**[00:09] Vice**
They should be nearly there by now.
**[00:17] Kake**
Thank you so much for doing this.
**[00:20] Teacher**
Don't mention it. It's the least I can do to help.
**[00:25] Teacher**
They're all out cold, huh?
**[00:27] Teacher**
They were up early this morning, practicing.
**[00:45] Tsubasa**
The air is so fresh!
**[00:48] Aoi**
Okay, so where's the stadium?
**[00:51] Yuuki**
We have another road trip
before we get there.
**[00:54] Mai**
We stay here tonight and check in tomorrow.

**[00:57] Mai**
Didn't you read the guide?
**[00:59] Ryou**
It's finally happening.
**[01:01] Tsubasa**
Yeah.
**[01:03] Yoshimi**
There's a barbecue shelter here!
**[01:05] Kake**
Yes, the plan is to cook dinner there.
**[01:08] Yoshimi**
Really?!
**[01:09] Aoi**
We'll be hitting home runs tomorrow!
**[01:12] Ryou**
We're not here to play around.
Don't get carried away.
**[01:16] Kana**
Haven't they published
the tournament brackets yet?
**[01:20] Kake**
They should be announcing them pretty soon...
**[01:29] Kake**
Oh! We're playing the first game!
**[01:32] Ayaka**
Say what?
**[01:33] Waka**
Who are we playing?
**[01:34] Yuuki**
I want to see, too!
**[01:49] Sayaka**
Never underestimate
the power of coincidence.
**[01:52] Tomoe**
Jinguji-san?
**[01:54] Akane**
Seijo High...

**[03:42] Tsubasa**
Well, best of luck to both teams!
**[03:46] Tsubasa**
Cheers!
**[03:47] Sato**
Cheers!
**[03:50] Hana**
Ch-Cheers...
**[03:52] Kake**
Okay, girls, come and get it!
**[03:54] Sato**
Let's eat!
**[03:57] Sayaka**
It's one thing staying in the same place,
**[04:00] Sayaka**
but why do we have to
eat with our opponents?
**[04:03] Ryou**
My thoughts exactly.
**[04:04] Yuuki**
A meal like this tastes better
when everyone eats together.
**[04:08] Yuuki**
Plus, renting one grill rather
than two saves us money.
**[04:12] Ayaka**
You only recently revived
Seijo's baseball team,
**[04:15] Ayaka**
so your budget's pretty tight too, right?
**[04:20] Sayaka**
Eat quickly so we can rest up for tomorrow.
**[04:22] Seijo**
Right.
**[04:33] Tomoe**
Here you go.
**[04:38] Tomoe**
*Where's Jinguji-san?*
**[04:55] Tsubasa**
For you.
**[05:02] Sayaka**
Thank you.
**[05:06] Tsubasa**
What a surprise, huh?
**[05:08] Tsubasa**
I never imagined we'd face
each other in Game 1.
**[05:17] Sayaka**
They look like they're having fun.
**[05:20] Tsubasa**
You should try to have fun, too!
**[05:23] Sayaka**
Remember what I told you before?
Our team isn't like yours.
**[05:32] Tsubasa**
The stuff about best friends
and comrades, you mean?
**[05:35] Sayaka**
Seijo's goal is to reclaim
its standing in girls' baseball.
**[05:37] Sayaka**
Your team doesn't have
that kind of pressure.
**[05:40] Sayaka**
You won the Senior Little League nationals,
**[05:43] Sayaka**
so you should know by now that
idealistic friendships only hold you back.
**[05:49] Tsubasa**
I hear you.
**[05:58] Tsubasa**
But now, I've started to think there is
more than one way to build a team.
**[06:05] Sayaka**
You really are naïve.
**[06:16] Hana**
Hey!
**[06:20] Hana**
I'm Makino, from Seijo.
**[06:23] Hana**
Are you Kawakita-san,
the girl Sayaka's been coaching?
**[06:26] Tomoe**
Y-Yes.
**[06:28] Hana**
How... did that come about, exactly?
**[06:32] Tomoe**
Wait, did it cause problems for you?
**[06:36] Hana**
N-No, it's not that!
