[00:04] _Umpire
    Out!
[00:06] @Sawamura
    Aso-senpai, nice throw to home!
[00:09] int_Kawakami
    Everyone knows how seriously
    Sawamura takes this.
[00:13] int_Yamaguchi
    That's why...
[00:14] int_Both
    ...we third-years...
[00:15] int_Higasa
    ...need to support him!
[00:19] @Seto
    Wow.
[00:20] @Yui
    This is the kind of team that has
    players of that caliber on the bench.
SIGN    Seiho
SIGN    Seido
[02:06] _Fan
    It hit the top of the fence!
[02:08] _Fan
    That huge homer has broken the deadlock!
[02:12] _Fan
    And he hit it off Akashi!
[02:23] @int_Yuki
    Oh, I know this one...
[02:26] @Sawamura
    Hey, what's going on?
    Why are you all sitting down?!
[02:29] @Sawamura
    That was a home run!
[02:30] @Sawamura
    We just took the lead!
[02:31] @Sawamura
    A first-year scored for the team!
[02:34] @Sawamura
    The least you could do is smile!
[02:36] @Sawamura
    Stand up, Haruichi! Kanemaru!
[02:38] @Sawamura
    What's the matter with you?!
[02:40] @Sawamura
    When did the team become so cold?!
[02:43] @Kominato
    Eijun-kun, over here.
[02:46] @Kanemaru
    Weren't you paying attention?!
[02:48] @Kuramochi
    Damn, Sawamura ruined it!
[02:51] Higasa
    Nice batting!
[02:53] Maezono
    Nice home run, Yuki!
[02:54] Aso
    Think you hit it far enough?!
[02:57] @Sawamura
    The silent treatment? What's that?
[03:02] @Kuramochi
    Who was supposed to tell Sawamura?
    He didn't get the message!
[03:05] @Kuramochi
    Now let's finish things at full throttle!
[03:08] _All
    Yeah!
[03:10] Maezono
    Let's see it, Yamaguchi!
[03:12] Higasa
    The pride of a third-year!
[03:14] Yamaguchi
    That guy really is something else.
[03:19] @int_Yamaguchi
    Seriously.
[03:21] @int_Yamaguchi
    But I can't let him hog all the glory!
[03:30] Akashi
    Sorry, I shouldn't have given up the second.
[03:33] Akashi
    Getting hit by a first-year
    sure does a lot of damage.
[03:37] Akashi
    I feel like I just got hit by a boomerang.
[03:41] Akashi
    I won't feel right until
    we get those runs back.
[03:45] _All
    Yeah!
[03:50] @Okumura
    Sawamura-senpai!
[03:54] @Okumura
    Their batters have nearly figured out
     the timing on your fastballs.
[03:58] @Okumura
    Let's start shifting to
    the numbers this inning.
[04:08] @int_Okumura
    I wasted a great chance
    and haven't gotten a hit this game.
[04:11] @int_Okumura
    I haven't been any help
    to the team at hitting.
[04:14] @int_Okumura
    At least in defense...
[04:17] @Okumura
    I'll catch whatever you throw.
[04:22] @Sawamura
    You're as sure as ever, enough to
    tell an upperclassman to leave.
[04:30] @Okumura
    You really want to discuss that now?
[04:34] @Sawamura
    It's a compliment, really!
[04:36] @Sawamura
    That surprised me, got me riled up,
    and put me on edge.

[04:44] @Sawamura
    Three innings left.
[04:47] @Sawamura
    We're in this together, partner.
[04:55] @int_Okumura
    Partner?
[04:57] ---
    Yeah.
[05:01] @int_Okumura
    What is with this guy?
[05:05] @Sawamura
    Okay, get your loincloth on straight!
[05:10] @int_Okumura
    What the heck?
[05:13] @Okumura
    I'm not wearing a loincloth.
[05:16] @Sawamura
    Actually, neither am I!
[05:18] @Sawamura
    Let's make it compression shorts instead!
[05:20] @Okumura
    You don't need to reword it.
