**[00:00] C3**
He's sliding for first!
**[00:04] Um**
Safe!
**[00:10] R2**
Four hits in a row since Umemiya-kun.
**[00:14] C4**
Make it even crazier!
**[00:17] C5**
Seido's starting to lose their cool.
**[00:21] C6**
Run wild, Ugumori!
**[00:23] R1**
The crowd's completely
on Ugumori's side.
**[00:26] R2**
Yeah.
**[00:27] R2**
They want to see another
upset like yesterday.
**[00:28] C1**
Ugumori!
**[00:31] C2**
Ugumori!
**[00:32] U1**
We have momentum, Mako-chan!
**[00:34] U2**
Just swing and pray!
**[00:36] U2**
Something will happen
if you make contact!
**[00:39] U3**
*I think everyone feels the same,*
**[00:44] U3**
* but no matter how*
* many runs we're down,*
**[00:44] C4**
Ugumori!
**[00:46] U3**
*we're not going to just lose.*
**[00:46] C5**
Turn it around!
**[00:49] C1**
Ugumori!
**[00:52] Um**
Let's go!
**[00:55] U3**
* With Nao-kun and*
* Ume-chan on our team,*
**[00:59] U3**
*we can make something happen.*
***SIGN*** Shut Him Down!!
**[02:35] C1**
Ugumori!
**[02:36] C2**
Don't give up, Ugumori!
**[02:38] C3**
Ugumori!
**[02:38] C2**
Make it even crazier!
**[02:40] C5**
Go wild, Ugumori!
**[02:46] Ka**
Yes! We can get a double off that!
**[02:50] S1**
A bad bounce!
**[02:53] UU**
Let's go!
**[02:55] Um**
Safe!
**[02:57] C1**
Bases loaded with no outs!
***SIGN*** Ugumori Seido
**[02:59] C2**
That's the tying runner.
**[03:02] C3**
Three more runs.
**[03:03] C3**
This is getting interesting.
**[03:06] Um**
Keep it up!
**[03:08] U1**
Yeah!
**[03:09] C1**
It would've been a double play
without that bounce.
**[03:13] C2**
It's tough on the pitcher
when one out feels so far away.
**[03:17] C3**
This team has something special.
**[03:20] C4**
Yeah, they've got momentum.
***SIGN*** murmur
***SIGN*** murmur
**[03:22] C5**
They might actually pull it off.
**[03:25] Sa**
Stop murmuring!
**[03:28] R1**
This is a difficult situation
to switch pitchers, too.
**[03:42] C1**
They're moving in?
**[03:44] C2**
They're trying to get the out at the plate!
**[03:47] R1**
They were aiming for a double play earlier.
**[03:51] R1**
Is it because their lead has shrunk?
**[03:55] R2**
It's not about how big their lead is.
**[03:59] R2**
It's about facing Ugumori's
momentum head on.
**[04:04] R2**
Their coach has decided
to take a very offensive stance.
**[04:19] C1**
Starting off with the splitter!
**[04:20] C3**
They don't care about
the third-base runner!
**[04:24] C2**
The pitcher's being very aggressive.
**[04:30] C3**
A fastball is next!
**[04:33] Ma**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[04:34] Ku**
You've got him cornered!
**[04:36] Na**
*Looks like they've figured out*
**[04:39] Na**
*what pitch we're going after.*
**[04:46] Mi**
* The tougher the situation,*
* the more offensive we need to be.*
**[04:56] C1**
An out at the plate!
**[04:59] R2**
*This is how a strong team plays.*
**[05:02] C1**
The shortstop picked that up really well.
**[05:05] C1**
It's like he wasn't nervous at all.
**[05:06] Ha**
One out!
**[05:09] Sa**
His legs and fielding are top notch!
**[05:11] Sa**
That's our shortstop, Kuramochi!
**[05:12] Sa**
Everyone, do remember his name!
**[05:15] Ka**
Who are you talking to?
**[05:17] R1**
Impressive. They were calm.
**[05:20] R2**
Yeah.
