The tense practice game against Seiho is tied at 0. Sawamura gets into trouble in the top of the sixth inning, but an incredible throw to home by center fielder Aso pulls the team through. In the bottom of the same inning, lead-off batter Yuki’s hit arcs high. How far will it go? Meanwhile, Sawamura is feeling the weight of his responsibility to the coach and his team and continues spiraling down. His dogged determination is obvious to not only the nine fielders, or the players on the bench, but even to the fans in the stands.
If he kept pitching like he did
in the first half, I'd have given up...
إن واصل الرّمي كما فعل في 
...النّصف الأوّل، لكنتُ استسلمت
Hätte er weiter so gepitcht,
hätten wir aufgeben müssen.
Si siguiera lanzando como al principio,
estaríamos perdidos,
Si siguiera lanzando como al principio,
estaríamos perdidos,
S’il continuait à lancer comme au début,
on ne pourrait rien faire,
Se avesse continuato a lanciare come nella prima metà 
della partita saremmo stati nei guai...
Se ele continuasse arremessando como
na primeira metade, eu teria desistido...
Если бы он подавал, как в первой
 половине, я бы давно сдался...
