Luckily, Fuurin was able to pull ahead with three runs in the first inning of their first regional preliminaries game. However, Itsuki's Yokouchi begins to mix in sliders that he had kept hidden up his sleeve until then, causing one batter after the other to strike out. Mutsuko combines accuracy and breaking balls to keep the Itsuki batters under control as well. Daigo prepares for a low score, close quarter game, and worries that the Fuurin defense might start to crack. Shortly after that, the 3rd-year Tanba on first base makes an unbelievable mistake.
I never imagined Yokouchi would 
give up three runs in the first inning.
.لم أتوقع أن يخسر يوكووتشي ثلاث نقاط في الشوط الأوّل
Hätte nicht gedacht,
dass Yokouchi direkt drei Runs zulässt.
No creí que Yokouchi concedería
tres carreras en la primera.
No esperaba que Yokouchi concediera
tres carreras en la primera.
Yokouchi qui se prend 3 points
dès la 1re manche…
Non avrei mai immaginato che Yokouchi
avrebbe concesso tre punti nel primo inning.
Nunca achei que o Yokouchi cederia
três corridas na primeira entrada.
Не думал, что Ёкоути отдаст
три пробежки в первом иннинге.
