1. how to pitch from the outfield by Maven_Fair
Summary: Excerpt from the April 2011 edition of Monthly Baseball Kingdom, written by Owada Akiko, edited by Mine Fujio.
… A heavy struggle for the win during the second to fourth innings, with both aces giving up hits but no runs. Soon enough, one side would have to bend. Unfortunately, it seems Seidou was the first… Furuya Satoru gave up five runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Bases were loaded. One out. Seidou’s relief pitcher, Sawamura Eijun (#18), stepped up and managed to keep them from scoring, even against Ichidai’s cleanup and fifth batter…
An apology. A request. A denial.
… Despite Sawamura-kun’s impressive pitching, Furuya-kun was subbed back in during the bottom of the 6th inning, and managed to keep Ichidai runless for the rest of the game… We at Monthly Baseball Kingdom are hopeful for how Seidou, and Furuya-kun, will look during next year’s…

5. A Second Chance at Summer by Bluecaty15
Summary: What...what’s happening. Why am I shaking?’ closing his eyes his head started to hurt as flashes of images and scenes from like a movie started to flit through his mind. Things that made no sense as he doesn’t remember any of this happening to him and yet all of the things he was seeing were definitely of him and the others.
‘Dead ball!’ an image of a ball smacking the head of an Inashiro player in the batter box in a game.
‘Yips’ the word causing his heart to race despite never having heard it before, he watched himself running in the rain with a haggard and haunted look on his face.
‘...he can’t pitch to the inside with a batter in the box’ a haggard look on his face as he stared down at his clenched fist with Miyuki staring at him worried behind the plate in the indoor bullpen with the boss standing in as batter.
‘There is a pitch I’ve wanted to teach you for some time now, this is the perfect time for you to learn it’ Chris said as he walked towards him with his glove in hand as he watched me struggle to pitch into a net.
‘Memories? Memories of what though?’
Eijun suddenly regains the memories of his futureself and is determined to fix past mistakes, at all costs.
