Ken finally made it to home plate and saw Daichi waiting for him with a big grin on his face.
"Nice hit bro." He said, holding out his fist.
"Hehe, it's easy when you know the trick." Ken replied, bumping his fist in return.
The two approached the dugout and received all sorts of welcomes. Yet surprisingly, the first person who came up to him was the Head Coach.
"Haha! That's my boy Ken, I knew you could do it." He shouted with a jolly expression, slapping him on the back a few times out of excitement.
Just from his actions, one could tell that he was beside himself with joy.
"Err, thanks coach." Ken replied, trying not to wince from the slaps. Despite his old age, the man had some serious power that his teen body struggled to withstand.
