Sawamura is nervous being roomed with his older baseball teammates. However, their unexpectedly warm welcome makes him feel right at home. Next day, he feels too much at home, and ends up sleeping in for his first practice! There, he reunites with Miyuki who also overslept. Unfortunately, Miyuki's advice on resolving the situation only makes it worse. The head coach himself tells Sawamura that using him as a player is out of the question. However, recalling the messages from his teammates back home, he declares to the coach, "I came here to become the ace of this team!" So the head coach gives him a challenge.
I can't believe 
I'm late on my first day!
Ich fass es nicht, dass ich an
 meinem ersten Tag zu spät bin.
¡No puedo creer que llegue 
tarde en mi primer día!
¡No puedo creer que vaya a llegar 
tarde en mi primer día!
Je suis en retard 
dès le premier jour !
Não acredito que vou me
 atrasar no primeiro dia!
