Chương 355: First Blood (1)

"Nice work Riku!"

The Japanese bench celebrated, clapping in response to the picture perfect base hit.

Since there were only around 800-1000 members in the crowd, there wasn't much reception or ambiance. However, no one seemed to care at this point.

"I didn't know Riku was so good. After all, didn't his team lose to you in the finals?" Aki asked Ken as he scratched his shaved head.

Both Hiroki and Ken looked at Aki as if he was an idiot.

"Did you not watch the finals or something?"

"Eh, not really." He responded half-heartedly.

Hiroki was the one who chose to respond, sending a glare to Aki. "Riku's team might have lost, but he hit every ball that we threw at him. He was the only reason that the scores were so close by the end."

Ken nodded. He had been in the dugout for the whole match and every time Riku was in the batters box, his blood pressure would soar.
