Michael shot out of his seat and shouted at the top of his lungs. His earlier reluctance to show who he was cheering for was completely thrown out of the window as Japan were met with a chance.
Daichi threw the bat down in haste and quickly ran towards first base, his eyes locked onto the right outfielder.

The defense in the outfield was caught off guard. Whether it was due to complacency, or not expecting the Japanese team to actually hit the ball, no one would know.
Darius in the right outfield cursed under his breath as he made his way towards the ball. Due to his slow reaction time, there was no chance he could get under the ball for a catch, which meant he needed to make up for it on the throw back.
