[00:12] int_Player
    Now a different pickoff move.
[00:15] int_Player
    He's a skilled pitcher.
[00:18] @int_Sawamura
    His lead's smaller now.
[00:22] @Maezono
    Steal!
[00:29] _Umpire
    Out!
[00:33] _Fan
    There's Kazuya Miyuki's rocket arm!
[00:36] _Fan
    That was a nice throw.
[00:42] int_Coach
    1.18 seconds.
[00:43] int_Coach
    He's going through the stretch faster.
[00:46] @Kuramochi
    Two outs!
[00:48] @Kominato
    Two outs!
[00:50] @Sawamura
    Two outs!
[00:52] @Maezono
    Two outs!
[00:53] Mima
    The catcher can't stop a
    stolen base by himself.
[00:57] Mima
    The pitcher needs to cooperate, too.
[01:00] Mima
    And he's shown he cares about his catcher.
[01:04] Mima
    Did you drill that into him?
[01:09] @int_Miyuki
    Drill it in? Please.
[01:15] @int_Miyuki
    He's still nowhere near complete!
[01:20] _Umpire
    Strike!
[01:26] _Umpire
    Ball!
[01:28] @int_Miyuki
    And since he's incomplete,
[01:33] @int_Miyuki
    that means he can still
    grow an incredible amount.
[01:47] @int_Miyuki
    Playing this game...
[01:50] @int_Miyuki
    will undoubtedly...
[01:52] @int_Miyuki
    make him stronger.
[01:55] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[01:58] @int_Miyuki
    That's how Sawamura is now!
[03:33] _Fan
    He took Mima down with a fastball!
[03:36] _Fan
    His pitching is limiting
    Hakuryu's running game!
[03:39] _Fan
    He held them scoreless again!
[03:45] @Kuramochi
    Sawamura, you jerk!
[03:48] @Kanemaru
    Nice pitching!
SIGN    Hakuryu
SIGN    Seido
[03:55] Narrator
    Two talented pitchers who played in
    the Invitational are facing each other
[03:59] Narrator
    as the match between Hakuryu High School
    and Seido High School
[04:03] Narrator
    enters the bottom of the third inning.
SIGN    Bottom of the Third
    Two Outs, Runner on First
[04:08] Narrator
    After giving up the lead in the first inning,
    Hakuryu's starting pitcher Ono
[04:13] Narrator
    has settled down and is holding
    the Seido batters at bay.
SIGN    Hakuryu
SIGN    Seido
SIGN    Top of the Fourth
    One Out, Runner on First
[04:19] Narrator
    Seido's starting pitcher Sawamura
    is using his outstanding ball control
[04:23] Narrator
    to avoid giving Hakuryu any chances.
[04:26] Narrator
    Both pitchers have gone
    blow-for-blow in the early innings.
[04:33] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[04:38] _Fan
    Man, they're holding off Hakuryu!
[04:41] _Fan
    And it isn't even Furuya pitching!
[04:42] _Fan
    Who the heck is that pitcher?
[04:44] @Sawamura
    Kane!
[04:45] @Kanemaru
    Sawa!
[04:46] @Tojo
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[04:59] int_Ito
    He hit that pitch into fair territory...
[05:03] int_Ito
    And these guys are barely reacting
    to the outside sliders.
[05:07] int_Ito
    Is that their strategy?
[05:26] @int_Furuya
    It's like my belly is on fire,
[05:29] @int_Furuya
    or like my blood is boiling.
[05:33] @int_Furuya
    This is the tension I can only feel
[05:37] @int_Furuya
    against a strong opponent.
[05:45] @int_Furuya
    I want to stand there!
[05:51] @int_Furuya
    On that mound!
[05:55] @Yui
    It hit the fence!
[05:57] _Fan
    That was a hard hit between the
    right and center fielders!
[05:58] _Fan
    He's a monster!
[06:00] _Fan
    He's even a good batter!
[06:05] _Fan
    He's going for third!
[06:06] _Fan
    He's crazy!
[06:09] _Fan
    He's out!
[06:13] _Umpire
    Out!
[06:14] _Umpire
    Three outs! Change!
[06:19] @Sawamura
    Furuya, why are you letting
    the other team influence you?!
[06:23] @Sawamura
    That was too greedy and reckless!
[06:26] Takashima
    That decision...
[06:28] Takashima
    It's like Furuya-kun's mind is racing.
[06:36] @Sawamura
    You're being overconfident
    about your running!
[06:38] @Kominato
    Let's switch gears.
[06:43] @Kataoka
    Aso, you're on the field this inning!
