'How did he hit that changeup?'
Both Ken and Daichi were stumped. They had only thrown the pitch a single time before, yet the guy was able to get a double from it.
'What a monster…' Ken thought inwardly.
"Nice hit Leo!"
The home crowd cheered loudly as finally the US team had managed to get a hit against the Japanese relentless defense. Now that it was the 8th inning, their chances to score were running out.
"It should have been me…" Sam mumbled to himself, feeling a little depressed.
Before the duo of Ken and Daichi had recovered, the announcer introduced the next batter.
"Batting 5th, 2nd base, Ryder."
A teen with black hair and a serious expression walked into the batters box. His shoulders were wide and he had long arms, reminiscent of a chimpanzee.
Though a little shaken, it wasn't exactly the end of the world if they let someone onto base. Of course that meant Ken's hopes of a perfect game were now over, but he never took notice of such things in the first place.
