[00:06] Um
    Out!
[00:08] R1
    He pitched only to the outside
     against both batters!
[00:12] R1
    He made the best possible relief.
[00:16] Ha
    Amazing.
[00:18] Ha
    He feels reliable,
[00:20] Ha
    but I feel like he'll do something crazy.
[00:24] Ha
    What is this feeling I get
    when Eijun-kun's pitching?
[00:31] Mi
    They're heavily focused on the inside pitch.
[00:34] Mi
    His pitch itself is pretty good,
[00:36] Mi
    so it could get interesting
    if we keep him in.
[00:40] S1
    Sawamura, nice pitch!
[00:43] Sa
    I'm starting to get nervous all of a sudden.
SIGN    Where I Am
[02:21] S1
    Let's go, Aso!
[02:30] T1
    Two outs! Two outs!
[02:32] C1
    Man, they're really tough.
[02:36] C1
    He hasn't made any
    pitching mistakes, either.
[02:40] C2
    It's a shame they've only gotten one hit so far.
[02:42] C2
    I want to see more action.
[02:46] S1
    Let's go!
[02:51] Ta
    We got our answer the moment
    their ace walked off the mound.
[02:56] Ta
    I'm the number one pitcher in my age group!
[03:03] Ta
    Dance.
[03:05] Ta
    Come on.
[03:07] Ta
    Swing your bats and dance.
[03:18] C1
    Nice! A base on balls!
[03:20] C2
    Good eye!
[03:22] Ta
    He totally swung at that.
[03:24] Ku
    Like I'd fall for that again.
[03:28] In
    They've not swinging
    at the low curveballs.
[03:32] TC
    What's the pitch count this inning?
[03:32] In
    Two outs, everyone!
[03:35] T1
    Nineteen pitches for three batters.
[03:38] TC
    He's been spending too many pitches
    per batter from the start.
[03:42] TC
    Kataoka-kun's been slowly
    putting pressure on him.
[03:49] Ta
    You think you can take me down
    if you make me pitch more?
[03:55] Ta
    In your dreams.
[03:58] C1
    He swung for the first pitch, and it's going!
[04:02] C2
    It went past the shortstop!
[04:09] T1
    Third base!
[04:12] T2
    He saw how the left fielder caught it
    and still ran straight for third.
[04:18] ---
    Safe!
[04:21] C1
    Two outs and runners on first and third!
[04:24] C2
    Our three-hole's up next!
[04:27] C3
    A base hit will tie the game!
[04:28] C3
    Anything more, and they'll turn it around!
[04:32] C1
    Let's hit a big one here, Maezono!
[04:38] C1
    If you don't hit it, who's gonna do it?
[04:45] R1
    They're waiting for a meatball
    until they're cornered.
[04:50] R1
    And once they're cornered,
    they try to foul as much as they can.
[04:54] R2
    Yeah.
[04:55] R2
    When everyone on the team bats like that,
[04:58] R2
    I'm sure it puts some pressure on their opponent.
[05:01] R2
    Even just a little bit high,
    and it could be over.
[05:06] Mi
    Zono.
[05:09] Mi
    Just swing like in practice.
[05:12] Ta
    You couldn't even touch my pitch last time.
[05:16] Ma
    My waist...
[05:20] Ta
    So you think you can touch it?
[05:22] Ma
    Above my waist...
[05:25] Ta
    Go ahead and try!
[05:29] Ma
    Above my waist!
[05:40] C1
    No!
[05:41] C1
    He popped the first pitch.
[05:46] T1
    Three outs!
[05:48] T2
    Nice one, Taiyo!
[05:50] TT
    Nice job, Teito! Nice job, Taiyo!
[05:53] TT
    Nice job, Teito! Nice job, Taiyo!
[05:55] R1
    He knew the batter wouldn't
    swing at a low pitch,
[05:59] R1
    so he baited him with a high pitch.
[06:02] R1
    It would've been a big hit
    if it had been even a bit off.
[06:05] R2
    Yeah.
[06:06] R2
    That's why Maezono-kun
    couldn't help swinging.
[06:11] R2
    He controlled his pitch to be
    just barely above the strike zone.
[06:16] R2
    What a fearless way to pitch.
[06:20] R2
    He's bold and meticulous.
[06:23] R2
    This is Taiyo Mukai.
[06:29] Ka
    Sawamura!
[06:34] TT
    Let's go, Teito! Let's go, Teito!
[06:37] TT
    Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Teito!
[06:39] S1
    One out! One out!
[06:44] Um
    Strike!
[06:45] Um
    Batter out!
[06:49] Ta
    They were all outside.
