The national tournament begins at last. The Sato High team arrives at their lodging near the venue a day in advance, and shortly afterward, the brackets for the tournament are announced. It turns out they'll be playing in the first game, and their opponent is Seijo High. Just then, the Seijo High team members arrive to stay overnight at the same lodging, and the two teams have a barbecue together that night for dinner. Each member of each team has her own feelings toward the tournament as the night comes to an end... and then, at last, the Sato High baseball team takes the field for the first day of the national tournament.
We scored the first run last time too,
but they still ended up steamrolling us.
أحرزنا النقطةَ الأولى في المرّة السابقة أيضاً
لكن انتهى الأمر بسحقهن لنا
Letztes Mal haben wir den ersten Run auch für uns
entschieden und wurden dann in den Boden gestampft.
La última vez también
anotamos primero, pero perdimos.
La última vez también
anotamos primero, pero perdimos.
La dernière fois, on a marqué,
puis on s’est fait écraser…
L'altra volta, dopo aver fatto il primo punto,
ci hanno asfaltate, già.
Na outra vez, nós também pontuamos
no começo, depois elas nos atropelaram.
В прошлый раз первое очко тоже было
 нашим, но нас всё равно одолели.
