[00:11] _Umpire
    Strike! Batter out!
[00:14] Announcer
    He finishes with a high inside fastball!
[00:17] Announcer
    Raichi Todoroki has struck out
    twice in a row!
[00:22] Announcer
    Narumiya's perfect pitching hasn't allowed
    a runner on base since the first inning!
[00:26] Announcer
    Yakushi High School, one of the Invitational
    semifinalists, is being overpowered
[00:30] Announcer
    by Inashiro Industrial's ace, Mei Narumiya!
[02:07] _Sign
    Meiji Jingu Stadium
[02:20] Watanabe
    Narumiya's pitching was overpowering.
[02:24] Sachiko
    Yeah, he completely shut down Todoroki-kun.
[02:32] Owada
    Inashiro had a very strong showing,
    more than the score indicates.
[02:38] Mine
    Yeah.
[02:41] Mine
    In the eighth inning, Yamaoka-kun's
    double gave them their third run.
[02:45] Mine
    Narumiya-kun was walked,
    and Tadano-kun's RBI hit gave them a fourth.
SIGN    Inashiro
SIGN    Yakushi
[02:52] Mine
    In the last inning, Akiba-kun led off
    and popped to the center fielder.
[02:59] Mine
    It ended with Masuda-kun's strikeout.
[03:03] Mine
    Before their cleanups, Mishima-kun,
    Todoroki-kun, and Sanada-kun, could bat,
[03:09] Mine
    Yakushi High School had lost.
[03:13] Owada
    Yakushi were semifinalists
    in the Spring Invitational,
[03:16] Owada
    but they could only get two hits this game.
[03:20] Owada
    Inashiro is built around
    their impeccable ace,
[03:22] Owada
    but the other players are able
    to show their skills as well.
[03:25] Tadano
    That's enough.
[03:27] Owada
    Inashiro is looking strong again.
[03:31] _Fan
    Carlo!
[03:31] _Fan
    Narumiya-kun!
[03:35] _Player
    The next team's coming.
[03:37] _Player
    Tomobe, let's go!
[03:42] Sanada
    Damn it!
[03:44] Sanada
    We lost!
[03:49] Sanada
    They're too strong.
[03:54] _Coach
    Yeah, they weren't a team you could beat
    on sheer momentum alone.
[04:04] Sanada
    I hate this.
[04:09] Sanada
    I hate this more than when
    we lost at Koshien Stadium.
[04:17] int_Player
    Sanada...
[04:20] int_Player
    Sanada-san...
[04:27] int_Coach
    Pissed, eh?
[04:31] int_Coach
    While he stepped it up a gear
    when he took the mound,
[04:34] int_Coach
    he always seemed so passive
    when it came to baseball, but now...
[04:39] (Flashback) fb_Sanada
    We're the same age.
[04:43] int_Coach
    There was our loss in the fall,
    then Koshien Stadium...
[04:45] int_Coach
    and now your pitching duel against Narumiya.
[04:48] int_Coach
    The harder you try at baseball,
    the more frustration you face.
[04:54] int_Coach
    But even so, you're a pitcher who can
    expect more from yourself.
[05:04] _Coach
    Going from having nothing to lose
[05:06] _Coach
    to winning because you deserve to
    is not at all easy.
[05:12] _Coach
    No result is set in stone.
[05:14] _Coach
    But you can prepare
    so you don't have any regrets.
[05:19] _Coach
    We should thank Inashiro for
    knocking us down after celebrating
[05:22] _Coach
    too much over our games at Koshien Stadium.
[05:25] _Coach
    Jerks.
[05:27] _Coach
    We're heading out!
[05:29] _Coach
    Let's get to work! Summer will
    be here before you know it!
[05:32] _All
    Yes, sir!
[05:35] Todoroki
    I'm gonna knock Mei Narumiya
    and Inashiro flying!

    Well, you never know what

[06:00] Mine
    You just couldn't meet

[06:03] Taniguchi
    Mitsuishi, what are you grinning about?
[06:06] Mitsuishi
    You're still such a loudmouth, Taniguchi.
[06:09] Kuroki
    It's not like you
    first-years won the game.

    Same to you.

    Seido Spirit Dorm
[06:50] Watanabe
    Yes, I believe Sanada was pitching his best.
[06:54] Watanabe
    It's just that Narumiya's pitching today
    was impregnable.
[06:57] _Coach
    Inashiro shut down Todoroki?
[06:59] Watanabe
    Yes, sir.
[07:00] Watanabe
    I think they were focused on him.
[07:03] Watanabe
    They didn't let him get a single hit.
[07:12] Higasa
    Oh, Carlos.
[07:14] @Maezono
    Is that when they took the lead?
[07:17] @Kuramochi
    Todoroki strikes out in two straight at-bats.
