Returning from his injury, Furuya joins a game with the second string. Seeing Sawamura shine in the first string's game, Furuya mulls over the words Kataoka wrote in his journal. Meanwhile, in Yamanashi prefecture, Seido's rivals Yakushi, Ichidai Third High and Inashiro Industrial compete in intense games for the spring Kanto Tournament. Sawamura and his teammates watch intensely as their rivals become stronger.
What really gave the batters trouble was
his height coupled with a lethal 12-6 curve.
ما سبّب المتاعب للضاربين حقاً كان رمية مقوّسة
متساقطة رماها عالياً
Was die Batter am meisten verunsicherte,
war der fallende Curveball.
Pero lo que más confundió
a los bateadores fue una curva que cae.
Pero lo que más confundió
a los bateadores fue una curva que cae.

pour les batteurs a été
A mettere davvero in difficoltà i battitori
è stata una palla curva a traiettoria discendente.
O que deu trabalho pros rebatedores
Бэттеры совсем не ожидали
 его высокий дроп кёрв.
