[00:02] Dai
    Nice! Run!
[00:10] Yok
    There's no way a girl can
    hit my pitches, anyway!
[00:18] Yok
    Katahira!
[00:20] Kat
    Yokouchi!
[00:24] Ump
    Safe!
[00:25] Pitch
    What? Safe?!
[00:28] Kat
    Yokouchi, back home!
[00:30] Yok
    What?
[00:36] Tao
    Heya.
[00:38] Dai
    Yes!
[00:39] Mut
    We took the lead!

    Itsuki
[01:03] Coa
    As long as you don't throw weak pitches,
    they won't be able to hit anything.
[01:09] Ani
    It's goin' outside again.
[01:11] Ani
    That's... what I was waitin' for!
[01:18] Ump
    Strike three!
[01:19] Ump
    You're out!
[01:21] Ani
    It...
[01:23] Ani
    It curved?!
[01:25] Dai
    A-A breaking ball?!
[01:32] Ump
    Strike!
[01:36] Ump
    Strike three! You're out!
[01:39] Dai
    I'm glad we got three runs right out the gate.
[01:42] Dai
    With those sliders in the mix,
    we won't be hitting much.
[01:49] Ump
    Strike! You're out!
[01:51] Ump
    Three outs. Change sides!
[02:01] Ump
    Dead ball!
[02:04] Mut
    Huh?
[02:09] Ump
    Ball two!
[02:11] Ump
    Ball three!
[02:18] Ump
    Ball! Four balls!
[02:28] Mut
    Wh-What are you doing?
[02:30] Dai
    Around here, I guess?
[02:37] Dai
    I'm sure you're nervous too,
[02:39] Dai
    but maybe the issue with your
    control is the height of the mound.
[02:45] Dai
    I checked before the game.
    The mound's a bit taller here.
[02:50] Ani
    What?
[02:51] Ump
    Play!
[02:56] Ani
    The height of the mound?
[02:59] Ani
    Are ya serious?
[03:13] Ump
    Strike!
[03:16] Mut
    It went in?
[03:21] Mut
    Seriously?
[03:24] Ump
    Strike!
[03:25] Kat
    She's starting... to get strikes now.
[03:30] ---
    All right!
[03:38] Ump
    Out!
[03:39] Mut
    Yes, a double play!

[05:17] Chi
    We did it! We made it through.
[05:20] Dai
    Nice job, Mutsuko.
[05:22] Mut
    Yeah!
[05:23] Nish
    What was that about?
[05:24] Nish
    After that timeout,
    your control suddenly improved.
[05:29] Mut
    It's all thanks to Daigo.
[05:31] Mut
    He suggested adjusting
    the height of the mound.
[05:34] Mut
    That made my pivot leg more stable,
    making it easier to pitch.
[05:37] Nis
    That's all?!
[05:38] Dai
    You say that like it's minor, but the
    pitching motion starts with the pivot leg.
[05:43] Dai
    If something feels off when you pivot,
     it affects everything.
[05:46] Dai
    That's why I give you exercises that'll
    bulk up your core, since your control is weak.
[05:52] Dai
    If you don't even know that much,
    you've still got a long way to go as a pitcher.
[05:56] Nis
    What'd you say?!
[05:57] Chi
    Hey, come on now.
    You're leading off the inning, Nishina-kun.
[06:00] Nis
    Oh, uh, right.
[06:02] Nis
    Thank you.
[06:04] Dai
    Okay, so Kandori and Anita, you two
    are the base coaches this inning.
[06:08] Dai
    Okay!
[06:11] Ura
    Hey, man, I thought we came here to
    check out Itsuki's ace. What's the deal?
[06:16] Andy
    I never imagined Yokouchi would
    give up three runs in the first inning.
[06:20] Ura
    When Sakura started, it didn't look good
    for her, but she pulled herself together.

[06:24] Ura
    Fuurin might be girl-heavy,
    but their defense is solid.
[06:27] Andy
    Yeah. I wonder which way this game will turn.
