    Is he thinking we'll only
    pitch to the outside?
[00:07] Mi
    I would love to pitch some inside
    and get him off his game.
[00:15] Mi
    But is Sawamura ready to do that right now?
[00:20] Mi
    We have some runs,
    and this is the first inning.
[00:23] Mi
    I personally want Sawamura
    to overcome the yips, too,
[00:28] Mi
    but we should play it safe
    and go outside here.
[00:39] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[00:40] Ka
    Sawamura.
[00:41] Sa
    He didn't hesitate as he
    stepped in for the swing.
[00:45] Sa
    Even I understand what he's thinking.
[00:48] Sa
    He doesn't think I'll pitch to the inside.
[00:52] Mi
    You...
[00:54] Sa
    We have to go inside right here.

    stepped in for the swing.
[02:33] Sa
    Even I understand what he's thinking.
[02:36] Sa
    He doesn't think I'll pitch to the inside.
[02:40] Mi
    You...
[02:43] Sa
    We have to go inside right here.
[03:06] Mi
    This batter's not expecting
    any inside pitches.
[03:09] Mi
    He'll fall back, even if it's not in too much.
[03:12] Mi
    Give me a strike!
[03:17] NC
    With Giant's power,
    he can hit to the outfield.
[03:21] NC
    Double check the fielders' positions.
[03:25] Sa
    Just like usual.
[03:28] Sa
    Gotta relax.
[03:30] N1
    I'm confident I won't lose in power.
[03:38] Sa
    Relax my entire body.
[03:43] Sa
    And focus on just one point.
[03:48] Sa
    Right here!
[03:58] N1
    Damn!
[03:59] N1
    Did he try to hit me?
[04:01] Um
    Strike!
[04:06] Mi
    You're the one who stepped in.
[04:08] Mi
    Don't be so surprised.
[04:10] Mi
    It was definitely in the strike zone.
[04:13] Mi
    It wasn't a brushback pitch.
[04:16] Mi
    In fact, if you hadn't stepped in,
[04:19] Mi
    you might've gotten a hit.
[04:20] Mi
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[04:26] Ku
    You've finally done it.
[04:28] Ma
    The inside!
[04:30] S1
    Are you serious?
[04:32] S2
    What about the yips?
[04:35] Ka
    This is him.
[04:36] Ka
    He's standing there because
    he constantly surprises us.
[04:41] C1
    Nice one, Sawamura!
[04:43] C2
    Let's get aggressive!
[04:45] C3
    You're awesome!
[04:47] NC
    Wh-What's going on?
[04:49] NC
    It was just a strike.
[04:52] S1
    It wasn't just a strike.
[04:56] S1
    Did you see the look
    on that sumo batter?
[05:00] Mi
    Hey, stop smiling so much, idiot.
[05:05] Mi
    It's too soon to be happy.
[05:07] Mi
    You have to get this batter out first.
[05:13] N1
    Well I guess I can't just
    aim for the outside.
[05:16] N1
    I'll have to swing at anything
    that may be a strike.
[05:18] N2
    Giant!
[05:19] N3
    Don't think! Swing!
[05:21] Ku
    Let's go, Sawamura!
[05:22] Ma
    Come on!
[05:24] Sa
    My heart is beating...
[05:27] Sa
    ...so loudly.
[05:29] Sa
    I can't suppress my excitement.
[05:32] Sa
    My emotions are overflowing.
[05:36] Mi
    I said to be careful!
[05:39] Sa
    Oh, shoot!

[05:44] N1
    I got jammed again.
[05:46] C1
    The outfielder didn't move.
[05:47] C1
    Third base runner's advancing!
[05:49] N2
    Stop!
[05:53] C2
    He got stopped!
[05:56] C3
    Incredible!
[05:58] C3
    That throw from left field
    was like a missile!

    Stop showing off your number!

