No one in this team is more hungry for victory than Ichihei Fukushima. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Despite reaching the quarterfinals in West Tokyo, Fukushima has basically been qualified for university sports special admissions. But how far can the final summer of third grade go? Fukushima is looking forward to himself.

Lee walked back to home plate from the pitcher's mound. Instead of crouching, he stood directly in the outer corner.

Four bad balls in a row were thrown from Fukushima's hands.

A baton outfielder to German business walked to first base. Now they occupy the entire base.

However, the situation on the field is not as rosy as it seems.

Second batter, second baseman Hamana.

Zhide Shang is now facing the same problem that the Peace School encountered before.

The core of their infield guard has only a small chance of hitting the ball to the outfield.

But there was no one on the bench who could replace Hamana defensively.

For Shimazaki, the ace who relied on guarding to capture the number of outs. More reliance on the infield than other pitchers.

Maybe Hamana isn't a weak stick. The batting rate at the level of pure record is very beautiful.

But this is on two premises.

First of all, striking sacrifice is not counted. Strike rate data is not affected.

Before the two outs, as long as there was a runner on first base, Hamana, as the second baseman who advanced, would choose to hit the sacrifice nine times out of ten.

On the other hand. If there is no one on base, more than 40 percent of Hamana's hits are infield hits. This is certainly a reflection of his base-running ability.

But now this two-out, runner fills up the base pack in the case. Any in-bounds roll will cause runners to be forced to base up. Even if Hamana himself has the strength of 100 meters and 11 seconds, it will not help.

Peace School wants to end this half-game, just grab one more out.

And if the German business wants to score, it must at least let the ball fly to the outfield to land.

If it weren't for the same situation in the previous match, our side had suffered the same situation. Li Yuanrang probably wouldn't have understood Fukushima's intention to take the initiative to send the escort anyway.

And now, he looked at the opponent's batter Hamana holding the bat, and he had confidence in this matchup.

Now it's important to keep the ball down.

The first ball is a curveball that drills into the low inside corner. Li Yuanrang felt that sometimes the batter with a short grip in this position would want to swing the bat.

However, Hamana did not react.

Then there are two straight balls in a row with low outside corners. One is in the good zone and the other is bad.

For batters with short grips, the range of sniping from the outside corner is limited. Therefore, Hamana did not swing the bat on the above two balls.

The number of balls is two good and one bad. Hama's name was suspended.

He exited the strike zone and held his hands at the base of the bat. He swung hard twice before continuing the game.

Now the difference on the field is one point. And there are still several rounds to play. Being able to move back the score right away is of course a good thing for Zhide businessmen. But if you miss the opportunity, it's not hopeless.

After thinking about it, Hamana felt that it would be difficult for him to hit a long hit with a short bat. So an adjustment was made on the fly.

In terms of probability, the probability of hitting the ball in this unskilled way is now greatly reduced.

But the ensuing increase in force and centrifugal force also slightly increases the likelihood of the ball being hit into the outfield.

Li Yuanrang didn't want to risk it in the high position, so he still chose the ball path with a low outside corner. However, the ball type became a slideball.

The ball didn't make it into the good zone. But the beaters were still lured out of the stick.

Hamana temporarily changed the way he held the bat, which reduced his control when swinging the stick.

He hit the bottom edge of the baseball, and the ball flew straight above home plate.

Li Yuanrang stood up and took off his mask. Caught the baseball firmly.

Three outs. This half-inning is over.

"It's still a bit dangerous in retrospect, if the opponent doesn't change the way they hold the bat, the ball may hit the core."

On the way back to the rest area, Li Yuanrang talked to his teammates with palpitations.

"If he continues to hold the bat short, I'm afraid he won't be able to hit this ball at all."

Pitcher Kazuhei Fukushima on the mound also saw the blow just now. The location where Hamana's bat hits the baseball is at the head of the bat.

If he continues to swing with a short grip on the bat. He would never have hit a slippery ball that was out of the good zone.

The right to attack is now back on the side of the School of Peace.

This is a perfect hit from the first Miyagi.

Despite the targeted training before the game, the attacker on the offensive side has not yet been able to adapt to the opponent's current pitcher.

Both Miyagi and Masaoka are not slow players in the Peace School team.

But in the face of Shimazaki's slightly bizarre speedball system, the infield rolling ball played by the two failed to convert into an infield hit.

Li Yuanrang has his own way.

He regained his early habit of hitting baseball, keeping an eye on the ball until the end. But the eyes were so tight that they forgot to swing the bat on the first ball.

The second ball was a bad ball and was put through.

In the next third ball, Li Yuanrang aimed at a low ball from the outside corner. Pushed the ball towards the right outfield.

It's finally not the inner wilderness rolling the earth.

But because of the way he started pushing and beating at the last minute, the power was insufficient. There seems to be no possibility that baseball will fly off the field.

And the flight angle of this ball is not tricky.

Sakyo Katayama, who is not slow to run, is now guarding the outer field defense area. He quickly moved to the landing point.

The baseball fell into Katayama's glove.

In just a few minutes, the attack of this half-game of the Peace School Park was terminated.

"Do you want to do it again?"

Li Yuanrang, who ran back to the rest area to change into catcher equipment and prepared to go on the field to guard, said this to Fukushima. His gaze looked at the other party's rest area.

Fukuman Ochiai is adjusting his condition there.

The blow on the sixth inning, to the German businessman, started from the third stick Ochiai.

"Anyway, now that the bag is empty, he can score a point at best."

Whether it's hitting a home run, or being sent back to score after dropping off base. In the current situation, the threat he can pose is actually only one point.

What's more, Yukio Kaneko, who is the fourth stick, is not an idle person. Escorting three bats to catch four bats.,Peace School has also encountered it in previous games.。 Opponents don't always take advantage.

"And this tactic should be saved for when it is valuable."

Fukushima added.

Only then did Li Yuanrang realize that there was something wrong with his words just now. Fukushima doesn't want to give the impression of being afraid of a showdown.

Although the escort of the last game was proposed by Fukushima Ichihei on his own initiative. And Fukushima doesn't mind throwing four bad balls to keep it away.

But blindly escorting opponents to the baseball is still a despised behavior in college baseball culture.

What's more, although Fukushima Ippei is rarely emphasized on this, he is still the ace of the team wearing the number one. He's eager to take on a high-profile hitter like Ochiai.

This is not only an opportunity to show his strength, but also a test of himself.
