The narrator comments on the batter's reaction to the first pitch of the game, which is a "curve" . The narrator is worried that the batter is nervous because it is the finals. He suggests that the pitcher throw a "fastball to the outside" to bait the batter. The batter hits a home run, and the gap between the two teams is now two points. Miyuki calls for a time out to talk to the pitcher, but the narrator insists that he should just pitch like he always does.
