The Incident (1)

A roar of cheers assaulted the field as Ken stepped up to the batters box for possibly the last time in the match. He had played remarkably throughout the game, not allowing Osaka to get a single run.

Not only this, he was responsible for his own teams 2 runs. 1 by way of a home run, and the other through a sneaky squeeze bunt which had guaranteed the runner a way back home.

Now he had arrived to put an exclamation point on his performance.

Ken sent a cursory look to Daichi behind the plate before getting into position. Seeing the fire in his eyes was enough to put Ken at ease for now. It seemed that his brother had not given up just yet which was good.

'Now I don't have to kick his ass.' He thought with a chuckle.

He turned his attention to Yatsuo on the mound and saw his scary expression.

'Yikes, he looks like he wants to murder me.'

It was obvious that the Osaka team was desperate. They had to get Ken out no matter what and it showed.
