[00:03] Is
    I got it!
[00:06] Is
    Yeah!
[00:06] Yu
    One out, Tanba!
[00:08] Ry
    Pretty good. Nice pitch!
[00:11] Ta
    Yes! I beat Furuya!
[00:17] Mi
    Zono!
[00:18] Mi
    Aren't you up next?
[00:20] Ma
    I-I'm sorry!
[00:26] Ma
    What the hell?
[00:30] Ma
    He didn't tell us anything!
SIGN    Guiding Light
[02:11] C1
    A double play?
[02:13] C2
    What a waste.
[02:14] C2
    So much for no outs and a runner on first.
[02:17] Is
    Just what we ordered, idiots!
[02:20] Is
    You guys really trying to score?
[02:22] Is
    I'm not feeling any pressure from you guys!
[02:24] Ry
    Yeah.
[02:26] Is
    Playing you guys is easy!
[02:31] Mi
    Can't say a single thing back, can you?
[02:33] Mi
    You're so out of it.
[02:35] Ku
    Miyuki!
[02:40] Ku
    Did you know about it?
[02:44] Mi
    Know what?
[02:53] Ka
    What are you doing?
    Get out onto the field!
[02:57] Mi
    Yes, sir! We'll be right out.
[03:01] Mi
    Let's go.
[03:04] Ma
    What's wrong with you?
[03:06] Ma
    It doesn't bother you?
[03:08] Ma
    You actually knew, didn't you?
[03:11] Mi
    What? Of course not.
[03:13] Mi
    But I thought maybe
    that could be the case,
[03:16] Mi
    since the new assistant coach
    isn't from this school.
[03:22] (Flashback) Oc
    I don't switch out the ace,
     no matter what.
SIGN    Just connected the dots
[03:25] Fu
    Oh!
[03:27] Fu
    That's what he meant.
[03:30] Mi
    In any case, we can talk about this later.
[03:33] Mi
    Let's focus on the game right now.
[03:35] Mi
    The third-years went out of their way for us.
[03:45] Ma
    After the fall...
[03:48] Ku
    ...he's quitting?
[03:51] S1
    That's why the third-years
[03:54] S1
    moved their retirement game?
[04:00] Ma
    What can we do as the current team?
[04:05] Ku
    How do we make it up
    to the coach and the third-years?
[04:14] Sa
    Does this kind of stuff happen often?
[04:19] Ka
    Well, it's definitely not a rare case.
[04:22] Ka
    Especially from schools like ours
    that aim for nationals.
[04:27] Ka
    What took so long?
[04:28] Mi
    I'm sorry.
[04:30] Sa
    We're just first-years.
[04:33] Sa
    To be honest,
[04:35] Sa
    I'm not sure how to process this.
[04:38] Sa
    But I know one thing for sure.
[04:43] Sa
    I haven't...
[04:46] Fu
    I haven't...
[04:49] SF
    ...been acknowledged by him yet.
[04:56] Mi
    Okay!
[04:57] Mi
    Last one!
[05:00] (Flashback) Yu
    Don't show it, no matter how rough it is.
[05:04] (Flashback) Yu
    If you look lost, the team will be lost.
[05:07] (Flashback) Yu
    What you say, what you do...
[05:10] (Flashback) Yu
    Your teammates see everything.
[05:14] (Flashback) Yu
    Don't ever forget that.
[05:17] (Flashback) Yu
    You have to guide the team.
SIGN    First, Second-Years Third-Years
[05:26] Is
    Let's do this!
[05:28] Is
    These guys all look asleep,
[05:31] Is
    so give them a wake up call, Sakai!
[05:33] S1
    All right.
[05:34] Is
    Especially the pitcher!
[05:36] Is
    He can't even throw where he wants!
[05:39] Is
    Let's kick him off the mound!
[05:42] C1
    This is a game for the third-years,
[05:45] C1
    and they're really showing up.
[05:47] C2
    It's like they're the ones in season.
[05:50] Is
    Crush those whippersnappers!
[05:52] Ry
    Whippersnappers?
[05:55] Mi
    Furuya!
[05:57] Mi
    Don't worry about pacing!
[06:00] Mi
    Just go all out!
[06:03] Mi
    These guys aren't easy to take out.
[06:07] Mi
    So don't worry about pacing,
[06:09] Mi
    and just throw the best pitch you can!
[06:12] Ot
    What?
[06:14] Ot
    He wants him to go all out?
[06:16] Oc
    Well, that's new.
[06:20] Mi
    Let's crush these third-years by force!
[06:28] Mi
    We're gonna be doing
    some head-to-head face-offs,
[06:32] Mi
    so be sure to pick up
    all the hits over there!
