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 worked so hard on our defense,
and it's falling apart at crucial times...
عملنا جاهدات على خطِّ دفاعنا، وها هو 
ينهار في مثل هذا الوقت الحرج
Wir haben so hart an unserer Abwehr gearbeitet und
ausgerechnet in so einem wichtigen Spiel zerbricht sie …
Trabajamos mucho en la defensa, pero
se desmorona en un partido importante.
Trabajamos mucho en la defensa, pero
se desmorona en un partido importante.
Non posso credere che, nonostante gli allenamenti,
 la difesa crolli in un momento come questo.
Treinamos tanto a nossa defesa,
e ela está ruindo num jogo importante...
Мы так хорошо отработали защиту,
но в важной игре этого не видно.
