Returning from his injury, Furuya joins a game with the second string. Seeing Sawamura shine in the first string's game, Furuya mulls over the words Kataoka wrote in his journal. Meanwhile, in Yamanashi prefecture, Seido's rivals Yakushi, Ichidai Third High and Inashiro Industrial compete in intense games for the spring Kanto Tournament.

The first time I pitched as a 
first-year was in the summer.

mein erstes offizielles Spiel.
Mi primera vez en un partido oficial
fue en verano.

Я вот в десятом классе
 подавал только с лета.
