The next morning, Tommo and the others discuss the results of the previous day's match. Tommo says that the other players are giving their all, and that he's sure he'll beat them. He's glad that Seido wasn't around, because it was hard for him to keep up with the intensity of the competition. He doesn't know if that means that they're going to beat him, or if they'll be able to keep him down. He wants to know what's going on with the other guys, and he wants to hear what they have to say. They're not going to be easy on them, he says, and they've got one hour before practice starts. They need to get a runner on the base, so they can practice running without a lead.
