    Hit it, Daigo!

    Two outs! Two outs!
[02:17] Dai
    It's been four months since
    I collapsed from overdoing it.
[02:21] Dai
    After that, I reviewed our
    overloaded training regimen,
[02:25] Dai
    talked it over with everyone,
[02:26] Dai
    and bit by bit, got us to a place where we
    could strengthen on a sustainable schedule.
[02:32] Dai
    We also decided against
    putting Sawa-san on the mound,

    and went into the summer tournament
    with the same lineup as in spring.
[02:46] Ump
    Strike!
[02:48] Dai
    Unfortunately, we drew Eihou in
    the first round and bit the dust.
[02:52] Dai
    It was extra sad for Tanba-san because,
    as a third-year, it was his last summer,
[02:56] Dai
    but that's how our tournament ended.
[03:00] Dai
    Of course, it would've
    been nice if we'd won more,
[03:03] Dai
    but our overall goal was to
    make it to regionals next year,
[03:09] Dai
    so it didn't faze us too much.
[03:12] Tao
    One more!
[03:14] Chi
    You got this!
[03:16] Dai
    Now that we're down to eight players,
[03:18] Dai
    we can't compete in official games
    until we get new recruits in the spring.
[03:23] Dai
    Because we're a prep school, Tanba-san didn't
    have entrance exams, so he agreed to help out.
[03:27] Dai
    Right now, we're improving by
    playing scrimmages every weekend
[03:31] Dai
    in preparation for spring.
[03:36] Mut
    Tanba-san!
[03:39] Ump
    Out!
[03:40] Mut
    We did it!
[03:51] Dai
    Our helper got hurt...
[03:54] Dai
    It'll take two months to heal?!
[03:56] Tan
    I'm so sorry.
[03:58] Tan
    I wasn't really able to
    contribute as a player,
[04:01] Tan
    so I wanted to at least be of some
    use to you before I graduate, but...
[04:04] Dai
    No, we're the ones who should be sorry.
[04:08] Dai
    We're really grateful you
    helped us out for this long.
[04:11] Dai
    Thank you so much.
[04:17] Tao
    What are we gonna do, Daigo?
[04:19] Tao
    With eight of us, we can't even play scrimmages
    until new players show up in the spring.
[04:25] Dai
    We'll just have to find someone
    who already goes to this school.
[04:28] Dai
    Do you know anyone?
[04:30] Tao
    'Course I don't. It's fall already,
    for crying out loud.
[04:33] Mut
    And honestly, it's not like
    we can just take anyone.
[04:37] Ani
    Nishina.
[04:39] Ani
    What 'bout yer friends?
[04:41] Ani
    You know. Those four guys
    ya showed up with in April.
[04:45] Nis
    Huh?
[04:46] Nis
    Ain't happening.
[04:48] Nis
    They're in Senior League.
[04:50] Ani
    Yeah, but it's jus' for
    scrimmages on the weekend.
[04:54] Nis
    How dumb are you?
[04:55] Nis
    In Senior League, they have
    practice and games on weekends.
[04:58] Nis
    There's no way they'd have time.
[05:00] Yay
    Man, this is gonna be tough.
[05:03] Chi
    Um, Senpai...
[05:05] Dai
    Yeah?
[05:06] Dai
    My older sister happens to go to this school.
    Maybe we should try asking her?
[05:16] Dai
    I didn't even know Chisato had an older sister,
    let alone that she goes to our school.
[05:21] Dai
    Yeah.
[05:22] Dai
    It was a shock finding out
    Chisato is Coach Fujii's daughter,
[05:28] Dai
    and now we find out her
    sister's the same age as us...
[05:31] Dai
    How many more surprises is the
    Fujii family going to spring on us?
[05:35] Dai
    Yeah, for real.
[05:37] Dai
    Oh, I should've asked if her sister
    also played for Yokohama Little.
[05:42] Dai
    If she did, we might even
    be able to rely on her skills.
[05:45] Mut
    You're right.

    lunch break in the library.

