The matches between the middle schoolers and high schoolers continue, with the middle schoolers easily dismissing their opponents. Ootori caught spare balls and gives two of them to Hirari and Tenjin, allowing them to stay in the camp. The matches are then interrupted by a group of three high schoolers. A 3rd year from the upper courts, Oni Jūjirō, orders everyone who hasn't been able to obtain a ball to leave and they comply.
