[00:01] Ku
    Stupid.
[00:02] Ku
    We were starting
    to acknowledge your abilities,
[00:06] Ku
    but it looks like we'll put that on hold.
[00:13] Ma
    We were all starting to think
    you've become pretty reliable.
[00:18] Ma
    Pitch with confidence!
SIGN    Seido
    Oya
[00:21] Mi
    Bottom of the sixth and
    runners on first and second.
[00:25] Mi
    We're only up by one run.
[00:28] Mi
    Their cleanup, Kasuga, is up.
[00:33] Mi
    This is the best opportunity
    they've had since the first inning.
[00:39] Mi
    Let's defend it, Sawamura.
[00:42] O1
    I'll score with my bat.
[00:46] Ka
    He bunted in the first inning.
[00:51] Ma
    The runners might try something, too.
[00:54] Mi
    Use the corner spaciously,
[00:56] Mi
    and give me a low pitch.
[00:58] Mi
    Low and outside.
[01:00] Mi
    It's the most effective pitch
    against batters who swing early.
SIGN    Zeal
[02:55] Um
    Foul!
[02:58] Sa
    That was close!
[03:05] O1
    Thanks.
[03:07] Mi
    It was a little high,
[03:09] Mi
    but he reacted to the outside pitch.
[03:12] Mi
    I guess they're not all trying
    to pull every pitch.
[03:17] OC
    Kasuga and Yamazato.
[03:20] OC
    These two had their own style already.
[03:25] OC
    I didn't need to teach them
    from the ground up like the others.
[03:30] OC
    I told them to hone their own styles
[03:34] OC
    and become batters
    who'll be feared by strong teams.
[03:39] OC
    I've set their bars high.
[03:46] Um
    Foul!
[03:48] S1
    He reacted to the high and inside, too.
[03:51] S2
    That batter's good.
[03:53] C1
    Maybe his pitches have gotten slower.
[03:55] C2
    I wonder if he's tired.
[03:59] M1
    He's only at 56 pitches in the sixth inning.
[04:05] C1
    Another inside!
[04:08] S1
    Two insides in a row.
[04:10] S2
    So they'll finish with an outside?
[04:12] S3
    But that batter's reacting well to fastballs.
[04:16] S4
    If Sawamura had a breaking ball or something,
[04:19] S4
    he could really step up his game.
[04:24] (Flashback) Mi
    Chris-senpai.
[04:26] (Flashback) Mi
    We're playing Oya this Sunday.
[04:29] (Flashback) Mi
    If you're free, could you come watch?
[04:33] (Flashback) Mi
    Sawamura's starting,
[04:35] (Flashback) Mi
    and he's grown a lot
    after overcoming the yips.
[04:40] (Flashback) Mi
    If the pitch we're working on
    works at the game,
[04:43] (Flashback) Mi
    he might get on the same level as Furuya.
[04:48] (Flashback) Ch
    This is rare.
[04:50] (Flashback) Ch
    You're giving him a lot of praise.
[05:03] Oc
    This is it.
[05:05] Oc
    If he can pitch the
    breaking ball right here,
[05:09] Oc
    he'll be a reliable pitcher.
[05:15] Ku
    Sawamura, let's go!
[05:16] Ma
    You've got him cornered! Let's go!
[05:19] Ka
    Pitch to contact!
[05:20] Ha
    Focus on the batter!
[05:25] Sa
    I'm shivering?
[05:26] Sa
    No, my heart's racing.
[05:30] Sa
    Am I excited?
[05:31] Sa
    Am I scared?
[05:33] Sa
    What is this feeling?
[05:36] Sa
    It feels so good to have
    people counting on me.
[06:00] Um
    Strike!
[06:02] Um
    Batter out!
SIGN    Seido Oya
SIGN    Batting fifth and right fielder, Yamazato-kun.
[06:21] C1
    He popped it!
[06:28] S1
    Yes!
[06:29] S2
    He didn't concede any runs
[06:32] S2
    after having two runners with one out!
[06:34] S3
    Sawamura, way to go!
