(Nishiura-2[Oki & Tajima] vs. Mihoshi-0: top of the 3rd – top of the 4th inning) With nice team work, Nishiura is able to score two consecutive runs easily. Meanwhile, tension is rising between Kanou and the rest of his team. They end up having an argument, but eventually cooled down and resolved to win the game against Nishiura to prove once and for all that Kanou is the better pitcher. Witnessing from the sidelines, Mihashi seems to be longing to join back with his old team, but Abe decides to do his best to get Mihashi to acknowledge him and Nishiura as the team in which Mihashi belongs to.
양 팀이 득점 없이 맞이한 3회, 미호시 학원의 투수 카노는 미하시를 의식한 나머지 조금씩 페이스를 무너트리기 시작하고 니시우라 고교는 이 기회를 살려 4회초 2점을 앞서 나가며 기세를 탄다. 한편 미하시에게 옛 팀 동료에 대한 미련이 남아있는 것을 눈치챈 아베는 사실은 미호시 학원에 돌아가고 싶은거 아니야?라는 의심을 한다.
