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?
SIGN    The Decision
[01:55] C1
    Sawmaura pitched a breaking ball?
[01:58] C2
    A change-up, too!
[02:08] Ra
    He's evolving!
[02:10] Ra
    He's evolving!
[02:12] Ra
    Great!
[02:15] Sa
    It's different.
[02:18] Sa
    I'm different now.
[02:26] (Flashback) Ka
    In this game, no matter
    who you're up against,
[02:29] (Flashback) Ka
    don't run away.
[02:32] Oc
    I'm worried about his track record.
    Don't be reckless.
[02:36] Mi
    I want to use the change-up as bait,
[02:38] Mi
    but I'm scared it might go a little high.
[02:41] Mi
    Should I go with the pitch
    he's feeling really good about?
[02:47] Mi
    The pitch he couldn't throw
    in the summer practice game.
[02:50] Mi
    Let's say hello with this.
[02:58] Mi
    A fastball
[03:01] Mi
    to the inside.
[03:03] C1
    Another inside pitch?
[03:05] C2
    They're getting aggressive again.
[03:06] C3
    They're not scared at all.
[03:09] YC
    I don't like how they're not using Furuya,
    who's most effective against us.
[03:14] YC
    Remind him just how scary you are
    with a big one, Raichi.
[03:19] C1
    Sawamura!
[03:20] C2
    Raichi!
[03:20] C3
    Come on, Sawamura!
[03:22] C4
    A big one, Raichi!
[03:24] Sa
    Relax my body,
[03:27] Sa
    and focus on my fingertips.
[03:32] Sa
    Right here!
SIGN    Into left field!
[03:55] Ra
    I got overpowered?
[03:57] YC
    Why'd you hit that difficult pitch?
[04:00] YC
    You should've let that one go!
SIGN    Mmmmmmm
SIGN    Th...
SIGN    Th... That was
[04:05] Sa
    That was my best pitch.
SIGN    Th... That was my best pitch.
[04:07] Ma
    He jammed it!
[04:08] Ha
    Yeah, it was a good pitch!
[04:11] Sa
    Don't try to console me!
[04:13] Sa
    It'll only make me weak!
[04:16] Mi
    He's really frustrated.
[04:18] Mi
    He must've had a lot of confidence.
[04:21] Mi
    But he gave up a home run in the summer.
[04:24] Mi
    That's a passing grade.
[04:31] Mi
    Switch gears.
[04:33] Mi
    We have another scary batter.
[04:36] Sa
    He jammed Raichi with his fastball.
[04:39] Sa
    That's pretty impressive.
[04:44] Sa
    Damn you!
[04:47] Mi
    Todoroki's a fast runner, too.
[04:49] Mi
    Don't let him get a big lead.
[04:53] Mi
    In the first at-bat,
    he swung at Kawakami's slider.
[04:57] Mi
    In the second, he swung at a fastball.
[05:00] Mi
    I think he's mainly good at hitting fastballs,
[05:04] Mi
    but I'll have to check first.
[05:08] Mi
    A moving fastball to the outside.
[05:11] Mi
    If the runner runs, pitch it wide.
[05:20] C1
    He's going for it!
[05:23] Is
    No hesitation!
SIGN    He steals second base!
SIGN    The runner's now in scoring position!
[05:41] Ma
    Did he... misthrow?
[05:46] Ma
    Miyuki...
[05:48] Mi
    Time out, please.
[05:49] Um
    Time out!
[05:54] Mi
    The runner might run again,
[05:56] Mi
    but don't worry about that.
[05:58] Mi
    That batter is a bigger problem.
[06:02] Mi
    We got a free strike.
[06:05] Mi
    I want to pitch one to the inside
    before finishing him with a change-up.
[06:12] Mi
    Can you do it?
[06:14] Sa
    More like, can you?
[06:17] (Flashback) Sa
    Don't put everything on your back
    just because you're the captain.
SIGN    One out and a runner on second in the bottom of the fifth.
SIGN    Yakushi is looking to take the lead.
SIGN    Sanada earned the winning runs last game.
[06:34] Y1
    Sanada!
[06:37] Y2
    Sanada-senpai!
SIGN    Can Seido's first-year southpaw, Sawamura, remain stouthearted
SIGN    against Yakushi's five-hole batter?
[06:45] Is
    Sawamura, look around you!
[06:48] Is
    Pitch to contact!
[06:52] Mi
    Damn.
[06:54] Sa
    Just wait behind the plate!
[06:56] Sa
    Like a boss!
[06:58] Mi
    You're so loud!
[07:01] Sa
    I don't care how much of a slump you're in.
[07:04] Sa
    I'll throw my best pitch
    into your mitt every time!
[07:10] Mi
    A slump?
[07:12] Mi
    He doesn't disappoint me.
[07:14] Mi
    What an idiot.
[07:16] Mi
    I didn't want him to worry
    about me, anyway,
[07:21] Mi
    so if he's able to focus on pitching,
    there's nothing better.
[07:26] Mi
    He's really good against fastballs.
[07:29] Mi
    If you don't pitch your best,
    he'll smack it away.
[07:32] Mi
    Give me a cutter into his chest.
[07:40] Mi
    Don't let me down.
[07:44] Sa
    Bring it on.
[07:46] Sa
    He's looking fired up.
[07:50] Sa
    You won't have your way.
[07:52] Sa
    Not this time.
[07:54] Y1
    Sanada! Come on!
[07:57] Ka
    Get aggressive, Wamura!
[07:59] Sa
    We've made it to the final undefeated,
[08:03] Sa
    but if we don't win today, we can't advance.
[08:06] Sa
    Tokyo is full of strong teams.
[08:09] Sa
    We might not get another chance.
[08:12] Sa
    I won't let it go.
[08:14] Mi
