[00:02] Um
    Let's go!
[00:04] UU
    Let's go!
[00:05] U1
    Nice pitch, Umemiya.
[00:08] U1
    You showed them a new
    breaking ball this late in the game.
[00:11] U1
    I'm sure it took them by surprise.
[00:14] Um
    Did you see Narumiya's face?
[00:19] Um
    I showed him.
[00:24] Na
    He laughed at me.
[00:26] Na
    That bastard.
[00:29] IC
    The opponent was one step ahead of us.
[00:37] IM
    C-Coach, what do you mean?
[00:41] IC
    We've had plenty of opportunities to score.
[00:44] IC
    "He just has his slow curve ball,
    so it'll be easy."
[00:49] IC
    "I'll score with a big hit."
SIGN    Ugumori Inashiro
[00:52] IC
    No matter how many excues you make,
    the score says it all.
[00:58] IC
    It's about time you woke up.
SIGN    Ugumori Inashiro
SIGN    Self-Destruction
[02:38] Um
    Safe!
SIGN    Top of the 8th
    No outs, runner on 1st
[02:46] I1
    Damn!
[02:47] I1
    You're still going to stand that far out?
[02:55] U1
    Nice!
[02:56] U1
    Smacked the first pitch! Nice hit!
[02:58] U2
    No outs and runners on first and second!
[03:01] U2
    This is our chance!
[03:03] S1
    They went for the first pitch.
[03:05] S1
    They knew a fastball was coming
    in order to prevent the steal.
[03:10] S1
    Ugumori's plays aren't just reckless.
    They're calculated.
SIGN    Inashiro Vocational High School has announced a change in players.
[03:22] C1
    Looks like Inashiro's making a move.
[03:24] C2
    Yeah, 'cause Ugumori's three-hole is up next.
SIGN    Replacing Hirano-kun as pitcher
SIGN    is Narumiya-kun.
SIGN    Batting fifth and pitcher, Narumiya-kun.
SIGN    Sugi-kun will be going to left field.
SIGN    Batting ninth and left fielder, Sugi-kun.
SIGN    That is all.
[03:48] C1
    We finally get to see the pitcher
    who got second at nationals.
[03:52] C2
    It's his first time pitching
    in the fall tournament.
[03:56] C3
    I bet a lot of people came just to see him.
[04:00] I1
    Nice pitch, Hirano.
[04:01] I1
    You didn't give up a run. Great job!
[04:04] IM
    Let's go!
[04:07] IM
    He's using Narumiya here?
[04:09] IM
    So the coach said those things
    to keep their spirits up.
[04:13] IC
    It's been a month and a half
    since this team came together.
[04:18] IC
    And one major problem
    has already shown itself.
[04:23] IC
    The lack of Harada, who was the center of both defense and offense.
[04:28] IC
    The lack of a team leader.
[04:31] IC
    No matter how many good players we have,
[04:34] IC
    everyone's just playing for himself.
[04:37] IC
    Fukui's doing a good job
    supporting from the side,
[04:41] IC
    but I can't expect him to keep
    the self-centered players in check.
[04:47] IC
    Whether or not he wants to,
[04:50] IC
    he must become the leader of this team.
[05:00] I1
    I can't imagine these guys bunting.
[05:03] I1
    I think he'll swing for the first pitch, Mei-san.
[05:18] U1
    A slider.
[05:23] U1
    A fastball to the inside?
[05:26] U2
    Wow! We're already cornered.
[05:34] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[05:36] C1
    A high ball bait!
[05:38] C1
    A three-pitch strike out!
[05:39] C2
    He's going all out!
[05:42] U1
    He's looking sharp.
[05:48] C1
    Runners on first and second,
    but he managed to get an out.
[05:52] C2
    Narumiya's good.
[05:54] C3
    Mei-kun!
[06:04] C4
    Mei-kun!
[06:09] U1
    Ume-chan, let's go!
[06:10] U2
    Something'll happen if you hit!
[06:14] S1
    Ugumori's ace and cleanup,
    Seiichi Umemiya.
[06:18] S1
    How will he bat against Narumiya?
[06:21] C1
    Being offensive is good,
    but they should've bunted there.
[06:27] C2
    Against Inashiro, this might be
    the only chance they get.
[06:45] C1
    Wow!
[06:46] C1
    A fastball to the outside.
[06:48] Um
    Wow!
[06:49] Um
    That didn't slow down.
[06:51] Um
    So that's a real fastball!
[06:53] S1
    I doubt the catcher liked
    how the batter swung.
[06:58] I1
    He didn't hesitate when he stepped in.
[07:00] I1
    Is he aiming for the fastball?
[07:03] Na
    He can't hit my pitch with a swing that big.
[07:12] U1
    A steal!
[07:16] U2
    Here?
[07:18] Um
    Safe!
[07:20] C1
    Wow! He made it!
[07:22] C2
    By himself?
[07:23] C1
    They apply pressure well with their running.
[07:25] C2
    Who actually does that?
[07:30] Um
    Nicely done, Gacchan!
[07:32] Um
    That's what you call a real steal!
