The trio got comfortable and watched the match, their eyes glued to the laptop screen.
"Oh? That pitcher is starting this game." Daichi said, feeling a little surprised.
"Wasn't that sandy haired guy their closing pitcher?" Hiroki added.
"No, I'm sure we saw him starting on the first day of the World Cup. I wonder why he hasn't been pitching lately?" Daichi scratched his head in thought as he responded.
However, Ken's eyes narrowed as he saw the guy warm up on the mound. Like his friends had said, Ryan had barely been given an opportunity to play since his team was usually always ahead.
Yet for some reason, the guy was pitching today, against a much lower ranked team, Netherlands.
'Very odd.' Ken thought to himself.
What happened in the next 45 minutes was a complete and utter slaughterhouse.
United States 17 - Netherlands 0
