Seido, Inashiro Vocational, and Shuhoku are having a three-way round-robin. Game two of the round-robin is Inashiro vs Shuhoku, and the ace of Inashiro, Mei Narumiya, is pitching this game. He's the one who shut out Seido's batters at the last summer tournament semi-final. To make matters worse, Narumiya shows off a new weapon he didn't have last year. The pitch lights a fire under Seido's ace, Tanba. He too has a new weapon he's been working on.
But he self-destructs in the second half...
Aber er bricht in der zweiten Hälfte zusammen,
Pero se autodestruye en la segunda mitad...
Pero suele autodestruirse 
en la segunda mitad...
Mais ce lanceur va exploser
dans la deuxième moitié du match.
Mas ele se autodestrói na segunda metade...
