Announcer: Here we go!

 - Page 171 -

Announcer: A fresh start!
	The delayed semifinals are here!
	The Final Four showdown!
	The Spring Invitational Tournament is all down to three games, today and tomorrow!
	Who will carry home the flag of victory...?

Coach: You're not wondering about the Koshien?

Hideo: Huh?

Coach: Oooh.

 - Page 174 -

Hideo: Ueki's moving well out there.

Coach: Only because you're back.
	He was really upset about hitting you in the face.

Hideo: Was he thinking
	that was why I was resting myself...?

Coach: He's a worrywart.
	As long as you get a pinch at-bat, he'll probably settle down.

Hideo: You can't ask too much when I've just recovered.
	It'll take a bit of time to regain my poise.

Coach: This isn't like you.
	You never make excuses before you bat.

 - Page 175 -

Coach: Plus, you've already been swinging,
	at the batting cages.

Hideo: Did Hikari tell you?

Coach: Please, put me at ease.
	I'm a worrywart, too.

Announcer: Here we go!
	The umpire raises his hand, and the game starts right at 11:00.
	Time for Semifinal #1!
	Senkawa, as the home team, has but one man for the mound!

 - Page 177 -

Ump: Strike!

Mr. Amamiya: Yeaah!

 - Page 178 -

Announcer: Last game, he struck out 16 and allowed two hits to Hokai Dairoku...
	The best start of any game this tournament!
	However,
	Today's opponent is Kiyoshima Shogyo!

Scoreboard: Kiyoshima Sho
	Senkawa

Announcer: They've got a tradition of being very mobile, taking advantage of mistakes and working the game momentum in their favor.

 - Page 179 -

Announcer: They've got several players who can run 100 meters in 11 seconds,
	who take quick, shortened swings with the bat.
	Not a single one hits for power.

Koga: (sniff)

Announcer: Will even Kunimi have trouble achieving his usual strikeouts today?!

 - Page 180 -

Announcer: There it is!

 - Page 181 -

Ump: Safe!

Announcer: It was a close play, but the legs won it!
	Kiyoshima Shogyo's leadoff batter Hayashida is on!

Mr. Amamiya: No way!
	He was out!
	Right?
	Right?

Hikari: Right...

 - Page 182 -

Mr. Amamiya: What's up?
	It was your idea to come out and root for him...

Hikari: Hide-chan told me,
	to go...

Coach: {Meiwa Ichi, #5,
	out-of-the-park home run...}
