His eyes locked onto the 3rd base coach who was clearly taken aback by the steal attempt. It didn't take long for him to survey the scene and hurriedly turn back to Ken, signaling him to slide.
With his long frame, Ken leaped forwards and slid along the ground, placing his right hand firmly on the base.
"Safe."
The tag had come a fraction later, causing him to let out a sigh of relief.
"Nice steal Ken!"
"That's our Ace."
"ORYAAAAH"
Ken heard the rabble from the crowd and dugout, specifically Makoto who seemed to always be the loudest one on the bench. He turned only to see Ai smiling back at him with a happy look on her face.
Ken almost let out a sigh of relief after seeing the beautiful girl in the dugout. After having experienced the weird advances of the opposing short stop, he couldn't help but appreciate Ai even more.
I've heard of running over the competition, but Ken took it to another level. We're reaching the climax of the game, please stay tuned :)
