31 First game 3

Changing to defense, Mio was curious as who was going to be the starting pitcher. Basically it was impossible for him to be the starter, either it's Sawamura, Furuya or Kawakami. For Tanba-san, he was a good pitcher so the coach will save him for important games. The other three need more experience in a real game.

'For this inning we will go with Sawamura'

'!!' Sawamura can't believe his ear so he shout excitedly.

'Is this a dream boss? I will proceed as you command boss!'

'No need'

'No! This is the boss order, come on I will slaughter you!'

The senpais and coach look embarrassed by such action.

'That idiot..'

The first inning start in such a 'lively' inning? Sawamura with his iconic catchphrase and then he's making a mistake here and there causing us the outfield and infield to huddle on the mound and scold sawamura. Well basically it was Kuramochi-senpai and Jun-senpai threatening him though. Surprisingly we made it safely without any run ceded, even though there's always runner on the best. Thanks to the senpais' support, Sawamura slowly getting into rhythm and get a pretty good results. With Miyuki's calling and sawamura's rare moving pitches it's impossible to not have a decent result.

In the second inning, we gained Three run after we connected each hit with the batter eight leading and end with Ryou-san. Maimon pretty persistent in the second inning, continuously getting on base. But with Miyuki being the catcher it's practically impossible for them to reach home. He have an amazing game calling and with a superb skills as a catcher. No wonder people call him genius catcher. On the third inning the coach substitute Sawamura with Furuya. With Furuya provoking and Sawamura the one getting pissed off, it end up in chaos. They only stop when the captain promising them to run laps.

The game basically set in stone when Furuya came next as no one can hit his pitch.

'STRIKE! THREE OUT, CHANGE!'

After that we secure two more run in the third inning. With Furuya monstrous speed pitches he was invisible on the mound. The Maimon's batter can't move an inch, fearing the fastball.

'W-what was that?'

'Did seido have such a good pitcher like this?'

'Did you hear? The rumor?'

'Seido's having a monster pitcher? Of course! With such commotion it's impossible to ignore'

'Is that the Fujikawa guy?'

'Are you blind? my baby was the one wearing number 1! How can you mistake him for someone else?!'

On the bleachers, a fierce discussions broke out among the audience and a slightly high pitch voice can be heard. With a striking silver hair, she stood out among the other audiences. She is Fujikawa Reina. Mio's mom. She came today to watch her son debut but then she heard some ridiculous remarks. She feel offended by that. How can they mistaken that boy for her cute baby! That's why she retort angrily.

On the fourth inning the coach subbed out Furuya for Kawakami and this strategy help us completely crush the opponent. With the relay pitching we can minimize the chances the opposite team to get used to the pitches because the three of them was a different kind of pitcher so it's hard to adjust and hit their pitching when the coach substitute them out after one or two inning. The match got called off in five inning with the final score 15-0. Seeing them crying, Mio felt a pang in his heart then he approached Yuki.

'Captain, I will not let you down' Mio bowed with a solemn face and left catching up with Miyuki. Yuki was stunned at first then he chuckled. Mio promise himself, he don't want to see that kind of expression on his senpais' face.
