Ichihei Fukushima spent more than twenty goals in the first game. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is a challenge for Li Yuanrang.

Fukushima finished nine games in the game the day before yesterday, and his physical fatigue has not yet recovered.

In today's game, the more he got to the second half of the game, the more uncontrollable his state became.

At this stage, Fukushima's pitching power has diminished. More importantly, when he tried to throw before the start of today's game, Li Yuanrang noticed that Fukushima had a problem with today's slide.

Let's not talk about the magnitude of change or the trajectory of movement.

Fukushima's slide ball today had a few shots that didn't change at all.

Therefore, under the conditions of actual combat, Li Yuanrang greatly reduced the number of sliders, and when facing the opponent's strong attack, he completely sealed it.

This also led to an increase in the number of balls used in the first inning.

In the second half of the second game, the defense of the Peace School Park, Li Yuanrang mainly matched the ball with straight balls.

The sixth batter of Fuso's third is probably also a guessing player.

Because Li Yuanrang suddenly changed the matching menu, the information collected before the game became a piece of waste paper.

After two good and one bad, a surprise inside corner curl ball was hit in a hurry into a weak flat fly ball in the front direction of the second baseman, and it was caught and killed.

The next Araki and Toyota were probably speed players, and they both hit the rolling ball in the direction of third base. It can be seen that it was deliberately done in pursuit of the Uchino hit.

Kawasaki, the third baseman, made two of the most basic catches to first base. This ordinary action, like pre-game practice, drew admiration from the stands on first base. There were even a few screams.

The number of balls used is finally controlled within 10 goals. However, the rest of the game will not be too easy.

After the exchange of offense and defense, the players of Fuso's third entered the field and took their positions in the defensive positions.

The attack on the three-inning Peace Academy starts from the seventh bat.

Kawasaki, which was inexplicably concerned, stood in the strike zone.

"Toshito Funabashi in the outfield, I'm sure you've seen it before. This year's pitcher is not a good crop, so it's better to pick a fielder. ”

Yoichi Minami, who was watching the game from the stands, pointed in the direction of the outfield. He spoke to Yoshikawa, a professional baseball scout for Hiroshima in the Kanto region.

"We won't grab a player like Funabashi."

It's a bit unwilling, but the strategy of avoiding draft favorites is imprinted in the mind of every Hiroshima scout.

"If Fuso loses in the third game, it will stop in the semi-finals."

"How could that ...... happen?"

Yoshikawa only felt inappropriate when he said this, and he was now sitting in the support seat of the Peace Academy. Surrounded by supporters of the School of Peace.

In addition, Yoshikawa thought that the southern argument was also valuable.

College baseball is a game that is a winner, and anything can happen. What's more, now the score is still 0-0.

If Fuso 3rd really loses in this game. Toshito Funabashi, who was originally likely to qualify for the first round of the draft, will naturally fall in value.

Not only will there be a chance to be selected in the later rounds, but conditions such as the signing fee will also be much easier to negotiate.

"But if you can't get into Koshien, maybe this Funabashi will choose to go to university or the social team."

"He's the kind of player who's aiming for professional baseball from the beginning anyway. If you have the opportunity to enter, you won't miss it. ”

It's not just Toshito Funabashi. More than half of Fuso's third-place players came from the baseball elite route since childhood. These people have suffered a lot for baseball since childhood. The goal, of course, is to get into professional baseball. Whether it's a college or a social team, it's just a spare tire option that can't graduate from college and go directly to professional baseball.

In addition to Funabashi, Otsuka at first base, Koseki in the outfield, and pitcher Chiba have all been included in the roster for professional baseball teams now.

Fuso, a famous player in western Tokyo, has a history of being selected four players in a draft before. The current team seems to have a chance to equalize that record as well.

Of course, all this is premised on the team being able to score well in Koshien.

……

Toshito Funabashi, who is highly regarded in professional baseball scouting circles, once again stood in the strike zone in the bottom half of the third inning.

Before him, teammate Chiba hit first base with a hit that broke through the second game.

In a game where he is not a starting pitcher, Hiroyuki Chiba's hit is the fifth stroke, which shows the strength of the strike.

And because of the relationship between teammates on base, Funabashi can't pursue the Uchino hit with the goal of rolling the ball.

The only decisive ball that Lee can use now is a straight ball.

But the speedball thrown by Issei Fukushima without the power of the ball and without the slippery ball as a cover still can't suppress the real strong hitter after all.

The outside corner is low, the ball is perfectly controlled, and the baseball is stuffed into the dead corner of the good ball zone. But such a ball still could not avoid being hit by the bridge.

The ball lands in front of the right fielder.

Runners occupy first and third base.

In this crisis situation, despite Fukushima's efforts, Miyashita, who was the second batter. Once the opponent's home run-clearer comes on, losing points is inevitable.

Three-bat, cross-tail, and five-bat nets, respectively.

At the end of the game, the score was 0-3. Fuso was third in the lead.

"It seems that I still don't have a chance to choose the bridge."

Scout Yoshikawa, who was watching the game from the stands, said something else.

Although it's hard to say clearly sitting on the support seat of the Peace Academy. But Yoshikawa himself felt that the half game just now was enough to show the difference in the strength of the two teams on the scene.

In his opinion, the one who can finally reach the final will probably be Fuso's third.

And Nanfang Yoichi beside him didn't reply.

Anything can happen in a baseball game until the last one is out. This feature was what attracted the South to the sport in the first place.

And on the playing field, the Peace School is not without a turnaround.

Before the start of the first half of the fourth inning, Fuso's third-place pitcher, Chiba, maintained a record of no hits.

The pioneer of this half-game Peace Academy, the stalwart Miyagi was knocked out with strikeouts. The no-hitter record added another third of innings.

Masaoka, who was the second batter, followed the instructions and aimed to consume the opponent's balls.

By pure coincidence, an outside straight ball that should have been hit into the stands on third base was pushed to the left field by Masaoka and left in bounds.

The left field of Fuso 3rd is Toshito Funabashi's defense zone. With his speed, even if the ball lands a little awkwardly, it will definitely cover it.

The exit seemed to be a foregone conclusion, and Masaoka slowly ran to first base perfunctorily. With a high fly ball like this, the opponent should not make a mistake under normal circumstances.

But if it's Funabashi who catches the ball, that's a different story.

I didn't use any fancy moves like catching the ball with my back. However, Funabashi's gesture of catching the ball was quite perfunctory.

The ball had gone into the glove, but it was not caught in time and fell out.

"It's really remarkable that such a garrison attitude can play the main force in such a prestigious school."

Li Yuanrang, who was standing at the exit of the rest area with a bat in his hand, waiting for the opportunity to play, saw this mistake and muttered.

According to what he knew before. This kind of baseball elite school often values the game more than the strength. Unless it's good enough in other areas, it won't be so connived with oversight.

"Then you can teach him a lesson with a bat."

Kazuhei Fukushima patted him on the shoulder. Now it's Li Yuanrang's turn to play.

On the field, the second baseman who was lucky enough to get on base occupied first base.

Standing in the strike zone, Lee noticed Fukushima making a gesture from the sidelines. Masaoka nodded, and then left the base bag slightly.

"Is this a raid?"

Li Yuanrang has hardly seen Masaoka have a record of stealing bases in the game.

He looked at Fukushima in the rest area, expecting some instructions from the other party.

Fukushima shook his head and said that there were no tactics, so please play freely.
