Hikaru found himself standing in the dugout getting ready for the game. Hikaru could hear the band playing the school’s anthem…and for once Hikaru was overwhelmed.
‘This is insane!’Hikaru thought
About that time Yuki walked up and shouted:
“LET’S GO!”
“YEAH!”the others replied
Seidou ran out to the field along with Maimon’s team. Hikaru was excited for the game, but truthfully it was too hot. Seido had gotten lucky and gotten to bat first… Kuramochi was getting ready to bat, and Hikaru was watching Maimon’s pitcher closely. Hikaru was surprised when Masuko, Yuki, and Jun came to stand by him. Hikaru was bewildered to see who the pitcher was for Maimon. Kuramochi was to, since he said:
“Dude…..Number 10? Where is the southpaw ace? Not to mention he’s a submarine pitcher.”
Hikaru heard Chris’ notebook pages being turned. So Hikaru turned his attention to him.
“Number 10, Mamoru Minamidaria, Third-year. He played as a pitcher as a first-year. However, he hasn’t been a pitcher in an official game since then. It’s almost unthinkable, but he must have spent two years practicing his submarine pitch just for this summer.”Chris said
Hikaru turned his attention back to the game at hand.
“If that’s true then this game just got a little bit harder.”Hikaru replied
“Why do you say that?”Jun asked
“If someone practiced a pitching technique for that long….”Hikaru started
“Then there is no way there are no fruits from his training.”Chris said getting into the conversation.
Hikaru nodded then looked over at Mainmon’s coach. His smile annoyed Hikaru.
‘Just because you changed pitchers doesn’t mean anything…Gosh, is all the coaches in this bracket this smug?’Hikaru wondered
“PLAY BALL!”The umpire shouted
Hikaru glanced at Kuramochi at bat…
‘Now what are you going to do Yoichi.’ Hikaru thought
Hikaru watched as Kuramochi got ready to bat. Hikaru watched as the Maimon’s pitcher threw his first pitch. Hikaru felt anticipation growing while the pitcher went through his stants….but when he released the ball Hikaru felt all the excitement fade.
‘That can’t be it…that ball sucked!’Hikaru thought ‘but, his pitching style is lower than Kawakami-Senpai…’
Hikaru watched as Kuramochi got out…Jun and Yuki were getting ready to go out.
