[00:01] Sa
    I see.
[00:03] Sa
    This is the last tournament
    for the third-years.
[00:08] Sa
    The moment we lose,
    they're done with the team.
[00:13] Ka
    You're going in next inning, Sawamura.
[00:17] Ka
    You're ready, right?
[00:23] Sa
    Y-Yes, sir!
SIGN    Official Game Debut
[01:57] C1
    A fifteen-run difference after four innings.
[02:03] C2
    Seido's switching their pitchers already.
[02:17] C1
    Is that a first-year southpaw?
[02:24] C2
    At this rate, it looks like their ace,
    Tanba, won't be coming out.
[02:37] E1
    Hasunuma!
[02:38] E1
    He throws way slower
    than the last guy.
[02:40] E1
    Keep your eyes on the ball!
[02:41] E2
    Yeah.
[02:44] E2
    This is...
[02:45] E2
    ...our last game, right?
[02:49] E1
    Hasunuma...
SIGN    Seido Maimon
[02:54] E2
    I get that they're strong,
[02:56] E2
    but we haven't gotten
    a single hit yet.
[03:11] Yu
    Stay calm.
[03:13] Is
    I'll allow two runs!
[03:14] Is
    Any more, and you're dead!
[03:16] Ku
    We're not looking for humor here.
[03:19] Ma
    One out at a time, Sawamura-chan!
[03:21] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[03:22] Sa
    Balls will go flying,
    so thank you for defending!
SIGN    Ignore
[03:26] Sa
    Furuya!
[03:27] Sa
    You say something, too!
[03:29] Mi
    It's the perfect time to bring Sawamura out.
[03:31] Mi
    I have nothing but respect for you.
[03:35] Ot
    Is he going to be okay?
[03:48] EC
    Hasunuma!
[03:50] EC
    Be aggressive!
[03:53] EC
    Only think about swinging
    like you practiced!
[03:56] EC
    Put your entire three years on the line!
[03:59] EC
    Come on, Hasunuma!
[04:01] E1
    Coach...
[04:02] EC
    You've got this, Hasunuma!
[04:04] EC
    I know you'll hit it!
[04:06] EC
    You can do it!
[04:09] EC
    This is the difference...
[04:10] EC
    ...between us, who are just trying
    to win as many games as we can,
[04:14] EC
    and those who are seriously
    aiming for the nationals.
[04:19] EC
    Hit it!
[04:21] EC
    I thought I could catch them off guard,
[04:23] EC
    but I was underestimating our opponent.
[04:30] E1
    Hit it, Hasunuma!
[04:32] E2
    Yeah!
[04:33] E2
    Swing from the first pitch!
[04:35] E3
    Don't lose!
[04:36] E3
    Be aggressive!
[04:37] E2
    Let's at least get a run!
[04:40] E3
    Let's show them what we've got!
[04:43] E2
    Hasunuma, hit it!
[04:48] C1
    Let's go!
[04:49] C1
    Hit it!
[04:50] C2
    Hit it!
[04:55] Sa
    S-So much cheering...
[04:57] Sa
    Everyone's here with the same gravity.
[05:00] Sa
    All the third-years are putting
    everything into this tournament.
[05:08] E1
    Coach...
[05:09] E1
    Guys...
[05:12] E1
    Let's do this!
[05:15] Um
    Play.
[05:20] Mi
    Don't let it get to you, Sawamura.
[05:23] Mi
    This is what the summer
    tournament is like.
[05:44] E1
    Ow...
[05:46] E1
    But that was lucky.
[05:48] E2
    All right!
[05:49] E2
    That's our first man on base!
[05:51] E2
    That pitcher's nothing special!
[05:52] Sa
    I'm sorry.
[05:53] E1
    He's really nervous!
[05:56] Mi
    Excuse me. Time out.
[06:02] Ku
    Stop being so tense!
[06:04] Mi
    Hey, be more discreet.
[06:07] Ry
    Want another one?
[06:08] Ku
    Want us to kick you off the mound?
[06:11] Sa
    I'm not leaving!
[06:12] Sa
    I'm the only one who can
    get us out of this pinch.
