Yokohama vs Zama High (2)

'Good course and good speed.'

DOOONG!

"Eh?"

Hiryu watched on in shock as the ball which was meant to be sitting securely in his glove soar into the air towards the right foul post.

'G-Go out!'

He quickly stood up and shouted inwardly for the ball to enter the foul zone. He didn't want to give up 3 runs in the very first innings, especially since they had only gotten 1 out so far.

BANG

The sound of the ball hitting the foul post reverberated around the grounds, crushing the hope of the Zama High players.

"I'm home~" Jun called out, placing his foot onto home plate after rounding 3rd base.

He waited for Makoto and Hiroki to complete their victory lap, ruffling his hair affectionately when he arrived.

"ORYAAA! Nice homer Hiroki!"

Makoto went a step further and pulled Hiroki into a bear hug, almost causing the air in his lungs to be squeezed out.
