***SIGN*** Seido had a huge chance to score with one out and the bases loaded,
***SIGN*** but it just fell short!
**[00:07] BC**
*Follow the data and get the definitive outs.*
**[00:11] BC**
*In the end, this is the strongest way to play.*
**[00:18] B1**
*I can do this.*
**[00:20] B1**
*I can take on Seido with my pitch.*
**[00:25] B1**
*I'll beat this team*
**[00:27] B1**
*and prove I'm better.*
**[00:34] Sa**
What? Me?
**[00:36] Sa**
Of course!
**[00:37] Mi**
Are you ready?
**[00:38] Sa**
I was born ready!
**[00:43] Wa**
*Eijun's taking the mound?*
**[00:46] B1**
*He's running with a grounder to third?*
***SIGN*** Seido has tied the game!
**[00:52] B1**
*He slid right into me.*
**[00:55] B1**
*He's really aggressive.*
**[00:59] Ha**
*Brother.*
**[01:02] Ha**
*I'll do it, too.*
***SIGN*** Revenge
**[02:36] S1**
Yes!
**[02:37] S1**
We've tied! Tied!
**[02:39] S1**
We've finally caught up, Takako-senpai!
**[02:42] S2**
One out with runners on first and third.
**[02:44] S2**
We can still score again.
**[02:47] S3**
Let's turn the game around this inning!
**[02:49] R1**
He ran straight for home
with a grounder to third.
**[02:52] R2**
They probably practice this play daily.
**[02:55] R2**
The batter hit the grounder,
**[02:57] R2**
and the runner ran without
even giving it a thought.
**[03:01] R2**
They put pressure on the opponents
by always making aggressive plays.
**[03:06] R2**
This offensive style is how
Coach Kataoka likes to play baseball.
**[03:15] Mi**
*Seriously?*
**[03:22] Um**
Ball four!
**[03:27] Ot**
They walked him again!
**[03:28] Ot**
That's two at-bats in a row!
**[03:31] Ch**
Miyuki has played a key role
in many games this tournament.
**[03:35] Ch**
Perhaps they don't plan to take him on at all.
**[03:39] BC**
*This is fine.*
**[03:40] BC**
*Never fight a battle you might not win.*
**[03:47] Um**
Strike!
**[03:48] Um**
Batter out!
**[03:55] Mi**
*His fastball has gotten faster.*
**[03:57] Mi**
* He's getting fired up*
* from walking me every time.*
**[04:03] Mi**
*I bet the coach knew this would happen, too.*
**[04:13] Ka**
Tanba!
***SIGN*** For the eighth batter,
***SIGN*** Haruichi Kominato-kun will be replacing Tanba-kun.
**[04:35] R1**
They used a pinch hitter for the ace!
**[04:36] R1**
That's crazy!
**[04:38] Sa**
Get a hit, Harucchi!
***SIGN*** Itching to play
***SIGN*** Itching to play
**[04:41] Fu**
*I want to play.*
**[04:44] R2**
*Coach Kataoka's making his move.*
**[04:49] R2**
*This inning will be the turning point.*
**[04:53] BC**
*He's doing his pitcher relay, I see.*
**[04:55] BC**
*If we can defend against it,*
**[04:57] BC**
*the game will be in our favor, Maki.*
**[05:10] Ha**
*I'm taking Tanba-san's place.*
**[05:12] Ha**
*This is a huge responsibility.*
**[05:15] Ha**
*But with two outs and the bases loaded,*
**[05:18] Ha**
*the coach trusted me to go up.*
**[05:22] Ha**
*I don't want to let him down.*
**[05:28] B1**
*They replaced their ace with a pinch hitter?*
**[05:32] B1**
*He's still a first-year, too.*
**[05:37] B2**
Maki! Let's stop them here!
**[05:39] B3**
Pitch to contact!
**[05:42] B1**
*You're a first-year!*
**[05:46] B1**
*You're still a first-year!*
**[05:51] B2**
Yeah! Nice throw!
**[05:53] B3**
Keep your pitch low!
**[05:55] BC**
*His pitch is on fire.*
**[05:57] BC**
*There's nothing to worry about here, then.*
**[06:02] Um**
Ball!
**[06:04] Sa**
Yes! Great call!
**[06:06] Sa**
Harucchi has keen eyes.
