Sawamura makes his first start versus Nanamori, beginning with a practice session against Kuramochi where he throws inside, surprising the team. Concurrently, Mei trains a left field backup. The narrative alternates between Inashiro and Seido games, with Seido holding a 5-0 advantage when Sawamura takes the mound. He accidentally hits the first batter, leading to loaded bases. Recognizing Sawamura’s focus on outside pitches, Nanamori targets that zone. Sawamura requests an inside pitch after a call, shifting the dynamic. This episode adapts chapters 261 through 263 of the manga series.
