Struck out!

'lright!

Well done, Shigeno!

Nice pitching!

He changed the mood of the team...

all by himself.

Ball! Four ball!

Out!

Foul!

Foul!

Dang!

It was just a little bit off too!

Getting cocky, I'll show you...!

I'll make us tie right here!

The pitch of Destiny

Dead ball!

Shigeno!

Shigeno!

Hey!

Are you alright, Shigeno?

Didn't the ball hit you on your dominant hand?

Show me your hand.

I'm alright.

It only hit the grip.

Grip?

Yeah.

I pretended to be in pain to trick the umpire.

"Ouch it hurts!"...

...just kidding.

I see.

Seems Shigeno is alright.

Let's go back.

Don't suprise us!

Grip?

The ball didn't rebound much, if it was hitting the grip...

Okay!

It's one out and first and second loaded!

It's a perfect chance for us to do a comeback!

Go! Go! Bats!

Now hitting number 2: Kellog!

Go for it, Kellog!

This bastard...

Pitching such a dangerous ball towards Shigeno, a pitcher!

Out!

Out!

Damnit!

D-Double Play...

Eh?

Hey you, why are you dissapointed?

Eh?

Well... no...

You should be happy in this situation!

Yeah, yeah!

No way...

We had such a great chance too...

He hit it too well, huh...

Shigeno!

This is bad!

If they find out about my injury, they'll change me out!

Oh geez~! That was really unlucky!

Hey, are you really alright?

Huh?

Why?

Your hand, your hand!

Yeah.

I've told you, it only hit the grip!

Sorry...

I wasted the chance you made for us...

What are you saying?

The match is not over yet. It starts here!

Yees! Just like Shigeno-kun says!

We just have to defend the next inning, and then counterattack!

Right?

Yeah!

I definitely won't give them any points! Count on me!

Alrigh!

Let's do this!

Damn.

I don't think anything broke, but...

Because of the pain and the numbness, I can't grip properly!

Now hitting, number 12:

Morrou!

He's pretending to be calm, but...

When a pitcher gets hit by a ball on his dominant hand...

there's no way that it won't have any effect.

Dead ball!

Oh, nice one, Shigeno!

He's paying them back immediately after he was hit.

He really knows what our style is!

You bastard!

Warning!

Warning!

It became a Warning match...

That means that the next time someone does something that seems like retribution, the match is immediately stopped?

Y-Yes.

Well, they got a warning too, so it's fair.

Why do we get a warning too?!

Just get rid of that clumsy pitcher instead!

You were the ones who hit him first!

Did you say something?!

N-No.

Now hitting; number 8: Dabenport!

Play!

This is odd...

To try to take revenge in such a close game and with no outs...

And I haven't given him such a sign either...

Also, Shigeno isn't the type of guy to do something like that either, I think...

Ball!

Ball two!

Damn!

I can't control them like I want!

It was as I thought.

Ball!

Ball!

Four ball!

No outs and runners on first and second, and now Gibson Jr...

This is a dangerous development...

Sorry 'bout that, my hand slipped a bit...

That's horrible!

So that's how it is after all.

You really were hit by the ball, right?

It's no big thing.

Of course it's a big thing!

Hurry and step down and get that treated!

No way.

I have to beat him.

Even if I would die, I have no intention to step down.

However...

When your hand is injured like that...

can you really keep that man down?

Dunno.

After all, from the very start...

I had no proof that I could suppress him at all.

But I have to do something about him anyway!

You were the one who saved this match...

which was going to be discarded.

Do as you want.

Thank you, old man!

We're counting on you, Shigeno!

Now hitting, number 1:

Joe Gibson Jr.!!

Now that you've lost your prided control...

how will you fight me?

Come on!

Shigeno!

Ball!

Ball!

It's useless, after all...

You spineless wimp!

Fight him like a man, you clumsy pitcher!

You're using the effect of the dead ball that hit you as an excuse to walk me...

Are you afraid to lose our bet...

and are trying to avoid fighting me?!

You're boring...

You're really boring, you bastard!

Damnit!

Ball!

Wait a minute, it's No-3 now!

Hollister!

Contact the bullpen!

Y-Yes!

Damnit!

I can't control the pitches at all!

What should I do?!

I get a good feeling from this!

After all, he's an idiot for not being able to dodge a dead ball.

Shigeno...

Do your best!

Shigeno!

Just drive it straight in to the middle!

Against a lineup like the cowards of the Falcons...

That's enough against them!

Ginumacchi?

Hey you!

What did you just say?

You really got some guts to say something like that in the middle of the Falcons' fans!

In the middle?

That's right!

