Chapter 96: Start of a Match (1/2)
The coin was tossed, and the result, the first to attack is the Pang Mu high school.
The first to go on the field was a medium built boy wearing a beige colored uniform from the Pang Mu baseball club. He took the bat and went to the side of the home plate.
The Asakura public High School didn’t put in Rumi yet, but another lanky boy.
Waiting for the opposing team to prepare, and then the pitcher immediately threw a straight ball.
“Pow!” The ball was hit up the sky.
The Pang Mu hitter immediately dropped the bat and ran to the first base.
When the ball was caught by the second baseman, the hitter had already run past the second base.
Fortunately, in the end, the person on the third base received the ball before the opposition had the chance to run there.
“Second base hit!” The Umpire announced loudly.
“Just now was a ball, right away swinging the bat boldly.” The female manager of the Asakura baseball club wiped off her sweat.
The second batter of the Pang Mu school suddenly made a sacrifice bunt, making the Asakura baseman unable to react which allowed the Pang Mu runner to safely reach the base.
“It doesn’t matter; we have a chance.” The bearded coach of the Asakura school at the side was obviously annoyed.
“Nobody out, and a person on the third base…” The female manager recorded and sighed in her heart, ‘it’s only just been a few minutes, and we’re already in trouble.’
“Really in trouble, we should have just participated in the Koshien tournament training, why should we accompany such a bad team?” A player in the lounge of the Pang Mu school complained somewhat dissatisfied.
“We don’t have a choice. It’s because our high school principal was university students with the Asakura school principal.” A fat player in their team said with his eyes closed.
“The old guy really doesn’t know how to think, this garbage team is simply not our opponents, so there’s really no meaning to this.” Another member rested his chin on his hand and said.
“In short, let’s quickly get rid of them, ah I still have to go see the Miss Pang Mu school election.”
“That’s right, if we have a 20 point lead in before the 3rd inning, they can only obediently leave.”
Several other members loudly declared.
“A group of pesky flies,” Kazumi said coldly.
Because Masashi and Kazumi were sitting not very far from their seating area, Kazumi could also hear their voices.
The game continues, when the lanky guy pitched again, and the ball was hit.
When the Pang Mu player was rushing to the first base,
“out!” The umpire suddenly announced loudly. The Asakura school’s shortstop was able to react quickly and sent the ball back to first base.
“It seems that Asakura school’s second baseman is good.” A Pang Mu player wearing a shirt and a hat that was standing on the sidelines said quietly.
“Masato, will you enter the game?” Beside him, a pretty girl holding a scoreboard asked.
“Even if there’s a good player, if his teammates are no good, then he’ll be useless.” The boy didn’t answer but said something to himself.
“WHACK!” Another ball was hit.
Fortunately, the ball hasn’t landed, and an Asakura player caught the ball.
“Another out, a person on third base, zero points, it seems that our team isn’t performing well today.” At the east side of the stadium, a black-suited Pang Mu principal proudly said.
“Pang Mu brother, your school’s baseball team’s strength is quite famous in Tokyo. I envy you to have such a good team.” The Asakura principal flatteringly said.
“Your school also has several good members Ha Ha Ha.” The Pang Mu principal happily listened.
