The next morning, the coach and the players discuss the previous night's game. The coach is disappointed that Furuya didn't pitch well, but he's still excited about the prospect of seeing Sawamura pitch well again. He's also excited that the other players will be able to take advantage of Furuya's bad pitch count. He tells them to take care of the first batter, because they're going to get a lot of hits. He also warns them to be careful with the second batter because it's going to be easy for the other team's hitters to hit.
