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...
No matter how fast the pitch is, 
if we know where the ball's going,
،مهما كانت سرعة الرمية، إن عرفنا إلى أين ستتجه
Egal wie schnell er wirft,
No importa lo rápido que sea,
si sé qué tipo será,
No importa lo rápido que sea,
si sé cómo va a lanzar,
Ses lancers sont rapides,
Può essere veloce quanto vuole, 
ma se sappiamo dove andrà la palla,
Seus arremessos são rápidos,
mas se soubermos aonde a bola irá,
Мы знаем, куда полетит мяч,
