In the middle of the second inning, the team decides to switch out Hiroshige for Sawamura, who has been struggling since his return from his shoulder injury. The other pitcher, Kawasaki, is warming up in right field. He's a good pitcher, too, and he'll be starting soon. The team's third pitcher, Hiroki, is also very good, and his name is also Hiroki. When he's not out there running around, he just keeps running at the top of his lungs. The chapter ends with a flashback to the famous seido team, which won the World Series in their eighth year of existence after a four-year gap.
