[00:02] Um
    Ball four!
[00:03] S1
    Bases loaded now.
[00:05] S1
    We still have the bottom of the ninth,
[00:07] S1
    but this is a huge chance to score.
[00:10] S2
    Roll it!
[00:11] S2
    Just roll the ball!
[00:13] S3
    Let's do this, Maezono!
[00:16] TC
    End it here cleanly, boys.
[00:19] Ka
    Don't lose confidence, Maezono.
[00:21] Ka
    You've been swinging well all game.
[00:24] Ka
    Wait for the pitch to come to you,
    then smack it hard.
[00:28] Ka
    Just go do that this inning, too.
[00:33] S1
    From zero to hero!
[00:35] S2
    The stage is set for you, buddy!
[00:39] Mi
    If I was the catcher,
[00:41] Mi
    I'd hate the batters
    who can judge the low balls.
[00:47] Mi
    The low balls are balls for a reason.
[00:50] Mi
    Just swing at the pitch you can hit.
[00:53] Ma
    Yeah.
SIGN    Scenario
[02:26] SS
    Let's hit a big one here, Maezono!
[02:31] R1
    Despite the rain,
[02:32] SS
    If you don't get a hit, who else will?
[02:34] R1
    they've played a very close
     and exciting game.
[02:38] R2
    Yeah.
[02:39] R2
    Two outs and bases loaded
    at the bottom of the eighth.
[02:42] R2
    This is the most important part of the game.
[02:46] C1
    Can Maezono get a big one
    with his heavy swing?
[02:50] C1
    Or will Mukai ot Teito
    get the last laugh again?
[02:57] C1
    And here comes the first pitch.
[03:03] Um
    Ball.
[03:06] C2
    Maezono won that one.
[03:08] C3
    Wasn't that a screwball?
[03:10] C3
    Are they not afraid of a passed ball?
[03:12] C4
    He must have a lot of confidence
    in Mukai's control.
[03:16] In
    The strike zone has no limit.
[03:19] In
    Use it openly, Taiyo.
[03:21] Ta
    I won't even let him touch my pitch.
[03:24] Ma
    I wait and then swing hard.
[03:28] Ma
    Swing hard.
[03:30] Ta
    Just you try and touch it.
[03:32] Ma
    I'll smack it hard.
[03:35] C1
    A slider for the second pitch!
[03:38] C2
    A strike on the way outside.
[03:40] T1
    Nice pitch, Taiyo!
[03:42] T2
    The batter can't react!
[03:44] S1
    Nothing to worry about!
[03:45] S1
    Let's stay focused!
[03:53] C1
    And pitch three?
[03:55] C1
    A fastball!
[03:57] T1
    That's it!
[03:58] T2
    Nice pitch, Taiyo!
[04:00] Ot
    Come on, Maezono!
[04:03] Sa
    That's the timing!
[04:04] Ka
    Nice swing!
[04:06] R1
    The low and outside.
[04:08] R1
    Is he going for a fastball?
[04:10] R2
    Yeah.
[04:12] R2
    Maezono-kun swung for it.
[04:14] R2
    He's ready for it.
[04:16] R2
    But the count's 1-2 now.
[04:19] R2
    He's cornered.
[04:26] R2
    Will Mukai-kun come to end it
    with the fourth pitch?
[04:31] Mi
    He's gonna pitch a low one here.
[04:36] Um
    Ball!
[04:37] C1
    Hey, he saw that one coming!
[04:40] Sa
    That's how you do it!
[04:43] C1
    He's only pitching to the outside.
[04:46] C2
    The count's 2-2 now.
[04:48] C2
    What's next?
[04:50] C2
    I doubt they want to go to 3-2.
[04:57] Ta
    It's game over...
[04:59] Ta
    ...with this!
[05:15] C1
    He tapped it!
[05:16] C2
    Barely a foul!
[05:20] S1
    That was close!
[05:21] S2
    That was just barely in the zone!
[05:23] S2
    If he hadn't swung,
    he would've been struck out!
[05:26] Ta
    Damn.
[05:28] Ta
    Don't be a pain.
[05:29] Ta
    You're supposed to be easy.
[05:34] R1
    I'm getting nervous from just watching.
[05:37] R2
    I'm sure they wanted to
    finish with that pitch.
[05:41] R2
    The count's 2-2.
[05:43] R2
    They've only pitched outside so far.
[05:46] R2
    They have an extra pitch,
    so pitching inside here could be good.
[05:51] R2
    But they'd have to be careful
    not to hit the batter.
[05:56] R2
    It's something they couldn't pitch
    without confidence and trust.
[06:06] R2
    No hesitation?
[06:08] In
    This pitch will only be a foul.
[06:12] In
    Use this to distract him.
