Sawamura loses confidence against Azuma, an opponent he's never faced, but Miyuki's lead slowly pulls out Sawamura's full potential. And then he throws his last pitch. After returning from Tokyo, Sawamaura is lost about his future, unable to forget his pitching with Miyuki. He wants to test his strength in Tokyo, but he can't betray his junior high teammates and leave them behind. Bewildered, his teammates approach him.
When I made a really bad error, 
you cheered me on from the mound.
Wenn ich einen schweren Fehler gemacht habe,
hast du mich vom Mound aus angefeuert.
Cuando cometía un grave error, 
me animabas desde el montículo.
Cuando cometía un grave error,

Quand on faisait des erreurs,
Quando eu cometi um erro enorme, 
você ficou torcendo por mim do monte.
