"Out! 3 outs, changeover."
"YOSHAAA!" Ken pumped his fist, letting out a shout filled with adrenaline.
The crowd burst into cheers, celebrating the defensive effort. By now, the game was already over since it was 10-0, but no one was focused on that right now.
As Ken walked into the dugout, he received some serious expressions from his teammates. He could tell that they wanted to give him encouragement, but they were afraid to say anything that might jinx him.
At this, Ken let out a chuckle.
He took a seat on the bench, wanting to take every moment he could to rest. After pitching 8 straight innings, he was starting to feel quite fatigued.
The biggest strain on his body was actually his Showdown skill. After using it 3 times this match, it was to be expected.
'Good thing Grandpa took me out of the batting lineup.' Ken mused inwardly.