[06:14] Ta
    Then finish him with an outside.
[06:18] R2
    What a fearsome battery.
[06:21] R2
    They can read each other's minds.
[06:24] R2
    They both see the same picture
    of getting the out.
[06:27] Ka
    Swing like you practice.
[06:30] Mi
    Be confident.
[06:32] Ma
    Wait, then swing hard.
[06:36] Ta
    No matter how much you struggle,
[06:38] Ta
    it's game over with the next pitch.
[06:42] Ma
    Swing hard!
[06:43] Ta
    I can already see...
[06:48] Ta
    ...the end!
[07:12] Ta
    Wait a minute.
[07:14] Ta
    That wasn't the finishing pitch.
[07:18] In
    It's fine.
[07:20] In
    It's a foul.
[07:23] S1
    Right up left field!
[07:28] S2
    Kuramochi's heading for home!
[07:30] Sa
    Let's go!
[07:31] S1
    They're taking time with the ball!
[07:33] Sa
    Come home, Harucchi!
[07:34] Sa
    Run!
[07:36] S1
    Three runs!
[07:39] S2
    Nice one, Zono!
[07:40] S3
    Bringing all the runners home!
[07:42] S2
    Zono's going for third!
[07:46] Um
    Out!
[07:52] Mi
    You got way too excited!
[07:54] Ka
    You were tripping!
[07:56] Ma
    Sorry.
[07:58] C1
    Seido got three runs this inning.
[08:01] C2
    They turned the game around at the end.
[08:04] R1
    Maezono-kun hit that difficult
    inside pitch very cleanly.
[08:09] R2
    He was focused on hitting toward the right.
[08:12] R2
    That's why it didn't go foul.
[08:15] R2
    In any case,
[08:17] R2
    that inside was a little
    lenient for Mukai-kun.
[08:21] T1
    T-Taiyo...
[08:24] R2
    One bad pitch ruins a game of great pitches.
[08:29] TC
    You can't do anything
    about the points you give up.
[08:32] TC
    Raise your head. Damn it!
[08:36] R1
    With just one pitch,
    now they have to chance to win.
[08:40] R2
    Yeah.
[08:41] R2
    That's baseball.
[08:44] R2
    The scenario was perfect.
[08:46] R2
    But he had to throw a harsh inside pitch.
[08:52] R2
    Perhaps he was thinking too much
    about finishing on the outside,
[08:57] R2
    and that led to a slightly
    lenient inside pitch.

[09:23] SS
    Third!
[09:28] R1
    An error!
[09:30] R2
    Kawakami-kun's here for the last inning,
[09:33] R2
    but he's struggling to get the last out.
[09:37] Mi
    Time out, please.
[09:39] R1
    They've given up a run,
    but it's still two outs, bases loaded.
[09:43] R2
    It's the ultimate test
    of who deserves to win.
[09:46] Sa
    Nori-senpai! Two outs!
[09:48] Ka
    Let's stay calm!
[09:49] Ot
    Ka-Kawakami!
[09:53] Mi
    Don't worry.
[09:54] Mi
    Your pitch looks good.
[09:56] Mi
    Let's pitch some strikes.
[09:57] Ma
    Just throw to the closest base.
[09:59] Ma
    Let's stay calm.
[10:01] Ku
    Let's get the next out.
[10:18] Mi
    He looks devasted.
[10:20] Mi
    We can't win like...
[10:24] Mi
    Nori.
[10:27] Mi
    Look behind you.
[10:32] Mi
    No, the sky.
[10:56] Mi
    See?
[10:58] Mi
    We were so cornered that we didn't
    even notice this beautiful scene.
[11:08] Mi
    Let's do what we've practiced,
[11:10] Mi
    and make this game
[11:12] Mi
    ours!
[11:14] Sa
    Don't be passive! Be aggressive!
[11:21] TC
    He looks revitalized.
[11:32] Um
    Out!
[11:35] Um
    Game set!
[11:37] S1
    Game set!
[11:41] TC
    In the end, the weather favored them.
[11:47] Sa
    Yeah!
[11:49] C1
    2-3!
[11:50] C1
    Seido turned it around in the end!
[11:52] C2
    What a close game!
[11:54] C3
    What an intense pitchers' game!
[11:56] C4
    Seido won the battle of the big schools!
[12:00] EE
    Good game!
[12:03] C1
    Are you serious?
[12:04] C1
    The East Tokyo summer champions
    disappeared in the first round!
[12:12] Ta
    I don't think I underestimated him.
[12:14] Ta
    Even that pitch was...
[12:20] In
    It looks like we'll have a long off-season.
[12:23] Ta
    It'll go by quickly,
[12:26] Ta
    if we work on what we need.
