is a Japan-exclusive puzzle video game which was released in 1997.

Summary

It is a mixture between Puyo Puyo (or any other falling block puzzle video game) and baseball, featuring the 1997 Nippon Professional Baseball teams and mascots from Central League and Pacific League.

The player drop a pair of two blocks (helmet if he is hitter or glove if he is pitcher) which can be moved left and right and rotated into his playing field. Like in Puyo Puyo, when four or more block (helmet or glove) of the same color form together to create a group, vertical, horizontal, they will disappear. However, unlike in Puyo Puyo, it uses the baseball rules. When the blocks reaches the top of the playing field and no new blocks can enter, all the blocks disappear from the playing field and in the Super Famicom version, the opponent score one point, in the Playstation version, the player can't play for five seconds.
