Even though Fuurin Middle has a huge lead against Tsujidou Middle, once their real A-team comes into play, the lead all but evaporates. On top of that, when Sakaguchi Hikaru (Satou Hikaru), Daigo's and Mutsuko's teammate from their grade school days, comes onto the field as Tsujidou's catcher, Daigo is visibly shaken. Hikaru tells him that he's looking to become a Major League catcher, just like his father Tsohiya. How good has Hikaru become?
