As training progresses, Goro is in charge of deciding each players position. An unknown junior high school also shows up to test Goro. After he manages to get a hit off of Goro's third pitch, the boy decides to come to Seishuu. The young boy is none other than Shimizu's younger brother, Taiga Shimizu. He requests shortstop be left for him, so Goro places Uchimaya at 3rd, Miyazaki at 1st, Fuji at 2nd, and the 1st year trio in the out field. The batting order is also determined with Taiga 1st, Uchiyama 2nd, Toshiko 3rd, Goro 4th, Fuji 5th, Miyazaki 6th, and then the outfield trio. The team also gets a second trainer in none other than Suzuki Ayane. Once all the training is completed, the team is turned over to Yamada. Yamada calls all the older more powerful schools, and they all turn him down for an exhibition. Seeing no choice left, and not knowing Goro's history with them, Yamada contacts Kaidoh. Egashira takes the call. As soon as he learns its Seishuu he decides to make a match-up between Kaidoh's 2nd string and Seishuu. To make sure something happens to Goro, he also decides to go into the dugout himself. What is Egashira's plan, and can Goro overcome it?
