Episode 011

This Is Nationals Level (これが全国レベル, Kore ga Zenkoku Reberu) is the eleventh episode of the Tamayomi anime.

Synopsis
A string of bad luck lands Yomi and the team in a tough situation. They'll have to shut down Ryoyukan's power hitters, but can Yomi and Tamaki rise to the challenge?

Summary
Ryoyukan start batting in the third inning. The first batter waits for Yomi's magic ball and manages to it it and get to second base. You also waits for the magic ball, but as Yomi doesn't throw it, she still hits her two-seam. The next batter bunts, helping her teammate reach the base, but gets taken out. Tamaki decides to walk the next batter, but she still bunts and the ball goes high, but the sun gets in Tamaki's eyes and she fails to catch the ball, allowing the batter to reach the base. As Nakata comes out, they decide to walk her again, but with all bases loaded, they get a run. With Yomi's pitching, they manage to end the inning without letting any more runs.

In the fourth inning, Shin Kogashiya doesn't manage to score. Ryoyukan manage to make two hits, but both result in outs. Having seen a really fastball from Yomi, they wonder why she isn't throwing it and start to guess that she haven't mastered it and she learned breaking ball first instead of a fastball. Hearing that, Nakata realizes that Yomi can throw even faster and her desire to see it rises. Yomi then throws her real fastball and the batter hits it resulting it a fly ball, but they fail to catch it. They still manage to take out You and end the inning. Tamaki wonders if Yomi is tired as she threw about 60 pitches, but she explains she can throw max 250 a day, but with full power probably 120.

In the fifth inning, Shin Kogashiya again doesn't manage to score. Yomi manage to make two outs, but Nakata comes to bat again. Yoshino tells Tamaki that its up to her if they want to walk or challenge her as with Yomi's real fastball, they can do it. Tamaki tells the team to back out as they prepare to challenge her. They manage to make a strike, but Nakata then hits Yomi's magic ball, but it results in a foul ball. Seeing that, Tamaki tells Yomi to throw outside balls and Nakata still keeps hitting them, even though they result in foul balls, as she knows that if she doesn't swing, they will just walk her. Tamaki figures out that Nakata is waiting for Yomi's real fast ball and decides to do it. However, as Nakata was indeed waiting for it, she hits it clean and sends it outside, scoring a home run.
