[00:01] Dai
    It's the second round of the Regionals.
[00:03] Dai
    My name's Shigeno Daigo, and I was put
    into the starting lineup as catcher.
[00:07] Dai
    However, I put us in trouble because of
    my inexperience and got subbed out.
[00:11] Dai
    With no outs and runners on first and second,
[00:14] Dai
    our regular catcher, Andy, stepped up.
[00:19] Fuj
    Nice one, Andy!
[00:21] Ura
    Yeah! A double play!
[00:26] Hik
    Nice!
[00:27] Kom
    They got us.
[00:29] Kom
    I didn't expect him to have the
    courage to waste a pitch there.
[00:33] Dai
    Wow!
[00:36] Dai
    So that's a real catcher?
[00:39] And
    Two outs!
[00:41] Tam
    Hmph, not bad.
SIGN    Nijigaoka
SIGN    Mifune
[02:30] Dai
    The score is two–nothing.
SIGN    All-Out Battle
[02:31] Dai
    The Nijigaoka Beetles have
    the lead going into the sixth.
[02:36] Dai
    Two outs, and a runner on second.
[02:41] And
    Two down, two down!
SIGN    Nijigaoka Beetles
SIGN    Pitcher Tamaki
[02:47] Kom
    Damn it.
SIGN    Nijigaoka Beetles
SIGN    Manager Komori
[02:48] Kom
    From no outs with runners on first and
    second to two outs with a runner on second.
[02:52] Kom
    Their pitcher's been rejuvenated
    since this catcher came on the field.
SIGN    Catcher
SIGN    Suzuki Andy
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Coach Fujii
SIGN    Mifune Dolphins
SIGN    Manager Tashiro
[02:57] Fuj
    First base is open.
[02:59] Coa
    Don't get into a battle of wills
    with their cleanup.
[03:01] Coa
    Walk him.
SIGN    Pitcher
SIGN    Urabe Hayato
[03:07] Tam
    Huh?
[03:11] Old
    They're walking him, huh?
[03:13] Old
    Well, it's understandable.
[03:18] And
    Time out!
[03:21] And
    What's up? You don't want to walk this guy?
[03:24] Ura
    How did you know?
[03:26] And
    Of course I knew.
[03:27] And
    How many years have I been
    catching your pitches?
[03:33] Fuj
    What's this?
[03:34] Fuj
    Don't tell me they actually
    want to take this guy on...
[03:44] Fuj
    What?!
[03:46] Ump
    Play!
[03:47] Dai
    They're not going to walk him?
[03:49] Tam
    Nice. I like your style.
[03:52] Fuj
    Hey! Shouldn't you stop them, Tashiro?
[03:55] Tas
    Maybe I should,
[03:57] Tas
    but I've given Andy the final say
    when it comes to judgment calls.
[04:01] Tas
    This battery must have some kind of plan.
[04:06] (Flashback) Ura
    Wanting to take him on
    isn't an ego thing.
[04:12] (Flashback) Ura
    If the score was 0-0,
    or we were in the lead,
[04:15] (Flashback) Ura
    I'd walk him without a second thought.
[04:19] Ump
    Foul!
[04:21] Ura
    But right now, we're two runs behind.
[04:25] Ura
    We've only got two more chances to attack.
[04:28] Ura
    Up to now, this ace who plays cleanup
[04:30] Ura
    hasn't given up a hit,
    let alone a chance to score.
[04:34] Ura
    In order to get our team into
    the counterattacking mindset,
[04:37] Ura
    we need to crush our opponent's ace.
[04:42] Ump
    Strike two!
[04:44] Ura
    And if we shut them out this inning after
    the chances they've had, they'll be deflated.
[04:50] Ura
    It'll reverse the flow of the game.
[04:52] Ura
    I'll shut him down here
[04:55] Ura
    and give us the momentum!
[04:58] ---
    Got him!
[05:02] And
    Right field!
SIGN    Right fielder
SIGN    Sakura Mutsuko
[05:05] Tam
    Center, center!
[05:14] Tab
    Go home!
[05:16] Hik
    What are you doing, Mutsuko-chan?!
[05:17] Sak
    No!
[05:19] Sak
    But why?
[05:20] Naka
    Third run!
[05:24] Tab
    Yeah! Good job, Tamaki!
