Nishiura Tomoya is a sophomore player in the baseball department of Shiratsuyama High School, and his garrison positions are the catcher and third baseman.

From the words of Komata Meteor, Takashi Nishino learned that Baishan lost to Tianjin Shang 7-11 in the seed team.

Even worse news is that in order to catch Kazuya Nishino's explosive pitch during the game, Tomoya Nishiura, who was the catcher, was injured in his finger.

During the period when Tetsu Nishino was selected for U18, he was originally a substitute catcher Nishiura Tomoya temporarily served as the main catcher.

Now that he is injured, he will not be cured for a while, and Supervisor Totoshi had to let Komata meteor turn to the catcher position.

Before Tetsu Nishino, Komata Meteor was the only junior student in Shiratsuyama's starting lineup, relying on his all-rounder characteristics.

Outside, inside, capture, and throw.

Komata Meteor has fought in these 4 positions, and can be fought.

The retirement of third-grade players has caused Bai Shan's strength to decline rapidly, and the level of second-grade players has not yet been able to make up for the missing parts.

Moreover, the opponent Tianjin Shang, the seed team decided to play, is also a strong team, and once played in Hagar in 2015.

Originally, during the practice competition, Baishan High School won not have good results. Now that I lost the first formula game in the fall, it is even more worrying.

Before the U18 Grand Tour trial, the seed team decided to fight Baishan and lost, but Komata Meteor never told Takashi Nishino, for fear that he would be affected.

In the next half month, Takashi Nishino will play in the Asian Youth Championship. Even if he informs his troops about the situation, he will have no choice but to help.

"How about Kaya now?" asked Tetsu Nishino.

"There are always Kazuya's starters in recent games, but she is in a bad state and has unstable ball control. She can easily get hit if she makes a forced shot."

Komata meteor smiled bitterly.

"I squatted him, but I didn't dare to match the ball. I could only take the ball wherever he shot."

"Now, relying on the relay of Chen Ji and the people who have joined the department, barely maintaining the pitcher lineup."

"Oh, there will be another fight in a few days, and the second representative will decide to fight."

"If we lose again, we will start from the first battle in the fall county conference."

"Sorry, I have said so many despicable words to Xiaozhe." Kojita Meteor said embarrassedly.

"It's okay, I'm also a member of the team. I can tell me anything, although I can't help now."

After finishing the call with Komata Meteor, Takashi Nishino sat by the bed worriedly.

"Xiaozhe, what's wrong? Look at your melancholy look." Okugawa Kyoshinobu washed up and walked into the room.

At this time, Yoshida Hiroseki, who was idle and had nothing to do, might be visiting Kashimuren.

"Senior Okawa, I'm thinking about what's happening in our department."

"What happened to the ministry? Is there a formula war now? Well, the district preliminaries for the county conference have almost begun in the fall."

"What? Is there something wrong?" Okugawa Kyoshinobu wondered.

Tetsu Nishino sighed.

"Oh, we lost the seed quota in the regional qualifiers, and the new team is not in good condition after they form."

"Lost the Regional Preliminary?"

Okugawa Kyoshinobu was stunned. Can you lose the regional preliminaries?

But soon he remembered that Baishan High School was a team that was a first round tour in the past few years, and it was only this summer that he miraculously entered Jiaziyuan.

"We have problems with the new team. The third-grade seniors have retired, so we rely on these two-year students to support them."

"It's hard for everyone else to be on the list except Uchiyama, after all, it's only one year."

"Uh, I forgot that Xiaozhe, you are also an annual student."

Okugawa Kyoto stretched out his head and smiled silly, remembering that Takashi Nishino was the main force as soon as he joined the school, and was not among the ordinary year-round.

The team is in a bad condition during this period, and Tetsu Nishino is indeed unable to participate because he still has to participate in the U18 event.

I sent a Line message to Kazuya Nishino and received a reply like "Don't worry" and "It's okay". Tetsu Nishino didn't have to say more.

……………………

On the second day of the Zhuangxing Trial Game, the U18 team went to Mingda Stadium and prepared to play a practice game with Meiji University Baseball Team.

The day before, the competition with the university Japanese team was a night game, and it was almost 22 o'clock when I returned to the dormitory.

Today's practice competition with Mingda was held in the morning, and the itinerary was relatively rushing.

After a few days of Tokyo training and competition, the players' fatigue reached its peak.

After arriving at the stadium, Superintendent Yuji Nagata kept staring at the players' practice and warm-ups.

“The pass starts very heavy, and the baton hits are heavy.”

This series of three consecutive battles was intentionally done by Yuji Nagata.

Considering that the schedule of the Asian Youth Championship is 3 consecutive games in 3 days, Yuji Nagata wants to play 3 consecutive games during this Tokyo gathering, so that his players can digest this rhythm in advance.

"Okawa, Nishino, you will form a starter in this game. Okawa needs to make a starter. Nishino, please pay attention to the number of balls. Do you understand?"

"Yes, coach." Tetsu Nishino replied.

This game was originally scheduled to be 7 innings, and Kyoshinobu Okugawa expected to start long, which means that there will not be many pitchers coming from the relay.

The game started, Meiji University first attacked.

During the trial contest warm-up in the practice area, Kyoshi Okawa was in good condition, but at the beginning of the game, he made the mistake of playing in Lijiao University.

The topic that continues from the competition with Lijiao University.

The ball floats on the road.

Especially as the main straight ball, Okugawa Kyoshinobu shot high one after another.

The ball floated to the easy-to-play area and was locked by the Meiji University hitter.

The start of the game, the hitters were 3 hits, and no one was out of the box, and Kyoshi Okawa's pitch was hit hard.

"Senior Okawa, put it down a little."

Tetsu Nishino found time to make adjustments for Okugawa Kyoshi.

Standing on the pitcher mound, Okugawa Kyoto lowered his head, bulged his mouth and slowed down for a while, and slowly found his state under the guidance of Takashi Nishino.

In the midst of a full crisis, he struck out four or five consecutive bats.

However, it has always been a full base, and it is still difficult to do not get hit. In the end, it was lost 1 point in the first half of the first inning.

In the second game, the problem of Okugawa Kyoshi's ball floating on the ball has reappeared, or he is a pitcher who is competing with the hitter at a high position.

If you don’t grasp the high pitch, you will naturally be hit by the hitter.

In the second game, Okugawa Kyoshi lost 2 points.

"It seems that we need to adjust the proportion of straight balls, increase the number of balls in other types of balls, and lower the change balls."

Realizing the pitching problem of Okugawa Kyoshino, Takashi Nishino corrected the ball to him and guided him to readjust.

In the end, Kyoto Okugawa lost 4 points in 5 shots and went back to the rest seat.

Starting from the 6th game, Takaoka Jun's left-handed shot Yamada Ryushen Denban and partnered with Tetsu Nishino to save the last two games.

Playing online, Supervisor Nagata Yuji changed the lineup of the hitters.

The prerequisite for the general Fujiwara Kyota and Takuyaki Takuyaki.

Fujiwara Kyoda, who was originally the fourth player, mentioned a stick, and Takuya, who was the seven-player, went to the second player.

This is also the intention of Supervisor Yuji Nagata. He wants Fujiwara and Hinata to stand at one more seat.

It turns out that Xiaoyuan Haidou, which was originally a one-shot, was changed to three-shot, and four-shot, Neiyoshi, and five-shot, Tetsu Nishino.

The pitcher lost points, and the U18 team's hitters scored them back with support points, and finally tied a 4-4 draw with Meiji University.
Chapter completed!