[06:59] Seki
    See?
[07:04] Aso
    Okay! Let's go, guys!
[07:07] Aso
    I've got left field covered!
[07:09] Yamaguchi
    Wow, check out his scrub aura.
[07:11] Seki
    Yep.
[07:23] @Kataoka
    That was a big opening against a pitcher
    we've struggled with since the first inning.
[07:29] @Kataoka
    Knowing how well this
    team fields and throws,
[07:31] @Kataoka
    I don't know what you thought
    you'd gain by pushing so hard.
[07:38] @Kataoka
    Day in and day out,
    they've trained how to run bases
[07:40] @Kataoka
    and accurately assess the situation.
[07:44] @Kataoka
    Hakuryu does not run bases
[07:46] @Kataoka
    with all-or-nothing gambles like you did.
[07:51] @Kataoka
    There is no shortcut to glory.
[07:56] @Kataoka
    The team does not need plays that
    mistake aggressiveness for arrogance.
SIGN    Top of the Fifth
[08:12] Higasa
    Wow, Aso!
[08:13] Seki
    Yeah!
[08:17] @Kuramochi
    You were at the right place.
[08:21] Aso
    They didn't seem like they
    could hit deep to left field.
[08:24] Aso
    I'm not just sitting on
    the bench to look pretty!
[08:27] @Sawamura
    Nice, Aso-senpai!
[08:30] Seki
    See? He latches on to
    some unusual things, right?
[08:42] _Umpire
    Out!
[08:44] _All
    Yeah!
[08:47] int_Coach
    Seven outside, four inside, two changeups.
[08:52] int_Coach
    The ball's speed at the beginning
    and end of each pitch
[08:55] int_Coach
    and the difference in the rotational axis
[08:57] int_Coach
    changes very slightly.
[08:59] _Fan
    Hey, they're not just unable to run,
[09:02] _Fan
    they can't even get on base!
[09:04] _Fan
    That pitcher's flying through his innings.
[09:07] @Sawamura
    People of Gunma!
[09:09] @Sawamura
    This is Haruichi Kominato!
[09:11] @Sawamura
    Thanks for your support!
[09:13] @Kominato
    Knock that off!
[09:14] _Fan
    He's got a loud mouth, though.
[09:16] @Yui
    There he is,
    calling for attention again.
[09:19] Higasa
    Sawamura!
[09:20] Yamaguchi
    Get back over here!
[09:22] Seki
    Yeah!
SIGN    Hakuryu
    Seido
[09:39] _Umpire
    Ball!
[09:42] int_Ito
    They really aren't swinging at the sliders.
[09:46] int_Ito
    Then we can pound the strike zone
    with it to run up the count.
[09:52] _Umpire
    Strike!
[09:54] @Sawamura
    Kanemaru!
[09:55] @Sawamura
    More hips!
[09:56] @Sawamura
    Hit with your hips!
[09:59] @Miyuki
    They're starting to switch up their sequence.
[10:03] @Miyuki
    The battery probably thinks
    we won't swing at any sliders.
[10:12] @Kataoka
    Then the time is right.
[10:14] @Kataoka
    We'll start swinging at
    their sliders next inning.
SIGN    Hakuryu
    Seido
[10:22] Coach
    We've only had five hits so far in this game.
[10:26] Coach
    He throws unique pitches to all four corners
[10:30] Coach
    and stays in control on the mound,
    even with runners on base.
[10:34] Coach
    He doesn't flinch at our base running.
    Let us acknowledge his skill as a pitcher.
[10:43] Coach
    Given that, what can we do about him?
[10:48] Coach
    After the Invitational,
    we've focused on improving our batting,
[10:53] Coach
    and developing a new brand of Hakuryu baseball
    that takes our running game to another level.
[11:00] @int_Sawamura
    He's crowding the plate.
[11:04] @int_Miyuki
    He's using the long handle.
[11:07] @int_Miyuki
    And he's good at fouling pitches off.
[11:10] @int_Miyuki
    Is he trying to ignore the inside pitches
    and wait for an outside pitch?
[11:17] int_Coach
    Start by making them think
    about what you'll do,
[11:21] int_Coach
    all while keeping our strategy very simple.
[11:27] int_Coach
    Once the pitch you want comes...
[11:30] int_Coach
    give a decisive swing!
[11:33] _Fan
    Near right field!
[11:38] int_Coach
    Given your aggressive calls
    in tight situations,
[11:41] int_Coach
    we knew you would ask for an inside pitch.
