Seidou High School faces off against Ichidai Third High School, the school that beat them last year. While their top-level offense rakes in runs, the ace Tanba isn't doing too hot. The game turns into a batting game. On the other hand, Sawamura is back at school, training by himself. During his training, Furuya, another first-year pitcher approaches him. Showing sympathy to Sawamura's peculiar training method, Furuya offers to play catch with him. Sawamura is in a cheery mood with Furuya's kindness, but the speed of Furuya's throws far exceeds his expectations.
I was starting to get 
tired of just running.
Nur zu Laufen wurde mir langsam zu langweilig.
Me estaba cansando de solo correr.
Me estaba cansado de correr sin más.
Courir normalement
commençait à m’ennuyer.
Estava me cansando de só correr.
