During the quarter finals of the summer tournament, where the Dolphins face off against the powerhouse, Touto boys, Nagai's run on an uncaught third strike brings the team back from the brink of death.
Then, in the bottom of the 7th inning, Urabe is under pressure by Touto, with 2 outs and loaded bases, so Hikaru gets up on the mound again.
Back in form, Hikaru throws incredibly fast balls, but while trying to catch an easy fly ball, he collides with Daigo and the game is irrevocably lost.
The week after the match, worried about Hikaru's condition, Daigo heads to Gunma...
That game... What happened to 
Hikaru-kun wasn't your fault,
،في تلك المباراة... ما حدث لهيكارو ليس خطأك
Was beim Spiel damals mit Hikaru
passiert ist, war nicht deine Schuld!
Ese partido… Lo que pasó
con Hikaru-kun no fue tu culpa,
Ese partido… Lo que pasó
con Hikaru-kun no fue tu culpa,
Ce qui est arrivé à Hikaru
pendant le match n’est pas ta faute.
Quel che è successo ad Hikaru 
in quella partita non è stata colpa tua.
Aquele jogo... O que aconteceu
com o Hikaru-kun não foi sua culpa.
Ты не виноват... в том,
что случилось тогда с Хикару,