    He regripped!
[08:22] Sa
    This time,
[08:26] Sa
    we're going to the nationals!
[08:32] S1
    Center!
[08:33] Y1
    Raichi, halfway!
[08:36] Sa
    He jammed me.
[08:38] Sa
    He's giving me everything, too!
[08:40] Sa
    Tojo!
[08:41] Sa
    Fall!
SIGN    The ball drops right in front of the center fielder.
SIGN    The runner on second can't get home.
[08:50] Sa
    Yeah!
SIGN    It's one out with runners on first and third now.
[08:54] Y1
    Sanada-senpai.
[08:56] Mi
    A hit is a hit!
    Doesn't have to look pretty.
[09:00] Sa
    Karma, you know?
[09:03] Y1
    Shun, you...
[09:05] Sa
    Oh? Yeah.
[09:08] Sa
    I couldn't help yelling.
[09:11] Sa
    I mean, who could hold it in?
[09:15] Sa
    Let's do it, Captain.
[09:19] Y1
    Sanada.
[09:22] Sa
    It's raining ugly hits again!
[09:24] Sa
    Life is hard!
[09:26] YC
    Damn that pitcher.
[09:28] YC
    He jammed both Raichi and Sanada.
[09:32] YC
    Did he also just pitch...
[09:34] YC
    ...a cutter?
[09:38] Mi
    Those were Sawamura's best two pitches today.
[09:42] Mi
    Yet they both managed
    to hit them to the outfield.
[09:44] Mi
    How scary.
[09:47] Mi
    But this is the true test.
SIGN    Batting sixth and right fielder, Hirahata-kun.
[09:52] Mi
    We stop them here.
SIGN    Seido's infield is moving up a bit.
[10:01] C1
    Are they trying to make a double play?
[10:04] C2
    What about a squeeze bunt?
[10:05] C3
    Yakushi wouldn't do that.
[10:07] YC
    He's good enough to jam Raichi and Sanada.
[10:10] YC
    I can't get mad at them for saving their ace.
[10:14] YC
    We need all the runs we can get,
[10:16] YC
    or we could lose this.
[10:19] YC
    What's the plan?
[10:22] YC
    I can't hesitate.
[10:25] YC
    It's worse to try something
    different and mess up.
[10:30] YC
    He gave up a double play,
[10:32] YC
    but the hit itself was pretty good.
[10:36] YC
    Believe in your swing, Hirahata!
[10:41] Y1
    Hirahata!
[10:42] S1
    Sawamura!
[10:43] Y2
    Come on, Hirahata!
[10:44] Y3
    Let's get it!
[10:46] Ma
    Sawamura! We're here for you!
[10:49] Mi
    Let's pitch moving fastballs
    and make him hit a grounder.
[10:53] Y1
    Our best three batters
    had trouble hitting his pitch.
[10:57] Y1
    Can I do it?
[10:59] Y1
    How do I do it?
[11:01] Y1
    The coach is giving me his complete trust.
[11:03] YC
    You can do this.
[11:07] Y1
    Raichi and Sanada created this opportunity.
[11:11] Y1
    I have to pull through.
[11:15] Y1
    What can I do?
[11:17] Y1
    What can I do?
[11:21] Mi
    A safety squeeze?
[11:25] Mi
    A safety squeeze?
[11:27] Y1
    If I roll it...
[11:29] Y1
    If I roll it along the line,
[11:31] Y1
    Raichi can run home.
[11:34] Y1
    I just need to roll it.
[11:41] Um
    Foul!
[11:42] C1
    Oh! He messed up!
[11:45] C2
    Yakushi went for a squeeze?
[11:47] C3
    Was that the coach's decision?
[11:48] C4
    It might have been the batter's.
[11:50] YC
    Damn.
[11:51] YC
    That idiot.
[11:53] YC
    I told him to trust his swing.
[11:57] YC
    You've been swinging every day,
[11:59] YC
    even in the rain and on off-days.
[12:02] YC
    You've put in the work.
[12:05] YC
    Let me give you a real order, then.
[12:09] YC
    This is something only
    you can do, Captain!
[12:16] Mi
    The bunt wasn't the coach's order.
[12:20] Mi
    Give me another moving fastball...
[12:24] Mi
    ...to the outside.
SIGN    The second one goes a little wide, and it's a ball!
[12:29] Mi
    They didn't react that time.
[12:32] Mi
    Did they give up after seeing
    how much Sawamura's pitch moves?
[12:38] Mi
    But let's be careful.
[12:40] Mi
    Another one to the outside.
[12:42] Mi
    A four-seamer this time.
[12:49] Ma
    Squeeze bunt!
[12:54] (Flashback) YC
    Hey, you're good at bunts.
[12:56] (Flashback) YC
    Hirahata, was it?
[12:57] (Flashback) Y1
    Yes. Thank you, sir.
[12:59] (Flashback) YC
    Make sure you practice swinging, too.
[13:02] (Flashback) YC
    I won't use players who can't hit,
    even if they're good at bunts.
[13:14] Y1
    I was really fortunate
    to have met these two.
[13:21] Y1
    He had so much talent.
SIGN    Baseball Journal - Ryo Hirahata
[13:24] Y1
    The little confidence I had
    was completely stripped away.
[13:28] Y1
    I stopped expecting
    too much out of myself.
[13:32] Y1
    But it made me face reality in a good way.
SIGN    Be flexible and reactive. Don't stand in the batter's box with an empty head. The situation changes constantly. Never stop thinking.
[13:37] Y1
    This is where I start.
SIGN    Confidence comes from practice. Step by step. Never give up! I can do better!
[13:41] Y1
    What can I do?
SIGN    I want to get better! I can do more! Way more!
[13:44] Y1
    What do I want to do?
SIGN    I can't let them down!
    
