Fuurin Middle is still struggling with their roster. Though Daigo approaches Chisato's older sister, he completely gets shut down. Somehow they get their ninth player by adding the short stop player Chiba to the team. Still, Anita and Chisato have not given up on getting Chiyo to join the team. When Nishina finds a letter from Anita in his locker, asking him to meet her before practice, he gets his hopes up for something...
Even though I thought I'd never
get involved with baseball again.

E eu achava que nunca mais
iria me envolver com basebol.
А ведь думала, что больше
не буду иметь дел с бейсболом.
