Seasons
With two outs and the bases loaded at the top of the ninth inning, it's Koharu's bat. Before she goes out Nene shows her a fax from her father that has the Kanji for Wind on it.
It has come down to the semi-finals and it's the Kisaragi girls' team against the boys' team. Ryo is having problems focusing after seeing Hiroki and Izumi kiss.
The Kisaragi Girls are beating everyone they come up against. Hiroki's grandfather comes to the Oden bar and talks to Ryo.
The Kisaragi Girls have drawn a dirty-playing team for their first game.
Yuki, brooding over her missing Fifi-chan, remembers how she helped to win the championship in junior high only to be ostracized by her teammates.
After Izumi's call, Hiroki pays a visit to her to make sure everything is all right.
The girls head out to begin their intensive training camp before preliminaries start.
Coach Kido announces that he has decided to make Ryo the team captain. She learns that Hiroki's birthday is coming up and decides to make him a present.
The Parents' Association has been calling for the baseball team to be dissolved and Principal Mita agrees.
Hiroki arrives at the orphanage but learns that Ryo is hospitalized after she rescued the kids.
Ryo knows that she is to be expelled and the team dissolved and so she heads out to her father's hometown.
With the notoriety of the girls' win, a report digs up information on Ryo's father which begins a scandal.
Ryo is losing confidence in herself but her teammates continue to do their part in the field.
The day of the game has arrived. In order to get an advantage over the other team, the girls use their femininity to get to a quick lead.
In order to get Rinkai High to play them, Keiko told the papers that they must be afraid of their pitcher's magic ball.
Keiko appeals her case to the board directly so that they may let the girls play but is refused again.
The girls are playing against a junior high team but they are still short one player. The coach introduces Nene in a player's uniform so that they can compete.
The day of the contest has arrived. Izumi is near defeat but Ryo can't keep thinking about why she hates her so much.
Izumi searches for the identity of the mysterious man but gets no answers from her mother's butler or from Coach Kido.
With only two more girls needed to complete the team, Ryo asks Izumi to join and is greeted with scorn.
None of the players can catch Ryo's pitches and so a search for a catcher begins.
Coach Kido goes to the Oden bar and shows Ryo a tape of a baseball player with a famous batting technique called the Wave Motion Swing.
Coach Kido has been told that one of their recruits, Seira Morimura, has refused to join the team.
Ryo is accepted into Kisaragi School but worried about leaving her mother to run the Oden bar by herself.
The chairwoman at the Kisaragi School for Girls has determined that there will be a girls' baseball team and that they will go to Koshien within three years. Ryo is offered one of the scholarships issued to build this team.
