Spring training is over, and it’s time for the real fun to start. Mihashi's confidence got a huge boost from beating his old school, and now he's more determined than ever to become his team's ace. With Abe calling the pitches, the once shell-shocked hurler feels like he can strike out the world. But things won't be easy for the Nishiura nine in the big summer tournament. They play the defending champs in the first round, and Mihashi comes down with a bad case of fastball envy when he bumps into Abe's old pitcher. Playing for fun is fine, but now that the games count - it's time to win!
