The game between Seiko and Seido begins. Seiko's catcher, Masu, is up at bat. Miyuki is wary of him, as he's both the lead-off man and the central figure of the team. In order to take the upper hand, Seido wants to get him out. Can Furuya start the game off strong?
so if he takes the fall tournament, 
I'm not needed for the team.
wenn er also das Herbstturnier gewinnt,
braucht das Team mich nicht.
así que si gana el torneo de otoño, 
no le haré falta al equipo.
alors s’ils gagnent
le tournoi d’automne comme ça,
perciò se andrà bene nel torneo autunnale, 
non ci sarà bisogno di me in squadra.
então se ele conquistar o torneio de 
outono, eu não serei necessário ao time.
