**[00:12] Souichirou**
*Incredible.*
**[00:16] Nishimura's Dad**
Who *is* that?
**[00:19] Nishimura**
Huh?
**[00:20] Nishimura**
That's Touma Tachibana.
**[00:22] Umpire**
Play ball!

Who...
**[00:56] Nishimura's Dad**
...*is* that?
**[00:58] Nishimura**
I just told you. It's Touma Tachibana.
**[01:17] Umpire**
Out!
**[01:29] Touma**
That last pitch was the best one, right?
**[01:32] Souichirou**
Did you change something on purpose?
**[01:37] Touma**
I just did my usual thing.
**[01:39] Touma**
My speed felt about the same.
**[01:42] Touma**
Was something weird?
**[01:43] Souichirou**
Oh, well, I just thought the spin rate on
your fastball had increased a little bit.
**[01:49] Touma**
Is that good?
**[01:50] Souichirou**
Of course.
**[01:53] Touma**
Oh. Neat.
**[01:59] Souichirou**
I was lying, idiot.
**[02:04] Souichirou**
It was more than a little bit.

**[03:42] Colorcaster**
* Those three quick outs have*
* got the stadium going wild.*
**[03:46] Colorcaster**
* Seinan's batting average is*
* every bit as good as Kenjo's,*
**[03:51] Colorcaster**
* but the only contact anyone made*
* was with the slow-curve at the end.*

**[03:58] Colorcaster**
* The fastballs they couldn't get*
* a piece of were all over 150 kph.*
**[04:02] Colorcaster**
* In his first appearance of the day,*
* Meisei High's ace Touma Tachibana*
**[04:07] Colorcaster**
*completely dominates the mound.*
**[04:10] Nishimura**
Boy, it's noisy in here.
**[04:13] Tadokoro**
Let's just take it back
to the center of the ring.
**[04:16] Tadokoro**
Losing on the first face-off makes it
harder against an opponent like this.
**[04:20] Nishimura**
Could you stop comparing
everything to sumo wrestling?
**[04:25] Tadokoro**
My point is, it's time to make
some noise of your own.
**[04:30] Tadokoro**
Tiger.
**[04:32] Nishimura**
Who are you calling "Tiger"?
**[04:36] Colorcaster**
* It's the bottom of the first,*
* and first up to the plate for Meisei...*
**[04:40] Colorcaster**
*is their center fielder, Akai.*
**[04:44] Colorcaster**
*Nishimura begins his windup.*

* Nishimura makes a*
* statement with his fastball.*
**[05:09] Colorcaster**
*And that one also comes in over 150 kph.*
**[05:41] Colorcaster**
* I-Incredible. More dominant*
* pitching from Seinan's Nishimura.*
**[05:46] Colorcaster**
*The crowd is roaring.*
***SIGN*** Seinan
***SIGN*** Meisei
***SIGN*** 1st
***SIGN*** 2nd

**[05:48] Colorcaster**
* Meisei's time at the plate is an*
* action replay of the top of the inning.*
**[05:53] Colorcaster**
* What a way to start the second match of*
* the East Tokyo Championship semifinals!*
**[05:59] Touma**
Seriously, were you in on that?
**[06:02] Touma**
It was a total match.
**[06:06] Souichirou**
It was what I expected.
**[06:14] Souichirou**
Including him throwing a curve.
**[06:21] Souichirou**
I just didn't know his curve was that good.
**[06:25] Touma**
Oh, yeah?
**[06:32] Yoshiko**
I never knew he was that awesome a pitcher.
**[06:41] Yoshiko**
Otomi?
**[06:43] Otomi**
Yeah?
**[06:45] Yoshiko**
You looking for someone?
**[06:48] Otomi**
Yeah. Dad left home without his phone.
**[06:55] (Flashback) Mayumi**
Oh?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Mayumi**
Your father forgot his cell phone.
**[07:03] (Flashback) Mayumi**
Give it to him if you find him
at the ballpark, would you?
**[07:07] Yoshiko**
You won't find him in a crowd like this.
**[07:15] Otomi**
Yeah. Let's focus on the match.
**[07:25] Colorcaster**
* Wasn't the pitching from both teams in*
* the first inning incredible, Mr. Omoteura?*
**[07:33] Hyouri**
I tell you every year. It might be
*written* as "Omoteura," but it's "Hyouri."
**[07:37] Colorcaster**
Oh, please excuse me.
**[07:40] Hyouri**
Still, leaving Tachibana aside, it's a
surprise to see Nishimura north of 150 kph.
**[07:47] Colorcaster**
We definitely had an image of him
as a breaking ball pitcher.
**[07:52] Hyouri**
Of course, they can't keep
this kind of pitching up forever.

