***SIGN*** Top of the fourth, one out and runners on first and third!
***SIGN*** Seido's looking to make a double play here.
***SIGN*** Seiko's down by five runs.
***SIGN*** Can their cleanup take some runs back?
**[00:20] Mi**
*After seeing him swing like that,*
**[00:23] Mi**
*I'd be scared, too.*
**[00:26] Mi**
*But you're not alone.*
**[00:38] Mi**
*Look at me!*
***SIGN*** The Resolve for Responsibility
**[02:27] Um**
Strike!
**[02:30] S1**
Low and away!
**[02:32] Ta**
He's relaxed and his form has improved.
**[02:35] Sa**
That's my pitch.
**[02:38] S1**
That was a good time-out.
**[02:41] Yu**
Looks like Furuya has calmed down.
**[02:43] YC**
*I told you he's impossible*
**[02:46] YC**
*once he starts pitching low.*
**[02:52] Ma**
Kuramochi!
**[02:54] Ku**
Furuya!
***SIGN*** There it is!
***SIGN*** A 3-6-1 double!
**[03:07] Oc**
Nice pitch.
**[03:09] YC**
No one can hit that pitch.
**[03:11] Ot**
All right!
**[03:14] Ha**
Nice cover, Furuya-kun.
**[03:15] Ma**
Nice cover!
***SIGN*** This pitcher is tough!
***SIGN*** Seiko fails to score yet again!
**[03:24] Ka**
That pitch was sick.
**[03:26] Ku**
Furuya, nice cover!
**[03:29] Ha**
You moved really quickly.
**[03:32] S1**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[03:33] S2**
Nice pitch!
**[03:38] Sa**
That was a magnificent play!
**[03:40] Sa**
Great defense, everyone!
**[03:43] C1**
Furuya looks good. He's improved.
**[03:46] C2**
Yeah, I'm excited for his future.
**[03:49] K1**
Sorry.
**[03:50] K1**
We could've really used a run.
**[03:52] K2**
Don't worry, Naga bro!
**[03:54] K3**
We'll get 'em next time.
**[03:56] K1**
Yeah, you're right!
**[03:58] K2**
That was a quick recovery.
**[04:00] Ma**
We'll get the runs.
**[04:02] Ma**
So pitch tenaciously!
**[04:04] K1**
Oh, I see.
**[04:06] Ma**
Huh?
***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[04:07] K1**
This is the game where I hit
the game-ending grand slam from behind.
**[04:12] Ma**
Too bad!
**[04:14] Ma**
We bat in the top of the innings, stupid.
**[04:24] S1**
Damn it!
***SIGN*** Batting first and shortstop, Kuramochi-kun.
**[04:30] C1**
Wait! He's batting left against a lefty?
**[04:33] C2**
Isn't Kuramochi a switch hitter?
**[04:38] Ku**
It's not because that
old man told me to bat left.
**[04:43] Ku**
* The screwball is good*
* against right-handed batters.*
**[04:47] K1**
If you ever lose confidence...
**[04:53] K1**
Just think about the happy, happy...
**[05:06] Um**
Out!
***SIGN*** Kuramochi goes down with a grounder to first,
***SIGN*** and it's two outs.
**[05:12] S1**
He pitched it even to a lefty.
**[05:15] S2**
Low and inside to a lefty.
**[05:18] S2**
He must have a lot of confidence in that pitch.
**[05:25] KC**
Good control.
**[05:27] KC**
If you can't pitch to both
left and right-handed batters,
**[05:32] KC**
you can't call it your best pitch.
***SIGN*** The screwball's looking sharp, and Seido goes down three for three!
***SIGN*** Tsunematsu Ogawa has completely killed Seido's momentum!
**[05:49] K1**
Fly over the sea and through the sky.
**[05:54] K1**
Run free like the wind.
***SIGN*** Meiji Jingu Baseball Stadium
**[06:00] Y1**
It's the fifth inning now.
**[06:02] Y2**
We should start heading to the stadium.
**[06:06] Y3**
Raichi, let's go!
**[06:09] I1**
Let's go, Kosei!
**[06:13] I2**
Coach Tahara.
**[06:14] I2**
Five runs up at the fifth inning.
**[06:16] I2**
Do you think Seido will take this?
**[06:20] IC**
I don't know.
***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[06:21] IC**
The score hasn't changed for a while,
**[06:24] IC**
so I can't tell who has the upper hand.
**[06:33] S1**
Okay!
**[06:41] C1**
Nice!
**[06:43] C2**
That's two outs!
**[06:45] R1**
They're not striking out, anymore.
**[06:48] R2**
But he's keeping his pitches low.
