Fuurin Middle got their wish of having a practice match against the elite team of Tsujidou Academy, but had to put their manager Chiyo into their lineup for the hospitalized Chiba.
Seeing that they have seven girls, they are assigned a 10 run handicap, which irritates even Daigo. In order to get Tsujidou back for that, Yayoi and Tao make good defensive plays and at bat, Daigo and Anita whittle down the opposing pitcher, Oka.
I knew it. I should've refused to play.
.عرفت هذا. كان عليّ أن أرفض اللعب
Ich hätte nicht antreten sollen.
Debí decirles que no vendría a jugar.

J’aurais jamais dû
accepter de jouer !
Lo sapevo, avrei dovuto rifiutare 
di partecipare a questa partita.
Sabia que eu devia ter recusado a jogar.
Я ведь знала, что должна
была отказаться играть.
