[00:01] Ani
    Please, Sakura-senpai.
[00:02] Ani
    Don't let this game be as far as we get.
[00:05] Ump
    Ball!
[00:06] Ani
    Let's try to paint the black.
[00:13] Ump
    Ball!
[00:15] Ump
    Ball!
[00:18] Ump
    Ball!
[00:20] Ump
    Ball four!
[00:26] Mut
    Huh?
[00:30] Ani
    Seriously?!
[00:32] Ani
    That's a crazy long lead!
[00:34] Tai
    Wow. They're really messing with us.
[00:37] Mut
    He told me not to attempt any pickoffs...
[00:40] Mut
    But if we get an out from it...
    it'd be silly not to, right?!
[00:45] Ump
    Safe!
[00:47] Mut
    He ain't out?
[00:52] Ump
    Ball.
[00:54] Ump
    Ball!
[00:56] Ump
    Ball!
[00:58] Ump
    Ball four!
[01:02] Dai
    This is bad.
[01:03] Dai
    We're already in a tight spot.
[01:05] Ani
    Don't fall to pieces, Senpai!
[01:08] Ani
    Ya gotta know ya can't just
    worry 'bout 'em stealin'!
[01:14] Ump
    Ball!
[01:15] Ump
    Ball four!
[01:20] Dai
    Anita!
[01:22] Dai
    Let's step out and take a—
[01:26] Ump
    Play!
[01:26] ---
    Time—
[01:28] Yay
    Oh boy.
[01:31] Mut
    I need to throw a strike...
[01:40] Coa
    Go!
[01:45] Coa
    What?!
[01:46] Mor
    For real?!
[01:53] Ump
    Safe!
[01:55] Tan
    Second!
[01:56] Ani
    I don't think so!
[01:58] Tan
    All right! He's cornered!
[02:02] Dai
    Back home!
[02:08] Ump
    Safe!
[02:13] Nis
    What the hell was that play earlier?!
[02:17] Nis
    You totally underestimated
    my throw back to home!
[02:19] Nis
    And what's more, half of
    Sakura-senpai's walks were your fault!
[02:24] Nis
    You got her to paint the
    corners from the first ball,
[02:26] Nis
    before she had time to find her groove.
[02:30] Nis
    Everyone could see the batters
    were watching her pitches,
[02:33] Nis
    so you should've got her to
    throw strikes and cornered 'em.
[02:36] Nis
    How stupid are you?!
[02:38] Nis
    You made life seriously
    tough for your pitcher.
SIGN    No Freakin' Way!