[07:20] @Kuramochi
    Yakushi is held to just two hits.
[07:24] @Sawamura
    Nabe-san, please show me the scorebook!
[07:27] Watanabe
    Sure, here you go.
[07:31] @int_Sawamura
    What pitches did he throw, and where?
[07:37] int_Yui
    Oh, they can read a scorebook.
[07:40] int_Yui
    I didn't expect that.
[07:42] Asada
    I-I'm not making progress.
[07:45] @Sawamura
    Nabe-san, please explain!
[07:46] Watanabe
    I figured you'd ask.
[07:48] ---
    Thank you!
[07:50] @Miyuki
    Well, the outcome was pretty obvious.
[07:53] @Miyuki
    If anything, Sanada deserves praise
    for holding their batters to four runs.
[07:59] @Kuramochi
    What are you smiling about?
[08:01] @Kuramochi
    Inashiro has tightened up
    their game since last year!
[08:04] @Miyuki
    Because they'll be fun to beat.
    Doesn't that fire you up?
[08:07] @Kuramochi
    Shut up, idiot!
[08:09] Watanabe
    Look here.
[08:11] Watanabe
    He's throwing the changeups he used to
    throw in the first half in the second half.
[08:16] Watanabe
    It seemed like he was saving them
    for the end against Todoroki.
[08:20] Watanabe
    His fastballs were sharp today,
    so the changeups were highly effective.
[08:26] Watanabe
    You could look at it the other way, too.
[08:28] Watanabe
    Having this pitch
    made his fastball better.
[08:32] @int_Kominato
    A changeup that drops like a sinker...
[08:36] @int_Maezono
    Instead of worrying about other people,
    I need to focus on myself.
[08:40] @int_Tojo
    They hit a home run off of Sanada-san.
[08:44] Yui
    Thank you for the food.
[08:46] _Lady
    Oh, you ate it all?
[08:48] Yui
    I feel ready to burst.
[08:50] Seto
    How did he finish first?
[08:52] Seto
    What's his stomach made of?
[09:00] int_Yui
    Inashiro Industrial's Mei Narumiya...
[09:03] int_Yui
    I want to see him from the field
    instead of from the stands.
SIGN    April 8th
[09:35] @Sawamura
    Yeah!
[09:37] @Miyuki
    Looking good, Sawamura.
[09:39] @Miyuki
    You're finally hitting the ball.
[09:41] @Kuramochi
    Only when you start from
    a bunt stance, though.
[09:45] @Sawamura
    The pitcher is the ninth fielder, after all.
[09:48] @Sawamura
    Hitting, pitching, running!
[09:49] @Sawamura
    I'll show you the new
    and improved Sawamura!
SIGN    Whiff
[09:53] _Player
    Hey, eye on the ball!
[10:05] @Sawamura
    Wh-Whoa!
[10:07] @Sawamura
    So that's a real batting drill!
[10:09] @Sawamura
    It's so much more intense!
[10:11] _Player
    What do you mean, real?!
[10:14] @Miyuki
    Those two are getting along great.
[10:17] @Kominato
    Looking good.
[10:18] @Miyuki
    Zono's hitting the ball more accurately.
[10:23] @Kuramochi
    There's no telling who will
    start the next game!
[10:31] @Tojo
    The upperclassmen are unbelievable.
[10:33] @Kanemaru
    Makes sense, after how badly
    Yakushi got beaten.
[10:36] @Kanemaru
    We might have to play Inashiro
    in this tournament, too.
[10:42] @Kanemaru
    They're really focused.
[10:46] @int_Kanemaru
    Still...
[10:47] @int_Kanemaru
    The reason the team is on its toes
    right now is because
[10:51] @int_Kanemaru
    we've only registered 18 players for the
    spring tournament, same as the Invitational.
[10:59] @int_Kanemaru
    The spring tournament allows 20 players,
    two more than the invitational.
[11:06] @int_Kanemaru
    Even though the coach can add
    two players, he hasn't.
[11:12] @int_Kanemaru
    After not making the roster for
    the Invitational, Mimura-senpai...
[11:15] @int_Kanemaru
    Kawashima-senpai...
[11:17] @int_Kanemaru
    and the other third-years
    who are graduating...
[11:20] @int_Kanemaru
    must be dying for one of those spots.
[11:25] @int_Kanemaru
    The coach intentionally
    left those two spots open.
[11:29] @int_Kanemaru
    That must mean...
[11:40] _Player
    This is tiring...
[11:42] _Player
    We knew what we were getting into.
[11:44] _Player
    And what about the meals?
[11:46] _Player
    I can't eat three bowls
    of rice every morning.
[11:49] _Player
    I'd rather be doing batting drills.
[11:51] _Player
    But one of them is always swinging a bat.
