[00:12] R2
    It's fair to say this year's final
    was unlike anything before.
[00:18] R2
    Two teams fought for one spot
    to represent West Tokyo.
[00:23] R1
    I can't finish!
[00:28] R1
    I want to go home.
[00:31] R1
    Mine-san! Can you help me?
[00:33] R2
    No, that's not my job.
[00:38] R1
    Fine!
[00:40] R1
    Let's see, each team's play style...
[00:43] R2
    Last year's champions,
    Inashiro Vocational School,
[00:47] R2
    have played the game around
    their ace, Narumiya-kun.
[00:51] R2
    To beat Inashiro,
    you have to get through him.
[00:56] R2
    Seido, on the other hand,
[00:59] R2
    has relied on their explosive lineup,
[01:02] R2
    centered around their captain
    and cleanup, Yuki-kun,
[01:05] R2
    and their four-man pitcher relay.
[01:10] R2
    The two first-year pitchers,
    Furuya-kun and Sawamura-kun,
[01:14] R2
    made a huge impact
    on the outcome of the game.
[01:18] R1
    Wow!
[01:19] R1
    Thank you, Mine-san.
[01:21] R1
    Seido's two first-year pitchers,
    Furuya-kun and Sawamura-kun...
[01:26] R2
    Don't use it word for word.
[01:30] R1
    Who would've thought...
[01:32] R1
    ...that the game would end like that?
SIGN    The Summer Heat Haze
[03:07] An
    The West Tokyo Qualifier final
    is about to get underway.
[03:12] (Flashback) An
    Inashiro is here to take their
    second consecutive summer title.
[03:16] (Flashback) An
    Seido is here to get revenge for last year
[03:18] (Flashback) An
    and go to nationals
    for the first time in six years!
[03:21] (Flashback) An
    They're both top-tier teams nationally!
[03:24] (Flashback) An
    Which one will take this game?
[03:27] (Flashback) An
    Batting for Seido in the top of the first
[03:31] (Flashback) An
    is their first batter and shortstop,
     Kuramochi-kun.
[03:35] (Flashback) Um
    Play!
[03:37] Na
    It's very clear you're
    going for a bunt.
[03:44] (Flashback) Um
    Ball!
[03:45] Ka
    Good.
[03:47] Ka
    Don't give him any easy strikes.
[03:55] (Flashback) Um
    Ball four!
[03:56] (Flashback) Ku
    Right on!
[03:59] (Flashback) Ma
    Don't walk him, stupid!
[04:04] (Flashback) An
    Second batter and second baseman,
    Ryosuke Kominato-kun.
[04:12] Ma
    Kominato's preparing for a bunt.
[04:15] Ma
    I'm sure they'll do a sacrifice bunt here,
[04:18] (Flashback) Na
    Damn it!
[04:19] Ma
    but they might try to hit while
    keeping Mei distracted with the runner.
[04:23] Ma
    Let's focus on the batter, Mei.
[04:29] Na
    I hate you guys.
[04:32] Na
    So much.
[04:34] (Flashback) I1
    Steal!
[04:35] (Flashback) An
    Oh! He's going for the steal!
[04:38] (Flashback) Ma
    Not happening!
[04:46] (Flashback) Um
    Safe!
[04:50] (Flashback) An
    And he's safe!
[04:51] (Flashback) An
    What a run it was!
[04:52] (Flashback) An
    The battery saw it coming,
    yet he still made it!
[04:58] (Flashback) Ma
    First base!
[05:00] (Flashback) Na
    I know!
[05:03] (Flashback) An
    With a runner on third,
    Inashiro could already lose a run here!
[05:08] (Flashback) An
    Seido has some powerful
    batters lined up next.
[05:12] Ma
    You should know, Mei.
[05:14] Ma
    He's not gonna wait to swing.
[05:17] Ma
    Let's get aggressive.
[05:21] Is
    Give it to me!
[05:22] Is
    Give it to me!
[05:24] Is
    Come on!
[05:26] Is
    Give me one to the inside!
[05:29] Is
    Yes!
[05:29] Is
    Just as predicted!
[05:33] Is
    A slider?
[05:38] (Flashback) Ma
    Second! Back home!
[05:40] (Flashback) An
    The outfieders were defending forward.
[05:43] (Flashback) Sa
    Come on!
[05:46] (Flashback) Na
    No way!
[05:47] (Flashback) Is
    Fall!
[05:49] (Flashback) An
    It's on the ground!
[05:50] (Flashback) An
    Kuramochi steps home
    after seeing the hit.
[05:54] (Flashback) An
    Seido scores the first run!
[05:56] (Flashback) R1
    That play was huge.
[05:59] (Flashback) R2
    Yeah.
[06:00] (Flashback) R2
    Kuramochi-kun's steal made this possible.
[06:03] (Flashback) Sa
    Yeah!
[06:05] (Flashback) R1
    Not to mention their next batter is...
[06:07] (Flashback) An
    Fourth batter and first
    baseman, Yuki-kun.
[06:19] Ma
    Calm down, Mei.
[06:20] Ma
    He won't swing at any balls.
[06:26] Ch
    Should be coming soon.
[06:29] Is
    Don't hold back, you idiot.
[06:32] Mi
    Mei's lost his cool
    after giving up the run,
[06:35] Mi
    so now's the best time
    to hit his best pitch.
[06:38] Mi
    And only you can do that.
[06:52] Mi
    Yes! It's the change-up!
[06:55] Mi
    He's waiting.
[06:56] Mi
    He knew it was coming.
[07:06] (Flashback) Um
    Strike!
[07:07] (Flashback) Um
    Batter out!
[07:09] Mi
    Not only does it throw off
    your timing,
[07:11] Mi
    it also breaks like a screwball?
[07:14] Mi
    This... is his change-up?
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[07:18] R2
    Narumiya-kun hadn't given up
    any runs this tournament
[07:21] R2
    until Seido took the first of the game.
[07:24] R2
    And then, it was Inashiro's turn to bat.
[07:52] Ka
    Crap.
[07:53] Ka
    He's still a first-year?
[07:56] Ka
    He's really a monster.
[08:02] Ka
    He's got absolutely no control.
[08:04] Ka
    Getting an easy pitch isn't very likely.
[08:08] Ka
    Oh, never mind.
[08:12] Ka
    Right on the money.
[08:18] Ka
    Oh. So that's...
[08:21] Ka
    ...the splitter.
[08:22] (Flashback) Um
    Strike!
[08:23] (Flashback) Um
    Batter out!
[08:25] (Flashback) Ka
    Strike out!
[08:37] I1
    You'll take me by force?
[08:44] I1
    They were all fastballs?
[08:46] (Flashback) Ha
    Two consecutive strikeouts.
[08:48] (Flashback) Ha
    He's on a roll.
[08:49] (Flashback) Sa
    Too early to say that.
[08:51] (Flashback) Sa
    He sometimes fails on us randomly.
[09:03] (Flashback) M1
    Three consecutive strikeouts!
[09:05] (Flashback) C1
    Is this kid for real?
[09:07] (Flashback) C1
    He's a monster!

