Unyielding Fighting Spirit

"Go on the attack, Senior Sanada!" Sanada's Fighting Spirit infected the entire team. The Yakushi Pitcher-Catcher duo responded as though they were one body.

"Pff!"

"Whoosh!"

"Smack!"

"Strike!!"

"First pitch, low and inside near the knees... strike!!!"

"This guy!!" Kuramochi's expression changed in an instant. The confidence built up from his earlier hit turned entirely into solemn focus.

"Pff!"

"Whoosh!"

"Clang!"

"Foul!"

"The second pitch was inside again!!"

"Pff!"

"Whoosh!"

"Damn it!"

"Clang!"

"Smack!"

"Out!!"

"Three consecutive inside pitches, one out!!!

But the runner successfully reached second!!"

"So aggressive!"

"That last one was a cutter, right!!!"

The spectators cried out in all kinds of amazement. Yakushi's girls were swept up in the atmosphere as well, huddling together and laughing excitedly.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Ka ha ha ha!" Yakushi's two towering guardians laughed heartily as well.

Having just taken the lead on offense and now retiring a powerful batter, they were naturally brimming with morale.

At the same time, they were putting pressure on the next batter...

After all, Seidou's batting order was also Yakushi's greatest threat.

As for allowing a runner to reach second, Yakushi definitely did not care.

Not to mention there had been no chance to get Senior Asou out just now. Even if there had been, without the possibility of a double play, they would rather have Senior Asou on second than Kuramochi on first.

Akiba had not stopped Kuramochi from advancing. Kuramochi on first was practically the same as being on second; Senior Asou on second and Kuramochi on second...

Anyone would know which to choose after comparing the two.

"Second batter! Catcher, Miyuki-kun!"

"Sanada!! We're counting on you!!"

"Stop them right here!!!"

"Decisive victory!!!"

"Strong Takeda!!"

"Senior Sanada!"

"Shunpei!"

As Miyuki stepped up, Yakushi's cheers surged.

To Yakushi, who did not know about Miyuki's
