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. However, Eihou and Oobi's game takes an unexpected turn and after Daigo is rushed to the stands, a face he sees amidst Oobi Middle's line up rattles him...

.لكننا قد نصبح غريمين

Anche se forse saremmo rivali.
Mas podemos acabar virando rivais.
Может, однажды мы станем соперниками.
