Sagara-senpai     and Sawa-senpai went home. [02:08] Chi     They said, "Good luck, Daigo-kyun." [02:12] Ani     They went home? [02:14] Ani     How come?! [02:15] Chi     Who knows. [02:16] Ani     I'm goin' after 'em. [02:18] Mut     Anita. [02:20] Mut     It's fine. [02:21] Mut     Let's just concentrate on the game. [02:28] Dai     Eihou's ace, Jitou. [02:40] Dai     140 kmph is a bit of an exaggeration, [02:42] Dai     but his fastballs are consistently     over the 130 kmph mark. [02:49] Dai     He's several notches faster than Yokouchi     and Urabe, and we did fastball drills for them. [02:56] Nis     Guess there's a reason these guys     are the team to beat in our district. [03:00] Dai     Yeah, their offense packs a punch, too.

[03:21] Ump     Bow! [03:22] All     Thank you! [03:25] Chi     They're so strong. [03:26] Kan     We're going to get destroyed. [03:29] Mut     No wonder Tao and Yayoi just left like that. [03:32] Mut     Beating them is impossible. [03:35] Ani     Looks 'bout right. [03:37] Ani     S'obvious we were gonna run into this     kinda hurdle on our way to Regionals. [03:40] Ani     Beatin' them'll be worth it. [03:42] Nis     Gonna be fun. [03:44] Nis     I'm looking forward to seeing     how far my pitching gets us. [03:50] Dai     You guys are right. [03:52] Dai     Looks like we've got no choice but to     put Nishina on the mound in the final. [03:55] Dai     Problem is, who will we get to     pitch in our semifinal game?

[04:08] Dai     Pitching a complete game when     you're already exhausted is a tough ask, [04:12] Dai     and I don't want you to overdo it. [04:14] Ani     So what's the plan? [04:18] Dai     Chisato. [04:19] Dai     You pitched for Yokohama Little, right? [04:23] Dai     I want you and Mutsuko to get us through     tomorrow's game with Yanagawa. [04:27] Chi     Are you sure I'm up for it? [04:29] Dai     Yes. I'm counting on you. [04:31] Chi     All right. [04:33] Dai     Great. [04:34] Dai     How about we go back to school now     and you can show me your pitching? [04:38] Chi     Right now? [04:39] Tan     Hey, Shigeno. [04:41] Tan     We just finished a game.     Fujii's probably tired. [04:43] Tan     You shouldn't go overboard. [04:45] Dai     It's true we don't need to push     ourselves hard for the next game, [04:49] Dai     but we've got a chance of facing Eihou,     so I want to give it all we've got. [04:52] Dai     Is it too much? [04:53] Chi     No, I'll go. [04:56] Mut     I-I'm coming too! [04:57] Dai     Yeah, okay. It might be     better if you're there. [05:01] Nis     I bet you want to check out     my hyper-speed pitches, too. [05:04] Dai     Yup. [05:05] Dai     As you are now, you don't     stand a chance against Eihou.

[05:26] Dai     Don't sweat it. [05:28] Dai     Right now, getting over your     injury is your top priority. [05:30] Dai     Hurry up and get it checked out. [05:34] Ani     Then, I'll leave it to ya, Captain. [05:37] Chi     Hey! You're getting left behind! [05:41] Dai     Coming! [05:43] Dai     Later, Anita. [05:48] Ani     Ouch... [05:53] Ani     I'm injured, so I can't go practice     with 'em, even though I wanna. [05:57] Ani     But there ain't anythin' wrong     with Sagara-senpai or Sawa-senpai, [06:00] Ani     so why'd they go home instead     of watchin' Eihou's game with us?

