Director Takashi Ono, known for indie films like "Pick It Up and Throw It Away!" combines elements of Showa-era sports and baseball manga to create this unique baseball film. After her husband, Kenichi, passes away, Natsuko's baseball talent is discovered by Shigeno (Takehiko Fujita), the manager of the Tamagawa Mets amateur baseball team. This brings to an end her life as a faithful and ordinary housewife. To pay off the debts left by Kenichi (Shuto), she becomes a pitcher in an amateur baseball team, and as she trains rigorously with Shigeno, she becomes obsessed with the pleasures of baseball. Surrounded by eccentric characters like her sister-in-law, Haruyo (Shima Izutsu), and professional baseball scout, Yoshida (Junya Kudo), Natsuko (Mitsuki Moriyama) continues her journey to become the ultimate female baseball player!
