The stadium was unexpectedly packed with people. The match between Seido who determined to go koshien this year and the sudden emergence of Yakushi defeating Ichidai one of Tokyo West's powerhouse school. What's more the audience are curious which one will came out as the winner. Seido with it's offense and defense to be watch out or Yakushi with it's swing enough to rack score for a called off game?. That's why this match is one of the match that the people have been looking for.
'Will Yakushi defeat seido? or seido will continue their ambition without backing down?'
'We just need to watch the game'
Discussions was heard everywhere in the stadium. The conversation only stop when the announcer announce the player can take each dugout.

'Captain!'
Yuki got called to determine the order which school to start with defense and offense respectively.
'Tetsu-san make sure to have a good luck there!'
'No need to consider Tetsu, we will crush them!'
Jun still didn't let go of his irritation as people expect seido to lose out, so he basically fuming.
'Jun-Senpai is right! With seido heart we will annihilate them!'
'Eijun-kun you can't say that!'
Furuya nodded
'..Furuya you too?!'
*nodded nodded*
'..'
When the captain come back.
'We defend first'
'It's okay, our goal doesn't change. Furuya go. Don't hold back, you had your senpai on your back'
When the coach heard their turn, he just state his standing and encourage Furuya. Furuya's growth was building steadily fast along with Sawamura but the coach know that they can't handle Yakushi's lineup but it's good to build up experience.
'WITH THIS THE MATCH BETWEEN SEIDO AND YAKUSHI COMMENCE'
when Furuya got in the mound the bleachers and Yakushi's dugout is in uproar. It's not even Tanba who's starting but their first year.
'Can seido handle Yakushi?'
'Isn't Seido looking down on Yakushi? '
'Idiot, you think seido is that simple?'
Furuya's fastball is good but then this is Yakushi we're talking about. Furuya throw around 12 pitches against the batter lead by none other than, Todoroki Raichi. The first two batter is bearable but then when it's come Raichi, his pitch got fouled easily and Furuya also depends heavily on the fielder.
'It's okay Furuya, just relax'
'We're here there's nothing to be afraid off'
Furuya barely made it the first inning but the coach and senpais understand the pressure he's facing so they just let Furuya sit and rest.

'BATTING FIRST LEFT FIELDER, FUJIWAKA-KUN'
Mio came out and the seido's band cheer loudly.
*hufff*
Mio stand next to the plate and eyeeing the pitcher. Sanada Junpei, in the original anime he was one of the best pitcher in West Tokyo. Mio concentrate. When Sanada see Mio's focus gaze he find it interesting. He heard all kind of stuff about Mio but it's seem seeing him in person make him alert. Based on his evaluation on him, he never saw Mio look down on his opponent but above all he even never doubt his team strength. A tough opponent. The catcher sign for an outside pitch , trying to intimidate Mio.
*nodded*
Sanada ready himself and do his motion. When Mio saw the pitch he grin, did the battery think he can't hit it? . It's good to let the team see a few kind if pitches but Mio felt that he need to catch Yakushi off guard, he swing.
*Ding*
'The ball is long! is it going outside? No! the ball flew past the right field and hit. IT'S A HIT! Fujikawa hit a RBI-single.'
The commenter shout excitedly. The right fielder take the ball but then suddenly he heard the commotion.
'Faster!'
'No! He's heading for second!'
The right fielder throw the ball to the shortstop and just when the shortstop want to throw to second, Mio sprint towards the third base.
'Oh no! faster! '
'Flower boy!'
'He's heading for third!'
Shock and disbelief
The shortstop throw his best but Mio beat him.
'SAFEEEE!'
'UNBELIEVABLE! FUJIKAWA SWEPT PAST TO THE THIRD BASE WITH A RBI! THE YAKUSHI FIELDER CAN'T DO NOTHING BUT LET HIM! '
'WOAHHHHH! did you see?!'
'That number 1 run fast!'
Mean while both the dugout shows different reactions, disbelief and happiness. Of course Yakushi was the latter.
The catcher watch Mio standing on third base with an intense gaze. Did Sanada throw a weak pitch? No, it's thrown perfectly so there's only one assumption or conclusion. He aim for it! he's a monster, how can he hit it from his first try?. When the catcher take a look on Sanada, his pupil shook. Sanada is smiling creepily.
'BATTING SECOND SHORTSTOP, KURAMOCHI-KUN'