[06:31] Ann
    Batting seventh, right field, Nishina-kun.
[06:33] Nis
    All right, let's go.
[06:36] Ump
    Play!
[06:38] Guy
    Finally. A guy at the plate.
[06:41] Guy
    A guy who's been pushed down
    the order by girls, though.
[06:45] Guy
    He must be a total loser!
[06:50] Ump
    Strike!
[06:52] Ani
    How the heck did ya know, Shigeno-senpai?
[06:55] Ani
    How could ya have known
    that was the problem?
[06:58] Ani
    Yer advice got Sakura-senpai
    back on her feet again.
[07:02] Ani
    Ya made me look like
    some know-nothin' catcher!
[07:11] Ump
    Strike. You're out!
[07:14] Ann
    Batting eighth, first base, Tanba-kun.
[07:19] Ump
    Strike!
[07:22] Shi
    There are no openings to exploit, huh?
[07:25] Shi
    Our players have never
    even seen a slider like that,
[07:29] Shi
    and his fastballs are so on the money,
    the strikeouts will come thick and fast.
[07:37] Ump
    Strike!
[07:39] Dai
    But... we can't just roll over and give up.
[07:43] Dai
    Going forward, we'll face tons of pitchers
    with breaking balls in their arsenal.
[07:49] Ump
    Strike! You're out!
[07:51] Ann
    Batting ninth, left field, Shigeno-kun.
[07:55] Tan
    No way I'm hitting those.
[07:56] Shi
    Tanba-san.
[07:57] Shi
    Let's pick at least one of
    those pitches to swing at.
[08:01] Shi
    You never know. You might get lucky.
[08:05] Tan
    Oh, y-you're right.
[08:07] Tan
    Sorry.
[08:08] Yay
    Since scoring those runs early on,
    we've had five consecutive strikeouts.
[08:12] Tao
    Huh? Seriously?
[08:14] Mut
    It's worse than that.
    Nobody's even brushed the ball.
[08:19] Yok
    Looks like I don't have to worry
    about giving up any more runs.
[08:22] Yok
    I'll finish this up real quick so we can
    turn the tide and come out on top.
[08:34] Ump
    Strike!
[08:51] Yok
    You can't touch me.
[08:56] Ump
    Strike two!
[08:59] Mura
    I'd say, out of all of their batters,
    this 9th hitter has the sharpest swing.
[09:09] Ump
    Ball!
[09:11] Tao
    Nice, nice! Good eye!
[09:15] Ump
    Ball!
[09:16] Ump
    Two balls, two strikes!
[09:18] Dai
    That was close.
[09:20] Har
    This guy doesn't swing at borderline pitches.
[09:23] Har
    In that case, let's end this with
    a slider into the strike zone.
[09:26] Yok
    Gotcha.
[09:41] Ump
    Foul ball!
[09:44] Mut
    He made contact!
[09:49] Guy
    Seriously?
[09:53] Guy
    Don't look so smug!
[09:57] Ump
    Foul!
[09:59] Tao
    He hit it again!
[10:09] Ump
    Strike!
[10:10] Ump
    You're out!
[10:13] Mut
    So close!
[10:14] Ump
    Three outs!
[10:16] Ump
    Change sides!
[10:20] Mut
    You were so close!
[10:21] Mut
    You really got a read on that slider.
[10:24] Dai
    That last one was dead straight.
[10:26] Dai
    I couldn't react and foul it off.
[10:29] Tan
    I couldn't swing earlier
    because of my nerves.
[10:32] Tan
    Next time, I'll go all-out too, Captain.
[10:35] Dai
    Yes, please do!
[10:37] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[10:37] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[10:37] Mut
    Itsuki
[10:51] Ump
    Out!
[10:53] Tai
    Nice pitching!
[10:54] Nan
    Two outs! Two outs!
[10:56] Ann
    Batting seventh, first base, Katahira-kun.
[10:59] Kat
    Let's go!
[11:01] Ani
    This team don't know how to bat.
