A Takamagahara Instant Classic: Saku's At Bat

"Any action without the remembrance of Allah is either a diversion or heedlessness except four acts: walking from target to target (during archery practice), training a horse, playing with one's family, and learning to swim" -The Prophet Muhammed

Itsuka(thinking): *Here it comes!

The off speed curveball!*

Once again Shelly's arm cocks back and delivers a speeding fastball right past another swinging Itsuka.

In disbelief, Itsuka takes a step back.

Itsuka(thinking): *She's gunna strike me out...

I'm gunna fail Saku...*

But from the dugout...

Saku: "Come one Itsuka!"

The blushing young woman looks back and sees Saku hoisting himself over the dugout fence to shout his support for her.

Saku: "You're behind in the count.

Remember what I just told you!"

Itsuka's pity washes away and she steps back to the plate ready for the payoff pitch.
