4: Th...they caught up...
5: See! See see see!

7: He went absolutely crazy, but he did it!
8: I can't believe it...and with a swing like that...
9: Just what...what is with that team...
10: No!
11: wait wait wait wait!
12: wait a minute!
13: What?
14: That cross play just now!
15: Something's wrong there!
16: Huh? What are you saying so desperately like that?
Vol. 204 - Extended? Excellent!

155)
1: Wasn't that a safe?
2: At the point where Kawakami dropped the ball.
3: Huh?
4: No matter how quickly you jump down to pick up the ball, you still have to touch it a
second time, right?!
5: Right, Yoshi-san?!
6: It's an out.
7: Right?! The rules say that
8: Ehhhh, seriously!?
9: He kept the ball firmly during the cross play.
10: He dropped it after the out had happened.

156)
1: Kakaka! He's right.
2: B...but he jumped down desperately...
3: We can't take every little minor detail into account when it comes to rules.
4: Each separate play is a frantic one.
5: If a ball is dropped, then jumping down is natural.
6: That's what players do.
7: What were you doing!? Why would you go around that way!?
8: Yeah! Just go die already!
9: We could have said sayonara there!
10: I can't believe this! I can't believe that idiot!
11: Hey, at least just be happy that we got a tie!

1: You're really something, Hiratsuka! I can't believe you hit that!
2: You really are...
3: Hiratsuka...
4: Huh?
5: Heheh...
6: ...aw, come on.
7: Alright everyone, time for the extension!
8: Okay! Defense, defense!
9: Ha ha haaaah! An extension! Did you see that?!
10: This is what Nikogaku's all about!
11: I told you to hit the ball right before while dodging, didn't I?
12: You could have died there.
13: What kind of a player hits like that?

158)
1: You really were awesome out there, though.
2: Hitting the ball under all that pressure!
3: The timeliest miracle I've ever seen!
4: But it's just a stupid tie now.
5: It's because it was you out there, Hiratsuka-kun, that we got this tie.
6: I've never seen something that amazing.
7: It's alright. I know we can win this.
8: Now let's go to Koushien!

2: Stuff like this happens!
3: Your pitching is the best, remember?!
4: B...Bessho-san...
5: All we need to do is keep attacking!
6: Let's show them the real Sasazaki!
7: That's right, the real game starts now!
8: Extended? Excellent!
9: Bessho-san...
10: Everyone...
11: A...alright!
12: OK, everyone get into a circle!
13: Let's all go out there together!

2: Let's do it one more time!
3(2b): Yeaaahhh! You're our Captain, aren't you?!

7: Kuhaaah...a tie?
8: Why can't they just win cleanly like usual?
9: They're like, getting all desperate and shit now.

4: OK!
5: Let's take it easy now, Nakajima!
6: Hit it and go, hit it and go!
7-9: Nakashimaaaaa!
10: I think Koushien really is the kind of place...
11: you don't go to because of feeling responsibility,
12: or from wanting to return a debt...
13: It isn't the sort of place you go to with a sense that it's your mission.
14: It's somewhere you go for your own glory...
15: A place you go after playing desperately and winning.

164)
1: Saitou...
2: That's why there's something wrong with only winning alone.
3: They should be out there fighting with the best plays they've got
4: that they desperately tried to perfect during practice.
5: If they do that, then it shouldn't be painful no matter the result.
6: Don't mind it! Aniya, your force is dropping!
7: Let's end it all in one hit!
8: Suda, you've got it today!