**[05:21] R2**
They pressured the batter well.
**[05:25] R2**
But it's back to the top of their lineup.
**[05:28] R2**
Ugumori still has a big chance here.
**[05:31] U1**
Gacchan, let's do it!
**[05:39] R1**
The second baseman and shortstop backed up?
**[05:42] R2**
They're going after the outs they can get.
**[05:47] Na**
*They shift based on the situation.*
**[05:49] Um**
They're so disgustingly calm.
**[05:53] C1**
Do they think they're
the champs or something?
**[05:56] C1**
Pisses me off.
**[05:58] Ku**
* He's a fast runner, but it'll*
* be nice if we can get a double play.*
**[06:03] Ha**
*I couldn't react to the bad bounce earlier.*
**[06:05] Ha**
*I need to stop everything that comes.*
**[06:08] U1**
His control has gotten worse!
**[06:10] U2**
You know what to go for!
**[06:17] S1**
Stay strong, Furuya!
**[06:18] S2**
He's coming at your first pitch!
**[06:20] S3**
Get him, Furuya!
**[06:22] U1**
Get it, Gacchan!
**[06:29] C1**
He swung at the first pitch!
**[06:32] Ma**
Nice pitch!
**[06:33] Ku**
Good one!
**[06:36] Mi**
*He's pitching well.*
***SIGN*** Ugumori Seido
**[06:38] Mi**
*He gave up some hits and runs,*
**[06:41] Mi**
* but he's remaining cool*
* and pitching like usual.*
**[06:47] Sa**
One out!
**[06:50] Mi**
*That idiot isn't the only one.*
**[06:53] Mi**
*You're getting better,*
**[06:55] Mi**
*too.*
**[07:00] Um**
Ball!
**[07:02] U1**
Good eye, Gacchan!
**[07:04] U2**
Good eye!
**[07:05] U1**
The count's 1-1!
**[07:07] U3**
Stay focused!

Baseball Team Room
**[07:12] (Flashback) Ga**
Left-handed?
**[07:14] (Flashback) Na**
You're a fast runner,
**[07:16] (Flashback) Na**
so you should stand
as close to first base as possible.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Na**
Even 30% of Ichiro's hits
**[07:24] (Flashback) Na**
come from infield grounders.
**[07:27] (Flashback) Na**
However, if you're going
to switch to batting left,
**[07:31] (Flashback) Na**
you'll have to swing double
the amount as everyone else.
**[07:34] Ga**
*Can't say no to that merciless smile.*
**[07:36] (Flashback) Na**
You can do it, can't you?
**[07:37] (Flashback) Na**
You will, won't you?
**[07:41] Ga**
* Nao-kun has high expectations*
* for every single one of us.*
**[07:45] (Flashback) Na**
Kota,
**[07:47] (Flashback) Na**
you have batting talent.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Na**
If you swing a lot every day,
**[07:52] (Flashback) Na**
you'll be a strong batter on the team.
**[07:55] (Flashback) Na**
Ari, you practice swinging
at home, too. Don't you?
**[07:58] (Flashback) Na**
That kind of extra practice
might save the team one day.
**[08:03] Ga**
* And everyone's trying*
* to live up to it.*
**[08:12] Ga**
* It's honestly difficult*
* when the bar is set so high,*
**[08:16] Ga**
*but...*
**[08:17] Ga**
* I genuinely enjoy the team's*
* expectations of me.*
**[08:27] Ga**
*That's all I need to swing every day.*
**[08:39] Sa**
This is it!
**[08:40] Sa**
If you don't defend here, it's over!
**[08:43] Sa**
Take him down like you usually do!
**[08:44] Sa**
Go all out!
**[08:51] (Flashback) Sa**
Hey.
**[08:57] (Flashback) Sa**
Why are you pitching so economically?
**[09:00] (Flashback) Sa**
It's not like you.