That's the only thing I can do!

In this situation, when my hand is injured and I can't control properly...

Even if they'll aim for the middle, this is all I can do!

Strike!

Yes!

What...

was that?

99 miles?!

Strike two!

Wh-What's the matter with this speed?!

F-Fast!

Huh? Zero miles?

Is it broken?

No, that's an old type, it just can't show 100 and up.

So that means it was 100 miles/h?!

He...

He still had such a fast pitch in reserve!

His limiter has been removed.

Even if you're pitching for real...

when you control the course of the ball...

the speed will always go down a little.

In that limited condition, Shigeno trained all the time...

to pitch faster than 90 miles per hour.

In other words...

if he removes the limiter that he puts on when he's using control...

it's not strange at all that Shigeno's become able to...

shoot a bullet with a 100 miles speed!

Foul!

That Shigeno...!

In this situation, what astounding pitching!

Impossible!

Against a puny fastball straight in the middle...

all I can do is barely hit it?!

If I get struck out by you just once in this series...

then I will go to Japan...

and put my hands together and apologize in front of your old man's grave!

But in reverse...

If I hit just one homerun off your pitches...

then get out of America immediately!

I will...

even if I have to throw away my pride...

I can't...

get struck out here!

Foul!

That was close!

He changed his grip, and made it more compact, to get a better hit!

No, wait...

What am I doing?

He...

didn't run away in the first at-bat either.

He didn't fear my homerun...

but challenged me face on without hesitation, only intending to strike me out!

In spite of that, when he's challenging me even with his hand hurt...

what kind of small-minded manner am I doing?!

I'll hit!

With my Best Swing...

His Best Shot that he's giving his all for...

I'll break it!

Struck out!

Yeaaaaaah!

He did it!

Yes!

That was really fast!

Yeah.

He managed to strike out Gibson Jr... he's good!

102 miles?!

It was 164 km/h?!

I can't believe it.

I've been burdened with having to apologize to his old man.

But...

that doesn't matter at all anymore!

Honda Jr...

As long as I don't defeat you...

my door to the Majors won't open!

We managed to somehow get through this...

Hey, it's just one out!

We can't relax yet.

And besides, next up is the 4th batter...

Strike!

Strike two!

Damn!

Out!

Okay! Now it's two outs!

It can't be that his hand is...

Balk!

Shigeno!

Shigeno!

What's the matter?

You really hurt your hand after all...

What is this, really? / This is odd.

I couldn't feel the pain nor the numbness up until Junior's turn-at-bat.

Well, I guess this is what they mean with the saying "Gaining super-human strenght at the scene of a fire".

However, suddenly all my energy went away.

Oh well, this should give the next pitcher time to warm up.

Even if I continue to pitch, I'll just cause trouble for you guys, so I'll be a good boy and descend from the plate now.

Shigeno!

We'll win this match...

for sure!

Leave the rest to us!

Yeah.

I'm counting on you.

Well done, Shigeno!

Wait!

I won't forgive you if you try to run away just after you've won!

Even in the same Majors, you and I are in different leagues!

You have to return here...

and fight against me again!

For now, put icing on!

And get him to the hospital!

It's a tough situation, with 2nd and 3rd loaded...

but try to get through it somehow, Baker!

Yeah!

Geez, stupid Shigeno, being so rash!

Even in this country, such a big baseball idiot are rare.

He's formed the match so far...

we can't allow ourselves to lose at this point!

Shigeno!

Oh, Ginumacchi!

Is your hand alright?

Yeah, it's nothing to worry about.

You only need to put on some saliva and it'll heal.

I see...

Anyway...

Thanks for just now.

It's because of your shout that I could challenge them with just hitting straight in the middle.

I need to thank you too.

I recieved courage from you, Shigeno!

Even if I go back to Japan...

I can do my best!

Even if I've given up my dream of going to the Majors...

You'll work hard...

for my sake too, right?

Yeah, count on me!

See you.

Ginumacchi!

Don't ever stop...

playing baseball!

Now hitting,

Number 8: Dabenpot.

Do your best!

Just one more!

Please!

Do something to get us through this!

Supress them, Baker!

We really don't want it to get to the next, Gibson Jr.'s turn!

Out!

You did it!

- Happy Victory! - We did it!

Alright!

We did it!

We did it!

Yes!

We kept our promise, Shigeno!

Remember...

I won't let it end like this! Honda Jr.!

In Japan, the Penant Race is at its climax.

And furthermore, Toshiya and Mayumura is contesting for becoming the Newcomer King?!

They sure are full of energy / burning!

I can't lose either!

Next on Major: Another final battle
