A game between the first-years and the second and third-years is being held. While Sawamura worries about whether or not he can play, he chances upon the Head Coach in the bath. "I don't want to see anyone but me standing on the mound." The Head Coach gives Sawamura one more chance in response to his statement. On the day of the game, the second and third-years are playing with everything they have. The first-year team looks pale, but Sawamura is pumped for his first game. Sawamura seems to be full of energy, but perhaps it isn't being put to good use...
When I was in high school, 
I ran with truck tires.
Als ich in der Oberschule war, bin
 ich mit Lasterreifen gelaufen.
Cuando estaba en la preparatoria, 
corría con neumáticos de camión.
Cuando yo iba a bachillerato, 
corría con neumáticos de camión.
Quand j’étais joueur, 
je tirais des pneus de camion.
Quando tinha sua idade, corria
com pneus de caminhão.