[06:23] Dai
    Y-Yes. We're in a bind because
    we don't have enough players.
[06:27] Dai
    Which means we can't play in any games.
[06:29] Dai
    And Chisato-chan mentioned she
    had an older sister, so that's why...
[06:33] Chiy
    Chisato told you?
[06:35] Chiy
    Ah, now I see.
[06:37] Dai
    Please join.
[06:38] Dai
    It doesn't matter if it's only on a trial basis.
[06:41] Dai
    Just give it a try, yeah?
[06:46] Chiy
    I'm sorry.
[06:48] Chiy
    Unlike my sister,
    I am not the least bit athletic.
[06:53] Both
    She... She's huge!
[07:00] Dai
    B-By the way, which club are you in right now?
[07:05] Chiy
    Why would you even ask that question?
[07:07] Chiy
    Please don't bother me again.
[07:12] Mut
    Talk about unapproachable, huh?
[07:15] Mut
    It looks like she's completely
    on the liberal arts track.
[07:18] Mut
    And if she's not athletic,
    there's nothing we can do.
[07:20] Dai
    She had a nice body.
[07:22] Mut
    What?!
[07:23] Dai
    Such a shame that big frame
    of hers is going to waste.
[07:26] Mut
    Oh, right, that.
[07:28] Dai
    Besides, there's no way Chisato's
    older sister isn't athletic!
[07:32] Dai
    I'm sure she could do it if she tried!
[07:34] Dai
    I'll have to do whatever
    it takes to seduce her!

    Oh, figures.
[07:47] Ani
    Didya jus' say "figures"?
[07:49] Ani
    Yer the one who recommended her.
[07:51] Chi
    Hm, well, somewhere along the line,
    Chiyo turned into a complete homebody.
[07:56] Chi
    When we were little, she used
    to play baseball with Dad and me.
[08:01] Chi
    As she got older, she quit baseball,
[08:04] Chi
    but still did swimming classes
    and went to tennis school.
[08:08] Chi
    That's why I think she's not
    as unathletic as she claims.
[08:11] Kan
    So your sister used to play baseball?
[08:14] Yay
    Why'd she stop?
[08:16] Chi
    Hm, I wonder...
[08:18] Chi
    I never asked.
[08:20] Tao
    You don't really take an

    I thought I told you to stop bothering me.

    Did you go snooping to
    find out I was in the art club?
[08:56] Chiy
    That's really creepy.
[08:58] Dai
    Oh, uh, no. I just checked out every
    liberal arts club until I found you.
[09:02] Dai
    Hey, your painting's really
    good! Is this your hobby?
[09:05] Chiy
    That's none of your business!
[09:08] Chiy
    I don't care what you say,
    I'm not joining the baseball team!
[09:12] Dai
    I'm begging you!
[09:13] Dai
    Please come just one time,
    even if it's only to watch!
[09:17] Dai