[05:27] Naka
    Sweet! A double!
[05:29] Ura
    That moron. We had it in the bag.
[05:32] Ura
    What the hell was she playing at?!
[05:35] Hik
    What happened, Mutsuko-chan?
[05:36] Hik
    You were right underneath the ball.
[05:39] Sak
    I heard someone shout "center."
SIGN    Center
SIGN    Satou Hikaru
[05:43] Sak
    I thought that meant you were coming for it.
[05:47] Hik
    Katsumata-kun, did you shout "center"?
[05:51] Kat
    No, I didn't.
[05:53] Gramp
    That girl fell for his fake-out.
[05:56] Gran
    Fake-out?
[05:58] Gramp
    The bench and the umpire
    were too far away to hear it,
[06:02] Gramp
    but the person who tricked her
     by calling "center"...
[06:06] Gramp
    was the runner who just batted.
[06:09] Gram
    Is such a cheap trick even legal?
[06:12] Gramp
    I don't like it,
[06:14] Gramp
    but it's a simple error
    that wouldn't have happened
[06:16] Gramp
    if she'd realized it wasn't
    a teammate shouting.
[06:19] Kom
    Damn it. Tamaki used that trick again.
[06:23] Coa
    I left it up to the battery,
    but in the end, it all went wrong.
[06:30] Coa
    That extra run at this stage
    of the game has really hurt us.
SIGN    Nagai
SIGN    Kishimoto
[06:38] Kid
    Well, look at that. I told you so.
[06:40] Kid
    That's what happens when you put
    a complete beginner out on the field.
SIGN    Nijigaoka
SIGN    Mifune
[06:50] Ump
    Play!
[06:54] And
    Snap out of it, Urabe.
[06:56] And
    That last run was a real punch
    to the gut, but it's not over yet!
[07:01] And
    Why are you throwing
    such a halfhearted pitch?!
[07:06] Tam
    Sweet! It got through!
[07:11] Tam
    What?!
[07:14] Ump
    Out!
[07:22] And
    We only gave up one run.
[07:30] Ura
    What the hell were you doing out there?!
[07:32] Ura
    How could you miss such an easy fly?!
[07:35] Ura
    I pushed for you to start because
    I believed in your abilities,
[07:38] Ura
    and you repay me by wrecking this game
    for us by doing everything half-assed?!
[07:43] Sak
    I-It wasn't like that!
[07:45] Sak
    I went for it, but then,
    someone yelled "center"...
[07:48] Fuj
    Cool it, Urabe!
[07:50] Ura
    Stop making excuses!
[07:52] Ura
    Anyone can tell by just looking at you
    that you're not giving your best out there!
[07:55] Ura
    You're holding back cause you feel bad for
    Nagai or something like that, aren't you?!
SIGN    Takahashi
[08:02] Ura
    If you take someone's spot,
[08:04] Ura
    it's your responsibility to play
    at least as well as they would have!
[08:08] Ura
    You owe it to the player whose spot
    you took to give it all you've got!
[08:14] Ura
    Shigeno and Satou are
    giving everything out there!
[08:17] Ura
    There's nothing worse than a talented player
    refusing to live up to their potential!
[08:24] And
    That's enough, Urabe.
[08:26] Ura
    Damn it!
[08:30] Hik
    I think the person who shouted
    "center" was on the other team.
[08:34] Hik
    I'll go tell him they tricked you,
    and it wasn't because of a lack of effort.
[08:38] Sak
    No. It's fine.
[08:41] Both
    Huh?
[08:44] Ann
    Bottom of the sixth.
[08:46] Ann
    Dolphins at the plate.
[08:48] Ann
    Batting eighth, second
    baseman, Katsumata-kun.
[09:01] Ump
    Out.
[09:04] Kom
    That insurance run we got
    has made all the difference.
[09:09] Kom
    If we hadn't scored when
    Tamaki was at the plate as cleanup,
[09:13] Kom
    our ace up there on the mound
    would be down in the dumps right now.
[09:18] Tam
    One down, one down!
[09:20] Ann
    Batting ninth, right fielder,
[09:22] Ann
    Sakura-san.
[09:24] (Flashback) Ura
    I need to win two more games
    so we can play the Touto Boys!
[09:28] (Flashback) Ura
    And I can't do it without you guys helping me.