**[06:51] R2**
If he can pitch like this all nine innings,
**[06:54] R2**
he'll be more consistent.
**[07:01] Mi**
*He's relaxed now.*
**[07:02] Mi**
*If we can go three for three this inning,*
**[07:05] Mi**
*we'll take the game back.*
**[07:16] K1**
I hit it.
***SIGN*** It's gone!
***SIGN*** Home run!
**[07:33] K1**
Are you serious?
**[07:34] K2**
He's in the zone today!
***SIGN*** A huge hit off this monstrous pitcher!
***SIGN*** Is this the beginning of a comeback?
**[07:44] Mi**
*It was a bit high,*
**[07:46] Mi**
*but it wasn't home-run material.*
**[07:49] K1**
...leap over Earth.
**[07:51] C1**
Wow!
**[07:52] C2**
Where'd that come from?
**[07:53] K1**
Nice hit!
**[07:55] K2**
Only Nagashima-san
can skip after a home run!
***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[08:03] Sa**
It's over!
**[08:08] S1**
No problem!
**[08:09] S1**
Good pitch!
**[08:10] S2**
Let's move on!
**[08:13] Ma**
* The bottom of their order*
* can hit to the fence?*
**[08:18] S1**
*They're not losing to Furuya's power.*
**[08:21] K1**
So close, Iku-chan!
**[08:23] K2**
Next time!
**[08:25] S1**
*We can't let them get rolling.*
**[08:27] S1**
*They'll be unstoppable.*
**[08:29] Sa**
*Their swings have no hesitation.*
**[08:34] S1**
Nice pitch, Furuya!
**[08:40] Mi**
That last pitch was good.
**[08:44] Mi**
They can't hit your pitch
past the fence if it's that low.
**[08:47] Mi**
The important thing isn't to prevent every hit.
**[08:50] Mi**
It's what you do after they hit.
**[08:56] Mi**
You're starting to pitch like an ace.
***SIGN*** Ace!
**[09:11] Fu**
Ace!
***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[09:14] IC**
It's still the mid game.
**[09:16] IC**
Seiko's batters tend to score big
toward the late game.
**[09:22] IC**
I'm sure Seido wants
to expand the lead they have.
**[09:27] Oc**
We start with the third-hole this inning.
**[09:30] Oc**
We need to score here.
**[09:31] KC**
Tsunematsu's pitch is creating
a rhythm for their offense.
**[09:36] KC**
This is how it starts, Masu.
**[09:39] YC**
* Just go all out, so you'll be*
* tired when you play us.*
**[09:45] (Flashback) Ka**
That pitcher tends to start
with an inside pitch.
**[09:51] (Flashback) Ka**
Go for his first...
**[09:53] Ha**
*Fastball!*
**[09:59] S1**
Nice! Into left field!
**[10:02] S2**
Nice hit, Kominato!
**[10:05] S3**
Nice hit!
**[10:08] Oc**
*He broke his bat.*
***SIGN*** Batting fourth and catcher, Miyuki-kun.
**[10:17] Mi**
*His pitch has angle and weight.*
**[10:21] Mi**
* I saw his screwball from*
* Kuramochi's and Shirasu's at-bats.*
**[10:26] Mi**
*He has ins, outs, and change of pace.*
**[10:34] Mi**
*They make a good battery,*
**[10:36] Mi**
*but I can't let them do whatever they want.*
**[10:40] Mi**
* Furuya's become highly conscious*
* of his own pitching*
**[10:44] Mi**
* and has shown tenacity*
* in tight situations.*
**[10:47] Mi**
*He might become a true ace this game.*
***SIGN*** With a runner on first, Miyuki, the cleanup, is at bat!
**[10:59] Mi**
*If that's the case,*
**[11:00] Mi**
* it's my job as the cleanup*
* to give him the easiest time.*
**[11:24] C1**
That was close.
**[11:25] C2**
He hit the batter last time,
but he's still pitching close!
**[11:31] R1**
They haven't changed their plan.
**[11:32] R2**
They're being wary of Miyuki-kun,
but it's a bit rash.
**[11:37] Mi**
*Damn.*
**[11:39] Mi**
*Does he not care about hitting me?*
**[11:45] Ha**
*His slide step is fast.*
**[11:53] Um**
Ball four!
***SIGN*** Runners on first and second now!
**[11:58] C1**
Another base on balls?
**[12:00] C2**
Right after we got a run back!