    C'mon, dude, no girl on the
    planet likes being called big.
[09:29] Dai
    Nishina!
[09:30] Nis
    They told me to come get you 'cause
    we can't practice without our captain.
[09:34] Nis
    Took me ages to find you.
[09:36] Dai
    Oh, sorry.
[09:38] Nis
    It doesn't matter that it's
    Chisato's sister. Just give it up.
[09:42] Nis
    Besides, there's no way it'll work
    out if you force someone to join.
[09:47] Dai
    B-But...
[09:54] Chiy
    H-He's so handsome!
[09:58] Nis
    Anyway, what are you doing,
    adding more girls to our team?
[10:01] Dai
    I'm desperate because there's nobody else!
[10:05] Dai
    With eight players, we won't be able to play
    anyone until new students join in the spring.
[10:09] Nis
    Oh, about that. I did some
     asking around during lunch.
[10:15] Nis
    Apparently, Chiba's been hung
    out to dry in Senior League,
[10:19] Nis
    so he said he wouldn't mind
    seeing what kinda setup we've got.
[10:25] Dai
    Really?!
[10:29] Dai
    Uh, which one was Chiba again?
[10:35] Chi
    Hey. Is the captain here?
[10:41] Ani
    Our captain ain't here right now.
[10:44] Ani
    But forget that. Who are you?
[10:46] Chi
    Oh, right. You weren't here then,
    so you don't know who I am.
[10:52] Chi
    I'm Chiba Takumi. I was
    playing for Kawasaki Seniors,
[10:55] Chi
    but Nishina told me you didn't have
    enough players, so I'm here now.
[10:59] Chi
    Hope you're grateful.
[11:13] Chi
    Ah, you're home, Chiyo.
[11:15] Chi
    Oh, the bath's free. I'm done.
[11:18] Chiy
    Chisato, you recommended me
    for the baseball team, didn't you?
[11:23] Chi
    Yeah, I did. After all,
    you used to play baseball before.
[11:28] Chi
    And you don't really care about art club
    since you only go once or twice a week.
[11:32] Chi
    So I thought there was
    a chance you might join.
[11:35] Chi
    Was it a bother?
[11:37] Chiy
    Y-You know, you're just so—
[11:39] Chi
    Oh! We were a player short,
[11:42] Chi
    but a first-year just joined,
    so we're okay for now.
[11:46] Chi
    He said he'd join in with practice tomorrow.
[11:49] Chiy
    Whatever.
[11:50] Chiy
    Oh, yeah. There's this handsome
    player with a tan on your team, right?
[11:56] Chi
    You mean Anita?
[11:57] Chiy
    No, that's your tomboy friend!
[12:00] Chiy
    I'm talking about a boy! A boy!
[12:02] Chi
    Oh, you mean Nishina?
[12:04] Chi
    I'm not sure I'd call him handsome, though.
[12:07] Chi
    What about him?
[12:09] Chiy
    O-Oh, nothing.
[12:19] Chiy
    Nishina-kun, huh?
[12:22] (Flashback) Nis
    No girl on the planet likes being called big.
[12:26] Chiy
    Unlike that irritating captain,
[12:30] Chiy
    he was kind and handsome.
[12:35] Chiy
    Anyway, I knew Chisato
    never really understood...
[12:41] Chiy
    ...why I ended up quitting baseball.
[12:46] Chib
    All right, bring it!
[12:58] Chi
    He's good!
[12:59] Ani
    Ya can tell he got in on a baseball ticket.
[13:01] Yay
    We've got ourselves a player.
[13:03] Dai
    All right, we'll do some batting next!
[13:06] Chib
    Got it!
[13:08] Nis
    Chiba, did you improve again?
[13:11] Chib
    You betcha.
[13:12] Nish
    But if you got hung out to dry,
[13:15] Nish
    the overall level in Senior
    League must be crazy high.
[13:18] Chib
