Coach Todoroki quickly puts Sanada on the mound in the bottom of the third inning after seeing Amahisa's ability as a pitcher. At the top of the sixth, Raichi gets up to bat carrying the hope of his team. Sawamura watches the matchup thinking about how he would pitch against Raichi.
I thought he was just a loud, old man,
Zuerst dachte ich,
er sei nur ein alter, lauter Mann,
Pensé que solo era un viejo ruidoso,
Pensé que solo era un viejo pesado,
Au début, je pensais
qu’il se foutait de nous.
Ho sempre pensato che fosse solo 
un vecchio fanfarone,
Achei que ele fosse só
 um velho baderneiro,