    I want to go to nationals!
[13:48] Y1
    How do I live?
[13:56] Mi
    First base!
SIGN    Home in!
SIGN    The squeeze bunt succeeds!
SIGN    Yakushi takes the lead!
[14:11] YC
    You did well, Captain.
[14:15] YC
    You wanted a run, no matter what.
[14:17] YC
    But so did everyone else.
[14:21] YC
    I'll take responsibility for the calls.
[14:24] YC
    You kids on the field
    just do whatever you want!
[14:31] Oc
    W-We gave up runs in two consecutive innings!
[14:34] Oc
    He seems to be in good condition.
[14:37] Oc
    So it must be a match-up issue!
[14:40] Sa
    Damn it!
[14:43] Ku
    That's it. Get it all out.
[14:45] Mi
    Sawamura. Runner's on second.
[14:48] Mi
    Save the reviewing for after we get the out!
[14:50] Ma
    Two outs!
[14:51] Ku
    We'll turn it around, easy!
[14:53] Sa
    Yes, sir!
[14:55] Ku
    That's the spirit!
[14:57] R1
    I never thought Yakushi would squeeze bunt.
[15:00] R1
    They're really trying to win here.
[15:03] R2
    Yeah.
[15:04] R2
    But it's just the fifth inning.
[15:08] R2
    Are they doing whatever it takes to win?
[15:10] R2
    Or were they forced
    to score outside their style?
[15:17] YC
    Damn.
[15:18] S1
    H-Hey!
[15:20] S1
    Don't throw all out!
[15:26] Sa
    Furuya!
[15:31] Mi
    Hey.
[15:33] Mi
    It's too soon for you.
[15:36] Sa
    It's not your turn yet!

