Ah... That's dangerous.
With just a helmet...!
Haha I was right to come check up on things.
What an interesting development
What's up. Hurry and throw!

Night before the game
Chapter 81: I won't run

Page 03

F- For real!?
If he stands so close in the box and a in course one comes...
Uwa
Sawamura is totally up for it---
If I ran away here
there's no way I can throw in a game of the first string...

Page 04

Like I would run away----

Last one!
Compared to the previous pitcher, this one has less power.
What will we do, Coach.
Do we check him out first...
...No.
Everyone was patient enough.

Page 06

From now on we're going for the kill!
Nino!
If we can break that pitcher too,
then can get a great step closer to our victory!
Wahaha! Leave it to me!
He should have been honest and just said to score some points.
We're counting on you, Nino!!
Don't overlook naive pitches!!

Hit it---!!
Akikawa's enthusiasm is unchanged...
We're at the half-point of the game and the point difference is two.
I'm sure Seidou wants to end the inning easily and make a comeback from behind.
The question is, if this pitcher change
can change the flow of the game----

(*thump*)
(*thump*)
(you okay?)
Get the attention of the pitcher as much as possible, Takada....
I'm aiming for the wide space between first and second base.
If there's a weak pitch, I'll go at it with all my might!!

Hey, hey. Your expression is so stiff.
What's the use in continuing Furuya's power play!!
Be on your guard and look around!!
Ah...
I forgot to glare at the runner.
...Oops

I- Idiot...
Aww~~~

Page 11

....!!
...
...Kah...
That's dangerous!!
W- Where are you throwing!?
N- Nice catch, Tetsu!!
Tetsu~~!!
Calm down, idiot!!
His team-mates are kind amazing...
Get off the mound!!
T- That's why I told you!!
He totally will screw up somewhere!! (Before that happens, please use Kawakami.)

Page 12

Coa---
It's...
It's not affecting him at all.
Just what
makes the Coach believe so much in Sawamura...
(For now, thanks)
(*breath in* *breath out*)
Way too late to take a breath now!!
Do that before!!
Aw~~ He's panicked...
He's really such a pain.
But... now that he's up there
it's too late to say anything...

First a 4-Seam in course.
You can do it, right!
(Ehm...)
Hey, hey. Don't check your every grips!!
The pitch you throw for the coach----

Page 14

Page 15

O.. Ohh
Oh...
He threw without hesitation.
Right forward the Coach's chest....
What's kind of heart does
he got----
That was a 4-Seam just now?
Yes... Though the course is still a bit weak....
Heh

A great pitch full of feelings.

Come----
The first pitch...
I'll swing with everything I got---
Ohhh
Ohhh
