章 359: Dominant Performance (1)

Ken arrived in the dugout, only to quickly walk back onto the field with his bat and helmet equipped. He was the first at bat for the top of the 2nd inning.

"Batting 6th, Right outfield, Ken"

He was one of the lucky ones who didn't face their name being pronounced incorrectly by the announcer, yet Ken didn't care.

As he stepped into the batters box, Ken felt a sense of excitement wash through him. While there weren't as many spectators as Koshien and the atmosphere made it feel like a casual pick up game, this was not the case.

He was playing for Japan, something he'd dreamed of for many years.

'Time to put my stamp on the match.' He thought with a grin.

Ken wanted to leave his mark in this World Cup, to spread his name to the American clubs and let them know he was coming. He didn't know when, but it would be some time in the future.

WHOOOSH

DOOOONG!