[06:28] (Flashback) Tao     Dang, looks like you stole my spotlight. [06:30] (Flashback) Yay     Couldn't have done it without your setup. [06:34] Ani     I've admired those two     ever since I was in Little. [06:38] Ani     Both of 'em were already doin' amazin' things     even before I started wearin' the mask. [06:44] Ani     Please lemme keep admirin' you forever... [06:52] Yay     D'you think that was a bit mean,     running out on Daigo? [06:55] Tao     Not even a little. [06:56] Tao     His relentless can-do attitude     is honestly exhausting at times. [07:01] Tao     There's no way we can beat Eihou, anyway. [07:04] Yay     What if they all went back to school     to practice after the Eihou game? [07:07] Tao     Nah, surely not. [07:09] Tao     Oh, wait, that actually does sound     like something Daigo would suggest. [07:13] Tao     Jeez, it's not like a few random practice     sessions are the answer to everything. [07:17] Tao     Especially for you, Yayoi— [07:24] Yay     Well, I'm not letting baseball eat into     my downtime after a game on a weekend. [07:28] Tao     Right? [07:30] Tao     I mean, I like baseball. I really do.     But don't you wonder sometimes? [07:34] Tao     If this is all our middle     school years are about? [07:37] Yay     Meaning? [07:39] Tao     This is our youth, you know? Our youth! [07:41] Tao     At this rate, it'll be three years later,     and all we'll have done [07:44] Tao     is sweat our asses off on the field,     chasing a white ball around! [07:48] Yay     I think getting sweaty on a baseball field      and chasing a white ball around [07:51] Yay     is exactly what adults call "youth." [07:54] Tao     What? [07:56] Yay     But the "youth" you're talking about     is something like that, right? [08:00] Girl     Say "Ah." [08:00] Guy     Ah. [08:02] Tao     I can't go to high school and admit     to people I've never had a boyfriend! [08:07] Yay     I get where you're coming from. [08:09] Yay     Wouldn't it be nice to be like Mutsuko     and have a crush on someone on our team? [08:14] Tao     Right... Wait, what did you just say? [08:17] Yay     Don't tell me you haven't noticed. [08:20] Tao     Who is it? [08:21] Tao     Daigo? [08:21] Tao     Nishina? [08:22] Yay     Hey now, what happened to Tanba-san? [08:25] Tao     No way it's him. [08:29] Dai     Okay! [08:30] Dai     Let's go. [08:31] Mut     Okay. [08:37] Dai     That was nice! [08:43] Nis     Huh. Those are pretty fast. [08:46] Nis     Not nearly as fast as mine, of course. [08:49] Nis     But probably faster than— [08:50] Mut     Hm? [08:51] Nis     Oh, nothing. [08:56] Dai     Looking good! [08:58] Dai     By the way, can you throw any breaking balls? [09:02] Chi     I'm not sure, but I'll give it a try. [09:06] Mut     That's a bit mean of Daigo. [09:08] Mut     Chisato's a first-year. She can't     just casually throw breaking balls. [09:13] Mut     After all, grade schoolers     are banned from using them. [09:18] Dai     Nice ball! [09:20] Mut     A slider? [09:22] Nis     Breaking balls are only     banned in rubber-ball. [09:25] Nis     But she played Little League. [09:28] Dai     I liked that slider! [09:30] Dai     Your control was good, too.     We can really use these! [09:33] Chi     Oh, really? [09:35] Chi     I'm so happy! [09:36] Chi     Thank you! [09:38] Nis     I think Fujii just secured     the starting pitcher spot. [09:42] Nis     What? I was just saying. [09:44] Mut     Good work today. [09:47] Mut     Hey, Daigo! I'm pretty tired, so I'm heading home. [09:51] Dai     Uh, okay. Good job today. [09:54] Mut     Good luck, Chisato. [09:56] Chi     I'll try! [10:05] (Flashback) Mut     Pitcher? [10:07] (Flashback) Dai     Yeah. We don't have a pitcher right now, you see. [10:11] (Flashback) Mut     Well, yeah, but I'm sure one of     the new sign-ups in spring will want to pitch. [10:17] (Flashback) Dai     Spring's way too late. [10:19] (Flashback) Dai     We won't know if we can     throw them straight into a game, [10:21] (Flashback) Dai     so we need to train up at least     one pitcher from our current roster. [10:28] Mut     See? Good pitchers signed up after all. [10:44] Izu     Ack, I'm soaked through. [10:46] Izu     I didn't know it was gonna rain today. [10:50] Mut     Izumi-senpai? [10:53] Izu     Hi! [11:02] Izu     Well, isn't this a crazy coincidence! [11:04] Mut     Right? [11:06] Izu     Are you coming back from a game? [11:08] Izu     Your second game was today, wasn't it? [11:10] Mut     Yes. [11:11] Izu     So how'd it go? [11:13] Mut     We won. [11:14] Mut     It was really close, but still... [11:15] Izu     Wow, that's awesome! [11:18] Izu     So is it