After their own semifinal game the nine Seido players watch Inashiro's semifinal against Teito. Narumiya and Mukai both played at Koshien Stadium as first-years, and then received their powerhouse school's ace number as second-years, and they'll both be pitching. Meanwhile, Seido High School is analyzing their game against Ichidai Third High, focusing on Coach Kataoka. Then, Miyuki remembers a certain thought...
It's hard to get successive 
hits off a good pitcher.
من الصّعب تحقيق ضربات متتالية 
أمام رامٍ جيّد
Auf einander folgende Hits gegen
gute Pitcher sind schwierig.
Es difícil batear seguido
con un buen pitcher.
Es difícil batear tanto
con un buen pitcher.
Dur d’enchaîner
face à un bon lanceur.
È raro fare battute valide consecutive 
contro un buon lanciatore.
É difícil conseguir acertos seguidos
em cima de um bom arremessador.
Тяжело получить хит
 от хорошего питчера.