**[06:38] Hana**
It's just...
**[06:40] Hana**
I was surprised to hear
she was doing something like that.
**[06:50] Tomoe**
I guess I kind of pushed her into it.
**[06:55] Hana**
Pushed her into it?
**[07:01] Kake**
Okay, lights out.
**[07:03] All**
Goodnight!
**[07:11] Ayaka**
I heard the girls who signed
our petition for club status
**[07:14] Ayaka**
are gonna be there to cheer us on tomorrow.
**[07:18] Akane**
My mom contacted me
to say she'll be there, too.
**[07:22] Mai**
Mine, too.
**[07:24] Waka**
My brother said he'd come.
**[07:34] Yoshimi**
Bathroom...
**[07:37] Mai**
Me, too.
**[07:38] Waka**
Me, too.
**[07:40] Kana**
Didn't you just go?
**[07:45] Ryou**
Nozaki-san?
**[07:48] Yuuki**
Um... I was thinking of
doing some practice swings...
**[07:51] Aoi**
You're all just nervous.
**[07:54] Mai**
And you're not, huh?
**[07:56] Aoi**
'Course I am! What do you take me for?!
**[07:59] Tomoe**
I guess it's to be expected.
**[08:01] Akane**
I hope sleep comes soon...
**[08:06] Ayaka**
Not right away, probably.
**[08:09] Tsubasa**
Then, I guess now's a good time to
say something I've been meaning to.
**[08:25] Tsubasa**
Thank you for coming this far with me.
**[08:35] Waka**
You don't need to thank us.
**[08:37] Yuuki**
Every one of us is here because we want to be.
**[08:43] Tsubasa**
Yeah. I just didn't want it left unsaid.
**[09:28] Voice**
* And those are all the schools*
* participating in the tournament.*
**[09:42] Minako**
The opening ceremony's already started!
**[09:44] Teacher**
No complaining!
**[09:46] Teacher**
I did the round trip as fast as I could.
**[09:48] Saki**
Thank you very much, Sensei.
**[09:51] Kanako**
Um... Where is...
**[09:55] Maria**
I think it might be over there.

**[10:30] Yui**
Arihara-san!
**[10:32] Kyouka**
We're here!
**[10:34] Koko**
You've got this!
**[10:48] Sayaka**
To restore our prestige,
victory is the only acceptable outcome.
**[10:51] Sayaka**
Let's each do our part,
**[10:53] Sayaka**
and bring home the championship.
**[10:57] Akane**
There are so many people here.
**[10:59] Yoshimi**
Before I took up baseball,
all I really did was cheer,
**[11:02] Yoshimi**
so being down here feels a little weird.
**[11:04] Ryou**
Sounds like everyone's still nervous.
**[11:07] Waka**
You're right.
**[11:08] Mai**
But now that we've come this far, well...
**[11:11] Yuuki**
We just have to do it!
**[11:13] Tsubasa**
Yep!
**[11:14] Tsubasa**
Let's do it!
**[11:15] All**
Yeah!
**[11:16] Guy**
Assemble!
**[11:17] All**
Right!
**[11:46] All**
Let's have a good game!
**[12:02] Hana**
*Her fastball's looking good.*
**[12:09] Hana**
*Her slider's a bit off.*
**[12:12] Hana**
* We should build our*
* strategy around fastballs.*

**[12:19] Ayaka**
Well, here I go!
**[12:22] Yoshimi**
Go get 'em, Vanguard!
**[12:26] Umpire**
Play ball!
**[12:38] Umpire**
Strike!
**[12:40] Ayaka**
*So fast...*
**[12:52] Umpire**
Strike three!
**[12:57] Ayaka**
That's not gonna be easy to hit.
**[13:01] Aoi**
Watch me.
**[13:11] Waka**
A drag bunt!
**[13:18] Sato**
Way to go!
**[13:20] Sato**
Yes!
**[13:21] Third**
Sorry!
**[13:23] Hana**
Don't worry about it.
**[13:26] Hana**
* She was wildly unpredictable*
* in the practice game, too.*
**[13:30] Hana**
*So they have a runner on first...*
**[13:40] Umpire**
Play!
