***SIGN*** One out, and the bases are loaded in the top of the fifth.
***SIGN*** Seido's looking to take back the lead here.
***SIGN*** Let's see how Todoroki will pitch with the bases loaded.
***SIGN*** It goes wide, and it's a ball!
**[00:17] Mi**
Raichi, stay calm!
**[00:19] Sa**
Just pitch down the middle!
***SIGN*** Second pitch!
***SIGN*** Foul!
***SIGN*** With one out and the bases loaded, the count is 1-1.
***SIGN*** Can Seido take back the lead immediately after giving it up?
**[00:39] SS**
Hit it away, Maezono!
**[00:42] SS**
Maezono!
**[00:44] S1**
Zono-senpai!
**[00:45] S2**
Come on!
**[00:46] SS**
Hit it away, Maezono!
***SIGN*** The Field
**[02:26] YC**
Don't think too hard, Raichi!
**[02:29] YC**
Just throw into the mitt!
**[02:32] Sa**
Zo! No! Zono!
**[02:34] Sa**
Zo! No! Zono!
**[02:36] Sa**
Zono, Zono, Zono!
**[02:38] Ka**
That's Zono-*senpai*!
**[02:40] Mi**
* He only throws fastballs,*
* but he has zero control.*
**[02:46] Mi**
* He takes such a wide stride*
* and pitches with his entire body,*
**[02:50] Mi**
*so the high pitches rise even higher*
**[02:53] Mi**
*at the plate.*
**[02:57] Um**
Ball!
**[02:59] S1**
Nice! Good eye!
**[03:00] S2**
Good eye!
**[03:14] Sa**
Zo! No! San!
**[03:19] Ma**
*He's not the type to tell people he's hurt.*
**[03:22] Ma**
*I always knew that.*
**[03:25] Ma**
*How could I have been so dense?*
**[03:29] (Flashback) Mi**
I want to be greedy about winning.
**[03:34] Ma**
*That's what he said in the very beginning.*
**[03:38] (Flashback) Ka**
Miyuki's going to have
a lot on his shoulders.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Ka**
It's up to you two to support him.
**[03:47] Ma**
* I told myself I'd support him,*
* yet I couldn't notice his resolve?*
**[03:54] Ma**
*I've failed as a vice captain.*
**[04:13] Y1**
Nice! You've got him cornered!
**[04:14] S1**
You've got this!
**[04:16] Sa**
Your timing's good, Zono-senpai!
**[04:18] Y1**
Get aggressive, Raichi!
**[04:20] Y2**
*Don't worry about control.*
**[04:22] Y2**
*Just overpower him, Raichi!*
**[04:25] Ku**
*Smack it, Zono!*
**[04:27] Is**
* Don't let a makeshift pitcher*
* control the game!*
**[04:31] Is**
*Hit it, Zono!*
**[04:32] Is**
*You have to hit it!*
**[04:42] C1**
Oh, that's a ball.
**[04:43] C2**
It's a full count.
**[04:46] Ra**
*Three balls.*
**[04:51] Y1**
You've got this!
**[04:53] Y2**
Get aggressive!
**[04:53] Y3**
Raichi!
**[04:55] Ra**
*Crap.*
**[04:57] Ra**
*What's happening?*
**[05:01] Ra**
*He's so close.*
**[05:07] Ra**
* I didn't know the mound*
* was such a scary place.*
***SIGN*** The fly goes into the right field!
***SIGN*** Maezono swung late into the hit,
***SIGN*** but it's going straight for Hirahata in the outfield!
***SIGN*** Does it give enough time for Kuramochi to run home?
***SIGN*** Kuramochi scores!
***SIGN*** Seido ties the game!
***SIGN*** A high ball! Shirasu fights for a base on balls, and the bases are loaded again.
***SIGN*** Todoroki has lost his control this inning.
**[06:14] C1**
Where are the strikes?
**[06:16] I1**
He's getting inconsistent again.
**[06:19] Na**
It's your job as a pitcher to advance
the game regardless of your daily condition.
**[06:25] Na**
You can't call him a pitcher if he
can't even advance an inning consistently.
**[06:31] I1**
He's mad.
**[06:33] I2**
Yes, he is.
**[06:35] R1**
Making the call to switch might be difficult.
**[06:38] R2**
He's an unpredictable pitcher, after all.
**[06:47] YC**
*He's noticed.*
**[06:51] YC**
*No.*
**[06:52] YC**
*The Seido batters made him notice...*
**[06:55] ---**
*...what kind of place the mound is.*
***SIGN*** The first pitch goes wide, and it's a ball!
**[07:06] Sa**
It's not so easy!
**[07:08] Y1**
You've got this!
**[07:09] Y1**
Get aggressive, Raichi!
**[07:11] Y2**
Right down the middle!
