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...
Even their third string
won't go down without a fight.
حتّى لاعبات الصفّ الثالث يرهقننا
Selbst ihr drittklassiges Team
macht’s uns nicht leicht.
Hasta su tercer equipo nos da problemas.
Hasta su tercer equipo nos da problemas.
même les recrues nous donneront
du fil à retordre.
Saranno anche la terza squadra, 
ma non ci lasceranno vincere facilmente.
Mesmo o time C deles não é moleza.
Даже третий состав
 не даст нам расслабиться.
