"That's it, Haruki!" - Kenshin continued to cheer energetically after the second home run.
In the end, Haruki managed to improve his performance compared to his first-round turn. He hit 7 home runs before his pitch count dropped to zero.
"He did even better than in the first round! But..." - Shun looked at the young man walking toward the batter's box. Unfortunately for Haruki, his opponent was a monster when it came to hitting home runs.
