Match Continues.

After Rutgers lost their second batter, their whole dugout was as silent as it could be, the whole dugout was talking with each other, and they were not sending any new batter at all.

Lukas looked at his teammates, then at the coach, who was gesturing him to calm down and stay on the pitch.

After much discussion, the Rutgers coach came onto the field, he was a middle-aged man wearing the typical Rutgers jersey and walked towards Lukas.

Lukas stood there without any hesitation as he was not sure what was happening, and then he looked at the captain, Lukas's team captain was also running towards him.

"Boy, are you from this college?" The coach of the Rutgers asked Lukas directly. Lukas just nodded his head.

"Mr.McMahon, you can't charge at our players like that," Captain said while standing beside Lukas.

Coach Henry also came in by now, and he was fuming with anger. He then looked at the umpires, who were just shrugging their shoulders, as it was an internal dispute.

" Why would I cheat?" Henry asked as he looked at the Rutger coach with a red, angry eye.

"I don't know, maybe because you want to desperately win," the Rutgers coach said. He was also in an offensive mode for some reason.

The whole Rutgers team then came and joined while the Princeton Tigers were not quiet either, so there was a huge argument about it, and they decided to use Lukas only in the last innings as he was not yet an official member of the team, and this conclusion made Coach Henry angry.

Lukas then returned to fielding, which he felt a little weird about but very fun because girls were winking at him and boys were nodding with appreciative gazes, which felt very nice.

Suddenly, when a ball traveled in his direction, he jumped and caught it. Before he could even understand, a player from his team hugged him tight. He looked extremely happy and very appreciative.

Even the captain came and praised him for doing very well in the fielding and took him to infield, Lukas here felt the ball was a little tough to catch, and he felt only excited while enjoying the game, and not that much pressure was on him anyway.

As Lukas was enjoying the game, it was getting late, and huge floodlights were turned on to play the game, and the moment was getting heated because nobody was scoring, only pitchers were getting successful outs.

In the 8th inning Lukas got a chance to bat, and everyone was looking forward to it, especially the fat coach, who wanted Lukas to perform well, and his eyes were almost bulging out to see how Lukas would perform.

Lukas, who was not ready for batting, got an oversized helmet because everyone uses their personal helmets, and he didn't have one.

Lukas didn't care, as he was not confident about hitting a ball anyway, so he went to the batter's box and held the wooden bat in his hand. Before getting this bat, the captain told him this was his lucky bat.

Lukas looked the pitcher in the eye and nodded his head as it was inning number eight and the score was 0-0, their team was barely maintaining a draw. As the pitcher saw Lukas nodding his head, he smiled and threw the ball super fast.

76 MPH

Lukas, seeing the ball rapidly coming towards him, smiled because it was as if he were seeing it in slow motion, and his wooden bat was ready to answer it.

*Ta~ak*

The crisp sound the ball made after getting perfectly hit by the bat was so satisfying to hear that Lukas nodded his head in satisfaction.

The ball went up in the air and flew higher and higher and left the fence in a grand manner, the whole field erupted with huge noise and stood up in shock.

Lukas was just giggling because the shot was that satisfactory, and he was now as if addicted to people's exaggerated reactions to him.

"H…Homeeeeee Runnnnnnn" The loud cheer was from the commentators, who were just doing their thing until Lukas showed his magic with pitching, and they plugged in on the speakers of the field.

" Dumb ass, run." A loud noise came from the dugout as Lukas was the only player on the field. Lukas showed his tongue with a wry smile in response, as it was his mistake, and he ran as fast as he could.

Lukas did a circle and stood in the batter's box again, the fat coach was just beside the fence as he was excited beyond belief, and his whole face was red in excitement.

" Oii…Coach What's the name of that young man"? A beautiful girl asked as she was standing in the audience and was from Princeton University.

" L…Lukas, his name is Lukas." Coach Henry didn't mind, as he was excited to spread Lukas's name as well.

*Lukaaaaaas*

*Lukas*

*Clap~clap~clap*

A chant started from that girl, and the whole field was chanting Lukas's name continuously, on the other hand, Lukas was just focused on the pitcher as he was about to pitch once again.

After Lukas nodded his head, the pitcher threw the ball. The pitcher was actually sweating because this boy in front of him was very young but had a fan base, so although it was a risk, he threw his special curveball.

Lukas was smiling as the ball that was coming towards him was even slower than the last one. Lukas smiled cockily and used his bat, the ball, however, before touching Lukas's bat, turned a little.

*Tik*

Lukas felt weird after striking that shot and was not satisfied at all, the ball just went up in the air and was caught by a Rutgers player.

"Out"

With Lukas's batting journey and innings ended, Lukas returned to his dugout while lowering his head, but his teammates gave him courage as this was the ninth and the final innings, and he had to pitch.

The score was 1-0. If Lukas gives a single run, they lose the match once again.