[06:35] Sa
    Let's go!
[06:37] SS
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
SIGN    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[06:40] SS
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
SIGN    Seido Oya
[06:43] Sa
    That's my chant!
SIGN    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[06:45] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[06:46] Ha
    Are you trying to take it back?
[06:48] R2
    With a one-run lead for Seido,
[06:52] R2
    the game goes into the final phase.
[06:55] O1
    Damn.
[06:56] O1
    The change-up keeps crossing my mind!
[06:58] O2
    Were they hiding it all this time?
[07:01] O3
    Was this their plan from the beginning?
[07:12] Go
    It's too soon to say that.
[07:15] Go
    It might've just been a fluke.
[07:19] O4
    Fluke?
[07:21] Go
    I've been winging a few things, too.
[07:24] Go
    Let's not overestimate their pitcher.
[07:28] O1
    Go-chan.
[07:33] O2
    That's true.
[07:34] Go
    Right?
[07:36] OC
    This is something he's born with.
[07:40] OC
    People tend to lose hope
[07:42] OC
    in close games because of
    our limited practice time.
[07:46] OC
    Many players can't overcome
    the confidence of the best teams,
[07:52] OC
    but Wakabayashi doesn't show it.
[07:57] OC
    This is how you get your team's trust.
[08:01] O1
    We still have three innings!
[08:03] O2
    Let's get it back!
[08:04] O3
    Yeah!
[08:06] Go
    Let's go!
[08:10] Go
    I can't lose heart.
[08:13] Go
    I chose this path myself.
[08:16] Go
    I may have had the choice
    to test myself at a private school.
[08:24] T1
    They're leading by a run
    with the game approaching its end.
[08:27] T1
    They haven't changed
    their style in coming to nationals.
[08:31] T1
    Will Oya High School prove the strength
[08:33] T1
    of a public institution here at nationals?
[08:37] Go
    But the team I saw that day...
[08:41] Go
    ...drew me in more than
    any other team I'd seen before.
[08:59] Sa
    Let's go!
[09:03] Go
    A scholarly athlete.
[09:05] Go
    I thought it was a dumb phrase
    adults made up,
[09:11] Go
    but it's really kept
    my days busy and fulfilling.
[09:16] Go
    We don't practice nearly as much,
[09:19] Go
    but...
[09:24] Go
    ...that doesn't mean...
[09:27] Go
    ...we like baseball any less!
[09:30] C1
    Right for shortstop!
[09:32] Um
    Out!
[09:34] C2
    Three for three!
[09:36] C3
    Nice work, Wakabayashi!
[09:38] O1
    Nice pitch, Go-chan!
[09:40] O2
    Nice pitch!
[09:40] O3
    You pull through when it counts!
[09:42] O4
    You're the man!
[09:47] Ot
    He's good.
[09:49] Mi
    We knock them down,
    and they get right back up.
[09:51] Mi
    They're really resilient.
[09:54] Mi
    Let's get the first batter out to get rolling.
[10:01] Sa
    I can't...
[10:07] Sa
    I can't wait to stand on the mound again.
SIGN    Seido Oya
SIGN    Batting first in the bottom of the seventh
SIGN    is the sixth batter and center fielder, Kato-kun.
[10:24] Um
    Strike!
[10:29] Um
    Strike two!
[10:38] Um
    Strike!
[10:39] Um
    Batter out!
[10:40] S1
    Way on the outside!
[10:41] S2
    Swing and miss!
[10:43] S3
    Yes! Yes!
[10:45] Yu
    His ins and outs are perfect.
SIGN    Batting seventh and third baseman, Ito-kun.
[10:53] O1
    He didn't use the change-up
    against the lefties.
[10:58] O1
    Maybe Go-chan was right,
    and it was just a fluke.
[11:02] O1
    I'll just focus on the fastball.
[11:13] Um
    Strike!
[11:16] R1
    Incredible.
[11:17] R1
    His timing was way off.
[11:19] R2
    If they focus on the fastball
    and he throws the change-up,
[11:23] R2
    they can't do anything.