[06:37] Ku
    Are you nuts?
[06:39] Ku
    Furuya's going crazy!
[06:41] Ku
    You're gonna turn him
    into another idiot!
SIGN    The original idiot
[06:44] Sa
    That's right!
[06:45] Sa
    Give us more precise and witty
    instructions like a true captain would!
[06:49] Is
    Bring it on, Miyuki!
[06:51] Is
    We'll take you on!
[06:54] Is
    Don't knock yourselves out
    with a bunch of walks!
[07:15] Ta
    U-Unbelievable.
[07:18] C1
    Two strikeouts in a row.
[07:20] C2
    No one got on base this inning!
[07:23] Is
    So this is Furuya's real fastball.
[07:26] Ry
    This game's getting interesting.
[07:28] Ku
    Are you guys dumb?
[07:30] Ku
    Those were mostly right down the middle!
[07:32] Ku
    Furuya, put away your aura!
[07:34] Ku
    You're not gonna keep
    pitching like this, are you?
[07:37] Mi
    Of course we are.
[07:38] ---
    Huh?
[07:39] Ku
    It's not gonna work against
    the top of their lineup!
[07:42] Ku
    It's too reckless!
[07:44] Mi
    But... Isn't it exciting?
[07:52] Mi
    I know it's not easy finding out
    about the coach right now,
[07:56] Mi
    but we're in the middle of a game.
[07:59] ---
    Let's go!
[08:00] Mi
    The third-years are giving us their best.
[08:03] Mi
    The least we can do is pay them
    respect and answer in kind!
[08:19] S1
    Two outs!
[08:21] Mi
    I think it'll be difficult
    to hit off Tanba-san today.
[08:26] Mi
    We need to target one pitch and
    swing offensively until we're cornered.
[08:30] (Flashback) Ka
    Don't overthink it.
[08:32] (Flashback) Ka
    Just do what you can the best you can.
[08:35] Mi
    If we get a runner,
[08:36] Mi
    we'll need to follow up
    to get into scoring positions.
[08:39] Mi
    Let's do what the coach tells us every day.
[08:47] Um
    Strike! Batter out!
[08:51] C1
    Tanba's answering with strikeouts, too.
[08:53] C2
    He's on a roll!
[08:55] C3
    Against his underclassmen.
[08:56] Is
    You idiot!
[08:58] Is
    Why couldn't you do that during the summer?
[09:00] Is
    I can't believe your leg cramped!
[09:03] Ta
    I was just thinking that, too! Damn it!
[09:06] Ry
    It's only been three innings, though.
[09:08] Mi
    Let's switch gears!
[09:09] Mi
    We'll catch up slowly!
SIGN    First, Second-Years Third-Years
SIGN    Bottom of 3rd
    2 Outs
    Runner on 1st
[09:18] Ma
    Furuya! Runner!
[09:25] Ry
    He's a little too focused on the batter.
[09:29] Ku
    No way.
[09:31] Ku
    He's going head-to-head
    against Tetsu-san, too.
[09:38] S1
    Smack it, Tetsu!
[09:40] S2
    You've got this, Furuya!
[09:42] Mi
    Give me the pitch you got Todoroki with.
[09:45] Mi
    If you can pitch it low, we've got this.
[09:49] Ku
    Runner!
[10:01] S1
    He struck out Tetsu-san!
[10:04] Sa
    No way, Furuya! It was a fluke!
[10:06] Ka
    Wow! Nice and low!
[10:06] [SONG] On-screen
    Jammed
    a grounder
    to third
[10:08] Ka
    Best pitch today!
[10:10] S1
    Yeah!
[10:11] C1
    That's his fifth strikeout this game!
[10:14] C2
    He's been going full throttle
    since the second inning!
[10:18] Yu
    The splitter flashed for a second there.
SIGN    Smile
[10:23] [SONG] On-screen
    Heated
[10:23] Mi
    Thank goodness going all out
    worked in our favor.
[10:27] Mi
    He could've completely destroyed himself
    with walks if we weren't lucky.
[10:32] Ka
    All right!
[10:32] Ka
    We're back to the top of the lineup.
[10:34] S1
    Let's do this, Kuramochi!
[10:36] Ot
    The first and second-years
    are looking energetic now.
[10:38] Re
    Looks like Furuya-kun's pitching
    has revitalized the team.
[10:41] Oc
    He's always been that level of player.
[10:45] Mi
    Kawakami, Sawamura!
[10:47] Mi
    Make sure you guys can go in at any time!
[10:51] Fu
    I'm getting switched?
[10:52] Ka
    Okay—
SIGN    I'm ready!
[10:54] Sa
    I can go now!
[10:56] Mi
    Relax!
