[00:04] Kataoka
    I'm going to start Sawamura
    for tomorrow's game.
[00:10] Kataoka
    They have a lot of left-handed
    batters and they swing hard.
[00:15] Kataoka
    Sawamura is the best choice.
[00:19] Kataoka
    If we win tomorrow, the semifinals
    and finals will be back-to-back.
[00:24] Kataoka
    Our goal is to win a national title.
[00:28] Kataoka
    I expect you to win not
    only the Kanto tournament,
[00:30] Kataoka
    but every game we play.
[00:37] Kataoka
    Forget about your jersey number
    and your order in the rotation.
[00:40] Kataoka
    Show me what you can accomplish as a team!
[00:47] Announcer
    An inside pitch for strike three!
[00:50] Announcer
    That's three outs!
[00:59] int_Player
    Swing through, Takuya!
[01:02] @int_Miyuki
    The pitch that made him the ace.
[01:06] @int_Miyuki
    Essentially, their battery's lifeline.
[01:10] int_Watanabe
    Hiding behind the slider,
    their real ultimate pitch.
[01:15] int_Watanabe
    Here comes another forkball.
[01:22] Announcer
    It goes to left field!
[01:27] @int_Kuramochi
    Nice one, Haruichi!
[01:30] Announcer
    Seido High School is the
    first to step on home plate!
[01:34] Announcer
    There are still no outs,
    and runners are on first and second!
[01:37] Announcer
    Up to bat is Seido's power hitter!

    Seido
[03:26] _Both
    Pick a pitch!
[03:29] _Player
    Can the Kasuga First battery take him on?
[03:34] int_Player
    They have to. They must shut down
    the cleanup and get momentum on their side.
[03:40] _Umpire
    Ball!
[03:48] _All
    Pick a pitch!
[03:53] _Umpire
    Ball!
[03:56] Announcer
    He tries to paint the corner, but it misses
    the mark, and the count is three balls!
[04:00] Seto
    He's being too careful.
[04:02] Seto
    Or maybe he's just chicken.
[04:05] int_Player
    Outside, outside, outside...
[04:08] int_Player
    If the catcher keeps calling like a coward,
    it'll affect the pitcher.
[04:18] _Fan
    I guess they're giving up this batter.
[04:21] _Fan
    What choice do they have?
[04:27] _Umpire
    Ball four!
[04:29] Announcer
    Bases loaded!
[04:35] _Player
    Aren't you going to watch, Kosei?
[04:38] _Player
    I'll let you finish watching it, Takami.
[04:41] _Player
    I'm not interested in a battery
    that chickens out in a pinch.
[04:45] _Player
    And if their batters can't take
    advantage of this situation,
[04:47] _Player
    then they're nothing to worry about.
[05:17] _Player
    That's an RBI for you.
[05:19] @Maezono
    Yeah!
[05:24] int_Mogami
    I'm a powerhouse, I'm a powerhouse,
    I'm a powerhouse.
[05:41] Narrator
    The Seido batters gained
    momentum in the third inning.
[05:46] Narrator
    They scored again in the fourth inning,
    extending their lead to six runs.

    Now it's the top of the fifth inning.
[05:59] Narrator
    Having walked two batters and hit another,
    the bases are loaded with two outs.
[06:02] Narrator
    It's the biggest chance
    Kasuga has had this game.
[06:06] @Sawamura
    I'm sorry!
[06:08] @Kuramochi
    Shake it off!
[06:10] @Kominato
    Don't worry about it!
[06:12] @int_Miyuki
    It was too soon for that pitch.
[06:15] @int_Miyuki
    But it's important that he got
    to try it in an actual game.
[06:19] @int_Miyuki
    There will be games far tougher than this.
[06:24] @int_Miyuki
    If he can throw it then,
    only then will he have made it his own.
[06:31] @int_Miyuki
    Seido has a lot of growing to do.
[06:36] @int_Miyuki
    The bases are loaded,
    but there are two outs.
[06:40] @int_Miyuki
    Let's finish this up with a fastball.
[06:49] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[06:50] Narrator
    Three hits allowed, two walks,
    and seven strikeouts.
[06:56] Narrator
    No runs allowed in five innings.

