It is said that there was a trace.
Keiji Monma, who led Tokai University Sagami to the championship, entrusted the starting mound to ace Shun Ishida in the quarter-finals and semi-finals. However, at the end of the day, Eiki Ishikawa was started with a uniform number of “18”, and Kotaro Motome, a sophomore, was in the middle, and Ishida was finally dispatched in six pinches. He explained the reason.
“Yesterday’s comment from Tenri’s director Nakamura (Ryoji), Tatsu’s (Kota) comment and the condition of Kuroyanagi (Toru) from Chukyo University, etc., came to my eyes (through the press) … “
Tenri, who played Tokai University Sagami in the semifinal the day before, did not use the big ace. Considering that he injured his left flank in the previous game and that he had already thrown 459 balls in three games thus far, he took good care of them and saved them. In the second game of the semifinal that followed, Chukyo University ace Kuroyanagi, who had thrown 379 balls in the previous three games, relieved from the middle of the fourth inning, but said, “I can’t put my strength in my arm, “two and three minutes I was off the mound at 1.
“Glad to be here, huh?”
Ishida was a relief in the first and second rounds, but the quarter-finals and semi-finals were ruled out consecutively. The number of pitches wasn’t enough to reach the “500 pitches a week” limit, but there was no question that he was tired.
I look back at the moment when Kadoma spoke to Ishida the night before.
“Ishida was so excited that he had to go (leave) tomorrow. I’m glad I was here, but there’s also Ishida’s future. Connected, connected, and finally Ishida, he was angry.”
Ishida took the mound in the 6th inning, 2 outs, 1st and 2nd base pinch, tying 2-2. Ishida, who passed there, didn’t allow the score until the ninth inning.
However, the fatigue was obvious. The straight, which had registered 140 kg the day before, is full on this day to half the 130 kg. As for the decisive ball, there were many changing balls. Kadoma says.
