2: Awesome!
3: Woahhhh! Fujitaaaa!
4: Why...
5: Why did I let him go around...?!
6: That might have been our last chance...
7: Why did I rush things and try to go score a point...?

11)
1: Why...?!
2: I knew how important a runner he was...
3: Bases were loaded, and we had Hirazuka...

1: I'm an idiot.....!!
2: D...
3: Dammiiiiit!

14)
1: Kuhh...that was an out just now?!
2: Yep, that was an out. The third base coach got confused and delayed his signal.
3: The runner, Akaboshi dropped his speed a bit around third base.
4: That right fielder Fujita's return pitch was everything.
5: This was Nikogaku's last chance, but they couldn't make it theirs...
6: Now they have this point spread left to deal with for the last inning...
7: It's far too heavy a burden.

15)
1: What's wrong, everyone?!
2: This isn't the time to get down on yourselves! This is the last inning!
3: C'mon, stand up!
4: Let's keep it together, go out there, and kiss 'em goodbye!
5: Hooo...
6: C'mon, let's go! Stand up!
7: Oww, that hurts! Don't pull me!
8: Ahhhh, it's already the last inning?
9: Dammit! I know that was a safe...
10: mumble mumble

16)
sign: Dugout
1: Ahhhhhhhh!
2: Why did you guys stop attacking?!
3: You want me to just let all the runners build up in front of me or something?!
4: Oh?! Wait a minute, is that it?!
5: You want to leave the goodbye scene to me?! Is that how it is?!
6: Hahaha! That's right, I guess getting all excited eight times in a row won't help much!
7: tch! you idiot.
8: You're one comfortable bastard.
9: Who knows how faraway that one point is?
10: What's that?
11: Don't think things'll end that easily...

17)
1: Hahaha! Then let's get serious this time!!
2: Or how about we have Sasazaki score 10 more points in the ninth inning, just to win
even more dramatically?!
3: Do you have any idea of what kind of a situation we're in?! Spouting off such happy-
go-lucky bullshit when we can't even catch up to a single point...
4: Noooooo! That's not iiiiit!
5: You guys aren't acting Nikogaku-ish at all!
6: The Nikogaku I know wouldn't give up no matter how cornered they were!
7: Something's wrong about the mood right now!

18)
1: Isn't obstinance no matter the situation the mark of Nikogaku?!
2: We can't give up!
3: Hamanaka...
4: Kuh...
5: Who said we're giving up...
6: You wanna die, bitch!?

19)
1: Dammit, let's goooo!
2: Ohhhhh!
3: Don't underestimate Nikogaku, you motherfuckers!
4: Hah...haaaah, that was scary...
5: Mikoshiba.
6: Reflection on one's actions is absolutely necessary as a person, and as a player.
7: If you can't agree with yourself, then just reflect as thorough as you need to.
8: But regret is different.
9: Regret will never push you ahead.

20)
1: Listen up. Every single person here is desperately fighting. Desperately fighting this
paper-thin battle.
2: And Sasazaki is just like us!
3: This isn't the time to stand still, Mikoshiba.
4: Those who don't give up will win.
5: Sensei...
6: Heheh...

21)
1: Let's get it together, guys!
2: That's right! Don't go getting chicken here, you bastards!
3: I'm counting on you, Aniyaaaa!
4: Tuck your guts in and stick your chests out!
5: Ohhhhhh!

22)
1: Now that looks more like the Nikogaku I know.
2: Fufu...that Hamanaka sure knows what to say.
3: Ahhh, watch out, it went to the left!
4-5: Hamanaka!
6: It...
7: It's alright!
8: I'm gonna catch it!
9: For sure!
10: I've pulled everyone's legs up until now...
11: How could I screw up here...?! Just watch this!

23)