**[12:03] Ma**
* I told you to pitch to the boundaries,*
* but I didn't tell you to walk him.*
***SIGN*** I told you to pitch to the boundaries, but I didn't tell you to walk him.
**[12:07] Mi**
*He didn't let me swing, at all.*
**[12:11] Mi**
*I can't quite read him.*
***SIGN*** Batting fifth and first baseman, Maezono-kun.
**[12:24] C1**
The five-hole's bunting?
**[12:33] Ma**
Oh, no!
**[12:34] Ma**
I messed up!
***SIGN*** An out at third!
***SIGN*** The bunt failed!
***SIGN*** Ogawa's quick reaction keeps Seido's runners at first and second!
**[12:44] Mi**
*He can move that fast despite being so big?*
**[12:49] Ha**
*This ridiculousness reminds me of someone.*
***SIGN*** This crazy guy
**[12:53] Sa**
Zono-senpai, all in the knees!
**[12:55] Sa**
You can't hit it with your arms!
**[12:57] Ma**
Thanks for the important advice!
**[13:00] K1**
Nice, Tsune!
**[13:01] K1**
One out!
**[13:02] K2**
The body moved on its own.
**[13:05] KC**
* Once it sticks to your body,*
* it'll save you one day.*
**[13:10] KC**
* I hope this helps him realize*
* the importance of daily fielding practice.*
**[13:16] KC**
*In terms of potential,*
**[13:18] KC**
*he's one of the best players I've trained.*
**[13:22] KC**
*He has what it takes to play professionally.*
**[13:27] KC**
*Does he have the heart?*
**[13:31] KC**
*Does he have the strength*
**[13:33] KC**
* to put in the tedious effort*
* instead of being spoiled by his talent?*
**[13:39] KC**
* Even if the other players advise him*
* or show him the way,*
**[13:43] KC**
*if he doesn't have the desire to improve,*
**[13:47] KC**
*he can't grow.*
**[13:50] Sa**
You're a batter before you're a pitcher!
***SIGN*** Runners on first and second at the bottom of the fifth!
***SIGN*** It's a duel between the two first-years defending the mound!
**[14:00] Sa**
If I possibly could,
**[14:02] Sa**
I would bat in your place.
**[14:06] Sa**
Why isn't the coach making the move?
**[14:07] Ta**
Furuya got a grounder last time.
**[14:11] Yu**
The screwball that drops away
from right-handed batters
**[14:14] Yu**
will be the key.
**[14:18] R1**
Could they try another bunt here?
**[14:21] R2**
It's possible, but the risk is too high.
**[14:25] R2**
Furuya-kun's a good batter, too.
**[14:29] Mi**
We wanted to get some points for you,
**[14:31] Mi**
but it looks like that's not happening.
**[14:34] Mi**
It's all in your hands now.
**[14:39] (Flashback) Mi**
You're starting to pitch like an ace.
**[14:47] (Flashback) Oc**
You can become the best pitcher in Japan.
**[14:56] Sa**
Just swing the bat!
**[14:58] Sa**
It won't hit if you don't!
**[14:59] Sa**
Just swing and pray!
**[15:02] Fu**
*I think about that moment every day.*
**[15:09] Fu**
*I won't give up the mound*
**[15:13] Fu**
*to anyone anymore.*
**[15:17] Fu**
*I'll be the ace*
**[15:19] Fu**
*and lead the team to nationals.*
**[15:24] S1**
His energy is intense.
**[15:27] S1**
He doesn't show it, but it's there.
**[15:34] K1**
*A crazy rookie in West Tokyo.*
**[15:38] K1**
* As the summer tournament progressed,*
* everyone kept talking about him.*
**[15:44] K1**
*Seido's monster rookie...*
**[15:50] K1**
*Satoru Furya.*
**[15:57] K1**
*The monster.*
**[15:59] K1**
*But really, that title...*
**[16:06] Um**
Strike!
**[16:08] K1**
*...should've been mine!*
**[16:11] K2**
Okay!
**[16:13] K2**
Nice, Tsune!
**[16:17] (Flashback) KC**
If you don't do all you can,
you'll regret it later!
**[16:23] (Flashback) Ma**
Don't ask for answers! Use your head!
**[16:25] (Flashback) Ma**
It's your life!
**[16:26] (Flashback) Ma**
It's up to you!
**[16:28] K1**
*Coach Kumakiri is scary,*
**[16:32] K1**
*and Masu-senpai is annoying.*
**[16:35] K1**
*I'd always just scoffed at everything they said,*
**[16:41] K1**
*but I'm starting to see what they meant.*
**[16:45] K1**
*"Do you have the resolve to carry the team?"*
**[16:50] K1**
*That's what it comes down to, right?*
**[16:55] K1**
*The resolve.*
**[17:12] Sa**
Run through!
