The Seiko team crowded around the coach their eyes shining with determination. Ken took the initiative and placed his hand in the middle of the group, prompting Daichi to place his hand on top.
The rest of the time did the same.
"SEIKO! FIGHT!"
"FIGHT!"
That little cheer seemed to fire them up even more as they returned to their places. Keisuke and Ken both grabbed their helmets and bats before heading up onto the field.
Keisuke walked over to the batters box, raring to go. He did his usual ritual of tapping the bat on the tip of each of his shoes before squaring up towards the pitcher.
The pitcher looked average in every way whether it was height or looks he was unremarkable.
'This guy would get lost in a crowd…' He commented inwardly, however he focused in the next moment.
"Play ball!"
A few moments after the umpire called the start to the game, the pitcher sent a fastball right down the middle, shocking Keisuke.
