The practice game between Seido and Osaka Kiryu begins with Furuya determined not to give up any hits after remembering the coaches words, “go get obliterated today.” The first batter nails his fastball deep to the outfield. A bases loaded walk gives Kiryu a 3-0 lead and prompts a visit to the mound by Miyuki. The visit reminds Furuya to trust in the fielders around him. Furuya begins to intentionally give up hits so his outfielders can cover for his current weakness.
