[00:00] Ma
    Right here!
[00:05] Ma
    One more!
[00:13] Ka
    What's wrong, fielders?
[00:15] Ka
    I can't hear you!
[00:16] Ku
    I'm not done yet!
[00:20] S1
    Let's go!
[00:22] S2
    Yeah!
[00:23] S3
    They're going all out already.
[00:27] S4
    Good batters come and go,
[00:30] S4
    but defense is something
    we've always been good at.
[00:34] S3
    Yeah, 'cause the coach really works
    on the fundamentals over the break.
[00:40] S2
    God, last year's training was painful.
SIGN    In The Sun
[02:16] Mi
    So, what do you think
    of the new team?
[02:20] S1
    All the good batters are gone,
    so they have less scoring potential,
[02:25] S1
    but their defense should be fine.
[02:28] S1
    They still have Kuramochi
    and Miyuki in the infield,
[02:30] S1
    and Shirasu in the outfield.
[02:33] S1
    Three of the core fielders are still there.
[02:38] S1
    It'll depend on who ends up
    making which positions.
[02:48] S2
    Dang, he's really good.
[02:50] S3
    Maybe I should play outfield instead.
[02:54] Ka
    Let's go!
[02:56] Ka
    I need to get into Team A first.
[03:02] Ka
    I'm not backing down!
[03:05] S1
    He's putting in the work.
[03:07] S1
    He's got guts.
[03:13] S2
    Sawamura!
[03:14] S3
    The idiot can field.
[03:15] S2
    He's good.
[03:18] S4
    Furuya, put away your aura!
[03:21] S1
    First base!
[03:25] (Flashback) Mi
    You have to help him
    get over it, new Captain!
[03:30] Mi
    I have to help?
[03:33] Mi
    How?
[03:35] Ka
    Catcher!
[03:37] Ka
    Third base!
[03:38] Mi
    Damn it!
[03:45] Mi
    S-Sorry!
[03:47] Ma
    Whoa! What's up, Captain?
[03:49] Ma
    Get your head in the game!
[03:50] Sa
    What's this?
[03:51] Sa
    Fired already?
[03:56] Mi
    Shoot.
[03:57] Mi
    I need to focus more.
[04:00] Ry
    Wow! That's rare.
[04:04] Is
    I'm not too sure about Miyuki
[04:07] Is
    being the Captain.
[04:09] Is
    You recommended him
    to the coach, right, Tetsu?
[04:14] Is
    It's already hard enough
    to be in charge of the pitchers.
[04:17] Is
    Why'd you give him even more work?
[04:20] Yu
    He can do it.
[04:23] Yu
    He has to do it.
[04:26] Yu
    He'll play catcher, clean-up,
    and be the captain.
[04:31] Yu
    We lost to the team
    led by a guy of that caliber.

    Batter out!
[06:10] Ha
    Nice pitch.
[06:12] K1
    He's crazy!
[06:14] K2
    He's the monster rookie
    who struck out Inashiro's batters!
[06:18] M1
    Nine strike-outs in five innings.
[06:21] M1
    He's doing great.
[06:23] Mi
    Hey, what happened to pacing yourself?
[06:26] Fu
    I'm going all-out on purpose.
[06:28] Mi
    What?
[06:30] Fu
    Because the mound at the finals
[06:32] Fu
    took more out of me than I expected.
[06:37] Mi
    I see.
[06:39] Mi
    So he's not just mindlessly pitching.
[06:42] Fu
    I'll never let anyone say
     I don't have stamina.
SIGN    After 7 Innings
[06:46] Mi
    You're completely exhausted!

[07:05] S1
    Sawamura's looking good!
[07:07] M1
    I thought it'd take a while
     for him to recover.
[07:12] Ha
    Yeah, he's tough.
[07:15] Mi
    Your control is terrible.
[07:16] Mi
    In case you didn't notice,
    the batters just messed up there.
[07:19] Sa
    Yes, I know!
[07:24] Sa
    Damn.
[07:25] Sa
    What's going on?
[07:27] Sa
    Calm down.
[07:29] KC
    A righty fastball pitcher and
    a lefty with a peculiar form.
[07:33] KC
    They're both first-years, too.
[07:35] KC
    Training them seems like so much fun.
[07:39] KC
    I'm so envious of Kataoka-san.
[07:42] Mi
    Shut up!
[07:43] Ha
    We need to line up.
SIGN    Seido Sakai
[07:45] Mi
    We kick off our pre-season with a win.

