Ken finally made it back to the dugout after his home run. He was well received, dishing out high fives like they were free samples at the grocery store.
"Looks like you broke that pitcher." Coach Hanada said with a somber tone.
While it was good for their team that they had overcome the opposing pitcher, Seiji Hanada was passionate about mentoring the younger generation. Seeing such things filled him with sorrow.
He glanced at the opposing coach who was calling out words of encouragement from the dugout. There was a look of panic in his face, yet it eventually changed into acceptance.
"Good… At least that guy noticed." Coach mumbled.
The opposing coach then organized for a pitcher change, personally heading up to the mound and collecting Hiroshi to bring him out of the game.
Since he had now been substituted, there was no way he could get back into the game, meaning Zama High was now without their Ace.
Yokohama take a substantial lead after mentally breaking the opposing Ace. I'm so glad Yusuke is back, the team seems to be shaping up really well.
We'll be heading over to Osaka soon to check up on our fave little bro. Hope you're enjoying the story so far :)
