Episode Title:
Expectations of an Ace.
Episode Description:
Tanba takes to the mound. After two fastballs Tanba has an 0–2 count lead. Miyuki calls for a curveball, but the curve proves to be low and inside, coming close to a passed ball. Miyuki makes a dramatic save, keeping the one-run lead for Seidou. Seeing that Tanba had the pitch, even though he didn't have the control, Miyuki calls for another curve and gets Sanada to strike out. In the top half of the ninth Seidou manages to score two runs, going up 8-5. After Furuya grounds into a double play, Kataoka decides to gamble. Furuya is pulled from the game. Tanba is left to face the bottom of the order with a 3-run lead. If even one runner gets on board though, Tanba will have to face off with Raichi. Will Tanba manage to hold on?
