After losing Ono to an injury, the Furuya-Yui battery has trouble establishing a rhythm, repeated making errors and walking batters. Still unable to recover, they give up runs and with the team in trouble, Furuya has to leave the mound. Kaneda the relief pitcher pitches well, but he is unable to stop Yamamori Academy’s momentum, and Seido’s winning streak ends at nineteen games. In game 2 against Seiho High School, the beast of Aichi, Sawamura is the starting pitcher. After receiving encouragement from Coach Kataoka, Sawamura boldly takes the mound.
I envy you first-years having your 
first taste of this tension so early.
أحسدكم يا لاعبي السّنة الأولى
.لتذوّقكم لهذا التّوتّر للمرّة الأولى
Ich bin neidisch, dass du zum ersten Mal
diese Anspannung spüren kannst.
Los envidio por poder saborear
esta tensión ya en primero.

Je vous envie,
Invidio molto a voi matricole il fatto 
di poter assaporare questa tensione per la prima volta.
Eu tenho inveja dos calouros, sentindo
essa tensão pela primeira vez.
Аж завидую, что вы испытаете 
такое уже в десятом классе.