[11:25] R2
    It's exactly what Seido wants.
[11:29] R2
    I bet Miyuki-kun enjoys catching for him.
[11:34] Um
    Strike!
[11:37] S1
    You've got him cornered!
[11:39] S2
    He's on a roll.
[11:41] R2
    Just one breaking ball made
    the biggest difference for this pitcher.
[11:49] Um
    Strike!
[11:50] Um
    Batter out!
[11:55] S1
    T-Two strikeouts in a row!
SIGN    Seido Oya
SIGN    Batting eighth and left fielder, Maki-kun.
[12:13] C1
    That change-up is really hurting.
[12:16] C2
    The batters can't find a pitch to focus on.
[12:28] Um
    Foul!
[12:30] C1
    A bunt on the first pitch?
[12:31] C2
    It's two outs.
[12:32] C3
    They're trying something new.
[12:34] C4
    It's better than getting struck out, but...
[12:40] C5
    It just means Oya's really got their hands full
[12:43] C5
    with the first-year pitcher.
[12:49] O1
    Damn. It moves a lot.
[12:58] Um
    Strike!
[12:59] Um
    Batter out!
[13:01] S1
    Way on the outside!
[13:02] S2
    He couldn't even react!
[13:06] S3
    H-He got three strikeouts in a row!
[13:09] S4
    Seriously?
[13:10] S5
    Wow!
[13:11] S6
    This is unreal.
[13:13] S6
    He's a different person!
SIGN    Wamura!
SIGN    Oh! Kanemaru!
[13:17] Ka
    Wamura!
[13:18] Sa
    Oh! Kanemaru!
[13:21] S1
    He's surprised by it, too.
[13:25] Mi
    Oya's overly distracted by the change-up,
[13:29] Mi
    but this kind of dominance
    is a first for Sawamura.
[13:33] Ku
    I'll give it to you this inning.
[13:36] Ma
    Just so you know!
[13:38] Ma
    I always knew you could do it!
[13:41] Sa
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
SIGN    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[13:43] CC
    Yes! Yes! Yes!
SIGN    Yes! Yes! Yes!
[13:44] Ha
    He's got the crowd shouting back?
[13:47] S1
    Two innings left.
[13:49] S1
    He just might pitch until the end.
[13:52] Ch
    Maybe.
[13:53] Ch
    Kawakami's getting ready, though.
[13:56] Ch
    So it depends on his pitch count.
[13:58] S1
    I'll be impressed if he does it.
[14:03] S2
    Nice pitch, Sawamura.
[14:04] S3
    Nice pitch!
[14:41] C1
    I-It's gone!
[14:44] C2
    Home run!
[14:45] S1
    Yeah!
[14:48] S2
    A-Are you serious?
[14:50] S3
    Wow!
[14:51] S4
    Isn't that a wooden bat?
[14:54] C1
    Wakabayashi was pitching really well,
[14:56] C1
    but that one really hurt there.
[14:59] Sa
    Harucchi...
[15:01] Sa
    He...
[15:02] Sa
    All for me.
[15:04] To
    That timing was perfect.
[15:06] To
    It went far.
[15:07] Ka
    I bet he's red as a tomato.
[15:11] S1
    The score's 4-2 now!
[15:12] S1
    Seido's up by two!
[15:16] Mi
    That was a really clean arc.
[15:18] Mi
    Were you going for it?
[15:19] Ha
    Well, I didn't think it'd go over.
[15:22] S1
    He can hit long, too, huh?
[15:24] S1
    That's cool!
[15:28] R2
    A little high in the middle.
[15:30] R2
    It was an uncommonly easy pitch,
    coming from Wakabayashi-kun.
SIGN    Batting fourth and catcher, Miyuki-kun.
[15:40] R2
    Was he too focused on the next batter?
[15:44] R2
    Or was he not expecting
    anything long from him?
[15:51] (Flashback) Oc
    To be blunt, you're not strong enough.
[15:53] (Flashback) Oc
    You're too weak to use a wooden bat.
[16:01] O1
    Go-chan, switch gears.
[16:03] O2
    One out!
