During the quarter finals of the summer tournament, where the Dolphins face off against the powerhouse, Touto boys, Nagai's run on an uncaught third strike brings the team back from the brink of death.
Then, in the bottom of the 7th inning, Urabe is under pressure by Touto, with 2 outs and loaded bases, so Hikaru gets up on the mound again.
Back in form, Hikaru throws incredibly fast balls, but while trying to catch an easy fly ball, he collides with Daigo and the game is irrevocably lost.
The week after the match, worried about Hikaru's condition, Daigo heads to Gunma...
Apparently, he even said
he's never playing baseball again.
.يبدو أنّه قال أنّه لن يلعب كرة القاعدة مجدّدًا
Er soll auch gesagt haben,
dass er nie wieder Baseball spielen will.
Parece que dice
que ya no volverá a jugar.
Parece que dice
que ya no volverá a jugar.
Il a même dit
qu’il ne jouera plus jamais.
A quanto so, ha detto che 
non giocherà mai più a baseball.
Aparentemente ele está até dizendo
que nunca mais jogará basebol.
Даже сказал, что бросит бейсбол.