    Play!
[04:23] Ani
    I'm gonna redeem myself with the bat
    an' make up for givin' away runs.
[04:29] Andy
    Their 3-hole got a read on
    Urabe's curveball after one swing.
[04:34] Andy
    We might have two outs, but don't go
    underestimating their cleanup, Urabe.
[04:46] Kan
    Nice swing!
[04:47] Chi
    You can do it!
[04:49] Dai
    You can hit that pitch!
[04:50] Tao
    Oh, that reminds me, Chisato.
[04:53] Chi
    Huh?
[04:54] Girl
    Back when you guys joined,
[04:56] Girl
    didn't Anita say she was the cleanup hitter
[04:59] Girl
    and starting catcher for Yokohama Little?
[05:03] Chi
    Right.
[05:04] Girl
    But that's not true, is it?
[05:11] Ump
    Ball!
[05:14] Chi
    Well, maybe not completely true,
    but it's not untrue, either.
[05:17] Chi
    She wore the number five,
    and was our starting catcher in games.
[05:21] Chi
    That is, up until the spring
    tournament in sixth grade.
[05:27] Ani
    I hafta do somethin'.
[05:29] Ani
    I've been entrusted with
    cleanup duties for this team.
[05:32] Ani
    It ain't like back then,
    when I wasn't even given a chance to bat!
[05:37] (Flashback) Ani
    N-Number 12? I thought I was gonna be number 2.
[05:42] (Flashback) Coa
    For the summer tournament,
    Ishizaka will wear the mask.
[05:47] (Flashback) Coa
    You must've noticed how much
    he's improved recently.
[05:52] (Flashback) Coa
    But you're our backup catcher and pinch hitter,
    so I still need you game-ready.
[06:03] (Flashback) Ani
    But that... That ain't fair!
[06:08] Ump
    Strike!
[06:11] Chi
    At the final tournament, Anita's spot was
    taken by her rival from the same grade.
[06:18] Chi
    When she joined the team,
    she towered over the boys,
[06:21] Chi
    with power and speed to match,
[06:23] Chi
    but by sixth grade,
    the boys had caught up with her.
[06:28] Chi
    Her last year at Little was spent on the bench,
[06:31] Chi
    and she didn't get the chance
    to showcase her skills.
[06:35] Chi
    She was pretty down about it.
[06:42] (Flashback) Ani
    Huh?
[06:43] (Flashback) Ani
    Baseball at Fuurin Middle?
[06:46] (Flashback) Chi
    Yeah! Our seniors, Sawa-san
    and Sagara-san, are there too.
[06:50] (Flashback) Chi
    Plus, I heard they're short
    on players right now.
[06:53] (Flashback) Chi
    So let's go to Fuurin Middle together.
[06:56] (Flashback) Ani
    I'm done with baseball.
[06:59] (Flashback) Chi
    Huh?
[07:01] (Flashback) Ani
    It's a boys' sport.
[07:03] (Flashback) Ani
    Don't matter how hard a girl tries,
    she's always gonna lose out to a boy.
[07:06] (Flashback) Ani
    Total waste o' time.
[07:09] (Flashback) Ani
    I'm gonna play some other sport.
    One where they separate girls and boys.
[07:22] (Flashback) Chi
    I don't believe you, Anita!
[07:24] (Flashback) Chi
    You're done with baseball?
[07:26] (Flashback) Chi
    You're quitting baseball just
    because a guy beat you one time?
[07:30] (Flashback) Ani
    One time?!
[07:32] (Flashback) Ani
    S'easy for you to say, Chisato!
[07:34] (Flashback) Ani
    You were a starter right to the end!
[07:36] (Flashback) Ani
    But in my case—
[07:37] (Flashback) Chi
    I want to keep playing baseball!
[07:40] (Flashback) Chi
    I want to play baseball with you again!
[07:45] (Flashback) Ani
    Chisato...
[07:47] (Flashback) Chi
    It's not like you to blame losing
    your spot on being a girl.
[07:54] (Flashback) Chi
    Give it another shot, together with me!
[07:58] Andy
    Shackled.
[07:59] Ura
    I jammed her good!
[08:02] (Flashback) Chi
    Let's challenge ourselves at Fuurin.
[08:06] (Flashback) Chi
    We'll take it to the boys
    and see how far we get!
[08:15] Dai
    Run, Anita!
[08:23] Yay
    She just did that.
[08:24] Nis
    No way.
[08:30] All
    All right!
[08:32] All
    We caught up!
[08:37] Dai
    Nice one!
[08:38] Ani
    Yay!
[08:39] Chi
    Nice home run!
[08:42] Ani
    Yeah!
[08:46] Ura
    Dammit.
[08:48] Andy
    That was unexpected.
[08:49] Andy
    You'd jammed her, but it still
    flew all the way to the stands.
[08:53] Ura
    I must've underestimated them
    on some level 'cause they're girls.
[08:57] Ura
    Damn.
[08:57] Ura
    I won't let them score again!
[08:59] Ura
    We're aiming for the Regionals.
    We can't afford to stumble here.
[09:05] Andy
    Draw a line under it, man.
[09:07] Andy
    Sakura's up next.
[09:08] Andy
    Keep your cool and be careful.
[09:12] Ura
    Yeah, yeah, I know.

