Chapter 513: Ebb & Flow (1)

"Hey didn't you say that their Ace was washed up?" A short haired teen said to his teammate, his expression incredulous.

"Strikeout! 3 outs, changeover."

The Yokosuka team felt suffocated from the pressure Ken exerted on them. Each pitch felt as if it was going to break the sound barrier.

It was scary.

Ken wiped the sweat from his brow, a grin now planted on his expression. For the first time since losing his system, he felt that things were beginning to work out.

On his way back to the dugout, Ken massaged his shoulder, feeling the fatigue build up. He'd just finished pitching the 7th inning, yet his arm was already tired.

'I guess this is what its like without the fatigue management skill.' He thought wryly.

The score was currently 2-0 in favor of Yokohama despite Ken putting on a wonderful pitching performance. Without players like Hiroki, their batting prowess had taken a hit.
