"Thud!!!"
"Ball!"
**"The Inside Corner Ball missed the Strike Zone!!
That makes it three balls and one strike!!"**
**"Hey, hey!
He missed again!!"**
**"This isn't good!

"Is Furuya okay?"

"Of course. After pitching like that, he has to make an adjustment!!"
*Akatsuki's gone down a rabbit hole again!
We're up by three, so he probably doesn't want to give up any runs or something...
But the more anxious he gets at times like this, the worse he pitches!* Sendou thought wildly as he
