[00:00] S1
    Let's go, cleanup!
[00:01] S2
    Need a run here!
[00:05] Mi
    He has really good control.
[00:08] R1
    His timing's still off.
[00:11] R2
    Inashiro's batters struggled against him.
[00:14] R2
    He uses his fast and slow
    pitches really well.
[00:19] R2
    Not to mention,
[00:21] R2
    he still has another pitch up his sleeve.
[00:26] Um
    Foul!
[00:27] U3
    Ume-chan, finish it!
[00:31] Um
    Damn.
[00:32] Um
    No matter where I pitch...
[00:35] Um
    Ball.
[00:36] S1
    Yes! Nice one!
[00:39] Um
    Shoot, it slipped a bit.
[00:41] Um
    Full count now.
[00:43] Mi
    We're three runs behind.
[00:46] Mi
    As the cleanup, I can't go down
    without putting up a fight.
[00:52] Mi
    Or the entire team
[00:54] Mi
    will think this pitcher is hard to face.
[01:05] Ku
    Miyuki.
[01:07] Ku
    I don't care about this captain
    and vice captain stuff,
[01:10] Ku
    but as players who play on the field,
[01:13] Ku
    we can prove ourselves
    through how we play.
[01:22] Ku
    In order to relieve the
    tension in the team,
[01:26] Ku
    you have to get a hit.
[01:31] Na
    I'm sure they watched
    our game against Inashiro.
[01:37] Um
    Guess there's no point in holding back.
[01:41] Um
    I should
[01:42] Um
    take him out with my full strength.
[01:50] Um
    I'll end it
[01:55] Um
    with my power curveball!
[02:04] Mi
    The slider?
SIGN    Persistent and Diligent
[03:44] Um
    Guess there's no point in holding back.
[03:48] Um
    I should
[03:49] Um
    take him out with my full strength.
[03:55] Um
    I'll end it
[03:57] Um
    with my power curveball!
[04:03] Mi
    The slider?
[04:19] S1
    Nice! Straight through center!
[04:21] S2
    Go! Go!
[04:24] S3
    Yeah!
[04:26] S3
    Second base runner scores!
[04:27] S3
    Time for a comeback!
[04:31] Sa
    That's how you do it!
[04:33] Sa
    About time you learned!
[04:35] Ku
    You're next, Zono!
[04:39] Um
    Damn.
[04:40] Um
    He reacted well.
[04:43] Mi
    It was a lot sharper than I expected.
[04:46] Mi
    I owe Nabe for getting it
    on video yesterday.
[04:50] R1
    It looked like he reacted quickly
     to an unexpected pitch.
[04:54] R2
    He smacked the other team's ace's best pitch.
[04:57] R2
    That's how a cleanup should bat.
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[05:00] R2
    The wind that was blowing in
    Ugumori's favor is gone now.
[05:05] Sa
    Ye—
[05:06] Ot
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[05:07] Ot
    Yes! Yes!
[05:09] Sa
    You took my line!
[05:11] S1
    Let's go, Zono!
[05:17] Ma
    He got a hit under immense pressure,
[05:19] Ma
    and got Furuya back into the game
    with one word on the field.
[05:25] Ma
    I have to admit it.
[05:27] Ma
    He's head and shoulders
    above the rest of us.
[05:37] Ma
    But that's the reason.
[05:39] Ma
    It's because he's such an amazing player...
[05:46] Ma
    ...that I got so pissed.
[05:51] Na
    Going deep into left field!
[05:54] S1
    Miyuki, run for it!
[05:55] S2
    Two RBIs in a row!
[05:58] Ma
    Let's go!
[06:00] R1
    So many runs in just the first inning.
[06:04] R2
    Both teams' cleanups did their jobs well.
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[06:15] Um
    Out!
[06:16] Ug
    Let's go!
[06:20] Fu
    That change of pace.
[06:22] S1
    Just one run short now!