**[06:12] Ha**
*Standing here makes me truly realize*
**[06:15] Ha**
*just how big this pitcher is.*
**[06:18] Ha**
*But...*
**[06:19] Ha**
* His fastballs are extremely close*
* to what the coach pitched yesterday.*
**[06:24] Ha**
*If only...*
**[06:25] Ha**
* ...I could see his curveball*
* before I'm cornered.*
**[06:35] Um**
Foul!
**[06:36] Ha**
*Another fastball.*
**[06:38] Ot**
The count is 1-2!
**[06:40] Ot**
He's cornered.
**[06:41] Ot**
This may have been too much for a first-year.
**[06:45] Mi**
Okay! Okay!
**[06:46] Mi**
Your timing's right!
**[06:48] Yu**
Just swing big!
**[06:50] BC**
* He's had two at-bats*
* and two hits this tournament.*
**[06:53] BC**
*His batting average is one.*
**[06:54] BC**
*We don't have enough data on him,*
**[06:56] BC**
*but he certainly has talent.*
**[06:59] BC**
*But he can't hit any long ones.*
**[07:02] BC**
*Just overpower him with your fastballs.*
**[07:05] BC**
*You have plenty of power to do that.*
**[07:09] Ha**
*Will he throw a curveball?*
**[07:11] Ha**
*Or will he stick to his fastballs until the end?*
**[07:14] Ry**
*Don't think too much.*
**[07:17] Ry**
*I know for a fact*
**[07:18] Ry**
*that you can hit anything he throws.*
**[07:24] B1**
*You're just a first-year.*
**[07:29] B1**
*It's too soon for you...*
**[07:31] B1**
*...to be wearing that uniform!*
**[07:41] Ha**
*A curveball!*
**[07:42] Ry**
*Hold it in!*
**[07:44] Ry**
*Keep your bat head high.*
**[07:46] Ry**
*It's all in the hips.*
**[07:48] Ry**
*Smack it away!*
**[07:55] BC**
*Why did you throw a curveball, Maki?*
**[07:58] B1**
Left! Back!
**[08:00] BC**
* Did you get too greedy*
* trying to get a strikeout?*
**[08:04] Ha**
*It went a little too high.*
**[08:06] B2**
*I was too far up thinking he couldn't hit far.*
**[08:14] Ha**
*Get over!*
**[08:19] S1**
Yeah!
**[08:23] Ka**
He hit it right over the left fielder!
**[08:26] S1**
All the runners are home!
**[08:28] S2**
That was a three RBI double!
**[08:31] S3**
We're up by three now!
**[08:33] Ot**
Kominato did an amazing job!
**[08:35] Ot**
He hit their pitcher's
curveball as the pinch hitter!
**[08:39] Sa**
Yeah!
**[08:40] Sa**
Nice hit, Harucchi!
**[08:45] (Flashback) ---**
Huh?
**[08:46] (Flashback) Ha**
What do I think about when I'm at bat?
**[08:49] (Flashback) Ha**
Just hitting the ball back, I guess?
**[08:56] (Flashback) S1**
He's really amazing.
**[08:57] (Flashback) S2**
How does he make contact so easily?
**[09:00] Ka**
*"Just hitting the ball back," huh?*
**[09:03] Ka**
*That's the hardest thing to do in a game.*
**[09:07] Ch**
He's hit three for three so far.
**[09:10] Ch**
His batting average is still one.
**[09:12] Ch**
He may be our lucky boy this tournament.
**[09:16] Ka**
Look!
**[09:17] Ka**
He's pumping his fist with a red face!
**[09:19] Ma**
Can't do anything about that, huh?
**[09:26] F1**
Yes!
**[09:27] F1**
They turned the game around!
**[09:29] F2**
He's still a first-year, right?
**[09:31] Ha**
*I got really lucky with the three runs,*
**[09:32] Ha**
* but this should make*
* Eijun-kun's job a little easier.*
**[09:41] Yu**
This inning's crucial!
**[09:43] Is**
Yeah!
**[09:44] Ry**
One out at a time!
**[09:46] Sa**
Let's go!
**[09:47] Ka**
You've got some buffer!
**[09:48] Ma**
Throw with confidence!
**[09:51] Ch**
*Just pitch like you always do, Sawamura.*
**[09:54] F1**
Yeah! Ei-chan!
**[09:56] F2**
Good luck!
**[09:59] R1**
They brought Sawamura-kun out.
**[10:01] R2**
This is his third consecutive relieving game.
**[10:05] R1**
In order to make a strong statement
after turning the game around,
**[10:08] R1**
defending this inning is key.
**[10:12] R2**
If there's one thing to worry about,
**[10:14] R2**
it's how he got switched out in the last game
**[10:18] R2**
after giving up a home run
and breaking down.
