Even though Fuurin Middle has a huge lead against Tsujidou Middle, once their real A-team comes into play, the lead all but evaporates. On top of that, when Sakaguchi Hikaru (Satou Hikaru), Daigo's and Mutsuko's teammate from their grade school days, comes onto the field as Tsujidou's catcher, Daigo is visibly shaken. Hikaru tells him that he's looking to become a Major League catcher, just like his father Tsohiya. How good has Hikaru become?
How're we meant to keep our morale up if our
captain's like that? What happened to him?
كيف لنا أن نبقي معنوياتنا مرتفعة
إن كان قائدنا هكذا؟ ماذا حدث له؟
Come facciamo a tenere alto il morale,
se il nostro capitano è così?
Como vamos manter a motivação
com o capitão daquele jeito?
С таким капитаном о боевом духе
можно забыть.
