Sawamura asks his father if he's going to steal, and his father tells him that he isn't going to. He says that his pitching has always been good, but that tomorrow's game is going to be a different story. He tells his son that they'll never be able to catch Todoroki, because he doesn't have a good command of the strike zone. He asks his son if he will fight, or will he run, and he says that he already knows his answer, and that he'll run. He then tells his father that he just saw a beautiful hit, and wonders if it's because of the pitch, or because he looks like it. His father says that the pitch was a useless one, because it was so high and so far away from him. He also says that now that there are no runners, he can't think about hitting the next batter. He wants to hit the next guy hard, but his father points out that it'll be hard for him to do so, since the next hitter is a right-handed pitcher.