**[09:02] Sa**
*Relax my body, then focus on my fingertips!*
**[09:06] Fu**
* It's not like you don't get*
* creative with your pitching.*
**[09:11] Fu**
*Relax and don't get tense.*
**[09:14] Fu**
*Right into that mitt.*
**[09:18] Fu**
*I'm not giving up.*
**[09:20] Fu**
*This mound...*
**[09:23] Fu**
*...is mine.*
**[09:25] Ga**
* I want to live up to*
* Nao-kun's expectations.*
**[09:32] Um**
Strike!
**[09:33] S1**
Yeah!
**[09:34] S2**
Nice one, Furuya!
You've got him cornered!
**[09:36] Um**
Your timing's right!
**[09:38] U1**
You've got this, Gacchan!
**[09:44] Um**
Ball!
**[09:47] U1**
The count's 2-2!
**[09:49] S1**
Nice pitch!
**[09:50] S2**
Stay calm, Furuya!
**[09:53] Mi**
*Your arm swing is good.*
**[09:54] Mi**
*Get aggressive!*
**[09:56] Ga**
*His speed has definitely gone down.*
**[09:59] Ga**
*I don't feel as much pressure as before.*
**[10:03] U1**
* With Gacchan's run,*
* he won't allow a double play.*
**[10:07] U1**
*So I need to run for the next base.*
**[10:11] Ha**
Get the closest man out!
**[10:12] S1**
We can stop it!
**[10:13] Ma**
We've got your back, Furuya!
**[10:23] Ga**
*Come on!*
**[10:40] C1**
He stopped it!
**[10:41] C1**
Kominato the second baseman!
**[10:44] Ku**
*We've got this!*
**[10:46] KH**
*With that...*
**[10:48] Ku**
*We can get a double play!*
**[10:49] Ha**
*For sure!*
**[11:00] Ku**
*That's not...*
**[11:01] Ku**
*...fast enough!*
**[11:19] Um**
Safe!
**[11:21] C1**
Not a double play!
**[11:23] Ga**
*Got it.*
**[11:25] Mi**
Home!
**[11:43] Um**
Safe!
**[11:53] C1**
A second run while Seido
tried to get a double play!
**[11:58] C2**
They're just one run short now!
**[12:00] UU**
Let's go!
**[12:03] C3**
This team's unstoppable!
**[12:14] C1**
What's going on?
**[12:16] C2**
Two runs from an infield grounder?
**[12:19] C3**
Seido's defense is being toyed with!
**[12:22] C4**
Ugumori's looking good!
**[12:24] C5**
They went from five runs
down to just one run!
**[12:27] C6**
I think they might pull it off!
**[12:30] C7**
They have something special!
**[12:31] C5**
Take Seido out, too!
**[12:36] Ot**
Kawakami!
**[12:38] Ha**
Are you okay?
**[12:41] Ma**
I got nervous. Sorry!
**[12:44] S1**
*We're away here.*
**[12:47] Mi**
*Their high-risk plays all went their way.*
**[12:52] Mi**
*A team like this doesn't follow logic.*
**[12:56] Mi**
*They have unfathomable power.*
**[12:59] Mi**
*As if the team itself has a will.*
**[13:05] (Flashback) Ku**
On that day, Ugumori was stronger.
**[13:09] (Flashback) Mi**
Let's take the wind out of Ugumori's sails.
**[13:14] Mi**
*It's not that I underestimated them,*
**[13:17] Mi**
*but at this rate, we're goners,*
**[13:21] Mi**
*and the crowd is against us.*
**[13:25] CC**
Ugumori! Ugumori! Ugumori!
**[13:31] Fu**
*Seven runs.*
**[13:34] Oc**
Sending a messenger?
**[13:38] Oc**
*He's keeping Furuya in longer today.*
**[13:43] Oc**
* It's going to be difficult*
* to get the crowd to shut up,*
**[13:48] Oc**
*and Furuya's keeping his pitches low.*
**[13:53] Oc**
*It's a tough situation as the coach.*
**[13:58] Oc**
* Whether or not you make a move,*
* your back's against the wall.*
**[14:11] Sa**
Furuya! Didn't I tell you?
**[14:13] Sa**
Baseball isn't that easy!
