After being added to the bench, first-year Masashi Yuki hits a home run in his first game. Okumura, Yui and Asada, each with their own emotions, are practicing and getting more familiar with the team. The team is preparing for their next game against Ichidai Third High. During practice, Miyuki prioritizes catching for Furuya, which frustrates Sawamura. Having been reproached by Miyuki for clasing with Sawamura, Okumura volunteers to catch for him.
You push yourself to walk a thorny path, huh?
تدفع بنفسك للأمام لتسلك طريقاً شائكاً؟
Treibt man sich nach vorne,
wartet nur ein dorniger Pfad.
Esforzarse así
puede ser un camino espinoso.
Esforzarse así
puede ser un camino espinoso.
Tu n’as pas choisi
la voie de la facilité…
Spingersi costantemente avanti
non è una cosa semplice.
Se forçar a ir adiante pode
ser um caminho tortuoso.
Путь к вершине
 может быть весьма тернист.
