Hit it (2)

After getting his gear on, Ken walked up the stairs and began to warm up with his bat. One of the 2nd team players was up to bat first against a new relief pitcher.

It was the bottom of the 7th and the game was 0-1 in favor of Pittsburgh. While the result of the game didn't really matter since it was a friendly, Ken was the type of person who wanted to win.

There was no way he wouldn't try to win in such a situation.

Ken turned and saw that Daichi was also wearing his helmet, ready to come on the field after him.

'As long as I at least get onto base, Daichi will send me home.' He thought with confidence.

WHACK!

Ken's head snapped back to the field and he saw the ball shoot through the gap between 1st and 2nd base for an easy base run.

'Very good. We can turn the game around with me and Daichi.'
