In Episode 10, the narrative begins with the members of the Meisei High School baseball team discussing various types of ramen. This lighthearted conversation sets the tone for a practice game where the team is divided into red and white squads. They make a pact that the winning team will be treated to ramen by the losing team.
The red team consists of prominent players Akai and Touma. Akai, a first-year student, impresses the spectators with his skills, and Murotani, a third-year student, also contributes to the game's progression. Their pitching rotation is thrown into disarray when their key pitcher, Natsuno, injures his fingers and has to leave the game.
Amid this chaos, a second-year student named Tachibana steps in and takes over as the pitcher for the red team, demonstrating his strength and resilience. Tachibana had been the team's catcher in junior high before being moved to first base, and he struggles to adjust to his new role. Nevertheless, he manages to keep the white team's score low, allowing only one run over seven innings.
As Tachibana adapts to his new role, an older character named Senbongi visits the grave of Mr. Sawai, a deceased former player of the Meisei High School baseball team. At the cemetery, Senbongi meets Mayumi, Mr. Sawai's widow, who has since remarried and taken the name Tachibana.
Back at the game, the white team emerges victorious despite Tachibana's efforts and the strong performances of the other team members. While the defeated red team comes to terms with their loss, Senbongi's conversation with Mayumi hints that the legacy of the past still plays a significant role in the present, particularly concerning the Tachibana siblings.
In the final scenes, the red team accepts their defeat with grace, even as they come to grips with the missed opportunity for a ramen feast.
