It's Seido's practive game against Seiho, the beast from Aichi. Sawamura has a great first inning, striking out two batters. They're facing Seiho's ace Akashi, once hailed as the super rookie when he played at Koshien Stadium as a first-year. After an injury caused his form to deteriorate, he spent a year in obscurity. Now, he has returned armed with a muscular body and powerful pitches. The Sawamura-Okumura battery must cooperate to take on Seiho's machine-gun-like batting lineup.
If I were afraid of them hitting, 
I wouldn't be able to stand here.
،إن كنتُ أخشى أن يقوموا بضربها
.فما كنتُ لأستطيع الوقوف هنا
Wer davor Angst hat,
kann nicht auf diesem Mound stehen.
Je pourrais pas me tenir ici,
si ça me faisait peur.
Non salirei nemmeno in pedana 
se avessi paura di vederli colpire i miei lanci.
Se eu tivesse medo que acertassem,
eu não estaria aqui.
Если бы меня страшили их хиты,
 я бы не стоял на поле.
