[00:07] Mut
    Yes! It's going to get canceled for sure!
[00:09] Mut
    By next week, I'll have my energy back,
    so Chisato won't take my place on the mound!

    Shigeno Daigo
[00:18] Mut
    Ah, it's Daigo.
[00:20] Mut
    Hello?
[00:21] Mut
    Good morning!
[00:23] Mut
    What?
[00:25] Mut
    The game's going ahead?!
SIGN    Semi-Finals Time!
[01:58] Tea
    The organizers of the tournament said
    this rain isn't enough for them to cancel.
[02:03] Tea
    Apparently, it's supposed
    to let up around noon.
[02:06] Tao
    So why can't we wait for it
    to stop and then play?
[02:09] Tea
    I'll leave the rest to you, Shigeno-kun.
[02:11] Dai
    Right.
[02:13] Dai
    These conditions aren't the best,
    but it's the same for both teams.
[02:17] Dai
    It would've been nice to
    have some time to rest up,
[02:21] Dai
    but let's get fired up
    and do our best out there.

[02:24] Dai
    Okay, time for today's batting lineup.
[02:27] Dai
    Leadoff to third will
    stay the same as before:
[02:30] Dai
    Chisato, Tao, and Sawa-san.
[02:33] Dai
    Since Anita's wrist is injured, I'll play
    cleanup and wear the mask today.
[02:40] Saw
    That's some load you're carrying, captain.
[02:43] Dai
    Since he did well last time out,
    batting fifth, Nishina, right field.
[02:45] Nis
    Yeah, there it is!
[02:48] Dai
    Batting sixth, Anita, left field.
[02:51] Dai
    Batting seventh, Tanba-san, first base.
[02:54] Tan
    Got it.
[02:55] Dai
    Batting eighth, Kandori, third base.
[02:57] Nis
    The questionable 6-hole has
    finally dropped down the order.
[03:04] Mut
    I guess Chisato will be pitching first.
[03:07] Mut
    Well, after yesterday's pitching practice,
[03:10] Mut
    it's obvious it'll be either
    her or Nishina on the mound.
[03:14] Dai
    Batting ninth and last, Mutsuko,
    so she won't have to bat so much.
[03:18] Dai
    And naturally, she's our starting pitcher.
[03:21] Dai
    All right, let's go!
[03:23] Mut
    Huh?!

    All right.
[03:33] Guy
    Oops.
[03:36] Guy
    Sorry!
[03:39] Nis
    I see how it is.
[03:41] Tan
    I'm surprised this team managed to win twice.
[03:45] Ani
    Ain't this a sign that
    they've got a good pitcher?
[03:48] Dai
    Nope. Their #1 and #10 were pitching yesterday...
[03:55] Dai
    ...and it was like that.
[03:56] Tao
    So slow!
[03:57] Nis
    Looks like this'll be an easy win.
[04:00] Tan
    No. We can't let our guard down.
[04:02] Tan
    If we're just going on speed,
    our ace isn't any faster.
[04:07] Dai
    It seems the luck of the
    draw got them this far,
[04:10] Dai
    but underestimating them could be fatal.
[04:12] Dai
    Let's keep our heads, get a clean win,
[04:15] Dai
    and progress to the final this afternoon.
[04:17] Ump
    Line up!
[04:19] Ump
    Bow!
[04:20] All
    Good luck!
[04:29] (Flashback) Mut
    H-Hold up, Daigo.
[04:32] (Flashback) Dai
    Huh?
[04:33] (Flashback) Mut
    Why are you putting me in from the start?
[04:36] (Flashback) Mut
    I thought you'd put
    Chisato on the mound first,
[04:38] (Flashback) Mut
    since I'm tired from
    pitching two days in a row.
[04:41] (Flashback) Dai
    I never said I'd do that.
[04:43] (Flashback) Dai
    What I said was we'd get both
    of you pitching against Yanagawa.
[04:48] (Flashback) Dai
    I don't know how much your body
    was able to recover in just one night.
[04:52] (Flashback) Dai
    You'll pitch from the start, but as soon
    as fatigue sets in, we'll switch to Chisato.
[04:57] (Flashback) Dai
    I'll keep an eye out for that as well.
[04:59] (Flashback) Mut
    B-But Chisato's pitches are way faster,
    and she has experience...
[05:05] (Flashback) Dai
    Pitching isn't about how fast
    you can throw it, Mutsuko.
[05:12] Ann
    First inning, Yanagawa Middle to bat.

