The race started promptly at two o'clock in the afternoon. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoBefore that, Li Yuanrang had been exposed to the sun for half an hour.

Competing against the three school teams is the metropolitan Minamitama High School. An ordinary public school with little character.

In the first half of the first game, the combined team attacked first.

The players on this team come from three different schools. The difference can be seen in the performance on the field.

Kenta Ohtani, the No. 1 pitcher from Guangde High School, scored a hit as soon as he came up. Standing on the base, he folded his hands and greeted the spectators in the stands.

Several boys with shaved heads also clapped their hands in return.

When Otomo of the second baseball San Javier School came on the field, the cheers of female spectators were heard from the sidelines.

Otomo stepped up to the strike zone, drew a cross on his chest, and sent his teammate to second base with a striking sacrifice.

The third stick is Harada from Tachikawa Agriculture. In the face of the change of the opponent's pitcher's missed shot, the ball is shot decisively. A two-run hit with a one-point hit.

There were uniform cheers and applause from the sidelines. Li Yuanrang looked towards the side stands of the third base. More than a dozen boys wearing elongated stand-up collar Xuelan uniforms and airplane heads danced with their hands. One of them also waved the banner of the "Tachikawa Agricultural High School Support Department".

"Since there are so many boys, why don't there be a few more people playing, and we have to team up with other schools......

Li Yuanrang thought so in his heart.

Although it was only the first game. After losing the score, the Minamitama catchers called a timeout and ran up the pitcher's hill, and the infielders also surrounded them.

At this time, a young woman wearing a parasol and sunglasses came to the court, looked left and right, and then chose to sit down next to Li Yuanrang.

"What's the score now?"

There was no self-introduction and greetings, and the other party naturally asked Li Yuanrang directly.

"One to zero, the United team leads. Otani ......, the first stick just now"

Li Yuanrang briefly introduced the process of the game from the beginning to the present.

"Luckily, I didn't miss anything."

The other party replied.

Li Yuanrang didn't quite understand what this "didn't miss" meant at first. But after a minute he understood.

When Kondo, the fourth batter of the combined team, from San Javier Academy, came on the court, Li Yuan asked the woman next to him to stand up, waved vigorously into the stadium and shouted.

"Yuma! Come on! ”

Kondo heard the shout, turned and waved, and then stood in the strike zone.

The Minamitama High School pitcher on the pitcher's mound let out a sigh of relief and threw a low-down straight ball.

With a light swing, Kondo unleashed a powerful flying ball that hit the pitcher in the direction.

Minami-Tama's pitcher reaches out based on instinct. The ball was lucky enough to be caught in the glove.

The pitcher then turned and passed to second base.

Harada, a runner who was already preparing to start, didn't have time to return to base. Knocked out.

Three outs, offense and defense exchanged.

The woman cheering for Kondo's Yuma sat down slightly disappointed. Then he turned his head to look at Li Yuanrang beside him.

"To do enemy reconnaissance?"

Li Yuanrang nodded, there was nothing to hide, the DV set up next to him and the speed gun in his hand revealed his identity.

"So you just came in a jersey?"

According to the request of captain Fukushima, Li Yuanrang wore the uniform of the baseball club of the Peace School Park.

"Wearing a jersey to a baseball game isn't a matter of course. Don't you either. ”

Li Yuanrang looked at the other party, she was wearing a gray baseball uniform, the number was twenty-four, and the letters "HIYAMA" were printed on the back.

"School of Peace?"

The other party no longer talked about the jersey, but directly pointed to the words on Li Yuanrang's chest.

Although it is a Western-style school founded by Americans, the jersey style of the Peace School is very simple. The name of the school is printed directly on the chest in Chinese characters. I didn't use any fancy fonts.

"Yes. In the first round of the qualifiers, you will meet your school. ”

Li Yuanrang didn't know what school the other party came from. But since he is cheering for San Javier's Kondo, I think he should be the right person from the same school as him.

"Do you think I'm a college student?"

"Isn't it?"

"Thank you."

The other party smiled and continued.

"It's my sister."

The woman gestured to the court. The joint team of the three schools has already set up a defensive battle. The fourth batter, Yuma Kondo, put on the catcher armor and is cooperating with pitcher Kenta Ohtani for a test shot.

"So it's Kondo ......"

"Nana! It's good to call it a dish.,I don't like to be called 'Kondo' or something.。 ”

The woman who spoke to Lee was named Nana Kondo. Her younger brother is Yuma Kondo, the head of the baseball club of San Javier Academy.

said that he was the main player, but in fact, there were only three people in the entire baseball club. All are in first grade.

The Lyceum San Javier was a girls' school not so long ago. The recruitment of male students has been going on for several years. The total number of people is still very limited.

Another school that formed a joint team with them, Guangde University, almost exclusively recruits children of school graduates. There is only one class per school year. There are less than 200 students in the school.

It's different from the two schools above. The Tachikawa Agricultural Baseball Club, which made up more than half of the combined team, was not a weak team before. There is no shortage of players either.

But in a game three years ago, the players refused to accept the referee's decision and there was an armed fight. The baseball club was forced to disband. It has only just been restored this year.

Under the mediation of Takano Ren, the three schools that could not get together the first nine people formed a team, and finally won the opportunity to participate in this year's summer qualifiers.

Off the pitch, the game continued.

Minami-Tama's second baseman picked a four-bad pick to stand on first base.

The next third bat, deceived by the pitcher's change ball, hit a weak infield bowl.

The second baseman from Tachikawa Agriculture quickly stepped forward to catch the incoming ball. When I turned around and wanted to pass the ball, I found that the shortstop from Guangde was not next to the base pack, so he could only pass the first base again.

As a result, what could have ended the half-round double kill turned into the result of pushing the runner forward.

"It's okay! Two out! ”

Yuma Kondo, who was at home plate, stood up and shouted to his teammates.

For teams from different schools to form a team, the connection of the infield guard is the primary problem.

Kondo understands that he can't blame his teammates in this situation, and that the purpose of practicing games is to find and solve such problems.

The United team was not distracted by the small mistake just now. Next up against Minami Tama's fourth bat, the pitcher scored a clean strikeout. Ended the bottom half of the first inning.

"Youma, he's doing well."

In the gap between the offensive and defensive exchanges, Nana Kondo in the stands asked Li Yuanrang.

"It looks like a general."

This is actually a compliment. The match has only just begun, and Lee has little experience in evaluating an opponent.

"At first, I was a little worried when I heard that he was going to be the main player of the United Team......

Of the three schools that formed a team, San Javier Lyceum had the fewest students. However, the main player of the team is not determined by the number of people, but by drawing lots.

Kondo Yuma relied on his first-class luck to become the main leader of this team.
