[00:08] Mukai
    It must be true that
    stupid attracts stupid.
[00:13] Umemiya
    Well, I think it's time to go
    hunting for elite, preppy boys.
[00:17] Mukai
    It feels so great to make
    idiots like them cry.
[00:21] _Player
    Get 'em!
[00:22] _Player
    Knock it flying!
[00:38] Seto
    Thanks for the food!
[00:40] Seto
    I'll see you later.
[00:43] int_Asada
    I'm one of the last to finish again.
[00:46] @Sawamura
    Asada!
[00:48] @Sawamura
    Once you're eating, let's play some catch!
[00:50] @Sawamura
    That'll warm us up for afternoon practice.
[00:53] Asada
    Y-Yes, sir. I'll be there.
[00:55] @Sawamura
    Okay, I'll wait right here!
[00:58] Asada
    Huh? But that makes it harder to eat...
[01:01] @Miyuki
    What's going on?
[01:03] @Miyuki
    Is Sawamura roping a first-year
    into practicing with him?
[01:06] @Kuramochi
    The first-year rooming with
    us hasn't been feeling well,
[01:09] @Kuramochi
    so he's trying to cheer him up.
[01:12] @Miyuki
    Cheer him up?
[01:14] @Sawamura
    Instead of "I can't,"
     say "I can't yet!"
[01:17] @Sawamura
    Just say that when you feel ready to quit!
[01:21] @Sawamura
    That's what I've always
    done and will continue to do!
[01:25] Asada
    They said that on TV yesterday.
[01:28] @Sawamura
    The only enemy is inside yourself!
[01:31] @Sawamura
    You need to crawl up from here!
[01:37] Okumura
    Knock it off.
[01:41] Okumura
    Your idiotic shouting has
    made me lose my appetite.
[01:44] Okumura
    I feel sick.
[01:47] @Sawamura
    Huh?
[01:48] Okumura
    Even though he eats slowly,
    he finishes everything.
[01:56] Okumura
    We don't need any cheap encouragement.
[01:59] Okumura
    We're fighting in our own way.
[02:03] Okumura
    Could you please leave?
    I'm tired of looking at you, Senpai.
[02:10] @int_Sawamura
    T-Tired of looking at me?
[02:16] @int_Sawamura
    Leave?
[02:21] @Sawamura
    Wh-Wh-What's your problem?!
[02:23] @Sawamura
    You're a first-year, right?
    Yeah, a first-year!
[02:25] @Sawamura
    Tell me your class, name,
    and your roll number!
[02:29] Okumura
    Koshu Okumura. I play catcher.
[02:32] Okumura
    Don't you remember being
    in the bullpen with me?
[02:34] Okumura
    Are you only interested in first-years
    if they have a spot on the bench?
[02:38] @Sawamura
    I-I remember seeing you.
[02:41] Okumura
    And it doesn't matter
    what class I'm in.
[02:44] @int_Sawamura
    What a cocky first-year!
[04:26] @Sawamura
    See you later, Asada.
[04:28] Asada
    Y-Yes, sir.
[04:30] @Sawamura
    Kanemaru!
[04:31] @Sawamura
    Kanemaru, are you here?!
[04:33] @Kanemaru
    Shut up!
[04:34] @Sawamura
    Listen and tell me what you think!
[04:36] @Kanemaru
    It's all your fault!
[04:38] @Sawamura
    I didn't say anything yet!
[04:40] @Kanemaru
    Damn, I don't want to hear it.
[04:41] @Sawamura
    A first-year was just mouthing
    off to me in the cafeteria!
[04:45] @Kanemaru
    Calm down!
[04:55] (Flashback) fb_Asada
    I'm done!
[04:56] (Flashback) fb_Asada
    I finished in three bites, Senpai!
[04:58] (Flashback) fb_Asada
    Let's go!
[05:00] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Go where?!
[05:01] (Flashback) fb_Asada
    To play catch...
[05:05] int_Asada
    That was scary,
    but I think I did the right thing.
[05:10] int_Asada
    I've never seen anyone
    talk like that to a senior.
[05:19] int_Asada
    Oh, right. Catch.

