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...
They've already got a read on his 
screwball, but he still threw it.
لقد استقرأوا كرته اللّولبيّة سلفاً، لكنّه
رماها بالرّغم من ذلك
Hier wirft er den Screwball,
den Inashiro bereits gut erkannte.
Ya prevén su screw, pero igual la lanzó.
Aunque se esperan su screw,
lo lanza de todos modos.
Il ose lancer la balle
qu’ils ont repérée…
Hanno già studiato la sua screwball, 
eppure l'ha usata comunque.
Eles já pegaram o jeito da screwball,
mas ele continua arremessando.
Его подачу раскусили,
 но он не отступил.