**[13:54] Both**
Got it!
**[14:07] Sato**
Nice!
**[14:08] Sato**
That's it!
**[14:10] Second**
Sorry, Jinguji-san.
**[14:12] Sayaka**
Next time.
**[14:13] Second**
R-Right...
**[14:32] Umpire**
Strike!
**[14:36] Umpire**
Ball!
**[14:58] Tomoe**
Senpai! Go, go!
**[15:02] Tomoe**
Go, go!
**[15:04] Sayaka**
Back to home!
**[15:08] Yuuki**
Asada-senpai!
**[15:09] Yoshimi**
Go!
***SIGN*** Satogahama
***SIGN*** Seijo
**[15:33] Aoi**
I did it!
**[15:34] Yoshimi**
Way to go!
**[15:54] Umpire**
Out!
**[15:56] Kake**
We're doing well!
**[15:58] Waka**
We can't let our guard down.
**[16:00] Waka**
Jinguji-san is every bit
as good as Kosaka-san...
**[16:03] Waka**
One of the best pitchers in the tournament.
**[16:06] Ayaka**
We scored the first run last time too,
but they still ended up steamrolling us.
**[16:10] Waka**
Indeed. We need to stay focused.
**[16:13] Hana**
* We worked so hard on our defense,*
* and it's falling apart at crucial times...*
**[16:19] Hana**
* Everyone's really tense,*
* since this is our first official game.*
**[16:23] Sayaka**
*It looks like...*
**[16:26] Sayaka**
*they've improved more than I expected.*
**[16:31] Mai**
I guess it's time.
**[16:47] Umpire**
Out!
**[16:49] Tomoe**
Nice play!
**[16:52] Aoi**
That feast last night has given me a boost!
**[16:54] Emi**
You're so cool!
**[16:56] Chikage**
Asada-san's sure playing well.
**[17:15] Umpire**
Out!
***SIGN*** Satogahama
***SIGN*** Seijo
**[17:29] Yui**
Nozaki-san, you can do it!
**[17:34] Umpire**
Ball!
**[17:37] Umpire**
Ball four!
**[17:41] Tsubasa**
Good eye!
**[17:51] Yoshimi**
Home... run!
**[17:55] Umpire**
Strike! You're out!
**[17:59] Waka**
*That works for Iwaki-senpai.*
**[18:02] Waka**
*When she finally hits it, it'll go miles.*
**[18:13] Waka**
* Out of everyone on our regular roster,*
* I'm the weakest, strength-wise.*
**[18:19] Waka**
* But I can still support*
* the others in my own way.*
**[18:24] Sayaka**
*I don't think so!*
**[18:38] Hana**
First!
**[18:42] Umpire**
Safe!
**[18:44] Umpire**
Safe!
**[18:50] Akane**
Nice bunt!
**[18:54] Akane**
Suzuki-san?
**[18:57] Waka**
This is... my first time
standing on base in a game...
**[19:05] Akane**
Way to go.
**[19:10] Hana**
Sayaka...
**[19:11] Sayaka**
I should have thrown it to first base.
**[19:30] Sayaka**
Let's continue.
**[19:40] Umpire**
Ball!
**[19:45] Umpire**
Ball four!
**[20:04] Ryou**
She literally slapped some
focus back into herself.
***SIGN*** Satogahama
***SIGN*** Seijo
**[20:32] Sayaka**
Let's be more selective over
what pitches we swing at.
**[20:37] Waka**
*We need to watch out for long hits.*
**[20:41] Waka**
Outfield!
**[21:04] Waka**
*It's okay. Just keep calm.*
**[21:19] Waka**
*Down the middle?*
**[21:21] Umpire**
Strike!
**[21:31] Waka**
*They're waiting on specific pitches?*
**[21:34] Waka**
*Still, if she can keep pitching a good line,*
**[21:36] Waka**
*they'll have trouble getting hits.*
**[21:48] Waka**
Get one first!
***SIGN*** Satogahama
***SIGN*** Seijo
**[21:54] Maria**
They tied it up already...
**[22:03] Sayaka**
*We can't lose...*
**[22:09] Sayaka**
*Not this early.*