[06:23] S2
    Nice job, Zono!
[06:25] S3
    That was the legendary Zono Double!
[06:28] Mi
    Zono.
[06:51] Ma
    I owe it to you for smacking his slider.
[06:54] Ma
    I could see his fastball coming.
[06:57] Ma
    We may all hold different values,
[07:00] Ma
    but we're all playing the same game.
[07:03] Ma
    We want to win the fall tournament
    and take the coach to nationals.
[07:07] Ma
    That's one goal we all have in common.
[07:11] Mi
    This inning's important!
[07:14] Mi
    Let's defend well and get back to offense.
[07:17] Ma
    Furuya, one out at a time!
[07:19] To
    See? There wasn't a problem.
[07:21] Ka
    Yeah.
[07:23] Sa
    Time to prepare for the worst!
SIGN    Fierce
[07:25] Sa
    Amateurs don't have slumps!
[07:27] Sa
    No matter how well you do,
    you're all still just amateurs!
[07:29] Sa
    Amateurs!
[07:31] Sa
    Don't try to do what you can't do!
[07:33] Sa
    Just do what you can, the best you can!
[07:35] SS
    Shut up!
[07:36] Ku
    You're ruining the atmosphere!
[07:37] Ka
    You read Nomu-san's book
    yesterday, didn't you?
[07:40] Sa
    Run out there with energy, boys!
[07:43] I1
    I was worried after Furuya
    gave up the home run,
[07:47] I1
    but the team looks pretty calm.
[07:50] I1
    It must be because of Miyuki's RBI.
[07:53] I1
    It fueled the fire to fight back.
[07:58] I2
    After Furuya gave up the home run,
    what did he tell him?
[08:03] I2
    That's what I want to know.
[08:30] (Flashback) IC
    Fukui.
[08:31] (Flashback) IC
    Take Tadano to watch
    the game at Edogawa.
[08:36] (Flashback) I1
    The Seido vs. Ugumori game?
[08:38] (Flashback) IC
    It's not exactly pleasing to watch
    the game you wanted to play,
[08:43] (Flashback) IC
    but you'll learn a lot.
[08:47] I1
    Maybe the coach wanted
[08:48] I1
    to show Tadano how Miyuki plays
    not just this one game.
[08:54] I1
    Let's just see how the game will play out.
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[09:02] U1
    Let's go, Ume-chan!
[09:03] U2
    Come on!
[09:07] S1
    Nice pitch!
[09:35] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[09:38] Ma
    Nice, Furuya!
[09:40] Ha
    Nice pitch!
[09:42] R1
    The Seido battery pitched a lot of splitters.
[09:46] R2
    He smacked a fastball over the fence
    the last time he was up to bat.
[09:51] Mi
    I hope that made him think
    about breaking balls.
[10:05] U1
    Nice try, Ume-chan!
[10:07] U1
    You can't hit 'em all!
[10:08] U2
    Good try, Ume-chan!
[10:10] U3
    Feel better, Ume-chan!
[10:11] Um
    You don't need to cheer me up!
[10:13] Na
    Seido saw how Inashiro lost,
    so they're being cautious.
[10:18] Na
    We should forget
    about the lead we have.
[10:21] Um
    It's never been on my mind.
[10:25] Um
    A challenger can't take the belt
    if he goes on the defensive.
[10:39] S1
    Come on!
[10:42] S1
    Go all the way!
[10:49] S2
    It's gone!
[10:50] S3
    A two-run homer into
    the right field!
[10:53] Na
    W-Wow!
[10:56] Ma
    Damn.
[10:58] [SONG] On-screen
    Missed it
[11:01] S1
    That's his third run this game!
[11:04] S2
    What a catcher,
    to pay back the pitcher's debt!
[11:17] [SONG] On-screen
    Edogawa City Stadium
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[11:55] S1
    Nice! Sixth run!
[11:57] S2
    Our batters are on fire!
