Third Round (10)

PAH

Aoba's captain caught the ball in his glove and looked directly at Ryosuke, who was still sprinting toward him with everything he had.

"Damn!" - Ryosuke cursed as he saw the catcher standing in front of him with the ball. He slid toward home plate, hoping something would go wrong and Aoba's captain wouldn't be able to tag him out.

Unfortunately for Ryosuke, Aoba's captain wasn't a player who couldn't handle a basic play. The boy with glasses quickly tagged Ryosuke with his glove before he could reach home plate.

"Out! 3 outs, changeover!" - The umpire announced.

"Fuck!" - Ryosuke cursed loudly as he was called out. He stood up and walked back to the dugout, clearly frustrated.

Takeya watched the scene with a strange expression. Since Ryosuke was the one tagged out, he would return to bat again in the next inning. Takeya followed behind Ryosuke without saying a word.