the semi-finals tomorrow? [11:20] Mut     Yeah, looks like. [11:21] Izu     The fact you made it this far     with your useless captain [11:25] Izu     means the ace must be rock solid. [11:27] Mut     Oh, no... [11:28] Mut     Besides, it's all thanks to you. [11:31] Mut     You taught me how to throw breaking balls. [11:33] Izu     You were a quick learner,     so teaching you was fun for me too. [11:39] (Flashback) Izu     Put your middle finger on the stitching. [11:41] (Flashback) Izu     Yeah, like that. [11:42] (Flashback) Izu     Don't twist. Slice it like... this. [11:45] (Flashback) Mut     Don't twist, slice. [11:48] Mut     Since then, I've also learned     how to do pickoff attempts. [11:51] Mut     There are so many things a pitcher     needs to learn. It's a bit overwhelming. [11:57] Izu     But still fun, right? [11:58] Mut     Yes! [12:04] Mut     Which is why I'd really like     to be pitching all the time. [12:10] Mut     Today, I ran out of steam     in the middle of the game, [12:13] Mut     and tomorrow, another girl     might be the starting pitcher. [12:19] Izu     Mutsuko-chan, tomorrow would     be your third day in a row, right? [12:22] Izu     Then, it's totally normal. [12:29] Mut     I suppose. [12:33] Izu     I bet you feel a strong sense     of responsibility for the team. [12:39] Mut     Huh? [12:40] Izu     You're a bit like Daigo in that way. [12:44] Izu     Heh, I guess that's a bit of an insult,     comparing you to him. [12:59] Izu     I thought this was gonna be a shower,     but doesn't look like it's stopping. [13:05] Izu     Here you go. [13:06] Izu     You can use this umbrella, if you like. [13:08] Izu     I'll just sprint home. [13:10] Mut     Oh, I couldn't! [13:12] Mut     You should take it! [13:14] Mut     I'll be fine. I'll run home. [13:16] Izu     Daigo would be super mad if I let his ace     catch a cold the day before the semi-finals. [13:24] Izu     Take it. [13:26] Izu     See ya. [13:27] Izu     Good luck tomorrow. [13:44] Nis     The rain's getting even worse. [13:47] Dai     No signs of it letting up. [13:49] Dai     Let's call it a day. [13:50] Nis     Huh? Seriously? [13:52] Chi     Okay. [13:53] Chi     I'm off, then. [13:54] Nis     H-Hey! I haven't thrown a single pitch yet! [13:59] Dai     That's too bad. [14:00] Dai     Let's get going before we catch a chill. [14:03] Nis     What the hell?! [14:04] Nis     This rain won't dampen my pitching spirit! [14:08] Nis     Okay, you win this round, rain. [14:14] Nis     Man, the weather forecast was way off. [14:20] Kids     Nishina? [14:23] Chib     You on your way home? [14:24] Nis     Yeah. [14:25] Nis     You guys just finished practice, too? [14:27] Chib     Yeah, more or less. [14:28] Ume     So are you still on that all-girls' team? [14:32] Nis     Yeah, more or less. [14:33] Fuji     You ain't got it easy, huh? [14:36] Nis     What about you? [14:37] Nis     How are you doing in Senior League? [14:39] Nis     You all starters yet? [14:41] Chib     Are you really in any position     to worry about us? [14:44] Chib     I heard, y'know. [14:45] Chib     I know they still haven't let you pitch     in your girls' rubber-ball team. [14:50] Nis     C'mon, dude, your info's outta date. [14:52] Nis     They want me to be the     starting pitcher in the final. [14:55] Nis     Against Eihou, no less. [14:58] Nis     Looks like those fools finally     realized how good I really am. [15:02] Nis     This is the beginning of my saga! [15:05] Chib     Huh? [15:06] Kit     Looks like you're having a good time. [15:09] Ume     You've really meshed with that team, huh. [15:12] Nis     Totally the opposite.     They're meshing with me! [15:17] Sign     Hayashida Chiropractor [15:17] Sign     Hayashida Chiropractor [15:17] Nurse     Take care.

[15:28] Ani     The doc told me I oughtn't play tomorrow,     but that ain't a luxury I can afford. [15:36] Ani     Seriously? It's rainin'?! [15:38] Ani     Aw man, this sucks. I ain't got an umbrella. [15:43] Ani     No, wait, this is great! [15:45] Ani     If the game gets postponed     to next week 'cause of the rain, [15:48] Ani     my wrist'll be all healed up by then! [15:50] Ani     Rain harder! [15:52] Ani     Postpone the game! [15:54] Tao     Wow, I never knew Mutsuko     had a thing for Daigo. [15:58] Yay     Seriously, are you blind? [16:00] Yay     It's pretty obvious just by looking at them. [16:04] Yay     Oh. It's raining. [16:06] Tao     Ah. Wonder if they'll     postpone tomorrow's game. [16:09] Tao     Not that it matters when we play Eihou.     The result will be the same. [16:14] Tao     Hey, Yayoi, do you have an umbrella? [16:17] Yay     Just a folding one.

