Chương 50: Summer Tournament (2)

"As we know, our next opponent is Yokosuka middle school. While they have never really had much success, we can not afford to underestimate any team at this moment. Especially since we haven't had a proper game at all this season." The Coach stated, moving his gaze over his young players.

"That being said, I will be sending out our best players for this match."

He spun the whiteboard around, revealing a list of players and their positions and batting order next to their names.

Ken felt like closing his eyes, feeling a lump crawl up to his throat.