[05:16] Ann
    Batting first, shortstop, Hasegawa-kun.
[05:20] Ump
    Play ball!
[05:22] (Flashback) Dai
    The most important thing
    in pitching is control,
[05:25] (Flashback) Dai
    and the mental strength to
    maintain that control at all times.
[05:29] Ump
    Strike!
[05:31] (Flashback) Dai
    You have a firm handle on both.
[05:38] Ump
    Foul!
[05:40] (Flashback) Dai
    Chisato may be experienced,
    but she's a middle relief pitcher.
[05:43] (Flashback) Dai
    We have no idea about her stamina,
    or how she performs as a starting pitcher.
[05:47] (Flashback) Dai
    But we do know that, despite everything,
    you've gotten us through the last two games,
[05:52] (Flashback) Dai
    and you're getting better and better.
[05:57] (Flashback) Dai
    Navigating tight spots and keeping it
    together in your very first tournament
[06:02] (Flashback) Dai
    requires a lot of mental strength.
[06:04] (Flashback) Dai
    Have more faith in yourself, Mutsuko.
[06:11] Ump
    Strike three! Out!
[06:14] Dai
    Nice one!
[06:19] Saw
    Well, look at you, little miss chirpy.
[06:21] Tao
    Looking good, Mutsu!
[06:23] Ann
    Batting second, right field, Tanimura-kun.
[06:24] Ani
    Yer one tough cookie, Senpai.
[06:32] Ump
    Strike! You're out!
[06:35] Saw
    Two outs!
[06:37] Chi
    Huh. Doesn't look like I'm needed, after all.
[06:40] Ann
    Batting third, left field, Nakamori-kun.
[06:45] Coa
    Well, luck got us this far,
[06:48] Coa
    but I guess when you get to the semi-finals,
[06:50] Coa
    you won't face a team nice
    enough to give you gimmes.
[06:56] Ump
    Strike!
[06:59] Dai
    Mutsuko's in good form.
[07:02] Dai
    I guess she's the type of pitcher who recovers
    quickly and gets better the more she pitches.
[07:05] Mut
    I can do this.
[07:07] Mut
    I don't feel tired at all and against
    these guys, I can win this by myself!
[07:13] Tao
    Got it!
[07:15] Tao
    Huh?
[07:19] Ump
    Safe!
[07:20] Tao
    Sorry, my bad.
[07:22] Mut
    It's okay.
[07:25] Ann
    Batting fourth, third base, Kimura-kun.
[07:34] Dai
    Second!
[07:38] Nis
    Hey, c'mon! What the hell are you doing?
[07:42] Kim
    All right! Two outs, first and third!
[07:43] Coa
    Looks like our team hasn't run out of luck yet.
[07:47] Saw
    I'm sorry, Mutsuko.
[07:49] Mut
    It's fine, don't worry!
[07:51] Ann
    Batting fifth, second base, Sakai-kun.
[07:55] Dai
    Both made errors even though
    they're usually good in the field.
[08:00] Dai
    The rain's making the
    ball behave differently,
[08:02] Dai
    which makes bad hops more likely.
[08:05] Dai
    The ground's pretty messed up because
    of both teams' drills before the game.
[08:09] Dai
    This is bad.
[08:15] All
    Got it!
[08:19] Yay
    Uh-oh.
[08:19] Yay
    Seriously?
[08:20] Boy
    Yeah! We took the lead!
[08:24] Yay
    We all thought we had it, huh?
[08:25] Chi
    I'm sorry.
[08:27] Chi
    Next time that happens,
    I'll make sure I get to it.
[08:30] Tao
    Sounds good!
[08:32] Ann
    Batting sixth, first base, Takanashi-kun.
[08:34] Tao
    Two outs!

