Coach: This is an insult, boys.

Players: Mitakako looks angry.

Koga: They're free to interpret this however they wish.
	Of course, I DO want to give Kunimi a break,
	but that's not all.

 - Page 64 -

Koga: This will provide experience for the other players.
	These past three games, we've depended entirely on Kunimi.
	In a way, they weren't real games.
	In order to make sure we don't overestimate our skills, we need to properly ascertain our actual hitting and fielding ability.
	We need the entire team to be one, fighting together to achieve their best.
	Without that, we don't stand a chance against Eikyo Academy, even if we get to face them.
	Even if Kunimi can pitch just as well as Hirota.

Player: That's quite a gamble.

Koga: Tell me about it.

Koga: I already gave Kunimi and Noda that speech, and they agreed to it.
	Do you guys think it's a good idea for a first-time school to be thinking this far ahead?

Kine: Feels nice.
	I'm standing on the highest point of the field.

Kine: All eyes on me!
	Hmph.

Ump: Play ball!

Kine: We now unveil,
	Senkawa's secret weapon.

Ump: Strike!

Kine: Hehe.

Noda: Hey.

Ump: Strike three, batter out!

Announcer: A strikeout!

Kine: Uh!

Dad: Perfect.

Koga: Do you mind if I wash my hands?

Dad: Oh,
	feel free, pardner.
	{Yes, perfect...}

Koga: You've forgotten your bus pass.
	Kunimi Taro...
	...san.

Kine: First!
	Sigh,
	there goes the no-hitter.

 - Page 75 -

Noda: Watch the signs.
	Aim for the glove.

Kine: Chill out.
	It was just a weak pop-up.

Noda: And it was ONLY a single because he popped it up.
	There are only 16 teams left out of over a hundred!
	None of them got this far through luck alone!

Kine: I got it.
	Fine, fine, I'll just have to get serious.

Kine: Urya!
	You better catch that, Kunimi.

 - Page 77 -

Noda: That pitch was high.

Teams: Mitakako
	Senkawa

Hiro: Word.
