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...
But we're so close to winning this time...
...لكنّنا قريبات جدّاً من الفوز هذه المرّة
Aber diesmal stehen wir
so kurz vorm Sieg …
Pero estamos tan cerca de ganar…
Pero estamos tan cerca de ganar…
On était si proches de la victoire !
Però, al momento stiamo vincendo...
Mas estamos tão perto
de ganhar dessa vez...
Но мы так близки к победе...
