[00:00] Ka
    In the last inning,
[00:03] Ka
    we'll go with Sawamura.
[00:08] S1
    Okay! You're looking good!
[00:11] Sa
    Thank you!
[00:18] Um
    Out!
[00:21] U1
    Two outs! Two outs!
[00:23] U2
    Two outs!
[00:24] U2
    Nice! Second!
[00:26] R1
    Seido got a runner on third,
[00:28] R1
    but Ugumori's fielders
    are playing really well
[00:30] R1
    and keeping Umemiya-kun's morale high.
[00:32] R2
    Yeah.
[00:33] R1
    This game's almost over.
[00:36] U1
    Ume-chan!
[00:37] U2
    One at a time!
[00:38] Um
    Two outs!
[00:40] R1
    Can Umemiya-kun stop Seido here
[00:43] R1
    and give momentum to their offense?
[00:47] R1
    Or will Miyuki-kun get another hit
[00:50] R1
    and expand their lead again?
SIGN    This Guy's Pretty Good
[02:34] Um
    Strike!
[02:36] C1
    First pitch is a slow curve ball!
[02:41] C2
    He's got guts.
[02:43] C3
    That was a good pitch.
[02:45] R1
    He's not walking him.
[02:47] R2
    Yeah.
[02:48] R2
    The next batter, Maezono-kun,
    has been hitting today, too.
[02:53] C1
    Ugumori!
[02:54] C2
    Umemiya!
[02:55] C3
    Ugumori!
[02:57] Mi
    I can't let them get momentum before they bat.
[03:03] Mi
    A two-run difference is better than one.
[03:05] Mi
    It'll reduce the pressure
    on Sawamura in the next inning.
[03:20] C1
    He's persistent.
[03:21] C2
    Yeah.
[03:23] C2
    Umemiya's having a hard time.
[03:25] U1
    You're doing well, Ume-chan!
[03:27] U2
    You've got this!
[03:28] U3
    Stop them here!
[03:34] Um
    We scored as a team.
[03:40] Um
    I can't give them any more runs.
[03:54] Um
    Yeah!
[03:56] C1
    There it is!
[03:58] C2
    Right in front of the fence.
[04:00] C3
    He got the cleanup out
    and kept Seido down!
[04:02] C4
    Awesome!
[04:04] C5
    Last inning now!
[04:06] C6
    Turn it around!
[04:07] C7
    Come on!
[04:08] UU
    Yeah!
[04:13] U1
    Nice pitch, Ume-chan!
[04:15] U2
    Nice pitch!
SIGN    Seido High School has announced a change of players.
SIGN    Replacing the pitcher, Furuya-kun...
SIGN    ...is Sawamura-kun.
SIGN    Pitcher, Sawamura-kun.
[04:32] S1
    Th-They're using Sawamura here?
[04:35] S2
    Not Kawakami?
[04:37] S3
    Let's go!
[04:38] S4
    Yeah!
[04:39] S5
    Let's warm up, just in case.
[04:40] Ka
    Okay.
[04:42] Oc
    Why not just let Furuya pitch
    until the end, at this point?
[04:48] R2
    He was a great reliever against Teito,
[04:51] R2
    and he pitched an entire seven-inning
    game against Nanamori yesterday.
[04:57] R2
    I'm sure Coach Kataoka is valuing
    Sawamura-kun's strong spirit.
[05:02] C1
    What?
[05:03] C1
    He's not pitching until the end?
[05:07] I1
    According to Oda-san's scouting report,
[05:10] I1
    his outside pitch was really good against Teito.
[05:14] I2
    Outside?
[05:16] I2
    Not inside?
[05:18] Um
    A southpaw pitcher with unique timing.
[05:22] Um
    I picture him throwing a lot of strikes.
[05:26] Na
    He pitches moving fastballs,
    but they're all still just fastballs in the end.
[05:31] Na
    If he throws a strike,
    let's not hesitate to swing.
[05:34] Um
    If he's going to face us head on,
    then I couldn't be happier.
[05:39] C1
    This is it, Ugumori!
[05:41] C2
    Don't let it end here!
[05:44] C3
    Something's gonna happen this inning.
[05:47] C4
    Umemiya's gonna bat, too.
[05:49] C5
    I can't miss this for the world.
[05:51] C6
    I forgot to go use the restroom.
[05:53] C7
    Ugumori!