[09:28] All
    Yeah!
[09:31] Ani
    Senpai?
[09:33] Dai
    What is it?
[09:34] Ani
    Y'all sure ya want me
    to keep wearin' the mask?
[09:39] Ani
    I might mess up again like last inning.
[09:43] Ani
    When ya said I was bein' tested, ain't that
    the sorta thing ya were worried 'bout?
[09:49] Ani
    My coach back at Little tol' me somethin'...
[09:53] (Flashback) Ani
    But that... That ain't fair!
[09:55] (Flashback) Ani
    S'obvious I'm a zillion
    times better'n him!
[09:58] (Flashback) Ani
    Why'm I bein' made to sit on the bench?!
[10:00] (Flashback) Ani
    Please explain yer decision!
[10:03] (Flashback) Coa
    I didn't want to have to say this,
[10:06] (Flashback) Coa
    but I'll give it to you straight.
[10:08] (Flashback) Coa
    Someone with your personality
    will never make a good catcher.
[10:15] Ani
    He tol' me I'd struggle if I didn't
    become an alert, attentive shot-caller
[10:20] Ani
    with good situational awareness.
[10:22] Ani
    I got hella mad at the time,
[10:24] Ani
    but looks like Coach called it right.
[10:27] Ani
    So that's why...
[10:29] Dai
    I understand.
[10:30] Dai
    We can discuss it some other time.
[10:33] Dai
    But for now, you'll have to see this game out.
[10:38] Dai
    Truth is, I hurt my shoulder
    a while back, so I can't take over.
[10:42] Both

[11:37] Ura
    All right!
[11:38] Ura
    Let's pay 'em back for what they did!
[11:40] Andy
    Keep us rolling!
[11:41] Ani
    I'm sorry.
[11:43] Ani
    I prob'ly oughta left that one to you.
[11:48] Mut
    Jeez, how long are you going to keep moping?
[11:51] Mut
    I'm more than happy pitching to you
[11:54] Mut
    and Daigo can't take your place,
    so you'll just have to get on with it.
[11:57] Mut
    A catcher needs to be able
    to shake it off and go again.
[12:00] Mut
    Believe in yourself!
[12:03] Ann
    Batting eighth, shortstop, Saito-kun.
[12:07] Ump
    Play!
[12:12] Ani
    She's right.
[12:13] Ani
    Why'm I gettin' myself so worked up
    when I'm a total idiot?
[12:16] Coach
    We've figured out her tells.
    We've seen enough to know their game.
[12:23] Coach
    Go!
[12:25] Tao
    He's running!
[12:28] Ura
    All right!
[12:29] Ura
    A perfect steal.
[12:30] Ani
    Ya can't jus' change yer personality.
[12:33] Ani
    If ya make errors,
    ya just hafta correct 'em!
[12:36] Ani
    Right now, I'm the one who
    has to be Fuurin's pivot!

    You're telling me not to run?
[13:30] Ura
    It's the top of the third.
[13:31] Ura
    We're tied at 2-2.
[13:33] Ura
    Two outs and I'm on first.
[13:34] Ura
    Andy, our cleanup, is at bat!
[13:36] Ura
    Did that failed steal
    before spook you, Coach?
[13:42] Ura
    We whittle the other team down
    with our speed. It's how we play.
[13:44] Ura
    It's not like you to go all cautious
    just 'cause we messed up a steal.
[13:51] Ump
    Ball!
[13:53] Ura
    Let me run on the next one, Coach.
[13:57] Ura
    Huh?
[13:57] Ump

    Three outs!
[13:59] Ump
    Change sides!
[14:01] All
    All right!
[14:06] Ura
    Damn.
[14:07] Ura
    They got me.
[14:08] Ura
    'Cause Andy's left-handed, she was in
    my blind spot and I let my guard down.
[14:13] Ura
    I didn't think she'd try
    a pickoff while crouching!
[14:17] Coa
    You idiot!
[14:18] Coa
    I bet you were thinking about
    why I didn't sign for you to steal!
[14:21] Ura
    A-As if I'd do that...
[14:24] Dai
    Anita, nice one!
[14:26] Ani
    'Bout yer pitchin' jus' now...
    I think we oughta go even higher.
[14:31] Mut
    And get them used to that, yeah? Gotcha.
[14:34] Mut
    I think we should hit them
    with some waste pitches, too.
[14:37] Ani
    I'll rethink our pitchin' variations.