**[10:22] Sa**
Let's go!
**[10:24] BC**
What were you thinking?
**[10:26] BC**
You should've gone with a fastball.
**[10:27] BC**
You could've avoided three runs
if you had kept their batter from hitting far.
**[10:32] BC**
Hino!
**[10:33] BC**
Be ready to go any time!
**[10:36] B1**
Yes, sir!
**[10:37] BC**
If anything else happens,
I'm taking Maki off the mound.
**[10:42] B2**
Relax, Maki.
**[10:44] B2**
He always says that.
**[10:46] B3**
Just cover your ears.
**[10:48] B2**
We'll get those three runs back.
**[10:51] B3**
You can count on it.
**[10:52] B2**
You're something else today.
**[10:55] B2**
I feel it, just watching your back.
**[11:01] BC**
I can hear everything you say.
**[11:04] BC**
*It's true. Maki's a different beast today,*
**[11:07] BC**
* which makes that one pitch*
* all the more disappointing.*
**[11:11] BC**
Listen up!
**[11:12] BC**
Let's go on the offensive this inning
and turn back the tide.
**[11:16] BB**
Yes, sir!
**[11:17] BC**
*Seriously, though.*
**[11:19] BC**
* Rack up some points*
* and let Maki feel at ease.*
**[11:33] Sa**
*Somewhere in the bleachers,*
**[11:35] Sa**
*they're watching me pitch.*
**[11:38] Sa**
*I can't mess up big...*
**[11:43] Sa**
*...in front of them!*
**[11:47] F1**
Yes! A strike on the first pitch!
**[11:49] F2**
Great job, Ei-chan!
**[11:51] F2**
Nice pitch!
**[11:55] Wa**
*He's pitching a lot quicker now,*
**[11:57] Wa**
*and his form has changed a bit.*
**[12:04] F1**
Yeah!
**[12:04] F1**
Go all the way!
**[12:07] Um**
Ball four!
**[12:13] Sa**
What have I done?!
**[12:16] Sa**
Walking the first batter
is the worst thing I could've done!
**[12:20] Sa**
Let's calm down first.
***SIGN*** Breathe in
***SIGN*** Breathe out
**[12:22] Ku**
Do that before you pitch!
***SIGN*** Breathe in
***SIGN*** Breathe out
***SIGN*** Breathe in
**[12:24] Mi**
*Can't he just pitch quietly?*
***SIGN*** Breathe out
***SIGN*** Breathe in
***SIGN*** Breathe out
**[12:27] B1**
* His left arm came out*
* a lot later than I expected.*
**[12:31] B1**
*It's gonna be hard to time his pitches.*
**[12:34] BC**
Good job. Good walk.
**[12:35] BC**
Getting on base was important.
**[12:37] BC**
I'll praise you later.
**[12:41] B1**
*Is he psyching me out?*
**[12:44] Mi**
*A bunt, huh?*
**[12:46] Mi**
*It's not a surprise, coming from them,*
**[12:49] Mi**
*but let's not lower our guards.*
**[12:52] Yu**
Steal!
***SIGN*** The second baseman went to cover the base and missed it!
***SIGN*** It wasn't a solid hit, but it goes into the right field.
**[13:03] Sa**
*A hit and run?*
**[13:04] Ku**
Third!
**[13:09] Um**
Safe!
***SIGN*** A hit and run that took the second baseman by surprise!
***SIGN*** Sensen batters' crafty play is giving Sawamura a hard time!
**[13:21] S1**
No outs and runners on first and third.
**[13:23] S2**
Sawamura-kun...
**[13:26] BC**
* Life has its ups and downs,*
* and so does this game.*
**[13:30] BC**
*He swapped out their ace for a pinch hitter.*
**[13:34] BC**
*It's a very bold move that you can't do*
**[13:37] BC**
*without a solid team of pitchers.*
**[13:40] BC**
*However,*
**[13:42] BC**
*this is what's scary about a relay.*
**[13:45] BC**
* No one can pitch his best*
* every time he comes to the mound.*
**[13:50] BC**
*Not to mention, he's a green first-year.*
**[13:52] BC**
*That increases the risk even more.*
**[13:55] BC**
Listen up.
**[13:56] BC**
His pitch is special, but he has no speed.
**[13:59] BC**
If you swing the bat,
you'll hit it past the infield.
**[14:02] BC**
Take him out slowly but surely.
**[14:05] BB**
Yes, sir!
