Chapter 85: Advancing Scores

When Li Yuanrang, who was originally going to take the responsibility of clearing the home run and get the batting point, stood in the strike zone, the base runner had been "emptied" by Tian Gu, who had the previous bat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

However, this did not have much impact on Li Yuanrang's blow.

After one good and one bad, an outside corner ball was hit in front of the right fielder and became a hit. Li Yuanrang stood on first base.

The fifth baton in this game is still Akio Yabe. Compared to the previous fighters, Yabe seems to be a little easier to deal with in terms of size.

However, Shimura, the catcher of Higashimurayama Academy, has already collected a lot of game data. For Yabe, he didn't dare to take it lightly.

After one good and three bad, a straight ball from the outside corner did not fall into the good zone. Four bad escorts. Of course, this was not a deliberate delivery, but rather a pitcher's ability to control the ball and prevent it from being able to throw the ball into the catcher's predetermined target.

The sixth batter was Donald Hirata, who appeared in front of his opponent as a genius long-distance cannon.

But his teammates who know him well know that he is just a hitter who is good at swinging a big stick at straight balls and not hitting anything else.

"I've heard that in the baseball culture in the United States, six is another best position for a home run striker."

In the rest area off the pitch, Tian Gu is holding his notepad and sharing knowledge with his teammates that he may not necessarily need.

"In RB, in recent years, there has also been this arrangement, putting the second most basic home runner in the team to the sixth baseman."

Kazuhei Fukushima, who is almost half of the team's supervisor, is responsible for determining the squad and scheduling the game, and has studied the situation in this regard.

In recent years, there have been more and more cases of placing strong batters in the sixth bat. One reason for this is that from a statistical point of view, the sixth batter has the second most chance of hitting the lap after the fourth.

Donald Hirata was facing the chance to score the lap at this point.

Now it's first and second base, and pitchers are the type to shoot almost all of them.

The situation was tailor-made for Donald.

Takeshi Tsurutani threw hard, and a straight ball that was close to the limit of his ball speed was stuffed into the good ball area.

But this level of ball speed is not a threat to Donald, who is used to playing fastballs.

A swing of the stick. The ball is swept straight to the left field.

The opposing fielder simply gave up running.

An oversized home run that hits the protective net outside the wall.

The score became four to one. Peace School is leading.

The next two hitters also hit back-to-back bases. It wasn't until the ninth baseball Honda's Uchino Rolling Ball appeared that the attack of the Peace School Park was terminated.

In just the first game, the hitter took a round. The strong attack and weak attack of the East Village Mountain School Park really deserve its name.。

In the first half of the next two innings, Shimura, the five-stick catcher of Higashimura Mountain School Park, hit the base again as soon as he came up.

In the end, in this half-game, Higashimurayama pulled back a total of two points.

And in the second half of the game, the Peace School also added points. Li Yuanrang's strike sent Tian Guwu back to home base on second base. He was sent back to score by the subsequent Yabe.

By the time Li Yuanrang stood in the strike zone for the third time in the fourth game in the second half of the fourth game, the score on the court was already 6-3.

Li Yuanrang is now facing a situation where one is out, and there are runners on first and third base.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but on the third ball after one good and two bad, pitcher Tsurutani directly threw a good shot that was almost in the middle.

Of course, Li Yuanrang will not let go of the opportunity.

I didn't use all my strength, just the force of the metal bat hitting the core. The ball was enough to fly to the farthest point of left field.

Half a metre above the left fielder's leaping glove, it flew out of the home run guardrail.

Now the score is nine to three. Lee Won-rang, who was officially playing the four-time batter for the first time, hit his first home run at the stadium.

And the attack of the School of Peace did not end there.

Akio Yabe also managed to go up to first base. Donald swung his big stick at a missed pitch, even though it only rubbed the bat against the baseball, and it ended up being a hit.

Seventh, Kawasaki sent the front two back to home plate. The eighth stick of the mountain leaf strikeout. Honda, who was ninth in the bar, hit the infield rolling.

At the end of the four rounds. The score was eleven to three.

"If the next game is over and the score can be more than ten points ahead, you can end the game early."

In the gap between offense and defense, captain Kazuhei Fukushima used this kind of speech to encourage his teammates to hold on to the lead and then extend the advantage.

In the first few games, the breaks were very short. After the win, there is only one day of rest before the next game.

If today's game can be ended early, it will obviously be conducive to physical recovery.

The criterion for ending the game is to lead by 10 points after five innings and by 7 points after 7 innings.

The School of Peace is not far from this goal.

In the game of five innings, the attack of Higashimurayama Gakuen started with Kikuchi, the third bat.

Li Yuanrang neither wants to escort the opponent nor is he willing to be knocked out of the base.

Facing this sticky hitter, after the seven balls were two good and two bad, Li Yuanrang matched an outside corner low ball.

Players with short bats are often not good at this type of ball.

But Kikuchi is not that kind of player.

He adjusted his body position in time, and Leng pushed the ball into the outfield.

And relying on the outfielder, Tian Gu couldn't catch up. Ran up to third base in one go.

The fourth-baton Takano was in a hurry and swung three empty bats in a row to get out.

And the fifth batter is the catcher Shimura.

In the first ball, Shimura faced a straight ball that Yabe couldn't suppress and hit a throw-in from the left field.

This is different from a throw-in that is played by a sticky player to grind the ball. The goal was clearly hoping for a long attempt.

The second ball was a bad ball and was let go by the beater.

The next third goal. High outside corner bad ball. But it's a great opportunity for batters looking to hit a high flying ball.

Shimura, who is tall and long-armed, pulled such an outside corner kick into the left field.

Unfortunately, it was still a throw-in.

Donald Hirata, who retreated slightly to guard against the opponent's long play, felt that he could catch the ball. So I moved to the point where the ball landed and took a position to catch the ball.

And his teammates shouted in unison, "Don't pick it up!" Don't pick it up! ”。

Donald didn't know what his teammates were shouting. Or put the ball in the glove.

Although it is a throw-in, according to the rules, you can still start running after being caught.

Kikuchi on third base took advantage of the situation and ran back to home plate.

The throw-in turned into a high-flying sacrificial hit. The score was eleven to four. This score was maintained until the end of the first half of the fifth inning.

"If you want to end the game in this game, it looks like you need to score one more point in the second half."

Kazuhei Fukushima said to his teammates who had returned to the rest area.

"It doesn't make that big of a difference between two points and three points."

Miyagi, a stalwart with a bat in his hand and a helmet and protective gear, replied.

The blow of the next half of the game starts with him.

In this game, Miyagi played quite smoothly, and he was confident to go out of the base this time.

This time, instead of Miyagi swinging his own bat, pitcher Tsurutani threw five balls, four of which were outside the good ball zone. Four bad balls.

It's not a deliberate delivery, nor is it a dodging ball against the hitter.

Now it's clear that the pitcher can't get the ball into the good zone.

"I've already lost so many points, why don't you switch pitches."

Li Yuanrang in the rest area was puzzled by this.

"Someone needs to be able to change it, too."

Yabe replied.

It's not uncommon for a college baseball game to rely on a single shooter to support the team.

Higashimurayama School Park is really unreplaceable now.。