[05:33] _Fan
    A screwball!
[05:34] _Fan
    It could have gone anywhere if he'd hit it.
[05:36] _Fan
    It's the top of the eighth, with two
    outs and runners on first and third.
[05:39] _Fan
    A solid hit could tie the game!
[05:41] _Player
    Umemiya-senpai!
[05:42] _Player
    Get us a hit!
[05:43] _Player
    Let's finish this, Taiyo-san!
[05:47] _Player
    Ume-nii!
[05:49] int_Umemiya
    Yeah, no one hates giving up as much as me.
[05:54] int_Umemiya
    Don't back down! Bring it on!
[05:59] int_Mukai
    I'm not backing down!
[06:01] int_Mukai
    If we trip up now, we won't
    stand a chance at nationals!
[06:08] _Umpire
    Foul!
[06:12] _Fan
    He threw an inside pitch to Umemiya!
[06:14] _Fan
    That's way too risky!
[06:15] _Fan
    He did it on purpose!
    Now he's got two strikes!
[06:18] _Fan
    Will he throw his screwball next?
[06:23] _Fan
    Another inside pitch!
[06:24] _Fan
    He was going for the third strike!
[06:26] _Fan
    He's feeling really gutsy!
[06:29] int_Player
    This is...
[06:30] int_Player
    the tenacity of the guy who
    takes the mound for Teito.
[06:36] int_Player
    He doesn't show any openings.
[06:38] int_Player
    His pitching technique is well-polished.
[06:42] int_Umemiya
    I know that look.
[06:46] int_Umemiya
    The eyes of someone who puts
    everything into their pitches to win.
[06:57] int_Umemiya
    Let me crush your resolve and pride.
[07:12] int_Mukai
    Instead of letting my opponent
    intimidate me with their bark,
[07:16] int_Mukai
    I'll gladly take the bite.
[07:19] int_Mukai
    Remember! What was all that training for?
[07:23] int_Umemiya
    Bring it. Come on.
[07:27] int_Mukai
    What was all that practice for?
[07:31] int_Mukai
    I don't like the look in your eyes.
[07:34] int_Umemiya
    Come on, bring it!
[07:37] int_Mukai
    Do you think you can beat me?!
[08:12] Mukai
    Yeah!

