[00:36] Dai
    All right, let's go!
SIGN    Girl Power, Baseball-Style
[02:15] Mut
    Oh, wow! It's a proper baseball field!
[02:20] Kan
    We're playing in a place this fancy?
[02:22] Yayo
    Fancy? This is a regular city baseball field.
[02:25] Tao
    Is this your first real game, Kandori?
[02:29] Ani
    What're y'all gettin' so keyed up 'bout?
[02:32] Chi
    I guess it's been half a year
    since their last game.
[02:36] Dai
    Yeah.
[02:38] Dai
    We've been counting down the days till
    we could put these uniforms on again.
[02:46] Dai
    They look good on you first-years, too.
[02:52] Nis
    Wish I could say the same
    about the number on my back...
[02:55] Yam
    I'm the only one who looks
    out of place in this thing.
[03:03] Ump
    Captains.
[03:04] Dai
    Yes!
[03:07] Ump
    Rock, paper, scissors.
    Winner chooses who bats first.
[03:09] Har
    Gotcha.
[03:10] Dai
    I'll win this and choose to bat second!
[03:12] Har
    Rock, paper...
[03:13] Both
    ...scissors!
[03:16] Dai
    Aw, shoot.
[03:16] Har
    We'd like to bat second.
[03:20] Ump
    Each team gets ten minutes'
    fielding practice.
[03:23] Both
    Yes, sir!
[03:25] Txt
    Fuurin
    Academy
[03:25] Txt
    Itsuki
[03:33] Ani
    We knew their pitcher was good,
    but their defense is tight, too.
[03:36] Tao
    Looks like they won't give us any freebies.
[03:40] Dai
    Third!
[03:50] Yok
    Is this a joke? Their team's a bunch of girls!
[03:54] Har
    Four... Five... I count six of 'em.
[03:57] Yok
    Hey, Kobashi, you scouted these guys.
    Why didn't you tell us?
[04:01] Kob
    Well...
[04:02] Mur
    I told him not to.
[04:06] Mur
    If you'd known, you wouldn't have
    taken them or your game prep seriously.
[04:10] Mur
    That's why I made him tell you
    only what you needed to know.
[04:18] Dai
    This is our first real game, but if you
    treat it like a scrimmage, we'll be fine.
[04:24] Dai
    Just keep you cool and
    play your natural game.
[04:29] Dai
    Hopefully, we'll win and
    be back here tomorrow!
[04:42] All
    Let's have a good game!
[04:57] Yok
    You serious, Coach?
[05:00] Yok
    Putting me in as starting
    pitcher in this game?
[05:04] Yok
    Against girls, our second-year backup
    would've been more than enough!
[05:21] Ann
    Top of the first inning.
[05:23] Ann
    Batting first for Fuurin Academy:
    center field, Fujii-san.
[05:27] Chi
    Nice to meet you.
[05:38] Yok
    A bow?
[05:41] Yok
    She's so polite!
[05:45] Dai
    All right, let's do this!
[05:50] All
    Keep your eye on the ball!
[05:52] Yok
    Nice to meet you, too!
[06:02] Dai
    Nice! Run!
[06:10] Ump
    Safe!
[06:16] Mur
    That idiot. I knew this would happen.
[06:20] Mur
    Yokouchi. Take them seriously.
    Stop fooling around.
[06:25] Yok
    Yeah, yeah.
[06:27] Dai
    Nice, Chisato!
[06:28] Ani
    All right! No outs, runner on first!
[06:32] Ann
    Batting second, shortstop, Sagara-san.
[06:36] Tao
    If this were hardball,
    that would've busted your knee.
[06:39] Yok
    What was that? I was being nice.
[06:44] Yok
    Well, all right. Guess I'll just have to show
    you the kinda power a man can generate.
[06:50] Ump
    Play!
[06:50] Dai
    Keep us rolling, Tao!
[06:53] Yok
    I guess I pushed my luck
    with that slow pitch.
[06:57] Yok
    Alrighty, then.
[07:00] Yok
    Time to make you tremble!
[07:05] Ump
    Strike!
[07:07] Yoko
    Did ya see that?!
[07:09] Dai
    All right!
[07:13] Chi
    I stole a base.
[07:17] Mur
    That idiot.
[07:18] Mur
    How can you be that oblivious?
[07:21] Mut
    Daigo, did you throw a sign
    to steal a base on his first pitch?
