"Ball!"
PAH
"Ball!"
PAH
"Strike!"
Shun grew even more confused when Isamu also just watched his pitches. He still didn't fully understand what was happening, but he began to get an idea.
He quickly glanced at Hokuto's dugout and saw the white-haired boy looking at him with a disturbing smile.
"Don't tell me he's already figured out that my control is bad? No way, it's only been three innings, and I eliminated most of the batters with strikeouts..." - Shun tried to dismiss this thought, but the truth was staring him in the face.
PAH
"Ball!"