[17:23] Dad     So how'd it go, Chisato? [17:26] Chi     Oh, we won. [17:28] Chi     And our semi-final opponent looks beatable, [17:31] Chi     so we'll probably make the final. [17:34] Chi     And tomorrow, I'm going to pitch as well. [17:41] Dad     That's fantastic! [17:42] Dad     I'll definitely be there to cheer you on. [17:45] Chi     But don't you have a Dolphins game tomorrow? [17:48] Dad     Oh, yeah, that's right. [17:50] Dad     I should be able to make it to the final, though. [17:53] Dad     Wait for me on the mound, Chisato. [17:56] Chi     I think they're getting someone     else to pitch in the final. [18:01] Dad     That's fine, too! [18:02] Dad     All right! Let's go winjoy some pork     cutlet rice bowl to bring you luck! [18:06] Mom     I just finished making dinner.     I fried up some ginger pork. [18:10] Mom     What did you say you     were going to go eat? [18:12] Dad     I-It was a joke! [18:14] Dad     You make the best food, Miho. [18:21] Chi     Hang in there, Dad. [18:35] Mom     So I heard you won again. [18:38] Mom     You're on a roll. [18:39] Mom     Maybe I'll come watch your game tomorrow. [18:41] Dai     You don't have to. [18:43] Dai     This next game is going to be     more of a test run, anyway. [18:46] Izu     I'll give you credit for making     it this far with that team. [18:50] Izu     But are you on top of it? [18:52] Dai     On top of what? [18:53] Izu     The mental side. [18:55] Izu     Especially with your ace. [18:57] Izu     You're the captain, so it's your job     to keep on top of these things. [19:01] Dai     Our ace? [19:02] Dai     Something up with Mutsuko? [19:05] Izu     You really don't have the slightest clue? [19:11] Dai     Pitching two games in a row     has really tired her out, [19:13] Dai     so I decided to use two     pitchers in tomorrow's game. [19:16] Dai     But that's for her sake too. [19:18] Izu     Even if it's for her, you have to     consider how delicate a girl's heart is! [19:24] Mom     It might not be in Mutsuko-chan's     interest to say too much. [19:28] Mom     Daigo is just as dense as his father. [19:32] Izu     You're right. [19:33] Izu     It was foolish of me to try. [19:36] Dai     Huh? [19:39] Tv     And now, the weather for the     Kantou Koushinetsu area. [19:43] Tv     Intermittent showers will continue     through the night and into the early hours. [19:48] Tv     But the rain will clear up by morning,     and we should see some sun in the afternoon. [19:53] Dai     The field will be in bad shape.     I wonder if they'll cancel the game. [19:57] Dai     Considering Anita's injury and Mutsuko's     fatigue, that might work out better for us. [20:05] Mom     Izumi, can you get that? [20:07] Izu     Sure. [20:11] Izu     Oh, actually, I think I need     the toilet, like right now. [20:14] Izu     Daigo, can you get it? [20:16] Dai     What? [20:19] Dai     Hello? [20:21] Dai     Mutsuko? [20:23] Dai     What are you doing here this late? [20:25] Mut     I ran into Izumi-senpai earlier, [20:28] Mut     and she lent me this. [20:30] Mut     I wanted to return it as soon as possible. [20:33] Dai     You could've just given it to me tomorrow. [20:36] Mut     Well, I guess, but... [20:40] Dai     I'm glad I got a chance to see you, though. [20:45] Dai     You looked so tired earlier.     I'm relieved you're looking better. [20:49] Mut     Oh, that's what he meant. [20:53] Mut     Well, see you tomorrow. [20:55] Dai     Yeah. Later. [21:03] Izu     What is wrong with you?! [21:04] Izu     Walk her home this instant! [21:05] Mom     That's right, Daigo! [21:12] Mut     I kinda feel bad. [21:14] Mut     Now you're walking me home. [21:16] Dai     Oh, no, it's not a problem. [21:22] Both     You know... [21:22] Both     You know... [21:26] Dai     Oh, sorry. Go ahead. [21:29] Mut     It wasn't important.     What were you going to say? [21:34] Dai     No, I was just thinking... [21:40] Dai     I hope it doesn't stop raining. [21:47] Mut     Yeah. [24:00] Nis     This is bad. The ground's so soggy,     it's just one error after the other! [24:04] Nis     This game's gonna be tough, Sekitori-senpai. [24:06] Kan     It's "Kandori," not "Sekitori." I'm not a sumo. [24:08] Nis     Anyway, why are all     the girls getting so tense? [24:11] Nis     What's going on? [24:12] Kan     Girls have a lot to worry about, okay? [24:14] Nis     Like what? How to season your sumo stew? [24:17] Kan     That'll go down sumooth!     Wait, that's not a Sekitori's job! [24:18] Nis     Aren't you a Kandori?! SIGN    Semi-Finals Time! [24:20] Nis     Next time: "Semi-Finals Time!" [24:22] Kan     Run to the stage of your dreams!
