The reporter's gonna interview Tokuchi who was gambling at the place named Pachinko. Meanwhile, other players felt cross because Tokuchi didn't show up at all during practice. She asked Tokuchi why Lycaons remained B-class team in past few years. Tokuchi said it's due to no pressure. He said that the pro baseball player's job is not just to play baseball, but to win as well.

The pennant race began. Saikawa read the news that Lycaons lost eleven times in a row since the season started. He asked his secretary about the attendance for first 10 games. The conclusion in short is profit over winning, and what Oikawa thought in short is Saikawa's mind is all about business.
Oikawa asked Saikawa why he didn't let Tokuchi play. The secretary said that they gave other teams time to completely analyze Tokuchi's pitching. That even made Oikawa think that Saikawa is crazy.
2:15
Here's the explanation that Saikawa has so many pawns including the manager and even player.
2:46
Lycaons vs Eagles, and Lycaons are already trailing by 11 points in the 1st inning. Tokuchi replaced Mizuguchi, and the first batter from Eagles is Okabe. Tokuchi and Ideguchi stared at Yoshida who 'deliberately' didn't catch the ball, even twice, until Tokuchi told him to leave. Then Yoshida stood at foul ball.
Manager Mihara didn't do anything. He even didn't replace Tokuchi with someone else, or should I say, he can't, because another pitcher, Sugawara, can't pitch that day.
7:41 Other Lycaons' players asked Tokuchi to apologize to Yoshida, but he didn't, he even 'insulted' by calling them unqualified! But that actually meant to wake them up. He even said that Lycaons only need 8 players against weak Eagles, which provoked Eagles' players.
Later, because Lycaons' players were unable to make outs, Eagles' players at dugout laughed at Tokuchi and other players, but this time, Tokuchi and other players proved them wrong, especially Imai, who did triple play. Lycaons' managed not to give up any points until 6th inning.
11:41
At the dugout, Imai and other players felt exhausted. They talked for long until Tokuchi told what a game is about. He said that playing the game without pressure won't result in a win. In short, all Tokuchi did was to give pressure. They soon heard supporters cheering and yelling Lycaons, making them in spirit. They shrinked the gap to 7 points.
The pitcher Izuta was then replaced by Mizuhashi. Ideguchi and other players felt surprised, and even worse, Yoshida said about Mizuhashi that made them under pressure. Tokuchi stopped him by asking if it's really that awful once Mizuhashi came on. Yoshida later said that it's little possible to get 7 points out of Mizuhashi, but Tokuchi said what I call as a quote: A low possibility means not zero.
14:58
Tokuchi saitirized that Mizuhashi's pitches are just slider and fastball. He asked Imai and Ideguchi if Mizuhashi has habit when pitching sliders, yet he insulted Imai as well. Ideguchi said Mizuhashi pitches both ways with no habit. An idea soon came up in Tokuchi's mind: Make one habit.
Tomioka asked for timeout, then Tokuchi then told Tomioka but Eagles' catcher heard it. He then asked for timeout and told Mizuhashi what Tokuchi just said. He thought that Tokuchi's hint is useless, but it made Tomioka able to hit Mizuhashi's slider. Lycaons' counter attack begun even made 5 hits in a row, and made them got their seventh point.
Ideguchi and player with #7 were happy and told Tokuchi is right. But then, Tokuchi said that Mizuhashi didn't have any habit on his glove, but Tokuchi made him have one. First, he told Tomioka while purposely letting Eagles' catcher hear what he said, but then he corrected himself and this time, he didn't let the catcher hear it, so Mizuhashi, instead of opening his glove while pitching sliders, he closed his glove. The game continued, Lycaons' batting lineup became unstoppable, they even added 2 more points and forced Mizuhashi out of pitcher's mound.
18:56
Yoshida got called from Saikawa. Saikawa told Yoshida to mess the current stable 8 players defense. Lycaons faced another crisis. Yoshida asked Tokuchi to let him back on defense, and Tokuchi agreed. Well, we don't know if this is a trap or instead, a backfire.
Yoshida becomes the pitcher at the intro of next episode. What will happen to Tokuchi and what will happen next? We'll see at the next episode.
