[00:04] @int_Sawamura
Just hang back and watch, Furuya.
[00:08] @int_Sawamura
I'll make sure you get to pitch
in the fourth round in two days.
[00:11] @Sawamura
I'm told the temperature will
rise throughout the day!
[00:15] Asada
Here it comes!
[00:16] @Sawamura
However, it won't be any hotter
than our team already is!
[00:19] @Sawamura
We wholly devoted ourselves
to baseball every day!
[00:23] @Sawamura
We are Seido, and everything begins today!
[00:25] @Sawamura
Balls will come flying your way,
[00:28] @Sawamura
so please back me up!
[00:32] _Umpire
Ball four!
[00:33] _Player
Yeah!
[00:34] _Fan
Man, a walk!
[00:36] _Fan
The batter didn't do anything!
[00:39] int_Coach
You can ignore the changeups,
cutters, and breaking balls.
[00:43] int_Coach
Wait for that one pitch.
[00:46] int_Coach
The inside fastball.
[00:48] int_Coach
If you can hit that pitch, we can
crush them right here and now.
[01:07] @Sawamura
Haruichi!
[01:09] Announcer
Forced out at second!
[01:11] Announcer
Second baseman Kominato
makes an incredible play!
[01:14] Announcer
But the third-base runner has made it home,
giving Yura Sogo their second run!
[01:19] @Kominato
Eijun-kun, we've got our first out!
[01:22] @Sawamura
Haruichi-senpai, you are indeed great!
[01:25] @Kominato
You're being ridiculous. Are you
still about to have a breakdown?
[01:28] Owada
Yura Sogo scored a second run, but they
did a great job of getting that out.
[01:32] Mine
Yeah, and it helps that they
made the out at second.
[01:36] @Miyuki
Not bad.
[01:37] @Sawamura
He still hit it!
[01:41] @int_Miyuki
Now that I think of it,
[01:43] @int_Miyuki
it seemed like the batter
was waiting for that pitch.
[01:47] @int_Miyuki
Yura Sogo really is not to be taken lightly.
[03:24] Announcer
It's the bottom of the first,
and Yura Sogo has an early two-run lead.
[03:28] Announcer
There is one out with a runner on first.
[03:29] Announcer
Their fifth batter, Ichikura, is up to bat.
[03:32] Announcer
He is also showing bunt!
[03:34] Ota
Is it another fake bunt?
[03:36] Ota
They might try for a hit and run!
[03:39] @Ochiai
Was Coach Sakaki always such a small ball guy?
[03:44] Ota
H-He was known for his assertiveness
and preference for power hitting.
[03:48] @Ochiai
Indeed.
[03:52] @int_Ochiai
We were expecting that second run,
[03:55] @int_Ochiai
but the more pressing concern
is Sawamura's condition.
[03:58] @int_Ochiai
The summer tournament
is single elimination.
[04:02] @int_Ochiai
There are no second chances.
[04:04] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
Coach Kataoka.
[04:06] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
If we give up any more runs,
the game could get out of our reach.
[04:14] @int_Ochiai
A mistimed judgment means failure.
[04:22] _Umpire
Foul!
[04:28] _Fan
It's on the ground!
[04:31] @Miyuki
Sawamura, first!
[04:33] @Miyuki
First!
[04:37] Announcer
The sacrifice bunt succeeds!
[04:39] Announcer
Yura Sogo now has two outs
and a runner on second!
[04:42] Owada
He hit a bunt with two strikes.
[04:44] Mine
He was very calm about it.
[04:46] Announcer
Sixth batter Mannami is up!
[04:49] Mine
This batter can go deep.
[04:52] Announcer
The outfielders are moving in slightly.
[04:54] Announcer
They don't want the
runner to make it home!
[04:56] Owada
They're playing in.
[04:58] Mine
Seido doesn't want to allow another run.
[05:03] @int_Miyuki
Your pitches are getting stronger.
