"Yang will start the First Match, followed by Imai and Narumiya in relief!
The starting catcher will be Qian!
The starting catcher for the Second Match will be Miyuki!
For the pitchers, Umemiya will start, while Daikoku and Nakajo will serve as relievers.
That's the arrangement for now. There may be some changes along the way!
First batter, right field, Kamiya (Carlos)!
Second batter, shortstop, Shirakawa!
Third batter, first baseman, Miyuki!
Cleanup Hitter-sama, center fielder, Sendou!
Fifth Batter, catcher, Qian!
Sixth batter, second baseman, Nara!
Seventh batter, left fielder, Hoshida!
Eighth batter, third baseman, Osada!
The batting order has been decided based on overall flow!
I can't guarantee that everyone will play in both matches, so prepare yourselves mentally in advance!"
Before the match began, Coach Kunimoto assigned everyone their roles for the day.
Although the roster had already been submitted to the umpires...
"Yeah!!"
"So even at the end, he didn't let players from the same region partner up!
That must have been Coach Kunimoto's arrangement too," Hirabata thought to himself.
The group did not care much about whether they would get to play. Being selected for a team like this was already a fresh and interesting experience in itself!
"Someone must have had something they wanted to arrange, right?!
Of course they did!
This kind of match doesn't benefit us at all. Just practicing together at our field has already exposed our team's training methods!" Even now, Shirakawa continued grumbling about the Exchange Tournament.
"It wouldn't hurt to let me pitch one game," Narumiya muttered.
For some reason, Miyuki could not help glancing at Narumiya!
"There's still some time before the game. You can make your own arrangements!" Having said what he needed to say, Coach Kunimoto let the boys move freely until they gathered before the match.
