Seidou High School faces off against Ichidai Third High School, the school that beat them last year. While their top-level offense rakes in runs, the ace Tanba isn't doing too hot. The game turns into a batting game. On the other hand, Sawamura is back at school, training by himself. During his training, Furuya, another first-year pitcher approaches him. Showing sympathy to Sawamura's peculiar training method, Furuya offers to play catch with him. Sawamura is in a cheery mood with Furuya's kindness, but the speed of Furuya's throws far exceeds his expectations.
It's scary when you throw 
because the ball goes everywhere.
Dein Ball fliegt immer irgendwohin,
 da kriegt man Angst.
Da miedo no saber adónde van a ir tus bolas.
Da miedo no saber a dónde 
van a ir tus bolas.
Tes lancers sont imprévisibles,
ça me fait peur.
Dá medo quando você joga, porque
a bola vai para qualquer lugar.
