Goro suffers from severe exhaustion, causing Hideki to notice his pitching form has deteriorated significantly. Hideki warns that continuing in this manner risks a serious shoulder injury that could end Goro's baseball career permanently.

The group recognizes this match might be one of their final opportunities to play together. With all primary players removed from the field, the outcome between Yokohama and Mifune becomes uncertain. The narrative focuses on the tension between preserving Goro's health and honoring the team's desire to finish their current season together on a positive note.
