[00:33] @Miyuki
    Great pitching is something created by the

    In the championship game against Inashiro...
[02:34] @Sawamura
    We were one out away from
    playing at Koshien Stadium.
[02:37] @Sawamura
    But my pitch hit a batter,
    which tied the score.
[02:40] @Sawamura
    Then we gave up the lead and
    it was a walk-off loss.
[02:44] @Sawamura
    We missed that ticket to nationals.
