Although the cooperation is not tacit enough. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but this combined team of three schools still showed that it was stronger than ordinary public schools.

In the seventh inning, the United team led 10-3. If it is an official qualifier, it is now considered a valid match that can be ended early.

Yuma Kondo, the four-stick catcher who became the main player of the United team through the draw, showed a very different strength from the other players on the field.

Two home runs and one well-timed hitter made a six-point hit. accounted for more than half of the team.

Defensively. The runner who stopped the base stealer twice, and there were no flaws in the handling of the catcher's high fly ball and sacrificial sprint.

"Where did this Kondo Yuma come from?"

Li Yuanrang had some doubts in his heart.

His mobile phone contains a copy of the information sent to him by captain Ichihei Fukushima. It has basic information about all the players of the United Team.

It is shown according to the content above. Kondo Yuma attended a nearby public school in elementary school, and three years ago he entered the San Javier Gakuen Middle School as one of the first boys after coeducation.

There were only seven boys in his class, so it was certainly impossible to form a team. I don't have the opportunity to do systematic baseball training in the three years of middle school.

Judging by the performance on the field, it is clear that this is not the case.

Now it is the turn of Minamitama High School to attack. The batter hits a high fly ball from the infield, which is not far away. Catcher Kondo took off his mask, observed the landing point, and held the ball firmly in the glove.

"Good to pick up!"

The cheers that rang out around Li Yuanrang came from Kondo's sister Nana Kondo. This led him to think of a way to get intelligence on his opponents.

"Kondo...... I mean, Yuma, he's really good. ”

Li Yuanrang said to Nana Kondo, who was sitting not far from him.

This is a compliment, but it's not against your will. The other party's performance is really good.

"Of course, from primary school to middle school, the horse is the team's four sticks."

"Middle school? But there are only a few boys in San Javier's secondary school. I haven't heard of a baseball club. ”

Li Yuanrang immediately turned the topic to what he was interested in.

"It's not the school's baseball club, it's the nearby LittleSenior team. When I was in elementary school and middle school, Yuma was playing hard ball. ”

"LittleSenior?"

"Yes."

Although he didn't know what it was, Li Yuanrang was embarrassed to ask directly.

He memorized the approximate pronunciation. When Nana Kondo's attention returned to the court again, Li Yuanrang immediately took out his mobile phone and sent an email to his teammate Tian Guwu. According to the previous arrangement, Tian Gu will not play today, and will still sit on the sidelines to do data statistics and analysis.

"WHAT IS RITORUSHINIA?"

Li Yuanrang didn't know how to spell the words he heard just now in English, so he had to mark them out with katakana according to the pronunciation.

It didn't take long for Tian Gu to send a reply.

"It's called LittleSenior, and it's a hard league for middle school students. Why do you ask this? ”

"There's a guy in this game named Kondo Yuma, who is said to be from LittleSenior."

Li Yuanrang replied.

Tian Gu did not continue to answer. A minute later, Li Yuanrang's mobile phone rang with a "buzzing" vibrating sound. The call came from Tagu.

"You're talking about Kondo Yuma?"

Tian Gu on the other end of the phone asked loudly.

"Right...... You keep your voice down. ”

Kondo's sister was sitting not far from Li Yuanrang, and Li Yuanrang had no choice but to turn down the volume of the telephone receiver and continue to talk to Tian Gu.

"Is it Kondo who has a mole behind his left ear?"

"How can you see it from this distance, and he's wearing a catcher mask."

"Is he a catcher now...... Is there a sister on the sidelines who will yell whenever he performs? ”

Li Yuanrang looked at Nana Kondo, who was cheering for his younger brother with his fists clenched not far away, and nodded. Then I remembered that I was on the phone.

"Yes, indeed."

"That's him, we played against each other at the LittleLeague level in elementary school."

The LittleLeague is a hardball league for elementary school students, and both Takoki and Masaoka of the Peace School were previously participants in the nearby LittleLeague team.

"How good was he at that time."

Li Yuanrang asked in a low voice with his mouth covered and the microphone.

"A returned child who came back from New York when he was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Kokubunji Taurus's trump card and four sticks, super powerful. It's about as strong as the complex between me and Masaoka! ”

Li Yuanrang originally thought that Tian Gu's information was quite valuable, but after listening to the last sentence, he suddenly felt that the reference was discounted.

After hanging up the phone, Tian Gu sent another email, which gave a brief introduction to RB's various youth baseball games.

Li Yuanrang knew that the soft baseball sport born in RB is actually not popular in other countries and regions in the world.

Most developed baseball countries, including the United States, are dominated by hard-style games even at the youth level.

At the elementary and secondary levels of RB, few schools will organize hardball clubs due to safety and other reasons.

Teens and their parents who are passionate about baseball have no choice but to participate in baseball leagues outside of the school system.

For example, "LittleLeague" and "BoysLeague".

Most of the teens who belong to these hard leagues do not sign up for baseball clubs when they are in school. Some will join clubs where they can exercise, such as the athletics club. Some directly choose to become members of the "Home Ministry".

So for them, it doesn't really matter if the school in middle school is a baseball powerhouse or not.

The situation is different at the university level.

College baseball is a game that runs parallel to soft and hard games. However, the public sees hard-form competition as the mainstream.

The highest level of college baseball is no longer represented by the various league games outside of school. Rather, it is a spring selection event and a summer contest held in Koshien.

Teenagers who played in the out-of-school league in middle school often become the target of baseball's elite colleges and universities when they enter school.

It stands to reason that a player like Kondo Yuma should have received invitations from many schools in the first place. As for why he chose to stay and go straight to the higher ranks. This is not what Li Yuanrang needs to investigate today.

……

Li Yuanrang survived under the unobstructed sun until the end of the ninth inning. Two processions saluted. The pace of this game is not slow. The end time was just a little after four o'clock in the afternoon.

Wait until he's packed up his equipment. Kondo's sister has long since left the court.

The next morning, captain Fukushima and several free players gathered in the conference room of the Wild Ball Club. Let's watch the video shot by Li Yuanrang yesterday.

In addition to Kondo Yuma, there is a new receipt for intelligence analysis.

"This Harada, when I was in elementary school, was on our team."

Tian Gu, who had excellent experience in elementary school, discovered his former teammates.

"I've seen this Otomo before."

Masaoka also found an acquaintance.

This joint team, which was hastily put together by three schools only a month ago, may be stronger than expected.