[06:16] Yu
    Pinch?
[06:18] Mi
    Like you're one to talk.
[06:21] Ku
    What the?
[06:22] Ku
    He's his usual self.
[06:24] Ot
    Kawakami!
[06:24] Ot
    Get Kawakami!
[06:26] Ot
    Hey, Coach!
[06:28] Mi
    You have speed today,
    so I'm not worried.
[06:31] Ma
    But you're too tense.
[06:34] Mi
    Stop trying to use your head
    and just look at my mitt.
[06:39] Mi
    Pitching to contact is your style, isn't it?
[06:44] Sa
    Balls will go flying a lot, so be prepared!
[06:47] Mi
    I told you to relax.
[06:49] Ry
    And don't talk so casually.
[06:52] Ku
    After we get back, we're sparring.
[06:59] Ka
    I'm ashamed...
[07:02] EC
    I've found an opening!
[07:04] EC
    I can't let this chance go to waste!
[07:06] C1
    Hey, Coach Chiba's
    looking energetic again.
[07:09] C2
    Though he's moving way too much.
[07:14] C1
    A bunt?
[07:16] C2
    They need to hit
    to close this huge gap.
[07:19] E1
    Say what you will.
[07:21] E1
    We'll use our chance
    to score, one run at a time.
[07:25] E1
    That's the baseball we've
    practiced for three years.
[07:33] E1
    We have to score a run.
[07:36] Mi
    We have a huge lead.
[07:38] Mi
    Why do you think the coach put you
    on the mound this inning?
[07:44] Mi
    As the opponents do
    whatever it takes to score,
[07:46] Mi
    how will you pitch?
[07:51] Mi
    The coach is serious about
    training you guys in the games.
[08:03] Sa
    Win or lose.
[08:05] Sa
    That's the kind of game we're playing.
[08:09] Sa
    So long as I've been asked to stand here,
[08:11] Sa
    I can't lose heart!
[08:14] E1
    His form...
[08:17] E1
    Where's his arm?
[08:23] E1
    That was fast.
[08:24] Mi
    Sawamura!
[08:25] Mi
    Second base!
[08:28] Sa
    I want to play...
[08:30] Sa
    ...as many games as
    possible with this team!
[08:40] Sa
    I want to get stronger...
[08:43] Sa
    ...with the team!
[08:47] C1
    The first-year roared!
[08:49] C2
    He's good at fielding.
[08:54] Sa
    Yes!
[08:55] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[08:56] C1
    How long's he gonna do that?
[08:58] C2
    Someone stop him...
[09:02] Ch
    He was able to check
    the runner before throwing.
[09:04] Ch
    Don't worry.
[09:05] Ch
    Sawamura is calm.
[09:08] Ot
    Oh, is that so?
[09:10] Sa
    Two outs!
[09:12] Ch
    It wouldn't be like him
    to not overtly show his emotions.

    First pitch.
[09:43] Ot
    The first-years are making
     aggressive plays this year.
[09:45] Sa
    Nice hit, Harucchi!
[09:47] Ot
    Or should I say, bold plays.
[09:52] Sa
    All right.
[09:53] Sa
    I'll be right behind you!
[09:56] Ku
    You just got switched for a pinch hitter!

    Sawamura-chan, let's go back.

[10:54] C1
    Ichidai Third High is strong!
[10:56] C2
    They didn't get to the quarterfinal
    at the invitational by luck.
[10:59] I1
    Nice pitch, Manaka!
[11:01] I2
    Nice pitch, Manaka!
[11:05] Re
    He's putting good spin on his throws.
[11:08] Re
    The batters can't help
    swinging at his low sliders.
[11:13] C1
    Ichidai Third High is matching up
    with Seido at the semifinal, right?
[11:18] C1
    Who do you think'll win?
[11:20] C2
    I think Ichidai Third High is the favorite.
[11:22] C1
    But you can't ignore the Seido batters.
[11:25] C2
    Ichidai Third High took the fall,
[11:27] C2
    but Seido won the hitting
    battle in the spring.