[09:46] Ump
    Strike!
[09:48] Sak
    I wasn't taking this seriously.
[09:50] Sak
    Please don't pick me.
[09:54] (Flashback) Coa
    Batting ninth, right field, Sakura.
[09:57] (Flashback) Nag
    I've... been benched?
[09:59] Sak
    Urabe-kun was right.
[10:02] Sak
    I was feeling guilty about
    what happened to Nagai-kun.
[10:06] (Flashback) Ura
    Put Sakura into the starting
    lineup as an outfielder.
[10:09] (Flashback) Ura
    I think she should be near the
    top of the batting order as well.
[10:12] Sak
    Urabe-kun really believed in my abilities
    and stuck his neck out for me,
[10:17] Sak
    and yet, I completely
    disregarded his feelings.
[10:21] Sak
    No...
[10:23] Sak
    I disregarded everyone's feelings when
    they've all been trying so hard to win.
[10:32] Sak
    I...
[10:34] Sak
    I only cared about myself!
[10:40] Hik
    She did it!
[10:41] Hik
    Keep running, Mutsuko-chan!
[10:47] Dai
    She's fast!
[10:49] Dai
    I didn't realize she could run that fast!
[10:54] Kis
    All right! A triple!
[10:56] Fuj
    She broke his no-hit, no-run game!
[10:59] Ari
    Nice batting, Sakura!
[11:06] Ann
    Batting first, shortstop, Kimura-kun.
[11:10] Dai
    That's right. This is where
    we start to fight back!
[11:14] Ump
    Play.
[11:16] And
    To think Sakura would be the first to
    hit that slow ball to the opposite side...
[11:21] Ura
    See? I told you she had skills.
[11:25] Ura
    We're three runs behind. All we can do
    is hit and hope a chance comes our way.
[11:30] Kom
    We're three runs ahead.
[11:32] Kom
    You can let the runner on third score,
    but make sure you secure an out.
[11:36] Txt
    Shortstop
SIGN    Kimura
[11:39] Tas
    This is his third time up.
    He should have got his eye in by now.
[11:44] Tas
    Not to mention...
[11:45] Kim
    If the fielders drop their center of gravity
    during his windup, it's a fastball.
[11:50] Kim
    If they don't...
[11:51] Kim
    ...it's a slow ball!
[11:54] Hik
    Yeah!
[11:55] Fuj
    All right!
[11:56] Fuj
    It found the gap!
[12:00] Fuj
    Awesome! We clawed back a run. 3-1!
[12:04] Gra
    Great!
[12:09] Fuj
    Kimura got a clean hit there.
[12:12] Tas
    Yeah, at this stage, Daigo's way of telling
    which pitch is coming is really paying off!
[12:17] Ann
    Batting second, left fielder, Shigeno-kun.
[12:21] Ump
    Play!
[12:22] Ura
    Keep us running, Shigeno!
SIGN    Nijigaoka
SIGN    Mifune
[12:37] Dai
    To be totally honest, they got that last run
    because my catching went to pot.
[12:45] ---
    Strike.
[12:48] Hik
    Daigo-kun! You can do it!
[12:49] Dai
    Two more runs.
[12:50] Dai
    If I keep us alive long enough for
    Hikaru to get to the plate again...
[12:55] Dai
    The best way to get myself on base is...
[13:00] Dai
    There!
[13:02] Dai
    I have to aim at the least-defended place
    during their Eephus shift!
[13:09] Tas
    A push bunt!
[13:18] Ump
    Safe!
[13:19] Fuj
    All right!
[13:20] Hik
    Nice bunt!
[13:21] Ari
    One out, runners on first and second!
[13:23] Tam
    Damn it.
[13:26] Kom
    They've discovered the Eephus
    shift's biggest weak spot.
[13:30] Tas
    Most people in that situation would have
    wanted to swing big, so well done, Daigo.
[13:35] Fuj
    Yeah. It's also not easy to get a solid
    bunt like that from a ball that slow.
[13:40] Mut
    Nah, Shigeno-kun's been practicing his
    bunts after reviewing the first-round game.
[13:47] Mut
    I think he was confident he could do it.
[13:50] Eik
    Well done!
[13:51] Eik
    Nice aim, Daigo!
[13:53] Dai
    Huh?
