Cloth: Sagawa

Yanagi: You're awake.

Shima: Where is everyone?

Yanagi: We have free time until supper.
	Some guys went to play ping pong, some are out on the field.

Shima: What are you drawing?

 - Page 31 -

Shima: That's pretty good for not looking at anything.

Yanagi: I've drawn this picture a hundred times.
	That triple today must have felt good.
	You're the kind of guy that infielders hate the most.

Shima: I hardly ever make contact.

 - Page 32 -

Yanagi: It doesn't matter if they're bloopers for you.
	You can still get infield hits that way.
	I know, why don't you try hitting left-handed, Shima?
	You'll have a better chance at beating out throws from the left-handed batter's box.

Shima: It's too late,
	for that.

Yanagi: I'm not talking about tomorrow.
	You're still a first-year.
	You've got years ahead of you.

Shima: That won't be in time,
	I bet...

Bugs: (bzz)(zz)

Shima: Don't throw your dirty towel on me.
	I got so hot I couldn't sleep.

Shuji: Don't sleep on the ground with your stomach exposed.

Guys: (hey)(ho)(hey)(ho)

Shuji: Shima,
	go get your glove.

Shima: Why?

Shuji: Just get it.

 - Page 35 -

Shuji: Damn,
	no wonder you're dropping all those fly balls.
	Don't you know how to keep this thing in shape?

Shima: I told you,
	I've hardly ever even played catch.

Shuji: If that's true...

Shima: Why would I lie?

Shuji: Then you're really something.
	You AND Ohtake.

 - Page 36 -

Shima: Fumio...
	Ah...  where is Ohtake?

Player: Ohtake went with Kunimi to do a little boxing.

Shima: Are you sure?
	What if something happens to him and...

Player: Just for fun.
	They're not serious.

Sign: Boxing Club

Ohtake: You can still get a concussion even wearing headgear,
	with my punch.

 - Page 39 -

Ohtake: Sorry.  Tomorrow your head will be pounding so hard, you'll barely be able to walk.
	And you DEFINITELY won't be doing any pitching.

Kunimi: Yo.

 - Page 40 -

Ohtake: You see that?!
	When I put the gloves on, I can't go easy.
	Sorry, but I can't be your sparring partner!
	Got it?!

Hiro: Got it.

Shima: Who's that?

Noda: Oh,
	just a passing boxing team captain.

[Senkawa High joins the Final Four.]
[Two more until the Koshien, the dream of dreams!]