[05:54] C8
    Ugumori!
[05:55] Ha
    Again with the chants.
[05:57] Ma
    Did you take deep breaths?
[05:59] Ka
    Do the usual!
[06:01] C1
    Ugumori!
[06:03] C2
    Ugumori!
[06:06] R1
    The crowd is really hot.
[06:08] R2
    Yeah.
[06:09] R1
    Ugumori starts with their three-hole this inning.
[06:14] R1
    I wonder how Sawamura-kun
    will pitch against them.
[06:20] Um
    Go get him, Maru-chan!
[06:24] C1
    Ugumori!
[06:25] C2
    Let's go!
[06:26] C3
    This is it!
[06:28] Mi
    The mood's pretty overwhelming
    from the mound, isn't it?
[06:32] Sa
    Yeah.
[06:33] Mi
    It's like an away game.
[06:35] Mi
    The entire stadium wants Ugumori to win.
[06:38] CC
    Ugumori!
[06:40] C1
    Go get them!
[06:41] C2
    Ugumori!
[06:43] C3
    Ugumori!
[06:45] Mi
    But I bet it'd feel good
    to shut them all up.
[06:53] Sa
    You're so evil.
[06:55] Sa
    What a captain.
[06:56] Mi
    Shut up.
[06:57] Mi
    You'd better pitch properly.
[07:01] Ha
    What's with the evil grins?
[07:05] Na
    Miyuki.
[07:07] Mi
    First pitch!
[07:08] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[07:11] S2
    Sawamura.
[07:17] (Flashback) Ka
    No need to pitch strikes to the inside.
[07:19] (Flashback) Ka
    Get the strikes with the outside.
[07:24] S1
    Swing for the first pitch.
[07:27] Mi
    The Ugumori batters are itching to swing,
[07:29] Mi
    so let's give them a pitch
    they have to swing at.
[07:35] Sa
    Not to run away,
[07:40] Sa
    but the offensive...
[07:43] Sa
    ...low and outside!
[07:51] Um
    Ball!
[07:54] Sa
    Wh...
[07:55] Sa
    Ball?
[07:57] U1
    Phew.
[07:59] U1
    If that's a strike, I can't hit it.
[08:05] Mi
    It was a good pitch!
[08:08] Mi
    He was tough on Furuya, too,
    but he's tough on the low pitches.
[08:13] Mi
    If that pitch was a strike,
    it would've made all the difference.
[08:19] Mi
    Next up, inside.
[08:23] Ma
    Pitch to contact, Sawamura.
[08:25] ---
    We want him to jam it.
[08:32] Um
    Ball!
[08:35] Ot
    A bouncing fastball?
[08:37] Ha
    Don't be so tense!
[08:39] Ka
    We've got your back, Sawamura.
[08:41] R1
    His first pitch was called a ball,
[08:44] R1
    so he's tensed up.
[08:46] R2
    Yeah.
[08:48] R2
    Two balls now.
[08:49] R2
    The batter's gonna swing.
[08:55] Mi
    You're being too tense.
[08:57] Mi
    Swing your arm all the way down.
[09:04] Um
    Foul!
[09:06] Na
    He swung late?
[09:08] Mi
    Nice pitch!
[09:10] Mi
    That was close.
[09:12] Mi
    The course was really bad.
[09:14] S1
    Good job, Sawamura!
[09:18] U1
    His pitch
[09:21] U1
    is trickier than it looks.
[09:29] Sa
    Damn!
[09:33] Um
    Safe!
[09:40] C1
    I totally thought he was
     going to be out!
[09:43] C2
    There's the tying runner now!
SIGN    Batting fourth and pitcher, Umemiya-kun.
SIGN    Batting fourth and pitcher, Umemiya-kun.
[10:14] C1
    Umemiya!
[10:15] C2
    Ugumori!
[10:17] C3
    Ugumori's boss!
[10:19] C4
    Umemiya!
[10:22] Mi
    You remember the home run Furuya gave up?
[10:26] Mi
    Don't let him provoke you, Sawamura.
[10:32] C1
    One more run!
[10:34] C2
    Umemiya!
[10:37] C3
    Ugumori!
[10:39] Sa
    Get back!
[10:41] C1
    What a big lead.
[10:43] C2
    Are they going to steal again?
[10:46] C3
    No way.
