The Shoto Junior High team managed to relax well on the bus. Coach Yamada instructed everyone to get off and start warming up thirty minutes before the game, and the Shoto players followed his orders. After everyone had completed their warm-ups, Coach Yamada led the entire team back into the stadium, and soon they found themselves standing in front of the dugout door.
Shun entered the dugout for the second time that day. This time, he went straight to his locker to put his belongings away, feeling much calmer than during the first round. He watched his friend Kenta climb the dugout steps, while the captain of Seiryu did the same on the opposite side.
"And? What's the result?" - It didn't take long for Kenta to return to the dugout, and as soon as he did, Coach Yamada asked him.
"We'll be batting first..." - Kenta said calmly.