***SIGN*** A double play!
***SIGN*** Three outs!
***SIGN*** The shortstop, Yamashita, makes a great play!
***SIGN*** The fielders stopped Seido from scoring!
**[17:30] Ma**
Hey.
**[17:31] Ma**
Don't make that face after their play.
**[17:34] Ma**
You're not playing baseball by yourself.
**[17:39] K1**
Tsune, did you see that?
**[17:41] K2**
Show some respect!
**[17:44] K3**
Aren't we reliable?
**[17:46] C1**
Nice, Yamashita!
**[17:48] C2**
Good save!
**[17:49] C3**
Good keystone combination!
**[17:51] Ma**
Everyone plays for the team,
**[17:54] Ma**
and the team plays to win.
**[17:57] Ma**
If we can't play as one,
we can't make nationals.
**[18:01] Ma**
That's the kind of place nationals are.
**[18:13] Ma**
What do you want?
**[18:15] K1**
I think I understand what
you've been saying for the first time.
**[18:20] Ma**
After all this time, this is the first?
**[18:22] K1**
I can finally relate.
**[18:26] Sa**
Switch gears, Furuya!
**[18:27] Sa**
It's disappointing, but that's
where you're at right now!
**[18:31] Sa**
Next time, I'll take—
**[18:36] S1**
Tojo.
**[18:38] S1**
Where's Furuya?
**[18:40] Ot**
Kudo and Watanabe.
**[18:42] Ot**
What's up?
**[18:44] S1**
Oh, I hope I'm wrong,
**[18:48] S1**
but I think his ankle's hurt again.
**[19:00] C1**
What's going on?
**[19:02] C1**
Their battery isn't out yet.
***SIGN*** We've momentarily paused the game due to a Seido injury.
***SIGN*** Thank you for your patience until the game resumes.
**[19:17] Ta**
An injury?
**[19:34] S1**
How is it?
**[19:36] Fu**
It's a lot easier to move like this.
**[19:40] Fu**
It just felt a little weird.
**[19:42] Fu**
It should be fine.
**[19:44] Mi**
*I thought we were being careful,*
**[19:47] Mi**
*but it's the same ankle again.*
**[19:50] Ka**
Considering your pitch count,
we shoud switch you out soon.
**[19:55] Ka**
We have a four-run lead,
**[19:57] Ka**
so if you push through and
make it worse for tomorrow,
**[20:00] Ka**
it would hurt the team more.
**[20:05] Fu**
The lead doesn't mean anything.
**[20:09] Fu**
That pressure.
**[20:14] Fu**
I can't walk off the mound right now.
**[20:30] Ku**
Let's get the first out!
**[20:31] Ma**
The first pitch is important.
**[20:33] Ka**
Pitch to contact, Furuya!
**[20:35] Ha**
Furuya-kun!
**[20:36] Ha**
We've got your back!
**[20:38] Sa**
Remember this, Furuya!
**[20:41] Sa**
There are two hungry wolves in the bullpen!
***SIGN*** Ignore
**[20:46] C1**
*I wonder where he's injured.*
**[20:49] C2**
*Is he okay?*
**[20:51] Oc**
*Is it his ankle again?*
**[20:54] Oc**
* It could be annoying*
* if it becomes a regular thing.*
***SIGN*** Seiko Seido
**[20:59] Ma**
We're only four runs down.
**[21:02] Ma**
Believe in everything we've done.
**[21:06] Ma**
We can catch them.
**[21:10] Ma**
Let's go to nationals
**[21:12] Ma**
with Coach Kumakiri.
**[21:20] Mi**
*There was a catch, but I'm surprised...*
**[21:24] Mi**
* ...that the coach put*
* Furuya back on the mound.*
**[21:28] Mi**
*Furuya didn't ask to keep pitching.*
**[21:32] Mi**
*He said it like no one else could do the job.*
**[21:41] Mi**
*Furuya is standing on the mound today*
**[21:46] Mi**
*with a different mindset.*
**[21:52] Mi**
*He's playing like a true ace.*
**[23:30] Oc**
Seido's being pressured
by Ogawa's powerful pitch.
**[23:33] Oc**
It's clear which team has more momentum.
**[23:37] Oc**
As Seiko slowly closes in on Seido,
**[23:40] Oc**
Furuya shows signs of fatigue.
**[23:42] Fu**
I can't walk off the mound right now.
**[23:45] Mi**
Furuya, you've been pitching past your limit.
**[23:48] Mi**
Next time on *Ace of the Diamond Season 2*:
The Ace's Instinct.
***SIGN*** The Ace's Instinct
**[23:51] Fu**
Let's win the national title!
