**[00:01] C1**
Focus right here!
**[00:03] Is**
Smack it, Tetsu!
**[00:06] Ha**
Let's go!
**[00:08] S1**
You've got this.
**[00:10] S2**
Come on, Leader!
**[00:35] Na**
*I can hear you all loud and clear,*
**[00:39] Na**
*even if you don't scream.*
**[00:41] Na**
* It's the ace's job to meet*
* everyone's expectations.*
**[00:50] Na**
*I still have to redeem myself at nationals.*
**[00:55] Na**
*So I'll...*
**[01:01] Na**
*I'll perfect this pitch right here, and...*
**[01:14] Na**
*...we'll go to nationals!*
**[01:26] Ch**
*A change-up?*
**[01:29] Ma**
*Yes!*
**[01:31] Ma**
*We've got him off balance.*
***SIGN*** Fearless
**[03:08] Na**
*So I'll...*
**[03:15] Na**
*I'll perfect this pitch right here, and...*
**[03:27] Na**
*...we'll go to nationals!*
**[03:38] Ch**
*A change-up?*
**[03:41] Ma**
*Yes!*
**[03:43] Ma**
*We've got him off balance.*
**[04:04] Ka**
Yes!
**[04:11] Is**
Yeah!
**[04:13] I1**
Carlos!
**[04:14] Sa**
Come on!
***SIGN*** Both the second and third base runners scored!
***SIGN*** The cleanup turned the game around with a clean hit!
***SIGN*** Yuki's RBI double in the eighth inning
***SIGN*** finally puts Seido on top!
**[04:43] (Flashback) Yu**
We'll put you back on the mound again!
**[05:11] Ry**
It's not over yet.
**[05:17] CC**
Seido! Seido! Seido!
**[05:21] Ma**
*The control was fine.*
**[05:24] Ma**
* Though ideally, he could've*
* pitched with one ball fewer.*
**[05:30] CC**
Seido! Seido! Seido!
**[05:34] Na**
Wow!
**[05:36] Na**
I will have no words if he can hit that.
**[05:39] Na**
The batter is just that good.
**[05:44] Ma**
Mei.
**[05:46] Ma**
Y-Yeah.
**[05:48] Ma**
They still have a runner.
**[05:50] Ma**
We can't lower our guard yet.
**[05:53] Ma**
There are two outs,
so be careful with your first pitch.
**[05:56] Na**
I know.
**[06:01] Ma**
*There's no way he isn't frustrated.*
**[06:03] Ma**
*But he's keeping calm.*
**[06:04] Na**
Two outs!
**[06:16] Sa**
Masuko! Masuko!
**[06:19] Sa**
Mas—
**[06:26] Ka**
Yes!
**[06:27] Ka**
The first pitch!
**[06:28] Ka**
Let's go!
**[06:33] Ma**
Damn, Carlos.
**[06:37] C1**
So close!
**[06:38] R1**
He caught it again.
**[06:39] R2**
The first pitch right after a hit.
**[06:42] R2**
That was the right call.
***SIGN*** Three outs to retire the side.
***SIGN*** Ace Narumiya somehow got the final out,
***SIGN*** but he gave up three runs this inning,
***SIGN*** and ended up giving Seido the lead!
**[06:58] Ca**
*Mei.*
**[07:03] Sa**
That was close!
**[07:04] Sa**
Very close, Masuko-senpai!
**[07:07] Is**
Tetsuo!
**[07:08] S1**
Tetsu-san!
**[07:12] S2**
Nice batting.
**[07:13] S3**
Nice, Tetsu!
**[07:14] Is**
You hogged the spotlight!
**[07:17] S1**
What happened to ignoring the change-up?
**[07:19] Is**
Were you aiming for it?
**[07:23] Yu**
No.
**[07:24] Yu**
I don't remember what I hit.
**[07:28] Yu**
I was on second before I realized it.
**[07:32] Ot**
He doesn't remember?
**[07:33] Ch**
*His focus on the ball is unparalleled.*
**[07:36] Mi**
*You've gotta be kidding me.*
**[07:43] Is**
I could never beat you in a million years.
**[07:47] Yu**
Hm?
***SIGN*** Hm?
**[07:48] Yu**
What?
***SIGN*** What?
**[07:50] Is**
Nothing!
**[07:52] Is**
Nothing at all, Captain!
**[07:55] Ta**
Tetsu!
**[08:03] Ry**
I won't tell anyone you were crying.
**[08:07] Is**
All right!
**[08:08] Is**
Let's defend!
**[08:10] Ka**
Kawakami, can you go?
