Meiwa Principal: Watch, the next one! - Page 7 - Ump: Ball four! Hiro: Yes! Haruka: Here we go! Kunimi-kun during his specialty, the 9th inning! Hikari: If only his leg wasn't injured... right? Haruka: Kunimi-kun, tie-game homerun! Then you don't have to run too hard! Noda: This is two fields in one, it's gonna be mighty hard to hit it over any fences. - Page 8 - Kine: His timing on curveballs is way off.
