Ken nodded, yet he felt a pang of worry after he made the decision.
'No point doubting myself now.' He thought, getting into his stance.
Ken sent a cursory glance to Yatsuo who was chilling on 1st base, as if to let him know that he still knew he was there.
He performed his wind up, inadvertently jutting his left elbow out slightly before letting the throw go.
Daichi's face blossomed into a wild grin as he saw the ball he'd been waiting for arrive. Yet his face changed a little when he saw the course which would end up too low for a big hit.
However, he quickly made the decision and went for it, rolling his wrists and ensuring that the bat would meet the ball at the scheduled time.
DONG!
Surprisingly, the ball had a lot of carry for one which had been hit from such a low angle. It shot at a 45 degree angle over Naoki's head and into the outfield between left and center.
