Aired on November 17, 2013
The baseball season concludes with Furuya and Masuko advancing to the varsity team, while Eijun and Haruichi move to the junior varsity squad. This promotion triggers specialized pitching training for Furuya and Eijun, dictated by Coach Kataoka’s partner assignments. Furuya is paired with Miyuki, whereas Sawamura is assigned to Chris. Instead of catching pitches, Chris subjects Eijun to extensive non-pitching drills, leading Eijun to believe the coach is mocking him and doubting his future at Seidou. The narrative spans chapters 17 through 19.
