Capítulo 73: Mad Rush (2)

Meanwhile, on the field Daichi called a time out and walked up to the mound to where Kouichi was standing before waving Ken over.

Ken was still depressed after he made such a bad play and allowed a free run. They were now in the same situation with loaded bases and only 1 out, putting significant pressure on the team.

He expected to receive a grilling from Daichi, however it was the opposite.

"Kouichi, why didn't you cover first base?"

'Huh?' Ken who was busy looking at the ground suddenly raised his gaze and looked at Daichi oddly.

"A-Ah sorry. Everything happened so fast that I didn't react in time." Kouichi replied, also a little perplexed that he was the one being scolded.

Daichi looked over his shoulder at the opposition coach who was currently chatting with the next two batters. His intuition was telling him that they would likely try the same thing after seeing Ken's throwing issue.
