The Mifune Dolphins best their tough opponent of the 2nd match in the summer tournament, the Beatles, thanks to Hikaru's outstanding homerun with fully-loaded bases.
However, with barely time to rest in the lunch break, match 3 against the Sharks is upon them.
Since Urabe was on the mound in the 2nd match, he's barred by regulations to continue, so Hikaru is the pitcher.
Also Mutsuko, despite her extraordinary batting sense, is also on the bench to let the old regular Nagai get some playtime.