**[08:15] Ka**
The next two innings are going
to be up to you and Sawamura.
**[08:22] Mi**
Do it again!
**[08:28] Is**
Sawamura! Stay focused!
**[08:31] Yu**
One at a time!
**[08:32] Ku**
Don't rush!
**[08:35] Ta**
We may have turned it around,
**[08:37] Ta**
but we're only up by one!
**[08:38] Ta**
Don't forget to stay
aggressive until the end!
**[08:41] SS**
Yes, sir!
**[08:44] Na**
Damn it!
**[08:46] Na**
Damn it! Damn it!
**[08:48] Na**
No! No! No!
**[08:52] Na**
Damn it!
**[09:03] Na**
Wow!
**[09:05] Na**
I feel refreshed.
**[09:09] S1**
Sure doesn't sound like it.
**[09:12] Na**
No, I do!
**[09:13] Na**
Now I do!
**[09:14] Na**
I feel very cool now!
**[09:18] Na**
It's not over yet.
**[09:20] Na**
We haven't lost yet.
**[09:21] S1**
Oh, you're more levelheaded than I thought.
**[09:25] Ca**
*Thought he'd go crazier,*
**[09:29] Ca**
* but he managed to stay calm*
* on the mound, so good on him.*
**[09:33] Na**
Can I have something to drink?
**[09:39] Ma**
*We have two more innings to score.*
**[09:45] Ma**
*We won't let it end like this.*
***SIGN*** Bottom of the eighth, and Inashiro is up to bat.
***SIGN*** Batting sixth, first baseman, Yamaoka-kun.
**[09:56] Is**
He hits long!
**[09:58] Ry**
Well, shall we scream until our lungs bleed?
**[10:08] Sa**
*Two more innings.*
**[10:11] Sa**
*If we can defend two more innings,*
**[10:16] Sa**
*we're going to nationals.*
**[10:21] Sa**
*To be honest,*
**[10:24] Sa**
*I have no idea what nationals will be like.*
**[10:29] Sa**
*But I know one thing.*
**[10:33] Sa**
*I'm not scared.*
**[10:36] Sa**
*Everyone's so reliable.*
**[10:39] Sa**
*This team is invincible.*
**[10:42] Sa**
*We won't lose,*
**[10:45] Sa**
*no matter who we play.*
**[10:48] Um**
Ball!
***SIGN*** The first pitch goes slightly wide.
**[10:52] I1**
*So this is the pitch.*
**[10:54] I1**
*I can't see his pitching arm at all.*
**[10:59] Mi**
* Our biggest concern*
* with Yamaoka is his power.*
**[11:03] Mi**
*He can take any easy pitch to the outfield.*
**[11:10] Mi**
*This inning is the key.*
**[11:12] Mi**
* If we can't hold this inning*
* without giving up a run,*
**[11:15] Mi**
*we can seize the momentum!*
**[11:18] Um**
Foul!
**[11:19] Ma**
Yeah!
**[11:20] Ma**
Keep going!
**[11:21] Ka**
But don't get cocky!
**[11:23] Ka**
You got that?
**[11:25] Ka**
You always do something extra!
**[11:28] Mi**
*Yes.*
**[11:29] Mi**
*His pitch looks good.*
**[11:30] Mi**
*Now, it's your will.*
**[11:34] Mi**
*Throw with everything you have!*
**[11:37] I1**
*Damn, I can't figure out the timing.*
**[11:39] I2**
Yamaoka! Let's go!
**[11:43] IC**
*Don't let their battery fool you.*
**[11:46] IC**
*It's not a pitch you can't tap.*
**[11:50] IC**
* If you stay tenacious,*
* he'll give you an easy pitch.*
**[12:01] I1**
*A crossfire?*
**[12:03] Sa**
Left field!
**[12:04] Is**
Go forward, Furuya!
**[12:05] Is**
It's falling short!
**[12:09] I1**
Yeah! Nice!
**[12:11] I2**
Run for it!
**[12:13] A1**
Did he get a late start?
**[12:15] A2**
Yeah. And he was defending too deep.
***SIGN*** No outs and a runner on first!
***SIGN*** Inashiro is quickly fighting back!
**[12:26] IC**
*In the tournament final,*
**[12:29] IC**
* they have three inexperienced*
* first-years on the field.*
**[12:34] IC**
*We'll have plenty of chances to strike.*
***SIGN*** Inashiro has a runner on first with no outs at the bottom of the eighth.
***SIGN*** Seventh batter and second baseman, Hirai, is at bat.
**[12:51] Mi**
*Yamaoka has speed.*
**[12:52] Mi**
*I'm sure they'll advance him with a bunt.*
**[12:54] Mi**
*Don't get careless, Sawamura.*
**[12:57] Mi**
*Let's get the outs we can definitely get.*
**[13:06] Mi**
*Third!*
**[13:08] Mi**
*Can we make second?*
**[13:11] Ma**
Sa-Sawamura!
