Masterful Play (1)

The game seemed to have reached a fever pitch after Ken put an end to the 4th innings. The crowd was enamored as the two teams battled back and forth. While it wasn't a high scoring game, the outstanding pitchers brought loads of excitement.

Both Ken and Yatsuo were flawless throughout the next 2 innings, not letting a single player onto base. Of course a large part of their success could be attributed to the calls and leads of their respective catchers.

Soon enough it was the top of the 7th innings with the score still sitting at 1-0 in favor of Yokohama. There were many who had counted out their team even before the match had started, yet these people were silent now.

Back in Yokohama, Tetsu was at the edge of his seat as his eyes were glued to the TV. He had learned to block out Yuki's nervous blabbering in the background since the last time he said something he had almost died.