[08:28] @Miyuki
    He really said that?
[08:30] @Miyuki
    I wish I'd have been there.
[08:32] @Sawamura
    It's no laughing matter, Captain!
[08:35] @Sawamura
    I heard he's rooming with you!
[08:37] @Sawamura
    And he's a catcher, too!
[08:39] @Miyuki
    I seem to recall you insulting Azuma-senpai.
[08:43] @Miyuki
    What goes around comes around.
[08:44] @Miyuki
    History repeats itself.
[08:48] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    He's gonna play pro ball
    with a body like that?
[08:50] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Impossible!
[08:52] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Look at his belly!
[08:54] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    He looks like an old man!
[08:56] (Flashback) @fb_Rei
    Sawamura, stop!
[08:58] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I bet he's at least forty years old!
[09:00] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    There's no way he's in high school!
[09:03] (Flashback) fb_Azuma
    Wh-Who in the world...
[09:06] (Flashback) fb_Azuma
    is making fun of my cute belly?
[09:16] @fb_Sawamura
    This is nothing like that!
[09:18] @fb_Sawamura
    I was trying to pump up my roommate Asada!
[09:21] @Furuya
    Insulting?
[09:22] @Miyuki
    This is fun!
[09:23] @Sawamura
    No, it's not!
[09:25] @Miyuki
    Well, everyone has some things
    that get them mad.
[09:30] @Miyuki
    You probably got on his nerves
    somehow without realizing it.
[09:34] @Miyuki
    I think I did, too.
[09:38] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Well, don't be so impatient.
[09:40] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    If you do as he says,
    you'll definitely be able to improve.
[09:44] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    No way!
[09:46] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I don't want to pair up with
    someone so unmotivated!
[09:48] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Why is he still on the team?
[09:51] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    If he doesn't like to practice,
    he should just quit.
[09:58] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    What you said just now...
[10:00] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    I can't let it slide.
[10:04] @Miyuki
    What is it?
[10:05] @fb_Sawamura
    Maybe I did say something like that...
[10:08] @fb_Sawamura
    in this same room!
[10:11] @Sawamura
    I know it was a folly of youth,
[10:13] @Sawamura
    but I'm so ashamed of my first-year self!
[10:15] @Sawamura
    I want to get in a time machine
    and set him straight!
[10:18] @Furuya
    What did you do?
[10:19] @Sawamura
    Shut up! You have a dark past, too!
[10:23] @Miyuki
    I'll tell you about it later.
[10:25] @Sawamura
    That's not necessary!
[10:27] @Miyuki
    Sawamura.
[10:29] @Miyuki
    You can worry about first-years if you want,
    but you need to get ready yourself.
[10:34] @Miyuki
    Our game tomorrow is against Kasuga First,
    a powerhouse school from the east division.
[10:47] @Miyuki
    I'll deal with Okumura.
[10:49] @Miyuki
    Don't make any more trouble
    while we're in the tournament.
[10:56] Watanabe
    Thanks to a fine play by the second
    baseman, they couldn't catch up.
[10:59] Watanabe
    The eighth inning ended up deciding the game.
[11:04] Watanabe
    Teito defeated Ugumori 3–0.
[11:08] _Player
    Mukai's doing well this tournament.
[11:10] @Kanemaru
    He must've trained hard in the off season.
[11:12] @Kuramochi
    The game only took an hour and a half.
[11:15] Watanabe
    Then, for the second game,
[11:17] Watanabe
    we wanted to see how
    Kokaidai Sugata would fare against
[11:23] Watanabe
    Inashiro with their new
    former pro ball coach.
[11:26] Watanabe
    Carlos led off with a home run and
    Yamaoka brought in two more runs,
[11:30] Watanabe
    effectively crushing their ace, Yamada.
[11:32] Watanabe
    Unable to recover, they gave up
    seven runs in the first inning.
[11:36] Watanabe
    Sugata tried to counterattack,
[11:39] Watanabe
    but they could only score
    two runs against Hirano.
[11:43] Watanabe
    When the game was called in the seventh
    inning, the score was 11–2.
[11:46] Watanabe
    Inashiro has advanced to the semifinals
    while letting their ace, Narumiya, rest.
[11:51] @Kuramochi
    Carlos is hitting well.
[11:52] @Kanemaru
    So Teito will play Inashiro
    in the semifinals.
[11:56] @Kanemaru
    It's another battle between pitchers.
[11:59] Watanabe
    Kasuga First High's ace,
    whom we face tomorrow,
[12:03] Watanabe
    was the relief pitcher last fall,
[12:05] Watanabe
    but has performed well as
    the ace this tournament.
[12:09] Watanabe
    His slider is impressive,
[12:11] Watanabe
    but I think his new killer forkball
    is what has helped him up his game.
[12:19] @int_Sawamura
    From relief to the ace...
[12:22] Watanabe
    It's worth noting that they have
    several fast left-handed hitters.
[12:27] Watanabe
    The defense will need to watch for
    infield hits, hit-and-runs, and bunts.
[12:30] Watanabe
    Be ready for a variety of offensive plays.
[12:41] Kataoka
    Pitchers and catchers,
    report to the coaches' office.
[12:44] Kataoka
    We'll review tomorrow's rotation.
[12:48] _All
    Yes, sir!
[12:48] @Sawamura
    Yes, boss!
[12:50] Kataoka
    As for tomorrow's starting lineup...

