“There’s no pitcher more troublesome than this kind of pitcher.”
5th panel:
<Heh…>

“?”
“What was with that not-too-fast-but-not-too-slow pitch just now?”
2nd panel:
(Why was the batter unable to hit that pitch just now?)
3rd panel:
4th panel:
“Huh?”
“What’s wrong with everyone?”

1st panel:
“Masa… I got taken down!” (Smaller text: Even though I’m the ace!)
“Of course you’ll be! You idiot!”
2nd panel:
“Since you have pitched that to scare them, you probably were prepared to get substituted!”
“If it’s like that, then don’t cry!”
3rd panel:
“Yes!”
4th panel:
“With the goal of dominating the Koushien, you have worked hard throughout this year.”
“Showing your determination to those Seidou people is not a bad thing.”
5th panel:
“Yeah, that’s right! I really worked hard this year!”
“I told you that you aren’t supposed to say that yourself everytime! You’re so petty!”
6th panel:
“Because we had last year’s experience…”
“We got stronger!”
7th panel:
“Yeah!”
“And we’ll get stronger and stronger!”

(I must hit no matter what today.)

(There’s definitely some kind of weakness in his pitching motion…)
(I’ll find it!)
7th panel:
{Mei… You were probable trying to scare us with that pitch, weren’t you? But it seems to be having an opposite effect…}
{We aren’t a team that will be scared off so easily…}