[12:29] Ta
    I need to get better.
[12:31] Ta
    I need more power to outpitch the batters.
[12:34] Ta
    I need more tactics to toy with the batters.
[12:37] Ta
    We'll have to practice a lot.
[12:40] In
    Yeah.
[12:41] In
    I need to really focus for the summer.
[12:45] C1
    Yeah!
[12:47] C1
    In the end, Maezono
    made the winning play.
[12:51] C2
    Did you expect him to hit?
[12:53] C1
    Nope.
[12:54] C2
    The relief in the sixth inning
     was a surprise, too.
[12:57] C1
    I couldn't believe Furuya got benched.
[13:00] Ka
    Let's go home.
[13:00] C2
    Sawamura and Maezono
    both performed well.
[13:01] Ot
    K-K-K-Kawakami! Nice pitch!
[13:05] C2
    So Coach Kataoka really
    made good calls today.
[13:09] C3
    The batting lineup isn't topnotch yet,
[13:12] C3
    but this win should
    give them some momentum.
[13:20] C1
    It's decided.
[13:22] C2
    Yeah.
[13:23] C2
    Teito put up a good fight, but...
[13:26] C1
    The school I'm going to...
[13:29] C1
    I'm going to Seido.
[13:32] C1
    I was kind of thinking about going
    to the school that won this game.
[13:36] C2
    Just kind of?
[13:38] C1
    Yeah, kind of.
[13:41] C1
    But I think it's the right choice.
[13:43] C1
    They have two interesting pitchers.
[13:47] C2
    Koshu.
[13:49] C2
    You should've told me if that was
     what you were thinking!
[13:52] C2
    I could've enjoyed the game more, too!
[13:55] S1
    Yeah.
[13:56] S1
    Yeah, Seido.
[13:57] S1
    Three runs in the bottom of the eighth.
[13:59] S2
    No, Maezono really got the hit.
[14:05] R1
    Coach Okamoto, did you not think
    about relieving the pitcher today?
[14:11] TC
    Well, I had a reliever ready,
[14:13] TC
    but I felt that keeping Taiyo in
    was the right decision.
[14:17] TC
    If you want to raise an ace,
    you've gotta have faith.
[14:23] R1
    Words of wisdom.
[14:25] TC
    But you can't lose!
[14:27] TC
    No, you can't!
[14:29] R2
    Then what do you think about
    Seido's ace, Furuya-kun,
[14:33] R2
    being benched so early in the game?
[14:36] TC
    Well, it depends on the team.
SIGN    Edogawa City Stadium
[14:40] TC
    I thought it was a tough call at the time,
[14:43] TC
    but we couldn't take down
    their southpaw who came out next.
[14:48] TC
    I'm sure Kataoka-kun wants
    those two to compete as rivals.
[14:52] TC
    Why am I talking about
    the winning coach's calls?
[14:58] R2
    I'm sorry.
[14:59] R2
    I was curious.
[15:01] Ku
    The sun came out
    right before the game ended.
[15:04] Sa
    Thank you!
[15:05] Ku
    It wasn't a compliment.
SIGN    Seido Spirit Dorm
[15:16] S1
    Remember Zono's face right then?
[15:19] S2
    You're so unreliable.
[15:21] Ma
    Shut up!
[15:22] S2
    You hit big but got
    easily taken out at third.
[15:26] S3
    I'm surprised you actually hit.
[15:29] Ma
    Kominato, let's go.
[15:31] Ha
    Yes, sir.
[15:32] S3
    You're starting right now?
[15:35] Ma
    I don't want to forget what I felt today.
[15:39] Ma
    I've gotta beat it into my body before I forget.
[15:45] S3
    He already swings every night.
[15:47] S4
    He practices way too much.
[15:49] S5
    Maezono-san looks so admirable.
[15:53] S6
    Let's go swing some, too.
[15:54] S5
    Yeah, I can't lose.
[15:58] Ku
    Hey, Miyuki.
[16:00] Ku
    Furuya's still running on the field.
[16:03] Ku
    Should I go stop him?
[16:05] Mi
    Just let him run all he wants.
[16:09] Mi
    I bet he's never walked off
    the mound like that.
[16:13] Mi
    So I need him get really upset over it.
[16:16] Mi
    And if he'll start listening
    to me more, even better.
[16:20] Ku
    So that's what you're after!
[16:21] Ku
    You heartless fiend!
[16:25] Mi
    We should've been more careful, too,
[16:30] Mi
    but compared to before the pause,
[16:33] Mi
    he was like a different person.
[16:36] Mi
    I guess in that sense,
[16:37] Mi
    we learned a lot this game.
[16:41] Mi
    Though it wouldn't have
    mattered if we'd lost.
