(Nishiura-2 vs. Tosei-3[Yamanoi]: bottom of the 6th - bottom of the 7th inning) Though Nishiura is playing a good defense, the lucky breaks that Tosei keep on having make the members of Nishiura seem clumsy. The mound becomes slipper as the rain pours down harder, causing Mihashi to lose his footing and throw a wild pitch, giving Tosei the opportunity to steal another run. To make maters worse, Mihashi's fever is rising, but after Ruri tells him that Kanou and Mihoshi won their game, "Ren-Ren” has renewed strength and will to pitch the rest of the game.