    Oh, that? I wasn't benched
    because I couldn't cut it.
[13:23] Nis
    Huh?
[13:24] Chib
    The coach there basically refuses to field
    first-years, however good they are.
[13:30] Chib
    But here, there's no annoying coach,
    the level's not all that high,
[13:34] Chib
    so it looks like I can just have fun.
[13:42] Chib
    Uh, what? I expected Nishina
    to have taken your spot by now.
[13:46] Chib
    Oh well. Feel free to try and
    get me out with your best pitch.
[13:51] Dai
    Wait, where's your helmet?
[13:53] Chib
    Huh?
[13:54] Chib
    I don't need one. I mean, it's a rubber ball.
[13:57] Chib
    I played in Senior League where we used
     leather ones. This is like playing house.
[14:04] Ani
    Amazin' how much half a year
    of Senior League can bloat an ego.
[14:08] Tao
    Kids that age are like that.
[14:11] Mut
    This first-year's just
    as arrogant as last time.
[14:15] Mut
    I don't really want him on the team.
[14:21] Chib
    H-Huh. Looks like it curves
    more than the last time I saw it.
[14:25] Dai
    Timeout.
[14:27] Dai
    You can't do that, Mutsuko. You're meant to let
    him hit it, not throw breaking balls at him.
[14:33] Mut
    But he said to give him my best pitch.
[14:36] Mut
    He's looking down on me.
[14:38] Dai
    You can't let him provoke you!
[14:40] Dai
    Officially, we're putting
    him through his paces,
[14:43] Dai
    but in reality, we just want him to
    feel good so he joins the team for sure.
[14:48] Mut
    Oh, right.
[14:51] Ani
    What're they whisperin' 'bout?
[14:53] Tao
    Probably telling her to humor him.
[14:55] Mut
    Fine, I'll let him hit it. Happy?!
[15:03] Dai
    Well, as you all saw,
    he definitely doesn't lack for skill,
[15:10] Dai
    so starting today, Chiba-kun
    will officially be joining the team.
[15:15] Chib
    I came here from the boring
    sausage fest that was Senior
[15:18] Chib
    because I was told this
    team was a babe paradise.
[15:22] Chib
    So I look forward to you all
    cheering and swooning for me.
[15:25] Kan
    That's sexual harassment!
[15:26] Ani
    He called us babes.
[15:27] Tao
    Oh, gosh, were you talking about me?
[15:30] Mut
    He totally looks down on all of us.
[15:33] Chib
    So, captain, what's my position?
[15:36] Dai
    Oh, right. First's open at the moment,
[15:39] Dai
    but let's keep the long-term
    picture in mind and think it over.
[15:42] Dai
    After all, you only just joined today.
[15:44] Chib
    What is there to think about?
[15:46] Chib
    You just saw how good I am.
[15:49] Chib
    Yo, who's the shortstop?
[15:51] Tao
    I am. Why?
[15:53] Chib
    Oh, it's you?
[15:54] Chib
    I remember seeing you in the spring.
[15:57] Chib
    I remember thinking you were good for a girl.
[16:00] Chib
    Emphasis on "for a girl."
[16:05] Nis
    H-Hey now, what's got into you, Chiba?
[16:07] Nis
    I thought you said you
    just wanted to have fun.
[16:09] Chb
    You saw how good my
    defense was earlier, right?
[16:12] Chb
    So you get it, don't you?
[16:14] Chb
    You will let me play shortstop, won't you?
[16:27] Tao
    Dream on!
[16:29] Tao
    Positions are something you take. You don't
    get them without a fight, mushroom head!
[16:34] Tao
    Take it from me if you can, mush for brains!

