"Strikeout!" - The umpire announced the second out of the inning, firing up Shoto's battery.
'I can do this!' - Sora thought as he watched Hokuto's second batter, Toru, step into the batter's box. Coach Yamada's signal remained the same. Sora could challenge this batter head-on!
After agreeing with Daigo's sign, Sora lifted his left leg into the air and drove himself forward. The boy planted his foot hard on the ground, directing all his strength into the small white ball between his fingers.
"Ha!" - Sora unconsciously shouted as he threw a fastball on the inside part of the zone with everything he had. He knew this would be his last inning, so there was no reason to conserve his energy. He was going all out against this batter.