**[07:59] Hyouri**
Baseball is nine innings.
They've got a long way to go.
**[08:03] Hyouri**
Getting 27 outs isn't easy.
**[08:06] Hyouri**
It's important to apply the gas and brakes
as needed, and not get carried away.
**[08:12] Hyouri**
Stepping on the gas the
whole time leads to accidents.
**[08:15] Hyouri**
Momentary caution ensures a long life.
**[08:17] Hyouri**
Haste makes waste.
**[08:19] Hyouri**
Gargle, wash your hands, mask up,
avoid the Three Cs, and ventilate.
**[08:23] Hyouri**
Raise the red, lower the white!
**[08:26] Colorcaster**
*I think you lost the thread a little.*
**[08:28] Colorcaster**
*Anyway, we're past three innings now.*

**[08:31] Colorcaster**
*Both sides continue to pitch perfect innings.*
**[08:36] Hyouri**
Huh?
**[08:42] Colorcaster**
*The match started at 11:30,*
**[08:46] Colorcaster**
* and as both teams have failed*
* to get a runner on base,*
**[08:49] Colorcaster**
* we've reached the fourth*
* inning in under 30 minutes.*

***SIGN*** Mitsuya
**[08:58] Colorcaster**
*Seinan's lineup gets its second go through.*
**[09:03] Colorcaster**
*But...*
**[09:22] Colorcaster**
* Just getting a piece of it*
* leads to big cheers.*
**[09:27] Mitsuya**
The ball's drifting high.
**[09:32] Mitsuya**
Ah, sorry.
**[09:35] Mitsuya**
Just making an excuse for my strikeouts.
**[09:40] Nishimura's Dad**
Trust your eyes.
**[09:49] Nishimura's Dad**
In my time, I've seen a few high school
pitchers seemingly transform overnight...
**[09:59] Colorcaster**
*Another strikeout. That's his ninth today.*
**[10:05] Nishimura's Dad**
But I've never seen a transformation
as drastic as *this* before.
**[10:10] Colorcaster**
* Touma Tachibana's not letting*
* anyone get a foot in the door today.*
**[10:15] Tadokoro**
There's one other.
**[10:19] Tadokoro**
Another pitcher who has transformed...

**[10:28] Colorcaster**
*And in the bottom of the fourth,*
**[10:29] Colorcaster**
* Meisei's back at the top of their*
* order with center fielder, Akai.*
**[10:46] Seinan Team A**
That's a good expression.
**[10:52] Seinan Team A**
Oh, I'm not suggesting
he's handsome or anything.
**[10:56] Nishimura's Dad**
You didn't need to clarify.
**[11:00] Seinan Team A**
I haven't ever seen Nishimura
that happy while pitching before.
**[11:07] Nishimura's Dad**
Really?
**[11:09] Nishimura's Dad**
I have.
**[12:04] Umpire**
Foul!
***SIGN*** Tachibana S
**[12:22] Umpire**
Strike!
**[12:37] Colorcaster**
* Struck him out.*
* His ninth of the day, too.*
**[12:40] Nishimura**
Yeah!
**[12:43] Colorcaster**
*Nishimura strikes a power pose on the mound.*

**[13:36] Otomi**
Hello?
**[13:38] Mayumi**
*What? Otomi?*
**[13:41] Mayumi**
You haven't given the phone
to your father yet?
**[13:45] Otomi**
I can't go looking for Dad
right now. I don't have time.
**[13:50] Otomi**
Need something?
**[13:53] Mayumi**
I was wondering what he wanted for dinner.
**[13:57] Otomi**
Bah!
**[13:59] Otomi**
Honestly.
**[14:02] Touma**
Haven't seen you strike out in a while.
**[14:08] Touma**
Look, I get it. You don't have to say it.
**[14:12] Touma**
"I only swung at two."
**[14:15] Touma**
"That second one was a ball's width outside.
It shouldn't have counted as a strike."
**[14:22] Souichirou**
I'm surprised.
**[14:25] Touma**
Right?
**[14:26] Touma**
I can read everybody's thoughts today.
**[14:31] Touma**
I'm even scaring myself.
**[14:33] Touma**
No one's getting a hit off me today!
**[14:42] Souichirou**
Whatever.
**[14:44] Souichirou**
I really did just strike out, though.
***SIGN*** Kenjo High School
**[14:57] Colorcaster**
* No action there. Another inning*
* with three up, three down.*
**[15:01] Colorcaster**
*We haven't had a single man on base.*
**[15:04] Colorcaster**
* So far today, both pitchers*
* have faced the minimum.*
**[15:09] Colorcaster**
* Here in the second semi of the East Tokyo*
* Championship, the fifth inning has ended.*

