章 211: First Game (1)

The sound of a siren blasted out over the stadium, followed by the cheers of those in attendance. Ringing the siren was a tradition that dated back to as early as the 1930's, used to signify the beginning and ending of each match during Nationals.

Ken looked down at the field from his position, surrounded by his teammates. Since his father had gotten one of the general entry seats, it was likely that there were no seats left in his vicinity.

So he decided to stay with the team instead.

"Batting first, Short stop, Daisuke."

A beautiful voice and smooth cadence rang out over the stadium, soothing those who listened to it.

"Oh awesome, they actually announce your names here?" Tatsuya spoke up, feeling a bout of motivation.

"Yeah it's like a real professional game." Hiroki replied. He too seemed excited, though likely not for the same reasons as Tatsuya.