[05:22] @Sawamura
    Okay, then don't talk back!
[05:25] @int_Okumura
    He's such a rollercoaster ride.
[05:29] @int_Okumura
    Damn.
[05:31] @int_Okumura
    I'm gonna help him, no matter what!
[05:50] (Flashback) @fb_Kataoka
    You lead the team.
[05:54] @int_Sawamura
    Even if that was just to
    motivate my simple mind,
[06:00] @int_Sawamura
    it made me happy.
[06:04] @int_Sawamura
    I want to live up to the team's expectations.
[06:11] @int_Sawamura
    I want to succeed more than ever today!
[06:26] @Kanemaru
    Yeah!
[06:27] Maezono
    You got the first batter out!
[06:29] Maezono
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[06:31] @Kanemaru
    One out!
[06:39] _Umpire
    Ball two!
[06:40] Tojo
    He's throwing quite a few balls.
[06:42] @Kanemaru
    He was having trouble with
    his control last inning,
[06:45] @Kanemaru
    but it looks even worse this inning.
[06:49] _Coach
    Another bounced pitch.
    That wasn't happening before.
[06:53] _Coach
    The battery is changing their pitch selection.
[06:58] int_Player
    That's the sign to hold back.
[07:03] _Umpire
    Ball four.
[07:06] _Player
    Yeah!
[07:07] _Fan
    Just a little bit off!
[07:11] @int_Okumura
    His pitches aren't bad, but the numbers
    aren't hitting the strike zone.
[07:16] int_Coach
    If he kept pitching like he did
    in the first half, I'd have given up...
[07:20] int_Coach
    but the pitcher has looked off
    since the last inning.
[07:25] int_Coach
    Let's make our attack slow and steady.
[07:29] @int_Okumura
    This team won't let any meatballs go.
[07:33] @int_Okumura
    This is the bottom of the order,
    but we have to stay on guard.
[07:43] _Umpire
    Ball!
[07:44] int_Sachiko
    He's only thrown ninety-one pitches.
[07:47] int_Sachiko
    That shouldn't be enough to tire him out.
[07:54] @int_Sawamura
    Damn, the ball's slipping away.
[07:56] @int_Sawamura
    I'm not able to control myself.
[07:58] @int_Okumura
    Is he forcing it? Is he tired?
[08:01] @int_Okumura
    I didn't think his ball control
    would fall apart like this.
[08:05] @int_Okumura
    Sawamura-senpai usually leads with strikes
    so he can get into a rhythm.
[08:10] @int_Okumura
    We can't go on like this.
[08:13] @int_Okumura
    Let's use a fastball to
    get back in the game.
[08:18] int_Coach
    They'll be wanting a strike about now.
[08:21] int_Player
    He gave the wait sign,
[08:24] int_Player
    but I can still swing, right?
[08:27] _Player
    Down the first base line!
[08:29] _Player
    Yeah! The runner made it to third!
[08:32] _Player
    There are runners on first and third,
     with only one out!
[08:33] _Fan
    Seiho's on the attack!
[08:35] _All
    Yeah!
[08:37] _Coach
    Good eye! He was thinking for himself.
[08:43] _Fan
    The second baseman and shortstop
    are moving in for a double play!
[08:47] @int_Okumura
    He's the ninth batter.
[08:48] @int_Okumura
    He's choking up on the bat.
[08:52] @int_Okumura
    He might try for a squeeze play.
[09:01] _Umpire
    Ball!
[09:03] Takashima
    They're shaking things up.
[09:05] @Ochiai
    They'll want to turn things
    around now, if they can.
[09:08] @Ochiai
    We need to be careful.
[09:13] Yamaguchi
    Steal!
[09:16] @int_Okumura
    He's moving already?!
[09:19] _Fan
    He swung!
[09:22] _Fan
    Over the second baseman and into right-center!
[09:24] _Fan
    The runner on third scores!
[09:26] _Fan
    And the runner on first advanced to third!
[09:29] _Player
    Yeah!
[09:30] _Player
    That's one run!
