(Ch. 6) That's Obvious

 - Page 96 -

Ump: Strike!

Player: His curve is the best in the last three innings.

Teams: Mitakako
	Senkawa

 - Page 97 -

Players: Then why doesn't he throw a whole lot before the game?
	He wouldn't last nine innings that way.

Arikawa: Which means...

Noda: Yes.
	If we tie the game and send it into extra innings, it's ours.

Sagawa: Bottom of the 8th, down by one.
	We have to get the leadoff batter on, somehow.

Announcer: Safe at first after a third strike that got away from the catcher!

Sagawa: How lame.

Koga: Yes!

Announcer: Seventh-batting Hironaga grinds down and...
	Bunts three fouls...

 - Page 100 -

Announcer: One out!
	However!
	Up next is the terrifying Ohtake, coming off two consecutive home runs!

Sign: Ohtake

Hiro: What will we do?

Koga: That's obvious.
	We need one run here.

 - Page 101 -

Hiro: What will we do?

Koga: That's obvious.

Announcer: The runner's going!

 - Page 102 -

Announcer: The catcher sees him and signals for an outside pitch!

Ump: Safe!

Hiro: Was that a swing to protect the runner?

Koga: I... think so.

 - Page 103 -

Hiro: What was that?

Koga: His luck running out.

Announcer: Now they have two outs and a man on second!
	The tying run is in scoring position!

Sign: Shima

 - Page 104 -

Ump: Strike!

Koga: Anyone can see he's inexperienced.
	He's never faced a curve like that.

Hiro: Are you going to give up completely?
	We still have the bottom of the 9th.

Koga: Am I going to give up...
	completely?

 - Page 105 -

Announcer: He's stealing third!
	...no,
	a bunt-and-run?!

 - Page 106 -

Announcer: Shima might be fast...
	But...
	Oh my!
	He IS fast!
	Shima beats out the throw to first!
	And now Sagawa is rounding third!

 - Page 107 -

Ump: Safe!

 - Page 108 -

Announcer: Tie game!
	Tie game!
	Senkawa has finally caught up using its legs, in the bottom of the 8th!

Teams: Mitakako
	Senkawa

 - Page 109 -

Arikawa: This means?

Noda: The game is ours.

Pitcher: Whatever!

Announcer: A strikeout!

Coach: No problem!
	Our best hitters are up for the 9th!

Koga: So are ours.

Kine: We won!

Announcer: Kunimi ends the game!
	A game-winning hit off the wall with Yanagi on second base in the bottom of the 9th!
	Senkawa joins the Best Eight!

Teams: Mitakako
	Senkawa

Kine: Really?
