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.
We'll pay 'em back the humiliation 
we received － tenfold!
Wir werden denen diese Schmach zehnfach zurückzahlen.
Les pagaremos por diez la 
humillación que recibimos.
Les pagaremos por diez la 
humillación que recibimos.
On doit leur rendre
la monnaie de leur pièce.
Vamos retribuir a humilhação
com dez vezes mais força!
