Chương 578: Tournament Day 2 (2)

Nico's eyes lit up, his body roaring into action.

DING

The ball shot along the ground with speed, heading into the gap between first and second base. Nico quickly discarded his bat and ran towards first base, safely arriving as the outfielder collected the ball.

"Nice hit Nico!"

On the mound, Alex clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Lucky hit." He muttered, kicking the dirt on the mound as he turned back around. It seemed that getting hit in the first at-bat had wounded his pride.

Nico on the other hand looked pleased as punch as he stood upon first base.

Unbenknownst to anyone, there were a couple of scouts in the audience right now, their attention on the pitcher. Despite his pitch getting hit, they didn't seem too affected with some taking notes and others watching Alex's reactions.
