A kid named Donpei walked through a graveyard and finds a baseball bat on the ground with some funny writing on it. He swings it for fun and finds that anything he hits always lands where he wants. He becomes famous at school for always hitting home-runs. This bat belongs to a Youkai baseball team and this team asks Kitaro to get the bat back from the humans. Kitaro explains to the human kids they need the bat back but they won't. Kitaro offers a Baseball game at 3am to settle the issue; if the Humans win the Youkai will give up on the bat and if the Youkai win the human kids will have to give up their lives. Donpei's team accepts. The games is canceled before the game finished because the Youkai don't want to be caught in the sun. The issue is settled with the Youkai getting their bat back while the humans keep their lives. (Source: Wikipedia)
