Kapitel 1005: V3 ch239 @ OLU (3)

Bottom of the second had a bit of a late start with Mitchell being the last out. It gave Dave an extra second to calm down after Noah's verbal attack. Dave started with batter five, getting him to go down swinging for his first strikeout of the game. I saw him glance back to smirk at Noah. Unfortunate move on his part. The next two batters hit grounders to Noah, making him responsible for two of the three outs in the inning. 

And Noah let him hear it as they jogged back to the dugout. "That's what I'm talking about! Throw the splitter more. I want all the grounders!"

Mitchell chuckled, earning a glare from Dave. Mitch shrugged helplessly. "What? Your splitter doesn't have enough break yet, so they keep getting the top part of the ball. It's not like I can control where the grounders go."

Dave stormed to his bag, switched his gear, and headed for the dugout exit with his bat. He passed Garret on his way out. 

Garret gave him a thumbs up. "Nice pitching."