[07:25] Dai
    No, I didn't.
[07:28] Dai
    But from our recon, I knew
    he was no good at the slide step,
[07:34] Dai
    so I gave Chisato the green light to go
    whenever she feels she can make it.
[07:43] Yok
    Oh, so you're the aggressive type, huh?
[07:47] Yok
    Well, whatever. Who cares about runners?
[07:54] Yok
    There's no way a girl can
    hit my pitches, anyway!
[08:02] Yok
    Katahira!
[08:03] Kat
    Yokouchi!
[08:07] Ump
    Safe!
[08:09] Yok
    What? Safe?!
[08:11] Kat
    Yokouchi, back home!
[08:13] Yok
    What?
[08:21] Dai
    Yes!
[08:22] Mut
    We took the lead!
[08:23] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[08:23] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[08:23] Mut
    Itsuki
[08:28] Ani
    Chisato! Nice running!
[08:30] Nis
    Nice hit.
[08:32] Tao
    Wow. Now try sounding less enthusiastic.
[08:35] Tan
    We blitzed them and scored
    a run in the blink of an eye.
[08:39] Tan
    Our starting batters are amazing!
[08:42] Mur
    Hara!
[08:43] Har
    Y-Yes!
[08:44] Har
    T-Timeout.
[08:48] Har
    Hey, pull yourself together, Yokouchi.
[08:50] Har
    Coach is fuming.
[08:52] Yok
    Can it, will ya? I got this.
[08:55] Yok
    Their first two batters were
    just faster than I expected.
[08:59] Yok
    But, well, it's not like girls can
    play anything but small ball.
[09:06] Har
    All the same, just don't let your guard down.
[09:09] Har
    We don't even have one out yet.
[09:13] Yok
    Okay, okay.
[09:23] Mur
    The video we took of them showed me
    they moved well for a girls' team,
[09:29] Mur
    but I didn't expect this.
[09:31] Mur
    They could barely hit what
    the pitching machine fired at them,
[09:36] Mur
    but we only ran recon on them for one day.
[09:41] Ann
    Batting third, second base, Sawa-san.
[09:45] Mur
    They shouldn't be able to hit Yokouchi's pitches
    all that well, but you never know.
[09:48] Ump
    Play!
[09:49] Dai
    Sawa-san, you can hit it!
[10:04] Yok
    You didn't even tie up
    your annoying long hair.
[10:08] Yok
    You should take baseball... more seriously!
[10:12] Ump
    Ball!
[10:15] Ump
    Ball two!
[10:24] Yok
    Dammit!
[10:39] Yay
    Oh dear. Looks like I cleared the fence.
[10:43] All
    Yeah!
[10:46] Mut
    That was amazing! Yayoi's amazing!
[10:49] Mut
    We've already scored three runs!
[10:51] Ani
    Aw, man. It got cleaned up before I got my go.
[10:56] Yam
    Wait a minute.
[10:59] Yam
    What's going on here?
[11:01] Yam
    Don't tell me we could actually win this...
[11:06] Yam
    That means I'd lose my day off tomorrow, too.
[11:11] Yay
    Yay.
[11:12] Tao
    Nice two-run.
[11:14] Tao
    That's our Yayoi!
[11:15] Ani
    Ya total buzzkill.
[11:20] Yay
    Sorry for cleaning up
    and ruining your fun, Anita.
[11:23] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[11:23] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[11:23] Mut
    Itsuki
[11:26] All
    Nice! That was great!
[11:31] Mura
    Timeout!
[11:43] Dai
    Scouting them and practicing with
    the machine are already paying off.
[11:48] Dai
    But I never believed it'd go
    this well from the first inning.
[11:56] Dai
    We've got baseball girls you can rely on!
[12:05] Txt
    Mifune Baseball Park
[12:06] Ann
    Batting fourth, catcher, Kabashima-san.
[12:11] Ani
    All right! Bring it!
[12:19] Ani
    I'm gonna go big, too.
[12:29] Ump
    Strike!
[12:30] Dai
    Those are hard to hit.
[12:33] Mut
    He's started aiming his pitches for real.
[12:40] (Flashback) Mura
    Yokouchi, remember how I stopped you
[12:43] (Flashback) Mura
    from using breaking balls in
    our scrimmage last week?
[12:48] (Flashback) Yok
    Yes, I remember.