    Just two innings left...
[17:45] Dai
    Both teams are back to the top of the order.
[17:47] Dai
    The top and bottom of the
    sixth will be pivotal in this game.
[17:53] Ani
    Let's clean this up!
[17:55] Ura
    I seriously didn't think Sakura's mob would
    make us dig this deep so late in the game.
[18:00] And
    Go, Moriguchi!
    Let's do it this inning!
[18:07] All
    Right!

    I'm so sorry.

    If I hadn't dropped the ball...
[19:05] Ani
    Nah, I fumbled it jus' like you did.
[19:08] Saw
    Well, that's down to how that guy slides.
[19:11] Saw
    He doesn't slow down at all,
    so the glove can easily get knocked away.
[19:14] Mut
    Don't worry about it!
[19:16] Tao
    Yeah, they're only one run ahead.
    The game's still wide open.
[19:23] Ann
    Batting second, center field, Miyata-kun.
[19:26] Ura
    Keep us rolling, Miyata!
[19:30] Mut
    They've started figuring me out
    the third time down the order.
[19:34] Mut
    If I let up now,
    they'll hit it long again!

    Ah, my bad!
[19:54] Ani
    What the heck?
[19:55] Ani
    My wrist feels funny.
[19:58] Ani
    Did I hurt it in that close play earlier?
[20:07] All
    All right!
[20:08] All
    You got it!
[20:10] All
    Nice batting!

    I can see back-to-back pitching
    is catching up with Mutsuko.
[20:16] Ann
    Batting third, pitcher, Urabe-kun.
[20:20] Guy
    All right, go for broke, Urabe!
[20:24] Mut
    Judging from Urabe-kun's pitching,
    we can't afford to let them get any more runs.
[20:31] Mut
    I need to stop him!
[20:41] Mut
    Anita!
[20:44] Saw

[21:12] Ump
    Timeout! Timeout!
[21:14] Ani
    It hurts.
[21:15] Dai
    You hurt your wrist?
[21:17] Ani
    Y-Yeah...
[21:18] Ani
    I'm sorry it happened now,
    of all times...
[21:23] Ump
    If she's hurt bad, you won't be able to continue.
[21:27] Ump
    You only have nine players,
    which means you have no substitutes,
[21:31] Ump
    and if you can't field another catcher,
    you've got no choice but to forfeit the game.
[21:35] Ump
    Do you understand?
[21:37] Ani
    F-Forfeit the game?!
[21:40] Ani
    Stop bein' silly!
[21:41] Ani
    See? I'm fine! Totally fine!
[21:44] Ani
    So let's jus' resume the game!
[21:46] Ani
    Ouch!
[21:49] Ump
    You can't play.
[21:50] Ump
    I'll go talk to your coach.
[21:54] Ani
    No!
[21:56] Ani
    There's no freakin' way
    we're losin' like this!
[22:01] Dai
    Umpire!
[22:06] Dai
    In that case, I'll switch
    from left field to catcher.
[22:11] Dai
    If she moves into the outfield,
    can we finish the game without forfeiting?
[22:19] Ump
    You?
[22:20] Dai
    Yes.
[22:23] Dai
    I will be the catcher.
[24:00] Ani
    Shigeno-senpai's playin' catcher now?
[24:02] Ani
    Was that stuff 'bout his shoulder all lies?
[24:04] Ani
    Wonder what his shot-callin's like...
[24:06] Nis
    Who gives a rat's ass?!
[24:08] Nis

[24:10] Ani
    Sakura-senpai's gettin' doggone tired, too.

    How's he gonna turn this around?
[24:15] Ani
    I can't wait to find out.
[24:16] Nis
    I'm telling you, put me on the mound!
[24:18] Nis
    Hey! Don't ignore me!
[24:20] Ani
    Next time: "That Old Daigo Magic?"
SIGN    That Old Daigo Magic?
[24:22] Nis
    Run to the stage of your dreams!
