(Ch. 3) Too Late

Teams: Meiwa Ichi

Meiwa Players: Come on!
	Let's break down that sandcastle, already!

Batter: Right!

Cold Guy: (cough)

 - Page 44 -

Meiwa Players: Shit!
	Him again.
	All the good hits we're getting right when we need them are straight at someone!

Meiwa Coach: Most of the put-outs so far have been made by the centerfielder and second baseman.

Meiwa Players: Huh?

 - Page 45 -

Meiwa Players: Yeah!
	Run, run!

 - Page 46 -

Ump: Out!

Meiwa Principal: You there,
	call the coach for me.

Player: Yes, sir.

 - Page 47 -

Hiro: Very nice play, there.

Kine: Shut up!
	Stop throwing that weak crap.
	I'm here to kick the tar out of Tachibana!

Hiro: If their second string loses to a little baseball club,
	Hideo and all of Meiwa will lose face.

Kine: Just make them put him in the game!
	Or else I'll-

Haruka: Way to go, Kine-kun!
	Nice throw home.

Hiro: Or else I'll?

Kine: I'll do my best, Koga-chan.

Meiwa Principal: What is the meaning of this?

Meiwa Coach: I don't know...

Meiwa Principal: Well, you should.
	How can we get this many hits without scoring any runs?!

 - Page 49 -

Hiro: Hit for me.

Meiwa Coach: Principal Yanagi, who is that pitcher of yours?

Principal: I'm not interested in the slightest, so I don't know his name.

Meiwa Principal: Who cares about their pitcher?
	You're still hitting off of him.

Meiwa Coach: I can't shake the feeling that I've seen him somewhere, before.

Pitcher: This is just proper etiquette.

Ump: Out!

Batter: Shit!

Hiro: That was close.

Noda: They're getting desperate.

Hiro: It's been going a little TOO well.
	Trying to fool them with good control and boring fastballs is asking too much.

 - Page 54 -

Noda: Two out, runners on second and third.
	A mistake here's gonna hurt us.

Hiro: ...yeah.

Batter: Mmph!

 - Page 55 -

Batter: Huh?

 - Page 56 -

Ump: Strike three, batter out!

Hiro: Yay,
	I got my first strikeout!
	Yippeee!
	I struck out a Meiwa batter.
	This is the best day ever.

Noda: Knock it off.  Too late.

 - Page 58 -

Principal: You musn't lose.

Meiwa Principal: C-coach!