[10:58] Mi
    It's not every day you get to
    experience such a thrilling lineup.
[11:01] Ku
    Hey.
[11:02] Ku
    I understand Kawakami, but Sawamura, too?
[11:06] Sa
    Don't look so disappointed.
SIGN    Ignore
[11:09] Sa
    Good job!
[11:10] Sa
    Good job, buddy!
[11:13] Mi
    Yeah.
[11:14] Mi
    I want him to experience this.
[11:17] Mi
    He needs it for the future.
[11:24] Mi
    This summer break,
[11:26] Mi
    nothing was going right,
[11:29] Mi
    and my worries only grew by the day.
[11:34] Mi
    But finding out about
    the coach made things easier.
[11:41] Mi
    Let's win this fall.
[11:46] Ma
    What are you saying?
[11:48] Mi
    We don't have the
    tournament schedule yet,
[11:51] Mi
    and maybe it'll just put
    more pressure on the team,
[11:55] Mi
    but if we win in the fall,
[11:58] Mi
    we'll go to the invitational.
[12:08] Mi
    I don't know if the coach
    or the school decided it,
[12:15] Mi
    but if we make nationals,
[12:18] Mi
    he can't quit.
[12:31] C1
    There it is!
[12:32] C2
    Kuramochi, nice batting!
[12:36] Ku
    Damn! He's nuts.
[12:38] Mi
    Let's follow up!
[12:41] (Flashback) Mi
    ...but if we make nationals,
[12:45] (Flashback) Mi
    he can't quit.
[12:47] S1
    Win?
[12:50] Ma
    It's not that easy.
[12:54] Sa
    Nationals?
[12:57] Yu
    Steal!
[12:59] Mi
    After all the pickoffs?
[13:01] Mi
    No way!
[13:05] Ku
    Are you serious?
[13:08] Ku
    Do you know just how hard
[13:11] Ku
    and narrow the path is?
[13:16] Ku
    It's way easier said than done.
[13:19] Ku
    You should know that!
[13:25] Um
    Safe!
[13:26] S1
    Nice steal!
[13:28] C1
    Wow! A dive.
[13:31] C2
    Nice move, Kuramochi.
[13:33] Oc
    His speed is useful.
[13:42] Ku
    Damn!
[13:43] Ku
    I don't like the feeling that
    Miyuki is telling us what to do,
[13:48] Ku
    but we don't have a choice.
[13:50] Ku
    We've gotta do it!
[13:53] C1
    Kominato, follow up!
[13:55] (Flashback) Ha
    It's our first and last chance
    to make nationals together.
[14:00] (Flashback) Ha
    I want to go to nationals.
[14:03] Ha
    I wanted to go with my brother.
[14:07] Ha
    That goal is impossible now,
[14:14] Ha
    but I'll go...
[14:17] Ha
    ...in his stead!
[14:25] C1
    Wow! He caught it!
[14:29] Ku
    That was close.
[14:35] Ry
    You thought you had me?
[14:37] Ry
    It's not that easy.
[14:43] S1
    One out! One out!
[14:49] Um
    Strike!
[14:51] C1
    Another strikeout!
[14:55] S1
    Two outs!
[14:56] S1
    Nice pitch, Tanba!
[14:59] Mi
    Yeah, it was a really good pitch,
[15:02] Mi
    but you've gotta swing the bat.
[15:06] S1
    Damn it!
[15:15] Mi
    Man...
[15:17] Mi
    His fastball's really fast today.
[15:24] (Flashback) Mi
    But no matter what
    breaking ball you throw,
[15:27] (Flashback) Mi
    it's the fastball
    that brings it to life.
[15:29] (Flashback) Mi
    Please don't ever forget that.
[15:34] Mi
    He's cornered, and he's smiling.
[15:37] Mi
    Now, let's take out our bigmouth
[15:40] Mi
    second-year.
[15:42] Ta
    With this!
[15:48] (Flashback) Mi
    Following the same path as a fastball,
[15:50] (Flashback) Mi
    it drops right in front of
    the batter like a sinker.
[15:56] Mi
    To be honest,
[15:57] Mi
    I didn't think it would be this amazing
    until I caught it personally,
[16:00] Mi
    Tanba-san.
[16:02] Ta
    Damn! He saw it coming.
[16:11] Is
    Damn it!
[16:13] Ku
    Yeah!
[16:14] C1
    That's a run!
[16:17] C2
    Miyuki got an RBI single!
[16:19] C3
    The first and second-years
    are coming back!
[16:23] Ku
    The game's just getting started!
[16:27] Fu
    You've got this, Furuya!
[16:28] S1
    Let's go!
[16:30] Mi
    Thank goodness I hit that.
