Chapter 86: No suspense

After Miyagi got on base, Masaoka in the second baton did not adopt a strike tactic. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Although it was not visible on the surface, pitcher Tsurutani's possession of the ball was a big drop from the start of the game.

This is probably the result of an unstable state of mind.

Now the good and bad balls thrown by the opponent are simply black and white, and it is easy to distinguish.

Masaoka waited for one good and three bad.

The next fifth ball was a good goal.

If you keep waiting, the escort will almost certainly come.

But this ball is so sweet that Masaoka is reluctant to let it go.

The level flight hit that passed between the first and second bases turned the situation on the field into a situation where the first and third bases were running.

The third batter who then came on the court Koki Tian thought he had the talent of a home run striker. Facing every shot thrown, swing the bat with the mentality of hitting a home run.

However, both consecutive balls were missed.

The next third ball was a bad ball. didn't wait for Tagu to make a gesture to swing his stick. The ball had hit his hip.

Tian Gulen froze for a second, then fell into the blow with an exaggerated movement, and pointed to the part where he was hit to show the referee.

It's a dead ball that couldn't be more obvious than anything. But he still doesn't plan to let go of this opportunity to perform.

"Tian Gu, he's okay."

Yabe in the rest area was a little worried about the situation of his teammates.

"It's fine in that position, the thickest part of the body. If it's Tian Gu, I'm afraid it's thicker than the others. ”

Captain Kazuki Fukushima has been playing as a central hitter all year round, and there are many opportunities for opponents to attack the inside corner. As a result, I have encountered a lot of dead balls.

No one in the team has a better say in the consequences of being hit by the ball in various parts of his body than him.

Tsurutani on the pitcher's hill bowed and apologized, and even after the referee made the decision, Tako rolled a few more laps on the court.

When he was slightly exaggerated, he limped to first base. The situation on the field has become a full base with no one out.

Walking into the strike zone was Li Yuanrang, who temporarily served as the fourth baton.

The teammates in the rest area all stood up at this point.

"If you play this ...... now"

"Don't say it!"

Ichihei Fukushima is actually a slightly superstitious person. One of the dogmas he embraces on the pitch is that if a record is about to be achieved, it must not be broken in words.

However, his worries were actually superfluous for Li Yuanrang.

The current Li Yuanrang is rarely affected by the pressure on the court. If there's one psychological factor that can affect his strike, it's off the pitch.

Pitcher Takeshi Tsurutani almost threw the ball with all his strength.

The speed of the ball is close to 140 kilometers. But possession of the ball is left to fate.

"It's a shame that this catcher still catches the ball."

A straight ball from the outside corner, catcher Shimura almost received it with a side pounce. It didn't even form a violent investment.

Fukushima in the rest area has to be amazed.

"This catcher, I'm afraid it's a lot better than the score on the field now."

Yabe, who is also a catcher, actually focused on the opponent's tactics and matching throughout the game. The current score is really caused by the weak pitcher lineup of the opposing team. There weren't too many problems with the performance of Catcher Shimura.

"It's a pity, if you have a great pitcher, you can definitely go far with a four-point shot in five innings."

Fukushima said.

"But those four points were taken from me, so they can't be considered to be of reference value."

Akio Yabe has not been confident in his ability as a pitcher.

"Yabe, you need to know that in a collegiate game, your type of pitcher is actually more pressing."

"Oh? However, the maximum project in Tsurugu is more than 140 kilometers. ”

"He's just an infielder with a strong shoulder. If it weren't for such a team, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been pushed to the pitcher's hill at all. ”

Kazuhei Fukushima was just an infielder with strong shoulders. It was also because of the team's lack of pitchers that the pitchers were changed to pitchers in the last six months of middle school. As a pitcher, it is actually an unexpected gain to have such results as now.

"But as a fielder, I'm afraid it's top-notch at the university level."

"That's right."

Fukushima nodded.

On the playing field, a low-lying curveball bounced off home plate.

Catcher Shimura blocked the baseball with his body in time. Didn't let the ball fall behind him.

The number of balls is already zero good and three bad. It seems that the four bad extrusions are about to be formed.

The fourth ball is thrown, and it is still not a good ball.

It's a straight ball that passes over the high outside corner.

Although putting the ball over can get a safe. But this ball is almost the area where Li Yuanrang is best at swinging.

He shot the bad ball, and it was an all-out swing with the aim of hitting a home run.

The baseball was hit without any suspense and slowly flew into the outfield. Finally smashed on the lower edge of the scoreboard.

Lee Wonrang's second shot in this game, which was a full run goodbye home run.

Fifteen to four, the game ended early.

Li Yuanrang raised his right hand and stepped on each base.

His teammates rushed out of the rest area and lined up next to home plate to wait for him to return.

Li Yuanrang high-fived everyone. A few even rushed up to hug him.

"Sweat too much! All right! Don't hug it! ”

Unlike those teammates who have participated in sports clubs since childhood, Li Yuanrang, as an only child, has almost played with him since he was a child.

Although baseball is one of his big hobbies now, he still doesn't accept the way the baseball club celebrates sports.

Players from both teams salute in line. After greeting the audience, the pitcher from Higashimurayama Gakuen came to greet Issei Fukushima, who did not play today.

"You're the Fukushima player who threw a no-hitter game, right, I heard that the coach of Keida went to your school to watch your training a while ago? Are you planning to go to Kyungdae after graduation? ”

"I've only come to see it once, and it's too early to talk about the university."

"Although our school is not a series of early university schools, there are one or two places every year that can be recommended to early university. Therefore, the chances of the baseball club members going to the early college are relatively high. If you go to Kyung University, we may still play each other in the Six Universities Alliance in the future. ”

"Our school doesn't recommend places, and we have to take the exam to go to Qingda."

"I'm going to use the test too, and I'm going to tell the superintendent that I'll give the recommended place to Shimura. He's a good catcher, but it's a pity that he can only be paired with a pitcher of my caliber for a few years. ”

Tsurutani said.

"Then you won't pitch when you go to college?"

"I'm going to be a shortstop or an outfielder."

"Coincidentally, so did I."

The two looked at each other and smiled. Then wave goodbye.

"Let's all sleep lazily tomorrow and sleep until we wake up naturally!"

After sending Tsurutani away, Fukushima turned to his teammates and said.

If reaching the fourth round is a breakthrough not seen in 20 years, then reaching the fifth round is almost the best result that has never been achieved before.

There is only one day of rest until the next game.

Thankfully, the only day was a Sunday.

Although sleeping until you wake up naturally is not a scientific way to adjust your state. But recovering your strength during the hot summer months comes first.

"But remember. The air conditioner is not too cool. ”

Fukushima finally instructed.

He didn't want any of his players to miss out on a cold.