    Go sit back down!

SIGN    We're going into the second half of the Fall Tokyo Tournament Final.
SIGN    Seido Yakushi
SIGN    It's Seido High School versus Yakushi High School,
SIGN    and we go into the sixth inning with Yakushi in the lead, 3-4.
SIGN    Top of the sixth. Seido is up to bat.

    Let's go back to the dugout.
SIGN    Batting eighth and pitcher, Sawamura-kun.
[16:10] Sa
    That's me!
[16:12] Ka
    Are you happy now?
[16:16] C1
    Sawamura!
[16:17] C1
    We don't expect much from you!
[16:19] C2
    Just swing three times!
[16:20] C3
    If you hit, it's a miracle!
[16:24] R1
    Raise your arm.
[16:29] R1
    Does it hurt?
[16:30] Mi
    No.
[16:32] R1
    How's this?
[16:34] R1
    Now look sideways.
[16:38] R1
    Looks like twisting it hurts.
[16:41] R1
    Nothing's broken,
[16:43] R1
    but he is having pain,
[16:45] R1
    so his oblique muscles might be injured.
[16:51] R1
    It could potentially be a muscle tear.
[16:54] R1
    Considering it's the oblique muscles,
[16:56] R1
    it will most assuredly affect his performance.
[16:59] R1
    It's a hard call to make,
    since he's saying he can manage.
[17:06] R1
    To be honest, I never expected
    his ribs to be hurt from his plays.
[17:12] R1
    I doubt the opponent can tell, either.
[17:16] R1
    What incredible willpower he has.
[17:24] Re
    Why didn't you tell us yesterday?
[17:27] Re
    You know very well what happened
    to Chris-kun when he was injured.
[17:36] Mi
    Well...
[17:38] Mi
    We have a long break after today,
[17:40] Mi
    so I thought I could last a day.
[17:42] Re
    What are you saying?
[17:44] Re
    We have the Jingu Tournament
    coming up soon,
[17:46] Re
    and you're the one who's going
    to pay the price for hiding an injury!
[17:52] Mi
    If we don't win today, there's no
     Jingu Tournament or spring invitational for us,
[17:57] Mi
    Rei-chan.
[18:02] Mi
    Not to mention...
[18:04] Mi
    ...the coach will leave, too.
[18:13] Ku
    If you couldn't play, you'd say so, right?
[18:16] Ku
    He hasn't said anything,
    so it means he can play.
[18:22] Re
    Kuramochi-kun.
[18:24] Ma
    You try to be way too cool!
[18:26] Ma
    You need to tell us when you get hurt!
[18:29] Ka
    Yeah, you pretend
    to worry about other people.
[18:31] Sh
    Seriously.
[18:32] Sh
    You're so stubborn
    when it comes to baseball.
[18:35] Mi
    Yep.
[18:36] Mi
    I've left the decision to the coach.
[18:39] Mi
    So long as I'm on the field, I'll do my best.
[18:43] Ku
    Yes.
[18:45] Ku
    I'll make the call based on his plays.
[18:47] Ku

    Shut up, stupid!
[19:17] As
    Don't take me lightly!
[19:20] C1
    It's headed for the shortstop!

    That's right!
[19:29] As
    Did you see that?
[19:31] Ku
    Don't do what you're not
    used to doing. You'll get hurt.
[19:37] Sa
    I allowed a runner.
[19:40] Sa
    This is where things get annoying.
[19:49] Sa
    Or rather, where things get fun!
[19:54] Sa
    I've gotta be super positive!
[19:58] Sa
    Just like Miss-shima!
[20:18] Ra
    There!
[20:20] Sa
    Yes!
SIGN    Yakushi's ace, Sanada, allowed a runner after one out,
SIGN    but he got the next two outs without a problem,
SIGN    and Seido couldn't find a run!
SIGN    We retire the sides for Yakushi's turn to bat!
SIGN    A swinging strike out on an inside pitch!
SIGN    The first-year, Sawamura, goes three for three this inning!
[21:31] Sa
    Yeah!
SIGN    Neither team could score in the sixth inning!
SIGN    The game goes into the seventh!
[21:37] Sa
    Did you see that?
[21:40] Y1
    Akiba struck out?
[21:43] Y2
    Damn.
[21:43] Y2
    That fastball was sick.
[21:50] YC
    Well, then. Let's do this.
[21:55] Sa
    I can't lose to a first-year.
[23:31] Mi
    We tied the game, but it didn't last long.
[23:33] Mi
    Yakushi quickly scored a run,
    and we go into the seventh inning.

    The game's just getting started!
[23:39] Ra
    Come! Give me that pitch!
[23:41] Oc
    Can they come out of the inning unscathed?
