An actual team begins to take shape when some 1st-years show up to play. But to get a couple upperclassmen to stay will take some special convincing.

Summary
Having decided to join the baseball club, Yoshino Kawaguchi hands their sing-ups to a teacher, who explains that most of the team members left after last years scandal for which the club was put on hiatus, however there are still some older students still in the club. Yoshino returns to the girls and informs them about it and they start practicing and waiting for the older students to come. Yomi sees two girls observing them before leaving.

Going for a practice, they see two girls on the field and think they are the upperclassmen, but the girls deny it, stating they are first years too. They introduce themselves as Sumire Fujita, a second base player and Ryou Kawasaki, a shortstop player. They start practicing and Sumire and Ryou start competing who is better with Ryou making flashy dives to catch the ball. Yomi sees the two girls from yesterday and approaches them again, being sure that they are the upperclassmen. The girls introduce themselves as Risa Fujiwara and Rei Okada, and explain that the team was quite strong, but all left after the scandal. As they take it seriously and not just for fun, they are playing with other teams and league in order to be able to continue playing in college. Rei tells them they can form a new team with new students, however as they were about to leave, Yomi asks Rei if she can hit her pitch and to think of it as "passing on the torch". Rei accepts if that is going to make them leave them.

They get in the field and Yomi throws a fastball, but Rei doesn't move and Yomi scores a strike. Yomi then throws her Magic Ball, Rei swings and misses, realizing it isn't an ordinary curveball, but believes she saw the path and can hit it next time. Yomi then throws a ball and Rei doesn't swing again. Yomi wants to make a bet that the loser have to do whatever the winner wants and Rei accepts. Rei recalls how they were treated in the club, how they kept the field and equipment in shape for six months and how much she wants to play baseball. As Yomi throws, Rei hits the ball, sending it into the center field where Ibuki is unable to catch it. Rei then explains that is her position and if she was there, she would have catch it, so the win is theirs. As they won, Yomi asks Rei and Risa to play in the team with them and they agree. Yomi then feels disappointed that Rei managed to hit her ball and now thinks her special ball isn't special. Tamaki explains it wasn't that good hit and asks the other girls to hit, but all except Risa are striked out and Risa makes a bad hit. Risa explains that they were observing them since the first day they started practicing and know about Yomi's ball. Kyouka Fujii, the club adviser then shows up and introduces herself.