[18:38] Chib
    I'm tired.
[18:39] Chib
    Besides, my body doesn't function this early.
[18:43] Chib
    And the leg she kicked earlier
    for no reason hurts too.
[18:47] Ani
    'Cause you were peepin' on us!
[18:49] Chib
    And anyway, we can just do
    this kind of training at home.
[18:53] Chib
    Let's break out the balls.
[18:55] Chib
    This is just like the
    training they did at Senior.
[18:57] Tao
    Quit your whining!
[18:59] Tao
    We've been doing this routine forever.
[19:02] Tao
    This doesn't even count as a warm-up for us.
[19:06] Tao
    If you've got a problem, quit.
[19:11] Dai
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, hold up!
[19:12] Dai
    Come on, it's only Chiba-kun's
    second day. He's just not used to it yet.
[19:17] Dai
    And it looks like his leg hurts.
[19:19] Dai
    Anyway, that's the warm-up done!
[19:21] Dai
    Let's do some fly ball practice!
[19:29] Dai
    Next, shortstop!
[19:38] Chib
    Bring it!
[19:40] Tao
    This is nothing!
[19:42] Yay
    They're both good.
[19:45] Chi
    It's hard to say who's better.

[19:48] Mut
    Hey, Daigo.
[19:50] Mut
    About Chiba-kun...
[19:53] Mut
    I know we're in a weak position, but aren't
    you letting him get away with too much?
[19:56] Dai
    What?
[19:57] Mut
    I mean, it's true he's plugging a gap,
     and I'm grateful he's doing that...
[20:02] Mut
    But when he disrupts the team's energy like
    he did this morning, you have to tell him off.
[20:06] Mut
    Tao stepped in this morning,
[20:09] Mut
    but it should really be
    the captain who does it.
[20:12] Mut
    Basically, he thinks we're a joke!
[20:16] Dai
    Yeah, but if I annoy him so much he quits
    right after joining, that wouldn't be good.
[20:22] Dai
    He still has his pride from Senior,
[20:24] Dai
    so we should just let that
    kind of statement slide.
[20:27] Mut
    What?!
[20:29] Dai
    Besides, thanks to Chiba-kun's
    provocative style,
[20:34] Dai
    Tao's more motivated than ever.
[20:38] Dai
    It's good to have some stimulation, you know?
[20:40] Dai
    Harmony alone does not a team make.
[20:45] Yam
    Shigeno-kun.
[20:47] Dai
    Y-Yamaguchi-sensei.
[20:49] Yam
    I forgot to give you this.
[20:52] Dai
    Oh, the list of practice
    games I asked you about!
[20:55] Dai
    Thank you! So how did it go?
[20:59] Yam
    It was a bust, to be honest. Lots of refusals.
[21:02] Dai
    Oh, I see.
[21:04] Dai
    I guess that makes sense.
[21:05] Dai
    I limited it to strong schools this time,
    knowing they'd probably say no.
[21:10] Yam
    But there was one school
    that agreed to a game.

[21:21] Ani
    That mushroom pisses me off so much!
[21:24] Chi
    You're holding a grudge, huh?
[21:26] Ani
    'Course I am!
[21:27] Ani
    He almost saw us changin'!
[21:30] Ani
    I bet he opened the door knowin' the
    occupied sign meant we were in there.
[21:34] Ani
    We seriously need to get some more players.
[21:37] Ani
    If only we had someone else, we wouldn't
    hafta suck up to that sucker.
[21:43] Chi
    Chiyo?
[21:45] Ani
    Huh? That's yer sister?
[21:47] Chi
    Chiyo!
[21:49] Chi
    What are you doing here?
    This is the first-years' floor.
[21:52] Chiy
    Oh, uh, nothing. I was just passing through.
[21:57] Chi
    Huh? Chiyo!
[22:00] Nis
    Hey, over here!
[22:03] Nis
    Got it! Watch this!
[22:05] Frie
    Nice shot!
[22:06] Chi
    Oh, I get it now.
[22:08] Chi
    Chiyo likes Nishina.
[22:12] Chi
    Tick.
[22:13] Chi
    Tick.
[22:14] Chi
    Tick.
[22:16] Chi
    Ding!
[22:17] Chi
    Anita, I just had a great idea!
[22:20] Ani
    Huh?
[22:21] Chi
    Chiyo might just join the
    baseball team, after all.
[24:00] Chi
    Ah, what a surprise! My sister
    might be joining the baseball team!
[24:04] Chi
    What will you do, Nishina?
[24:05] Nis
    It has nothing to do with me.
[24:07] Nis
    Besides, we have to focus on our practice
    game with the powerhouse known as Tsujidou.
[24:11] Chi
    Oh, wow! My sister's even
    going to play in a game!
[24:15] Chi
    Maybe she'll try hard for a certain someone!
[24:17] Nis
    F-For real? Who's the certain someone?
SIGN    Lock On!
[24:20] Chi
    Next time: "Lock On!"
[24:22] Nis
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