[05:06] @int_Miyuki
Let's stop their momentum.
[05:09] _Coach
It's all set up for you, Mannami.
[05:13] _Coach
Swing away!
[05:33] Announcer
He's out!
[05:35] Announcer
A grounder off a changeup
gets the third out!
[05:38] @Sawamura
Yoh-chan!
[05:40] @Sawamura
Thank you, Yoh-chan!
[05:41] @Sawamura
Thanks, Yoh-chan!
[05:43] @Kuramochi
You're seriously freaking out.
[05:46] Watanabe
Sawamura, it's still the first inning!
[05:48] Seki
Change gears!
[05:50] @Sawamura
Thank you!
[05:52] @int_Miyuki
We weren't able to get him off-balance.
[05:55] @int_Miyuki
They were waiting for that changeup.
[05:59] @Sawamura
Okumura!
[06:00] @Okumura
I'm over here!
[06:02] @Sawamura
Sorry for interrupting!
[06:04] @Sawamura
I need your help, Young Yui!
[06:07] @Sawamura
You won't need your protector!
Just come with me!
[06:10] @Sawamura
Something doesn't feel right today.
[06:12] @Sawamura
I need to shake it off somehow.
[06:17] @Yui
Okay, I'll do what I can!
[06:19] @Sawamura
Thanks!
[06:21] @Kataoka
Sawamura!
[06:23] @Kataoka
Make sure to stay hydrated.
[06:25] @Kataoka
It's about to heat up!
[06:31] @Miyuki
His pitches are getting faster,
[06:33] @Miyuki
but nowhere near where he was.
[06:36] Owada
Yura Sogo's starting pitcher...
[06:38] Owada
is third-year southpaw Kitakata-kun.
[06:42] Owada
He didn't pitch in the
first or second rounds,
[06:44] Owada
so Seido may not have
been anticipating him.
[06:49] Mine
There's also their ace, Higashiyama-kun,
and #12, Osu-kun.
[06:54] Mine
They're trying to prevent Seido
from adjusting to any one pitcher.
[07:08] Announcer
Bottom of the first inning,
Seido High School is up to bat.
[07:12] Announcer
Batting first, shortstop Kuramochi-kun.
[07:22] @int_Kuramochi
Sawamura...
[07:24] @int_Kuramochi
How many runs will it take
to get you to relax?
[07:28] @int_Kuramochi
We'll get things going!
[07:33] @int_Kuramochi
Pitch the way you always do!
[07:37] Announcer
Hit to right-center field!
[07:42] _Player
Throw to third!
[07:48] Announcer
He makes it to third base
without slowing down!
[07:51] Announcer
Those are the incredible legs of Seido's
leadoff man, Yohichi Kuramochi!
[07:58] Announcer
Next up is the second batter, Kominato!
[08:03] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
There's their ace Higashiyama,
and their starter, Osu.
[08:07] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
I suspect they'll start with Osu,
like they've been doing...
[08:10] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
But there's one more
pitcher I've got my eye on.
[08:14] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
He's a southpaw who didn't pitch
in the first or second rounds,
[08:17] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
but still spent a lot of time in the bullpen.
[08:20] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
He's #18, third-year Kitakata.
[08:24] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
There is a non-zero chance that they'll
start this pitcher against us.
[08:29] (Flashback) @fb_Miyuki
You were filming the bullpen?
[08:32] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
Just in case.
[08:33] (Flashback) fb_Watanabe
His pitching looked good.
[08:35] (Flashback) @fb_Kuramochi
Good work, Nabe-chan!
[08:36] (Flashback) fb_Maezono
Yeah, nothing gets by him!
[08:42] @int_Kominato
Don't worry, Eijun-kun.
[08:45] @int_Kominato
We've got your back.
