(5) Catcher, No. 9

 - Page 102 -

Catcher: Yowww.

Soccer Player: Fast.

Kine: May I throw for real now?

Catcher: Huh?

 - Page 103 -

Catcher: Hyah!
	Captain!  He's too fast, I just can't catch them.

Akagi: Shameful.  You just moved the mitt cause you wussed out.

Catcher: Please, switch spots with me.

Akagi: Man, shut up!
	I told you, I'm 3rd base and hitting clean-up!

Catcher: Awwww, c'mon.

Kine: Haha.
	It's okay, I can go a little easier.

 - Page 104 -

Kine: A nice handicap.

Haruka: What's that supposed to mean?!
	You're saying that so you have an excuse when you lose!

Kine: I'm being considerate.
	I'm sure you guys would like to score at least one run.

Haruka: You'll get what's coming to you if you think you can play baseball just by throwing fast.

Kine: What am I supposed to do?  He says he can't catch it if I throw my hardest.

 - Page 105 -

Catcher: Captaaaaain.

Hiro: Should I try catcher?

Akagi: Can you handle what he's throwing?

Hiro: Probably...

Kine: You should stop now.  As long as you don't want to embarrass yourself.

Hiro: So you decided you didn't want to throw hard after all?
	Or do you really intend to use it as an excuse if you lose?

 - Page 106 -

Kine: You might get hurt!

 - Page 107 -

Hiro: No matter how hard you throw, if you've got that much control, I think I can get by without hurting myself.

Akagi: Okay!  Kunimi, you're playing catcher, hitting 9th!
	Now, let's start!!

 - Page 108 -

Haruka: Do your best!

Baseball Players: Okay!!

Teams: Soccer Team
	Baseball Club

Akagi: Awright, Nabe, start us off!

Nabe: Yup!
	Bring it on!

Pitcher: Uh, okay.

 - Page 109 -

Nabe: What the hell was that?

Baseball Player: Yow!

Haruka: Yaaaay!
	Nice catch, second!

Hiro: *clap clap*
	Nice batting.

 - Page 110 -

Baseball Player: Whoops.

Soccer Player: Safe!

Akagi: Tha's right, tha's right, roll over 'em!
	We got more speedy guys than track and field.

Haruka: Don't worry about it!

 - Page 111 -

Kine: {Watch me, Koga.
	I'll show you how unworthy those losers are of your cheering.}

 - Page 112 -

Akagi: Yeah!
	Batting clean-up, the 3rd baseman, Akagi-kun!
	Wahaha!

Kawamura: Call me Hikari.

 - Page 114 -

Captain: Ya always start slowly.

Kine: Hey!  Can't you throw it back any faster?

Hiro: Sorry.
	Got me a weak arm.

 - Page 115 -

Hiro: Wanna set up the signs?
	You can throw a curve, right?

Kine: It'd be wasted on these losers.
	My fastball will give me change to spare.

Hiro: Oh.
	Nice.

Haruka: Okay, get those runs back one at a time!

Baseball Players: Yeah!

Umpire: Strike three, yerrr out!

Noda: Hey,
