In episode 16 of Mix - Meisei Story S2, the plot unfolds at the Meiji Jingu Secondary Stadium, where Meisei High and Eishin High battle for a spot in the quarterfinals of the East Tokyo Championship.
The episode begins with Meisei High's first baseman and captain, Imagawa, making a narrow save. However, due to a miscommunication between him and the pitcher, he misses the chance to cover first base, allowing Eishin High to score. Meisei's manager admits to giving the wrong instructions and is haunted by memories of a past game and a player named Keiichi Sawai.
Meanwhile, Kenjo and Takanami play their game at the Meiji Jingu Stadium. The batting strength of the Kenjo team is highlighted, and their batters have grown increasingly uncertain since the practice match against Meisei.
During the Meisei vs. Eishin game, Eishin High pulls off a clever trick with a hidden ball, robbing Meisei of a crucial scoring opportunity. The commentators disapprove of the trick, believing it goes against the spirit of high school baseball. Despite this setback, Meisei's pitcher Tachibana remains determined to play hard, even at the risk of injury.
Midway through the game, the audience learns about Tachibana's backstory. Originally named Souichirou Sawai, he and his mother changed their surname after she remarried. This revelation connects him to the haunting memory of Keiichi Sawai, which troubles Meisei's manager.
Despite the intense game, the episode also has lighthearted moments. For example, when Tachibana's sister Otomi, who usually cheers him on, is absent due to a cold, Tachibana jokes that it will be her fault if they lose.
As the game progresses, Meisei's batters suddenly come alive, managing to land a hit and tying the game. The episode ends with the teams set for the quarterfinals of the East Tokyo Championships, and Meisei High has made it.
