Later that night, Ken arrived back home with the other two. After practicing alone for a while they had attended the team practice, though things were light. Since they were in the middle of a grueling series, the coaching staff didn't want to tire them out.
However, Rohan's expression was gloomy.
"Cheer up man, Ken clearly had a breakthrough, there's no need to beat yourself up." Daichi said, patting him on the shoulder consolingly.
Rohan grumbled, "He hit me for over 20 home runs… How can I recover from that?"
"It wasn't like it was a competition, I don't know why you're so gloomy." Ken replied off-handedly. He on the other hand was in an excellent mood. Rohan was no pushover after all.
"How can you say it like that? You're a pitcher too right? Don't you also have pride?" Rohan appealed.
