First Run Score

Hearing Kuramochi's words made me realize the sheer presence of those two! If it's that guy, he can do it. If it's that guy, he can hit it! Everything was so taken for granted that I never noticed. What if neither Miyuki nor Sendou could play? What else could we do? What... could we possibly do? Whether it's offense or defense, everything would probably fall apart in an instant! This was Shirazu's most honest thought as he ran. Thwack! Out!! He... he caught it!! A Fine play by right fielder Shirazu!!! Shirazu-senpai!!! Sawamura, doing a sumo squat in the bullpen, raised his right-handed glove high and cheered loudly. Whoa!! Sanada wore an incredulous expression. Raizo Todoroki also spread his arms wide and lifted them high! Seidou players all over the stadium raised their arms, celebrating wildly as if it were a home run. This defensive play was a tremendous boost to morale. Oh, oh, oh! I just witnessed something amazing, and from up close, too!! Sawamura was already in tears as Shirazu passed near the bullpen. He wanted to convey the emotion he felt to his senior. It doesn't matter if this team relies entirely on those two! It doesn't matter if we completely depend on them! Even so, I hope to do whatever I can to contribute to the team!! Shirazu-senpai extended his right fist as he looked at Sendou, Miyuki, and the others running toward him. Miyuki took off his mask to reveal an excited smile, while Sendou similarly extended his fist in response. For Shirazu-senpai, gaining the acknowledgment of his teammates... was more than enough! In this stadium filled with an untold number of spectators, cheers erupted like a grand festival. Now! Everyone! Give another enthusiastic round of applause for Shirazu-senpai!! Come on! Now! Now! Sawamura stood
