Bab 143: 143. Camp- Vs Tenko Middle (II)

With three outs, Rei stood up and jogged back to the dugout. He sat on the bench, took out his helmet, and looked at the scoreboard. Both the teams had 0 runs. Rei felt Suzaku did a good job in defending the opponents till now, leaving them scoreless. 

But he knew the importance of this inning. Both the teams would probably change their pitcher next inning. Meaning there is a huge chance for their ace Yoshimi to come out next inning. And when he does, they will not be able to move forward. So it would be all in this inning. 

The first batter was Kazuhiro. He walked up to the box and got ready. Chino was in the deck circle getting ready for his turn. The pitcher was consistent and pitched normally. Kazuhiro didn't stand a chance against him and got struck out immediately. With their first out, Rei stood up and took off his gear.
