[00:01] R2
    After spring next year,
[00:06] R2
    he'll be ineligible to participate
    in high school baseball.
[00:15] (Flashback) Ka
    Go to the bullpen
[00:17] (Flashback) Ka
    to put some pressure on the other team.
[00:23] (Flashback) Ka
    Tanba.
[00:30] Sh
    The ace... is in the bullpen.
SIGN    Winner and Loser
[02:14] E1
    Are you serious?
[02:16] E1
    The ace this late?
[02:19] E2
    No way...
[02:20] E2
    Were they saving him
    this long from the start
[02:23] E2
    to make their move
    in the late-game?
[02:25] Sh
    No, that's impossible.
[02:29] Sh
    Having to switch out the first
    pitcher after just four innings
[02:32] Sh
    shouldn't be part of their plan.
[02:37] Sh
    But the southpaw first-year
    they were hiding...
[02:41] Sh
    ...was a real curveball.
[02:53] Um
    Out!
[02:56] Sa
    Yes!
SIGN    Akikawa  Seido
[03:08] E1
    Two outs! Two outs!
[03:09] E2
    Let's do this, Shun!
[03:11] E3
    Focus on the batter!
[03:15] E4
    One to the outside?
[03:18] Sh
    We don't need any balls.
[03:28] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
SIGN    Akikawa  Seido
[03:47] Ma
    Let's get the first batter!
[03:48] Is
    Sawamura, you've got this!
[03:50] Ku
    Pitch to contact!
[03:57] Mi
    It's fine if the ball
    control's a little off.
[03:59] Mi
    Come at a good pace.
[04:01] Mi
    Don't give them time to think.
[04:08] Um
    Out!
[04:10] E1
    Two outs already.
[04:12] E1
    And they still have two
    more pitchers they can use.
[04:24] E2
    One more run...
[04:27] E2
    But the one more run
    feels impossible to get.
[04:31] C1
    Three for three again?
[04:33] C2
    Why can't they hit his pitches?
[04:36] C3
    Isn't he only throwing fastballs?
[04:38] C4
    He throws at a good pace,
    and it feels good to watch.
[04:42] C4
    Though he acts a little dumb.
[04:44] C2
    What's that first-year pitcher's name?
[04:48] C3
    Eijun... Eijun Sawamura!
[04:53] C3
    Well, he's really good.
[04:56] Na
    Was Sawamura-kun always this good?
[04:59] Ha
    He's doing really well!
[05:04] Ka
    Nice pitch.
[05:05] Ch
    Nice pitching.
[05:07] Sa
    Wow!
[05:08] Sa
    The... The two big-shots
    of Seido just...
[05:14] Sa
    ...just complimented me!
[05:17] Mi
    You get carried away, 
    so I'm not saying anything.
[05:21] Ka
    Do you seriously plan
    to play past the ninth inning?
[05:26] Ka
    If you're seriously aiming
    for the nationals,
[05:30] Ka
    go get as many runs as you
    can before the game ends!
[05:38] PP
    Yes, sir!
SIGN    Seido High School has called  for a substitution.
SIGN    Replacing Number 8, Sakai-kun:
[05:55] E1
    They're bringing out a pinch hitter.
[05:57] E1
    They're making their move.
[06:00] Ha
    Let's have a good match.
[06:03] Sa
    Harucchi!
[06:05] Sa
    I'm right behind you!
[06:07] Sa
    Go crazy out there!
[06:12] Ka
    You just copied what I told you earlier.
[06:19] (Flashback) Ry
    During the game,
    don't just babysit Sawamura,
[06:22] (Flashback) Ry
    be ready to go anytime.
[06:24] (Flashback) Ry
    The coach uses the players
    who are doing well in practice.
[06:28] Ha
    Just like my brother said,
    the coach really used me.
[06:36] E1
    This guy...
[06:37] E1
    He's standing over the plate.
[06:40] E1
    Does he plan to get hit to get on base?
[06:44] Ku
    This isn't really like him.
[06:46] Ry
    Well...
[06:47] Ry
    He doesn't show his emotions much.
[06:50] Ku
    Yeah. He doesn't.
[06:52] Ry
    But...
[06:54] Ry
    When he stands on the field,
[06:57] Ry
    he does things I can't even think of doing.