[12:50] (Flashback) Mura
    I saw two suspicious
    figures hanging around.
[12:55] (Flashback) Mura
    I figured they were scouting us.
[12:58] (Flashback) Mura
    Why do you think I made you
    hide your true abilities?
[13:02] (Flashback) Mura
    Don't hold back.
[13:06] Mura
    As long as you don't throw weak pitches,
    they won't be able to hit anything.
[13:12] Ani
    It's goin' outside again.
[13:14] Ani
    That's... what I was waitin' for!
[13:21] Ump
    Strike three!
[13:22] Ump
    You're out!
[13:25] Ani
    It...
[13:26] Ani
    It curved?!
[13:28] Dai
    A-A breaking ball?!
[13:31] Ann
    Batting fifth, pitcher, Sakura-san.
[13:35] Mut
    Anita...
[13:37] Ani
    It curved.
[13:38] Ani
    That pitcher ain't all fastballs.
[13:41] Mut
    No way!
[13:48] Ump
    Strike!
[13:49] Nis
    What the... How's it bending that much?!
[13:54] Ump
    Strike two!
[13:59] Ump
    Strike three! You're out!
[14:01] Ann
    Batting sixth, third base, Kandori-san.
[14:06] Ani
    Those were sliders.
    Didn't know he could do that.
[14:12] Ani
    He wasn't throwin' those when we scouted 'em.
[14:14] Ani
    Guess they musta saw us after all.
[14:17] Dai
    I'm glad we got three runs right out the gate.
[14:20] Dai
    With those sliders in the mix,
    we won't be hitting much.
[14:27] Ump
    Strike! You're out!
[14:29] Ump
    Three outs. Change sides!
[14:33] Anit
    Whatever!
[14:36] Anit
    Three runs oughta be enough to win this!
[14:38] Anit
    Let's do this, Senpai!
[14:40] Mut
    Right!
[15:04] Ani
    All right, let's go!
[15:15] Ani
    Nice ball!
[15:21] Ann
    Bottom of the first.
[15:23] Ann
    Batting first for Itsuki Middle School:
    catcher, Hara-kun.
[15:34] Ump
    Play!
[15:35] Dai
    Okay, let's keep it tight!
[15:39] Ani
    It's all on me to hold them off with her pitchin'.
[15:42] Ani
    Time to show off my game callin'!
[15:49] Ump
    Dead ball!
[15:51] Har
    Awesome!
[15:53] Mut
    Huh?
[15:55] Yayo
    Oh, hm. Good start.
[15:57] Tao
    Let's reset and go!
[16:03] Ani
    What the heck?
[16:07] Yok
    Hey, take your cap off when
    you hit someone. Your cap!
[16:11] Yok
    Don't you have any manners?
[16:13] Mut
    I-I'm very sorry!
[16:15] Nis
    Damn, those guys are annoying.
[16:18] Ann
    Batting second, center field, Takei-kun.
[16:22] Ump
    Play!
[16:24] Ani
    She was fine while warmin' up.
[16:27] Ani
    Is she that nervous?
[16:33] Ump
    Ball!
[16:34] Yok
    Yeah, nice!
[16:37] Ump
    Ball two!
[16:39] Ump
    Ball three!
[16:46] Ani
    This is real bad.
[16:48] Ani
    Control was her only strength.
    What's she playin' at?
[16:51] Mut
    What?
[16:52] Mut
    Why isn't it going where I want it to go?
[16:57] Mut
    And why's the plate so freaking far away?!
[17:08] Ump
    Ball! Four balls!
[17:13] Ani
    Timeout!
[17:14] Ump
    Timeout!
[17:19] Ani
    What's goin' on?
    Ya gotta pull yerself together!
[17:22] Ani
    We did so well, buildin' up a three-run lead!
[17:25] Ani
    What is it? Ya nervous or somethin'?
[17:27] Mut
    I-I'm sorry.
[17:29] Mut
    I don't know what's going on, either.
[17:32] Yay
    It's fine. Don't sweat it.
[17:33] Yay
    This is our first real game.
    It's natural to be nervous.
[17:37] Tao
    Stop screeching, Anita.
[17:40] Ani
    What?!
[17:41] Ani
    I-I ain't sayin' it 'cause I'm angry!
[17:44] Ani
    I'm just sayin' we gotta focus!
[17:46] Tan
    Anyway, Sakura, just let them hit!
