Coach Todoroki quickly puts Sanada on the mound in the bottom of the third inning after seeing Amahisa's ability as a pitcher. At the top of the sixth, Raichi gets up to bat carrying the hope of his team. Sawamura watches the matchup thinking about how he would pitch against Raichi.
If Ichidai avoids taking on Todoroki,
Wenn Ichidai sich nicht
mit Todoroki anlegt,
Si Ichidai evita enfrentar a Todoroki,
Si Ichidai evita enfrentarse a Todoroki,
S’ils évitent d’affronter Todoroki,
Ichidaisan gagnera.
Se la Ichidai non affronterà Todoroki,
Se Ichidai evitar a disputa
 contra o Todoroki,