[16:33] Mi
    I would've been a laughingstock, otherwise.
[16:40] Is
    Don't get cocky from a single run!
[16:43] Is
    We're not that easy!
[17:00] Um
    Out!
[17:01] S1
    Nice!
[17:02] C1
    Kominato's always at the right place.
[17:04] C2
    They held the three, four,
    and five-holes with one run.
[17:08] S1
    Nice pitch!
[17:10] S1
    Sawamura, let's drop the pace a little!
[17:14] S1
    He doesn't know if he'll even get to pitch.
[17:19] (Flashback) Mi
    If we win the fall,
    we'll go to the invitational.
[17:25] Ta
    All right!
[17:26] Ry
    Nice work.
[17:29] Sa
    Going back in...
[17:32] Sa
    ...since I walked off that day.
[17:36] Sa
    As I am now,
[17:40] Sa
    how useful am I to the team?
[17:47] (Flashback) Ch
    You've only known to pitch offensively,
[17:51] (Flashback) Ch
    but this was the pitch
    I actually wanted you to learn.
[17:57] Sa
    Kariba, let's go!
[17:58] S1
    We're doing more?
SIGN    Top of 7th
SIGN    Bottom of 8th
[18:29] C1
    Kawakami shut down
    the seventh and eighth innings!
[18:31] C2
    Looks like he's fully back!
[18:33] Mi
    Not even close.
[18:35] Mi
    The outfielders are still doing
    a lot of the work.
[18:38] Mi
    In the end, he walked Tetsu-san, too.
[18:42] Mi
    There's a difference between pitching low
[18:44] Mi
    and running away.
SIGN    Switched at bottom of fifth
SIGN    First, Second-Years Third-Years
[18:50] C1
    They're just one run short after eight innings.
[18:53] C1
    Not bad against the third-years.
[18:55] C2
    Furuya and Kawakami are holding down
    the third-years to three runs.
[18:59] C1
    I don't mean to compare,
[19:01] C1
    but we don't have the explosive
    lineup like last year's, anymore.
[19:13] To
    A home run!
[19:15] Ka
    There it is!
[19:16] Ka
    Zono-senpai's much-awaited hit!
[19:20] Ry
    You had to give it away, didn't you?
[19:24] Ka
    He's running so fast!
[19:27] Ku
    Calm down, Zono!
[19:29] Is
    About time you hit like yourself.
[19:32] Is
    You don't need to hit
    to the right all the time.
[19:35] Is
    Just swing the bat.
[19:38] Is
    You're not like me.
[19:41] Is
    You're a pull hitter.
[19:44] Is
    Why are you more surprised than anyone?
[19:49] Is
    Stop crying!
[19:53] Ka
    Nice batting, Zono-senpai!

    We've tied the game!

    Sawamura.
[20:02] Mi
    You're in next inning.
[20:05] S1
    You got your chance,
    thanks to Zono-senpai's home run.
[20:09] Mi
    I'm not gonna ask for any
    inside pitches today.
[20:13] Mi
    Let's focus on the outside.
[20:21] Mi
    I just want to know one thing.
[20:25] Mi
    As you are now,
[20:27] Mi
    are you useful or not?
[20:34] Um
    Three outs! Change!
[20:37] Is
    We've still got it!
[20:43] Mi
    Now, let's do this.
[20:49] C1
    They're bringing out Sawamura now?
[20:52] C2
    He may be an important southpaw,
[20:54] C2
    but he's the one
    who wrecked the Yakushi game.
[21:00] Mi
    Chris.
[21:04] Ha
    Eijun-kun, we've got your back!
[21:07] Ku
    Focus on the first batter, Sawamura!
[21:09] Ma
    One at a time!
[21:12] Sa
    Calm down.
[21:13] Sa
    I've never had a large
    repertoire to begin with.
[21:17] Sa
    There're only a few things I can do.
[21:21] Sa
    But...
[21:23] Sa
    ...that doesn't mean I can't do anything.
[21:26] Yu
    Coach! We're switching players!
[21:31] Yu
    You guys had better be ready, too.
[21:33] S1
    Of course.

    We're ready any time.

    Go take him out! No mercy!

    Yeah. Thanks.

    Chris for pinch hitter! Take that!
[22:01] Sa
    Chris-senpai!
[23:35] Mi
    Sawamura.
[23:36] Mi
    Giving him the best pitching you can do
[23:39] Mi
    is the only way you can repay him.
[23:41] Ch
    Standing in the box
    made me realize, once again,
[23:44] Ch
    what kind of pitcher you are.
[23:46] Sa
    Chris-senpai.
[23:47] Mi
    It doesn't matter
    who we have to face.
