Chapter 142: Four Times

Li Yuanrang waited for the arrival of the next ball, and glanced at the runner Miyagi on first base by the way. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Miyagi is answering the secret call of "supervising" Aragaki in the rest area.

It's different from the code that Aragaki typed out indiscriminately in the previous game. Now at this time, this instruction she gave does have a practical meaning.

The next goal,Peace School will attack according to the strategy of "play and run".

Although it is only a nominal supervision, this instruction from Aragaki is in line with the current situation on the field. Li Yuanrang and Miyagi both responded to the signal of agreement after seeing it.

In this situation, the play-and-run tactics are intended for two reasons.

Once Lee hits a hit, Miyagi, who started early, may use a normal first base to run back to home plate to score.

Even if Li Yuan let Kong Zhen out, his body leaning forward after swinging the baton can cover Miyagi's advance to second base. When the following four sticks Fukushima came to the field, there were runners directly in the lap.

The worst situation is just that Li Yuan let Miyagi out of the game and fail to steal the base at the same time.

Even so, it's not all without benefits.

The next time it goes on the offensive, the fourth batter Fukushima strikes with no one out, and maybe it will be more helpful for the team's offense.

Fuso Daihida's pitcher, Sister Koji, took a deep breath and threw the following shot. The ball was aimed at the high inside corner as expected by Li Yuanrang.

Li Yuanrang used the goal he set at the beginning to swing the baton in advance.

He visibly felt the baseball touching the bat in both hands.

However, what followed was the sound of the catcher catching the ball.

Miyagi on first base was already in motion, and it was too late for the catcher to pass the ball. The runner made it to second base safely.

"Was this ball a baseball just now?"

Li Yuanrang, who was already out, turned around and asked the referee.

"Yes, the ball is not above the shoulder, it is a baseball."

Although Li Yuanrang's bat touched the baseball, the trajectory of the ball did not change significantly. The catcher, crouched behind home plate, caught the baseball almost directly.

In this case, it is considered to be "wiping baseball" in terms of rules.

Rubbing a baseball is equivalent to an empty strikeout, so Li Yuanrang is considered to be knocked out by three strikeouts.

The purpose of the baseball rule, which is to protect the attacking side.

If the ball is counted as a flying ball, the runner on the base is obligated to return to the base. However, at the distance from first base to home plate, runners are not too clear about the difference between baseball and air vibration.

In this case, it would certainly not be fair to ask runners to make their own judgment on whether to return to base.

Therefore, the rules of baseball stipulate that the flight trajectory of the ball does not change significantly after touching the bat and the ball is directly caught by the capsule is equivalent to air vibration.

Under this premise, the thief of Miyagi, who just ran it, is still valid.

Now the situation is that two people are out, and there are people on second base.

"It's been three strikeouts in a row."

When Li Yuanrang returned to the rest area, his teammate Tian Gu, who was holding a record book, was writing the progress of the game just now.

Starting with the immortal strikeout of Miyagi, the Peace School has been hit by three beaters in a row.

Lee Wonrang, in particular, was knocked out for the first time in his last few games.

"I thought I could hit it."

In fact, Li Yuanrang has already hit the baseball, but he has to use the strategy of swinging the baton in advance to deal with the inside corner speedball, which depends more on luck in hitting accuracy for Li Yuanrang, who is used to staring at the ball to the end.

The last ball was obviously not too lucky. The direct formation of wiping baseballs has a certain relationship with the change in the friction coefficient between the bat and the baseball in rainy days.

“Strike!”

Before Li Yuanrang could sit down in the rest area, Fukushima, the four bats on the field, had already eaten the third air vibration of his own seat.

Strikeouts out.

Because of the undead strikeouts at the beginning, Fuso Daihida's sister Koji won four strikeouts in one and a half rounds.

The bottom half of the first inning then began.

Although there was only a few minutes between the two half-innings, the rain had almost completely stopped by this time.

"I don't know which side will be better."

Li Yuanrang muttered in a low voice.

Captain Fukushima, who was ahead of him, carefully ensured that his right foot stepped into the bounds first.

Rainy games have disadvantages for both sides.

As a hitter, the friction of the bat is naturally as high as possible. In order to increase friction, professional baseball players also spray a special spray on the wooden stick before they go on the court.

Rain on rainy days can mostly make metal bats used in college games slippery.

On the other hand, a hard ball wrapped in leather will become heavier even if it is slightly exposed to rain, and even the rebound will be affected.

These are all disadvantages for the beater.

But that doesn't mean pitchers aren't afraid of rain.

The summer situation in Koshien is fine. Rain in spring and autumn is generally accompanied by cooling. For pitchers, the heat of the shoulders should be kept within a reasonable range. A shoulders that are too cold can affect the flexibility of the joints.

Humidity and rain also play a role in ball control.

Especially for pitchers like Ichihei Fukushima, who rely on ball control, it's not a bad thing that the rain is temporarily stopped at this time.

Fuso's first baton is the outfielder Eima.

Li Yuanrang greeted him with an inside corner speedball.

Hippo swung his bat, but nothing hit.

The ball from Fukushima was close to the top edge of the good ball zone, close to the player's line of sight. It is easy to make errors in the judgment of height.

"How? It's different from those opponents of the prefectural assembly. ”

When Lee first took on the role of catcher, Yabe encouraged him to distract from chatting with hitters between matches.

Yabe's own strategy is to say something that will provoke the hitter. Li Yuanrang tried this method at first, but in terms of personal preference, he didn't want to be so mean.

Recently, he has found a strategy that works for him.

Or chat with the opponent, and the content of the talk is more or less related to the game. But in the end, a question is thrown for the hitter to consider.

Now he is practicing this approach.

The video of the game of the Gifu Prefectural Convention was watched by Lee Motorang several times. Compared with Fuso Daihida, the pitcher strength of other teams this year is really not on the table.

The other team in the county finals pitched just over 120 kilometers. Even if it is a left-hand throw, there is no suppressive power at all.

Compared to them, the pitching lineup of the Peace School is not to mention the captain Fukushima, even if Yabe arrives there, he will be the top ace in the prefecture.

"We don't just face that kind of rookie opponent, I can play a lot of the ball in the red and white games in the team."

The density of competition in Gifu Prefecture, where Fuso Daihida is located, is much lower than in Tokyo. The seeded team only needs to play four games to qualify for the Summer Conference.

Plus the factor of inaccessibility. They fought more of their own red and white battles than they played outside.

"And ......"

Jiang Ma continued.

"Even in the red and white war, we won't be beaten four times by Sister Xiaolu in one game." (To be continued.) )
