Capítulo 136: 136. Camp- Vs Seiki Middle (IV)

The batter made his way back into the dugout and Ren came up to the plate. He didn't look at Rei and concentrated on Takashi. Rei took a deep breath, trying to calm his mind. Rei asked at a low pitch. Ren didn't react and only let it pass through for a called strike. 

Rei threw the ball back and asked for a pitch right near Ren's chest. Takashi threw the pitch and Ren was able to bring his bat down at the correct time. He connected, and the ball flew into the foul territory. With two strikes, Rei got a bit of confidence and sent out the slider symbol. Takashi nodded and Rei asked for the pitch at the corner. 

Takashi took a deep breath and changed his grip behind his glove. Takashi threw it and Ren reacted to the ball, but the ball suddenly curved, catching Ren off guard, and it fell right into Rei's mitt for the third strike.