[11:59] Ma
    Let's go!
[12:01] Sa
    Are you an Aries, Zono-san?
[12:04] Sa
    They have the best luck today!
[12:06] Sa
    Your lucky item is a rubber hose!
[12:08] S1
    Nice hit!
[12:10] Oc
    Who is that?
[12:11] S1
    Zono!
[12:12] S2
    Nice one, Zono!
[12:18] R1
    Umemiya-kun pitched an entire game
    against Inashiro yesterday,
[12:22] R1
    so maybe he's fatigued from that game.
[12:26] C1
    It's become rather one-sided.
[12:28] C2
    I thought they had
    better batters last year,
[12:31] C2
    but they're really good.
[12:33] C1
    I wish I could've seen
    a Seido vs. Inashiro game.
[12:38] C2
    Totally.
[12:43] R1
    What's wrong, pompadour?
[12:46] R1
    Already knocked out?
SIGN    Batting sixth and pitcher, Furuya-kun.
[12:54] S1
    Furuya!
[12:55] S2
    Hit it, Furuya!
[12:57] Mi
    Furuya, this is where you
    deal the finishing blow.
[13:11] S1
    Second!
[13:13] Um
    I'll cover!
[13:14] Um
    Leave it to me!
[13:17] Um
    We won't lose.
[13:24] Um
    Out!
[13:26] U1
    Nice double play!
[13:28] Um
    Let's go!
[13:29] UU
    Let's go!
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[13:57] Um
    Ball!
[13:58] U1
    Nice pass!
[14:00] R2
    They're persistent.
[14:01] R1
    Yes.
[14:03] R1
    Furuya-kun's been forced
    to pitch a lot from the beginning.
[14:07] Mi
    They're making it harder
    by not swining at the low pitches.
[14:13] Mi
    But you're pitching well.
[14:16] Mi
    Don't lose focus.
[14:27] U1
    Into right field!
[14:29] U2
    Nice hit!
[14:30] U3
    We have a man on first now!
[14:46] Sa
    Steal!
[14:53] Um
    Out!
[14:57] S1
    Another steal attempt foiled!
[14:59] S2
    Nice one, Miyuki!
[15:04] S3
    You won't steal that easily!
[15:06] S3
    Not against this guy!
[15:14] C1
    It's not the best idea
    to steal while he's catching.
[15:20] R1
    I commend them for trying,
[15:23] R1
    but aren't they forcing it a bit?
[15:26] R2
    Yeah.
[15:29] R2
    This offensive strategy
    raises morale when it works,
[15:34] R2
    but it can be devastating when it fails.
[15:38] R1
    Especially as the game progresses,
    these plays become detrimental.
[15:45] U1
    Your start was pretty good.
[15:47] U2
    Damn it.
[15:48] U3
    Only the start, though.
[15:50] U2
    Shut up!
[15:51] R2
    But why does Ugumori look so cheerful?
[15:56] U1
    Nishi-yan, you've got this!
[15:58] Um
    Hit the first pitch!
SIGN    Warming Up Every Inning
[16:00] Sa
    We can't relax yet.
[16:02] Sa
    He doesn't have stamina.
[16:34] S1
    Wow!
[16:34] S1
    The runner couldn't get back!
[16:36] S2
    Nice double play!
[16:38] Ka
    Nice pitch, Furuya!
[16:40] To
    Nice pitch!
[16:43] R1
    Ugumori got runners on base,
[16:46] R1
    but couldn't score again.
[16:49] R1
    Furuya-kun hasn't allowed
    a run since the first inning,
[16:54] R1
    so it looks like he's already recovered.
[16:56] Ma
    Furuya, nice pitch!
[16:58] Mi
    He's still throwing well,
    but his pitch count is over 100 now.
[17:02] Mi
    We should think about
    switching him out soon.
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[17:11] U1
    Ume-chan, two outs!
[17:13] U2
    Two outs!
