章 386: Final Inning (2)

The Japanese team came off the field for possibly the last time in this match, their confidence at an all time high. With Ken at the mound, no one was even close to hitting his monster pitches.

Of course they still had a tall task in front of them, which was getting at least a single run in this next inning.

Once they returned, Coach Takashi stood up and addressed the players. He'd been silent for most of the game, trusting the players and not giving too much direction. Yet with the game on the line, it was now his duty to speak up.

"Well done everyone for making it this far. Last time I asked you to watch as many pitches as possible and try to understand the courses. Well this inning you'll need to go for broke."

His expression was stern, yet his eyes held belief in his team. It was this duality that gave the Head Coach a certain air about him, like he was always in control of everything.

"Yes sir!"

The team yelled back in response.
