The summer tournament is finally under way. Seido’s first opponent, Yura Sogo led by Coach Sasaki, is preparing themselves thoroughly for the game. Narumiya starts the first game for Seido’s rival, Inashiro. Even though their opponent is no match for them, Inashiro never wants to show any sign of weakness in a baseball game. In stadiums around the country, powerful schools begin their battles. And now it is time for Sawamura to take the mound for the first time as ace...

L’an dernier aussi,
le tournoi a filé en un éclair.
L'anno scorso il torneo è finito all'improvviso,
esattamente com'era iniziato.
Ano passado também, depois que o torneio
começou, tudo passou num instante.
В прошлом году турнир 
закончился, не успев начаться.
