Seido awaits their first game of the summer tournament. Sawamura wants to get used to wearing the ace number and so begins to sleep in his uniform, earning him a teasing from his roommates. Coach Kataoka receives an stimulating call from his former mentor Coach Sasaki, the coach of Yura Sogo Engineering High School who they are about to face. Yura Sogo competes in the first round anticipating their game against the seeded Seido. What does the cunning Coach Sasaki have up his sleeve?
It was Sawamura's pitching that led 
the team while Furuya was recovering.
كان رمي ساوامورا هو الّذي قاد 
.الفريق للأمام بينما كان فورويا يتعافى
Als Furuya eine Formschwäche hatte,
Mientras Furuya pasaba
por una mala racha,
Mientras Furuya pasaba
por una mala racha,
Pendant que Furuya
subissait son coup dur,
È stato Sawamura a guidare la squadra
durante la convalescenza di Furuya.
Foi o arremesso do Sawamura que liderou
o time enquanto o Furuya se recuperava.
Именно Савамура вёл команду за собой,
 пока Фуруя восстанавливал силы.
