Game set. Eijun Sawamura, the pitcher of a novice junior high baseball team, meets with a bitter walk-off loss. For Sawamura, that became his last game in junior high, so he sets a new goal of going to the nationals in high school with his teammates. As he begins his hard quest on studying, a guest arrives unannounced. Her name is Rei Takashima, and she is the assistant director of the prestigious Seidou High School Baseball Team. Takashima invites Sawamura to Seidou after seeing his potential, but Sawamura's reply was far from what she had expected.
He made me procure buses 
to take them to practice games,
Er hat mich dazu gebracht,
Busse für Trainingsspiele aufzutreiben
Hizo que consiguiera autobuses para 
llevarlos a los juegos de práctica
Hizo que consiguiera autobuses para 
llevarlos a los partidos de entrenamiento
Moi, il m’ordonnait de louer un bus 
pour aller jouer des matchs amicaux,
Ele me fez alugar um ônibus para levá-los aos jogos...
