With two weeks left until the national tournament the Sato High girls are abruptly challenged to a practice game by Kosaka Tsubaki of the highly competitive Kogetsu High School. Why does such a strong team want to challenge Sato High? The girls are uncertain, but they cheerfully accept. Tsubasa decides to announce the starting positions and batting order that they'll use for the game as well as the tournament, but Tomoe and Akane are left off the roster...
I appreciate you giving 
our third string a game.
