Seido has defeated Yura Sogo in a called game.  Reflecting on their inability to establish a rhythm in the early innings, Seido begins to analyze and strategize against their next opponent, Hachiya Oji.  Of particular interest is their captain, second baseman Kawabata.  Kuramochi and Haruichi are fired up to face their rival fielder.  Meanwhile, Kataoka calls Sawamura to his office after the coches’ meeting, and tells him to make the most of his experience from the first game.
He was a lot like you the first 
time you started as the ace.

dein erstes Spiel als Ass.
Me recordó a ti
en tu primer partido como estrella.
