The Dolphins start with Hikaru on the mound. Despite losing a point and running into the unexpected trouble of breaking his glasses, he recovers.
In the top of the 3rd inning, Daigo's sacrifice squeeze play nets them a point, showing teeth to the Touto Boys, a team capable of going national.
However, in the bottom of the 3rd inning, just when they had tied, Mayumura Michiru hits Hikaru's fast ball and gets out on base.
Hikaru tries his best to control his aim better, but Touto's offensive lineup is not one to be overcome with little tricks...
Listen up! I only want to play when I can 
bask in the glory of causing an upset!
اسمع! أريد اللعب فقط عندما
!يمكنني خطف الأضواء وقلب النتيجة
Ich will erst rein, wenn ich mit
einem Schlag das Spiel drehen kann.
¡Solo quiero jugar
cuando pueda hacer que remontemos!
¡Solo quiero jugar
si es para que remontemos!
J’entrerai pas sur le terrain
sans belle chance de renverser le jeu !
Guarda che voglio entrare solo se c'è puzza di impresa!
Sabe, eu só gosto de jogar quando posso
ter o gostinho de causar uma virada!
Слушай! Я играю лишь затем, чтобы
погреться в лучах славы после победы!
