Ken managed to strike out the next two batters in succession, leading him to believe that the first batter had likely hit the ball out of luck instead of actively aiming for his fastball.
"How are you feeling?"
"Not now Grandpa, I need the toilet…" Ken said, running past him into the dugout.
Coach Williams blinked a few times, turning to Daichi with a questioning look. At this, Daichi just shrugged and undid his chest protector, getting ready for the next inning.
While Ken was making a pit stop, it was the Ligers turn to attack. Ryan Greene, the CF for Detroit faced only 2 balls before blasting one into the outfield for an easy double.
Adrian Baddoo followed suit, striking on the first pitch this time for a single. The momentum for the Ligers was building up, ready to explode as they reached the clean up hitters.
