[03:20] C1     The relief looked reckless, but it worked. [03:23] C1     This could turn the tide. [03:29] C2     Yuki? [03:30] C2     Masashi Yuki? [03:34] C2     You're here to watch the final? [03:40] C2     Which high school are you attending? [03:43] C2     A lot of people were wondering [03:45] C2     where Kokubun Senior's cleanup was going. [03:48] C2     I'm going to...

[06:19] C3     You shut them down! [06:22] R1     They managed to retire the side     right before Todoroki-kun. [06:25] R2     Emptying the bases before     a slugger is pretty basic strategy. [06:30] R2     Kawakami-kun's doing a great job     against the Yakushi batters. [06:36] Sa     Nori-senpai! [06:39] Sa     Here! [06:39] Fu     Here! [06:48] Y1     Raichi, your glove!

[09:39] YC     Throw it down the middle. [09:40] YC     As fast as you can. [09:43] YC     With your speed, [09:46] YC     the ball will move to the sides on its own.

[10:40] Sa     How is that possible? [10:41] Sh     The pitch goes crazy     right as it reaches the plate. [10:47] Sh     He probably doesn't     check his grip every time. [10:51] Ha     So it's like Eijun-kun's. [10:54] Sh     No. [10:56] Sh     It's faster, so it might be more     troublesome than Sawamura's. SIGN    S-Strike out! SIGN    He cleans up three for three, once again! [11:19] Sa     Raichi, what's going on? [11:21] Sa     You're on a roll today! [11:24] Mi     What a miraculous day. [11:26] Ka     Kawakami.