[06:52] TC
    He's only throwing to the outside.
[06:56] S1
    Two outs!
[07:00] T1
    Damn it.
[07:02] T1
    You looking down on us?
[07:09] Um
    Out!
[07:12] S1
    Nice dive, Zono!
[07:14] S2
    Yeah!
[07:15] S2
    Nice going, Sawamura!
[07:17] S2
    You went three for three this inning!
SIGN    Teito Seido
[07:27] C1
    Second one today!
[07:29] Ta
    Him again?
[07:31] Mi
    I love pitchers with good control.
[07:34] C1
    Nice.
[07:35] C1
    The first batter made it to first base.
[07:37] C2
    He hit without any runners again.
[07:40] C2
    He's starting to play like a captain.
[07:43] C1
    But Furuya's not batting anymore.
SIGN    Batting fifth and pitcher, Sawamura-kun.
[07:52] R1
    They're letting Sawamura-kun bat.
[07:56] R2
    Yeah.
[07:57] R2
    They plan to use him next inning.
[08:00] ---
    Yes!
[08:02] C1
    The rain's getting heavy again.
[08:04] C1
    They need to score this inning.
[08:07] C1
    It's the seventh inning,
    so they could call the game.
[08:18] Sa
    The mud stopped the ball.
[08:24] Um
    Safe!
[08:25] C1
    The bunt didn't work!
[08:27] C2
    Thank goodness he was safe at first base.
[08:29] Ka
    S-Sawamura messed up the bunt?
[08:32] Sa
    Damn.
[08:33] Ka
    We're really unlucky today.
[08:47] T1
    Nice! A double play!
[08:49] T2
    That's our impenetrable defense!
[08:53] R1
    Teito is just up by one run.
[08:55] R1
    But for Seido, it's one incredibly large run.
[09:00] C1
    Teito's defense is incredible.
[09:02] C1
    They haven't made any errors in this rain.
[09:05] C2
    What kind of practice do they do?
SIGN    Teito Seido
[09:07] C2
    Both teams are really good.
[09:10] C1
    I really hope they go all nine innings.
[09:15] Mi
    Not like this.
[09:17] Mi
    I won't let it end like this.
[09:21] Sa
    Let's go!
SIGN    Teito Seido
[09:29] Um
    Out!
[09:30] C1
    A fly to right field first,
    and then a grounder to second.
[09:35] C2
    Sawamura's doing great!
[09:36] C2
    He hasn't given up a hit yet!
[09:39] C3
    Wow! Even though it doesn't
    look all that fast,
[09:43] C3
    I wonder if it feels fast from the box.
[09:47] R1
    They're only pitching to the outside.
[09:50] R2
    It must be something they've been
    working on since this summer.
SIGN    Batting fourth and catcher, Inui-kun.
[10:00] R2
    One thing that worries me
[10:03] R2
    is that he hasn't made a single inside pitch.
[10:08] Um
    Strike!
[10:13] Um
    Ball!
[10:16] Um
    Foul!
[10:18] S1
    Nice! He's cornered!
[10:20] R2
    He's still only throwing to the outside.
[10:24] In
    The pitch is so far away.
[10:26] In
    And it's hard to time, too.
[10:29] Mi
    It's not going to be easy to take him out
    with ouside pitches alone.
[10:49] Ma
    Miyuki's calling for...
[10:50] Ku
    ...an inside pitch?
[10:55] Mi
    I don't need a strike.
[10:57] Mi
    Just relax.
[10:59] Mi
    If you can throw one here,
[11:01] Mi
    we can draw their attention to the inside.
[11:16] Sa
    Pitch just like I've been doing.
[11:24] Sa
    Focus right when I release the ball.
[11:27] Ku
    Come on, Sawamura.
[11:28] Ma
    You can do it!
[11:30] Ma
    To the inside!
[11:32] Sa
    Right here.
[11:40] T1
    It went behind the right fielder!
[11:45] T2
    A double!
[11:47] T3
    Nice job, Kengo!
[11:49] T3
    Nice hit there!
[11:50] TT
    Inui! Inui! Inui! Inui!
[11:53] R1
    He didn't pitch where the catcher wanted.
[11:57] Oc
    That was a low-pressure situation,
    yet he still couldn't pitch.
[12:02] Ot
    K-Kawakami!
[12:05] Mi
    Right down the middle.
[12:08] Mi
    I guess it was too soon.
[12:13] Ha
    Eijun-kun.
[12:16] S1
    Sawamura.
[12:22] Mi
    Sawamura, switch gears—
[12:28] Sa
    It's two outs, everyone!