**[07:13] YC**
*Looks like I've got no choice.*
**[07:17] YC**
* Unlike batters and fielders*
* who are on the receiving end,*
**[07:21] YC**
*pitchers have to initiate the play.*
**[07:26] YC**
*It's outside his field.*
**[07:28] YC**
*The style of play is different.*
**[07:32] YC**
I'm switching pitchers!
**[07:35] Mi**
Me?
**[07:36] YC**
*He pitched a lot yesterday,*
**[07:39] YC**
*so I wanted to let him rest a little longer,*
**[07:43] YC**
*but sorry, Sanada.*
**[07:45] YC**
*Looks like I need you again.*
**[07:48] Sa**
In this situation?
***SIGN*** Yakushi High School has announced a swap in positions.
***SIGN*** Mishima-kun, third baseman, will cover first.
***SIGN*** Todoroki-kun, pitcher, will cover third.
***SIGN*** Sanada-kun, first baseman, will pitch.
**[08:14] Sa**
Considering the situation,
**[08:16] Sa**
we may have to give up a run.
**[08:20] Sa**
They say balls come to you
right as you switch.
**[08:23] Sa**
So be on alert, you two!
**[08:35] Sa**
Don't laugh it off and say something.
**[08:38] R1**
Two outs, bases loaded, and one ball.
**[08:41] R1**
They're bringing in their ace.
**[08:44] R2**
Yeah.
**[08:44] R2**
The coach made a decision
after seeing Todoroki-kun's condition.
**[08:48] R2**
They're all in the right positions now.
**[08:50] R2**
This is Yakushi's best formation.
**[08:57] Mi**
Raichi, here goes!
**[09:02] Ra**
There!
**[09:05] Mi**
Hey!
**[09:06] Mi**
Where are you throwing, stupid?
**[09:08] Mi**
Die!
**[09:09] Mi**
Don't make me run!
***SIGN*** Seido Yakushi
**[09:18] (Flashback) Ka**
The count's 1-0.
**[09:21] (Flashback) Ka**
Sanada's pitches are based on fastballs,
like the two-seamer and the cutter ball.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Ka**
Swing at his first pitch.
**[09:29] (Flashback) Ka**
An inside pitch.
**[09:30] Um**
Play!
**[09:33] Sa**
Now, then...
**[09:40] Sa**
I'm right behind you!
**[09:42] Sa**
Do I need to say anything more?
**[09:46] Mi**
*That idiot's next.*
**[09:48] Mi**
* You're the only one who can*
* take down Sanada before he gets going.*
**[09:52] Mi**
*Come on, Higasa.*
**[09:58] y1**
*He's going to be swinging aggressively,*
**[10:01] y1**
* so let's jam him and make him*
* hit an infield grounder.*
**[10:04] Sa**
*I agree.*
**[10:08] S1**
Higasa!
**[10:09] Y1**
Shun! Let's do it!
**[10:11] R1**
He's their ace, after all.
**[10:14] R2**
Yeah.
**[10:15] R2**
What happens against this batter
**[10:17] R2**
will have a huge impact
on the rest of the game.
**[10:21] YC**
* There's no one else better suited*
* to pitch in this situation.*
**[10:26] YC**
*Go get him, Sanada.*
**[10:30] S1**
Go for it, Higasa!
**[10:31] S2**
You've got this!
**[10:32] Ka**
Come on, Higasa-senpai!
**[10:34] Ry**
Destroy him!
**[10:44] Ra**
* Sanada-senpai and Miss-shima*
* always pitch under that pressure.*
**[10:49] Ra**
Wow!
**[10:50] Ra**
Wow! Wow!
**[10:53] Sa**
*Calm down.*
**[10:57] Sa**
*He's coming for my first pitch.*
**[11:02] Hi**
*Focus on the first pitch.*
**[11:05] Sa**
*I can't mess this up.*
**[11:09] Hi**
*Focus right here.*
**[11:13] Sa**
*How thrilling!*
**[11:15] Hi**
*Focus right here!*
**[11:23] Sa**
*He's coming for my first pitch.*
**[11:28] Sa**
*I can't mess this up.*
**[11:32] Hi**
*Focus right here.*
**[11:36] Sa**
*How thrilling!*
**[11:47] Sa**
Raichi!
**[11:49] Ra**
*The batter was looking for this pitch,*
**[11:53] Ra**
*but he got him with one pitch.*
**[11:57] Ra**
*Pitchers are amazing.*
**[12:02] Ra**
*Baseball is deep!*
**[12:06] YY**
Raichi!
**[12:08] YY**
Don't throw wild!
**[12:10] Ra**
Ayy!
