Sawamura regains the use of his inside pitch to stun Nanamori. Nanamori is forced to leave the bases loaded in the first inning. Afterwards Seido's batters continue to dominate the plate, and Sawamura refuses to let anyone on base. Seido ends with a called 11-0 game in 5 innings. After the game Miyuki comes up to Sawamura and announces he can finally contend for the ace spot. Over at another stadium Hisashi Watanabe watches the Inashiro game against Ugumori and is stunned to see Inashiro has only scored 1 run. Umemiya's aggressive yet reckless plays seems to spark Ugumori as the game goes on, despite him being picked off at the plate on what would be the tying run. As Inashiro reaches the seventh with a batter of second Umemiya, who has pitched nothing but a slow curve, is forced to unveil his power curve, which the opposition thinks is a slider. The pitch stuns Inashiro and forces a quick 3-outs. The two teams head into the eighth with the score 1-0 and the winner getting Seido in the next round.
Eijun se retrouve vite dos au mur dans le match qui l'oppose à Nanamori. En effet, leur batteur, Goda, a remarqué qu'Eijun ne lançait plus vers l'intérieur. Comment Eijun pourra-t-il se sortir de ce mauvais pas ?
