"Strike!" - Kasuga's catcher caught Imai's pitch, but again, he didn't care much about the umpire's call. This time, Imai threw a fastball, challenging the batter. The ball reached the catcher's glove before he hesitated, stood up, and threw the ball toward third base to try to tag Shun out.

"Safe!" - But once again, after sliding toward the base, Shun's foot reached it first. Applause and cheers came from Shoto's dugout and the stands, but Shun simply stood up calmly and looked at Ren. Now, everything depended on the young samurai.

With just one out and a runner on third, any fly ball or even ground ball could turn into a run. Because of this, Ren's job had become much easier. However, even though he didn't need a hit to score a run, Ren let the count rise to two strikes while Shun stole the bases, making things not as easy as they seemed for the young samurai.
