The game continued, with the Cleaving Chefs taking an early lead in the opening innings. But soon after, the Brainiac Engineers proved that their strategy of slow but steady was paying off as they evened out the score.
Finally, it was the bottom of the ninth inning—the last chance for either team to claim victory.
The Chefs were pitching, while the Engineers were at bat.
Kong was up to the plate, gripping his bat as he eyed the pitcher on the mound.
This was a crucial moment, yet there was no sign of nervousness on his face. He was excited!
Finally, the pitcher hurled the ball high up in the strike zone, making it seem as if it was an easy ball. But Kong wasn't going to be deceived. He tightened his shoulders, swinging the bat a little bit below where the ball appeared to be going.