[12:30] Sa
    We're in a bit of a bind,
    but let's stay calm!
[12:36] Sa
    A hit is a hit!
    We can't change that!
[12:38] Sa
    So don't feel down about it,
    and please move on!
[12:43] SS
    Now wait just a minute.
[12:48] TC
    What was that about?
[12:50] S1
    You're the one who needs to move on!
[12:52] S2
    And why do you sound a little mad?
[12:54] S3
    You took the words right out of our mouths!
[12:57] S4
    You idiot!
[13:01] Sa
    This is where I am.
[13:06] Sa
    The limit of my abilities.
[13:16] Sa
    There's no use getting flustered
    over what I can't do.
[13:23] Sa
    I can only pitch what I can.
[13:26] Mi
    Sheesh.
[13:27] Mi
    What a change in attitude.
[13:29] Mi
    I guess it's the upside
    to being stupid and cornered.
[13:36] Mi
    I won't let that pitch go to waste.
[13:46] C1
    He got it!
[13:47] C2
    That was a close one.
[13:50] C3
    He held down Teito's
    three-, four-, and five-holes.
[13:58] Mi
    I think that's it for today.
[14:01] Mi
    He did a good job
    with outside pitches alone.
[14:04] Ku
    That was ideal.
[14:06] Ku
    Nice pitch, stupid!
[14:10] R2
    He pitched carefully to the outside
     and allowed one big hit,
[14:15] R2
    but he didn't give up any runs in the end.
[14:19] R1
    Just two innings left,
    and they're down by one.
[14:22] R1
    The game's coming down to its final phase.
[14:25] Ka
    Nice pitching, Sawamura.
[14:28] Ka
    You did your job.
[14:31] Sa
    Thank you!
[14:32] Sa
    This is the true power of the man
    who has the power to stop the rain!
[14:36] Mi
    No, the rain hasn't stopped!
[14:38] Ku
    It's still pouring!
[14:43] Ka
    We have two more innings.
[14:45] Ka
    You know what to do.
[14:47] Ka
    Stay on their tails persistently.
[14:51] Ka
    Will we run out of energy first?
[14:54] Ka
    Or can we outlast them?
[14:57] Ka
    Don't overlook any small openings.
[15:00] SS
    Yes, sir!
[15:03] Mi
    Hit into the ground.
[15:05] Mi
    With the field all muddy,
[15:08] Mi
    fielding requires a lot more focus.
[15:11] Mi
    We need one run first.
[15:13] Mi
    Let's do this!
[15:15] SS
    Let's go!
[15:16] TC
    What's Taiyo's pitch count?
[15:18] TC
    Over 120.
[15:20] TC
    Tell Miyakawa to warm up.
[15:24] TC
    We're only up by one run.
[15:26] TC
    He should switch out,
    considering his pitch count,
[15:30] TC
    but I'm going with Taiyo here.
[15:35] TC
    Playing in high-pressure situations
    will help him grow as the ace.
[15:40] TC
    I need him to step up his game
    and take it to the next level.
[15:43] In
    Six more outs.
[15:46] In
    It's going to be tough,
    but let's stay careful.
[15:51] Ta
    I don't care about the
    pitch count, Inui-san.
[15:54] Ta
    My favorite thing to do is
    to make batters swing at balls.
[16:05] S1
    They're all tough pitches.
[16:12] Um
    Out!
[16:14] T1
    One out! One out!
[16:16] R1
    Even in the eighth inning,
    he pitches to the corners well.
[16:21] R2
    He must have a lot of confidence
    in his pitching style.
[16:25] R2
    However,
[16:26] R2
    I do feel like he's too
    attached to his style.
[16:32] R2
    It's great that he can force
    the batters to swing at balls,
[16:35] R2
    but he often gets cornered
    with 3-2 counts.
[16:39] R2
    If he pitched strikes more
    and pitched to contact,
[16:42] R2
    he could lower his pitch count.
[16:48] R2
    No matter how perfectly you pitch all game,
[16:52] R2
    one bad pitch could turn the game around.
[16:55] R2
    That's baseball.
[16:59] R2
    Which team has more luck on their side?
[17:06] C1
    He swung at a ball again!
[17:07] C1
    Strike out!
[17:12] Ta
    I love this feeling.
[17:14] S1
    It's already two outs.
[17:16] S2
    Don't go down so easily, so we can
    start well in the ninth inning!
SIGN    Batting ninth and center fielder, Tojo-kun.
[17:25] Sa
    If he comes here, then like this!
[17:27] Sa
    If he comes there, then like this!
[17:29] S1
    Sit down!