[11:04] Ani
    They're swingin' at all
    her sliders and sinkers.
[11:12] Kan
    Here it comes!
[11:22] Ump
    Out!
[11:25] Guys
    Seriously?
[11:26] Guys
    The hell?! That arm is nuts!
[11:27] Guys
    That was scary fast!
[11:31] Coach
    I told my guys to go after the breaking balls,
    but her pitches are clean and targeted.
[11:37] Coach
    Getting hits against
    this team won't be easy.
[11:40] Coach
    Which means we need at least
    one run on the board before Fuurin
[11:44] Coach
    gets used to Yokouchi's pitches.
[11:45] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[11:45] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[11:45] Mut
    Itsuki
[11:52] Ani
    They oughta've figured out by now
    that she's got two kindsa pitches.
[11:58] Ani
    They'll pick 'n' choose what to swing at
    when they go thru' the order again.
[12:02] Guy
    Hello.
[12:05] Guy
    Bring it!
[12:06] Mut
    In the first, I gifted them a walk,
    but since then, it's been a no-hit game.
[12:12] Mut
    I was worried my pitching
    wouldn't be good enough...
[12:18] Ump
    Strike!
[12:20] Mut
    ...but maybe it is after all!
[12:26] Mut
    Catcher!
[12:28] Ani
    I got it!
[12:30] Ump
    Out!
[12:32] Guy
    I'm sorry.
[12:33] Guy
    I thought I aimed for the bottom
    of the ball with that swing.
[12:36] Mur
    What did you expect?
[12:38] Mur
    If you hit the bottom
    of a fastball, it pops up.
[12:41] Mur
    They've started throwing fastballs
    the second time down the order.
[12:47] Mur
    Fuurin's battery is pretty slick.
[12:49] Ani
    Nice pitchin'!
[12:51] Ura
    Looks like Sakura's found her groove.
[12:53] Andy
    Yeah. But who knows if she can
    keep this up the whole game.
[13:00] Dai
    Keep it up, Mutsuko.
[13:04] Mut
    First!
[13:05] Mut
    Got it!
[13:13] Ump
    Safe!
[13:14] Guy
    Yeah!
[13:17] Mut
    Don't worry about it!
[13:18] Tan
    I-I'm sorry.
[13:20] Ann
    Batting fourth, pitcher, Yokouchi-kun.
[13:21] Yok
    Yes!
[13:22] Yok
    Okay, bring it!
[13:24] Yok
    Damn...
[13:26] Yok
    I can't let myself be beaten by a girl,
    even if she is kinda cute!
[13:38] Tao
    Second!
[13:48] Dai
    Tanba-san...
[14:02] Tsu
    Tanba-san!
[14:04] Tsu
    Hello? Tanba-san!
[14:05] Tsu
    Tanba-senpai!
[14:08] Tsu
    Are you all right?
[14:10] Tan
    I-I'm sorry.
[14:11] Tan
    That double play would've ended the inning.
[14:13] Ani
    What're ya playin' at?
[14:15] Ani
    No more back-to-back errors, y'hear?
[14:18] Dai
    This is bad.
[14:20] Dai
    Tanba-san's worries are coming to pass...
[14:24] Ann
    Batting fifth, third base, Kagaya-kun.
[14:24] Ani
    Let's keep it tight!
[14:27] Guys
    Get 'em!
[14:29] Guys
    Hit it!
[14:33] Kag
    Okay, let's go!
[14:35] Coach
    Looks like their first baseman
    is the weak link in their defence.
[14:39] Coach
    I want runners on second and third at least.
[14:48] Yok
    Aw, rats.
[14:49] Yok
    Did I get too much on it?
[14:52] Ani
    Third!
[14:57] Tan
    It was the final game
    last year's team played in.
[15:00] Tan
    A make-or-break game
    to qualify for Regionals.
[15:04] (Flashback) Guy
    Third!
[15:06] Tan
    All right!
[15:07] Tan
    We win!
[15:09] Tan
    We're finally realizing our dreams
    of making it to Regionals!