[08:50] @int_Kominato
Two runs is nothing!
[08:55] Announcer
It's over the shortstop's head!
[08:57] Announcer
The third-base runner scores easily!
[08:59] Announcer
And Kominato makes it to second!
[09:02] Announcer
Two extra-base hits from the first two batters
have scored a run for Seido High School!
SIGN Yura
SIGN Seido
[09:12] _Umpire
Ball four!
[09:14] _Fan
Now there are runners on first and third.
[09:16] _Fan
They clearly avoided challenging him.
[09:22] Announcer
A messenger from the Yura Sogo dugout
is approaching the mound.
[09:25] _Fan
Both teams have sent messengers from
the dugout in the first inning.
[09:30] _Fan
It goes to show how important
this stage of the game is.
[09:34] _Player
Go ahead and let loose!
[09:35] _Player
Yeah!
[09:36] _Player
Let loose and looser!
[09:38] _Player
That might be too loose.
SIGN Yura
SIGN Seido
[09:40] Announcer
Seido High School has taken back one run,
[09:42] Announcer
and has runners on first and third.
[09:45] Announcer
Up to bat is the fifth batter, Maezono.
[09:47] Announcer
Can he tie the game?
[09:58] _Umpire
Strike!
[10:00] _Coach
Good, you're swinging your arm through.
[10:04] @Ochiai
A curveball with a sharp vertical break.
[10:07] @Ochiai
That must be his most reliable pitch.
[10:11] @Ochiai
Kuramochi and Kominato managed to score,
but we need to press for more.
[10:20] _Umpire
Strike two!
[10:22] int_Maezono
Another outside pitch.
[10:25] _Coach
The batter's hesitating.
[10:28] _Coach
You can take him out.
[10:31] int_Maezono
Two curveballs in a row.
[10:33] int_Maezono
What will he throw next?
[10:37] _Fan
Three in a row!
[10:42] Announcer
A sharp hit goes right
to the second baseman!
[10:44] Announcer
The runners stay put, and it's two outs!
[10:47] _Player
Yeah!
[10:48] _Coach
The trajectory was good which
is why it flew right to him.
[10:53] _Coach
Kitakata, you have nothing to fear.
[10:56] Announcer
Batting sixth, center fielder, Tojo-kun.
[11:00] _Player
Two outs!
[11:01] _Player
Two outs!
[11:02] _Player
Let's finish the inning!
[11:04] _Player
Kitakata, go get 'em!
[11:06] _Player
Let loose!
[11:07] Owada
The Yura Sogo players are
calling to each other.
[11:10] Mine
Yeah, that out was crucial.
[11:14] int_Tojo
I'll keep the momentum going.
[11:17] _Player
One more...
[11:19] _Coach
I like that look in your eye.
[11:22] int_Coach
I'm not sure when it happened...
[11:26] int_Coach
I've been able to read the thoughts
of both teams on the field,
[11:31] int_Coach
as if they were a book in my hands.
[11:35] int_Coach
They're all trying their hardest,
so it shows in their behavior,
[11:41] int_Coach
their actions,
[11:43] int_Coach
and the expressions on their faces.
[11:49] Announcer
It's caught!
[11:51] Announcer
A fly ball to left field makes three outs!
[11:53] Announcer
Starting pitcher Kitakata was running into
trouble, but held the offense to one run!
[11:57] _Player
Nice pitch, Kitakata!
[11:59] _Player
Nice pitch!
[11:59] _Player
You came through in a pinch!
[12:01] int_Coach
They do their utmost to fulfill
the decisions I make.
[12:08] _Coach
You made it through.
[12:11] int_Coach
I'm truly enjoying baseball
with this team, Tesshin.
[12:23] @Kataoka
That's just how the inning ended!
[12:25] @Kataoka
Change gears and get the next one!
[12:27] _All
Yes, sir!
[12:28] Kawakami
Take it easy, Sawamura.
[12:30] Kawakami
I can swap in for you anytime.