[07:02] Ry
    What are you planning, Haruichi?
[07:07] Sh
    You use a wooden bat when metal
    bats are the standard in high school?
[07:13] Sh
    You must have a lot of
    confidence in your ability.
[07:17] Sh
    But...
[07:18] Sh
    How do you expect to hit an
    inside pitch standing like that?
[07:22] Sh
    Right to your knees!
[07:25] E1
    He opened his legs!
[07:27] E1
    He was aiming for
    this inside pitch...
[07:30] E1
    ...from the start!
[07:32] Sh
    Doesn't matter.
[07:33] Sh
    No matter how you hit
    it, it'll be a foul.
[07:42] Sa
    Yes!
[07:43] Sa
    A hit to the left field on the first pitch!
[07:46] Sh
    He can hit that pitch to the left?
[07:49] Sh
    Nice batting, Harucchi!
[07:52] Mi
    Yeung has confidence in his ball control,
[07:54] Mi
    which made him throw to the inside.
[07:56] Mi
    And he swung straight for it.
[07:59] Mi
    That takes a lot of talent.
[08:02] P1
    Hey, he's shyly pumping his fist!
[08:05] P2
    His face is red!
[08:09] Ry
    It's not easy...
[08:12] Ry
    ...when you have a younger
    brother like him.
[08:16] Sa
    I'm coming right after you, Harucchi!
[08:19] Sa
    I'll hit a huge one right here!
[08:23] Sa
    What?
[08:28] Sa
    Me? Bunt?!
[08:32] Ma
    Wow! Perfect!
[08:34] Ka
    Straight down the foul line.
[08:35] Ho
    Why is he so good at only bunts?
[08:38] P1
    Nice one, Bunt Master!
[08:40] P2
    You're the Kawai of Seido!
[08:43] Sa
    Why won't he let me hit?
[08:46] Ku
    Damn.
[08:47] Ku
    I hate how he doesn't even
    realize he's good at bunts.
[08:51] Ka
    Kuramochi!
[08:56] E1
    Shun, we got a free out.
[09:17] EC
    You're looking stiff, boys!
[09:18] EC
    Show some spirit!
[09:21] Sa
    Kuramochi, we don't need a big one!
[09:23] Sh
    Follow up cleanly!
[09:26] E2
    Shunshin!
[09:29] Fu
    Bottom of the seventh,
    one out and runner on second.
[09:31] Fu
    A great chance for a run.
[09:34] Fu
    Let's go.
[09:35] Ha
    Kuramochi-senpai...
[09:38] Re
    You've been completely
    shut down until now,
[09:42] Re
    but it's about time you did
    something, Kuramochi-kun.
[09:48] Ka
    Listen, everyone out there's
[09:50] Ka
    playing under a lot of pressure
    this late in the game.
[09:56] Ka
    Don't pop a fly, no matter what.
[10:00] Ka
    Smash it into the right.
[10:03] E1
    He pulled an outside pitch!
[10:06] E1
    I won't make third base.
[10:08] C1
    Kuramochi!
[10:09] C1
    Whoa, he's fast!
[10:10] C1
    I gotta hurry, or I won't...
[10:16] C1
    Oh, his hand slipped!
[10:18] C2
    Akikawa made an error!
[10:20] P1
    Finally, Kuramochi!
[10:22] P2
    Man, you're fast!
[10:24] P3
    One out, runners on first and third!
[10:25] Sa
    Yes!
[10:28] R1
    A lot of things could happen here.
[10:32] R2
    I wonder what play Seido will make.
[10:36] R1
    Their squeeze play was blocked
    by Yeung-kun in the fourth inning.
[10:43] E1
    He's not taking any lead.
[10:46] E1
    Does he not plan to run?
[10:52] E2
    He's stealing without a lead?
[10:53] Sh
    Don't throw it!
[10:57] Sa
    Wow! He's like a fish
    swimming in water!
[11:01] Sa
    Like a cheetah on the hunt!
[11:03] Sa
    Like a rat running for the cheese!
[11:05] Sa
    Or um, well, er...
[11:06] Mi
    You're trying way too hard.
[11:10] Sh
    This is fine.
[11:12] Sh
    I can focus on the batter more
    if he's standing still on second.
[11:17] EC
    You know, time out!