[15:28] (Flashback) Dai
    Throwing yips?
[15:30] (Flashback) Tan
    You saw it from the stands too, right?
[15:33] (Flashback) Dai
    Yeah...
[15:35] (Flashback) Tan
    Ever since then, at crunch moments,
    my throwing deserts me.
[15:40] (Flashback) Tan
    I'll be fine in practice, but in a game,
    my body seizes up and I can't throw straight.
[15:47] (Flashback) Tan
    That's why I'm asking you
    to please take me off first.
[15:51] (Flashback) Tan
    I won't lose it for the team
    if I'm in the outfield.
[15:54] (Flashback) Tan
    Please, Shigeno!
[15:56] (Flashback) Dai
    Not happening.
[15:58] (Flashback) Dai
    We'll overcome your yips one throw at a time.
[16:01] (Flashback) Dai
    You can't just try and live with it.
[16:13] Kan
    Ow, ow, ow.
[16:20] (Flashback) Dai
    It's all right.
[16:23] (Flashback) Dai
    Throwing errors aren't a big deal.
[16:28] (Flashback) Dai
    We'll back you up as much as we can.
[16:33] Guys
    For real?
[16:34] Guys
    That left fielder got there fast!
[16:47] Ump
    Out!
[16:51] Tao
    Yes, yes, yes!
[16:52] Mut
    Nice one, Daigo!
[16:54] Tan
    Shigeno...
[16:57] Dai
    Okay, okay!
[16:58] Dai
    That's two outs now! Two outs!
[17:03] Andy
    That throw just now...
[17:05] Hon
    Shigeno's arm has improved a lot.
[17:09] Ann
    Batting sixth, right field, Fujioka-kun.
[17:14] Yok
    Fujioka!
[17:15] Yok
    We've still got a chance!
[17:24] Mut
    Tanba-san!
[17:29] Ump
    Out!
[17:30] Ump
    Three outs!
[17:31] Ump
    Change sides!
[17:33] Dai
    Tanba-san!
[17:35] Dai
    Nice play!
[17:36] Tan
    Yeah!
[17:40] And
    Shigeno's play brought that first
    baseman back from the brink.
[17:43] Ura
    Yeah.
[17:48] (Flashback) Coa
    Foul, foul!
[17:53] Ura
    Stop it.
[17:56] (Flashback) Coa
    Foul.
[17:58] Ura
    Just stop, already!
[17:59] Ura
    Why are you still fighting so hard?!
[18:02] Ura
    We already know they've won!
[18:04] Ura
    Just let the game end already!
[18:06] (Flashback) Coa
    Ball!
[18:07] (Flashback) Coa
    Ball four!
[18:10] Hon
    That side of him hasn't changed one bit.
[18:13] Andi
    Huh?
[18:14] Hon
    You really don't want
    a guy like him as your rival.
[18:19] Andi
    Yeah.
[18:23] Tan
    Here's our chance!
[18:25] Chi
    Go, Shigeno-senpai!
[18:32] Tao
    It's gone!
[18:33] Tao
    Keep going, keep going!
[18:41] Ump
    Safe! Safe!
[18:43] Girls
    All right!
[18:45] Girls
    Not bad, Captain!
[18:59] You
    Th-This can't be happening!
[19:02] You
    We can't lose to a team full of girls!
[19:19] Ump
    Out!
[19:20] Ump
    That's game!
[19:29] Girls
    Awesome!
[19:34] Teach
    I mean, really?
[19:35] Teach
    Why the hell are they winning?
[19:37] Mut
    Itsuki
[19:37] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[19:37] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[19:37] Ura
    They beat Itsuki, who're always in the semis,
    in a called game after six?
[19:42] Andi
    Sakura did pretty well.
[19:44] Andi
    I don't know if she'll be pitching next game,
[19:47] Andi
    but if we're their opponents,
    they won't get such an easy ride.
[19:50] Ura
    You said it.
[19:51] Coa
    Urabe! Andy!
