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.
What good am I as his catcher
if I don't believe in Hikaru's pitches?
ما نفعي بصفتي ماسكه إن لم أثق بلعبه بطريقة عادية؟
Wenigstens auf seine Bälle
muss ich doch zählen.
¿De que sirvo
si no confío en sus lanzamientos?
¿De que sirvo
si no confío en sus lanzamientos?
Che ricevitore sarei 
se non mi fidassi del suo braccio?
Do que adianta se eu não
confiar nos arremessos dele?
Что я за кэтчер, если не даю
ему играть как обычно?
