Summary[]
Gibson's speech makes the USA team starts playing seriously. Gibson strikes out Silva. At the top of the 9th, the USA team scores 6 runs against Valenzuela. USA wins the match by 6-2. Momoko tells Goro that Shingo is leaving the baseball. After spending a day with Shingo, Goro encourages him to do what makes him happy. After taking Shingo to the hotel, Hideki tells Goro that Gibson was hospitalized.
Manga and Anime Differences[]
Goro's small trip with Shingo is not present in the manga. In the manga, Goro just gives him the autographs from Itao and Kyoshiro and talks to him very briefly. Hideki tells Goro about Gibson's situation immediately after. Furthermore, Shingo's flashback happens earlier in the manga, during the Japan vs. Cuba match.
