Top of the 3rd Inning.
2 outs, runner on first and second.

Gah~~ Damn. What a waste~~
If we just had one more hit.
Well, it's not that easy to hit that pitch!
But if we guard good and careful, another chance will come!
Now switch into defence mode!!
Okay, let's go!
Yeah!
You can let them hit, Shun!!
....
They let a chance with runners on first and second go and are still so energetic.

Page 05

Yeah...
Furuya-kun seems to have somewhat recovered...
But they made him throw a lot of pitches again.
Looks like the first inning
gave the opponent the momentum after all..
Uwaaaaaa
aaa

Page 06

Yeah!! (On the right)
Nice batting, Isashiki!!
Don't look down on, damnit!!
...
Such a strong hit
with a disturbed balance...

Page 07

We can't be careless with this batter, Shun...
What will we do?
A challenge!!
I'll get him out and pull the flow of the game completely to our side.
Raising the count with out course pitches...
and the last one an in course one----

Page 08

Wha---

Page 09

That hit too, he hit it near the grip and it's still making it to the outfield---?
Left---!!
Payback for earlier!!
Slip by---!!
Uwaaa, what should I do...
It's in the same spot where that other player couldn't catch it before...
WRAAAAR // !
For now
I'll use my body----

Page 10

*thwack*
!
OHHH~~ Is this for real!? // A miracle jumping catch~~!!
Rather, that was pure luck just now!!
When the ball came into the same spot
for us, we lost two points...

Page 11

A fine play to encourage the team----
C- Caught it.
I caught it.
Gyahaha. Don't cry, Takada~~!!
The flow of the game
is completely on their side now---

Page 12

Strike, batter out!!
Don't worry, Furuya...
Just concentrate on your pitching.

Page 13

I have to get on the base no matter what.
To create a chance---
There won't be a sloppy pitch...
And I can't hope for four balls, so...
I can only go about it positively!!

Page 14

It slipped through!
Make it, Kunimi!!
Calm down!!
Kuh...
I need to create a----
S- Shun.

Page 15

Out!!
Ohhhh, Kunimi!!
Nice toss! Nice cover, Shun!
...
Now it's two outs!!
Kuramochi-senpai....
Don't mind!!
What's there to mind. // It pisses me off instead!!
Another fine play by Akikawa... // Seidou sure has trouble in making a chance.
Yeah...

Page 16

Because they sealed the two most important functions...
Strike!
Again...
You're too soft, Ref...
If such a pitch get a strike
then we need to hit all these in dubious places.
Another bold one---

Page 17

!!
Now it's a breaking ball---

Page 18

Great, right at the pitcher!!
Nice pitch, Shun!!
W- We're completely holding down Seidou's line-up
with Shunshin's pitching...
And everyone, encouraged by his pitching, his in high spirits...
They're not stiff at all despite playing against a power house...
If it goes like this to the end...

Page 19

He hit that breaking ball
with pure tenacity...
Heh
What you would expect from a famous team...
There's no hesitation in the swing of their players...
One more point...

Page 20

To complete corner that team
I want to score one more point...
Not good...
The temperature is raising.