[09:32] _Fan
    The three batters in the bottom
    of the order all hit.
[09:34] _Fan
    They wanted to take the pressure of Akashi.
[09:37] _Fan
    This inning has been intense.
[09:39] _Fan
    Now it's the top of the order.
[09:42] _Fan
    With the game moving,
    both teams will be scoring.
[09:45] _Fan
    It's a critical time for the Seido battery.
[09:55] int_Ono
    The momentum is getting away from us.
[09:57] int_Ono
    They're not able to run up the count
    with the numbers,
[09:59] int_Ono
    which makes the fastballs
    easier to hit.
[10:03] int_Ono
    This is what makes the numbers so unpredictable.
[10:06] int_Ono
    If he can't control the fastballs,
    it's hard to control the numbers, too.
[10:11] @Ochiai
    With a first-year catcher
    making the calls,
[10:14] @Ochiai
    he's gone hard all game.
[10:17] @Ochiai
    But the energy he spent in the first half
    has now caught up to him.
[10:20] _All
    Yeah!
[10:24] @int_Yui
    It will be harder to make calls now.
[10:30] Kawakami
    Yui!
[10:32] Kawakami
    Let's go!
[10:46] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    I'm sorry. I withdraw my previous remarks.
[10:50] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    Let's put the erratic numbers on ice
[10:53] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    and face them with your fastballs
    since they're still effective.
[10:58] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    If you die, we all die.
[11:03] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    It's okay.
[11:06] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    I won't let you die alone.
[11:10] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    If you die, we all die.
[11:15] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    It's okay.
[11:18] (Flashback) @fb_Okumura
    I won't let you die alone.
[11:21] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    How many numbers are there?
[11:23] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Well, there are a lot we can't use.
[11:27] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    There are ones that change the spin
    or the angle of the wrist.
[11:31] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Some of them are plain filthy,
[11:33] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    but Sawamura just can't control them.
[11:36] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    That's why...
[11:38] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    I only have him throwing ones where
    his wrist is vertical, like for a fastball.
[11:42] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    Over the off-season, Sawamura's fastball
     gained speed and sharpness.
[11:45] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
    I think it's his greatest asset for now.
[12:00] @int_Sawamura
    An inside fastball.
[12:06] @int_Sawamura
    Well, since I can't hit the strike zone,
    you can't call for any numbers.
[12:13] @int_Sawamura
    But even in this pinch,
    you're being bold.
[12:17] @int_Sawamura
    I'm used to calls like that!
[12:24] _Coach
    A fastball's coming.
[12:26] _Coach
    If it drifts high, hit it!
[12:28] int_Player
    A infield grounder or a outfield fly
    would get us a run.
[12:33] int_Player
    Any hit will tie the game.
[12:35] @int_Sawamura
    Three innings left.
[12:38] @int_Sawamura
    Don't be timid.
[12:41] @int_Sawamura
    Stay aggressive!
[12:45] @int_Sawamura
    Even if they catch up, we're still tied!
[12:53] int_Player
    There it is! A fastball!
[13:04] _Fan
    He's out!
[13:06] _Fan
    The third-base runner couldn't move!
[13:08] _Player
    It jumped when it was close to my bat,
    despite how he's been pitching.
[13:11] _Fan
    That's two outs!
[13:13] @Kuramochi
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[13:15] Maezono
    That's the way!
[13:16] @Kominato
    Keep it going!
[13:21] @Okumura
    That's still only two outs.
[13:23] @Okumura
    Lose focus and we're dead.
    Don't forget that.
[13:27] @Sawamura
    Y-Yeah, I know!
[13:31] @Seto
    Wow, you called for an inside pitch, Koshu!
[13:35] Asada
    That was a bold pitch!
[13:37] Kukki
    For the guy crouching, too.
[13:39] Yamaguchi
    Infielders, back to regular positions!
    Get the closest out!
[13:42] Nakata
    Let's finish the inning!
[13:43] int_Coach
    If they're coming for us head-on,
    that suits us fine.
