Coach Yoshida's Deal (1)

The Yokosuka team was outmatched from the start, failing to secure a run throughout the whole game. Seiko had continued to attack, relying on the likes of Daichi and Kenta to send the runners home.

The game was so out of hand that it ended in the 5th innings thanks to the mercy rule with a score of Seiko 13 - Yokosuka 0.

Following this game, the Takagi family celebrated with Katsudon, a meal generally eaten when wishing for or celebrating victory. The panko fried pork paired with the fragrant rice and joyous atmosphere made the victory taste even sweeter.

Of course it was only the first game of the summer tournament, but they never knew when their last game would be.

"Your mom says that you guys won your first game. Congratulations!"

Chris's voice sounded on the loud speaker of Yuki's phone. Unfortunately he was away for work once again so he would miss out on such a delicious dinner.
