It’s the top of the seventh inning in Seido’s game against Hachiya Oji.  Hachiya Oji has to score this inning or else the game will be called.  Kawabata fought his way to a base, but it would be Hachiya Oji’s last offensive.  Seido’s victory is imminent.  After hearing Furuya say he’d get to play next game, Sawamura watches the game from the bench, the number one on his back.  The story of these two players vying for the title of ace will continue.
I knew they were trying to 
make me hit a grounder.
علمتُ أنّهم كانوا يحاولون
.جعلي أضرب كرة أرضيّة
Ich wusste ja, dass er
einen Grounder provozieren wollte.
Sabía que querían forzar una roleta.
Sabía que querían forzar que rodara.
Je savais qu’ils attendaient
une balle roulée.
Sapevo che volevano farmela battere verso il terreno.
Eu sabia que eles queriam
que eu mandasse uma rasteira.
Я понимал, что против
меня будет граундер.