[13:54] Eig
    Oh, fiddlesticks!
[13:56] Dai
    Oh, Gramps! Grandma!
[13:58] Dai
    You've been here watching?
[14:00] Momo
    It's no good hiding your face now.
[14:04] Dai
    Why are you all the way over there?
[14:08] Ann
    Batting third, pitcher, Urabe-kun.
[14:12] Tas
    Watch the fielders and
    if it's a slow ball, run.
[14:16] Kom
    Their batters are gaining in confidence.
[14:20] Kom
    Have they figured out
    which pitch is coming?
[14:23] Kom
    No, if they had, the runner on first
    would've started running much earlier.
[14:32] Ump
    Strike!
[14:35] Kis
    All right! A perfect double steal!
[14:39] Kom
    Time out!
[14:40] Tas
    All right, one more hit and we're tied.
[14:43] Fuj
    So, Tashiro, why didn't you get Kimura
    to steal when Daigo was batting?
[14:50] Tas
    I didn't want the other team to realize
[14:52] Tas
    that we'd figured out their pitching
    pattern by stealing bases so easily.
[14:56] Tas
    I was waiting for a real opportunity
    like this one to come along.
[14:59] Fuj
    Seriously?!
[15:01] Fuj
    Wow. You're like a real strategist.
[15:03] Tas
    I bet they'll try something
    to counter us now.
[15:07] Tam
    What?
[15:08] Tam
    They know what type of pitch is coming?
[15:10] Kom
    Yeah, the runners are looking at the
    fielders to decide whether to steal or not.
[15:15] Guy
    Huh?
[15:16] Kom
    You guys are setting yourselves
    for the fastball too early.
[15:21] Kom
    Use your slow-ball stance
    until the very last moment.
[15:24] All
    Yes, sir!
[15:26] Kom
    And you two in the battery: our
    opponent's getting used to your slow balls.
[15:30] Kom
    Use them as setup pitches,
    and finish them off with fastballs.
[15:33] Tam
    Yes, sir.
[15:37] Tam
    Manager?
[15:39] Tam
    One hit and they're tied, and they have
    the meat of the order coming up.
[15:42] Tam
    Is this really enough?
[15:45] Kom
    What are you trying to say?
[15:47] Tam
    Can't I use the secret weapon?
[15:55] Tam
    We're in a corner here. They're used
    to our slow balls and half-speed balls.
[15:59] Tam
    If we don't do more, we risk losing.
[16:02] Tam
    Please let me use the secret weapon!
[16:15] Tas
    One hit and we're tied.
     I'm counting on you, Urabe.
[16:19] Ump
    Play.
[16:24] Ump
    Ball.
[16:36] Fuj
    Ack! So close!
[16:40] (Flashback) Kom
    Definitely not! Don't forget
    about your hip injury!
[16:44] (Flashback) Kom
    We got this far after switching to this
    pitching style so it can heal properly.
[16:50] (Flashback) Kom
    If you pitch in a way that puts strain on
    your hip, we'll be back to square one.
[16:55] (Flashback) Kom
    You may be tall, but the muscles holding
    your body up are still that of a kid.
[17:01] (Flashback) Kom
    Think about your future baseball career.
[17:04] Tam
    His timing's getting better.
[17:06] Tam
    If I get the location wrong, he'll hit it.
[17:11] Ump
    Ball!
[17:17] Ump
    Ball!
[17:22] Ump
    Ball! Ball four!
[17:25] Tas
    All right! Bases loaded!
[17:27] Fuj
    Now, it's between him and Satou!
[17:29] Mut
    Good luck, Hikaru-kun!
[17:31] Ann
    Batting fourth, center fielder, Satou-kun.
[17:37] Ump
    Ball!
[17:39] Ump
    Ball!
[17:41] Ump
    Three balls. No strikes!
[17:45] Fuj
    He might force in the runner here!
[17:46] Fuj
    Stay sharp!
[17:51] Kom
    Tamaki!
[17:53] Kom
    Only for this inning!
[17:55] Kom
    I'm only allowing you to do it this inning!
[17:57] Kom
    Crush this cleanup!
[18:01] Dai
    "Allowing"?
[18:03] Dai
    What does he mean by that?
[18:05] Ura
    Don't tell me he has
    something else up his sleeve.
[18:09] Tam
    Thank you... Manager...