[08:42] Mut
    so why is it going down like this?
[08:45] Ump
    Ball!
[08:47] Ump
    Ball!
[08:55] Ump
    Ball!
[08:57] Mut
    Seriously, what's going on?
[08:59] Mut
    The ball's wet from the rain and
    I'm having trouble controlling it!
[09:03] Dai
    Mutsuko! Use the rosin bag!
[09:06] Dai
    It's in your back pocket!
[09:08] Dai
    It'll stop it from slipping!
[09:09] Mut
    Ah! I forgot all about that.
[09:13] Mut
    I've never really used it before.
[09:22] Ump
    Play!
[09:23] Nis
    Come on. Get it together.
[09:26] Ani
    Ya got this, Senpai!
[09:29] Mut
    Good luck, Mutsuko.
[09:35] Ump
    Strike!
[09:37] Ump
    Strike two!
[09:40] Ump
    You're out!
[09:41] Ump
    Three outs!
[09:44] Dai
    Awesome!
[09:45] Dai
    Nice pitching!
[09:47] Dai
    She needed rosin, but she got us out of that
    tight spot with three consecutive strikes.
[09:52] Mut
    Yeah, let's turn it around from here!
[09:53] Dai
    Her ability to self-correct
    and her guts on the mound
[09:56] Dai
    may be way better than even I was expecting.
[10:00] Saw
    We're lucky we've got Mutsuko, huh?
[10:03] Tao
    You said it. Our errors were
    about to cost us a ton of runs.
[10:08] Ani
    Senpai.
[10:12] Saw
    What's up, Anita?
[10:14] Ani
    Oh, uh, y-ya know,
    yer the linchpin of our defense,
[10:19] Ani
    so ya gotta tighten up
    an' be a bit more solid.
[10:22] Tao
    We already know that.
[10:24] Tao
    But what can we do?
[10:25] Tao
    The ground conditions are really bad.
[10:27] Saw
    Sorry about that. We'll be more careful.
[10:29] Saw
    That run was totally on us.
[10:35] Ann
    Bottom of the first.

    Fuurin Academy to bat.
[10:39] Ann
    Batting first, center field, Fujii-san.
[10:42] Nis
    All right! Go!
[10:44] Nis
    Against this loser pitcher,
    one run is nothing!
[10:48] Mut
    Hey!
[10:49] Mut
    You'll get us a warning from the umpire.
[10:51] Ump
    Play!
[10:59] Ump
    Strike!
[11:05] (Flashback) Tao
    Hm? Did you say something, Anita?
[11:07] (Flashback) Ani
    I'm talkin' 'bout yesterday, ya know?
[11:10] (Flashback) Ani
    Shigeno-senpai wanted us
    to watch Eihou's game.
[11:15] (Flashback) Ani
    So why'd y'all split?
[11:17] (Flashback) Tao
    Hm? What's wrong?
[11:19] (Flashback) Tao
    Are you mad we left, Anita?
[11:22] (Flashback) Ani
    W-Well, I ain't exactly mad...
[11:25] (Flashback) Tao
    I mean, maybe it wasn't fair on
    Daigo AKA Mr. Overenthusiastic,
[11:29] (Flashback) Tao
    but we thought watching
    Eihou's game was pretty pointless.
[11:39] Nis
    Yes!
[11:40] Mut
    Nice batting!
[11:42] Ann
    Batting second, shortstop, Sagara-san.
[11:45] (Flashback) Ani
    Wh-Whaddaya mean, "pointless"?
[11:48] (Flashback) Tao
    Well, you know...
[11:52] (Flashback) Tao
    We're girls, after all.
[11:54] (Flashback) Tao
    I mean, competing with the boys?
    We should drop it while we can laugh it off.
[11:58] (Flashback) Saw
    To be honest, the thought of
    playing Eihou does nothing for me.
[12:02] (Flashback) Saw
    They're gonna demolish us
    and make us feel pathetic.
[12:09] Ump
    Out!
[12:11] Ump
    Out!
[12:19] Tao
    Huh. Maybe that was a ball after all.