[13:27] Narrator
    There are two outs with
    a runner on first base.
[13:56] _Player
    They didn't start Furuya.
[13:58] _Player
    It's their lefty, Sawamura.
[14:01] _Player
    Kasuga was probably expecting
    Furuya and was caught off-guard.
[14:06] _Player
    Furuya had a poor start last game.
    Maybe he's not in good form.
[14:11] _Player
    Maybe he burned out at Koshien Stadium.
[14:17] _Player
    But they have that sidewinder, Kawakami,
[14:20] _Player
    so they have no lack of pitchers.
[14:23] _Player
    I can hardly believe they were
    hurting for pitchers last year!
[14:30] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    I'm going to start Sawamura
    for tomorrow's game.
[14:36] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    They have a lot of left-handed
    batters and they swing hard.
[14:40] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Sawamura is the best choice.
[14:45] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Furuya will still pitch in the second half.
[14:48] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Be sure you're ready.
[14:51] (Flashback) fb_Furuya
    Will I start in left field?
[14:54] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    No, you'll stay on the bench.
[14:55] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    I want you to focus on pitching.
[15:02] @fbint_Miyuki
    He's rested up from the Invitational,
[15:05] @fbint_Miyuki
    but his pitching has seemed strained
    since coming back from Koshien Stadium.
[15:10] fbint_Ochiai
    He does fine in the bullpen.
[15:14] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    If we win tomorrow, the semifinals
    and finals will be back-to-back.
[15:19] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Our goal is to win a national title.
[15:23] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    I expect you to win not
    only the Kanto tournament,
[15:26] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    but every game we play.
[15:32] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Forget about your jersey number
    and your order in the rotation.
[15:35] (Flashback) fb_Kataoka
    Show me what you can accomplish as a team!
[15:39] (Flashback) fb_All
    Yes, sir!
[15:46] @int_Sawamura
    My shoulder feels relaxed,
    and the sensation in my fingers is fine.
[15:52] @int_Sawamura
    What's more, he let me start in a game
    he expects us to win.
[15:57] @int_Sawamura
    I want to live up to the boss's expectations.
[16:00] @Miyuki
    You're pitching well, Sawamura.
[16:02] @Sawamura
    You think so, too?
[16:03] @Miyuki
    You've got a solid rhythm.
[16:06] @Miyuki
    Want to mix in some numbers?
[16:11] @Miyuki
    Just a few.
[16:15] Seto
    He got the first three batters out.
[16:17] Seto
    Sawamura-senpai is looking good.
[16:20] Seto
    It's a shame he's the relief pitcher.
[16:26] int_Seto
    Telling one of the main pitchers
    to leave was a bad idea.
[16:30] int_Seto
    I just hope it doesn't blow up when
    the other players hear about it.
[16:35] int_Seto
    If only I'd been there.
[16:41] int_Asada
    His pitching is so free, as always.
[16:43] int_Asada
    I wish we had been able to play catch.
[17:08] Narrator
    It's the bottom of the second inning.
[17:09] Narrator
    There is one out and no runners on base.
[17:12] _Player
    Isn't this guy a first-year?
[17:16] Narrator
    Batting seventh, left fielder...
[17:18] Narrator
    Wearing #19, in his first at-bat
    after making the starting lineup...
[17:39] Narrator
    He struck out with a swing
    that awed the stands.

    Seido is up against Kasuga First!
[17:53] Announcer
    It's a great game between powerhouses
    from the east and west!
[17:55] Announcer
    It's a quiet start to the game, with both
    pitchers settled in from the get-go.
[18:00] _Player
    Yeah!
[18:01] Announcer
    Kasuga First is looking to
    get their momentum going
[18:04] Announcer
    against Seido High School's
    southpaw Eijun Sawamura.

    Which team will seize control of the game?
[18:17] _All
    Two outs! Two outs!
[18:20] @Sawamura
    Once more!
[18:23] _Player
    Was that a two-seamer?
[18:24] _Player
    Maybe a slider? I couldn't tell.
[18:42] _Player
    Was that a changeup?
[18:45] _Player
    But it sank, right?
[18:48] _Player
    Can that pitcher throw a forkball?
[18:52] int_Player
    What was that?
[18:54] int_Player
    I don't know how it broke like that.
[19:04] Announcer
    An inside pitch for strike three!
[19:07] Announcer
    That's three outs!
[19:16] Ochiai
    Those pitches were quite effective.
[19:23] int_Ono
    Throwing them in a real game...
[19:26] int_Kawakami
    Nothing surprises me anymore.
[19:28] @Sawamura
    Weren't those awesome?
[19:30] @Miyuki
    Not too bad.

    There's no guarantee I can
    keep the position I have!
[20:08] Announcer
    A comebacker!
[20:11] Announcer
    The second-base runner advances to third!

    The throw to first is too late!

    Batting third, second baseman, Kominato-kun.
[20:24] int_Player
    We got this batter out last time,
[20:27] int_Player
    but he knew how to hit the slider.
[20:31] int_Player
    Their cleanup bats next,
[20:32] int_Player
    so it would be best to avoid a
    squeeze play and strike him out.
[20:37] int_Player
    They'll run on a ground ball, infielders!
[20:40] int_Player
    Swing through, Takuya!
[20:45] _Player
    Throwing a forkball with a runner on third...
[20:49] _Player
    The Kasuga First High battery
    is making their move.
[20:56] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
    I think his new killer forkball
    is what has helped him up his game.
[21:08] @int_Miyuki
    The pitch that made him the ace.
[21:12] @int_Miyuki
    Essentially, their battery's lifeline.
[21:16] int_Watanabe
    Hiding behind the slider,
    their real ultimate pitch.
[21:21] int_Watanabe
    Here comes another forkball.
[21:28] Announcer
    It goes to left field!
[21:33] @int_Kuramochi
    Nice one, Haruichi!
[21:36] Announcer
    Seido High School is the
    first to step on home plate!
[21:40] _Player
    That was a nice hit.
[21:42] _Player
    It's tough facing a batter like that
    right before the cleanup.

    There are still no outs,
    and runners are on first and second!