[11:46] _Fan
    There's a runner on first
[11:48] _Fan
    and Soichiro Mima is up to bat!
[11:50] _Fan
    Mima! Mima!
[11:52] _Fan
    Mima! Mima!
[11:54] _Fan
    Mima! Mima!
[11:56] _Fan
    Mima! Mima!
[11:58] _Reporter
    This is his third at-bat.
[12:05] @Sawamura
    That's huge!
SIGN    That's huge!
[12:06] @Sawamura
    That's the biggest lead yet!
SIGN    That's the biggest lead yet!
[12:09] @Kominato
    You're shouting too loud!
[12:13] @int_Miyuki
    Even this guy is crowding the plate.
[12:16] @int_Miyuki
    It looks like they're trying to rattle us
    from the batter's box as well as the bases.
[12:26] @int_Sawamura
    With a runner on base?
[12:27] @int_Sawamura
    If he runs with that lead...
[12:30] @int_Miyuki
    Don't worry.
[12:32] @int_Miyuki
    Taking a lead that large
    poses obvious risks.
[12:36] @int_Miyuki
    It's just a fake-out.
    He'll run back to the base.
[12:44] @int_Sawamura
    He went back as soon as I moved.
[12:50] _Umpire
    Ball!
[12:53] @int_Miyuki
    An open stance.
[12:55] @int_Miyuki
    He's waiting for an inside pitch.
[12:59] int_Coach
    You knew the runner would go back
    to the base and threw a changeup.
[13:03] int_Coach
    And you figured out
    what pitch we're waiting for.
[13:08] @int_Miyuki
    Now, the next pitch...
[13:27] @int_Miyuki
    He's standing in his usual position.
[13:31] _Player
    That's the stance he doesn't normally use
    because people say he's copying Ichiro.
[13:36] _Player
    He still ends up doing it
    when he's extremely focused.
[13:41] int_Coach
    Soichiro, is your instinct telling you
    to take this battery head-on?
[13:48] @int_Miyuki
    It would be easier for us if
    he was batting for the team.
[13:53] @int_Miyuki
    I don't think the high inside pitch we
    got him out with last time will work.
[13:59] @int_Miyuki
    If we sprinkle in the numbers with
    fastballs to get him out of position...
[14:12] _Umpire
    Foul!
[14:16] _Umpire
    Foul!
[14:24] _Umpire
    Ball!
[14:32] @int_Miyuki
    He's staying perfectly balanced
    even as we paint the corners.
[14:37] @int_Miyuki
    In that case...
[14:43] @int_Miyuki
    We don't need to hold back!
[14:52] @int_Sawamura
    Number 7!
[14:54] @int_Sawamura
    The improved cutter!
[15:03] _Umpire
    Foul!
[15:07] @Yui
    He made contact on the improved cutter!
[15:15] @int_Sawamura
    Oh, man!
[15:19] @int_Sawamura
    If the ball goes even halfway
    too close, he'll knock it flying.
[15:23] @int_Sawamura
    He definitely will!
[15:27] @Maezono
    Looking good, Sawamura!
[15:29] @Maezono
    Stay aggressive!
[15:31] @int_Sawamura
    This guy's crazy!
[15:35] _Umpire
    Ball!
[15:37] @int_Miyuki
    You're forcing it.
[15:39] @int_Miyuki
    Stay calm.
[15:43] @int_Miyuki
    It's not every day you
    face a batter like this.
[15:47] @int_Miyuki
    That's why it's worth it to hit him
    with everything you've got!
[16:01] @int_Miyuki
    Half-hearted pitches won't
    strike this guy out.
[16:06] @int_Miyuki
    It's a little premature to use
    this pitch, but it's worth a try.
[16:13] @int_Miyuki
    Unleash Number 11, the splitter!
[16:32] @Yui
    The count is three balls, two strikes.
[16:35] @Yui
    The runner will make his move.
[16:38] @Yui
    We want to avoid the extra-base hit.
[16:54] _Umpire
    Ball four!
[16:57] _Fan
    Man, he got walked.
[16:59] _Fan
    Did Mima get the better of them?
[17:01] _Fan
    Now there are no outs,
    with runners on first and second.
[17:05] @int_Yui
    What was that?
[17:07] int_Coach
    Did that pitch drop?
[17:11] int_Coach
    So there are more breaking balls
    that pitcher hasn't thrown yet.
[17:16] _Player
    Was that a forkball?
[17:17] Mima
    Probably.
[17:19] Mima
    It looked like he was pinching it.
[17:22] @int_Sawamura
    Damn, I forced it.
