27)
1: #7 right fielder, Fujita-kun!
2: Right fielder, Fujita-kun!
3: I can't believe this. Runners on two bases, with a foul fly...
4: Why didn't they send someone now and put a runner on all three bases?
5: Because Sasazaki's getting hasty now too.
6: If they can't get hits out of Kawakami, then it'll become necessary for them to get a point until #6 come in.
7: There should have been a sign out for an advancing bunt.
8: No, if it gets around to Kawakami, he'll get some hits in this time. As many as he needs to.
9: This is the last inning.
10: I wonder.
Vol. 197 - Gibbim a shird!

28)
1: Couldn't you see the sign?
2: N...no.
3: I thought...there'd be a hole in the left...so I just...
4: I...I'm so sorry!
5: Hirooka...
6: I'm taking you out from the regulars.

29)
1: Got it?
2: I'll say it again.
3: In order to win, we need to think carefully about what's best!
4: Your self is unnecessary! Everything should be for the sake of the team!
5: Y...yes sir!

30)
1: Foul!
2: N...no...
3: I...it was my hands! Here, look!
4: Look how red they are...
5: Mu...?!
6: Don't get so desperate! It was your grip!
7: Dead ball!
8: Seriously?!
9: Yes!
10: Alright, first and second!
11: One out on first and second!

31)
1: KUhaah! First and second...
2: Calm down, Aniyaaaa!
3: Getting any more points here at the ninth...
4: It's alright, Aniya! Do your best!
5: Let's go with the get two! The get two!
6: Looks like Aniya's having it rough too.
7: There was a switch in the middle, but because of all the fouls, he's really been forced to stick in there...
8: He won't do any escapist pitching though, that's for sure.
9: He's symbolizing Nikogaku.
10: Wanna switch out? The ace is about to come in.
11: I'm gonna kill you!
12: Sasazaki High is now switching up players!
13: clamor clamor
14: Ohhh, here he comes!

32)
1: #8, Yonamine-kun is switching in!
2: Along with the batter, Mori-kun!
3: And #6 on second base, Mori-kun!
4: Uniform #16...
5: We've been waitiiiing!
6: Here he coooomes!
7: Wh...who is that?
8: Listen to those cheers!
9: Time for their trump card, huh...
10: Looks like this will be the final showdown.
11: Wh...who is it?
12: Ahh, so he really did come out!
13: H-hey, can I go out to the mound real quick?!
14: Just who is that guy!?

33)
1: Moriiiiii! We're counting on youuuuu!
2: Moriiiiii!
3: Who is that?! You know him, Aniya?!
4: Aniya! Sasazaki's asking for a showdown!
5: Uwahh, Mikoshiba!
6: What's with all this excitement from the crowd?!
7: He's Sasazaki's ultimate weapon!
8: In a game this close, I figure he'd come out sooner or later, but now we're really in trouble!
9: Huh?
10: He's bad at defense, so he'd never be used as a starting member, but his batting is top class!
11: Wh...what?!
12: The bottom line is, he's a genius at matching the bat up with the ball, so they call him the hitting machine!

34)
1: I saw it with my own eyes.
2: He hit 35 fouls.
3: And then he took three bases with a gentle pitch.
4: He studies the pitcher by hitting a bunch of fouls and then tires them out.
5: Also, this is an infamous story, but...
6: That Mori guy...
7: has only hit two strikes in his whole batting career, when he was 9 and first started playing.
8: Since then, he's never missed even once...
9: Enough of your mouth.
10: Ugah!
11: You came all the way out here to tell us something that stupid?
12: Don't you have anything better to say?!

35)
1: G...
2: Gibbim a shird! (Give him a third!)
3: Leave it to me.
4: Moriiiii!
5: Seal the game for us, Moriiii!
6: Play!
7: Sure is a relief to see Mori out there!
8: They'll at least be able to get one more point now.
9: C...c'mon, Mori!
10: clamor clamor

36)
1: Strike!

37)
1: What is this?!
2: He has no record of missed strikes...
3: None!
4: And not only that, but his batting average is...

38)
1: Foul!
2: This is the first time I've ever seen such a curve.
3: To think there was another guy out there besides me...
4: Kuhaah, that was dangerous...
5: Aniya...

39)
1-2: Foul!
3: Cutting close balls one after another, huh...
4: He's waiting until there are no balls left to be thrown,
5: watching carefully as the force behind each pitch slowly deteriorates...
6: Waiting for that eventual sweet pitch.

40)
1: Hey, hey, your pitches really are getting gentler and gentler.
2: You at your limit already?
3: Heh!
4: Looks like you still haven't noticed.

41)
1: I'm letting you hit fouls on purpose.
2: Hmph!
3: Liar.
4: Look at all that sweat!
5: No missed swings!?
6: Your opponents were probably all small fries.
7: Hey, no talking on the field!
8: You've only ever gone up against

42)
1: a bunch of loser
2: pitchers!

43)
1: Woahhh, look at that speed...!
2: I...it's floating!

1: Strike!
2: Batter out!
3: Yeaaaaaaah!
