"Is that really how he plays baseball?!"
"Don't think about it! That kind of thing..."
After all, some time had already passed.
Still, that atmosphere showed the difference between a practice match and an official game!
The only thing as intimidating as an official game was the cheering from both dugouts!!
"Smack!"
"Ball!"
"Ah! Three balls!!"
"This batter has such a good eye!!"
"With the game ending on the final strike, all you can do is praise the batter's composure!!"
"That makes it a full count!!"
"They'll settle this now, right?!"
"Seidou's battery!!"
"Yeah!"
"With Miyuki's style, without a doubt!!"
As Hino's fifth batter kept fouling pitches off, the spectators' emotions were stirred up as well!!
"Though they still had a comfortable lead, after seeing the batter's determination, they were now facing the danger of one run on a hit and two runs on a long hit..."
"Could he still fully commit to his throw!!"
"The coach won't be sending in another pitcher for this game!"
"In other words, if he showed weakness here and got caught..."
"To put it in terms of a possibility close to zero, even if you lost, they still wouldn't take you off the pitcher's mound!!"
"Now is the perfect chance to show a pitcher's instincts!!" Miyuki said with a smile, raising his glove.
"Two outs!!"
"Two outs!!"
"Get him, Tojo!!" Sawamura shouted, throwing an arm into the air.
"Sawamura-senpai! Ice pack! Ice pack!!" Yui hurriedly reminded him, afraid that Sawamura might accidentally yank off his ice pack with that motion.
"Whew!"
"Inhale!"
"Pff!"
"Whoosh!"
"Smack!"
"Pff, smack!"
Tojo threw a beautiful slider, and after it hit the ground, the ball bounced into Miyuki's glove.
"Looks like he really did commit to his throw!" Miyuki smiled faintly, then stood and threw to first.