[07:37] U1
    Good. A runner on first and third.
[07:39] U1
    This is an easier way to pressure them,
[07:42] U1
    and they'll be more cautious.
[07:45] C1
    Inashiro called a time out.
[07:48] C2
    They're sending a messenger.
[07:49] Na
    You guys don't need to come!
[07:51] I1
    Let's just check the field positions.
SIGN    Ugumori Inashiro
[07:54] I1
    Infield, defend in.
[07:56] I1
    They'll run even on a grounder.
[07:59] I1
    So make sure you get the out
    at the plate.
[08:01] I1
    Got it?
[08:02] Na
    I guess it's your job as the captain.
[08:06] I2
    Mei-san.
[08:08] I2
    We don't know what they'll do.
[08:12] I2
    If it looks like they're
    making a squeeze play,
[08:14] I2
    then throw it wide.
[08:16] I2
    I'll catch it with my life.
[08:20] Na
    I think you're too worried
    about the runner.
[08:23] Na
    I just need to get
    two more batters out.
[08:28] Na
    Whether they try to squeeze bunt or hit,
[08:30] Na
    they won't be able to touch my pitch.
[08:35] I1
    Mei.
[08:36] Na
    Now, get out of here!
[08:38] Na
    Fuku-chan, tell the coach
    to just sit back and watch!
SIGN    Ugumori Inashiro
[08:45] C1
    If the runner on third scores,
    the game will be tied.
[08:48] C2
    If the runner on first scores, too,
    Ugumori will take the lead.
[08:59] C3
    The infield's pressuring
    the batter by defending in.
[09:03] C3
    They're not trying to go
    for a double play, huh?
[09:06] C3
    Did they leave the runner
    on first on purpose?
[09:09] C4
    This team might try to make a delayed
    steal baiting with a squeeze play.
[09:14] IM
    Narumiya seems to have
    his head in the game.
[09:29] Um
    A foul?
[09:31] Fu
    You're doing well!
[09:32] Fu
    You've cornered him, Mei!
[09:35] U1
    Ume-chan, nice swing!
[09:36] U1
    Keep it up!
[09:38] Na
    Oh.
[09:40] Na
    You still haven't run?
[09:46] C1
    A slider to the inside.
[09:49] C2
    He swings big!
[09:51] C3
    Even though he's cornered?
[09:53] C3
    Better pray he doesn't hit fair!
[09:56] S1
    The count is 1-2.
[09:58] S1
    It's in favor of the pitcher.
[10:00] S1
    What will they finish with?
[10:04] U1
    We showed him both outside
    and inside fastballs.
[10:09] U1
    There's a runner on third,
[10:11] U1
    but I'll get him out, no matter what.
[10:15] U1
    Let's finish him off
[10:17] U1
    with a low changeup.
[10:26] U1
    Then a forkball.
[10:33] Um
    What's wrong?
[10:34] Um
    Hurry it up, man.
[10:36] Um
    There's nothing in the world
    I hate more than waiting!
[10:40] C1
    They can't agree on the pitch?
[10:43] C2
    But they have the upper hand.
[10:46] U1
    I have no second thoughts.
[10:48] U1
    There's only one thing we can do.
[10:53] Na
    Don't worry, Itsuki.
[10:56] Na
    We can force our way with a fastball.
[11:00] Na
    Leave it to me.
[11:04] (Flashback) I1
    Mei-san, can I get a change-up next?
[11:07] (Flashback) I1
    Preferably low.
[11:09] (Flashback) Na
    Sure, but can you catch it?
[11:14] I1
    Mei-san.
[11:18] Na
    An ace leads the team to victory.
[11:23] Na
    With Masa-san gone,
    I have to lead the team,
[11:29] Na
    or we can't win!
[11:36] Na
    Leave it to me.
[11:40] Na
    An ace leads the team to victory.
[11:45] Na
    With Masa-san gone,
    I have to lead the team,
[11:51] Na
    or we can't win!
[11:54] Um
    If he throws a breaking ball,
[11:56] Um
    there's no way I can hit it.
[11:59] Um
    Give me a fastball!
[12:02] Um
    Right on!
[12:16] U1
    Right between right and center!
[12:19] C1
    Runner on third scores!
[12:22] Ca
    I got it!
[12:27] Um
    Go all the way, Jimmy!
[12:28] Um
    This is our Okehazama!
[12:31] C1
    Runner on first just passed third!
[12:35] C2
    Infield to catcher!
[12:37] C2
    This is gonna be close!
[12:41] (Flashback) U1
    You didn't touch me there, did you?
[12:59] Um
    Safe!
[13:04] C1
    Two runners scored!
[13:05] U1
    The comeback!
[13:09] U2
    All right!
[13:13] U3
    Let's go!
[13:16] U4
    Nice hit.
[13:19] C1
    Wow!
[13:20] C1
    He got an RBI double off Narumiya!
[13:33] C2
    Ugumori scored off Narumiya!
[13:41] IM
    He pitched all fastballs.
[13:43] IM
    Why didn't he pitch a breaking ball?
[13:51] Na
    Itsuki.
[13:54] Na
    The ball.
[13:55] I1
    Oh, right.
[14:07] IC
    Takahashi, go warm up.
[14:10] IC
    Right now.