[11:30] C2
    Who'll take the final round
    of this close one-on-one battle?
[11:35] C1
    Man, I can't wait to see it.
[11:37] C2
    Who's gonna take it?
[11:40] IC
    Manaka boy, perfect.
[11:43] I1
    Thanks.
[11:46] IC
    Using Manaka boy in the spring tournaments
[11:50] IC
    with his fatigue from the invitational
[11:52] IC
    was my mistake as the coach.
[11:56] IC
    But Manaka boy has grown
    tremendously after he lost that day.
[12:04] IC
    We'll have revenge for the spring,
    Seido High School.
[12:15] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[12:17] Um
    Game set!
[12:20] M1
    We got through with just those three!
[12:22] Ha
    Yes!
[12:24] M2
    Kawakami-kun, nice pitch!
[12:26] Sa
    It's already over after five innings?
[12:45] Um
    Please line up.
[12:47] Um
    Bow!
[12:49] EE
    Thank you!
[12:54] E1
    Good luck, you guys.
[12:55] E2
    You'd better go to the nationals!
[12:57] E3
    We have no regrets from a loss like this.
[13:01] E4
    Hey.
[13:03] E4
    First-years, you, too.
[13:11] E4
    Good luck.
[13:16] Sa
    The losing team...
[13:18] Sa
    ...is cheering on the winning team?
[13:23] Sa
    O-Of course...
[13:26] Sa
    These guys were aiming for
    the nationals, just like us.
[13:36] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[13:37] Sa
    I'll do everything I can!
[13:40] Sa
    I'll play for you guys, too,
[13:43] Sa
    so please continue your support!
[13:45] Sa
    Thank you for playing for three years!
[13:47] Sa
    Thank you!
[14:00] Ch
    It was a crucial first game,
[14:02] Ch
    and you were both too tense.
[14:05] Ch
    Sawamura.
[14:06] Ch
    The double play was nice,
[14:08] Ch
    but the two walks you gave away
    immediately after were unnecessary.
[14:12] Ch
    Furuya.
[14:13] Ch
    If we continue to win,
[14:14] Ch
    our opponents will have
    done their research.
[14:17] Ch
    The way you pitched today won't work.
[14:20] Mi
    Do you know what "control" means?
[14:23] Mi
    Don't make noises in the bullpen.
[14:25] Mi
    It's annoying.
[14:26] Ch
    What if the batter
    had been Alex Cabrera?
[14:30] Sa
    But I got the outs...
[14:34] Re
    Their batters have improved
    a great deal since the spring,
[14:37] Re
    and their ace, Manaka-kun, seemed
    to be in top-notch condition.
[14:42] Re
    The match against Ichidai
[14:44] Re
    will be decided by how much
     our pitchers can improve by then.
[14:52] Ka
    We have two more games before then.
[14:54] Ka
    First, we have to win the next game.
[14:57] Pr
    Hello.
[14:59] Pr
    You dominated the first game.
[15:01] VP
    Congratulations, Principal.
[15:04] Pr
    Though I didn't watch the game.
[15:06] VP
    Let's hope you can keep it up
    and easily get to nationals.
[15:16] Pr
    They're already practicing
    after the game today?
[15:19] Pr
    Why not let them rest today?
[15:22] Ka
    The boys are practicing on their own.
[15:25] Ka
    We've only taken the first
    step of a long journey.
[15:31] Ka
    We don't have any player who gets
    elated from winning one game.
[15:41] G1
    Hey, isn't he the one?
[15:47] G2
    H-He isn't like how he was on the mound.
[15:51] G1
    But he was really amazing!
[15:53] G1
    I'm positive everyone
    will know him in the future.
[15:56] G2
    Then maybe I'll cheer him on privately.
[15:59] G1
    Hey, no fair!
[16:00] G1
    I found him first!
[16:03] G3
    Hey, look.
[16:04] G3
    He has the number 19 uniform.
[16:07] G1
    He's so cute!
[16:09] G1
    He looks like a girl!
[16:13] Ha
    S-Sawamura-kun, you're making
    weird noises again!
[16:16] Ka
    His eyes are open,
    and he's smiling for some reason.