[13:47] int_Coach
    He's been throwing meatballs.
[13:50] int_Coach
    Hit one and put him out of his misery.
[13:52] _Player
    Come on!
[13:55] int_Player
    Raimu...
[13:58] int_Player
    Seiya...
[14:00] int_Player
    I'll get you up to bat!
[14:05] _Player
    That was close!
[14:09] Takashima
    He's aware of his surroundings.
[14:11] @Ochiai
    Yes, that's why that out
     was so significant...
[14:15] @int_Ochiai
    For the pitcher, as well as the catcher.
[14:20] @int_Okumura
    It was a little high,
    but faster than I expected.
[14:27] @int_Okumura
    This is how Sawamura-senpai battles.
[14:35] @int_Okumura
    His underlying power!
[14:41] Kukki
    Low and outside!
[14:43] Takashima
    He's coming back.
[14:45] Akashi
    He's recovered.
[14:49] int_Akashi
    When you can see the finish line,
[14:51] int_Akashi
    you can still get into the zone,
    no matter how tired you are.
[14:58] int_Akashi
    Is this guy getting that second wind?
[15:08] _Umpire
    Foul!
[15:09] @int_Yui
    A changeup?
[15:12] Maezono
    Yeah, two strikes!
[15:14] Maezono
    Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[15:15] Maezono
    Lookin' good! You're back!
[15:18] @int_Kuramochi
    Damn it.
[15:20] @int_Kuramochi
    Why am I not out there behind him?
[15:28] _Umpire
    Foul!
[15:29] @Kanemaru
    Good pressure! Good pressure!
[15:30] Ono
    Your pitches are looking good, Sawamura!
[15:33] @int_Kominato
    I've never felt so frustrated
    being on the bench!
[15:40] int_Ono
    Sawamura...
[15:42] Yamaguchi
    Get it to me! I'll stop it!
[15:44] Tojo
    Keep them guessing!
[15:46] @Kanemaru
    You've got two strikes! Don't rush!
[15:48] Maezono
    Time to play!
[15:50] Maezono
    Go get 'em, Sawamura!
[15:52] @Kuramochi
    Go, Sawamura!
[15:54] ---
    Finish 'em off, Sawamura!
[15:57] @int_Sawamura
    No matter how many times I stumble...
[16:00] (Flashback) fb_Umpire
    Dead ball!
[16:07] @int_Sawamura
    No matter how many times
    I disappoint them...
[16:11] @int_Sawamura
    I can still...
[16:16] @int_Sawamura
    bounce back!
[16:27] @int_Sawamura
    I can bounce back!
[16:31] _Fan
    That's strike three!
[16:33] _Fan
    He finished with a high fastball!
[16:35] _Fan
    Three outs, change!
[16:36] @Okumura
    Nice pitch!
[16:38] @Sawamura
    We made it back alive!
[16:40] @Sawamura
    And actually, making it about life
    and death is a little heavy!
[16:43] ---
    All right!
[16:44] Takatsu
    Yes!
[16:46] @int_Ochiai
    It doesn't have the monstrous
    speed of Furuya's,
[16:48] @int_Ochiai
    but that fastball is becoming
    a weapon like no other.
[16:54] int_Takashima
    He can pitch like that
    even without Miyuki-kun.
[17:00] int_Takashima
    The pitching that inspires his team, like I
    saw the day I first met him! Like an ace!
[17:09] @Kataoka
    You pulled through.
[17:11] @Sawamura
    Yes, sir!
[17:12] @Kataoka
    You're done for today.
[17:13] @Kataoka
    Go cool down.
[17:15] @Kataoka
    Kawakami's warming up in the bullpen.
[17:19] @Kataoka
    Let the rest of the team finish the gameー
[17:20] @Sawamura
    Wait, please.
[17:23] @Sawamura
    I can finish this game myself!
[17:35] @Kataoka
    Watching from the bench,
    your ball control is unstable.
[17:37] @Kataoka
    Some pitches have been flat-out wild.
[17:40] @Kataoka
    You still say you can finish?
