After the base bag was emptied, perhaps the pressure was released, and the defense of the Peace School became steady. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Tokuda not only relied on strikeouts to quickly get the last number of outs in the eight innings.

The game in the ninth inning did not continue to drop points.

In the bottom half of the ninth inning, the score was 5-4. The School of Peace is one point behind. But the situation is not too hopeless.

The offense of this half-game started with the fourth batter Li Yuanrang.

"Relax! If you can score two points in this half game, it will be a reversal and a goodbye victory. ”

Inspector Yagi's words are simply contradictory.

If he really expects Li Yuanrang to relax, he shouldn't emphasize the goal of reversing goodbye later.

However, Li Yuanrang also understands the difficulties of supervision.

As a theoretical college baseball critic. Tomohito Yagi doesn't have any coaching experience. Including today's game, Supervisor Yagi's role in the team after taking office has been quite positive overall.

But it's unrealistic to expect a single supervisor to bridge the huge gap in strength between the two teams.

Lee entered the strike zone under the watchful eyes of his teammates.

This hitter, he gave himself the goal of hitting a long shot that hit more than a second home run. Of course, it's better to have a home run.

Now the difference in points between the two teams is one point. This gap is actually a score that Li Yuanrang can catch up with with his own strength.

The opponent's pitcher has shot almost the entire game, and if he does make it to the playoffs, he may not be able to maintain his current ball speed and possession.

So after the score is tied, it's too late to think about winning.

Pitcher Komuro threw the first shot in the bottom half of nine innings against Lee Wonrang.

It's an inside corner speedball.

Because it is thrown by a horizontal pitcher, the angle is also different from the speedball of a regular pitcher.

But for Li Yuanrang, this kind of speed ball with a speed of 135 kilometers is not very difficult to play now.

Even though it was an inside corner that he wasn't very good at, the ball was drawn by the bat. Fly flat towards third base.

The third baseman tries to intercept the baseball. But it didn't work out.

The ball flew into the outfield, but unfortunately it was out of bounds when it landed.

The first kick was a throw-in, not a special start.

But on the second ball, Hayada Shang's strategy made Li Yuanrang unable to understand.

Catcher Oya stood up and moved to the outer corner.

This is the most obvious escort code.

"How can there be a guarantee from the second ball!"

Li Yuanrang asked Daya with a little dissatisfaction.

"It's an overseer's directive, and it has nothing to do with me. You're also a catcher, so you know that. ”

Li Yuanrang glanced at his opponent's rest area.

The other party's Matsumoto supervisor hurriedly turned his gaze away to avoid looking at Li Yuanrang.

The pitcher's cab starts throwing away bad shots from the outside corner.

One, two, three.

When it came to the fourth, Li Yuanrang swung his bat vigorously into the air.

It's a good goal, of course.

The number of balls became two good and three bad full balls.

"One more good ball will strike me out, so let's pitch seriously."

Li Yuanrang said to the catcher Daya beside him.

And this behavior was warned by the referee.

Mr. Lee's move was seen as a provocation.

In order not to cause more negative effects on the team. On the sixth ball, Li Yuanrang had no choice but to honestly watch the baseball enter the catcher's glove. He was escorted to base.

It seems that the outcome of the game was decided at this point.

Tian Gu, the fifth baseman who followed Li Yuanrang, hit the baseball hard into the outfield. But it's exactly where the stalwart can reach out.

Donald, who was the next sixth bat, could see that he had tried his best to suppress his urge to swing the bat. But I still got a strikeout.

Hayata got two outs in an instant.

The batter at the seventh batter was supposed to be third baseman Kawasaki. And the overseer of Yagi changed to a substitute at this time.

There weren't many players on the bench at the School of Peace who were suited for this task.

Yagi's choice was Ibaraki, a rookie who only joined the baseball team this fall.

Ibaraki, who has little experience in sports clubs, is a good student who studies hard. I also like to use my brain about baseball.

This is probably the reason why Overseer Yagi chose him as the herald.

And at a time like this, I'm afraid that Superintendent Yagi is just trying his luck.

Ibaraki was standing in the strike zone, and even Lee Wonrang, who was on first base, could see that his legs were shaking.

The opponent's first throw was obviously a bit low. But Ibaraki still wanted to swing his stick and chase after him.

The baseball was fished out of bounds in the left field and went into the stands.

For the first time, I was able to hit the ball so far in actual combat, and Ibaraki himself had an expression of disbelief.

And the other party began to get serious.

The second and third balls are two variation balls.

Ibaraki didn't react at all.

The number of balls becomes two good and one bad.

On the fourth ball, the bat finally hit the baseball again. But it was nowhere near as powerful as the first goal.

The ball was front for the first baseman, and Lee Won had just taken a few steps from the start. The first baseman received a baseball and stepped on the base.

Three outs. The bottom half of the ninth inning ended without drama.

……

Li Yuanrang doesn't quite remember what happened after the match. It's about a routine like the players of both sides lining up to salute and then greeting the spectators.

When he came back to his senses, he was already on the bus on the way back.

"It's over?"

Li Yuanrang asked Yabe beside him.

"What's the end?"

"This fall."

If they are eliminated in the summer convention, the losing side will always say that their summer is over.

That's a well-lived statement. Because once the summer conference is out, the third-year contestants have completed the competition tasks of their entire college careers. Naturally, it was the end of college baseball life.

But autumn is not the same.

"It's so easy to finish, and then we have to continue training every day, and I guess there will be a full practice game in November."

College baseball also has its own winter break. Between December and March, teams are banned from playing outside for three months and one week.

This rule is not so much about protecting players from injury during the winter game, but rather about taking care of fair play for teams with different climates in different places.

The climate of Okinawa, Kyushu, and some Shikoku regions is actually a year-round place where outdoor sports can be practiced. However, snow sometimes falls in Hokkaido and Tohoku at the end of October. Not to mention the cold months of December and January.

Therefore, the ban on foreign competitions in winter is actually mainly a kind of fairness protection for schools in these cold areas in the north.

As for the Kanto region, where the Peace School is located, it is not cold, and occasionally it snows, but it is difficult to accumulate.

In December, temperatures often rise above 10 degrees.

Winter training is not a problem. The indoor practice area of the School of Peace is heated. Even if it snows, it won't delay training.