    You have troubles in the early game, too!
[06:16] Sa
    Two outs, everyone!
[06:18] Sa
    Please stay calm!
[06:22] SS
    That's our line, stupid.
[06:25] Ha
    That's Furuya-kun's way of encouraging him.
[06:29] Mi
    The tables have turned today.
[06:33] Sa
    Damn!
[06:35] Sa
    I got overexcited from
    throwing one inside pitch.
[06:38] Mi
    That's right.
[06:39] Mi
    That mound isn't just yours.
[06:44] Mi
    You've just laid down the seed.
[06:49] Mi
    Will you bloom into
    a big flower that stands out?
[06:52] Mi
    Or maybe a small, yet tough, flower?
[06:56] Mi
    How you grow is up to you.
[07:08] Um
    Strike!
[07:09] Um
    Batter out!
[07:10] C1
    Swing out!
[07:11] C2
    To the outside!
[07:14] S1
    Nice one, Sawamura!
[07:15] S1
    You didn't give up a run
    in the first inning.
[07:21] Sa
    Ye—
[07:22] Ku
    Yeah, yeah. Nice pitch.
[07:25] Ku
    But it's just the first inning.

    Sawamura-kun did a great job!
[08:21] Ha
    A shut-out in his first game as a starter!
[08:24] M1
    It was called after five innings,
[08:26] M1
    but he managed to get the outs
     with runners on base.
[08:28] M1
    So he did a good job.
[08:31] EE
    Good game!
[08:34] Mi
    He had some meatballs here and there,
[08:37] Mi
    but his pitches were alive.
[08:39] Sa
    Thank you!
[08:41] Mi
    More importantly, we've gained a lot
    now that he can pitch inside again.
[08:48] Mi
    You've finally made it.

    You can be in contention
    for the ace position now.

[09:11] I1
    Their roster change really worked.
[09:14] I2
    Not just Miyuki, but Kuramochi, 
    Kominato, and Maezono all looked good.
[09:20] I1
    They went five innings without Furuya pitching
    and didn't give up any runs.
[09:23] I2
    They have a strong lineup of pitchers.

    The only run was scored in the first inning.
[10:00] C2
    It's already the fifth inning.
[10:02] C2
    That pitcher is harder
    to break than he seems.
[10:13] Um
    Foul!
[10:16] C1
    That pitch!
[10:17] C1
    That's the tricky pitch
    everyone's having trouble with.
[10:20] U1
    That was close!
[10:21] C1
    That slow curve ball doesn't
    even get to 100 km/h.
[10:25] C1
    It's really slow, and it doesn't
    even look like it drops much.
[10:29] C2
    It looks like a nice easy pitch from here.
[10:31] S1
    But it's thanks to that pitch
[10:35] S1
    that his fastballs look faster than they are.
[10:40] U1
    Right field!
[10:44] U1
    Yeah!
[10:45] U2
    Nice!
[10:47] U3

