In the second half of the first game, Akikawa High School's attack. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It's different from the deserted atmosphere when the Peace Academy was hit. In the stands, dozens of boys wearing Akikawa jerseys shouted slogans of support.

They are the players of the Akikawa baseball club who did not receive the back number. Because he is also a member of the baseball club, even if he is not a day off, he can be regarded as a "public debt" even if he is not on the field to cheer for the school team.

The first to stand in the strike zone was a second-grader, the guerrilla Saikawa.

Li Yuanrang saw that he had set up a batting posture, and immediately searched for a bunch of messy things from the database in his head.

"I heard...... Do you snore when you sleep at night? ”

"Where did you hear that?"

"Your own teammates, written on the blog."

In fact, Li Yuanrang's source is Takeo Michikawa, a first-year student in Akikawa who was caught by the members of the Peace School Park during reconnaissance activities a while ago.

Mutsu didn't have enough information on the field that could be exchanged, so he used the anonymous blog addresses of the members of the Akikawa baseball club to make up the numbers.

Akio Yabe collected gossip from these blogs about almost every main player of his opponent. Before the start of today's game, I forced Li Yuanrang to carry it down. It's good to disturb the opponent's mind during the game.

"Don't look at those people's nonsense, I live alone in the dormitory, how can anyone hear me snoring."

"Maybe it's so loud that everyone in the next room can hear it."

“…… Hiraizumi, this kid! He must have done it! ”

"Alright, alright, go back and solve the problems in your team yourself. Let's start with the game. ”

As he spoke, Li Yuanrang typed a code. A straight ball with a low outside corner but not too tricky.

Sasakawa hurriedly swung his stick to form a hollow vibration.

At the same time, in the first-base stands of the municipal Tachikawa Stadium, a boy wearing a baseball club uniform suddenly sneezed for some reason.

This person is Kotaro Hiraizumi, a substitute player in the Akikawa High School Baseball Club who has no back number.

Living in the room next door to Sagawa, he suffered from snoring, so he wrote about his complaints on his anonymous blog. I happened to see it when I was collecting information by a arrowhead with a heart.

The second goal that Sasakawa faced next was an inside corner. The third goal is the outside corner again.

The main purpose of Li Yuanrang's combination of these three goals is actually to find out the scale of the referee. The strikeouts are just a by-product.

According to the situation just now, the referee's good ball area in today's game is indeed relatively loose.

The outer corners are wider than the inner corners.

It is said that the referees of the major leagues can put more than one more width of the ball in the outside corner than the average RB referee.

It was much the same with the referee today.

Of course, even in the inner corners, he puts it more loosely than others.

Shibata, the second baseman at the second base, was originally a push-forward player. After the first ball was aired, the second ball tried to sneak up and hit the short shot and went out of bounds.

Finally, a speedball enters the glove. Another strikeout.

It took less than ten minutes before and after. Two are already out.

The third baseman, the third baseman in the third grade, Tanabe. He is also the current head of the Akikawa High School Baseball Club.

According to gossip information, he is said to be an anime fan.

During the tournament, the Akikawa Baseball Club prohibits the main players from watching TV outside of the specified hours.

The latest new animation wants to come to the other party and don't have time to watch it at all.。

Yabe once suggested using "spoiler tactics" against him.

But Li Yuanrang refused to do so out of his identity as a good person of ACG.

A three-baseman is often a mid-to-long distance hitter. Therefore, in the face of Tian Nabe's matching, Li Yuan made more use of the referee's preference.

The first ball is a low ball from the inside corner that clings to the edge of home plate. The opponent barely made a stick and wiped the stick out of bounds.

The second ball continues to attack the inside corner. The high straight ball failed to fool the hitter, one good and one bad.

The low curveball in the middle tricks the opponent into a second swing.

The next fourth goal. An outside corner slider.

The beater, Tanabe, stood still with confidence.

The referee ruled that the goal was good.

Three strikeouts in a row.

The looseness of the outside corner of the good ball area gives the ball a wider range of possibilities to play from the inside out.

In fact, many pitchers who moved from RB to the U.S. have benefited from this difference in the judging scale.

In particular, certain right-hand pitchers who are good at lateral sliding can achieve much better results in the major leagues than in the NPB.

Li Yuan, who returned to the rest area, asked Akio Yabe to exchange his experience with the ball just now.

"Like you said, the outside corner slide really works. But the other party can also use this method against us. ”

"Akikawa's Kanamori is a left-handed shot, and almost all of our starting lines are right-handed. I haven't heard of him being able to shoot balls. So today's extra piece in the outer corner, it may not be so easy for him to take advantage of. ”

……

In the first half of the second game, it was the turn of the offense to the side of the Peace School.

Ichihei Fukushima stands on the strike zone. He was greeted by a fastball with a high inside corner.

Fukushima stood still, motionless. The ball falls into the catcher's glove, the bad ball.

Akikawa's pitcher, Kanamori, threw left sideways. The point of his shot when he pitches is completely exposed to the view of the opponent's right-hand hitter.

Fukushima was sure that the ball wouldn't hit him from the start, so he didn't dodge at all.

Because of this, Akikawa's plan to try to force the opponent to retreat with an inside corner kick also failed.

The second ball, a curved ball that lobbles to the inside corner of the hitter. The intention may be to interfere with the opponent's judgment through the difference in speed difference and altitude.

Ichihei Fukushima hit the baseball with a swing. The ball bounced off the ground and smashed into his left leg.

Luckily, the part where the baseball hit happened to be wearing protective gear.

Kazuhei Fukushima called a timeout, returned to the rest area, and pulled up his trouser legs. After making sure that he was not injured with his teammates, he returned to the field again.

"If Fukushima-senpai gets injured, it won't be easy."

Li Yuanrang, who was in the rest area, said as he watched Fukushima return to the strike zone.

"yes, that's going to be a tough one."

If Fukushima is out, the pitcher who will replace him is likely to be Akio Yabe.

Considering the strength of the opponent in today's game. Yabe boarded pitching is not much different from an automatic forfeit.

On the pitch, Ichihei Fukushima hit his bat twice. Stood back in the strike zone. He signaled to his opponent that he was ready.

Jin Sen on the pitcher's mound leaned forward to confirm the catcher's code. Then he nodded.

Straightened up and threw a low-down slider.

Fukushima swung his bat early and hit the ball toward third base. The force is strong, but the height is not enough.

Third baseman Tanabe was unable to catch the ball with a glove at the first time.

Bending down to pick up the baseball that had bounced to the ground and passing it to first base, the time was still barely in time.

Fukushima was blocked in front of first base by half a pace.

"If you work harder, you might run to base."

Akio Yabe, who was about to come on the stage to strike, said to Fukushima, who had just been out.

"It's too hot today to run."

After saying this, Fukushima and Yabe high-fived and went straight back to the rest area.
