After the previous episode's tie, the Seishu baseball team is preparing to face off against another team for a crucial match. As the players discuss their strategy, they notice a new face on the opposing team - a girl named Akane Takigawa who seems to have some connection to their teammate, Aoba. Aoba tries to ignore her presence, but Akane persists, claiming that she wants to become friends with Aoba. However, Aoba is hesitant and tells Akane that she doesn't know who she is.
Despite Aoba's reservations, Akane continues to tag along with the Seishu team throughout the day. She helps out with the team's equipment and even joins in their practice. Aoba is clearly uncomfortable with her presence, but the rest of the team is happy to have another person around. However, their happiness is short-lived as Akane's presence becomes more and more disruptive. She accidentally hits one of the Seishu players with a bat and interrupts their practice. Aoba is fed up with her and tells Akane to leave, but Akane refuses to go.
Later in the day, Aoba finally confronts Akane about her presence. She asks Akane if she's really interested in baseball or if she's just using it as a way to get closer to her. Akane responds by telling Aoba that she wants to understand her better and help her. Aoba is still skeptical, but she allows Akane to stay and watch their match.
During the match, Seishu's opponents are playing dirty, trying to take out their players. Akane helps out by warning Aoba about a possible pitch aimed at her head. Aoba is surprised by Akane's instincts and starts to consider her in a different light. After the game, Aoba and Akane have a heart-to-heart conversation in which Akane reveals that she's actually a member of a rival baseball team. She asks Aoba to not hold that against her and to keep being her friend.
Although Aoba is still hesitant, she agrees to consider Akane a friend and the two share a heartfelt moment. Meanwhile, the Seishu team is preparing for their next match, hoping to continue their winning streak.