**[14:10] BC**
* Then you'll be able to see*
* their greenhorn coach lose his cool.*
**[14:15] Mi**
Excuse me. Time-out pl—
**[14:16] Sa**
Stop right there!
**[14:19] Sa**
I'm fine!
**[14:20] Sa**
No time-outs!
**[14:22] Sa**
"It's baseball, so you'll
always allow some hits."
**[14:26] Sa**
"You're not a real pitcher
until you give up a run."
**[14:29] Mi**
*What?*
**[14:33] Is**
*What's going on?*
**[14:34] Mi**
*No, wait.*
**[14:36] Mi**
*You got the second part all wrong.*
**[14:39] Ka**
*He turned down the time-out.*
**[14:41] S1**
Is he saying he has
the situation under control?
**[14:44] Ry**
He's cocky.
**[14:45] Re**
When did he become so reliable?
**[14:50] Ot**
You idiot!
**[14:51] BC**
That first-year's trying to look tough.
**[14:58] Mi**
*Well.*
**[14:59] Mi**
*I guess this is who he is.*
**[15:05] Ch**
*He looks calm, at least.*
**[15:09] R1**
Looks like the fielders
are prepared to concede a run here.
**[15:12] R2**
They probably want their first out.
**[15:16] Mi**
*Don't worry about their runner.*
**[15:18] Mi**
*Focus on the batter.*
**[15:22] F1**
You've got this, Ei-chan!
**[15:24] F2**
You can do it!
**[15:24] F2**
Get him out!
**[15:27] Wa**
*Eijun.*
**[15:35] Sa**
*Bring it on!*
**[15:39] Sa**
*A squeeze play!*
**[15:42] Um**
Ball!
**[15:43] Sa**
*What?*
**[15:45] Sa**
*The runner didn't run?*
**[15:47] Mi**
*You're putting pressure on him now?*
**[15:50] Mi**
* A relieving pitcher's always*
* looking for that first out.*
**[15:55] Mi**
* So you've prioritized taking out*
* the pitcher over scoring right now.*
**[16:02] Um**
Ball!
**[16:05] Mi**
*Forget about the runner.*
**[16:07] Mi**
*Focus on facing the batter.*
**[16:12] BC**
*He should be throwing a strike soon.*
**[16:18] B1**
*Right down the middle!*
**[16:21] B1**
*Crap! I swung late?*
**[16:23] Sa**
Brother!
**[16:24] BC**
*What are you doing popping a fly?*
**[16:33] B1**
That's one run for now!
***SIGN*** Runners on first and second now.
***SIGN*** Sawamura's struggling to get his first out.
**[16:41] Ch**
He got himself in trouble with a walk,
**[16:44] Ch**
and even though he jammed the batter,
the ball still went over the infield.
**[16:47] Ch**
Sawamura's problems
have all surfaced already.
**[16:52] BC**
*That fly scared me for a second,*
**[16:54] BC**
*but it looks like the tide is turning around.*
**[16:59] Mi**
Sawamura! First base!
**[17:01] Um**
Out!
**[17:03] Mi**
*Runners on second and third.*
**[17:05] Mi**
*The tying runner is on second.*
**[17:08] Mi**
* They didn't squeeze when*
* they had a runner on third,*
**[17:11] Mi**
* but as soon as they score,*
* they sacrifice bunt.*
**[17:14] Mi**
*That coach...*
**[17:15] Mi**
* ...really knows how to make the*
* pitcher feel uncomfortable.*
**[17:19] Re**
* Sensen's batters are putting*
* a lot of pressure on him.*
**[17:23] Re**
* This is where he needs*
* to stand his ground.*
**[17:25] Re**
* You need to do everything you can*
* to hold them down, Sawamura-kun.*
**[17:34] Ka**
*Sawamura.*
**[17:39] Ot**
Hey, Furuya!
**[17:41] Ot**
Why are you going to the bullpen?
**[17:45] Sa**
*Furuya?*
**[17:47] Sa**
You're on break today!
**[17:49] Sa**
Go sit back in the dugout!
**[17:51] [SONG] On-screen**
Ignored
**[17:52] Ot**
Is this okay, Coach?
**[17:54] Ka**
Leave it.
**[17:55] Ka**
It's his way of motivating him.
**[17:56] Ot**
I doubt that's on his mind.
**[18:00] Fu**
Miyauchi-senpai,
**[18:01] Fu**
may I ask you to catch my pitch as well?
**[18:04] Ka**
Furuya?
