~SATURDAY~

Today is the day for 2nd game and also the start of NAC

(National Academic Competition)

~IN SEIDO'S DUGOUT~

the players are starting to warm-up and sawamura's pitching in the bullpen

'i'm in the three-hole?' haruichi remember the coach's announcement yesterday

"it's the result of how you've been playing so be sure to swing confidently if you get too tense you won't be able to swing properly " maezono said while smiling big to haruichi

"i'm getting a mixed vibes from you" haruichi said sweatdropping

"what are you talking about?"maezono ask remember the coach's announcement yesterday he's now batting fifth

"furuya let's show them! make some big plays "director ota cheered since furuya releasing his aura

"it's your starter debut" tojo greeted kanemaru

"yeah, im a little scared" kanemaru said since it's his first time as a starter

"ok looking good" miyuki said as he throw the ball back to sawamura

'are you going to breathe every ounce of air in here' miyuki thought sweatdropping while watching sawamura do his daily breathing exercise

"hya ha ha looking pretty good, sawamura though it's all about how you pitch on the mound that counts" kuramochi said

"no need to tell me right before the game!" sawamura replied yelling

"what? don't tell me your nervous"

"of course i am it's my first time starting and there's something i want to try too"

"he's been using his head in practice lately i see him coming up with pitching sequences now that he knows his outside pitch is effective, his thoughts on the inside pitch have changed though for sawamura he probably understands it better with his body than with his head" maezono commented while watching them

"let's go! i'll look at your pitch from the box " kuramochi said while standing as a practice batter

"thank you"

'it's just like him to have experience it firsthand to understand it he could only go aggressive with his inside pitches but by combining it with the outside pitches he get's more options and more room to work with now that he's gained confidence in his outside pitches he really wants.... ' miyuki thought while for sawamura's pitch

when sawamura suddenly throws inside pitch that shock kuramochi miyuki and maezono

"ha ha ha ha ha you fell right for it, kuramochi-senpai that is a trap! now that you've seen how close the pitch is the outside pitches will feel like they're miles away!" sawamura yelled that make them looked at sawamura surprise since they thought sawamura unconsiously throws inside pitch

"that's just preparation to finish you off with an outside pitch at the end! da ha ha ha ha ha" sawamura added

"what a minute"

"Did you just pitch...."

"ehhh?" sawamura looks confused when he saw them in shocked

"Did you just pitch...to the inside?" miyuki asked while holding the ball inside his mitt sawamura look stunned for a moment

"ehhh?"
Sawamura blushed when miyuki said just sink in his mind

As soon as the game started as being kuramochi the first batter as soon as he get's on base he quickly steal for the 2nd base that shock their opponent
