It's Seido's practive game against Seiho, the beast from Aichi. Sawamura has a great first inning, striking out two batters. They're facing Seiho's ace Akashi, once hailed as the super rookie when he played at Koshien Stadium as a first-year. After an injury caused his form to deteriorate, he spent a year in obscurity. Now, he has returned armed with a muscular body and powerful pitches. The Sawamura-Okumura battery must cooperate to take on Seiho's machine-gun-like batting lineup.
But it was a solid hit.

Aber er hat ihn gut erwischt.
Pero aun así la golpeó.
Pero aun así logró darle.
Il l’a quand même frappé.
Però l'ha comunque colpito in pieno.
Mas foi um acerto em cheio.
Но её всё равно отбили.