**[14:17] Fu**
Now?
**[14:19] Ka**
H-Hey...
**[14:21] Sa**
I'm sure you wanted to pitch until the end,
**[14:23] Sa**
but your plan fell through!
**[14:27] Mi**
Hey, now!
**[14:29] Sa**
Ugumori High School,
what a formidable opponent!
**[14:32] Sa**
And Seido starters, focus!
**[14:35] Sa**
If I could, I would stand
on the mound and pitch,
**[14:40] Sa**
but regrettably, I wasn't called!
**[14:44] Ot**
A-Are you complaining to the coach?
**[14:48] Sa**
Do you understand
what that means, Furuya?
**[14:53] Sa**
It means the coach has faith in the ace!
**[14:59] Sa**
Stop worrying about falling
to a one-run lead!
**[15:02] Sa**
You have the ace number,
so hurry up and get the last out
**[15:07] Sa**
and come back to the dugout!
**[15:26] C1**
One more run!
**[15:27] C2**
Ugumori!
**[15:28] C3**
You've got this!
**[15:29] C4**
Keep it going!
**[15:31] C5**
Ugumori!
**[15:33] Sa**
Ignore the runner!
Focus on the batter!
**[15:35] Ka**
Sawamura, stay in the dugout!
**[15:39] Sa**
Give me the ace number!
**[15:40] Ka**
There's your true intention!
**[15:44] Fu**
*You're so loud.*
**[15:46] Fu**
*Just be quiet and watch.*
**[15:57] Ka**
Hit and run?
**[15:58] Sa**
Come and get it!
**[16:03] Um**
Strike!
**[16:07] C1**
He stole second!
**[16:08] C2**
A man in scoring position!
**[16:11] UU**
Yeah!
**[16:13] C3**
A single hit ties the game!
**[16:16] R1**
Miyuki-kun didn't even try to throw it.
**[16:19] R2**
Yeah, he's taken a strong stance.
**[16:24] R2**
He's going to take out this batter.
**[16:28] I1**
I can see he wants to end it
before the three-hole batter,
**[16:31] I1**
but what a bold move.
**[16:35] I2**
He doesn't care about tying the game?
**[16:37] I2**
Is that what he's saying
to fire up the pitcher?
**[16:44] S1**
Two outs!
**[16:46] S2**
Focus on the batter!
**[16:48] Ku**
Shut him down!
**[16:49] Na**
Let's go, Furuya!
**[16:52] Ma**
You've got this, Furuya!
**[16:54] Ma**
*He's thrown a lot of pitches,*
**[16:57] Ma**
*but his spirit is still strong.*
**[17:01] S1**
The coach basically said
what Sawamura said.
**[17:06] S1**
"I'm leaving this inning to Furuya.
**[17:09] S1**
Don't come back
until you get the last out."
**[17:15] S1**
Did I sound like him?
**[17:16] S1**
Did I?
**[17:17] Ku**
No!
**[17:20] Fu**
"This inning"?
**[17:23] Fu**
So what happened to me
pitching in the ninth?
**[17:31] Ma**
*What...*
**[17:33] Ma**
* What's with his attitude*
* after giving up all the runs?*
**[17:36] Ku**
*He was still planning to pitch next inning?*
**[17:40] Ku**
Are you serious?
**[17:42] Ma**
Stop making an appeal to the coach!
**[17:47] Mi**
*With that kind of attitude, we're set.*
**[17:53] Mi**
* No matter how many bases*
* the runner steals,*
**[17:55] Mi**
*we just need to get the batter out.*
**[17:59] Mi**
*Let's take him out.*
**[18:01] U1**
Let's go, Jimmy!
**[18:03] U2**
You can do it!
**[18:05] U3**
*I have to make contact.*
**[18:09] U3**
* If I hit the pitch,*
* something will happen.*
**[18:16] U3**
*If I hit...*
**[18:24] S1**
Strike out!
**[18:26] S2**
What was that pitch?
**[18:28] S3**
That was super fast!
**[18:31] Ot**
Yes!
