With two outs and a runner on second, Daigo deliberately takes a pitch to his elbow pad, earning a walk. The Red team’s pitcher grows frustrated. The next batter (light-hitting but fast) lays down a perfect bunt, and a throwing error allows Daigo to advance to third. Daigo scores the tying run on a wild pitch.
Coach Fujii decides to bet on Daigo’s game sense over raw power. Daigo steps to the plate against a hard-throwing pitcher from the Red team, who has struck out five batters in a row. Daigo barely manages to foul off several pitches, showing improved bat control. Major 2nd -TV- Episode 23