***SIGN*** Th-That's the out!
***SIGN*** The ace, Sanada, stops Seido with just one pitch!
**[12:25] Sa**
* I'm not good enough to prevent*
* the hit from going to Raichi.*
**[12:31] Sa**
*So all I can do is just trust my teammates.*
**[12:37] Ra**
Wow!
**[12:38] Ra**
Nada-senpai, super cool!
**[12:40] Ra**
Super Nada!
**[12:43] YC**
This is our ace!
**[12:45] YC**
Man, that felt good!
**[12:46] Sa**
Does this family love me?
**[12:48] Y1**
Raichi! Don't weigh Sanada down!
**[12:51] Y2**
Take back the runs with your bat!
**[12:57] Hi**
The pitch dropped more than I expected.
***SIGN*** What...
**[13:01] Ku**
Damn.
**[13:02] Ku**
*So that's Sanada's two-seamer.*
**[13:07] Ra**
That was so cool!
**[13:08] Sa**
Are you crying?
**[13:11] Mi**
* I guess we're not the only ones*
* who've changed since the practice game.*
***SIGN*** Seido
***SIGN*** Yakushi
**[13:18] C1**
We managed to tie the game,
**[13:20] C1**
but we only got one run
with the bases loaded.
**[13:22] C2**
It's better than nothing.
**[13:24] C1**
It would've been better
if we'd scored off the ace.
**[13:28] C2**
I'm worried about how Miyuki's been
underperforming today.
**[13:35] Ma**
Miyuki, can you do it?
**[13:42] Mi**
Do what?
**[13:43] Ma**
"Do what"?
**[13:44] Ma**
Because you're...
**[13:46] Ku**
Zono.
**[13:47] Ku**
Let's focus on the defense.
**[13:49] Ku**
We're up against tough batters this inning.
**[13:51] Ma**
Yeah, but...
**[13:53] Ku**
Drop it.
**[13:53] Ma**
Wait a minute, Kuramochi!
**[13:56] Ma**
Don't tell me you knew!
**[14:03] Ku**
*Damn.*
**[14:04] Ma**
Say something, Kuramochi!
**[14:06] Ku**
Who cares about that right now?
**[14:07] Ma**
I do!
**[14:09] Sh**
Calm down, Zono.
**[14:11] Ku**
So how are you, Miyuki?
**[14:22] Mi**
I personally feel like I'm playing as usual,
**[14:26] Mi**
but I fail as the cleanup for being
unable to score so many times.
**[14:33] Sa**
That's right!
**[14:34] Sa**
He's doing his best, and this is his best!
**[14:37] Sa**
Please don't be so hard on him for failing!
**[14:40] Ha**
Eijun-kun, shut up.
**[14:41] Ha**
Don't say a word.
**[14:46] Mi**
If it looks like I'm dragging
the team down with the way I play,
**[14:50] Mi**
please switch me out any time.
**[14:57] Ot**
Switch you out?
**[14:58] Ot**
Miyuki?
**[15:06] (Flashback) Mi**
Using fastballs well against Sanada
**[15:08] (Flashback) Mi**
and throwing a sinker at the right time
against Todoroki will be important, Ono.
**[15:11] (Flashback) On**
Oh?
**[15:12] (Flashback) On**
Yeah.
**[15:14] (Flashback) Mi**
I want to watch it from the side.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Mi**
Can you catch for him, Ono?
**[15:21] Mi**
I won't go against your decisions.
**[15:28] Ta**
What's happening in front of the dugout?
**[15:35] Ra**
Sawamura, you're mine!
**[15:37] Mi**
He's mine first!
**[15:41] Is**
The tackle yesterday?
**[15:43] S1**
It was right on.
**[15:45] S2**
Is he injured?
**[15:46] S2**
He didn't look injured.
**[15:48] S2**
At least last night.
**[15:49] S3**
He's playing normally now, too.
**[15:52] S4**
Wait a minute!
**[15:53] S4**
He's the captain, cleanup,
and the most important player on the field.
**[15:57] S4**
If he can't play, what's going to happen?
**[16:01] Ry**
Maybe that's why he kept it quiet?
**[16:05] Is**
*Damn.*
**[16:07] Is**
*That idiot.*
**[16:11] Ka**
Okay.
**[16:13] Ka**
So you'll walk off when I say you're done?
**[16:18] Ot**
*Wait a minute. Switch Miyuki out?*
**[16:24] Ka**
I don't care if you're
the captain and cleanup.
**[16:27] Ka**
If I think keeping you in
hurts the team or even yourself,
**[16:30] Ka**
I'm switching you out.
**[16:31] Ka**
I don't care how you feel.
**[16:33] Ka**
The moment I see you unfit,
**[16:35] Ka**
I'm taking you out.
**[16:37] Ka**
You can hate me all you want.
**[16:45] Sa**
S-So harsh.
**[16:49] Ka**
However...
