiative to go to the shrine for the team without the mobilization of the principal. There are even fan groups from other schools.

"Two more."

On the bus on the way back, Superintendent Yagi stretched out two fingers and said to everyone.

If it is last year's main player Fukushima Ichihei, things like "there are two games left" or "the last one is out" must not be broken.

But Overseer Yagi was not so superstitious.

At this stage of the competition, Supervisor Yagi's self-confidence has also increased much higher than before.

Today's opponent is Chongzhen School Park.。 In addition to Fuso No. 3 and Wasatasho, the three strong teams in the western Tokyo area are the three private schools of Chongsada, Komeiyo High School, and Katsumeikan.

This year's Chongzhen School Park is not weak.。

In the first half of the game, the two teams played back and forth. And in the second half, especially a wave of attacks in the seventh inning, the result of the game was laid early.

When Supervisor Yagi first took over the team, he regarded the team's Koshien appearance last year as a unlikely event.

And the current team is fully qualified to win the championship in Nishitokyo.

These conditions are manifold.

Yabe or Lee Motorang is the strength of the original baseball club players. The level of special enrollment of new students in the department this year.

There is also the Yagi overseer, who doesn't want to brag too much, but he is complacent in his heart to coach at the level of scheduling.

If you face Chongzhen School Park, you can play at such a level.。 The following matches are also promising.

The opponent in the semifinals of the Peace School was Fuso, who was third. One of the best private restaurants in the Nishitokyo area.

Yagi himself has long regarded the next match as an early final.

He looked at Yabe, who had an ice pack wrapped around his shoulder. I hesitated for a moment, but finally made a decision.

There is only one day to rest before the next game. Akio Yabe still had to take the lead.

This scheduling strategy is not in line with Yagi's own assertions. But there's no way around it.

College baseball is played in the summer, and Tokyo is a first-class theater that must play eight rounds to determine the champion.

The problem of a tight schedule is clearly something that every school has to deal with.

It's not just the Peace Academy.