[16:21] Ha
    The sound changed.
[16:25] B1
    Game tomorrow, right?
[16:27] B2
    We'll go cheer you on!
[16:29] B3
    Tetsu, hit a home run!
[16:32] B2
    Masuko, your stomach's growling.
[16:35] B3
    Howl, Isashiki!
[16:36] B2
    The Spitz of Seido—
[16:37] B2
    Sorry!
[16:39] B4
    Good luck, baseball team!
[16:41] G1
    Tetsu-san!
[16:42] B1
    You'd better go to nationals this year!
[16:49] G1
    They're fighting again?
[16:50] G1
    But they're always together.
[16:53] G2
    They don't have any friends.
[17:04] Ka
    Throw cautiously as you check how it feels.
[17:07] Ka
    Once your shoulder's warmed up,
    let Miyuki sit and throw.
[17:11] Ta
    Yes, sir.
[17:12] Mi
    A month since the accident,
[17:14] Mi
    and he's finally back in the bullpen.
[17:18] Mi
    When Tanba-san was in junior high,
[17:21] Mi
    he was the reliever for Manaka-san,
    the ace at Ichidai, right?
[17:26] Mi
    When the coach said to come
    back by the game against them,
[17:30] Mi
    that must have been the reason.
[17:34] Mi
    Tanba-san, one more!
[17:45] Mi
    Nice throw!
[17:46] Mi
    It's slowly looking better!
[17:49] Mi
    It's nowhere near as good
    as before the accident.
[17:53] Mi
    But...
[17:55] Mi
    ...it's the ace number he finally got
[17:57] Mi
    after going his separate way.
[18:00] Mi
    I can tell from his pitch
[18:03] Mi
    that this tournament means a lot to him.
[18:07] Mi
    Two games until the quarterfinal.
[18:11] Mi
    We can't lose.
[18:18] Fu
    So hot...
[18:20] Fu
    It's really humid.
[18:28] Sa
    Did you see that?
[18:29] Sa
    My new, evolved fastball!
[18:31] Ch
    It's too high.
[18:33] Ch
    Don't make me repeat myself.
[18:36] Re
    Did you teach him how to grip the ball?
[18:39] Ch
    Yes.
[18:40] Ch
    I only taught him the basic four-seam.
SIGN    Four-seam
[18:45] Ch
    Four-seam, a basic way
    of throwing a fastball
[18:49] Ch
    by putting your fingers
    on the seam in four places.
[18:52] Sa
    This!
[18:54] Ch
    Sawamura's been throwing
    without thinking about the grip.

    Four-seam?
[19:02] (Flashback) Sa
    Is he an American rapper?
[19:05] Ch
    With his flexible joints, soft fingertips,
[19:09] Ch
    and the random ways he grips the ball,
[19:11] Ch
    his moving fastball is born.
[19:14] Ch
    In the Kokudokan game,
    when I catching,
[19:18] Ch
    the pitch he threw
    that struck out Zaizen...
[19:21] Ch
    ...was probably a coincidental four-seamer.
[19:27] Ch
    To Sawamura, it's a straight fastball.
[19:29] Ch
    In other words, it's another
    type of moving for him.
[19:34] Ch
    In the future,
[19:35] Ch
    I'm hoping he'll be a pitcher
    who can move his pitch at will.
[19:46] Re
    Sorry.
[19:47] Re
    I can't imagine him doing
    that at all right now.
[19:51] Ch
    Hopefully, in the very long run.
[19:56] Fu
    I'm done with the run, Chris-senpai.
[20:00] Ch
    Then warm up your shoulders
    and come to the bullpen.
[20:04] Ch
    You should be able to throw
    without any extra strength now.
[20:07] Re
    I see.
[20:08] Re
    So that's what it was for.
[20:10] Ch
    Maybe you should run before a game, too.
[20:15] Re
    It may be too much
    to ask from a first-year,
[20:20] Re
    but we need you in order
    to win this summer.
[20:24] Re
    Tanba won't be back for a while,
[20:27] Re
    so you're the ace in the meantime.
