Seido awaits their first game of the summer tournament. Sawamura wants to get used to wearing the ace number and so begins to sleep in his uniform, earning him a teasing from his roommates. Coach Kataoka receives an stimulating call from his former mentor Coach Sasaki, the coach of Yura Sogo Engineering High School who they are about to face. Yura Sogo competes in the first round anticipating their game against the seeded Seido. What does the cunning Coach Sasaki have up his sleeve?
Righty or lefty, no hitter can handle it
when it sinks to their feet.
لن يستطيع الضّارب ضربها عندما تنزل
!إلى قدميه سواء كان أيمنًا أم أعسرًا
Gegen den haben nicht nur Rechtshänder
En la faisant plonger
au pied des batteurs,
Un lancio che si abbassa così tanto
Os rebatedores não serão capazes de acertar,
se a bola cair nos pés, destros ou canhotos!
Никакой бэттер не отобьёт мяч,
 который ныряет прямо под ноги.
