Under the fourth game, Jiangma, the pioneer of Fuso Dafeida, persistently pursued safety strikes. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

His short hitting skills are not superb, and he relies on his own base running speed to fight hard.

This time the baseball was pointed directly in front of the third baseman. Reasoning by common sense is another failed striking.

However, third baseman Kawasaki's pass to first base was well over his team's head.

At this time, Jiangma not only successfully got to base, but also went to second base in one go.

No one is out, there have to be people in the circle.

Captain Fukushima called a timeout and gathered the infielders around.

"My hand is slipping."

Without waiting for his teammates to ask, Kawasaki took the initiative to explain the reason for the mistake just now.

Rainy games are generally more disadvantageous for the defenders.

Pitchers can pitch in fashion and can ask the referee for a clean baseball.

But the other fielders don't have as much time to think about this when they're on guard.

Once a baseball touches the ground, it gets rain and mud. Naturally, it is difficult to control when passing.

Some teams deliberately train for this situation. Practice passing with a baseball stained with water and mud.

However, there are relatively few targeted exercises in this area of the Peace Academy.

Even because of the indoor practice range, I have never trained passively in the rain.

"In this kind of weather, it's better to wait for the rain to fall heavily and choose a day to rematch."

Listening to his teammates' words, Li Yuanrang looked up at the sky, and there was no sign of the dark clouds dispersing at all. But the rain is not noticeable.

Now it's a drizzle in the literal sense of the word.

"But if you make a mistake in your heart, try to use strikeouts to get the number of rounds. Anyway, this game has not been hit by the opponent so far. ”

Kazuhei Fukushima, whose captain is also a pitcher, said this. And then I felt that something was wrong.

"Didn't I just say something?"

"Yes, you said it yourself."

Li Yuanrang replied.

So far in the match, the opponent Fuso Ohida has not hit a hit.

However, according to the default rules of the team, no one can take the initiative to mention this matter in this case.

But Fukushima, the most superstitious of all, has just made this point out of his own.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. In short, try to rely on strikeouts to get out of the game, otherwise the flying ball will do. ”

Ichihei Fukushima's height and high-pressure shooting were originally good for creating high-flying balls.

A high fly ball that can be used to get out of a game just by catching a baseball is also a way to avoid passing mistakes.

……

It wasn't so much the short meeting on the pitcher's mound that it worked, but rather the timeout helped the defenders adjust their mentality.

In the face of the next hitter, although it is not as planned, get strikeouts or high flyers. But the mistake didn't happen again.

The baseball was hit in front of the shortstops, and the runners on second base hurried back to base. Shortstop Tokuda ball calmly passed to first base. Got one out.

"One out!"

Fukushima, the captain on the pitcher's mound, raised his finger and took the lead in shouting.

Defenders in other positions echoed the same message.

Compared to the disciplined baseball stars. The style of play is as free as the school spirit, and the Peace School Baseball Club rarely uses this way to boost morale on the field.

But today's game was in Koshien after all. Fukushima feels that this is the time to keep everyone's attention in this way.

The remaining two outs come from the opponent's three- and four-batters.

Ichihei Fukushima's changing ball is not sharp, but after all, he has accurate ball control.

Li Yuanrang mainly used straight balls to match the ball, and after completing the foreshadowing, he used curved balls and sliders to attack the dead corners of the good ball area.

Two strikeouts in a row.

Ended this half of the game where there were people in the circle.

The game then proceeded in the direction of the pitcher battle.

This was not expected by the players of both sides.

Four-bat and ace Ichihei Fukushima positions himself as a strong and weak shot, but his pitching has been more pressing in recent games than before.

And Fuso Dahida has a first-class ace sister path in college. But at the Gifu Prefecture Conference, it was also relied on the line to crush all the way to Koshien to play the right to appear.

On their line, the only shot rate that is less than 30% is the pitcher.

At the beginning of the second half of the sixth inning, Ichinose Fukushima threw a touch ball at the eighth batter.

In Fukushima's possession, this is an extremely rare thing.

The surface of the baseball, which was drenched in a light rain, was probably to blame.

Fukushima took off his hat and bowed to apologize to his opponent. Mori silently walked up to first base.

Statistically speaking, Fukushima still hasn't been hit yet.

The pitcher's sister side road stands on the strike zone. It was the first time in the game today that he had hit a man on base.

Li Yuanrang made the first ball with a curved ball. It was originally intended to test the opponent.

But as a beater, Sister Xiaolu has no intention of swinging a stick at all.

I didn't even have my eyes on the ball.

"Aiming for a straight ball?"

Li Yuanrang asked his questions directly.

Anyway, my own ball matching will not change because of the following answers.

"Maybe."

The opponent gave an ambiguous answer.

Li Yuanrang didn't care about this.

The second ball is a straight ball from the outside corner.

Lee trusted Fukushima's possession, and the moment the baseball was thrown, he judged that the ball would definitely fall into his gloves.

This time, taking advantage of the moment, he turned his head to look at the beater beside him.

Never stared at baseball from start to finish.

"Looks like I'm not going to swing the stick."

Li Yuanrang thought so in his heart. Equipped with a third ball.

A straight ball in the good ball area. There was no provocative throw into the center.

Either way, this strike strike was easily obtained.

And the opponent sister Xiaolu didn't mean to be annoyed at all, and walked back to the rest area with a blank face.

The pitcher wasn't going to put any effort into striking.

He has interrupted his striking training since he entered college.

When there is no one on the base, he will try to swing the bat, and now that there are people on the first base, in order to avoid double kills, Sister Xiaolu simply gave up swinging the bat completely.

The next two hitters continued to be suppressed by Fukushima, and the match entered the first half of the seventh inning.

This half-game Peace Academy's offense started with the third batter Lee Wonrang, and then the captain Fukushima. Next up is Akio Yabe.

It can be said that it is the strongest group of fighters in the team.

The rain was not heavy, but the clouds gathered again, and there was even thunder in the distance from nowhere.

"After this game, if it rains heavily, it will be considered a valid game."

Before Li Yuanrang came on the court, he heard Fukushima Issei muttering something to himself.

This is a kind of hypothetical language that he has not been able to say lightly in the past.

But since I inadvertently broke the fact that there is no hitter just now. I don't know if I let my guard down or something else. Fukushima's superstitious practices were swept away.

And the people who are least looking forward to seeing the rain get heavier now are the more than 40,000 ordinary spectators in the audience.

They were supposed to come for the third and fourth games.

According to the rules of the conference, as long as the first game is successfully completed, the subsequent games will not be refunded even if they are cancelled due to rain. (To be continued.) )
