As Yusuke surprisingly got onto 2nd base, the crowd and Yokohama dugout cheered. He hadn't been expecting to make contact so easily against the pitcher that even Hiroki struggled against.
However, he wasn't complaining. They were in a good spot with him on base and only 1 out so far in the 2nd innings. As long as Naoki could continue the attack, they might even be able to extend the lead.
Meanwhile, he saw the opposing catcher walking up to the mound in a bad mood.
'Ah… Are they gonna be okay?' Yusuke thought nervously.
"What the hell was that?"
Daichi stepped up to Yatsuo on the mound, ignoring the large frame of the teen and getting up close and personal. Despite his head only reaching just above the chin, he pressed forward, not backing down.
"I should be asking you the same question." Yatsuo replied, his face turned up in annoyance.
"What made you want to throw a slider to that guy?" Daichi said, pointing to Yusuke on 2nd base who was innocently minding his own business.
