A middle-aged man watches the intrasquad game. He is none other than Eijiro Sakaki, the man who made Seido's baseball team famous. He was also Kataoka's high school coach. "You used to be such a demon child." Sakaki reminisces on the past.
We only made to the semifinals that fall,
Wir kamen in diesem Herbst
nur ins Halbfinale,
Solo llegamos a las semifinales ese otoño,
Aquel otoño solo llegamos a las semifinales,

à l’automne,
Quell'autunno siamo arrivati solo in semifinale,
Naquele outono, 
só chegamos à semifinal,