    Kawakami walks off at the fifth inning.
SIGN    Inashiro 14 Hits! Explosive Lineup!
[08:18] Ha
    Why don't you read it,
     if you're so curious?
[08:20] S1
    Inashiro won again?
[08:22] S2
    Narumiya hasn't given up
    a run at nationals yet.
SIGN    Sano Hits 140m Home Run
[08:26] S1
    They go up against the top-seeded
     Seiho next, right?
[08:30] S2
    Sixty-seven home runs in high school.
[08:32] S2
    A monster of a batter, Shuzo Sano.
SIGN    Osaka Kiryu Tachi Walks Away in Tears
[08:36] S2
    He hit a giant home run off
    Tachi-san at Osaka Kiryu.
[08:40] S2
    The team also has momentum
    from a comeback win.
[08:43] S3
    If Inashiro can beat this team,
[08:45] S3
    Narumiya and Inashiro are going
    to make national headlines.
[08:51] S4
    Narumiya versus Sano.
[08:53] S4
    I can't stop thinking about it,
    knowing this will measure Inashiro's strength.
[09:03] Is
    I don't really care.
[09:09] Is
    Whether they win or lose...
[09:12] Is
    I don't want to see it.
[09:31] Sa
    A change-up?
SIGN    Seiho Inashiro
[10:04] Sa
    Yeah!
[10:06] SC
    I see.
[10:07] SC
    Their defense is good.
[10:09] SC
    Makes sense they shut out
    two games in a row.
[10:13] SC
    Kunitomo-san has created a scary team.
[10:17] SC
    But the pitcher is the real monster here.
[10:20] SC
    He must've been through a lot
    to be able to look down at our batters.
[10:27] SC
    Listen, Shuzo.
[10:28] SC
    You won't come across
    a game like this often.
[10:31] SC
    But don't get caught up in the moment.
[10:34] SC
    We're not here to make memories.
[10:36] SC
    We're here to win!

    I could use some runs right now.
[11:11] An
    Right into the open outfield!
[11:14] An
    Inashiro gets two runs
    at the bottom of the eighth!
SIGN    Seiho Inashiro
SIGN    The cleanup offsets the balance with his bat!
SIGN    And we go into the ninth inning.
SIGN    This is the last chance for Seiho.
SIGN    Iguchi has been closing the past two games for Inashiro,
SIGN    but it looks like the ace is closing the game this time!
SIGN    It's two outs, and there's a runner on second.
SIGN    Seiho's putting up their last struggle.
SIGN    After striking out at his last two at-bats,
SIGN    he's been completely suppressed by Narumiya,
SIGN    but the monster is at-bat!
[11:54] Na
    He definitely has something special
[11:58] Na
    to get up to bat in the critical moments.
[12:03] Sa
    Throw me that pitch.
[12:08] Sa
    Show me your change-up
[12:11] Sa
    one more time!
[12:21] Sa
    Crap.
[12:23] Na
    When you're so open
    about what pitch you want,
[12:26] Na
    there's no way I'd give it to you.
[12:29] Na
    I already paid a hefty price
    for that lesson back in Tokyo.

    Man, he really is a monster.
[13:05] A3
    It's not really that surprising.
[13:08] A2
    Akira.
[13:10] (Flashback) Na
    You should go home
    with your head held high.
[13:13] (Flashback) Na
    You only lost to the best team
    in the country this season.
[13:20] A3
    He couldn't act so big if he wasn't serious.

    Maybe even the majors will want him.

    Man, I want money.

[14:08] Mi
    Stop acting.
[14:09] Ku
    Well,
[14:11] Ku

[15:32] KC
    We know it's the semifinals,

[15:37] Fu
    I could've kept going.
[15:40] Mi
    Furuya started the game,

    and Sawamura switched in
    from the sixth inning.
[16:01] Mi
    I told you your control is terrible!

[17:31] Sa
    Construction of the stadium was completed

[18:48] Sa
    B-But it was...
[18:51] Sa
    But I was the weak link.

    "What drives you so much?"
[19:09] Sa
    "Why do you fight so hard?"