    It's hard to get a good hit.
[12:39] Tao
    They're so weak, they go nowhere
    even when you do hit them.
[12:43] Dai
    Hey, you two.
[12:45] Dai
    Both the ones you swung at were balls.
[12:48] Dai
    I know it's tempting to swing
    when they're that slow,
[12:50] Dai
    but pick your moment.
[12:52] Tao
    Yeah, you're right.
[12:54] Saw
    Sorry, my bad.
[12:58] Ani
    Those errors earlier...
[12:59] Ani
    It ain't the rain that caused 'em.
[13:02] Ani
    Those two couldn't care less
    'bout winnin' this game!
[13:07] Ani
    I remember what they said.
[13:09] (Flashback) Tao
    We should drop it while we can laugh it off.
[13:13] (Flashback) Saw
    They're going to demolish us
    and make us feel pathetic.
[13:17] Ani
    An' they meant it, too.
[13:20] Ani
    If the backbone of our
    team has that attitude,
[13:22] Ani
    we ain't even gonna win the
    games we should be winnin'!
[13:43] Ann
    Batting second, shortstop, Sagara-san.
[13:46] Dai
    This is bad.
[13:48] Dai
    Only two innings left.
[13:50] Dai
    With a pitcher like that,
    I figured runs would come easy.
[13:53] Dai
    I never imagined we'd have no
    runs on the board by the fifth.
[13:56] Mut
    Tao! Go get 'em!
[13:59] Dai
    Ah, we can do that.
[14:00] Dai
    You need to sit on the bench and rest up
    as much as you can while we're batting.
[14:05] Mut
    I'm fine, really.
[14:07] Mut
    If we don't score some runs, we're going to lose!
[14:10] Mut
    This isn't the time to space out in the back.
[14:12] Mut
    Tao! You can do this!
[14:15] Ani
    Sakura-senpai's on her third straight game
    pitchin' an' she's still goin' strong.
[14:22] Ani
    This is the innin' where the top
    of the order needs to do somethin'!
[14:31] Dai
    All right!
[14:34] Ump
    Out!
[14:35] Tao
    Dang. That was a good hit, too.
[14:40] Ann
    Batting third, second base, Sawa-san.
[14:44] Dai
    I thought Tao would make that for sure...
[14:48] Dai
    This is really bad.
[14:49] Dai
    We need to do something this inning.
[14:51] Dai
    Or we'll have our backs to the wall.
[14:54] Tao
    Sorry I couldn't get on base.
[14:56] Tao
    It would've made it through
    if it wasn't such a swamp out there.
[15:00] Ani
    So why didn't you start
    runnin' sooner, Sagara-senpai?
[15:09] Ani
    'Course ya won't make it if ya wait till
    it bounces off his glove to start runnin'.
[15:13] Ani
    Are ya really fine with losin' this game?
[15:17] Ani
    Sakura-senpai's givin' it
    all she's got out there.
[15:21] Ani
    Don't that mean anythin' to you?!
[15:24] Ump
    Ball!
[15:28] Tao
    You think Yayoi and me aren't giving it our
    all 'cause of what we said earlier, Anita?
[15:34] Ani
    Well, what'm I s'posed to think?!
[15:37] Ani
    Yer makin' errors and swingin' too early!
[15:40] Dai
    What's going on?
[15:42] Mut
    Hang on, Anita.
[15:44] Mut
    You were slow to start running because
    your foot slipped on the mud, right?
[15:48] Tao
    Yeah.
[15:50] Mut
    I heard what they said too,
    but I figured it was just a joke.
[15:54] Mut
    I can't imagine either of them
    wanting to lose on purpose.
[15:57] Ani
    If they ain't ready to give it everythin'
    to win, it amounts to the same thing!
[16:01] Nis
    What are you girls on about?
[16:03] Chi
    It doesn't matter.
[16:04] Chi
    Just some girls' locker room talk.
[16:07] Ani
    I'm sayin' it don't look like
    you're givin' it your all out there!
[16:10] Tao
    What?
[16:11] Tao
    You've got some nerve saying
    that when you've got no proof!
[16:14] Ani
    Proof? Oh, there's proof.
[16:17] Ani
    Plenty o' proof!
[16:18] Ani
    You ain't done jack against
    this crazy weak opponent!

    Yes!

