After their own semifinal game the nine Seido players watch Inashiro's semifinal against Teito. Narumiya and Mukai both played at Koshien Stadium as first-years, and then received their powerhouse school's ace number as second-years, and they'll both be pitching. Meanwhile, Seido High School is analyzing their game against Ichidai Third High, focusing on Coach Kataoka. Then, Miyuki remembers a certain thought...
As a backup catcher who had never played at 
Koshien Stadium, I was pretty envious of you.
بصفتي ماسِك بديل لم يلعب في ملعبِ
كوشين قطّ، كنت أحسدك كثيراً
Ich war in der Oberschule
nur Ersatz-Catcher.
Como relevista que nunca jugó
Como relevista que nunca jugó
Moi qui étais
receveur suppléant au lycée
Io ero solo un ricevitore di rilievo e la invidiavo molto,
visto che non ho mai giocato al Koshien.
Como receptor substituto que
nunca tinha jogado no Koshien,
Я тебе завидовал, ведь, будучи
 реливером, на Косиэне так и не поиграл.