[19:53] Coa
    We're going.
[19:54] Ura
    Yes, sir.
[19:56] Ura
    Who woulda guessed we'd be going up
    against Shigeno and his team here?
[19:59] Andi
    Before that, we have to make it through
    our game. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
[20:04] Ura
    Yeah, yeah, I know.
[20:05] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[20:05] Mut
    Fuurin Academy
[20:05] Mut

    Seiwa
[20:15] Dai
    Urabe and Andy play for Seiwa.
[20:19] Dai
    No surprise that, even as second-years,
    they're pivotal to their team.

    Moriguchi

[20:23] Ani
    Ah, I figured ya'd be up here.
[20:27] Dai
    Huh? What are you two still doing here?
    I said you could go home.
[20:30] Ani
    And why the heck didya do that?
[20:32] Ani
    If ya were plannin' on scoutin' out
    the other teams, you shoulda told us.
[20:36] Ani
    That's jus' selfish, Captain!
[20:38] Mut
    That's right! Really selfish, Captain.
[20:41] Dai
    Oh, uh, I just figured you two would be tired.
[20:44] Txt
    Koutou
[20:44] Txt
    Seiwa
[20:45] Ump
    Play!
[20:46] All
    Let's go!
[20:49] Dai
    Urabe's their ace, but he's on third.
[20:53] Dai
    Their number 11 is their starting pitcher today,
[20:55] Dai
    so there's a high chance Urabe
    will pitch against us tomorrow.
[20:59] Mut
    Doesn't that mean we won't
    get to see him pitch today?
[21:03] Mut
    He's gotten really tall, though.
[21:05] Ani
    What's this? You know this fella?
[21:07] Mut
    Yeah. We used to be teammates
    back in grade school.
[21:12] Ani
    Oh, that reminds me, Shigeno-senpai.
[21:13] Ani
    Who's gonna start for us tomorrow?
[21:16] Dai
    I know it means pitching back-to-back
    games, but Mutsuko's on the mound.
[21:19] Dai
    We only needed seventy pitches today.
[21:21] Dai
    You'll be okay, right?
[21:22] Mut
    Yup! I've got more in the tank.
[21:25] Mut
    And if we win,
[21:26] Mut
    I'll pitch in the semi-final and the final
    the next day, and any game after that!
[21:31] Ani
    Ya ain't allowed to pitch
    twice on the same day.
[21:36] Dai
    Well, we'll worry about day three
    if we make it through tomorrow.
[21:53] Ump
    Strike! You're out!
[21:56] Txt
    Koutou
[21:56] Txt
    Seiwa
[21:56] Ump
    And that's game.
[21:59] Dai
    Ten to two.
[22:00] Dai
    They called it in the fifth.
[22:02] Ani
    Waste o' time.
[22:03] Ani
    It ain't like Seiwa was strong.
[22:05] Ani
    The other team was jus' weak, makin' error
    after error, so we ain't learned a thing.
[22:09] Dai
    No, their opponents were weak, for sure,
    but there's more to it than that.
[22:14] Dai
    Hits
[22:14] Dai
    Steals
[22:14] Dai
    Sacrifices
[22:14] Dai
    Walks
[22:15] Dai
    In just four innings,
[22:17] Dai
    they stole eleven times and sacrificed
    seven times. That's not normal.
[22:21] Mut
    What do you mean?
[22:24] Dai
    Seiwa plays hit-and-run, small ball baseball!
[24:00] Dai
    If we want to beat Seiwa,
    we have to stop them in their tracks.
[24:03] Mut
    I'm not all that good at pickoffs, though...
[24:08] Mut
    That's why we're doing special training.
[24:09] Mut
    We only have one day, but let's give it a go.
[24:12] Mut
    Give it a go, huh?
[24:15] Mut
    This brings back memories of when
    I first started practicing pitching.
SIGN    Mutsuko's Special Training
[24:20] Dai
    Next time: "Mutsuko's Special Training."
[24:22] Mut
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