[17:49] Kan
    Y-Yeah. Trust your teammates behind you.
[17:52] Dai
    May I?
[17:54] Mut
    Daigo?
[18:03] Mut
    Wh-What are you doing?
[18:05] Dai
    Hm... let's see...
[18:07] Dai
    Around here, I guess?
[18:11] Dai
    I'm sure you're nervous too,
[18:13] Dai
    but maybe the issue with your
    control is the height of the mound.
[18:20] Dai
    I checked before the game.
    The mound's a bit taller here.
[18:24] Ani
    What?
[18:26] Dai
    Pitchers are delicate, right?
[18:28] Dai
    The bullpen and the mound
    at our school are quite low,
[18:32] Dai
    since they get used every day.
[18:35] Ump
    Are you done yet? Hurry it up.
[18:37] Dai
    Ah, I'm sorry!
[18:40] Dai
    I've flattened it a bit, so it should
    be closer to what you're used to.
[18:44] Dai
    If it's not enough, dig some more.
[18:46] Mut
    R-Right.
[18:47] Dai
    You might get a warning
    if you overdo it, though.
[18:51] Nis
    Her nerves are getting to her.
[18:52] Nis
    Looks like I might be up on the mound soon.
[18:59] Chi
    Our captain went all the way over
    to the mound from left field.
[19:03] Ann
    Batting third, shortstop, Kobashi-kun.
[19:07] Ump
    Play!
[19:11] Ani
    The height of the mound?
[19:14] Ani
    Are ya serious?
[19:29] Ump
    Strike!
[19:31] Mut
    It went in?
[19:37] Mut
    Seriously?
[19:41] Ump
    Strike!
[19:42] Kat
    She's starting... to get strikes now.
[19:45] Yok
    So what?
[19:46] Yok
    Even if her control is on the money,
    those slow-ass balls are easy to hit.
[19:52] Yok
    See?
[20:00] Ump
    Out!
[20:01] Ump
    Yes, a double play!
[20:09] Dai
    She's finally on top of her nerves.
[20:13] (Flashback) Dai
    Close!
[20:24] (Flashback) Dai
    A bit lower!
[20:28] (Flashback) Gor
    I know, I know!
[20:31] (Flashback) Gor
    Wait a sec!
[20:34] (Flashback) Dai
    Uh, Pop?
[20:39] (Flashback) Gor
    All right. Check this out.
[20:53] (Flashback) Dai
    Nice ball!
[20:55] (Flashback) Dai
    Were you adjusting the mound just now?
[20:59] (Flashback) Gor
    Yeah, it was a bit higher than I'm used to.
[21:04] (Flashback) Gor
    I dug down a bit where I put my pivot leg.
[21:06] (Flashback) Dai
    I see. So even you care about
    little things like that, huh?
[21:13] (Flashback) Gor
    You numbskull.
    Pitchers are delicate creatures!
[21:17] (Flashback) Gor
    Listen, if your pitcher ever has
    difficulties finding their groove,
[21:21] (Flashback) Gor
    try checking things like this, too.
[21:25] Dai
    Thanks, Pop. Your advice really helped.
[21:36] Kob
    I'm sorry. I didn't get a good hit.
[21:39] Mur
    What were you looking at
    when you scouted this team?
[21:43] Mur
    "Fuurin Middle's female pitcher
    only has decent control,
[21:48] Mur
    so it'll be a walk in the park"?
[21:51] Mur
    You didn't even realize
    you didn't get a good hit
[21:53] Mur
    because she made you hit it like that.
[22:07] Ump
    Out!
[22:08] Yok
    Huh?
[22:11] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[22:11] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[22:11] Mut
    Itsuki
[22:11] Ump
    Three outs! Change sides!
[22:13] Dai
    Nice, Mutsuko!
[24:00] Dai
    We can't hit those sliders.
[24:02] Dai
    This is bad.
[24:03] Dai
    We have to come up with a strategy!
[24:05] Tan
    O-Oh, right.
[24:07] Dai
    Tanba-san? Is something wrong?
[24:09] Tan
    When I'm under pressure,
    I fall apart in offense and defense.
[24:14] Tan
    Are we going to lose again because of me?
[24:16] Tan
    Ball, don't come my way!
[24:18] Dai
    Tanba-san, please calm down!
[24:20] Dai
    Next time: "Backup."
SIGN    Backup
[24:22] Tan
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
