Riku stood upon 3rd base grinning ear to ear. He'd played with Masayuki enough to have such a chemistry built up between them.
"Hahaha, the old bait and switch!" He yelled out triumphantly, sending an emphatic thumbs up to the captain in the batters box.
Masayuki merely shook his head and promptly ignored the fellow. In his mind, there was no point in celebrating until they converted the run.
Gustavo the pitcher felt his eye twitch in irritation. While he couldn't understand what the Japanese players were saying, he was sure that it was nothing good.
"Such petty tricks." He said spitting on the ground.
His eyes burned with a renewed fire as he stared down at Masayuki.
'Hehe, looks like he's fired up.' Masayuki thought with a grin.
Gustavo coiled his large body before firing out a blazing fastball towards the plate. There was no doubt that he had successfully pissed him off with his previous fake bunt.
