[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.
[12:32] @Sawamura
    Nori-san!
[12:33] @Okumura
    Try to be more loose and pathetic.
[12:38] @Kataoka
    Sawamura!
[12:41] @Kataoka
    You've got this.
[12:53] @Miyuki
    Okay, let's go!

    Yeah!

    Thank you!
[13:38] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
    Only Seki and Mimura are left.
[13:41] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
    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.
[13:53] (Flashback) @fb_Ochiai
    The coach is indeed a conscientious person.
[13:58] (Flashback) @fb_Seto
    Wow...
[14:01] (Flashback) fb_Mimura
    I'm not done yet!
[14:02] (Flashback) fb_Seki

    The time we've spent together...
[14:25] @int_Sawamura
    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!
[15:39] @Sawamura
    Yeah!

[15:42] @Kanemaru
    Wamura!
[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!
[16:03] int_Coach
    We will continue to take the
    initiative to stay ahead.
[16:07] int_Coach
    We have to get as big a lead as possible
    before their pitcher fully recovers.

[16:17] @Sawamura
    There!

    An odd dribble! That's an interesting hit!

    I'll get on base and
    create a chance to score!
[16:29] @int_Sawamura
    The team will...
[16:35] _Umpire
    Out!
[16:36] Announcer
    Ace Sawamura slides head-first
    into first base!
[16:39] _Fan
    Is he crazy?
[16:41] _Fan
    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
    Sawamura, that...
[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.

[17:53] _Fan
    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.
[18:43] Watanabe
    He had a lot of strikeouts last game,
    so they must be pretty fast...
[18:49] Watanabe
    But I think our batters can hit them!
[18:56] _Umpire
    Strike!
[18:58] @Yui
    The first pitch was a slider?
[19:02] _Umpire
    Strike two!
[19:03] Watanabe
    Two strikes from two sliders?
[19:06] Watanabe
    He didn't pitch like
    that in the other games.

    Damn it.

    Yeah!

    and the Yura Sogo bench goes wild!
[19:51] @Kuramochi
    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.

    Time to switch gears!
[20:08] Maezono
    Just do what you need to,
    and we'll have another chance!

    Yeah!

    Sawamura, we'll hold off on the
    changeups again this inning.
[20:16] @Miyuki
    We'll pitch to contact with
    the improved cutters and two-seamers.
[20:22] @Miyuki
    If we can get momentum on our side,
    we can turn the game around.
[20:27] @Miyuki
    We just need that momentum.

    Sawamura-kun doesn't usually
    walk this many batters.

    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.
[21:25] int_Coach
    Furuya isn't even warming up.
[21:29] int_Coach
    You sure about that, Tesshin?
[21:31] int_Coach
    If you keep looking up,
[21:33] int_Coach
    I'll pull the rug out from under your feet.
[21:44] _Fan
    What? For real?
[21:48] _Fan
    They're changing pitchers?
[21:49] _Fan
    Now?!
[21:51] _Fan
    Coach Kataoka!
[21:53] _Fan
    H-He's cutting him off?
[21:59] _Fan
    It's still the fourth inning!
[22:00] _Fan
    He's the ace!
[22:16] @Sawamura
    "Get Back."
[23:48] _Coach
    Tesshin's made his move.
[23:51] _Coach
    It doesn't matter if it's just
     for one play, or even one pitch.
[23:54] _Coach
    Put everything you've built up into it!
[23:57] _Coach
    This is the part where
    a ball game gets interesting!
[24:01] @Sawamura
    We're just getting started!
    Don't think you've shown everything we've got!
[24:04] @Sawamura
    Seido baseball is so much more!