[18:13] Tam
    If I can use this...
[18:16] Tam
    I will definitely win this game!
[18:24] Ump
    Strike!
[18:27] Fuj
    You've gotta be kidding me...
[18:30] Fuj
    Are you telling me he's had a pitch
    like that in reserve all this time?!
[18:35] Dai
    Why has he waited till
    now to throw that pitch?
[18:40] Kom
    Tamaki's max speed is
    115 kilometers per hour.
[18:43] Kom
    The only grade schoolers who can
    hit it are Touto Boys' players.
[18:48] Tam
    If I think about the future,
[18:51] Tam
    I can understand the need to hold back now.
[18:55] Tam
    I don't like being underhanded, but in order
    to win, I'll do whatever it takes.
[19:00] Tam
    But all this time, I've wanted to steamroll
    our opponents with my true strength!
[19:06] Tam
    That's what I'll do to
    this batter, and then...
[19:15] Kom
    No way...
[19:27] Fuj
    It's outta here!
[19:29] Fuj
    We've taken the lead with a grand slam!
[19:32] Ura
    Is this guy for real?
[19:34] Dai
    Amazing! That was amazing, Hikaru!
[19:37] Dai
    You're a baseball genius!
[19:40] Hik
    Oh, come on, don't exaggerate.
[19:42] Dai
    No, I mean it.
[19:45] Hik
    It's just that, in Gunma,
[19:47] Hik
    the only way I could practice was
    to hit fastballs at the batting center.
[19:54] Hik
    Maybe I timed that fastball because it was
    randomly like the ones I'm used to hitting.
[20:00] Kom
    Don't worry about it.
    That was just a bad match-up.
[20:05] Kom
    Chin up. It's not over yet.
[20:10] Tam
    Yes, sir.
SIGN    Nijigaoka
SIGN    Mifune
[20:34] Ump
    Strike! Batter out!
SIGN    Nijigaoka
SIGN    Mifune
[20:38] Ump
    That's game.
[20:47] Ump
    Bow!
[20:48] All
    Thank you!
[20:52] Kom
    That was a nice game, Tashiro-kun.
[20:54] Kom
    Thank you.
[20:56] Tas
    No, the honor was all ours.
[20:58] Tas
    Thank you very much.
[20:59] Kom
    Good luck in your next game.
[21:02] Dai
    Um, Mr. Manager?
[21:05] Kom
    What is it?
[21:06] Dai
    How come your pitcher didn't pitch
    seriously until the very end?
[21:13] Kom
    He wasn't holding back,
    if that's what you're thinking.
[21:17] Kom
    It's just...
[21:18] Tam
    Manager, let me tell them.
[21:23] Tam
    I've got a hip injury.
[21:26] Tam
    Coach and I decided on that pitching style
    so I don't put unnecessary strain on it
[21:31] Tam
    until it's fully healed.
[21:34] Tam
    Since I can't pitch at full speed,
[21:37] Tam
    I've done whatever it takes to win.
[21:40] Tam
    Sorry about earlier.
[21:41] Mut
    Huh?
[21:43] Mut
    No, that was...
[21:46] Tam
    However, that self-imposed
    ban was lifted in the sixth.
[21:50] Tam
    Since that ball was hit all the way
    to the stands, I've got no regrets.
[21:55] Hik
    Right.
[21:59] Hik
    Wait!
[22:02] Hik
    When your injury's healed up,
     let's play again for real!
[22:07] Tam
    Sure.
[22:08] Tam
    I definitely won't lose a rematch.
[22:11] Dai
    Neither will we.
[22:12] Ura
    It's a promise, then!
[22:21] Dai
    Let's play each other again someday!
[24:00] Dai
    In the third-round match, Nagai
    replaces Sakura in the starting lineup.
[24:04] Dai
    He's really fired up!
[24:06] Dai
    I can't lag behind, either!
[24:08] Dai
    Let's do this, Hikaru! Let's win this one,
     too, and advance to the quarterfinals!
[24:13] Dai
    Then, we'll finally get to
    see the monstrous team
[24:17] Dai
    known as the Touto Boys,
    that Urabe wants to beat.
SIGN    I Don't Want to Lose
[24:20] Dai
    Next time: "I Don't Want to Lose"!
[24:22] Dai
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
