Chapter 108: Trust me Bro (2)

'This is it!' Hiroki felt the ball was a tad slower than the last and also right down the middle. An imperceptible grin formed on his face as he calculated the timing and trajectory of the ball.

"Goodbye."

SWOOOSH

Hiroki's face turned from grinning to complete and utter shock as his bat sailed over the baseball which seemed to have dropped right before crossing over home plate.

Shiro who had braced himself for impact, suddenly felt the ball appear in his glove like magic. He almost couldn't believe what had just happened, even though it took place right in front of his eyes.

"Was that a forkball?" He muttered, catching the batters attention.

"What? He didn't tell you what pitch he was throwing?" Hiroki turned his head and asked, his tone sounding flustered.

Shiro shook his head. "This is the first time I've caught Ken's pitches, I didn't even know he could throw a fork." He admitted.
