"Good job, Shun!" - Coach Yamada praised as the boy arrived at the dugout. He then continued:
"We'll change pitchers in the next inning. Sora, you're up! We still need you in right field, Shun, so stay focused on the game."
"Yes, Coach!" - Shun and Sora said at the same time.
Meanwhile, in Hokuto's dugout:
"You bastard! Why the hell did you swing, huh? Did you not hear my plan?" - Sugawara grabbed the poor second-year student who had hit into a double play by the collar and shouted angrily.
"I-I heard, senpai, but-" - The poor boy stammered, trying to explain himself out of fear, but Sugawara didn't seem interested in listening to an explanation.
"Oh, so you heard and decided to ignore me? Tell me, do you think there was something wrong with my plan?" - Sugawara spoke in a cold voice, glaring at the boy with a murderous intent in his eyes, making the poor boy tremble with fear.
