Anticipation (1)

When the team arrived at Condron Ballpark the sun hung proudly in the sky, the summer heat humid and bringing on sweat easily. The atmosphere was buzzing as the guys made their way into the locker rooms.

Ever since the announcement of their opponent, Ken had been training like a man possessed, an action that did not go unnoticed by his team. As the Captain, he was leading by example, though it was not his intention.

Facing Leo again was something he had not expected so soon. Originally he had thought the guy would have chosen to enter the draft last year, however it looked like he had stayed in order to graduate.

This suited Ken just fine. In fact, he was far more excited about these games than the prospect of winning the College World Series, though Ken decided to keep this much to himself.
