"Don't be nervous Kohai, we're all on the same team." A soft yet trustworthy voice rang out from behind him, surprising Shiro quite a bit.
"A-Ah thank you Senpai." He muttered, suddenly feeling a little better.
"I'm Yuta, a third year. Nice to meet you." Yuta smiled warmly.
"I'm Shiro, nice to meet you too." He replied.
The small chat and introduction seemed to have calmed any nerves that Shiro had leftover, allowing him to concentrate. He saw the first ball coming and decided to let it through.
Unfortunately the umpire called it a strike despite being just outside of the strike zone by his calculations. Since he was a catcher, he was well aware that the way a catcher framed a pitch could have a great impact on calls.
Ken strikes back with a beautiful home run to put the 2nd squad up in the first innings. Will he be able to keep the momentum when he finally steps onto the mound?