[07:48] @int_Miyuki
    He's still not putting
    the ball where I want it,
[07:51] @int_Miyuki
    but he's not too far off.
[07:54] Ochiai
    His shoulder is still tense,
    but he's pitching well.
[08:00] @int_Sawamura
    That jerk. I've been trying
    all sorts of stuff this game,
[08:05] @int_Sawamura
    and he comes out and shuts everyone down.
[08:09] @int_Miyuki
    I guess we rolled a good day.
[08:13] @Kuramochi
    Two outs, Furuya!
[08:15] @Maezono
    Two outs!
[08:19] @int_Furuya
    That's not all.
[08:23] @int_Furuya
    I can do more.
[08:30] @int_Furuya

    More...
[08:59] Announcer
    Strike! Batter out!
[09:02] Announcer
    The batter swings and misses at a
    high fastball for strike three!
[09:13] @int_Miyuki
    He really has changed since Koshien Stadium.
[09:18] @int_Miyuki
    No... after the game against Komadai.
[09:27] @int_Miyuki
    Before that game, he bowed to his teammates
[09:30] @int_Miyuki
    and showed he understood
    the weight of being the ace.
[09:33] @int_Miyuki
    But after returning from Koshien Stadium,
[09:37] @int_Miyuki
    he seems to be obsessing
    over his pitching again.
[09:41] @int_Miyuki
    Will that change be for the better, or...
[09:45] @int_Furuya
    That felt good.
[09:53] @Sawamura
    Hey, Furuya, don't get a big head!
[09:55] @Sawamura
    They aren't going to let
    things end like this, either!

    You can't relax, no matter

[10:40] @Miyuki
    He wasn't timing the breaking balls,
    but he stuck with his swing all the way.

    He got his first home run
    in his first start.

    Just like his brother,

    Niogakusha's pitcher is good.
[12:23] @Kuramochi
    His pitches are fast.
[12:26] @Kuramochi
    The Ichidai batters are swinging late.
[12:29] _Player
    It's just...
[12:31] @Maezono
    On the other side, Kosei Amahisa...
[12:33] @Kuramochi
    He hasn't given up any runs,
    but he isn't at the top of his game.
[12:36] @Kuramochi
    He looks like his mind is elsewhere.
[12:38] Watanabe
    Yeah, he's usually a better player.
[12:41] Watanabe
    He hasn't thrown any sliders.
[12:44] @Miyuki
    The way things stand, the first team
    to score will have a big advantage.
[12:48] @Miyuki
    I want you two to watch closely.
[12:50] @Miyuki
    Will it be momentum,
[12:52] @Miyuki
    an error, or a bad judgment?
[12:56] @Miyuki
    See what decides the match.
[13:02] _Player
    Yeah!
[13:03] _Player
    Whoa, he's pitching inside a lot.
[13:08] @Miyuki
    He's showing no hesitation
    against the Ichidai batters.
[13:12] @Miyuki
    That look on his face reminds me of someone.
[13:17] @Miyuki
    But this is the second half of the game.
[13:20] @Miyuki
    How will the catcher call this?
[13:23] @Miyuki
    If he tries to rack up the count
    just because it was easy in the first half...
[13:32] @Miyuki
    The Ichidai batters will have adapted.

    Yep!
[13:47] @Sawamura
    And he's got that smug look on his face!
[13:50] @Miyuki
    Still, though, it may have been a fluke.
[13:54] @Miyuki
    If they don't give up any more runs,
    they still have a chance.
[14:08] @Miyuki
    Nice hit. That run must feel good.
[14:14] _Coach
    Go, go, boys!
[14:16] @Miyuki
    The most important part
    is what they do next.
[14:19] @Miyuki
    When a game that was at a
    stalemate starts moving,
[14:21] @Miyuki
    it's easy for the other team
    to give up runs, too.
[14:24] @Miyuki
    If Ichidai's defense is strong this inning,
    they'll have seized control of the game.
[14:36] int_Player
    Actually...
[14:43] int_Player
    One run would have been enough.
[14:52] @Kuramochi
    That guy's shifted into high gear.
[14:55] Narrator
    Niogakusha's batters fought
    hard to counterattack,
[14:59] Narrator
    but Kosei Amahisa's sliders
    struck out batter after batter.
[15:04] Narrator
    His perfect pitching resulted
    in Niogakusha never touching
[15:09] Narrator
    second base after the fifth inning.
[15:16] @Miyuki
    His slider is unbelievable.
[15:21] @Sawamura
    Wh-Why are you admiring him
    when we're about to play them?!
[15:24] @Furuya
    I didn't want to hear that.
[15:26] @Miyuki
    I just mean he's too good
    for a high schooler.
[15:29] _Fan
    Amahisa-san is crazy good!
[15:31] _Fan
    Can anyone hit that pitch?
[15:34] _Fan
    I guess it's the first time Seido
    will play Ichidai since last year.
[15:37] _Fan
    They didn't meet in the
    last two tournaments.
[15:39] _Fan
    The other game is Inashiro vs Teito.
[15:42] _Fan
    The semifinals are gonna be intense!
[15:44] _Fan
    I'd line up to see them!

    Well, Manaka-san wasn't