**[16:51] Ka**
...I'm not the one playing the game.
**[16:53] Ka**
You guys on the field are.
**[16:59] Ka**
There are people in the stands.
**[17:04] Ka**
There are people in the dugout.
**[17:09] Ka**
You're all representing everyone
to play on the field.
**[17:15] Ka**
If you're playing, don't be half-hearted.
**[17:18] Ka**
Give everything you have to each play.
**[17:30] Ka**
Go show me...
**[17:32] Ka**
...Seido's baseball!
**[17:39] Sa**
Okay, I'll show you!
**[17:46] Mi**
Ono.
**[17:48] Mi**
Be ready.
**[17:50] Mi**
If I mess up, he's actually gonna take me out.
**[17:59] Mi**
Sawamura, let's get the first batter out.
**[18:02] Sa**
Yes, sir!
**[18:03] Ma**
Get aggressive!
**[18:04] Ma**
We're starting with their three-hole.
**[18:06] Sh**
Prepare yourself!
**[18:07] Ha**
You're looking good today.
**[18:10] Ku**
Don't mess up!
**[18:13] Mi**
Looks like they're losing their patience.
**[18:17] Sa**
Bring it on!
**[18:20] Mi**
Let's do this!
**[18:21] SS**
Yeah!
**[18:24] YC**
Good for them to have a meeting here.
**[18:27] YC**
They retightened their screws.
**[18:29] Sa**
How scary.
**[18:31] YC**
They may still have cards up their sleeves,
**[18:33] YC**
but we're all out of surprises.
**[18:36] YC**
It's all on you guys now.
**[18:42] YC**
It's up to you guys to take the win!
**[18:45] YY**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Seido Yakushi
***SIGN*** Bottom of the fifth, Yakushi is up to bat.
***SIGN*** Batting third and first baseman, Mishima-kun.
**[19:02] Mi**
*This batter's good,*
**[19:06] Mi**
*but we can't allow a runner before Todoroki.*
**[19:10] Mi**
*Let's pitch a four-seamer, low and away.*
**[19:27] Um**
Strike!
**[19:30] Ma**
Nice one!
**[19:31] Ha**
Nice pitch!
**[19:33] Ku**
Keep it up!
**[19:35] Mi**
*That pitch was perfect.*
**[19:36] Mi**
*It gave me goosebumps.*
**[19:40] Mi**
*Next up...*
**[19:46] Mi**
*A crossfire pitch to the inside.*
**[19:51] C1**
He got him with two pitches.
**[19:56] Mi**
*It'll be your first time today.*
**[20:00] Mi**
*I think you have to use it.*
**[20:05] Ma**
*Damn it.*
**[20:07] Y1**
Come on, Yuta!
**[20:09] Y2**
You've got this!
**[20:11] Ka**
Sawamura!
**[20:11] S1**
Let's go!
**[20:12] Ka**
Stay calm!
**[20:17] (Flashback) Ka**
If you're playing, don't be half-hearted.
**[20:20] (Flashback) Ka**
Give everything you have to each play.
**[20:24] Mi**
*I was scared that I'd cause a problem*
**[20:27] Mi**
*for the team.*
**[20:31] Mi**
*I didn't want*
**[20:33] Mi**
*to lower everyone's morale because of me.*
**[20:38] Mi**
*But...*
**[20:41] Mi**
* ...maybe I should've been*
* more straightforward.*
**[20:52] Mi**
*Let's do this!*
**[21:11] Um**
Strike! Batter out!
**[21:15] Mi**
Okay!
***SIGN*** A swinging strike out!
**[21:19] S1**
Yeah!
**[21:20] Is**
Sawamura, nice pitch!
**[21:22] Ha**
Nice pitch!
**[21:24] Ku**
Nice pitch, Sawamura!
***SIGN*** Sawamura's looking good on the mound
***SIGN*** striking out the three-hole, Mishima, with a change-up!
***SIGN*** But the battle doesn't end yet.
***SIGN*** Next up is Yakushi's cleanup, Raichi Todoroki.
***SIGN*** He got a home run his last at bat.
***SIGN*** What's Sawamura's plan here?
**[23:30] Mi**
We've tied the game,
**[23:32] Mi**
but Yakushi's next batter
is Raichi Todoroki.
**[23:35] Sa**
If we don't win here,
we can't go to nationals.
**[23:37] Sa**
We won't get many chances like this
in Tokyo with so many strong schools.
**[23:41] Sa**
I won't let this chance slip by!
**[23:43] Re**
Miyuki-kun!
**[23:44] Re**
Don't tell me you've forgotten
about what happened to Chris-kun!
**[23:49] Mi**
Next time on *Ace of the Diamond Season 2*:
The Decision.
***SIGN*** The Decision
**[23:52] Mi**
Let's win the national title!