[17:41] @Sawamura
    That has been my intention since the start!
[17:45] @int_Seto
    Wow, he just said that to the coach!
[17:52] @Kataoka
    Okumura, what do you think?
[17:56] @Okumura
    His fastballs are still sharp.
[17:58] @Okumura
    If we pitch the numbers less,
    I think he can do it.
[18:07] int_Sachiko
    He's still thrown fewer
    than a hundred pitches.
[18:12] @Kataoka
    One.
[18:13] @Kataoka
    If you allow even one runner on base,
    I'm taking you out.
[18:20] @Sawamura
    Understood.
[18:22] @Kataoka
    Okay, then get a drink and get up to bat.
[18:28] @Okumura
    This is what you wanted, right?
[18:29] @Sawamura
    Yeah, thanks.
[18:32] @Okumura
    I don't want to say this too loud,
    but this is my opinion as a catcher.
[18:38] @Okumura
    You should take it easy
    in the batter's box.
[18:40] @Sawamura
    Huh? Why?
[18:42] @Sawamura
    If I did that, I'd get out!
[18:44] @Sawamura
    If I don't swing the bat,
    I won't hit the ball!
[18:46] @Sawamura
    Okay, here I go!
[18:50] @Kataoka
    Kuramochi, Kominato, are you ready?
[18:53] _Both
    Yes, sir!
[18:54] @Kataoka
    Maezono, Shirasu!
[18:56] Maezono
    We're ready!
[18:58] @Sawamura
    Let's play!
[18:59] _Coach
    Look at the way he conducts
    himself in a pinch...
[19:02] _Coach
    It feels good to watch a pitcher like that.
[19:05] @Sawamura
    Okay!
[19:07] int_Akashi
    His face says he's still in the game.
[19:10] int_Akashi
    Okay, let's see what you've got.
[19:19] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[19:21] _Umpire
    Strike!
[19:22] Tojo
    A full swing.
[19:24] @Okumura
    He didn't listen to me.
[19:27] Ota
    He was close! He might get a hit!
[19:29] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Boss!
[19:30] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I'm still full of energy!
[19:33] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I feel good, too!
[19:35] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Please let me pitch the last inning.
[19:39] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    I can finish this game myself!
[19:47] @Sawamura
    Hey!
[19:52] @Sawamura
    Damn, out by a hair again!
[19:55] @Kominato
    He's able to hit the ball.
[19:58] Kaneda
    Good hit.
[20:00] @Sawamura
    It doesn't matter if I don't get on base.
[20:03] @Kuramochi
    Idiot, go sit on the bench and rest.
[20:07] @Kataoka
    Pinch hitter, Kuramochi!
[20:09] @int_Kuramochi
    We'll score some runs so you
    can pitch more comfortably.
[20:14] @Sawamura
    Hey, the cheetah's late!
[20:17] @Sawamura
    Don't mess with him when he's hungry!
[20:22] @int_Kuramochi
    We're not gonna lose.
[20:25] @int_Kuramochi
    We're gonna win this!

    These three days went by so quickly.

    Yeah, and I'm glad Inui-kun will be okay.

    The first game ended in a 5–5 tie.
[20:48] Owada
    The American team won
    the second game 3–2.
[20:51] Mine
    The back-and-forth in the last inning
    was really intense.

    Umemiya-kun was the starting pitcher,
    followed by Oguro-kun from Niogakusha.
[21:02] Mine
    Miyuki-kun made bold calls
    for both pitchers.
[21:06] Mine
    He really does shine as catcher.
[21:16] _Coach
    We came up short, but in these two games,
    we showed how Japan plays baseball.
[21:22] _Coach
    Once again, I am grateful
    to you all for being here.
[21:28] _Coach
    Thank you.
[21:29] _Coach

[21:33] _Coach
    rivals, or even teammates...
[21:37] _Coach
    But regardless, as third-years
    playing in your last summer,
[21:43] _Coach
    give it your all and don't regret anything.
[21:46] _All
    Yes, sir!
[21:48] _All