Try to be more loose and pathetic.

With the starters picking up the loose balls,
[13:44] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
this retirement fielding practice will
continue until everyone is satisfied.
[13:49] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
A parting gift for players who
didn't make the roster.

The coach is indeed a conscientious person.

The pride of the third-years...
[14:32] @int_Sawamura
and their emotions are all
with me on the mound.
[14:39] @int_Sawamura
This is for all those who
can't be on this field!
[14:46] @int_Sawamura
I'm pitching for them, too!
[14:55] Mimura
Yeah!
[14:56] Seki
Nice pitch, Sawamura!
[14:58] Kawashima
That's two outs!
[15:01] @int_Miyuki
They were trying for a run-and-hit.
They really are thorough.
[15:06] @int_Miyuki
The eighth batter hit because the
changeup couldn't finish him off.
[15:11] @int_Miyuki
Their coach is making a
sign for every pitch.
[15:13] @int_Miyuki
He's anticipating my calls.
[15:17] @int_Miyuki
In that case...
[15:18] @int_Miyuki
We'll go with something they can't
hit even they know it's coming!
[15:34] Announcer
A grounder is fielded by the
third baseman for the third out!
[15:37] Announcer
Sawamura held them scoreless this inning!

[15:43] int_Coach
Oh, you changed your strategy.
[15:48] int_Coach
It must be hard to control
a pitcher who's that worked up.
[15:55] _Coach
Kitakata, I need three more outs!
[15:58] _Player
Yes, sir!
[15:59] _Coach
Higashiyama and Osu, I hope you're ready.
[16:02] _All
Yes, sir!

create a chance to score!

Is he crazy?

I can't believe the
pitcher would do that!
[16:43] _Fan
I love players like that!
[16:45] _Fan
They're what makes high
school baseball great!
[16:46] _Fan
That could have gone wrong.
[16:47] _Fan
He didn't need to do that.
[16:49] _Fan
What if he was injured?
[16:53] _Coach
How reckless.
[16:56] Kishima

[16:58] @Sawamura
I'm sorry I couldn't get on base.
[17:05] @Kuramochi
Idiot.
[17:07] @Yui
Sawamura-senpai, please relax as you prepare.
[17:13] @int_Ochiai
The problem isn't about
how hard he's trying.
[17:18] @int_Ochiai
It's that he isn't making
rational decisions.
[17:26] @int_Miyuki
The batters were able to make contact
with his improved cutters last inning.
[17:30] @int_Miyuki
It shows how much his
fastballs are lagging.

You really need to collect
yourself, Sawamura.
[17:59] Announcer
It's the bottom of the third inning,
and Yura Sogo is swapping pitchers.
[18:03] Announcer
#1, Higashiyama, is replacing
starting pitcher Kitakata.
[18:09] _Fan
They're switching pitchers after
once through the batting order.
[18:12] _Fan
And they brought in their ace.
[18:14] _Fan
Coach Sakaki's always the one
making the first move.
[18:18] _Player
In the third inning?

Higashiyama, Yura Sogo's ace,
uses fastballs to pressure batters.

He had a lot of strikeouts last game,
so they must be pretty fast...

But I think our batters can hit them!
[18:56] _Umpire
Strike!

Strike two!

He didn't pitch like
that in the other games.

They knew we'd be trying
to hit his fastballs.
[19:55] @Kominato
They might have been setting us up
with their first two games.
[20:00] @Miyuki
But we're still making contact.
[20:02] @Miyuki
We need to keep our cool and not
let them control the pace.

[20:16] @Miyuki
We'll pitch to contact with

If we can get momentum on our side,
we can turn the game around.
[20:27] @Miyuki
We just need that momentum.

Ball four!
[20:40] Announcer
After getting one out, Sawamura
walks eighth batter Higashiyama!
[20:46] Announcer
It's his fourth walk of the game!
[20:50] Owada
Sawamura-kun doesn't usually
walk this many batters.
[20:56] Mine
He tensed up,
[20:58] Mine
possibly after watching
Higashiyama-kun, since he's their ace.
[21:02] @Sawamura
What am I doing?
[21:06] Announcer
The Seido bench is calling for a timeout.
[21:08] _Fan
They're breaking things up.
[21:10] _Fan
He just can't get into a rhythm.
[21:12] _Fan
If the defense is falling apart,
it'll put pressure on the lineup.
[21:14] _Fan
He's tensing up and can't
pitch like he's supposed to.
[21:17] _Fan
That's how powerhouse
schools end up losing!
[21:20] int_Coach
But you've still got only
Kawakami in the bullpen.
