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...
it still won't be easy to 
get a hit off his pitches.
.لن يكون ضربه رمياته أمرًا سهلاً
trifft man nicht so leicht,
auch wenn man den Kurs kennt.
con la fuerza de Hikaru
no podrán batear.

lire ses balles
ne suffira pas pour frapper.
non gli sarà tanto facile colpire.
eles não vão conseguir acertar facilmente.
но подачи Хикару
всё равно так просто не отбить.
