I thought pitcher is alone and have heavy responsibility. These are my image for pitcher, before I read this manga. In this volume, team member call out to Ren Mihashi from behind him during his desperate situation. This voice was reaching him and he threw a complete game.
On the other hand, I learned high school baseball is very cruel because they have to win all the game. If they lose the game, they can't go to the Koushi-en.