    Narumiya-kun allowed the first run,
[09:17] R2
    but he continued to pitch well afterward.
[09:22] R2
    Furya-kun also pitched well,
[09:25] R2
    and the game was at a standstill.
SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[09:33] (Flashback) An

    What's going on with the leader?
[10:02] (Flashback) Sa
    Is he not feeling well?
[10:03] (Flashback) Ha
    No, I don't think that's it.
[10:07] Is
    That arrogant, little...
[10:09] Is
    He's only going all out against him.
[10:16] (Flashback) I1
    Got it!
[10:18] (Flashback) Um
    Out!
[10:19] (Flashback) An
    And that's the third out!
[10:21] (Flashback) An
    Seido's offense ends with
    three batters yet again!
[10:25] (Flashback) An

SIGN    Seido Inashiro
[10:34] (Flashback) An
    Batting fourth, catcher, Harada-kun.
[10:47] Mi
    He's holding his bat short again.
[10:51] Mi
    Carlos is on second base.
[10:54] Mi
    It's two outs, and first base is open.
[10:58] Mi
    Let's get aggressive here.
[10:59] Mi
    Don't be afraid to get aggressive.
[11:02] Mi
    Furuya.
[11:14] Ma
    A splitter?
[11:37] (Flashback) An
    Home in!
[11:38] (Flashback) An
    The score's tied!
[11:40] (Flashback) An
    He sent the ball to center field
    while falling down!
[11:43] (Flashback) An
    Inashiro's first hit is
    their cleanup's RBI single!
[11:49] (Flashback) An
    The ball goes high into right field!
[11:51] (Flashback) Na
    Yes!
[11:52] (Flashback) Na
    That one felt good!
[11:55] (Flashback) An
    The runner on first just ran through third!
[11:57] (Flashback) An
    And home in!
    That's the second run!
[11:59] (Flashback) An
    Inashiro managed to turn
    the game around this inning!
[12:07] (Flashback) Ka
    What's his pitch count?
[12:08] (Flashback) Ka
    Sixty-eight after four innings.
[12:12] (Flashback) Ka
    Go get Tanba.
[12:14] (Flashback) Ka
    I'm putting him in.

    Runners on first and second with no outs!
[13:44] R2
    Tanba-kun took the mound after Furuya-kun,
[13:47] R2
    but after he gave up the home run,
    everything went downhill.
[13:57] Mi
    A good fastball brings life
    to the breaking balls.
[14:03] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[14:04] Mi
    Be bold.
[14:10] Ta
    A fastball...

    I can do this.

    Damn.
[19:50] Ma
    It didn't curve as much.
