Miyuki then calls for a changeup, which Sawamura learnt before the quarterfinals thanks to the advices from Ochiai. During Furuya's pitching debut[14] Sawamura gets angry and tells Chris that he'll never become a soulless player like him. Sawamura assures Kanemaru that everything is okay and stays focused. Sawamura tested out a new revised Splitter grip and by having one finger on the seam and one off the seam instead of staying away from the seams completely like a normal Splitter grip, he was able to get behind the ball more and transfer more force into it, giving it more velocity and the pithch also has both the sinking action of a Splitter as well has a tailing action of a 2-seamer/sinker and is akin to a hybrid pitch between the two.

Back at Seidou, Sawamura practices with the net, while Furuya is running nearby. This turned out to be incorrect however, perhaps due to Ochiai thinking that Sawamura is unable to naturally produce breaking pitches as Sawamura's pitches stopped breaking irregularly during the time he had the yips where he relies more heavily on his 4-seam fastball. In the 8th inning, Sawamura presumably retired Ichinose and faces Akashi for the final time. After their last match, Sawamura gets scouted by Takashima Rei, the assistant director of Seidou High.

Miyuki then calls for an inside pitch but Sawamura hits the batter, resulting in an unstable performance. But because of Miyuki's nasty personality and never ending teasing, Sawamura never shows him the same respect as the other senpais, instead treating him as someone of his own age.

Coach Kataoka explains that this is the result of the opponent going all out.
