The Mifune Dolphins best their tough opponent of the 2nd match in the summer tournament, the Beatles, thanks to Hikaru's outstanding homerun with fully-loaded bases.
However, with barely time to rest in the lunch break, match 3 against the Sharks is upon them.
Since Urabe was on the mound in the 2nd match, he's barred by regulations to continue, so Hikaru is the pitcher.
Also Mutsuko, despite her extraordinary batting sense, is also on the bench to let the old regular Nagai get some playtime.
I feel like I've been chasing 
that ball since the moment
أشعر أني كنت ألاحق الكرة منذ اللحظة
Seit ich mit dir und Honda
bei den Dolphins angefangen habe,
Siento que persigo la bola
Siento que persigo la bola desde que
empecé en los Dolphins con vosotros.
Depuis que j’ai joué chez les Dolphins
avec Honda et toi,
È da quando ho iniziato a giocare
 coi Dolphins insieme a te e a Goro
Sinto como se estivesse atrás da bola
У меня такое чувство,
что я бегу за мячом с тех самых пор,