    Nice game, Seido!

    How'd it feel to be a starter?
[14:33] Ka
    Felt really good!
[14:35] C1
    Zono! Good luck tomorrow.
[14:39] Mi
    We've made this far, according to plan.
[14:41] Ku
    Yeah, and now for the real deal.
[14:45] Mi
    Payback against Inashiro.
[14:48] Mi
    If we can't win tomorrow, it's all over.
[14:55] Ot
    Save it, Furuya!
[14:57] Ot
    Save it for tomorrow!
[14:59] S1
    Sawamura, nice pitch.
[15:00] S1
    Pure luck.

    Huh?
[15:02] S2
    Good job.
[15:03] S2
    Nice fluke.
[15:04] ---
    Oh?
[15:06] Sa
    Th-Thank you!
[15:10] Sa
    What's the matter, Sergeant?
[15:12] Sa
    If you want to join the circle,
[15:13] Sa
    don't stand there on the side. Come closer!
[15:16] Oc
    No, I don't really care.
[15:20] Oc
    I was just thinking you're weird.
[15:24] Oc
    I thought you were afraid
    to pitch to the inside?
[15:27] Oc
    How did you suddenly pitch there?
[15:31] Sa
    H-How?
[15:35] Sa
    It's still scary to pitch to the inside.
[15:41] Sa
    But being unable to pitch like
    I want to and walking away
[15:46] Sa
    is even scarier.
[15:55] Sa
    Being afraid...
[15:59] Sa
    ...and losing myself.
[16:03] Sa
    Even if that was the best I could do then,
[16:08] Sa
    I don't want to go through
    the same feelings again.
[16:14] Sa
    Otherwise, why do I practice
    like mad every day?
[16:22] (Flashback) Sa
    We're practicing because
    we don't want to lose.
[16:25] (Flashback) Sa
    We can't complain about
     the weather or being tired.
[16:29] Oc
    I see.
[16:31] Oc
    I suppose being frantic and
    single-minded is a natural talent.
[16:36] Oc
    There's no sure-fire cure to the yips,
[16:40] Oc
    but practicing hard
    to create a solid foundation
[16:45] Oc
    and regaining confidence is,
    often times, the fastest cure.
[16:51] Oc
    By gaining confidence in his outside pitches,
[16:54] Oc
    he became able to pitch to the inside.
[16:59] Sa
    I think if I can pitch tomorrow,
[17:01] Sa
    I'll do an even better job!
[17:04] Sa
    High schoolers these days grow up super fast!
[17:06] Fu
    Let me pitch tomorrow.
[17:08] S1
    He sells himself so well.
[17:11] Mi
    It all started with that hit by pitch.
[17:27] Mi
    He might be looking forward
    to the payback opportunity
[17:31] Mi
    more than any of us here.
[17:35] S1
    I wonder if they're done, too.

    For putting you on the mound.
[20:02] IC
    Tadano is still nowhere
    near Harada's level.
[20:06] IC
    However, he's always thinking hard
    about the pitching combinations

[20:17] IC
    Other players followed your lead