[17:24] @int_Sawamura
    I was too eager to get a strike!
[17:27] @Miyuki
    Sawamura, next is the cleanup!
[17:31] @int_Miyuki
    We hadn't practiced that pitch much anyway.
[17:33] @int_Miyuki
    Don't worry about it.
[17:37] @int_Miyuki
    The long handle...
[17:40] @int_Miyuki
    Crowding the plate...
[17:46] @int_Miyuki
    This is the first pitch after a walk.
[17:48] @int_Miyuki
    He's going to be swinging.
[17:51] @int_Miyuki
    I want to see what he'll do.
[17:53] @int_Miyuki
    I don't need a strike.
[17:57] @int_Sawamura
    This is the first pitch after a walk...
[18:00] @int_Sawamura
    I can't throw a meatball.
[18:03] @int_Miyuki
    Let's start with a ball!
[18:04] @int_Sawamura
    Just on the edge!
[18:08] @int_Miyuki
    In the strike zone?!
[18:12] _Fan
    Near right field!
[18:16] @Maezono
    Back home!
[18:24] _Umpire
    Out!
[18:31] Yamaguchi
    Yeah! Nice, Shirasu!
[18:33] Higasa
    Yeah!
[18:34] Yamaguchi
    That guy can throw strikes from the outfield!
[18:36] Yamaguchi
    The white laser!
[18:38] Higasa
    A modest flex!
[18:41] _Fan
    The Seido fielders are good.
[18:43] _Fan
    They're well-trained.
[18:45] _Fan
    So is that batter.
    He promptly moved up to second.
[18:48] @Miyuki
    My bad. I should have said I
    wanted it further outside.
[18:52] @Sawamura
    Sorry, I was too eager for a strike.
[18:56] @Miyuki
    Runners on second and third.
[18:58] @Miyuki
    Let's switch gears.
[18:59] @Sawamura
    Yes, sir!
[19:01] @int_Kataoka
    The third-base runner is Mima.
[19:03] @int_Kataoka
    He'll run on a grounder,
    and they might try a squeeze play.
[19:08] @int_Kataoka
    Infielders, play in.
[19:11] @int_Kataoka
    Second base and shortstop,
[19:12] @int_Kataoka
    be ready to throw the ball home.
[19:16] @int_Kataoka
    Outfielders, don't let the
    second-base runner make it home.
[19:21] @Tojo
    Sawamura, one out!
[19:24] @int_Aso
    Come on, let me show off!
[19:27] @Kuramochi
    Stay aggressive, Sawamura!
[19:29] @Kominato
    Make him hit it here!
[19:30] bg_All
    Keep it going, Sawamura!
[19:32] bg_All
    Eijun-kun!
[19:34] @int_Sawamura
    These guys have my back,
[19:38] @int_Sawamura
    so why am I still thinking
    about that last play?
[19:49] @int_Sawamura
    What's important is the next pitch.
[19:55] @int_Sawamura
    One moment can decide the outcome.
[20:01] Seki
    The runners aren't moving!
[20:02] Yamaguchi
    They're doing a safety squeeze!
[20:05] @int_Sawamura
    One pitch can decide it!
[20:10] _Umpire
    Foul!
[20:16] int_Ito
    It's the middle innings, and his
    pitches aren't slowing down.
[20:19] int_Ito
    They actually seem sharper.
[20:22] @int_Miyuki
    He's pitching without hesitation.
[20:28] @int_Miyuki
    He's choking up on the bat.
[20:32] int_Ito
    Ono is pitching so patiently.
[20:35] int_Ito
    I'm his partner, so I
    want to get a run for him.
[20:39] int_Ito
    I want to get Mima home.
[20:47] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Get a deeper knowledge of every play
[20:50] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    and learn why you throw each pitch.
[20:53] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    That's what I need from you.
[21:04] _Fan
    A tough to hit inside pitch!
[21:06] _Fan
    This battery is really aggressive!
[21:08] @int_Yui
    The more risk involved, the bolder they play.
[21:11] @Kanemaru
    Nice pitch! Looking good, Sawamura!
[21:17] @int_Miyuki
    He's focusing on the inside.
[21:19] @int_Miyuki
    We'll finish him with an outside pitch.
[21:26] @int_Sawamura
    I want to catch up.
[21:29] @int_Sawamura
    To help our team...
[21:32] @int_Sawamura
    achieve victory!
[21:36] @int_Sawamura
    I want to get closer...

    It doesn't matter how well you

[23:57] @Furuya
    If you lose, it's over.

    I don't want to let anyone take it.

    This is my place!