**[18:36] Sa**
That's how you do it!
**[18:39] Sa**
The power to shatter the opponent's
hopes and destroy them!
**[18:43] Sa**
That's your weapon!
**[18:46] Sa**
I hate how you have
everything I don't!
***SIGN*** No comment
**[18:50] Ka**
*Don't get mad and compliment him.*
**[18:53] Ha**
*Wow.*
**[18:54] Ha**
*He pushed through.*
**[18:56] Ku**
*Even though he was low on gas,*
**[18:59] Ku**
* I guess Sawamura's*
* encouragement worked.*
**[19:03] Ma**
*He's so competitive.*
**[19:06] Ma**
*The two make good rivals.*
**[19:08] Mi**
*Seven runs in eight innings.*
**[19:11] Mi**
*He gave up three runs in the first,*
**[19:13] Mi**
* so he could've easily been switched out,*
* judging by the numbers.*
**[19:19] Mi**
* But he was able to remain calm*
* and realize his role as the ace.*
**[19:25] Mi**
*He protected his own mound.*
**[19:29] Mi**
*I'm excited for his next game.*
**[19:39] Fu**
*I'm not satisfied I gave up seven runs.*
**[19:43] Ka**
Furuya.
**[19:48] Ka**
There was a fielder's error mixed in there,
**[19:50] Ka**
so don't worry too much.
**[19:52] Ka**
Good job sticking it out.
**[19:56] Fu**
Then does that mean I can pitch—
**[19:58] Ka**
No.
**[20:00] Fu**
Can I pitch until—
**[20:00] Ka**
No.
**[20:02] Ka**
However, you still have to bat this inning.
**[20:07] Ka**
So stay focused.
**[20:10] Ka**
Kuramochi, Shirasu.
**[20:12] KS**
Yes?
**[20:12] Ka**
Don't give them easy outs
that could give them momentum.
**[20:16] KS**
Yes, sir!
**[20:19] Mi**
*I'm sure Nori's pitching the ninth.*
**[20:22] Mi**
*Since Ugumori's batters swing aggressively,*
**[20:26] Mi**
* we should be fine if Nori*
* can pitch to the corners*
**[20:30] Mi**
*like usual.*
**[20:33] Um**
Let's defend this inning
and turn the game around!
**[20:37] UU**
Yeah!
**[20:39] C1**
You can do it, Ugumori!
**[20:40] C2**
It's not over yet!
**[20:42] C3**
Push it, Umemiya!
**[20:45] Mi**
*But this atmosphere...*
**[20:48] C1**
Don't concede any runs!
**[20:49] C2**
Ugumori!
**[20:50] S1**
The crowd is crazy.
**[20:53] Mi**
* He was flustered against Teito*
* when we almost lost our lead.*
**[20:58] C4**
Ugumori!
**[21:00] Mi**
*Maybe in this atmosphere,*
**[21:02] Mi**
* it's the dense type*
* who can pitch like usual.*
**[21:08] Ka**
Miyuki.
**[21:09] Mi**
Yes?
**[21:11] Ka**
In the next inning,
**[21:13] Ka**
don't pitch cautiously,
pitch offensively.
**[21:17] Ka**
In this atmosphere,
the umpire won't be on our side.
**[21:21] Ka**
If you become too cautious
and rack up balls,
**[21:25] Ka**
they'll get carried away.
**[21:27] Ka**
What's key in fighting this unstoppable
atmosphere is a strong will.
**[21:33] Ka**
We have to make offensive plays.
**[21:42] Ka**
In the last inning,
**[21:46] Ka**
we'll go with Sawamura.
**[23:31] Ka**
You're up in the last inning.
**[23:33] Sa**
Yes, Boss!
**[23:34] Ka**
Can you go immediately?
**[23:35] Sa**
Yes, Boss!
**[23:38] Ka**
Do you know what to do?
**[23:40] Sa**
Yes, Boss!
**[23:41] Ka**
What I want from you is—
**[23:42] Sa**
Yes, Boss!
**[23:43] Ka**