**[18:07] Mi**
I've gotta catch for Kawakami.
**[18:08] Mi**
You can do it alone.
***SIGN*** Shock
**[18:11] Ka**
Kominato.
**[18:13] Ka**
Relay a message.
**[18:15] Sa**
Harucchi, you, too?
**[18:16] Sa**
What are you doing here?
**[18:18] Ka**
I'm relaying a message.
**[18:21] BC**
*Their favorite pitcher relay is breaking apart,*
**[18:24] BC**
*and they're panicking.*
**[18:26] B1**
Maki!
**[18:28] B1**
Swing from the first pitch!
**[18:30] B1**
We've got momentum!
**[18:32] B2**
Let's take that pitcher down!
**[18:34] B3**
O-Okay.
**[18:37] (Flashback) B2**
You're something else today.
**[18:40] (Flashback) B2**
I feel it just watching your back.
**[18:44] (Flashback) BC**
Rack up some points and
let Maki feel at ease.
**[18:49] B3**
*No.*
**[18:51] B3**
* I was just...*
* doing this for myself.*
**[18:55] BC**
You have the power for
a long hit if you make contact.
**[18:58] BC**
Just swing all the way,
and you'll get it into the outfield.
**[19:03] BC**
You can do whatever
you want for this at-bat.
**[19:08] Ku**
Wow! What is that?
**[19:11] BC**
*What's all the laughter over there?*
**[19:14] Sa**
What?
**[19:15] Sa**
What kind of message is that?
**[19:16] Sa**
It's for Masuko-senpai, not me?
**[19:19] Ha**
Well, so...
**[19:20] Ha**
The coach said,
**[19:22] Ha**
"If Masuko-senpai's hat comes off,
it'll break our concentration, so be careful."
**[19:27] Yu**
That's actually true.
**[19:29] Ry**
Why don't we draw a hat on his head?
**[19:31] Ku**
You two are merciless!
**[19:36] BC**
They're just putting up a front.
**[19:38] BC**
Make them scream in fear with your bat.
**[19:45] Ku**
Well, if the coach isn't telling you anything,
**[19:48] Ku**
then it means the situation
isn't as bad as you think.
**[19:51] Yu**
It's still the mid-game.
**[19:53] Ry**
If they score, we'll score some more.
**[20:00] Mi**
But you've given up a run again this game.
**[20:03] Mi**
Are you going to keep this up
and walk off in shame?
**[20:06] Mi**
Or will you stand your ground
and come back next inning?
**[20:11] Mi**
Your potential as a pitcher
is being tested here.
**[20:16] Ku**
You idiot!
**[20:17] Ku**
We're trying to make him relax right now.
**[20:24] (Flashback) Mi**
Don't tell me you're afraid to pitch now
**[20:26] (Flashback) Mi**
because you gave up a home run.
**[20:32] Sa**
I'll never...
**[20:36] Sa**
I'll never let you say that again.
**[20:44] Ry**
Cocky.
**[20:47] Ku**
*These two...*
**[20:50] Sa**
I'm going to focus on the batter,
so everyone please—
**[20:53] Ku**
Shut up!
**[20:53] Ry**
We can hear you.
**[21:04] (Flashback) B2**
We'll get those three runs back.
**[21:05] (Flashback) B3**
You can count on it.
**[21:07] B1**
Maki! Swing from the first pitch!
**[21:09] B4**
You've got this!
**[21:11] (Flashback) BC**
Let Maki feel at ease.
**[21:14] B5**
*I'll get them back.*
**[21:17] B5**
*I gave up those runs,*
**[21:20] B5**
*so I'll get them back.*
**[21:23] Mi**
*He's here to make a big play.*
**[21:27] Yu**
Do your best, Sawamura!
**[21:29] Ma**
Pitch to contact!
**[21:31] F1**
You've got this, Ei-chan!
**[21:32] F2**
Let's go!
**[21:33] F3**
Come on!
**[21:37] Mi**
*He's not in the front of the lineup,*
**[21:39] Mi**
*but he got a big hit his last at-bat.*
**[21:42] Mi**
*Let's keep it all low.*
**[23:36] BC**
You see, I always feel bad for you.
**[23:39] BC**
You guys never seem to...
**[23:42] B1**
To be frank, I knew from the very start.
**[23:45] Mi**
Sawamura, your potential
as a pitcher is being tested here.
**[23:49] Sa**
I won't be left behind by everyone!
**[23:52] Wa**
Eijun.
**[23:53] Sa**