**[13:13] S1**
Don't be rash!
**[13:16] Um**
Out!
**[13:20] Sa**
Yes!
***SIGN*** Sawamura got that one quickly!
***SIGN*** The runner was out at second!
**[13:26] Ma**
Sawamura!
**[13:27] Sa**
One out!
**[13:28] C1**
That was dangerous!
**[13:31] Mi**
* If Masuko-senpai hadn't noticed,*
* you would've collided.*
**[13:34] Mi**
* I can't say anything*
* because he got the out,*
**[13:37] Mi**
*but that could've ended terribly for us.*
**[13:43] IC**
* That was a risky play*
* which came from inexperience,*
**[13:47] IC**
*but the result is everything.*
**[13:49] IC**
*I guess the momentum is still in their favor.*
***SIGN*** Batting eighth, left fielder, Soyogi-kun.
**[13:56] I1**
*Damn.*
**[13:58] I1**
* I wanted to send him*
* to second to get us rolling.*
**[14:01] Sa**
*Hmmm! Are you gonna run?*
**[14:04] Mi**
*That's a big lead.*
**[14:13] Um**
Safe!
***SIGN*** What a throw from the catcher!
**[14:16] Sa**
Wow!
**[14:17] An**
The first base runner barely made it back!
**[14:20] I1**
*That was close.*
**[14:22] I1**
*His shoulder's crazy.*
**[14:27] I1**
*But...*
**[14:29] I1**
*I can't just back down, either.*
**[14:33] Sa**
*Hmm!*
***SIGN*** Hmm!
**[14:35] Sa**
*Hmmm!*
***SIGN*** Hmmm!
**[14:40] Mi**
*I guess you won't give up so easily.*
**[14:49] Mi**
*Leave the runner to me.*
**[14:53] Mi**
*You just give me...*
**[14:56] Mi**
*...your best pitch right here.*
**[15:01] IC**
*Inside pitch, Soyogi.*
**[15:04] IC**
* He doesn't have the control*
* to pitch to the corners yet.*
**[15:09] IC**
* He'll give you an inside pitch*
* if you're patient.*
**[15:13] IC**
*Don't give a fearless first-year any momentum.*
**[15:20] Sa**
*He must be crazy.*
**[15:23] Sa**
* He's asking for this pitch*
* right here with no warm-up?*
**[15:27] Ka**
Let's go, Sawamura!
**[15:30] Is**
Strike him out!
**[15:32] Ku**
Be aggressive!
**[15:35] Sa**
*But...*
**[15:37] Sa**
* If he's telling me to throw it,*
* then he trusts me, right?*
**[15:41] Sa**
*That I can do it.*
**[15:53] I1**
*Inside.*
**[15:54] I1**
*Right where I wanted it!*
***SIGN*** Out!
***SIGN*** It's a double play!
***SIGN*** We go into the next inning!
**[16:11] Sa**
Yeah!
**[16:14] I1**
*Was that pitch...*
***SIGN*** Inashiro couldn't score in the bottom of the eighth!
***SIGN*** They got a runner on base, but then went down after three batters!
**[16:23] IM**
Coach, what was that pitch?
**[16:29] I1**
*That pitch turned even more from that angle.*
**[16:32] I1**
*Can this first-year throw a cutter?*
**[16:42] Ha**
*Sawamura-kun!*
**[16:46] Wa**
*Eijun!*
**[16:48] Sa**
How was it?
**[16:49] Sa**
How was that pitch?
**[16:51] Sa**
It felt really good to me, personally!
**[16:54] Mi**
*He sure has guts.*
**[16:56] Mi**
*He throws well when it counts.*
**[16:59] Mi**
It was your best so far.
**[17:01] Mi**
Nothing I can say about it.
**[17:03] Ha**
Eijun-kun, nice pitch.
**[17:06] Ha**
What's with that face?
**[17:11] SS**
Sawamura!
**[17:14] Ku**
Nice pitch, stupid!
**[17:17] Is**
Don't get cocky!
**[17:21] R1**
One inning left.
**[17:24] R1**
The game's completely turned around.
**[17:27] R2**
Yeah.
**[17:28] R2**
In the top of the eighth,
Narumiya-kun gave up three runs.
**[17:34] R2**
I doubt Inashiro saw that coming.
