Without hardwork the Tigers were suggested by Jack to play their practice hardly. He tells their team will not give up against their opponents, as they want to beat the first place team either, and that's why their pitcher didn't throw any strikes, and having a lot of strikeouts themselves if they don't play with their might. Jack then approaches Jiro, telling that Jiro will be alright when he lost a practice match and don't be discouraged. Jack gives a courage, so they can have one more game for a league match if they really practice, can beat the Golden Birds next time. Jack then lets the Tigers to practice, handling his ball to another players.
As Jiro hears Jack's advice to win that game, he was approached by the Boss who claims that curveball is too loose, and loosest curve is the easiest pitch to hit.

Jiro's Magic Ball can utilize the electronic waves even a single curveball match, as explained by the Boss that he was a scientist who took 10 years to create this magic ball. He clarifies that for a little league batter, it would be much impossible to be hit by opponents. The Boss offers one more time, to use this magic ball to defeat Golden Birds soon. And in exchange, he will be the little league champion pitcher too. Jiro goes to practice once again, claiming the magic ball is the easy way. He admits Jiro just threw a great curve, and trying again. Just in the time for Jack's practice for the ball strikes, Devil Ball controls the ball to aim for Jack's head from outside with his controller, hitting Jack's head and he suffers from falling.
Back to the hospital, Ace, King and Queen cheers Jack when he was hospitalized due to damage by that ball, and there is no brain damage according to the X-ray images. King clarifies that Jack was hit by an elementary schooler's pitch ball, with Jack claims that was such a ball of iron. Jack is going to practice again, but Ace told him that he was need to rest instead. Jack understands Ace's reason as King is too much of expression about winning the game when he plays the baseball in high school. With Jack's courage, Ace proceeds to practice the Tigers, as well as King and Queen ordering their practice to the Tigers. The Boss thinks that he got Jack right on the head. King is about to strike, but he is often falling many times. The Boss orders Devil Ball to execute Operation Magic Ball Part 2.

Joker claims that was a receiver installed inside the magic ball who are controlled by the electronic waves. Ace admits that Jack was coaching a little league team and gave Jirou with this ball. Joker knows that the ball does hit Jack in the head. During their practice by Jack and King, the Boss once again admits Devil Ball to use Full Control to make them go on a rampage. The balls began to rampage, confusing the ISSIS members and JAKQ to difficult to beat those balls. Ace momentarily smashes that ball, thanks to Joker and Hamster-kun's courage. King is able to bind the magic ball to defeat CRIME with his kendama, as Jack and Queen orders them to evacuate, rebelling against Devil Ball's orders. Ace is ready with Sky Ace, as he can't control Sky Container due to Devil Ball's surprise attack. If JAKQ can't get into strengthening capsules hidden inside Sky Ace, they can't change into the invincible JAKQ. Iron Claw is so amazed that JAKQ will be defeated as Devil Ball 2 is their pride.
