Sawamura gets himself into a baseball match against the 12th grade batter, Kiyokuni Azuma. Sawamura forms a battery with Kazuya Miyuki, the catcher carrying high hopes for Seidou. Sawamura loses confidence against Azuma, an opponent he's never faced, but Miyuki's lead slowly pulls out Sawamura's full potential. And then he throws his last pitch. After returning from Tokyo, Sawamaura is lost about his future, unable to forget his pitching with Miyuki. He wants to test his strength in Tokyo, but he can't betray his junior high teammates and leave them behind. Bewildered, his teammates approach him.
It made me want to test my strength 
for the first time in my life.
Zum ersten Mal in meinem Leben
will ich meine Kraft auf die Probe stellen!
Hizo que quisiera probar mi fuerza 
por primera vez en mi vida.
¡Eso hizo que quisiera probar mi fuerza 
por primera vez en mi vida!
C’est la première fois de ma vie
Foi a primeira vez na vida que
eu quis testar a minha força.