[16:43] S1
    But if Kawakami gave them
    the winning runs in the end...
[16:47] Ku
    Yeah, I can't even begin to fathom
     how he'd be right now.
[16:51] Mi
    We won in the end, so who cares?
[16:56] [Messenger] Wa
    Fall Tournament Game 1
    You haven't returned any of my emails lately!
    And wait... You pitched today?
    Is this your first game since summer?
    But I can't really imagine you pitching to the outside so much.
[16:56] Wa
    You haven't returned
    any of my emails lately!
[17:00] Wa
    And wait... You pitched today?
[17:03] Wa
    Is this your first game since summer?
[17:06] Wa
    But I can't really imagine
    you pitching to the outside so much.

[17:12] Sa
    Shut up.
[17:13] Sa
    I wish you could've seen it.
[17:18] Sa
    In the rain,
[17:18] S1
    Hey, don't think out loud.
[17:20] Sa
    I gave them a piece of my
[17:21] S2
    I want to turn that smile upside down.
[17:25] S1
    But he did pitch
    really well as a reliever today.
[17:26] Sa
    ultra super deluxe pitch...
[17:31] Wa
    So that's your next step.
[17:33] Wa
    We're all excited to see
    how much you've improved.

[17:38] Wa
    By the way, our season's already over.
[17:43] Sa
    I was able to pitch again.
[17:45] Sa
    I was able to stand on the mound again.
[17:48] Sa
    I was able to hold them off
    with just outsides.
[17:53] Sa
    If I can learn to pitch insides,
    too, then I'll...
[18:03] Sa
    I'm getting super hyped all of a sudden!
[18:05] Mi
    I'm surprised you've got time to be emailing.
[18:10] Mi
    Furuya's still running.
[18:12] Sa
    What?!
[18:12] Ku
    Is it Wakana?
[18:14] Ku
    Is it an email from Wakana?
[18:16] Ot
    What a nice game today.
[18:19] Ot
    Although it was close until the end.
[18:21] Ot
    Maezono got a hit today, too.
[18:24] Ot
    I think that'll help the team get going.
[18:27] Re
    He did a really nice job
    hitting that inside pitch.
[18:31] Re
    It was like he instinctively reacted
    rather than trying to hit it.
[18:36] Ka
    He swings the bat more than
    anyone else on the team right now.
[18:40] Ka
    I'm sure it boosted everyone's morale,
[18:44] Ka
    even if they're not on the first string.
[18:47] Ot
    They were all on the bleachers in the summer.
[18:50] Ot
    I'm sure people have mixed
    feelings about his success.
[18:54] Oc
    The subs don't need to get better.
[18:57] Oc
    Can I ask you a question?
[19:00] Oc
    About the relief in the sixth inning.
[19:03] Oc
    Pulling Furuya out there
    quickly was, I guess,
[19:08] Oc
    the right decision, ultimately.
[19:12] Oc
    But why Sawamura?
[19:17] Oc
    Kawakami is more consistent than Sawamura,
[19:20] Oc
    and Sawamura is crippled with the yips.
[19:23] Ot
    C-Crippled?
[19:26] Ka
    Because of his attitude.
[19:28] Ka
    At that point, Sawamura was
    the only one who was ready,
[19:33] Ka
    and he was ready to pitch to his strengths,
[19:36] Ka
    even against an opponent like Teito.
[19:44] Oc
    That's it?
[19:46] Ka
    The fact that Teito expected him
    to pitch insides was in our favor,
[19:51] Ka
    but he unexpectedly pitched
    until the end of the eighth inning.
[19:54] Ka
    The fact that he was able to do that
[19:57] Ka
    was great for the team.
[20:02] Oc
    For the team?
[20:04] Ka
    Yes.
[20:06] Ka
    There's a limit to how much
    a person can improve on his own.
[20:21] Fu
    He did that when he was basically crippled.
[20:29] Sa
    I am the king of running!
[20:32] Ka
    Rivals acknowledge each other,
[20:36] Ka
    and compete to get better.
[20:39] Ka
    That's why they can train so hard.
[20:42] Ka
    That's why they continue to improve.
[20:47] Ka
    And
[20:48] Ka
    they will always far exceed
    our expectations.
[20:58] (Flashback) Ka
    I won't sacrifice the team
    just for Furuya alone.
[21:03] Ka
    When the team grows as a whole,
    the players strive to improve.
[21:07] Ka
    This is something I learned
    from the previous team.
[21:17] Re
    Coach Kataoka.
[21:20] Ot
    If we win the next one,
    we'll get to play Inashiro!
[21:23] Ot
    The players want revenge!
[21:25] Ot
    Let's give them a run for their money!
[21:29] Oc
    So he wants to make a team that
    will improve with every game.