[11:55] _Player
    Senpai came back to the room after midnight.
[11:59] _Player
    Really?
[12:01] _Player
    That's hardcore.
[12:06] _Player
    Th-Those two again!
[12:08] _Player
    Stop increasing the pace!
[12:10] _Player
    Hey!
[12:15] _Player
    Koshu!
[12:18] int_Seto
    So that's how it's gonna be.
[12:20] int_Seto
    No one wants to be left behind.
[12:25] int_Mogami
    Idiots. If you go all-out now,
    you'll regret it at breakfast.
[12:35] @Sawamura
    The running's turned into a sprint!
[12:37] @Sawamura
    Remember when we were like that?
[12:39] @Furuya
    Remember?
[12:40] @Kawakami
    You're still like that.
[12:41] @Sawamura
    I'm getting the urge to run myself!
[12:44] @Sawamura
    Let's go, Furuya!
[12:45] @Furuya
    No.
[12:47] @Miyuki
    The first-years are itching
    to join our practice.
[12:54] Ochiai
    Wouldn't they benefit from
    a separate training regimen?
[12:59] Ochiai
    They need to develop their bodies to deal
    with the rigors of high school baseball.
[13:04] Ochiai
    It will help prevent injury later on, too.
[13:09] Ochiai
    But I see a few that are head
    and shoulders above the rest.
[13:33] Asada
    Ugh.
[13:34] Seto
    Damn, I went so hard I can't eat.
[13:39] int_Mogami
    You reap what you sow, idiot.
[13:42] @Kanemaru
    Hey, what's the holdup, first-years?
[13:44] @Kanemaru
    Your chopsticks aren't moving!
[13:45] @Sawamura
    There he is!
[13:46] @Sawamura
    The demonic overseer Kanemaru
[13:48] @Sawamura
    who forbids leaving even one grain of rice!
[13:50] @Kanemaru
    Shut up!
[13:51] _Sign
    Make sure you eat so you have energy to train!
[13:51] _Sign
    Eating is part of training!
[13:52] @Kanemaru
    Eat so you replenish the energy
    you spent in practice!
[13:56] @Kanemaru
    Otherwise you'll lose weight and be
    unable to perform during practice!
[14:01] @Kanemaru
    I know it's tough, but think of your
    meals as part of your training and eat!
[14:06] @Kanemaru
    This will benefit you in the long run!
[14:08] _All
    Yes, sir!
[14:11] @Tojo
    Kanemaru sure knows how to
    encourage the younger players.
[14:15] @Kanemaru
    He's a good mentor.
[14:17] Ono
    They're going to be Kanemaru's army.
[14:19] @Kominato
    Looks like a lot of them
    are having trouble eating.
[14:22] @Kominato
    We did too, of course.
[14:24] @Furuya
    I still don't like eating.
[14:28] @Sawamura
    Someone like me will eat like this...
[14:31] @Sawamura
    The second bowl of rice
    is as high as a mountain!
[14:33] @Sawamura
    I'm a level above you wimps,
    with your light portions!
[14:37] @Kominato
    Wow, good for you.
[14:39] Yui
    So you eat breakfast here.
[14:41] Yuki
    Yeah, but I pack my lunch.
SIGN    Spirit
[14:44] Yui
    I saw the large box you brought.
[14:47] Yuki
    It was my brother's.
[14:48] Yuki
    I had a rice ball before practice.
[14:51] Yuki
    This way, I can get some protein
    immediately after practice.
[14:58] Yui
    Yep. Do you take any supplements?
[15:00] Yuki
    They're expensive, so I just take BCAA.
[15:04] Yuki
    I want to get as much of my
    nutrition from food as possible!
[15:07] Yuki
    More, please!
[15:10] Yui
    Me, too!
[15:13] Seto
    More eating monsters!
[15:21] Seto
    Don't go too hard, Koshu.
[15:26] Ochiai
    I watched the DVD of yesterday's game.
[15:30] Ochiai
    Mei Narumiya does indeed seem to be
    one of the top pitchers in the country.
[15:37] Ochiai
    He just happens to be in our region.
[15:39] Ochiai
    And after what happened last year,
[15:42] Ochiai
    he represents the biggest obstacle we face.
[15:49] Ochiai
    Still, we'll only run into him in
    the finals for this tournament.
[15:54] Ochiai
    We are also very different from last year.
[16:00] Ochiai
    I expect this is the reason
[16:02] Ochiai
    you registered 18 players for the
    tournament when 20 are allowed.
[16:11] Ochiai
    The entrance ceremony is over, so first-
    years are allowed to play in official games.
[16:16] Ochiai
    I've prepared a list of first-years
    I feel are ready to be on the bench.