[17:19] R1
    Bottom of the sixth,
[17:20] R1
    two outs and bases loaded
    from hits and errors.
[17:23] R1
    And Kominato-kun's up to bat.
[17:27] R1
    Seido could score again.
[17:30] Sa
    This is where you become a man!
[17:33] Sa
    From Haruichi to Haruo!
[17:36] Ha
    Haruo?
[17:38] S1
    Let's go, Kominato!
[17:47] Ha
    He laughed?
[17:48] U1
    Between first and second!
[17:54] U2
    All right! Three outs!
[17:57] U3
    Nice defense!
[17:58] U3
    It's not over yet!
[18:00] R1
    That was magnificent.
[18:02] R2
    Yeah.
[18:03] R2
    Any more runs would've ended the game.
[18:06] Sa
    What's wrong, first-years?
[18:07] Sa
    You're all dead weight!
[18:11] Um
    Nice one, Mako-chan!
     You really came through!
[18:14] Um
    Man, these batters are so persistent,
    I'm getting tired.
[18:18] U1
    They don't swing at any balls.
[18:21] U2
    And they all swing compactly.
[18:23] U3
    Yeah.
[18:28] Um
    But I have to say,
[18:29] Um
    playing against strong opponents is fun.
[18:33] Um
    It's so stimulating and suspenseful.
[18:39] Na
    There's nothing to worry about
    if you're enjoying this game.
[18:45] Um
    We have three more innings!
[18:46] Um
    Let's score and score
    and score and score!
[18:49] UU
    Yeah!
SIGN    Ugumori Seido
[19:01] Um
    Safe!
[19:04] U1
    Nice!
[19:05] U2
    Our lead-off man's fast, too!
[19:09] Ku
    Damn.
[19:16] R1
    You think he'll steal?
[19:19] R2
    I don't know.
[19:21] R2
    Miyuki-kun's been getting...
[19:28] C1
    He's going!
[19:40] Um
    Safe!
[19:44] Um
    It's the top of the seventh!
[19:46] Um
    It's time for payback!
[19:47] Um
    Come on!
[19:48] U1
    Yeah!
[19:49] U2
    Let's do this!
[20:03] Sa
    It looks like my time has come!
[20:05] Sa
    Give me a second!
[20:10] Fu
    Pitch low and carefully.
[20:29] Fu
    Into that mitt.
[20:38] S1
    Yeah!
[20:40] Um
    Out!
[20:41] S1
    Got him!
[20:45] Um
    Strike!
[20:46] S1
    Nice pitch, Furuya!
[20:48] S2
    Nice pitch!
[20:54] Mi
    He's relaxed and swinging
    his arm down all the way.
[21:00] Mi
    Are his pitches getting better?
[21:07] R1
    I wonder if Furuya-kun has switched
    to pitching to contact.
[21:13] R1
    He's pitching low strikes consistently,
[21:16] R1
    so the Ugumori batters
    are forced to swing.
[21:20] R2
    It looks like he's pitching
    very carefully rather than all out.
[21:25] Na
    This is troubling.
[21:27] Na
    He's a lot more persistent than I thought.
[21:34] Na
    I thought he'd break down by now.
[21:43] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[21:47] S1
    The ace Furuya is persistent and diligent!
[21:50] S1
    He's not fazed by the pinch at all!
[21:55] S2
    Nice pitch, Furuya!
[21:57] S3
    Nice pitch!
[23:31] Mi
    The end of the game is approaching.
[23:32] Mi
    Furuya just might pitch till the end.
[23:34] Mi
    But why are they so cheerful
    despite being down in runs?
[23:37] Sa
    Wh-What's with the crowd's reaction?
[23:40] Mi
    We're being engulfed by something
    outside of our control.
[23:44] Sa
    This is bad!
[23:46] Sa
    Furuya, switch out!
[23:47] Sa
    Switch right now!
[23:48] Mi