    Second-year and ace, Seiichi Umemiya.
[11:02] IM
    His slow curve ball and fastball
    have completely different timings,
[11:05] IM
    and our players aren't reacting well.
[11:08] IM
    In fact, they're helping him
    by popping his pitches.
[11:17] Na
    You're trying too hard to get big hits!
[11:19] Na
    You're not in the majors here!
[11:21] I1
    Neither are you!
[11:23] I2
    I won't let him have his way.
[11:26] I3
    I'll pressure him from the bases.
[11:30] I4
    Switch gears, everyone!
[11:32] I4
    Let's defend well and segue
    into our next offense.
[11:35] Na
    Well said, Fuku-chan!
[11:38] Na
    That's our captain!
[11:39] Na
    Finding the tempo
    in defense is important!
[11:42] Na
    Tempo is very important
    when it comes to batting!
[11:45] I3
    Don't act like you said it.
[11:48] I2
    You always copy someone.
[11:50] I5
    To be honest, this game
    isn't going well for us.
[11:54] I5
    Hirano-san's doing a good job
    keeping their batters in check,
[11:58] I5
    but every time we fail to score,
[12:01] I5
    we're vitalizing them.
[12:13] U1
    Make chance?
[12:15] U1
    Make miracle?
[12:16] U1
    I don't really get what they mean,
    but that's what's good!
[12:18] U1
    Let's turn this around!
[12:20] UU
    Yeah!
[12:21] U1
    Get some hits!
[12:23] I5
    No.
[12:25] I5
    We can't give them any more momentum.
[12:30] Na
    Itsuki!
[12:32] Na
    Stay aggressive!
[12:34] Na
    Don't play passively!
[12:37] Na
    I'm still here.
[12:41] Na
    We can't lose if we don't let them score.
[12:54] U1
    With an ace like him on standby,
[12:57] U1
    I'm sure it's reassuring.
[13:00] U1
    In fact,
[13:02] U1
    why don't you just stay there, Mei Narumiya?
[13:08] U1
    At the end of the day, we'll close the game.
[13:23] I1
    Umemiya ran for it!
[13:26] U2
    Nice steal!
[13:28] U3
    Yeah! Nice run, Ume-chan!
[13:30] C1
    He ran again?
[13:32] C2
    He's a pitcher, too.
[13:34] Na
    What are you doing, Itsuki?
[13:36] Na
    Don't give him a free steal!
[13:40] C1
    This team always tries to go for the steals,
[13:44] C1
    though they also fail often.
[13:46] C2
    It's like they're not afraid of
    making mistakes in this game.
[13:50] I1
    Two outs, Itsuki.
[13:52] I1
    Let's focus on the batter.
[14:00] C1
    Their five-hole's quick
    compact swing got them a hit!
[14:03] C2
    Right in front of right field!
[14:04] C3
    But it's not very deep!
[14:08] Na
    Back home!
[14:09] C1
    No way! He's going for it?!
[14:26] Um
    Out!
[14:29] U1
    No way!
[14:34] C1
    He was so close.
[14:37] C2
    Damn, he runs fast.
[14:39] C2
    That was almost safe.
[14:41] C1
    What an all-around athlete.
[14:43] U1
    Seriously?
[14:45] U1
    I thought I ducked under properly.
[14:51] U1
    You didn't touch me there, did you?
[14:53] U1
    Nice fake touch.
[15:03] IM
    Wh-What a reckless pitcher.
[15:05] IM
    I would've stopped him.
[15:07] IM
    Being assertive and
    being reckless are different!
[15:10] IM
    Don't underestimate our defense!
[15:12] IC
    This is how they play.
[15:15] IC
    Even though their play failed,
    they're looking more confident than before.

    Nice run.
[15:20] U2
    Nice run!
[15:21] U3
    Yeah!

    Ume-chan, here's a towel.
[15:25] U3
    Ume-chan, want an umeboshi?
[15:27] Um
    Mm, thank you.
[15:29] U4
    Umemiya, make sure you catch your breath
     before going back to the mound.
[15:33] Um
    I'm not that weak. Don't worry.
[15:36] Um
    You're the one who made us
    run so much this summer, too!
[15:40] U4
    Am I?
[15:42] Um
    Yeah, you sadistic manager!
[15:44] U4
    But if we'd trained normally,
    we couldn't make any upsets.
[15:57] Um
    True.

    If we're trying to take down
    a bigger opponent,
[16:02] Um
    we have to put in the work.

    Berserk, tackle, reckless, failure...
[16:13] Um
    I don't care how it looks.

    could win us the game!
[19:11] S1
    That pitch...
[19:17] C1
    Did that drop super fast?

    Was it a slider?

    Give me that pitch.
[20:00] U1
    I'm sure the batters will
    think it's a slider,
[20:05] U1
    but according to Umemiya,
    it's another curve ball.
[20:10] U1
    The slow curve ball falls
    out of his hand as he throws,
[20:16] U1
    but his "power" curve ball,
    he throws down with his hand.
[20:25] U1
    He doesn't seem to acknowledge it,
[20:27] U1
    but finger dexterity isn't exactly trainable.
[20:32] U1
    He was born with the talent.
[20:39] C1
    That Umemiya pitcher
    from Ugumori is tenacious.
[20:42] C2
    He didn't let Inashiro score again.
