Seidou High School faces off against Ichidai Third High School, the school that beat them last year. While their top-level offense rakes in runs, the ace Tanba isn't doing too hot. The game turns into a batting game. On the other hand, Sawamura is back at school, training by himself. During his training, Furuya, another first-year pitcher approaches him. Showing sympathy to Sawamura's peculiar training method, Furuya offers to play catch with him. Sawamura is in a cheery mood with Furuya's kindness, but the speed of Furuya's throws far exceeds his expectations.
But if he continues 
to play like he did today...
Aber wenn er weiter so
 spielt wie heute...
Pero si sigue jugando como hoy...
Pero si sigue jugando como hoy...
Mais vu sa forme
d’aujourd’hui…
Mas se ele continuar jogando como hoje...