[16:05] RC
    Oya hasn't found a way to score yet.
[16:10] RC
    That run was really big.
[16:13] RC
    It might've crushed their confidence.
[16:15] RC
    But I have to say,
    that southpaw really grew fast.
[16:21] RC
    He pitched at a good tempo,
    and it carried over to the batting.
[16:25] RC
    He influences the team
    in a positive manner.
[16:30] RC
    With a player like him,
    the team will get better.
[16:36] Sa
    Don't get carried away
    because of just one home run!
[16:38] Ha
    I won't.
[16:42] RC
    Their team last fall grew every game, too.
[16:46] RC
    He builds a strong team every year.
[16:50] RC
    He's quite the coach, despite his young age.
[16:55] RC
    But Maki's had a change of heart
[16:58] RC
    since his loss this summer.
[17:01] RC
    He's gotten even bigger since then.
[17:05] RC
    By that, I don't mean he's gotten taller.
[17:12] R1
    Yosuke!
[17:13] R1
    Let's get moving soon.
[17:15] R1
    The six-hole hit an RBI for another run.
[17:18] R2
    I guess that means Seido wins.
[17:21] R3
    Wait. Furuya's not pitching, right?
[17:23] R4
    They have Kawakami, too.
    And did you see Sawamura?
[17:27] R4
    Seido's like the land of pitchers now.
[17:31] Ma
    It doesn't matter how many pitchers you have.
[17:37] Ma
    Only one can stand on the mound.
[17:45] Ot
    I understand how you feel very clearly,
[17:47] Ot
    but let's keep it down today.
[17:49] Ot
    Okay, Furuya?
[17:50] ---
    Now, let's go!
[17:52] Ka
    Kawakami's getting ready, too.
[17:55] Ka
    Go as far as you can go.
[18:00] Yu
    He's walking out.
[18:03] S1
    The last inning, with a four-run lead.
[18:08] S2
    Looks like Sawamura's pitching until the end.
[18:28] Um
    Strike!
[18:31] Um
    Foul!
[18:57] Um
    Out!
[19:09] R1
    Those two make a great pair!
[19:13] R1
    Just one more out until
    Seido makes the semifinals.
[19:19] R1
    Oya has its back to the wall.
[19:23] R2
    Yeah.
[19:25] R2
    One more out.
[19:27] R2
    Will Seido end it here?
[19:31] R2
    Or will Oya come back?
[19:35] O1
    Right in the middle!
[19:47] Um
    Out!
[19:53] Um
    Game set!
[19:57] S1
    He took out the last batter with one pitch!
[20:00] S2
    He pitched until the end!
[20:02] S3
    We're in the semifinals!
[20:08] R2
    Only three hits in the game.
[20:10] R2
    The Oya players tried their best,
[20:13] R2
    but they couldn't figure him out until the end.
[20:18] R1
    I was surprised by
    his breaking ball and his reliability.
[20:22] R1
    He's really made remarkable progress.
[20:25] Sa
    Stand straight! Stand straight!
[20:27] Sa
    Stand straight!
[20:28] SS
    Good game!
[20:31] S1
    Nice game!
[20:32] S2
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[20:34] S3
    Let's go!
[20:36] S4
    Don't get cocky!
[20:43] Go
    Freaking private baseball school.
[20:45] Go
    Damn it.
[20:49] O1
    Go-chan.
[20:52] Go
    Don't say we played well.
[20:57] Go
    In the end,
[20:59] Go
    we just weren't good enough.
[21:03] O2
    Go-chan.
[21:06] O1
    Well played against Seido!
[21:09] O2
    Don't cry, Wakabayashi!
[21:11] Go
    Shut up.
[21:13] O3
    Nice game!
[21:14] Go
    Shut up.
[21:18] Go
    It doesn't matter how we played.
[21:20] Go
    A loss is a loss.
[21:22] Go
    We can't change that.
[21:30] Go
    I...
[21:31] Go
    ...wasn't good enough.
[21:38] Go
    I can't be satisfied by this loss.
[21:41] Go
    I need to improve.