[16:16] _Sign
    Masashi Yuki R/R Great body balance, fair running speed
    Kaoru Yui R/L Power, great running and throwing arm

    Could you carry this over for me,
    Akane-chan, Anna-chan?
[16:35] _Both
    Yes.
[16:36] Haruno
    It's heavy, so carry it together.
[16:38] Haruno
    No need to rush.
[16:40] Haruno
    I wouldn't want you to trip and fall.
[16:43] _Both
    Yes.
[16:45] int_Akane
    Haruno-senpai is so nice!
[16:48] int_Anna
    It's heavy, even with two people.
[16:51] Haruno
    When I was a first-year, Yui-senpai and
    Sachi-senpai would always help me—
[16:59] Akane
    Are you okay, Haruno-senpai?
[17:01] Anna
    Please watch where you're going.
[17:02] Haruno
    I'm sorry!
[17:04] Sachiko
    She's making a mess of things.
[17:05] Yui
    That's Haruno for you.
[17:11] _Fan
    There's always so many people here.
[17:14] _Fan
    It's been like this ever since
    they got back from Koshien Stadium.
[17:17] _Fan
    Is everyone here to see Furuya?
[17:19] _Fan
    Do you think he'll be in the bullpen today?
[17:21] _Fan
    Is it true a scout from Fukuoka is in town?
[17:24] _Fan
    He'd be here to see Miyuki.
[17:26] @Kominato
    Are you using a wooden bat today?
[17:29] @Miyuki
    Yeah.
[17:30] _Fan
    Furuya didn't pitch in last week's game,
[17:33] _Fan
    so I hope he'll pitch in the next one...
[17:35] _Fan
    Some of those 150 km/h monster fastballs.
[17:37] _Fan
    It's like a dream to
    see pitches that fast.
[17:41] _Fan
    He's looking good.
[17:42] _Fan
    I just hope he can do that in the game.
[17:44] _Fan
    I hope Maezono can get back in there.
[17:51] _Fan
    We need hitters with power,
    besides Miyuki, to give them some depth.
[17:57] @int_Tojo
    Oh, man. He hit that difficult
    trajectory like it was nothing.
[18:00] @int_Tojo
    Sometimes he misses pitches that
    should be easy to hit, though.
[18:04] @Kuramochi
    That guy's still on a roll.
[18:07] @Miyuki
    Tojo, how close to full power was that?
[18:10] @Tojo
    80%!
[18:11] @Miyuki
    It's looking good.
[18:13] @Tojo
    Thank you!
[18:15] @int_Tojo
    Actually, it was 90%.
[18:18] @Miyuki
    After all, it's best to practice
    with real pitches, don't you think?
[18:33] @int_Tojo
    So this kid is Yuki-senpai's...
[18:47] _Fan
    Hm? That stance...
[18:49] _Fan
    Who is that?
[19:15] @Furuya
    Who is that?
[19:16] _Fan
    Didn't he jam that?
[19:20] _Fan
    That was a solid hit.
[19:22] _Fan
    What a batter!
[19:23] _Fan
    That's Masashi?
[19:26] _Fan
    Tetsu's younger brother, Masashi Yuki!
[19:30] (Flashback) fb_Tetsu
    He's a whimsical kid,
[19:32] (Flashback) fb_Tetsu
    but he's way better than
    I was as a first-year.
[19:35] (Flashback) fb_Tetsu
    Look after him for me.
[19:39] @int_Miyuki
    More whimsical than Tetsu-san?
[19:42] int_Rei
    He must have done a lot of
    swings during spring break.
[19:53] _Fan
    He hit for power with a low stance.
[19:55] _Fan
    Who is that?
[19:59] _Fan
    He's so small. How does he hit it so far?
[20:02] int_Seto
    Those two really are crazy.
[20:08] _Fan
    What a sharp swing!
[20:10] _Fan
    He hit it hard to right field!
[20:12] _Fan
    Are they really first-years?
[20:14] int_Seto
    I'm gonna play center field!
[20:18] _Fan
    I heard they had quite a crop this year.
[20:21] _Fan
    You aren't kidding!
[20:29] _Fan
    He's hitting Tojo's pitches easily!
[20:31] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    Huh?
[20:33] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    The first-years are practicing
    with us already?
[20:37] (Flashback) @fb_Sawamura
    We were still practicing basics
    during the spring tournament, right?
[20:41] (Flashback) @fb_Konimato
    Yeah.
[20:42] (Flashback) @fb_Konimato
    Furuya pitched in the
    Kanto tournament, though.
[20:46] (Flashback) @fb_Konimato
    That must mean there are some
    talented first-years this year.
[20:56] _Player
    So the reason there are two spots open...
[20:59] _Player
    Right?
[21:00] int_Player
    What positions do they play?
[21:04] @int_Miyuki
