The girls talk about the diamond, which is a symbol of love, and how it's not as big of a deal as they thought it would be. They also talk about how they're going to have to learn how to play the diamond. They talk about their starting pitcher, furuya, who was designated the ace of spades this summer and is a second-year player. He's a good athlete, but he's also not very good at controlling the strike zone. The girls decide to go with Furuya in the first game because he'll be able to throw strikes without worrying about his stamina.
