Chapter 143: Approaching the Score

Despite being confident in his own blow, Eima couldn't hit Fukushima's pitch. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the fourth goal after two good and one bad, Jiangma sneaked up on a short strike in an attempt to create a safe touch.

"Even though it's a right-hand hitter, the speed of the first base from the strike zone is definitely not inferior to most left-hand hits."

This is the information that Li Yuanrang saw on the profile before the game.

The ball that Jiangma hit was perfect. However, the black soil in the infield, which had just absorbed a lot of water, helped the defenders.

The baseball rolls a lot slower than usual. finally stopped in front of Li Yuanrang.

Although the speed of Jiangma is amazing. But it's all in time.

Maybe less than a third of a second before him. Baseball passes into the first baseman's glove.

One out.

Fuso Daihida's line can be described as full firepower at the county conference. Almost everyone has a beat rate of more than 40%.

But in the face of Li Yuanrang and Fukushima Ichihei, the shooting partner. The next two hitters didn't show much either.

Soon, three up and three down offense and defense exchanges.

Neither team was able to hit a hit in the first inning.

The situation has been maintained.

The first hit of the game came in the top half of the four-inning.

Masaoka, the second baseman, was the first hitter in the inning.

A sharp slider to the inside corner of the left hitter was half-luckily pulled to the right outfield.

The ball was supposed to go out of bounds.

However, on cloudy days, the angle of the sea breeze in Koshien is slightly different from usual.

Today's wind direction is actually closer to a crosswind.

From the side of first base to the side of third base. Bursts of irregularity blow.

The moment Masaoka hit the ball, the wind happened to be strong.

Baseball was just left in bounds.

Because of this, when Li Yuanrang hit the second time, it was another situation where there were runners on first base.

"Again, bad balls are useless to me."

As soon as Li Yuanrang walked into the strike zone, he first said this to the catcher.

According to his character, this slightly provocative language does not fit in the usual style.

The reason why he spoke like this today Li Yuan didn't quite understand it for a while.

I guess I subconsciously want the game to start as soon as possible.

The intermittent light rain will start to fall heavily at any time.

If it rains heavily seven innings ago, the match will be declared void and replayed at a later date.

On the other hand, if it rains heavily after seven innings, the score at the end of the game will become the final score.

Li Yuanrang did not want to see the above two situations.

He wants to make a straight decision within the nine-inning range.

Catcher Saito responded to Lee with an inside knuckle fork.

The ball was a few centimeters below the height of the knee, which was considered a bad ball.

"Look, I've said it's useless."

Li Yuanrang stood motionless in the strike zone, and there was no sign of swinging his bat.

"It was a good goal."

Saito is not lying. His gloves were originally placed in the good ball zone.

However, for the pitcher's sister lane, the amount of change in the ball is not something that can be controlled at will.

That's why his strikeouts and quadruples coexist.

From the second goal, Saito scored two good balls in succession with two diagonal balls. However, the pitcher's sister trail then began throwing consecutive bad balls.

It's not a pitcher's dodge. In fact, on the contrary, Sister Xiaolu is in great shape right now, so the ball thrown is beyond her imagination.

The slider went into base with great force, and the straight ball smashed into the catcher's glove.

The only problem is that none of these powerful balls can be thrown into the good zone.

After two good and three bad, the sixth ball is a fast straight ball that goes straight to the high inside corner.

It was clearly a long-awaited decisive goal.

In the face of the fastball at this angle, Li Yuanrang had to open his body to play semi-openly, and swing the stick early to hit the baseball.

But this time, just as he was about to swing his bat, a signal was sent from his brain to his body.

In this instant, the instinct-based signal is certainly not a complex message like "this is a bad ball". Rather, it's a simple stop signal.

Both hands finally stopped the car in time.

The ball slices closer to the body than expected. Falls inside the trapper's glove.

A bad ball without a doubt. The position of the inner half of the ball is more than the edge of the good ball area.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so close to the beater."

Catcher Saito apologizes to the hitter for his slightly dangerous ball.

Li Yuanrang looked up at the big screen. The ball has a speed of 150 km/h.

"That's a lot of speed."

Before walking to first base, Li Yuanrang said to the opponent's catcher.

"I've shot faster in practice."

The pitcher's sister doesn't throw every ball that fast. However, Li Yuanrang knocked the two 146 and 7-kilometer speedballs in front of him out of bounds one after another.

In the last ball of this decisive victory, Sister Xiaolu unconsciously used all her strength.

It's a pity that the deviation of less than half a ball, Li Yuanrang was escorted to base.

In any case, the current situation is that no one is out, and there are runners on second and third base. It was the closest Heping Gakuen came to scoring since the start of the game.

Catcher Saito called a timeout at this point, and he ran up to the pitcher's mound to talk to his partner sister Koji.

After the resumption of the game, it was Fukushima Ichihei who stood in the hitting zone to stand in the fourth baton of the Peace Academy.

Fukushima didn't know what his opponent's shooting partner had just talked about.

However, compared to his last hit, the pitcher's straight ball now seems to be more powerful.

Today's sister trail is in excellent condition. Against Fukushima, the winner was decided almost entirely with a straight ball.

The third goal after one good and one bad. Fukushima finally felt the way to hit the ball.

A straight ball with a low outside corner is hit by a bat.

But the ball was not shot away, but smashed directly into the ground of the infield and bounced high.

The ball has landed, and runners on first and second base are now forced into the base.

Fukushima himself had to move to first base.

The pitcher's sister went one step forward to receive a second drop in baseball, and he opted to pass to the more dangerous third base. Then the third baseman passes second base.

Li Yuanrang's running speed is not fast in the team, and he didn't have time to hit base.

One blow from Fukushima created two outs.

The next Yabe also failed to make a base.

Within minutes, Fuso Daihida got three outs to resolve the crisis.

"If you throw this ball at me next time, you will definitely be able to hit the outfield."

Fukushima, who returned to the rest area, felt a little resentful. He felt that he had already grasped the rhythm of swinging the bat.

Only slight differences led to a completely different outcome on the blow.

"Next time, even if it's a bad ball, I'll try to swing the bat."

Li Yuanrang was not reconciled to being escorted in this half game. If the result just now was not a net but a hit, Masaoka, who had a batter in the previous one, might have been able to at least hit third base. The chaos created by the Fukushima shot was enough for the runner to score on base.

"Next time?"

Akio Yabe looked up at the weather, and the dark clouds gathered again.

According to the current progress of the game, the next time it will be the turn of the Peace Academy's three, four, and five bats, I'm afraid it won't be until the seventh game. (To be continued.) )
