RUNNING THE BASES

Author's Notes: This is based on Ookiku Furikabutte, written as if it were a high school romance rather than a sports competition series. There are few females in the series and they have minor roles, so the main female lead here is an original character, Sakai Risa (Risa means reason, assistant), from the school newspaper. The canon characters will normally be called by their surname.