**[17:39] R2**
*And the one who started all of this is...*
**[17:45] R2**
*In single-elimination tournaments,*
**[17:48] R2**
* pitchers sometime make*
* miraculous plays after relieving.*
**[17:52] R2**
* He reminds me of Narumiya-kun*
* against Seido from last year*
**[17:57] R2**
* even though their styles*
* are completely different.*
**[18:05] I1**
A cutter?
**[18:08] IM**
We don't have records of that.
**[18:10] Ca**
So that battery threw
a pitch they just learned?
**[18:17] Na**
He just got lucky with that pitch.
**[18:21] Na**
You won't make it to nationals with just luck.
**[18:26] Ma**
*Mei.*
**[18:31] I1**
Nice pitch!
**[18:32] I1**
It's looking good, Iguchi-san!
**[18:37] I1**
* Iguchi-san's a third-year and this is*
* his last tournament, so he's highly motivated.*
**[18:42] I1**
* He should be able to pitch*
* normally in any situation.*
**[18:46] I1**
*But...*
**[18:48] I1**
* Who knew we'd go into the last*
* inning one run behind?*
***SIGN*** Top of the ninth, and Seido is up to bat.
***SIGN*** Batting sixth, catcher, Miyuki-kun.
**[19:05] CC**
Aim and hit!
**[19:09] Ma**
* They don't have any runners,*
* but he's still dangerous.*
***SIGN*** In the final inning, Inashiro's ace, Narumiya is once again on the mound.
***SIGN*** He gave Seido the lead, but it's only by one run.
***SIGN*** In order to come back in the bottom, he can't give up any runs.
**[19:27] A1**
Narumiya's still pitching?
**[19:31] A2**
No surprise here. He's the ace.
**[19:34] A3**
I wonder if he's recovered from the last inning.
**[19:36] A4**
Masuko got a good one off him, too.
***SIGN*** First pitch is a forkball!
***SIGN*** Miyuki misses!
**[19:49] R1**
A breaking ball from the first pitch?
**[19:51] R1**
They're very careful.
**[19:53] R2**
Of course.
**[19:54] R2**
They can't give up any runs.
**[19:58] R2**
They need to be careful of balls, though,
**[20:02] R2**
so I'm sure they want
to corner the batter fast.
**[20:07] Mi**
*I can't hit his breaking balls, anyway.*
**[20:10] Mi**
*So I might as well just gamble on his fastball!*
***SIGN*** Straight down right field!
**[20:23] Fu**
He hit.
**[20:24] Sa**
Without a runner!
***SIGN*** Seido isn't slowing down!
***SIGN*** Their powerful batters are giving Kanto's best pitcher a hard time!
***SIGN*** With no outs, there's a runner in scoring position!
**[20:36] Ma**
Yeah!
**[20:37] Ma**
Nice batting!
**[20:40] Mi**
*That was perfect.*
**[20:41] Mi**
*I couldn't even do that in practice.*
**[20:44] Na**
*Damn.*
**[20:45] Mi**
*Sorry, Mei.*
**[20:48] Mi**
* Looks like we still have*
* the momentum from last inning.*
***SIGN*** Next up to bat is Furuya, who got two hits today
***SIGN*** and created the opportunity for Seido to come back.
**[20:58] Sa**
Furuya!
**[20:59] Sa**
Get on base!
**[21:01] Sa**
I'll do the rest!
**[21:10] 31**
*Seido's used a relay to win so far,*
**[21:13] 31**
* while Inashiro's relied on*
* their unparalleled ace pitcher.*
**[21:17] 31**
*If they can...*
**[21:19] 31**
*If they can force the ace off the mound...*
**[21:23] 32**
*In this inning,*
**[21:25] 32**
*get one more run.*
**[21:29] 33**
If you want to go to the nationals,
**[21:31] 33**
get another run off Narumiya!
**[21:37] CC**
Get aggressive!
**[23:36] Sa**
Seido is still looking to score!
**[23:38] Sa**
And guess who's up at bat?
**[23:39] Mi**
*Just get ready, stupid.*
**[23:41] Sa**
That's right! Me!
**[23:43] Ma**
* Mei, let's defend here and*
* transition into our attack.*
**[23:45] Na**
*I know, Masa-san.*
**[23:47] Na**
*I left something at the nationals.*
**[23:49] Na**
*I'll do whatever it takes to go back!*
**[23:52] Na**
Next time on *Ace of the Diamond*:
Lonely Sun.
***SIGN*** Lonely Sun
**[23:55] Sa**
Let's win the national title!
**[23:57] Na**
Damn.
**[23:58] ---**