[10:47] C3
    I doubt they'd be that reckless.
[10:49] C4
    You never know with them.
[10:52] U1
    If I can get your attention,
    I'll be happy to take big lead.
[10:57] U2
    Umemiya!
[11:00] U3
    Ume-chan.
[11:02] U4
    Ume-chan.
[11:04] Na
    We don't need to take the risk.
[11:07] Na
    Umemiya.
[11:10] Na
    I'm leaving this to your clutch ability.
[11:13] Mi
    Ugumori isn't stupid enough to run here.
[11:18] Mi
    He's the core and backbone of the team.
[11:21] Mi
    His influence is big.
[11:25] Mi
    In other words, if we can get him out,
[11:29] Mi
    we can stop Ugumori's momentum.
[11:38] Mi
    Put everything into getting this batter out!
[11:49] Um
    Ball!
[11:50] I1
    Just barely a ball.
[11:52] I2
    That inside first pitch.
[11:54] I2
    What an offensive pitch.
[12:03] Ma
    Nice pitch!
[12:04] Ma
    It looks good, Sawamura!
[12:07] Mi
    It was a ball, but it
    should've stimulated him.
[12:11] Mi
    Before he forgets the inside pitch,
    let's throw him an outside.
[12:15] Um
    Oh.
[12:17] Um
    Wow!
[12:20] Um
    Adrenaline or dopamine
    or whatever's going crazy.
[12:48] Mi
    Even after the inside pitch,
    he didn't hesitate.
[12:51] U1
    Nice one, Ume-chan!
[12:53] U2
    You can do it!
[12:56] Um
    I swung a little late.
[13:00] Um
    The last pitch was good, too.
[13:04] Um
    This guy's pretty good.
[13:10] Mi
    If he swings at a ball again,
    this game's ours.
[13:15] Mi
    One more outside.
[13:28] Um
    Foul!
[13:30] U1
    Ume-chan!
[13:31] U2
    Umemiya!
[13:33] Na
    Umemiya.
[13:34] U3
    Ume-chan!
[13:35] C1
    Ugumori!
[13:39] Um
    Yeah.
[13:41] Um
    Leave it to me.
[13:48] Um
    Ball!
[13:53] Mi
    Relax!
[13:55] Mi
    Your face looks stiff.
[14:01] R1
    It must be hard
    for Sawamura-kun to pitch.
[14:04] R2
    The crowd wants to see an upset,
[14:08] R2
    so the entire stadium
    is covered by that desire.
[14:12] CC
    Ugumori! Ugumori! Ugumori!
[14:25] Um
    Come on.
[14:30] Um
    Come on.
[14:32] Um
    Come get it!
[14:44] Sa
    Damn.
[14:48] Sa
    Why now?
[14:56] Ku
    We're right here, Sawamura!
[14:58] Ha
    Eijun-kun!
[15:00] Ma
    Sawamura!
[15:01] Sa
    Get out!
[15:09] C1
    That was high!
[15:11] C2
    It would've been a ball
     if he hadn't swung!
[15:19] C3
    That pitcher's hard to hit.
[15:21] C4
    Is it even that fast?
[15:23] C5
    But he's making contact.
[15:26] C6
    The only inside pitch was the first one.
[15:29] C7
    Can you see how fast he's swinging?
[15:30] C7
    I'd be scared to pitch inside.
[15:33] C8
    Sawamura only pitches fastballs.
[15:37] C9
    So if it goes a little in,
    it's going to the stands.
[15:41] Mi
    The pitch is slowly moving inward.
[15:45] Mi
    Just like with Furuya,
    he's unconciously trying to pitch a strike.
[15:51] Mi
    He isn't overwhelmed by the crowd.
[15:55] Mi
    It's this batter.
[15:58] Mi
    This batter is provoking the pitcher's instincts.
[16:12] Mi
    What do I do?
[16:13] Mi
    It'll take a perfect pitch to get him out.
[16:17] Mi
    Sawamura knows it, too,
    so he's doing his best to stay calm.
[16:26] C1
    The battery is taking their time.
[16:30] Ka
    Sawamura.
[16:33] C2
    The count is full,
    but the battery's cornered.
[16:38] I1
    If he had a pitch that threw the timing off,
[16:41] I1
    it'd help the catcher.
[16:45] Oc
    Coach Kataoka made a bad move.
