Status Quo (2)
Once again Ken entered his wind up and sent a blitzing fastball, this time right down the middle of the strike zone.
As if he was expecting another ball, the batter did not swing, only to feel regret a moment later.
"Strikeout!"
The player looked crestfallen as he made his way back to the dugout, however he received plenty of consoling words from his teammates when he returned.
Coach Goto's eyes narrowed, focusing on the smiling catcher.
'He's got good instincts…'
As the next batter came up to the field, Carlos grabbed his gear and waited. His eyes met the coach's for a moment before he shook his head in disappointment as if to say "I told you so."
The next batter was sent back quicker than the last, also falling victim to the intense pitches of the opponent.
As Carlos made his way to the batters box, both the field and the audience went quiet, as if affected by the intense atmosphere.