    Now, stop accusing people

    Field change for Yanagawa Middle.

    replaced by Fukuzawa-kun.
[17:30] Tan
    Hey, it looks like I might be up soon,
    so can you two take over as base coaches?
[17:34] Tao
    Sure. I'll take first base.
[17:36] Tao
    Yayoi, can you take third?
[17:39] Saw
    Okay.
[17:43] Mut
    He's a left-hander like you, Chisato.
[17:46] Chi
    Doesn't seem like he's any
    faster than their starting pitcher.

    Batting sixth, left field, Kabashima-san.

    Play!

    Tied game, one out,

    when he was warmin' up.

    I've caught Chisato's pitches before...
[18:33] Ani
    But I ain't got a whole lotta experience
    hittin' left-handed pitches.

    I'm sorry.

    That was pathetic.

    So, thanks to Anita screwing up her hit,
    it's up to our hopeless 7-hole and 8-hole.
[19:41] Tan
    Th-They're walking me?
[19:43] Ump
    Ball!
[19:43] Chi
    I guess it's because first is open.
[19:46] Mut
    He does also look like
    the biggest baseball nut.
[19:49] Tan
    Thank god!
[19:52] Ump
    Ball!
[19:53] Ump
    Ball four.
[19:55] Nis
    Wow-ee. So now sumo girl is up?
[19:59] Ann
    Batting eighth, third base, Kandori-san.
[20:02] Nis
    Hey, Shigeno!
[20:04] Nis
    I mean, captain!
[20:05] Nis
    Timeout! Timeout!
[20:06] Dai
    Excuse me! Timeout!
[20:08] Ump
    Timeout!
[20:09] Dai
    What's up, Nishina?
[20:10] Dai
    Is something wrong?
[20:11] Nis
    You have to ask?
    Are you even paying attention?!
[20:14] Nis
    What's Sekitori gonna do here?
[20:17] Nis
    All she'll do is strike out.
[20:19] Nis
    Do something!
[20:20] Dai
    S-Sekitori?
[20:22] Dai
    Oh, you mean Kandori.
[20:24] Dai
    There's no need to do anything.
[20:25] Nis
    What?
[20:27] Dai
    Don't worry.
[20:28] Dai
    You can count on Kandori in this at-bat.
[20:30] Nis
    What?
[20:34] Ump
    Are you done?
[20:35] Dai
    Ah, I'm sorry!
[20:36] Dai
    We're ready.
[20:39] Chi
    Hey, Anita, your face is covered in dirt!
[20:42] Chi
    You should go wash it.
[20:43] Ani
    Huh? What?
[20:45] Ani
    Is it that dirty?
[20:47] Ump
    Play!
[20:58] (Flashback) Dai
    When she was new to the team,
    she couldn't hit anything in the cages.
[21:04] (Flashback) Dai
    But then, we tried a left-handed machine
    and found she could hit those really well.
[21:18] Ani
    Huh?
[21:19] Ani
    Oh?
[21:27] (Flashback) Dai
    You make fun of her
    because you haven't seen it,
[21:30] (Flashback) Dai
    but against left-handed
    pitchers, she's a real machine.
[21:40] Kan
    All right.
[21:44] Nis
    Seriously?
[21:47] (Flashback) Dai
    Despite being a left-handed batter,
    she's a southpaw killer.
[21:57] (Flashback) Dai
    And none of us could figure out why.
[22:04] Txt
    Yanagawa
[22:04] Txt
    Fuurin Academy
[22:04] Txt
    Fuurin Academy
[22:16] Ump
    That's game.
[22:26] All
    Thank you!
[24:00] Dai
    Huh?
[24:01] Dai
    Isn't that Mayuwara Michiru-chan?
[24:04] Dai
    What's she doing on this team?
[24:06] Dai
    I guess she continued playing
    in the rubber-ball leagues?
[24:08] Mich
    It's been a while, Shigeno-kun.
[24:11] Mich
    I've decided to take the crown
    with this team, with these people.
[24:16] Mich
    I don't care who I go up
    against, I won't lose.
[24:19] Dai
    Next time: "An Unexpected Reunion."
SIGN    An Unexpected Reunion
[24:21] Mich
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
