Sakai operates heavy machinery to kill a man in order to dissuade Shinada, who is inching closer to the truth of the Nagoya Family. As Sakai leaves via rooftop, he is spotted and chased by Shinada. Sakai brings Shinada, Koichi Takasugi and Uno to a more desolate area, talking about the greatest play a baseball player could make: a sacrifice fly, where one hits the ball far away so his teammates can score points but the batter themselves doesn't get on a base. Apologizing to Shinada, Sakai fights him. 
Sakai is defeated, and tells Shinada about how he felt that the team did Shinada wrong by tarnishing his talent. Sakai reveals the Nagoya Family are the ones who framed Shinada for sign stealing and match fixing and he was was sacrificed for Nagoya, but as Sakai is about to reveal who is in charge of the Nagoya family, someone pushes a cement mixer off a nearby building onto Shinada, but Sakai pushes him out of the way, getting crushed instead.