[17:32] Ka
    Tojo.
[17:34] Ka
    Don't let him have his way.
[17:38] Sa
    Tojo, like this!
[17:42] Um
    Strike!
[17:44] C1
    A sidearm crossfire.
[17:46] C1
    It's not gonna be easy to hit
    with an angle like that.
[17:51] Sa
    Not bad!
[17:54] Ka
    His speed hasn't gone down,
    even in the eighth inning.
[17:57] Ka
    What kind of practice does he do at Teito?
[18:00] Ta
    You're Tojo from
    Matsukata Senior Team, right?
[18:03] Ta
    Why are you playing outfield?
[18:07] R1
    In junior high, they played a
    good pitchers' game against each other.
[18:13] R2
    Yet Mukai-kun is already the ace at Teito.
[18:16] R2
    I'm sure Tojo-kun doesn't want to lose here.
[18:20] Ta
    I thought I could keep competing
    with you in high school,
[18:22] Ta
    but you quit being a pitcher?
[18:25] Ta
    Don't let outsiders...
[18:28] Ta
    ...take the mound!
[18:38] Ta
    With one hand?
[18:39] T1
    Second!
[18:40] T1
    Back!
[18:42] S1
    A hit!
[18:44] S2
    Nice persistence with two outs!
[18:47] Ka
    That's it!
[18:49] Sa
    Just like I told him to!
[18:51] Ha
    His lower body is really strong.
[18:54] Ha
    It's no surprise he's a former pitcher.
[18:58] To
    I haven't given up yet.
[19:00] To
    Not on the game and not on being a pitcher.
[19:04] Ta
    Oh, yeah.
[19:05] Ta
    He was the only one who hit
    my best pitch in junior high, too.
[19:09] Ta
    He pisses me off.
[19:11] S1
    Top of the lineup now!
[19:13] S2
    Let's go, Kuramochi!
[19:16] Ku
    One inning left.
[19:18] Ku
    We need to score this inning.
[19:21] Ku
    It doesn't have to be pretty.
[19:24] Ku
    My job is to connect to the next batter.
[19:39] Um
    Foul!
[19:46] R1
    Tojo-kun's putting pressure
    from the field with a big lead.
[19:55] Ta
    Why don't you run
    instead of just pretending?
[20:01] Ta
    A bunt?
[20:02] In
    With two outs?
[20:07] C1
    Will Teito get it?
[20:08] C1
    Or will he outrun them?
[20:13] C2
    The throw went wide!
[20:14] C2
    They made an error!
[20:16] SS
    Seido! Seido! Seido! Seido!
[20:20] C1
    Two outs and runners on second and third.
SIGN    Batting second and second baseman, Kominato-kun.
[20:29] Sa
    Harucchi! Let's do this!
[20:32] Sa
    Show us the glitter in your eyes,
    under your bangs!
[20:37] R1
    Kominato-kun's up at bat,
[20:40] R1
    and the runner on second
    is Kuramochi-kun.
[20:43] R1
    A base hit could turn the game around.
[20:47] T1
    And that is why.
[20:50] Ta
    Stop copying him.
[20:52] T1
    Let's do this!
[20:53] TT
    All right!
[20:58] C1
    They're loading up the bases.
[21:00] C1
    How obvious.
[21:03] C1
    It's easier to defend with the bases loaded.
[21:06] C1
    So they're avoiding
    the fight with the batter.
[21:11] Sa
    They must've discovered
    Harucchi's inner berserker.
[21:14] Sa
    That's why they're walking him.
[21:17] Ta
    Stupid.
[21:18] Ta
    This is all strategy.
[21:22] Um
    Ball.
[21:23] R2
    Get the out you can get for sure.
[21:27] R2
    It's not a new strategy.
[21:30] R2
    After all, the next batter...
[21:33] R2
    ...is Maezono-kun,
    and he hasn't hit today.
[21:37] Oc
    He never hits.
[21:40] Um
    Ball four!
[21:42] S1
    Bases loaded now.
[21:49] Mi
    Zono.
[23:31] Mi
    Bottom of the eighth, and we're
    at two outs with the bases loaded.
[23:34] Mi
    We have a big chance,
    and Maezono's going up to bat.
[23:38] Ma
    I need to wait, and then smack it head on.
[23:41] Mi
    You've got it, Zono.
[23:42] Ma
    I'll give you a beating!
[23:43] Mi
    The Teito battery stands tall before him.
[23:46] Mi
    Can he do it?
[23:48] Mi
    Next time on Ace of the Diamond S2:
    Scenario.
SIGN    Scenario
[23:51] Mi
    Let's win the national title!