* Meisei's ace, Tachibana,*
* and Seinan's ace, Nishimura,*
**[15:17] Colorcaster**
* remain perfect through five*
* here in Jingu Stadium.*
**[15:24] Komiyama**
I was expecting a pitchers' duel,
**[15:28] Komiyama**
but I didn't expect them
both to do their career best.
**[15:32] Komiyama**
They're pitching in a way that
invalidates all of our data so far.
**[15:36] Tomohito**
It's a rather abnormal match.
**[15:40] Yamaji**
Darn straight.
They're both perfect through five.
**[15:46] Tomohito**
Well...
**[15:50] Tomohito**
That's not what I meant.
**[16:18] Haruka**
Strikeout number...
**[16:20] Haruka**
Thirteen?!
**[16:25] Colorcaster**
*Fourteen!*
**[16:33] Touma**
Yup, yup, yup.
**[16:37] Souichirou**
It's perfect.
**[16:40] Ooyama**
R-Right.
**[16:42] Ooyama**
Of course it is! Perfect, indeed!
**[16:46] Souichirou**
Every ball has gone
where he meant it to go.
**[16:49] Souichirou**
I haven't moved my mitt
once after putting it up.
**[16:55] Ooyama**
You're awfully calm, given that.
**[16:59] Souichirou**
I always thought one minor
change could result in this.
**[17:05] Souichirou**
We might just see
a perfect game here today.
**[17:12] Souichirou**
The only question is,
which team will pitch it?
**[17:16] Ooyama**
Hey now...
**[17:20] Nishimura**
Fourteen strikeouts?
**[17:24] Nishimura**
How many do I have again?
**[17:27] Tadokoro**
Ten.
**[17:28] Nishimura**
Damn.
**[17:30] Nishimura**
Even if I strike out the side
this inning, I can't draw level.
**[17:33] Tadokoro**
C'mon now. Victory isn't
determined by how many slaps land.
**[17:38] Tadokoro**
You guys are grappling
in the ring right now.
**[17:40] Tadokoro**
Lower your hips and stand strong.
**[17:43] Nishimura**
Huh?
**[17:44] Nishimura**
Not sure I followed that, stable master.
***SIGN*** Nangou
***SIGN*** Tachibana T
***SIGN*** Koma
***SIGN*** Nishiki
**[17:57] Nishimura**
*No one's getting a hit off me.*
**[17:59] Nishimura**
*There's the power of my low fastballs...*
**[18:05] Nishimura**
*And...*
**[18:20] Nishimura**
* ...the break on my secondary pitches*
* even the catcher can't grab.*
**[18:23] Koma**
Zoom, zoom.
**[18:26] Colorcaster**
*I-Incredible.*
**[18:28] Colorcaster**
* The first runner on base for either team*
* is Kousaku Koma, Meisei's 7-hole,*
**[18:33] Colorcaster**
*off an uncaught third strike.*
**[18:35] Koma**
Winner.
**[18:37] Timon D**
An uncaught third strike!
**[18:38] Timon D**
Hey, great work!
**[18:42] Tadokoro**
Sorry, Nishimura.
**[18:44] Nishimura**
An uncaught... third strike?
**[18:48] Tadokoro**
I didn't expect a pitch
that fast to break like that.
**[18:52] Nishimura**
Does that mean there's a chance
I can get *four* strikeouts this inning?
**[19:00] Nishimura**
Heck yeah!
**[19:01] Nishimura**
I'm gonna win this grapple!
**[19:06] Colorcaster**
* Nishiki, batting eighth,*
* with a sacrifice bunt.*
**[19:10] Nishimura**
Damn it.
**[19:12] Colorcaster**
*Nishimura rushes out.*
**[19:13] Colorcaster**
*He grabs it and throws to second.*
**[19:15] 2nd Base Ump**
Out!
**[19:16] Colorcaster**
*Then, to first.*
**[19:18] 1st Base Ump**
Out!
**[19:18] Colorcaster**
*It's there in time. A double play!*
**[19:25] Colorcaster**
*Excellent fielding from Nishimura.*
**[19:34] Colorcaster**
*Two outs, no runners. And...*
**[19:40] Colorcaster**
*...strikeout number twelve!*
**[19:46] Nishimura**
Damn.
**[19:47] Nishimura**
I sat them down in order anyway,
**[19:50] Nishimura**
so can they just say
my perfect game is still alive?
**[19:53] Tadokoro**
Dosukoi, dosukoi!