[11:19] EC
    Let's all gather
    around for a second.
[11:24] E1
    Sorry, Shun.
[11:26] E1
    I felt rushed and messed up.
[11:28] E2
    Don't worry about it.
[11:29] E3
    What's there to be so stiff about?
[11:32] E4
    We gotta play aggressively now!
[11:34] E4
    Let's do this, guys!
[11:36] E5
    Y-Yeah.
[11:42] Sh
    I'm going to pitch with
    full trust in your defense.
[11:51] E1
    Sh-Shun.
[11:55] Sh
    Will I get hit here and lose the game?
[11:59] Sh
    Or will I get out of this
    to wait for our chance?
[12:07] Sh
    This thrilling tension...
[12:11] Sh
    ...is what makes baseball so fun.
[12:14] Um
    Play!
[12:20] EC
    Shunshin.
[12:23] E1
    Shun.
[12:28] E2
    What a guy.
[12:40] Sh
    Squeeze?
[12:54] Sh
    S-Squeeze?
[13:02] Sa
    He threw it wide!
[13:03] Sh
    Catch it please, Sekiguchi!
[13:11] Ha
    Brother.
[13:17] Sh
    You can still hit that?
[13:25] Ma
    Yay!
[13:27] Ma
    Yes!
[13:28] Sh
    They got me. Damn it.
[13:36] E1
    Back home!
[13:37] E1
    Runner's heading for home!
[13:39] E2
    We can't give two runs on a squeeze!
[13:49] Um
    Safe!
[13:52] C1
    Wow! Two runs!
[13:54] C2
    That's some super-fast sliding!
[13:56] C3
    His speed is like cheating.
[13:59] E1
    S-Sekiguchi! Second base!
[14:03] P1
    Nice run!
[14:04] P2
    Nice run, Ryo-san!
[14:07] Sh
    One after another without any break...
[14:11] Ot
    Yeah! That's our one-two pair!
[14:16] Ch
    Nice run!
[14:18] Fu
    Welcome back.
[14:20] Sa
    Harucchi, you're the best!
[14:24] Sh
    Nice run, Kuramochi.
[14:26] Mi
    Though you got on base with an error.
[14:28] Ku
    It was a hit!
[14:33] Sh
    A high ability to adapt to any pitch,
[14:37] Sh
    and aggressive base-running
    performed as a team.
[14:44] Sh
    So this is the level of Japanese
    high school baseball.
[14:48] Is
    You idiot.
[14:51] Is
    We're nowhere near done.

    You're our ace closer.

    We're leading by a lot.

    Be sure to pitch your best
    until the end, Kawakami.
[15:58] Ka
    Until Tanba-san comes back to the mound,
[16:01] Ka
    I have to shut them all down.
[16:04] Ka
    No matter who they are.
[16:13] Um
    Strike!
[16:14] P1
    Nice one, Kawakami!
[16:16] P2
    Nice pitch!
[16:17] Ka
    Nori-senpai, nice pitch!
[16:19] P3
    You're our closer!
[16:23] Mi
    I was worried his
    mind would be tired
[16:25] Mi
    being on standby
    since the start,
[16:29] Mi
    but looks like he's really
    comfortable about relieving.
[16:35] Ka
    Yes.
[16:37] Ka
    Just gotta keep this up.
[16:39] Sh
    Stay calm, Sekiguchi!
[16:41] Sh
    Eyes on the ball!
[16:43] Mi
    Two outs, runner on second.
[16:45] Mi
    Yeung persevered and got on base,
[16:48] Mi
    but there's no one else
    on Akikawa who's a threat.
[16:56] E1
    Hey, don't cry!
[16:57] E1
    The game's not over yet!
[17:00] E1
    Don't give up until the end!

SIGN    Akikawa Seido
[18:22] R1
    The one- and two-holes
    sparked a fire in the seventh inning,
[18:24] R1
    and the Seido batters
    took off from there.
[18:28] R1
    Seven to two.
[18:30] R1
    In the end, Seido won
    by a large margin.
[18:34] ---
    Nice game!
[18:36] R1
    The difference in team strengths
    were definitely there,
[18:39] R1
    but a big factor in Seido's favor
[18:42] R1
    was how their two first-years
    lasted for seven innings.
