Li Yuanrang's favorite way to solve the opponent's beater is actually not an efficient rolling earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lee Wonrang prefers strikeouts.

Using a slider or a speed ball to trick the opposing hitter into swinging a bat, and then watching them hit the air with an unstable center of gravity is a little bad taste for Li Yuan.

However, the teams in West Tokyo will play eight rounds in more than 20 days. Li Yuanrang had to think more about his pitcher partner.

Facing Hosokawa, the opponent's four-batter, Li Yuanrang's first two balls were made with a two-seam fastball that was easy to capture. However, when the opponent is indifferent to both goals, the number of good balls has become two. Li Yuanrang had no reason not to fight for a strikeout.

The third ball is a slider from the outside corner. There is nothing mysterious. This is the old way to deal with college-level beaters.

Akio Yabe's current skateball is still only changing by an average level. But the timing of the turn is much later than before.

This is enough to entice the eager beater to swing the bat.

Three strikeouts, the hitter is out.

Superstar High School's only long-hit player hit nothing in the first hit of the game.

And that's just the beginning of the game.

If three-pitcher Nakamura and four-pitcher Hosokawa struggle to hit hits in Yabe's hands, it's even harder for the other hitters at Superstar High School to do so.

The game continued without major changes in the score.

Under the guidance of Li Yuanrang, Yabe's pitching was not seamless. But his occasional hits from the infield were only minor surprises.

If it is not a college baseball, a metal bat is used. These under-line hitters hit the two-seam speedball with brute force, and the result was probably either a broken stick or easily confiscated by the infielder.

And it's not easy for the Peace School side to expand the score.

Whenever the situation develops to the point where there are people in the circle, the opponent's pitcher can grit his teeth and get several strikeouts in a row to defuse the crisis.

Li Yuanrang once thought that the game would be entangled in this rhythm until the end.

The turnaround occurred in the first half of the eighth inning.

Nakamura faced the third baton island of the Peace School and threw four bad escorts.

This was not the first time Nakamura had made a four-bad pitch in this game. But judging from his expression, this is definitely the most unwilling time for him.

The midday sun in July almost hits the pitch. Nakamura was sweating profusely.

It's not just a sticky beating. There is also a special point of the ball towards the pitcher's defensive zone for the touch sacrifice shot. Yagi's strategy of overseeing the physical drain of the pitchers clearly paid off.

Lee Wonrang, the fourth batter who was immediately behind Kojima, could now clearly feel the drop in the ball speed of the opposing pitcher.

Not to mention the problems of possession and ball power.

Nakamura gave his catcher partner a four-bad ball guarantee.

He sent Li Yuanrang to first base.

At this time, the situation on the field is one out, one or two bases.

The reason for escorting Li Yuanrang is because Tian Gu, the next batter, is the one with the highest probability of double kill in the Peace School Park. And the superstar colleges and universities only need a double kill to resolve the current crisis.

Catcher Hosokawa, who has not played a role in his strategy and tactical approach, has made it to the pitcher's hill.

After a moment of discussion, the game continued.

Nakamura, whose physical strength has declined, takes a deep breath and throws his most confident slide. And Tian Gu unceremoniously swept the baseball to the farthest part of the field.

The baseball hit the home run wall along a straight trajectory. Then, because of the subtle lateral rotation, it bounces back to the turf at an angle that the outfielder did not expect at all.

The superstar high school's sloppy outfielders and infielders' poor relay passes put the batter on third base in one go.

A three-run home run by a slow Taguro fog. It's even harder than a home run.

However, if this shot had been played by a different fielder, I am afraid that the result would have been an even rarer home run in the field.

The superstar overseer, who had barely given any orders throughout the game, stood up.

A substitute was sent into the stadium to give the order.

Now the difference in the score is three points.

It is not an insurmountable obstacle for the sport of baseball.

Now may be the right time to switch pitches.

The third-year right-pitcher, wearing the No. 1 jersey, who had already warmed up on the sidelines, came out.

Nakamura was swapped out in the field.

Superstar High School's overseer kept Nakamura in the arena in order to preserve his striking prowess.

If everything is fine. They will have at least two and a half innings later.

However, the Peace Academy did not intend to leave so many opportunities for the opponent.

The offense in the first half of the eighth inning seemed to be never-ending.

Yabe, Donald, Fuchida. hit hits one after another.

In this half game, the score of the Peace School reached double digits.

In the eighth inning, as long as the Peace School Park holds on to the score, it can end the game early.

The Peace Academy, which was replenished with a lot of high-quality newcomers in April this year, now doesn't even have to leave Akio Yabe, who has pitched seven games, on the court.

A substitute first-year student took his place.

And the original shortstop Tokuda ball on the board to pitch.

Superstar colleges and universities have used three substitutes in a row.

Everyone came on the pitch with a lot of fighting spirit.

But fighting spirit alone doesn't make a hit.

Li Yuanrang had no scruples to pitch the pitcher with all his might.

Tokuda, who only came on the court at the end of the game, is now tasked with just getting three outs in this half game.

Each ball is over one hundred and forty-five kilometers. Tokuda's current ball speed can definitely be called fast for a high school student.

Li Yuanrang used a simple strategy of alternating inside and outside corners to guide his partner who was careless and precise in ball control.

One infield fly, plus two strikeouts.

Wearing a helmet and protective gear, the superstar high school ace Nakamura welcomed Gameet in the strike preparation area.

Players from both sides lined up to salute.

As soon as he bowed, Nakamura fell to the ground headlong forward.

The on-site doctor rushed into the field.

"I'm suffering from heat stroke, so get into the ambulance......"

The annual summer conference, both the audience and the players. Even team supervision. Examples of heat stroke are not uncommon.

Because of this, ambulances are now on standby outside the stadium at all times during every game.

About an hour later. Yabe, the head coach of the baseball club, received a message on his mobile phone that Nakamura had regained his senses and returned home on his own.

This made everyone in the Peace School also breathe a sigh of relief.

"Actually, last year, I was worried about who in our team would suffer from heat stroke. Fortunately, in the end, everyone finished the game peacefully. ”

Last year's Peace School baseball club had only a few more than nine.

A team with a smaller number like this sometimes forfeits a match because several players suffered heat stroke at the same time and couldn't make up the starting nine.

In response to this situation, a few years ago, a proposal was proposed to turn the Hanshin Koshien Stadium into a dome during the renovation of the stadium. But Takano was strongly opposed.

In the eyes of college baseball administrators. Hone your skills is really just one of the goals. This positioning of college baseball as an educational part is equally important.

In the opinion of these conservatives. Open-air games in a natural environment are part of college baseball.

As for the hot weather during the summer games and the damage to the health of teenagers from the intensive schedule. It's all a test of will.
