"Hit! It's a grounder! Can he make it to first base?"
The ball was caught by the second baseman, who threw it with all his might toward Kunii Shuichi at first base.
Kunii Shuichi had to catch the ball before the third batter could touch the first base bag.
As the ball landed in Kunii Shuichi's glove in an instant, the third batter dove towards first base, his hand reaching out.
"Did he make it?" a man asked expectantly.
"It looks like the ball got there first... safe! He's made it to first base!"
"Ah, the umpire says that Kunii, the first baseman, stepped off the bag to catch the ball! Just missed it! What a pity!"
"As expected of the third hitter! His ability to get on base is strong! There's still a chance for Sansong, keep it up!"
"Now it's up to Sansong's fourth batter. If he's out directly, that would mean three batters out and a switch in defense and offense, wasting the third batter's efforts!"
