Story

Six years ago, following an important defeat, a group of friends promised that they would one day take their friend Suzuo to the Koshien. Now, in their first year of high school, the friends have reunited behind the pitcher, Kitarō Kitaōji, to keep their promise. With Suzuo as their manager and Kitarō's left-handed, underhand "Submarine Pitch", they may just go all the way.
