Thanks to Kandori's incredible grand slam, Fuurin Middle win the semifinals and hastily begin to make preparations for the finals in the afternoon. Daigo helps Nishina with pitching practice as he's the starting pitcher for the finals, while Mutsuko and the others observe the Eihou Academy vs Oobi Middle School game.

Woulda been much nicer
if it'd stopped a bit sooner.
.كان من الأفضل بكثير أن يتوقف قبل الآن

Podría haber parado antes.
J’aurais préféré

Sarebbe stata una fortuna

Pena que não parou antes.
Мог бы, конечно, и пораньше это сделать.
