The Kisargi High girls' baseball team begins to take shape under the leadership of ace pitcher Ryo and star hitter Izumi, but the unseasoned players face an uphill battle. Ms. Himuro, the school chairman, challenges the sexist policies of the national baseball association, insisting they allow her team to compete. She tricks them into agreeing--if Kisargi can beat the prestigious Rinkai High boys' team. Coach Kido has the girls use their feminine wiles to derail the Rinkai players' concentration, but everything still rests on Ryo's pitching, and episode 13 ends on a cliffhanger. Rated 12 Up, but suitable for younger viewers; alcohol use.