[16:50] Oc
    He should've gone with Kawakami,
    who has more variety in pitches.
[16:56] I2
    But even if the catcher wanted the pitch,
[17:00] I2
    if the pitcher didn't, there's no point.
[17:08] (Flashback) Na
    Leave it to me.
[17:11] I2
    I was powerless against
    the pitcher's unyielding will.
[17:22] Sa
    What's wrong?
[17:25] Sa
    Why are we waiting?
[17:35] (Flashback) Ka
    No need to pitch
    strikes to the inside.
[17:39] (Flashback) Ka
    Get the strikes with the outside.
[17:56] Sa
    A cutter to the inside?
[18:04] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[18:05] Sh
    He's tapping the outside pitches.
[18:08] Ku
    Gonna finish him with an inside?
[18:12] Ma
    Go for it.
[18:14] Ma
    You've always pitched
    from the heart.
[18:18] Ma
    After so many outside balls, he's not
    gonna react to a pitch into his chest.
[18:28] Oc
    If he can actually pitch there.
[18:31] Oc**
    He's overwhelmed by the batter.
[18:34] Oc
    If he messes up...
[18:41] C1
    Ugumori!
[18:42] C2
    Hit it, Umemiya!
[18:44] Ot
    Sawamura!
[18:47] U1
    Let's go, Ume-chan!
[18:49] U2
    Umemiya, hit it hard!
[18:52] U3
    Ume-chan!
[18:53] C1
    Ugumori!
[18:54] U4
    Ume-chan!
[18:55] C2
    Ugumori!
[18:55] U3
    Umemiya!
[18:57] R1
    A home run would turn the game around.
[18:59] R1
    It's not exactly a common turn of events,
[19:03] R1
    but in this atmosphere...
[19:05] R2
    Some people can't withstand this pressure,
[19:09] R2
    but some can turn it into strength.
[19:12] R2
    Umemiya-kun is undoubtedly the latter.
[19:16] R2
    An inside pitch against
    Umemiya-kun seems a bit risky.
[19:22] C1
    Maybe they're just out of things to pitch.
[19:26] I1
    An inside pitch.
[19:29] I1
    They're going with
    his most confident pitch.
[19:36] Mi
    Sawamura, you can pitch
    under this pressure.
[19:41] Mi
    That's what I thought,
[19:43] Mi
    and the coach thought so, too,
    when he put you on the mound.
[19:48] Mi
    Even if you miss, it's 2-3.
[19:51] Mi
    It'll be good bait for the next pitch.
[19:53] Mi
    And if he ties the game,
    we still have one at-bat.
[19:59] Mi
    Give me a pitch
[20:02] Mi
    you'll be happy with.
[20:06] Ka
    Sawamura, you've got this!
[20:09] To
    Let's do this!
[20:11] Sh
    We've got this!
[20:16] U1
    Go for it!
[20:18] U2
    Ume-chan, let's go!
[20:18] U3
    They're under pressure, too!
[20:21] Na
    You never doubted the workout plan I made.
[20:29] Na
    You've always
[20:31] Na
    exceeded my expectations.
[20:35] Na
    Now, it's time I believed in you.
[20:49] Sa
    If I get scared here...
[20:53] Sa
    ...I won't change.
[20:57] Sa
    That's not good.
[20:59] (Flashback) Sa
    What do I want to do?
[21:01] (Flashback) Sa
    What does it mean to go to nationals?
[21:05] Sa
    Don't be scared.
[21:07] Sa
    What can I do?
[21:08] (Flashback) Is
    Why don't you go figure that out yourself?
[21:11] (Flashback) Is
    Idiot.
[21:14] Sa
    Don't rush it.
[21:17] Sa
    Do what I can!
[21:20] Sa
    Relax.
[21:24] Sa
    I want to go to nationals, too.
[21:28] Sa
    Go forth.
[21:30] Sa
    Don't run away.
[21:32] Sa
    Go forth.
[21:33] Sa
    I won't run away!
[21:36] Sa
    No way I will!
[21:55] Um
    Inside!
[23:30] Sa
    If I get scared here,
    I won't change.
[23:33] Sa
    I'm not running away!
[23:35] Um
    Inside!
[23:37] Mi
    Meanwhile, other strong teams
    were playing at other stadiums.

    Sensen Academy, Ichidai Third, Akikawa,
[23:43] Mi
