Episode Title:
Winners & Losers.
Episode Description:
The day of the contest has arrived. Izumi is near defeat but Ryo can't keep thinking about why she hates her so much. She figures that it must have something to do with that picture and decides to throw her last pitch just a little slower. Izumi gets to first and the team is defeated. Later, Izumi is talking to Hiroki and he tells her that Ryo let her win. When she learns that and seeing how her mother feels about the team, she asks her mother not to dissolve it. The sulking Ryo sleeps in late thinking she's been kicked out of school but her teammates meet her downstairs in the bar to give her the good news.
