	Ice cold beer, here!  Get yer snacks!

Hiro: Jeez, shut up!

Haruka: People are rooting for him on both sides of the field.

Noda: First game of the day and the stands are packed, even though it's not a local team...

(Note: In the early rounds, typically only the Osaka/Hanshin area teams will draw full crowds, because Koshien Stadium is in Osaka.)

Hiro: Whatever.  Weren't there any fake glasses?
	These are all unfocused.  I can barely see.

Noda: Shut up.
	A man who is so popular that he is swarmed by girls when he walks outside with a disguise has no right to complain.

Hiro: What?  What?
	What happened?!

Noda: Just a home run.

Hiro: You're kidding!

Hiro: You're kidding...  right?

Hiro: Did the pitcher toss a dud?

Noda: No,
	it was a tough pitch.
	In middle school, Hideo would have hit a foul ball.
	This guy better think harder about his approach.

Shimizu: Yeah, Tachibana!

Haruka: Oh,
	isn't that-?!

Girls: Kyaaa!
	It's Tsukigata-kun from Ibasho!

Hiro: Tsukigata?

Tsukigata: Sit down, Jin...

Girls: Kyaa!
	Tsukigata-kun!
	Kyaaa!

Girls: (kyaa)(kyaa)(kyaa)(kyaa)

Haruka: Kyaa!
	It's Kunimi-kun from Senkawa High!

Hiro: What?

Meiwa Coach: How does the Koshien bench feel?

Hikari: Oh,
	I was just thinking, I feel bad for the other managers...

Meiwa Coach: But you still accepted it.

Hikari: Ehehe.
	Well, it is an important experience,
	for my future career...

Meiwa Coach: Career...

Meiwa Coach: Which article will you write?

Hikari: Huh?

Meiwa Coach: When your dream comes true, who's your first sports article going to be on,
	Tachibana?  Or Kunimi?

Hikari: Hiro won't make much of an article.
	He doesn't seem to be interested in playing pro.

Meiwa Coach: I don't know about that.
	Besides, wouldn't he make an interesting write-up even if he was playing sandlot ball?

 - Page 91 -

Meiwa Coach: Yes, nice catch!
	C'mon,
	let's get some insurance runs!
