Seido has defeated Yura Sogo in a called game.  Reflecting on their inability to establish a rhythm in the early innings, Seido begins to analyze and strategize against their next opponent, Hachiya Oji.  Of particular interest is their captain, second baseman Kawabata.  Kuramochi and Haruichi are fired up to face their rival fielder.
